No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto
Chapter 1051-1100
Chapter 1051
The next morning, a lot of people were gathered on the rooftop of a huge plaza located on the peak of a hill. Aside from the main family within the White family, a few other branches of the White family as well as some families attached to them had all come.
All of them never expected that Master White would hold this event to choose his successor, right after his only son had returned to the family.
“You’re becoming more and more daring now, Nash. You didn’t even bother to discuss such a big matter with me, and you went ahead and made the decision yourself. Do you hold no respect for me?”
On a gallery high above the square, Lily, who was seated next to Nash, rolled her eyes at her husband, huffing angrily.
“Heh. This was a last-minute decision. But as the head of the White family, I think I have some authority in this matter, especially since I’ve discussed it with plenty of elders already.”
Nash chuckled, speaking as though he was not the least bit angry.
“Hmph. I think you just don’t want Lance to become the successor. And you’ve been brainwashed by that vixen from the earthly realm. Are you thinking of surrendering the entire White family to the son you had with her?”
Lily harrumphed coldly and shot Nash a glare.
“Why are you still hung up over something that happened ages ago, Lily? Besides, I didn’t do anything that grieved you, right, besides that one thing? If you can accept Lizzie, why can’t you accept Joan and jackie? Can’t we just live together happily as one family?”
Nash frowned and stared at the woman before him. He realized that Lily had changed so much—she was not the woman he used to know. Back then, she was outspoken and abrasive and prevented Joan from marrying into the White family, but she would never hire hitmen to kill jackie and the others.
“Heh. Joan is a woman from the mortal realm. She’s not even a Chi practitioner-in-training. How can you tell me to accept her? Anyone who doesn’t know how to manipulate Chi is beneath us. I don’t want people talking behind your back, badmouthing you because you married a woman like that!
“Let’s say you married her and she gave you a son—would he have innate talent? Will he be as pure bred and as esteemed as us?”
Since Nash refused to spare her reputation, Lily did not hold back in demolishing him either. She stood up and spoke loudly.
“Hmph. jackie can give us a run for our money if I say so!”
Nash harrumphed coldly. He coughed after he said this. It was evident that his body was still weak.
“Him? Give us a run for our money? That brat is definitely a lot worse than my son. You’ll find out for yourself in a while!”
Lily sat down and spoke flippantly, “I’m telling you, Nash White, that Lance isn’t dead. He’s still alive. It doesn’t matter if you choose to hold this competition or whatnot, I’ll never acknowledge the winner of this heir selection. My son is the true successor, and he’s the one most suited for the role!”
“Whatever you say!”
Lily was refusing to budge, and Joan remained silent at the side. Nash unleashed his temper and said in a cold tone, “It doesn’t matter if you acknowledge this competition or not. All the members of the White family recognize it for what it is, and the elders all think that this is the fairest way to move forward. That itself is enough for me!”
After he said that, he cast his attention to a middle-aged woman who was garbed in a red dress. He nodded his head. “Let us begin!”
Chapter 1052
The Fourth Elder, clad in a red dress, was a beautiful woman of around forty years old. Despite being forty, her skin was still smooth and radiant, and she was extremely beautiful!
Chi practitioners had their bodies maintained by chi, and the aura surrounding them was out of the ordinary. Furthermore, they age slower than regular people. That was why a woman like that would immediately enamor plenty of men from the mortal realm if they saw her.
She leaped and drifted toward the fighting stage in the middle. “I am the Fourth Elder, Wendy,” she announced to everyone. “I was fairly late in joining the White family, and I am neither a member of the White nor Lagorio family. That’s why I think it’s only appropriate that I host this competition!”
Many of the elders could not help but smile when they heard this. It was true that if anyone else were chosen as the host, it was likely that they would be beating around the bush all day.
Although Wendy was an elder of the White family, she was not born into the family nor the Lagorio family. Nobody could speak against her if that was the case.
“As you can see, there are ten fighting stages set up here. The one on my far left is the first stage, counting all the way up to the tenth to my far right!”
Wendy gave a small smile and introduced everything, “There are a total of 230 people participating in this competition. And they’re all the younger members of the White family…”
“So many people!”
After he heard that, jackie could not help but be astonished. The younger generation had plenty of guts to come forth and participate in this competition. It was evident that they were grandmasters, at the very least. He still never expected there to be so many people.
Furthermore, all these people definitely descended from the main family, and this number did not include people from the White family’s branches as well as other families who answered to the White family.
The White family was truly an illustrious family that deserved its position as one of the Eight Shadow Families!
“The first competition is easy enough. We want to elect the top hundred candidates from it!”
Master Wendy smiled. “The rules are simple. If you’re pushed off the fighting stage, you’re out. We’ll do this melee until only a hundred people are left on the stage, and these hundred will move on to the next round!”
“What! It’s a melee!”
Some people were surprised when they heard this.
“Heh. There’s some element of luck to this round. Even if an individual is not very strong, they’ll still advance to the next round with a bit of luck and some determination!”
An old man could not help but smile.
“That’s right. There’s also the possibility of joining forces to kick someone stronger out, no?”
Another middle-aged man smiled as he spoke.
“Hah. This should be interesting. Luck is also a type of strength. It’ll be fun to see how this plays out!”
Someone’s lips curved into an amused smile.
“You’re still smiling? Your son may be at the beginning stage of the true god status. He is pretty strong, and he could have easily entered the top hundred, but what if his luck is so bad that he runs into someone else of his status or an advanced practitioner of the true god status? Heh. Then your son would be eliminated first. Wouldn’t that be too bad for him?”
The old man beside him could not help but say.
“No worries about that. The fun side of this competition is the participation! It doesn’t matter even if my son doesn’t emerge as the champion and clinch the title of the heir!”
The man from earlier smiled.
On the stage, Wendy was waiting for everyone to quiet down before speaking. “All right, all participants, please come to Stage Number One!”
In a flash, plenty of people leaped onto fighting stage number one.
Everyone exchanged looks between each other, every single one of them ready to wage war.
Chapter 1053
Some people who knew each other quite well clustered together, preparing to watch each other’s backs.
“This is a good chance. Let’s get that adopted son-in-law first. Hah. He’ll know the cruelty of the world once he’s eliminated in the first round!”
One of the participants from the White family looked at jackie from a distance, a hint of a smile on his lips.
He was a ninth-grade grandmaster. He was one of the top fighters among the younger generation of the White family.
After all, he would be considered as an eight or nine-star King of War outside, with his fighting prowess.
As he spoke, he set foot to go over to jackie’s side.
However, he only closed half of the distance when he stopped, shock painted all over his expression.
The two beauties of the White family, Beth, and Yule, were actually walking over to jackie.
“No way. Those two masters are going to help get rid of jackie? Seems like plenty of people are targeting him already. Heh! He sure has a big fat target on his back. Everybody wants to get rid of him first!”
The man flashed a bitter smile. it seemed that there were plenty of people who were thinking along his lines. He did not have to go over then. If he did, he might be eliminated by the two beautiful masters instead.
“Hah. Seems that jackie is in bad luck today. I wanted to go over and eliminate him first—tell him that he’s not good enough to become the heir to the White family. Never thought that someone would beat me to it!”
Martin burst out in laughter as he watched this from a distance.
“Heh. It’s obvious that he’s going to be eliminated soon. He’ll be the laughing stock of the century. Hah!”
Plenty of participants from the White family also stared at jackie, cold smiles on their lips.
“All right, since everyone is here, let the first round officially commence!”
The Fourth Elder smiled and flagged off the start of the competition.
“Hah. Get your a** off here!”
Some people had already set their eyes on their opponents. They all rushed toward various people once Wendy’s voice rang out.
The cacophony of various brawls immediately exploded at stage one. The fighting grew fiercer with every passing second.
A second-grade grandmaster was punched off the stage by a fifth-grade grandmaster.
“Ah. I’m no good. I can’t even get into the top hundred!”
The second-grade grandmaster immediately heaved a sigh and shook his head forlornly.
“Who are the two of you?”
jackie’s lips twisted into a bitter smile as he saw the two beauties before him. He did not know why they came to him.
“I’m here to protect you. But I’ve no idea why Yule is here!”
Beth said with a smile.
Chapter 1054
Beth folded her arms after she finished speaking, glancing toward Yule with a slight smile on her face.
Yule did not know whether to laugh or cry. She shrugged her shoulders. “I never thought that you would think the same as I did, Beth,” she said.
She paused here and looked at jackie before continuing, “I had no choice. This punk is my older brother, unfortunately. It’ll be embarrassing if he were to lose terribly and become the butt of everyone’s joke. Besides, my mother told me to take care of him. I have to think of some ways to prevent him from losing the first round. We’d never live it down otherwise!”
jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the conversation between them. Still, warmth tinged his insides; these two young ladies were trying to look out for him.
In a split second, over 30 people had been shoved off the stage.
“Strange. Why aren’t those two liftings a finger?”
Someone realized that something was off. He could not help but mutter after he managed to get rid of an opponent.
“Nash White!”
In the viewing gallery, Lily’s expression had darkened. “You actually told those two to protect jackie? Heh. I never thought that you would resort to such dirty tactics for the sake of your son.”
Nash had been watching everything unfold on the fighting stage as well. “Heh. I didn’t arrange for this. I never thought that they would help jackie either,” he said, a bitter smile on his face. “Or perhaps they wanted to help him because they thought that he was a pretty good man!”
The corners of the Third Elder’s lips twitched when he heard that. “Heh. Shouldn’t you have thought of a better excuse, Master?” he said, expression stony. “Beth and Yule have only known jackie for a short time. How could they help him on their own accord? But it doesn’t matter, since he’ll be eliminated in the second round. He’ll just lose less shamefully!”
“How interesting, Beth, Yule. You’re…actually helping the live-in son-in-law?”
At this moment, a man could not stand the sight any longer. He threw an opponent off the stage and stomped his foot, streaking straight before the trio. He spoke with a cold smile.
“Heh. We’re not going against the rules, Lionel, are we? You can fight us if you’re not pleased with anything!”
Beth folded her arms before her chest. “You, an eighth-grade grandmaster, are thinking of eliminating the two of us?” she said haughtily.
A muscle worked in his jaw. A cloud suddenly fell over his face.
However, he quickly reined in his anger. “Are you a true man, you punk? Hiding behind these two women’s backs. Some hero you are,” he said, looking at jackie. “Fight me if you have the guts. Stop hiding behind other people like some ostrich!”
“Heh, jackie won’t fall for your trap. He’s not an idiot. He’ll never be roused by your provocation.”
Yule folded her arms across her chest and spoke without hesitation, lips curved into a frosty smile.
That smile instantly disappeared after she said that—because jackie was actually slowly walking forward until he became before her and Beth.
“Heh. You do have a point. As a man, I shouldn’t hide behind others.”
jackie came before the man and stared at him, smirking.
“He’s provoking you, jackie. Can’t you tell? He can’t beat us, so he wants to lure you out to eliminate you!”
Yule began to panic. “You are the Master’s son,” she whispered to jackie. “Plenty of people will take you for a joke if you’re eliminated during the first round!”
“That’s right, jackie. Listen to your little sister. I think she’s right too. I want to help you because of this!”
Chapter 1055
Beth also tried to convince jackie.
The two of them were fighters who had attained the true god status. Regular participants did not dare to seek trouble with either one of them.
After all, there were not many fighters like them among the younger generation.
“Hah. You’ve got guts!”
Lionel also never expected jackie to fall for it. He flashed a thumbs up. “Don’t worry, you’ll be respected even if you lose to me. At least you’re not a wimp who hides behind women’s backs!”
“Heh. I don’t have the right to even touch the Cryo Pearl if I can’t beat you.”
No one expected jackie to speak with such a grudging tone, a wan smile on his face.
“Oh my. You’re aiming for the treasure? So you want to be the champion!”
Lionel smiled; his gaze hardened. “You’re all bark and no bite!”
“Cut the crap. There’ll only be a hundred people left on this stage very soon if I don’t throw you out!”
jackie took a step forward and curled his fingers mockingly.
Lionel stomped his foot and came before jackie, directing a punch at the latter.
He was fast, and his attack was ferocious. It was evident that he was not holding back.
“Heh. Seems like your son isn’t listening to your orders, Nash. I think Lionel will be the one to eliminate him!”
Lily smirked as she observed what was happening on the fighting stage. She knew that jackie had been provoked by Lionel’s words to come forward and fight.
Yet the very next second, Lily’s expression crumpled.
jackie did not dodge Lionel’s blow at all, raising his fist instead to meet his opponent’s.
Lionel, the eighth-grade grandmaster, was actually flung backward from the impact, landing heavily below the stage. He spat a mouthful of blood, and his cheeks were leached out of color.
“What! That punk…is of a true god status?”
Lionel was shocked that he had been eliminated. Disbelief filled his eyes. He never thought that a brat from the mortal realm would actually be so frighteningly strong. The force behind jackie’s punch made him feel like there would have been no way to counter it.
“Heh. My apologies, dear, but jackie is not as weak as you think he is!”
Nash nodded his head in approval, speaking to Lily.
The corners of Lily’s lips twitched. “He’s not bad, but he’s far below the likes of my son,” she said. “My son isn’t here today, but if he were, he would be crowned champion!”
Chapter 1056
“No way. Lionel actually got thrown back by that punk with just a single punch, and he’s an eighth-grade grandmaster. This means that the punk is at least a ninth-grade grandmaster!”
Plenty of contestants had been observing this as well. All of them were stunned when they saw the scene unfolding. They never imagined for that easy target to actually be that strong.
“He’s not as weak as we think he is!”
Hudson also saw this, and he looked slightly ill.
He clenched his fists and stalked toward jackie. “Looks like I’ll have to deal with you myself!”
Hudson’s veins flooded with evil intent. He had not meant to eliminate jackie, but instead kill him right off. Lily had told him about this privately. He was to say that he had accidentally killed jackie, and Lily would do everything in her power to protect him.
Besides, he would be granted plenty of rewards after.
“Really? Let’s see if you’ve got the skills to back those words!”
jackie was stunned. He looked at Hudson, grinning, as though he was not worried at all.
“ jackie, Hudson is at the advanced stage of the demi-god status. Even I may not be a match for him! He has a chance to become the champion!”
Beth frowned and walked over, stepping before jackie.
“And so ends the first round!”
Yet no one expected Wendy’s voice to ring out at this moment.
“It’s over?”
Yule was stunned for a second, then she smiled. “That’s great. Now there are only a hundred people left on this fighting stage, Hudson. You can’t lift a finger now that the first round is over!”
The corners of Hudson’s mouth twitched violently. He scanned the people on the stage; including the four of them, there were indeed a hundred people left.
He clenched his fists and glared at jackie. “You were lucky today, punk. I never thought that so many people would be eliminated so fast. Heh. You would have been thrown out otherwise!”
“I think you’re the lucky one. Otherwise, a master at the advanced stage of a true god status eliminated in the first round? How embarrassing would that be for you!”
jackie shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
“Hah. You’re pretty good at boasting, punk. Just pray that you don’t meet me in the next round. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a good lesson on what it means to be weak!”
Hudson said, laughing.
“All right. The first round is over. To all who have advanced to the next round, please exit the stage!”
The Fourth Elder spoke at this moment.
The victorious candidates all leaped down and stood to the side.
“We will now commence with the second round. It will not be a melee competition, but a one-on-one battle!”
Wendy announced in a clear voice as she stood on the fighting stage, “The matches will be drawn via lottery. We have a hundred cards, with numbers from one to fifty written on them. For every number, there will be a pair. The one who draws the same number as you do will be your opponent!”
While Wendy was speaking, two workers carried trays over, with cards splayed over them.
jackie simply picked a card with the number ’21’ written on it. It seemed that his opponent would be the person holding the other card with the number ’21’ on it.
“All right. Has everybody gotten their number?”
Chapter 1057
After a while, Wendy added, “Participants who drew numbers one to ten, please take the fighting stages accordingly. For example, those who drew the card with number one will go to stage number 1. After all ten pairs have finished their battle, I will call upon those who have drawn up until the number twenty!”
After she thought about it, she said, “The rules for this round are simple. You cannot kill your opponent, and you win by getting your opponent off the stage. Of course, you’ll automatically win if your opponent surrenders!”
After Wendy finished announcing the rules for this round, the contestants who took the number one to ten flew up to their respective stages.
Evidently, the competitors who emerged victorious in this second round would be able to become the top 50 contestants, and then they would be guaranteed a prize already.
“Hah. You’ve got some luck to run into me!”
On one of the fighting stages, a seventh-grade grandmaster was paired with a fourth-grade grandmaster. The former could not help but grin.
Since the first round was a melee, there were a few people who were not very strong that managed to hold on to the very end as they got lucky.
This seventh-grade grandmaster was considered an average fighter. After all, the people who won were all pretty strong—and that was why he was afraid that he would run into master of true god status.
He never thought that his luck was in his favor. He actually got a fourth-grade grandmaster as his opponent. Excitement flooded through his veins.
The fourth-grade grandmaster flashed a bitter smile. “I did not have hope anyway unless I was paired with the other fourth-grade grandmaster here!”
After he said that, he actually jumped off the stage. “I surrender!”
“I–I won?”
The seventh-grade grandmaster was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled.
“Jeez. That fellow is so lucky. He advanced to the next round just like that!”
Someone was extremely envious when he saw this.
However, the people on the other nine fighting stages were not so lucky. The opponents they had were about the same level as they were, and naturally, they would not give in without a fight. They threw themselves at each other, and the frightening cacophony of skirmishes filled the air.
“The fighting skills of this family are pretty good!”
jackie was astounded by the sight as he peered down from the audience stand. He could tell that these masters from the White family spent plenty of time honing their martial skills, and all of them were stronger than regular fighters.
Soon enough, the first batch of contestants was done. The people who had won were all elated and quickly went to claim their prizes first. The losers left dejectedly, their heads hung low as they joined the crowd to watch the rest of the competition.
Of course, there were some who had sustained more serious injuries. They could only sit at the side, take a few healing pills, and have a good rest.
The second group of people quickly went up as well.
“Hey, what number did you get?”
Unexpectedly, Yule tapped jackie’s shoulder from behind at this moment.
jackie turned his head, surprised. “Why did you ask that, Yule?”
“Can’t I ask? I just want to know when it’ll be your turn!”
Yule replied, a sweet smile on her face.
“Oh, it’ll be my turn soon!”
jackie smiled. “You’ll soon find out what number I drew!” he said.
Chapter 1058
Just as jackie finished his last syllabus, the Fourth Elder—Wendy Wind—had already flitted back onto the stage of the tournament once again.
She plastered a gentle smile and spilled, “Very well. Let’s invite participants from number 21 to number 30 to the stage!”
“Hehe! Brother jackie, it’s my turn to go up!”
Yule giggled warmly and strode toward the stage. She stomped on her right foot, leaped upward to the air, and landed on the stage. All these happened within a few seconds.
jackie stared at Yule who was already on the stage, then he looked down at the tiny piece of paper in his hand. The number on the paper made him completely dumbfounded.
“No way! How could it be her? What should I do now?”
jackie did not know whether to cry or to laugh. How could he have imagined that Yule would be his opponent? What a coincidence!
The other competitors jumped onto the stage of the tournament, and some of them glided onto the stage.
“Where’s my opponent?”
Yule frowned with a puzzled look. Her opponent had not come up to the stage yet.
Soon, her puzzled look was replaced with speechlessness. jackie stepped out of the crowd, then with a gentle stomp, he appeared in front of Yule in the next second.
“No freaking way! Brother jackie, you’re my opponent?”
Yule’s eyes went wide, and her jaw dropped to the ground when she saw that jackie stood before her. She could not believe her own eyes. Did she see wrongly? Was the person in front of her jackie? Too much of a coincidence!
“What the h*ll?”
The crowd gasped at the arrangement on the stage. Each of them had a strange look on their faces.
“The illegitimate trash of Nash White will fight against his own daughter. Heh! It’s interesting, isn’t it? Doesn’t this mean that the Brother will be competing against the Sister?”
Some people laughed sarcastically. They had never expected to witness such an episode today.
“Hahaha! That b*stard, I don’t think he is his sister’s opponent. Although Yule White is young, she is talented and a master! She’s only 17 or 18 years old but she has already reached the middle stage of a demi god status. Such martial skill and fighting prowess are similar to those so-called Gods of War. That illegitimate jackie is obviously not her opponent!”
Another person giggled with a playful tone. “I’m afraid that this time the Brother is going to lose to his sister!”
“What is this? Nash, don’t tell me you’ve arranged this? Heh! You’re quite smart, aren’t you? You actually make your daughter compete against your son in the second round. What a trick!”
Lily was stunned at the scene. She then said with a face of contempt, “I didn’t see that coming, and clearly didn’t expect such a dirty trick from the Head of the White family! You made this arrangement on purpose so that your son would win the tournament, am I right? Don’t you feel ashamed at all!”
“Dirty trick? What trick did I use?”
Nash’s face went dull and then reprimanded, “Lily, don’t talk bullsh*t if you have no evidence!”
“Oh? Do you think I don’t know what you were doing? In the first round, you had Yule and Beth protect your lovely son, so that he could enter the second round!”
Chapter 1059
Lily sneered coldly. “I didn’t expect you to pull such a trick in the second round. You must have used some dirty tricks to mark the cards during the card drawing session so that your dear son would face your daughter in this round! The next step is even simpler, you’ll just have to ask your daughter to lose to jackie deliberately for jackie to enter the next round, are my guesses correct? Then he can eventually get into the top 50, am I right?”
“I…”
Anger instantly welled up in his chest when Nash heard Lily’s claim. He never expected Lily to see him that way. He coughed harshly then only managed to spill some words out. “I didn’t!”
“Hmph! You didn’t? If you didn’t plan it, how can there be such a coincidence? Anyhow, I’d still want to see what’s up your sleeve next! How will you make your son the champion of this tournament!”
Lily snorted cold-heartedly and her face had become more and more unsightly.
“Madam, Nash didn’t do this, it’s really coincidental. You’ve known Nash for so many years, you know he is not that kind of person. He has always done things openly and honestly!”
Lizzie—who was standing aside—could not stand watching both of them argue, so she intervened to help Nash.
“Lizzie, just mind your own business, will ya? Is it because you think jackie is back with the White family and there’s a high chance for him to be the heir? Are you trying to befriend him so that he’ll take your side in the future? Hahaha! Don’t think that I don’t know what your little, tiny brain is plotting!”
Lily hissed unceremoniously. She did not see that coming. Lizzie, who had never been a talker nor an arguer dared to stand up and speak for Nash this time.
“Mrs. White, no, I—I’ve never thought of it that way. We’re a family, we shouldn’t fight. This round of the tournament must be coincidental…”
Lizzie had never wished to stir up trouble, though she disliked Lily in her heart quietly. Lily was a rather forceful and quick-tempered woman. This was why Lizzie had always shut her mouth up and even rarely stepped out of the house, hoping to live a quiet and peaceful life.
“Hmph! We’ll know soon if it’s staged or coincidental! Yule is already at the middle stage of the demi-god level. Hence if she loses to jackie this round, it must be on purpose! After all, we’re all martial artists with good eyesight; we definitely know which move is being done on purpose!”
Lily hummed frostily and left her last sentence.
Nash was deep in thoughts about Lily’s claim. He then wheeled his head, facing the First Elder, and asked in a careful tone, “First Elder, did you…did you arrange all this?”
Indeed, this seemed a little bit too coincidental for him to comprehend. He now had somewhat suspected that there could really be someone plotting this without him knowing.
The First Elder was rendered speechless for a few seconds and then replied in a calm voice, “Master White, it’s not like you don’t know what kind of person I am. How could it be possible for me to arrange all this?”
“Alright! Since you’ve said so, I trust you! That’s fine.”
Nash bobbed his head with a bitter smile hanging on his tired face.
At this moment, the tournament has already started. The other nine candidates had started fighting each other, except for Yule and jackie.
Yule and jackie were at stage number one; they were looking at each other with an awkward look plastered on their face.
“Brother jackie, I can’t believe that you’re my opponent! Sigh! I heard that you’re very talented. Well. Let me test that hearsay out!”
Yule halted to ponder for a few seconds, she then clenched her fist and said, “If you can’t even defeat me, you’d never get first place. After all, Sister Beth is a lot stronger than me! She’s already at the late stage of the demi-god level. Not to mention that Hudson and Martin have both signed up for this tournament; they’re both at the late stage of the demi-god realm as well. There’s a lot of others who are stronger than me. Therefore, even if I let you win on purpose this time, it’d be in vain!”
Few seconds of silence brushed through the air, Yule then continued, “But, well, even though my martial art status is not as high as theirs, I’m a powerful fighter with stronger determination compared to them. So, I actually have a little hope in winning them.” Yule felt proud of herself. “Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the Cryo Pearl. I’ve discussed this with Beth. The two of us, no matter who wins the first place, when the time comes, we’ll give you the Cryo Pearl!”
jackie suddenly felt a flicker of warmth inside his heart when he heard Yule’s words. “Thank you for your kindness. But, I better get first place, so that it’d be certain that I’ll get the Cryo Pearl!”
Chapter 1060
“You get the first place? Are you serious? Do you know that I’m already at the intermediate stage of the demi-god level?”
Yule was puzzled at jackie’s exaggeration, wondering if she had heard him wrong. She was relatively young among the younger generation in the White family, and to be at such a level, she was considered a master among masters!
How could jackie be so confident with his own ability? Could it be that his martial art status and fighting prowess were even higher than hers?
“I know your martial art status, so I will hold back a little. After all, you’re my sister; I won’t hurt you!”
jackie gave Yule a faint smile. Though the smile was faint, it was radiant and sunny.
He could see that Yule was a kind-hearted person, although she might have been spoiled since young and had always carried a frightening yet noble aura, she was a young woman with a pure and simple heart.
“Hehe! Not bad at all! You take care of your sister!”
Yule returned with a wide and amiable grin. Near the corner of her mouth appeared a cute dimple.
After teasing jackie, Yule balled her fist firmly, stomped on her feet. She leaped toward jackie, yelling, “Brother jackie, I hope you won’t let me down!”
Just as Yule’s words fell, she had come before jackie. Her speed was not as fast as lighting, but rather like a phantom that no one was able to catch a sight of. Less than a second, she was right in front of jackie.
jackie clenched his fist as well when he saw Yule blasting toward him with a firmly balled fist.
The seemingly ordinary clash of fists between two humans emitted a terrifying loud bang and cast a powerful and forceful circular wave outward to the audience.
“What the!”
The radiant smile that was on Yule’s pretty face a moment ago soon faded into the thin air. What was soon dawned upon her face was shock and puzzlement.
The strength and power that erupted from jackie’s body were clearly way stronger than hers. Based on the strength she had felt from him, this man before him should at least be at the late stage of the demi-god level. Moreover, he seemed to belong to the top-notch category in the late stage of the demi-god level.
With Yule’s round and astonishment-filled eyes, she was blown away by the force and flew two to three meters backward before she stomped on the ground, halting, and stabilizing herself.
This was the first clash between the two, and to everyone’s surprise, it was jackie who had the upper hand.
“My God! Did you see that? That punk jackie had actually blasted Yule, the little master, away?”
In the stands, the crowd could not help but gasp aloud at the scene before them. They initially thought that jackie would soon be eliminated within seconds. They truly did not expect him to be so strong.
At this time, most of the battles on the other stages had already ended. Some were eliminated and some advanced into the next round. All of them were paying attention to the situation on the other stages.
And when they witnessed the clash between Yule and jackie, confusion and astonishment were written on their face. After all, Yule’s combat prowess was already at the demi-god level; how could an adopted son-in-law who had just returned from the secular world be stronger than her?
“That’s freaking awesome! Master White, Young Master jackie is so awesome, isn’t he? Haha! He is more powerful than I expected!”
In the viewing stand, Butler Titus’s eyes were immediately lit up as though he had seen something wonderful. “If jackie could win the first place and become the heir to the family head. We finally have a successor for the White!” Titus chortled warmly.
Nevertheless, just as he finished his words, he could feel a pair of burning eyes staring at him with malice and hatred.
If this gaze could kill, he had no doubt that he would have died a million times over.
A wave of fury crashed through Lily that she was almost choking on her rage. She glared at Titus with eyes full of hatred, and then she barked, “What do you mean by ‘finally have a successor for the White’? Is my son not a member of the White family? Isn’t he the son of Nash White? I watched the battle with my own naked eyes, and it was so fake! It was obvious that Yule went easy on that punk! You all must have discussed the strategy before the tournament started! Otherwise, it’s impossible for that punk to perform that way!”
