Chapter 2541 – 2545
Chapter 2541 Jackie preferred more secluded areas where he would not be disturbed. He would also be able to seewhat everyone else was doing.
He had thought that nothing would happen since he found such a secluded area, but he never expectedto be called out just a moment after sitting down.
Johnson angrily shouted from the front, “You’re here as well? How brave of you!
“You’ve never even attended a single one of Elder Eliot’s classes, and you dare to attend his test? Whogave you all that courage?”
Jackie looked up and saw Johnson. At that moment, he felt incredibly exasperated. Jackie no longerknew what to say. He had picked such a secluded place because he did not want any conflicts. Thoseannoying flies seemed to be able to smell fruits or vegetables on him. They insisted on causing himtrouble.
Jackie let out a cold laugh, “Why do you care if I’m taking the test? Just pay attention to yourself!”

Jackie’s tone had been incredibly cold. It was frosty to the limits. Their conversation had successfullyattracted the attention of most.
Quite a few of them recognized Jackie as the one who had a fight with Johnson and Harold in the taskhall. The quiet atmosphere had suddenly been shattered.
Everyone looked on amusedly. It caused Jackie to be rendered speechless. He really wanted to askJohnson to shut his mouth and use his skills to do talking.
However, Jackie knew that Johnson would not shut his annoying mouth even if he said that. Johnsonwould insist on using words

to prove himself. He would insist on having everyone else insult Jackie.
Behind Johnson was Harold. Harold had seen Jackie as well, and his eyes were full of rage.
Jackie’s words had been so incredibly hard to hear. When he went back, he was even laughed at. Thefire in his heart had burned for a long time, causing Jackie to be on Harold’s must kill list.
At that moment, he saw Jackie in front of him again. Harold wanted nothing more than to slice Jackie inhalf. He had been sitting at the frontmost mat, but he stood up and walked toward Jackie.
Jackie frowned as he looked at Harold without saying anything. Harold should have already known thathe would not be able to beat Jackie in a war of words after the conflict from the day before, but he stillwalked over.
Harold let out a cold laugh as he looked
down at Jackie, “I thought you were ignorant yesterday, but I guess I was wrong. You’re just a completeidiot. Did your runner not tell you how strict Elder Eliot is?
“He expects a lot. No one knows what Elder Eliot will be testing us on at all. Are you trying to prove howdumb you are by coming here?”
Jackie could not help but rolled his eyes. He averted his gaze, not wanting to look at Harold. However,he knew that Harold would only cause him more trouble if he did not react to the insults.

Jackie smiled as he said, “Everyone here knows how strict Elder Eliot’s tests are. I didn’t need you to tellme. How would you know what my results will be?”
When Harold heard Jackie’s words, he suddenly let out a laugh. His laugh got louder and louder until hecould barely stand up. Even though his laugh was very exaggerated, no one dared to mock him.
Harold took a deep breath and replied, “If you get good results in the test, I’ll write my name backward!”
Chapter 2542 Jackie looked at Harold with an annoyed expression, feeling like he was more irritating than a fly. Beforehe came, he had wondered if he would bump into Harold.
However, Jackie would not let anyone disrupt his plans. After entering the hall, he had quickly foundhimself in a secluded spot but was still spotted by Johnson.
Jackie took a deep breath as he looked up at Harold and said, “Do you not have anything else to doother than causing trouble? Whether I take part in this test or not, does it have anything to do with you?”
Harold grunted as he said, “Of course, it has nothing to do with me, but you were the one who stole mytask before this. Did you forget what I said before?”
Jackie could not imagine what was going through Harold’s mind to accuse him of stealing Harold’s task.The way he managed to twist reality like that rendered Jackie speechless.
It was as if he was a bandit, and Harold was the victim. Even Rudy could not help but frown as he lookedat Harold speechlessly.
The way Harold spoke made him seem like he was on the righteous side. It was as if Jackie hadwronged him, which led him to retaliate. Jackie had wanted to control himself and not cause a scene, butafter hearing that, he could no longer hold back. They let out a laugh, but the laugh was incredibly cold.
“You claim that I stole your task? Are you not ashamed of yourself? Everyone clearly saw in the task hallthat I had claimed the task before you suddenly appeared and asked me to cancel it.
“After that, you wanted me to give the task to you. You’re the one who’s acting so
unreasonable, so why are you saying I stole what was yours? Is something wrong with your brain?You’re so petty and shameless!”
Jackie had never expected that he would be able to throw such harsh insults before. He had neverregarded Harold as great anyway. Harold was so angry his fists shook.
The anger he had put aside the day before boiled again. He clenched his teeth as he looked at Jackie,“You dare…”
Those words seemed to come out from the gaps in Harold’s teeth. At that moment, Harold was alreadyat the limits of his anger. He had never felt so humiliated ever since he entered Phoenix Valley.
Everything Jackie said seemed like a slap on his face. Harold felt like he had been greatly insulted. EvenJohnson was furious.
“Jackie! Do you know what you’re doing now? I know you have no filter but just think about what theconsequences of your words will be!”
Jackie raised an eyebrow and said, “Consequences? Why would I need to care? Can the two of you stopannoying me? I really don’t want to waste any more time with you.
“Didn’t you understand what I said earlier? Me participating in the test has nothing to do with either ofyou. The two of you were the ones who came over and a fight!”
The two parties were already at the peak of anger. If they continued talking, they might actually startfighting. Everyone had already turned to look at Jackie and Harold.
Everyone knew of Harold, but Jackie was a fresh face. Jackie had the look of a naive lamb who was notafraid of any tigers. It caused a lot of discussions.
“Harold is really banging his head into the wall this time. It’s the first time anyone has dared to speak likethat to him.”
Chapter 2543“Does this guy not know how talented Harold is?”
“He knows. Johnson even told him about Harold yesterday. Do you know what he said? He said thatHarold knowing the Way of the Phoenix Pill had nothing to do with him…”
“Really?! That kid is so aggressive…’
“I feel like there are two possibilities. First, there’s something wrong with this guy’s brain. He’s not scaredof being slaughtered at all. Ignorance is bliss. He probably doesn’t care who he’s facing. He will set hismouth on anyone who provokes him.
“The second possibility is that this kid is actually very skilled. He doesn’t think Harold is worth anything atall which is why he can act like this.”
“Is he skilled? I’ve never heard of him
before. He’s probably a newcomer to Phoenix Valley. Everyone who enters Phoenix Valley is somewhattalented.
“I think that he was probably at the peak of where he came from before this. That’s why he’s so arrogantthat even coming to Phoenix Valley couldn’t shave off some of his pride. He probably thinks he can standover everyone. He’s clearly an idiot!”
Most of them did not regard Jackie highly. After all, Jackie was a stranger and they did not know muchabout him. On top of that, Jackie’s words caused everyone to think that he was just a stubborn fool.
Various words were heard by Jackie, but Jackie did not care at all. People could say what they wantedto, it had nothing to do with him.
All he needed to do was to do well in the test at that moment. There was no need to say anything else.Harold was already panting in anger thanks to Jackie at that point. His whole body was shaking slightly.
He had already been furious the day before, and it somehow got worse. As far as words went, he did notseem to be able to beat Jackie. On top of that, Jackie’s disdainful tone made it seem like Jackie did notthink much about him at all. It made Harold feel even more humiliated.
“You will pay the price! I’ll absolutely make you pay! You’ll wish you were dead!”
When Harold shouted those words, he did not bother controlling his volume at all. Harold was alreadycompletely irrational at that point.
In the past, although he was domineering and reckless, he still knew how to hold back. He would besomewhat careful with his words. Yet, at that point Harold had said words like making Jackie wish hewas dead. It was obvious how furious Harold was.
Jackie had already heard words like that too many times that he had grown numb to it. It did not work onJackie at all.
He looked up at Harold and mocked, “I’ve heard those words from I don’t know how many people at thispoint. It’s a pity that all of them are already dead…”
After that, a shout could be heard from the distance, “What’s with all the noise?! This is the Elder Hall,not some market for you to bicker in!”
The shout instantly silenced the whole hall. Everyone looked over toward the source of the noise andsaw a white-robed old man with an angry look on his face.
Jackie furrowed his eyebrows and immediately straightened his body. There was no need to introducethat person. Jackie could tell that it was Elder Eliot.
Chapter 2544It was said that Elder Eliot was incredibly strict. He never smiled at anyone and wouldberate anyone he was not happy with.
Harold’s face darkened slightly. Elder Eliot did not mention any names, but he knew very well that ElderEliot had been referring to him.
After all, he had lost control back then. Harold tried his best to compose himself before he rushed toElder Eliot and apologize sincerely, “Elder Eliot, please forgive me. I was just too angered by that kid justnow and lost control. I will definitely make sure it won’t happen again.”
Elder Eliot frowned before he looked at Harold meaningfully. After that, he looked at Jackie. Jackie wasincredibly quiet at that moment, and his face was calm as usual.
It was as if those words Harold had said earlier had nothing to do with him at all. Elder Eliot let out a coldlaugh as he narrowed his eyes and said, “Why did the two of you fight?”
Those words meant that Elder Eliot wanted to look further into the matter to see who was right. It causedJackie to be a little speechless.
Elder Eliot really was eccentric. He even wanted to interfere in the squabbles between students.Normally, elders would just ignore the situation if it did not go too far.
Harold happily replied, “You should be able to see that this kid is a newcomer. He’s been looking fortrouble ever since he came here. He’s also very arrogant. I only asked him a few questions when hestarted to insult me.”
Jackie pursed his lips, speechless. Harold really knew how to stir things up. He had
not even wanted to bother with Harold. Harold was the one who came looking for a fight. Yet, he made itseem like Jackie was the one who wanted a fight with him.
Elder Eliot frowned as he looked at Jackie somewhat unhappily. Graham took the opportunity to explaineven more.
“He’s a newcomer. He’s never even attended a single one of your classes. He doesn’t know a thingabout the test today, so he’s clearly here to look for a scolding. I tried to warn him out of kindness, buthe…”
He stopped after saying that, but he had an expression on his face like he had been wronged. Jackiehad to praise Harold’s acting skills.
Harold had been the one who was picking a fight, everyone present had seen that, but the guy made itseem like it was not the case at all. He only cared about his own act and ignored what everyone elsethought. Elder Eliot walked forward and said to Jackie, “It really is the first time I’ve seen you, do youadmit to Harold’s words?”
Even though Elder Eliot did not say what was on his mind, Jackie could see that Elder Eliot was alreadysomewhat on Harold’s side, and thought what Harold said was true.
Jackie said in exasperation, “Harold is full of lies and can’t be trusted. He’s trying to look for trouble withme because I refused to give him a task he insisted I give up to him in the task hall yesterday. That waswhere the conflict came from, and he’s refusing to let it go.”
Elder Eliot frowned when he heard that, not expecting the situation to get so complicated.
He had thought that he would be able to solve it with a few words.
Harold looked at Jackie furiously.
He had been about to speak when Jackie interrupted him.novelbin
Chapter 2545 “It’s true that I’ve never attended any of your classes, but that’s because I just arrived at Phoenix Valley.I’d naturally never had the time to attend your classes. I came because I heard there would be a rewardafter the test.”
Jackie was quick with his words. He did not want Elder Eliot to be fixated on the other matter anymore.After all, if they ended up arguing again, there would be no purpose. other than to waste time.
Harold’s actions had all been clearly remembered by Jackie. If he got the chance, he would make sureHarold knew the price of messing with him.
Elder Eliot raised an eyebrow as he looked at Jackie with interest, “So you came to the test for thereward?”
Jackie nodded fearlessly. When Rudy saw that, his lips started to twitch, not knowing
what to say.
With those words, everyone would definitely laugh at Jackie if Jackie failed. Yet, Jackie was incrediblyconfident, as if it would never happen.
Harold let out a cold laugh, “You really are confident. You’re just a newcomer. It’s the first time you’ve metElder Eliot. You don’t even know what the test will be about. You dare say you can get the reward? Whogave you the courage to brag like that?”
Jackie looked at Harold calmly and said, “I gave myself that courage. If you’re not convinced, how aboutwe make a five thousand spirit crystal bet?”
Jackie’s words suddenly caused the hall to erupt in discussions. They felt like Jackie was giving themmore and more excitement.
They had all thought that the kid was just incredibly rude and brash, but now it looked like Jackie wasoverconfident as well. Jackie
was so overconfident it rendered them speechless. He actually wanted to make a bet against Harold.
Harold’s lips twitched, “Do you know what you’re saying? You want to make a bet against me for fivethousand spirit crystals?”
Jackie nodded seriously. He needed spirit crystals so badly that he would take whatever he could get. IfHarold was so adamant about making things difficult for him, he would take full advantage of it.
Jackie had wanted to bet ten thousand spirit crystals, but he felt like Harold might have fallen back if heset the price too high, so he settled on five thousand spirit crystals.
Five thousand spirit crystals were already no small number to Jackie. The task he had earlier would givehim three thousand and nine hundred. Five thousand would be the equivalent of four Green Sun Pills.
Harold laughed as he looked at Jackie,
“You’re the most confident person I’ve ever met. Since you want to bet, I’ll do it!”
“There’s no point just talking about it. If you really want to make a bet against me, let’s sign a contract. Ifone side loses and doesn’t pay up, their souls will be ripped apart!”
There was no way to change the contract after signing it. Normally, fighters rarely signed contracts likethat. After all, it involved their own lives.
The reason Harold had mentioned it was because he thought that Jackie could not possibly win. ElderEliot frowned before slamming his palm into the desk.
“Shut up right now! Where do you think you are? You dare to talk about signing a soul contract? Itinvolves your very souls. I won’t let you do whatever you want to!”
