Chapter 2016
In fact, Jackie could not contain himself for long with the triangular-eyed man pestering him, right next to him. To everyone’s surprise, Jackie abruptly turned around and stared at the man with triangular eyes coldly. Sneering, he said, “I’ve always been a vengeful person, and you’d do well to remember my words.”

After he finished speaking, Jackie turned around and walked toward the battle arena in the middle. At this moment, Wesley was already standing at the east side of the battle area, and Jackie stood opposite him. The two of them looked at each other, one of them expressionless while the other looked contemptuous. Wesley looked at Jackie as if he was an idiot or a dummy, but Jackie’s expression remained passive for the most part.

It looked like no matter what expressions Wesley had on his face, it would not affect Jackie. The sound of people discussing what was happening beneath the stage was noisy enough to hurt people’s ears. After all, none of them expected things to develop until such a situation. A lot of busybodies started to send transmission runes to their friends who were not there to watch the battle so that they would not miss the great battle.

Both Brook and Noel stared at those two, staring at each other from a distance as they stood on the battle stage, with frowns on their faces. They had no idea what to say at that moment. After some time, Brook lowered his voice as he spoke to Noel, “Senior Brother Noel, do you think that Senior Brother Jackie has given up?”

Brook was incredibly wary at this point, and he did not feel that there was something wrong with what he said. Instead, he was hesitant as he felt that Wesley would surely defeat Jackie, and that particular scene was unimaginable to him.

Noel frowned and sighed softly before he spoke with a hint of uncertainty, “I have no idea, but I don’t think Jackie’s brain had malfunctioned or something.” In fact, he had no idea what he should say. Although he knew that Jackie was very talented in terms of the soul attribute, he had no idea which level was Jackie’s true strength at.

Jackie was only at the initial stage of innate level, but Wesley had already achieved the intermediate stage of innate level. From the fighting prowess alone, Wesley was one level ahead of Jackie. On top of that, Jackie had only joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion for a dozen days and had yet to be trained and groomed by the sect. How could he be Wesley’s opponent when he had his talents but not the resources?

He might not be able to defeat Wesley even if he was In the same realm as Wesley, let alone challenging Wesley at a lower level!

As they stood on the battle arena, Wesley could not help but sneered at Jackie’s seemingly expressionless face, commenting. “You’re a good actor, I’ll hand that to you. You still can be passive at a time like this. You have no idea what’ll happen to you, do you?”

Jackie raised his eyebrows. “Can you just get on with It? What’s the point of making these useless remarks?”

The informal disciples sitting at the audience seats were baffled upon hearing Jackie’s remark. His brain must have been filled with water, and the damage must have been detrimental. Why else would he say such a thing?

“Do you have any idea what you are talking about, young man?” jeered Wesley. “You’re challenging me from a lower level, and you’ve only joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion recently. Do you truly think that you can defeat me?!” Wesley laughed as he spoke.

Jackie nodded and actually replied level-headedly, “I wouldn’t be standing here if I wasn’t sure I can defeat you.”

Right after that, a suffocating silence appeared first before somebody snickered, and laughter filled the entire area. A large group of people broke out into laughter because of what Jackie said, looking at Jackie as though he was the biggest clown for thinking he could defeat Wesley. Did he not understand that he was only in the initial stage of innate level and did not have the support of powerful resources?

On what grounds did he think that he could defeat Wesley? Was it just because of the fact that he ranked first place during the admission assessment? That admission assessment was nothing to the Dual Sovereign Pavilion disciples who joined the sect through the usual admission tests, and many of them there could have done what Jackie did!

Wesley scoffed indignantly. “You truly are entertaining. The fact that I’m fighting with someone like you in the battle arena is an insult to me!”

Chapter 2017
After his warning, Wesley did not bother saying anything else as he pulled his three-feet-long sword from his storage ring, gripping it tightly by the hilt. He raised his right hand, and the sword was once again illuminated with a silver-like light. Everybody looked on as the specks of starlight gathered that became a small yet bright star within the sword’s silver-like light.

Fighting with Jackie did not require Wesley to use much strength. He formed two silver stars when he fought Dale, but he would only need one to blast Jackie away completely.

Jackie raised his eyebrows. When he was at the audience seats back then, he noticed Wesley using the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud, but standing right across Wesley, he could clearly feel the overwhelming strength of the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud. If he was a usual martial artist in the initial stage of the innate level, he would have lost his imposing momentum under such a strong suppression. It was possible that some with weaker fighting prowess would not be able to stand straight.

The Seven Stars Meteor Cloud was truly a Red-level intermediate martial skill. Jackie raised his eyebrow as he slowly took out a black dagger from the Mustard Seed. There was nothing special about this black dagger. It was only the length of his fingers and was not much different from Dale’s weapon apart from the color.

Jackie had been thinking about what weapon he should use before he went up the battle arena. Even after thinking it through, he still felt that the dagger was more suitable for him. Although daggers were more suitable for assassins, Destroying the Void was a soul attribute martial skill, and it seemed suitable for him to be an assassin.

It might have been because of how ordinary the dagger Jackie had looked without any formation or runes carved into it, but the gossip and murmurs below the stage amplified.
