Chapter 2161
Everyone was stunned by Jackie’s martial art technique. No matter how they used their divine senses to probe, they could not feel any energy fluctuations from the martial arts technique conjured up by Jackie.

After all, the more powerful martial arts technique, the greater the fluctuation of energy, but the grayblack daggers in Jackie’s hand were like black holes with no energy fluctuations.

At this time, the ten light blades were already within ten yards of Jackie. Emotionlessly, he pushed his hands forward, and the ten Soul Swords instantly collided with the ten light blades.

All everyone heard was a burst of bang, bang, bang, like cannonballs crashing against each other. An eye-piercing light briefly shrouded the two of them, and the next second Jackie already had his palms together.

After the light subsided, a three-foot-long giant Soul Sword shot out in the air toward Oliver. The others might not know it, but he knew that his ten light blades all instantly exploded into a light ball, and were extinguished after coming in contact with the gray-black energy.

What surprised him, even more, was that the ten Soul Swords remained unscathed. The ten Soul Swords converged into a giant Soul Sword after Jackie put his palms together, and in a blink of an eye, appeared in front of Oliver.

“Shit!’ thought Oliver. It would be the end of him if he was slashed by the giant Soul Sword. He desperately backed away. Fortunately, his Light Blade Lore not only increased his attack speed but also his own speed.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Jackie, who had no intention of letting him escape so easily. Jackie snorted, narrowed his eyes, and once again used the laws of space.

The giant Soul Sword, which was originally five yards away from Oliver, broke through the shackles of space and appeared instantly in front of him after Jackie used the law of space.

All the spectators’ eyes widened, and jaws dropped when they saw that. Jackie gritted his teeth; he knew that things would not end well for him if he killed Oliver. Originally, the giant Soul Sword was aimed at Oliver’s throat, but with a flick of his wrist, it changed its target to Oliver’s right shoulder. Immediately the sound of metal scraping against bones could be heard.

“Ahh!” Oliver’s scream broke through the clouds, making everyone gasp. He quickly staggered back, but lost his balance mid-way, and fell from the air to the ground with a heavy thud.

Tears began to flow out of the corner of Oliver’s eyes. He had always prided himself on having never cried from pain, but this time there was no forcing back his tears. He had never felt pain like this; it was as if his soul had been torn apart! His entire body was convulsing. He could not even breathe properly, let alone stand up.

Seeing this stunned everyone into silence, and for a long time, the only sound that could be heard was the screams of Oliver.

“Is this really happening? Did my eyes deceive me? Did Jackie just neutralize Oliver’s strongest attack with one move? What are those gray-black swords? How is it so powerful?”

“Brother Oliver actually lost! And to a newly recruited informal disciple at that! This kid…” The person could not continue on anymore.

Chapter 2162
The winner of the battle was obvious, but this result was unacceptable to everyone present. No one thought that Oliver would be defeated by Jackie. From the very beginning, everyone thought Oliver would be able to take down Jackie in one move or three at the most.

However, it turned out to be a long drawn-out battle. Oliver was still no match for Jackie even after casting his strongest attack. He had lost completely and was seriously injured.

He was still screaming and crying on the ground. It did not take much to imagine just how much pain he was in, for which martial artists would be willing to shed tears in front of others? One’s pride would never allow them to do such a thing.

“Jackie is just too strong! Can someone please enlighten me how he got this strong?” said someone in shock.

“I would like to know too! He would have no problem being ranked in the top five amongst the formal disciples!”

“No wonder he was so cocky before! Brother Oliver never stood a chance at all!”

Everyone’s evaluation of Jackie completely changed. Now it seemed like they were the clowns, not him!

Even till now, Jackie ignored them.

Wesley felt his legs turn into jelly and collapse to the ground. He stared helplessly at his big brother who was still rolling around in pain on the battle platform.

Out of everyone there, Wesley was the one who was most worked up. How could he remain calm when his own big brother was defeated by Jackie, who he had a grudge on since the day they knew each other’s existence.

His back was ramrod straight, but his expression was lost. Suddenly, he shook his head vigorously, as if wanting to wake himself up from this nightmare. “No, this is impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can Oliver lose to Jackie? I must be hallucinating! Yes, this must be a hallucination!”

His expression was frightening to look at. His face was ashen and pale at the same time as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. The man with the triangular eyes standing next to him was stunned speechless. He, too, nursed a grudge against Jackie. He thought by allying himself with Wesley, one day he would surely see Jackie meet a tragic end, but again and again, it was Jackie’s opponent who had tragic endings.

The man with the triangular eyes took a deep breath. At this time, he was not in the mood to comfort Wesley. His mouth twitched and said, “How is he so powerful? He wasn’t this powerful before!”

The rest of the informal disciples were shocked and did not know what to say as well. However, they were not as shocked as the formal disciples because they had prior knowledge of Jackie’s talent.

Still, it was a long time before they could compose themselves. It was impossible for Jackie to be this much stronger than he was previously. Could it be that he has been concealing his power all this time?

Chapter 2163
A month ago, it took Jackie all that he had to defeat Wesley, but now, he effortlessly defeated Oliver. Although Wesley and Oliver were brothers, there was a world of difference between their powers. After all, Oliver joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion a few years earlier than Wesley.

Then there was also the fact that Oliver was ranked eighth amongst the formal disciples while Wesley was not even in the top fifty of the informal disciples. It would take years before Wesley could even catch up to his big brother. That was why it was so shocking that Jackie was able to bridge the great gulf of power within a month!

“Jackie definitely hid his real power from us! There’s no way that he could have leveled up so much within a month!” said an informal disciple firmly.

“It must be so! After all, the gap in power between Oliver and Wesley is really too big. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. It was only a month ago that Jackie barely defeated Wesley, and now he defeated Oliver without even sweating much! This is not something that can be done within a month!” said the person next to him.

“In any case, Jackie is too strong! He’s so strong that I don’t even dare to dream about catching up to him! And he’s only at the intermediate stage of innate level whereas Oliver’s at the final stage of innate level!”
