Chapter 1966
jackieie was not a person who muddled along. If he let things go when Warren spent so much effort to
go against him, what was the difference between him and a useless person?
He had to make Warren pay dearly since Warren dared to take action against him in such an
unscrupulous manner. Just as jackieie was thinking of how he could get back at Warren, there was an
abrupt knock on his door.
jackieie quickly asked Nash to enter the Mustard Seed before tidying his clothes and opening the door.
Standing outside was, in fact, Ambrose.
As the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s deacon, Ambrose was normally burdened by odd errands. He would
not come to jackieie if nothing had happened. On top of that, Ambrose had a smile on his face and
seemed to be in quite a good mood.
Before jackieie was able to ask about it, Ambrose started, “You don’t need to invite me in; I’m just here
to inform you about some things. Just now, Elder Lee personally investigated the grudge between you
and Zeph. Zeph is currently detained in the elder council, awaiting his sentencing.”
jackieie relaxed when he heard this. Although Ambrose did not tell him the findings of their
investigation, he knew that they had a thorough investigation regarding what happened between them
and did not wrong him.

Ambrose then continued, “I had never imagined that Zeph would be such a shallow person. He was
bought over with just five hundred spirited crystals. This matter had touched the bottom line of the sect.
It’s a big issue for a person to misuse their position to fulfill their personal desire. Elder Lee had
personally ordered for him to be relieved of his position today.”
In fact, there were one or two similar cases in every sect with regards to what Zeph did. If jackieie was
just a usual participant in the assessment, it was not a big issue for somebody to misuse their position
and power. Most of the time, the sect would turn a blind eye from this. However, this was not a simple
matter. jackieie could be considered a master with his talents. If Zeph managed to pull off what he did,
it would mean that the Dual Sovereign Pavilion had lost a master.
If they considered the matter from this point of view, this was no small matter, and it was enough to get
the attention of those with a higher position. Ambrose was naturally happy that Zeph could not cause
any more issues.
After all, the two of them did not like one another and had caused trouble for each other. Ambrose
wished for Zeph to be hung tomorrow. That was why Ambrose had gotten happier when he looked at
jackieie, wanting to call him his brother so badly.

On top of that, jackieie would definitely get an important position in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion with his
talents.
“This issue happened because of a problem that happened with the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s
management team. I’m sorry that you have to suffer such grievance. Hence, Elder Lee purposely gave
you those five hundred spirited crystals to compensate for the inconvenience.” Ambrose took out a box
that contained 500 lower-grade spirited crystals after he reached into the space ring.
“I have something else to attend to now. I’m just here to tell you this, apart from sending you the
spirited crystals. Well, that is all. I’ll be leaving now.” It seems like Ambrose truly had taken some time
off to do this. In fact, he could have ordered his subordinate to do this errand of telling jackieie some
news and delivering the spirited crystals. However, Ambrose was delighted to share this news with
jackieie, which was why he personally delivered the crystals.
jackieie nodded and thanked Ambrose before he placed the spirited crystals into his Mustard Seed.
The Mustard Seed was not only a means of transportation, but it was also a large storage unit. It was
several times bigger than usual space rings.
At this moment, many of the informal disciples who joined the sect were standing outside. These
disciples had just joined the sect, and they, of course, did not want to remain in the sect all the time.
They came out to enjoy some fresh air and conversations about how they should train later.
The Dual Sovereign Pavilion had a free range policy when it came to training their disciples. They were
allowed to do anything they wanted as long as they had sufficient contribution points. It did not matter If
they visited the Martial Art Techniques and Martial Skills Hall to choose martial art techniques or martial
skills. They could also visit the Wooden Spirit Hall or other places!
With this, they overheard Ambrose and jackieie’s conversation. Many of these people looked at jackieie
enviously, but jackieie merely ignored them, not wanting to entertain them.
Chapter 1967
Just as jackieie turned and was about to close the door, he heard someone calling out, albeit rather
mean spiritedly, “You’re jackieie?”
Although this was a question, it seemed to be more like a jeer. jackieie slowly turned around and saw a
man with a short beard and a scary look in his eyes, standing not too far away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdvertisement
While jackieie did not recognize this man, he wore clothes that indicated that he was an informal
disciple. This man must be an informal disciple who joined the sect via the usual recruitment process.
According to seniority, they should call him their senior brother.
Nonetheless, jackieie could not address the man as such, seeing as he obviously did not come bearing
kind intentions. In fact, jackieie would have ignored him based on his temperament. jackieie was new
here and did not want to seem impolite.
He only nodded as he responded. Wesley Sayer gave jackieie a glance-over before he looked at the
individual house behind jackieie, his eyes gleaming with envy when he did.
“I don’t know how the sect decides things. There are only thirty private accommodations, and they
actually gave it to cannon fodder like you!”
Not only jackieie, but even the disciples who just joined the sect surrounding them also realized that
something was wrong with Wesley’s words. What did he mean, cannon fodder like him?
Frowning, jackieie asked, “What do you mean? We’re both informal disciples. What do you mean by
cannon fodder?”
Wesley sneered and a disdainful look appeared in his eyes. He took a glance at all the newly joined
disciples and crassly spoke, “I’m saying that you’re cannon fodder. Don’t you know how you were
recruited? How is it possible for them to only put an obsidian as the assessment tool during usual
recruitment? You guys are recruited to make up the numbers. Are you guys really thinking of yourself
as informal disciples of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion? Let me tell you: none of you are qualified to think
so.
“When we accepted the assessment back then, we had to go through the assessment alone three
times, and we’d be eliminated if we failed any one of those assessments. It isn’t as easy as the
assessment you guys had. If the fight between sects weren’t happening soon, do you think you’ll be
able to join the sect?”
Frankly, Wesley was correct. The Dual Sovereign Pavilion recruited disciples once every two years, but
due to the possibility of a battle with the Muddled Origin Clan happening anytime soon and they wanted
to expand their reserve army, they altered the period from two years to three months.
However, all the new disciples present were especially confident with their strength. What Wesley said
was no different from slapping everybody in their faces several times. Many of them were so angry that
their faces turned purple as they glared at him angrily.
Wesley sneered disdainfully and looked at the new disciples like they were bedbugs. “Are you guys
unconvinced? If you’re that unsure, let’s go have a fight at the wager battle arena. All this crap talk isn’t
as simple as a real battle. I’m sure all of you don’t really think that your strength is the best among all
the informal disciples, do you?”
Wesley truly was too far up in his head. Although he was an informal disciple recruited under normal
circumstances, this did not mean that he was superior over everyone else in that place.
Some of them could not help but speak loudly, “We had just become informal disciples, and it’s natural
for us to be not as strong as you who had trained in the sect for a long period. However, there are also
masters among us! jackieie is the strongest among us. Elder Lee once said that his strength places him
at the top three hundred among the informal disciples!”
Wesley glanced at jackieie and spoke loudly after he heard this, “That’s just a general assumption by
Elder Lee. However, my strength has been verified, and I’m in the top two-hundred!”
Chapter 1968
Everybody quieted down after they heard what Wesley said. Although there were around 3000 informal
disciples, the top 300 were a large number of people. Compared to the 3000 disciples, the top 300 was
just one-tenth of the total number of people, but it was still a large number of people.
Sure, Elder Lee ascertained that jackieie should be in the top 300 among the informal disciples, but
Wesley had a point-that was just Elder Lee’s deduction. As for Wesley, he had proven that he was top
200 among the informal disciples through his strength.
It was not surprising for Wesley to be so pompous as he could, in fact, walk the talk. Of course, he was
able to defeat the newly recruited informal disciples with his strength. Many people had been unable to
voice out their objections by the fact that he was among the top 200.
However, there were still people who were not afraid of power and yelled at Wesley loudly, “You can’t
say that. You’ve been an informal disciple for a period of time. After such a long time of training and
grooming, it’s normal for you to be stronger than us. If we trained for the same period of time as you,
it’ll be difficult to say who’s strong and who’s weak.”
Wesley glared at the people disdainfully, listening as they spoke. He looked at the person as if he was
looking at a dung shell beetle who had just climbed out of a manure tank.
“You’re very boastful. How dare you say something like this. You dare say that you’d be as strong as I
am if you trained the same time span as I had? Why don’t you take a look and see how many people
are able to become one of the top 200 when there are a total of 3000 informal disciples? Your
ignorance truly shocked me. On top of that, I didn’t train any much longer than you as I’ve just joined
the sect six months before you.”
In fact, without the battle between sects, the sect would not have recruited this new batch of informal
disciples. Without them, Wesley and his batch of newcomers would be the newly recruited informal
disciples.
No wonder Wesley did not like them, that the disdain came from the bottom of his heart. At this
moment, a wave of footsteps could be heard as they walked over from some distance away. Several
informal disciples who were dressed the same way came rushing over from some distance away with a
smile on their face.
Although they seemed to be at ease, they had a sarcastic look in their eyes in the way they glanced at
the newly recruited disciples. The place they were at was where the newly recruited disciples stayed.
These senior informal disciples would not have come for no reason. jackieie glanced at the trio. The
person standing in the middle had the fiercest look on his face as he had a pair of triangular eyes.
Judging by his facial expression, he did not look like a nice person.
The person with triangular eyes immediately smiled flatteringly when he saw Wesley. “It seems that
you’re here, Senior brother Wesley. We were looking for you. Didn’t you go to the Martial Art
Techniques and Martial Skills Hall to choose a martial skill?”
jackieie could not help but sneered when he heard what the person said. He did not believe that this
guy with triangular eyes had no idea that Wesley was here. They obviously knew that Wesley was near
where they stayed; they purposely came here looking for him or for trouble. All that, yet they pretended
as if they knew nothing.
Wesley turned around to glance at the guy with triangular eyes and nodded. This guy was the leader
among those three informal disciples who had just arrived, and the remaining two seemed to be his
subordinates.
However, from the way this guy spoke to Wesley, they knew that the guy with triangular eyes did not
have a higher position than Wesley. Everybody could hear the flattery in his voice when he spoke to
Wesley.
The guy with triangular eyes glanced at the newly recruited disciples after he arrived beside Wesley. “I
heard how you spoke so arrogantly from a distance away. You guys are so shameless that you say
you’d be able to surpass senior brother Wesley if you’re given enough time. How dare you people say
such things?”
Chapter 1969
“Even us who joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion the usual way dare not claim that we can become one
of the top two-hundred informal disciples within six months.”
After the man with triangular eyes spoke, the two followers immediately chimed in, “That’s right! You’re
just ignorant people who know only to talk boastfully. You’re even being unrealistic in what you’re
proclaiming. How dare you dubious cannon fodder compare yourselves to senior brother Wesley? Let
me tell you: The battle between the sects is about to happen, and we’re not even sure if we can
manage to stay alive. I do wonder who gave you the guts to act in such a boastful manner?”
The guy with triangular eyes sneered coldly and looked at the newly recruited informal disciple with a
disgusted look in his eyes. “Young man, let’s not even talk about competing with senior brother Wesley.
I’ll give you six months before you fight my junior brother in the wager battle arena. You might not even
be able to withstand five moves from him, even if we give you a chance to have three attack moves
before him.”
The newly recruited informal disciples flushed in anger when they heard what he said, but none of them
dared say anything. Even the informal disciple who gathered the courage to refute also kept quiet and
flushed a purple color.
After all, he did not dare to do anything. If he continued, he would have to compete with the informal
disciple standing beside the guy with triangular eyes. Gallant as he was, he just was not capable of
doing that.
With this, the momentum of the newly recruited informal disciples had completely disappeared. They
felt uncomfortable but did not have the courage to have a duel with these people.
Wesley did not pay much attention to these people around him from the start as all his focus was on
jackieie. jackieie, on the other hand, eyed the four of them coldly.
Although these four exuded a stronger momentum compared to usual informal disciples, jackieie did
not pay much attention to them. Wesley raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw how calm
jackieie was.
He initially thought that jackieie would be surprised and would look away after he told jackieie about his
power. Unexpectedly, jackieie did not respond.
Wesley sneered coldly as he remarked, “It is true that the ignorant ones aren’t afraid of anything. You’re
getting so arrogant just because Elder Lee slightly praised you. How brave are you for looking directly
at me!”
jackieie was able to identify the enigmatical words Wesley said but he did not get furious. Instead, he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwondered why Wesley came to say such words.
jackieie was not somebody that allowed others to insult him, thus he sharply bit back, “You were the
one who never stopped running your mouth from the start, while I said nothing. You came looking for
trouble as if you have nothing better to do. Just tell me what you want.”
Wesley’s facial expression immediately changed when he heard what jackieie said. He originally had
an overbearing aura that seemed to be suppressing everybody present. However, jackieie’s words
were like the needle that popped the balloon. Wesley’s indifferent, suppressing aura immediately
disappeared.
He roared loudly, “What did you say? How dare you chide me?!”
The man with triangular eyes also flipped out as if what jackieie said was offending him. “Where did this
dumb*ss come from? How dare you disrespect Senior brother Wesley? Are you suicidal?!”
jackieie did not even look at the two of them. He looked away. “I think that you two are silly. Why did
you come here to show off yourselves? We’re newly recruited informal disciples, and we’ve only joined
the Dual Sovereign Pavilion for one day. If you people really want to show off, why don’t you go to
where the other informal disciples are?”
Chapter 1970
What jackieie said immediately caused a ripple effect among the newly recruited informal disciples.
Those who were originally quiet immediately acted as if they were full of beans.
“That’s right! Do you guys feel proud for humiliating us without any reason? Although you’re a strong
person and are one of the top two hundred among the informal disciples, we’ve just joined the sect. Did
those senior brothers who’ve joined the sect for a long time humiliate you when you were a new
member of the sect?”
“That’s right! All you people know is bullying us!”
Wesley was furious when he heard these words. He scoffed and haughtily raised his head, saying,
“Don’t compare me with you people. Do you think you are worth it? You people are just special
products of a special period. If a huge battle isn’t happening between the Muddled Origin Clan and the
Dual Sovereign Pavilion, do you think people like you would be given a chance to join the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion?!”
Wesley then spun his head toward jackieie, and the hatred in his eyes pierced through jackieie like
poisonous swords. However, jackieie did not seem affected at how Wesley looked at him and remained
calm.
Wesley suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at the room behind jackieie. “You’re unworthy of
owning an independent room. There are only thirty independent rooms for informal disciples in the
entire Dual Sovereign Pavilion. What virtues or capabilities do you have to own a room?”
jackieie immediately understood what was going on after he heard this. He had been wondering why a
person like Wesley would purposely come here to humiliate them without any reason. After all, it was
extremely shameful for him if others learned about what happened here.
That was, of course, unless Wesley was an extremely conceited person and needed to fulfill his vanity
and satisfaction. jackieie had the right guess as Wesley was not here because he did not have
anything better to do. Instead, he wanted this individual room that jackieie owned.
There were only 30 independent rooms among the informal disciples, and jackieie owned one of them.
The other 29 rooms were definitely inhibited by other extremely excellent informal disciples.
Just like what Morton said previously, the fact that jackieie owned a private room was provocative to
other informal disciples. Unexpectedly, somebody had come to instigate a fight in less than a day.
Wesley held his head high and continued to speak,” Fifty lower-grade spirited crystals, and I’ll have a
duel with you at the wager battle arena this month. We’ll wager on this independent room.”
A fox would definitely show their true colors sooner or later. He had such a good plan in mind. It was
definitely against the rules if he forced jackieie to give up the room. However, if this room was used as
a wager in the wager battle arena, it would be perfectly justifiable if he managed to win the room.
He only planned to pay jackieie 50 lower-grade spirited crystals for this, and this was more insulting
than dismissing a beggar. After all, which of those people standing here did not have 50 lower-grade
spirited crystals?
There were finally some changes on jackieie’s originally calm face. A chilly smile appeared at the
corner of his mouth, and chills ran down everyone’s spines. jackieie also glared at Wesley coldly.
“Do you think that I’m dumb? You want me to go to the wager battle arena with only fifty lower-grade
spirited crystals?”
Wesley nodded. “Aren’t you a proud person? Don’t you feel that you can compete with me based on
your identity? No matter how proud you are or what thoughts you have in your mind, why don’t you join
me on the wager battle area to prove yourself?”
The man with triangular eyes chimed in, “In our opinion, you people are just a group of cannon fodder,
and you’re just a slightly bigger cannon fodder among these people. Of course, that’s what we’re
thinking. If you want to refute our claims, why don’t you prove yourself with actual actions? Joining
Senior brother Wesley on the wager battle arena will prove your strength.”
