No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

“He must have gone insane with shock and quickly thought up a plan like this to get himself out of the fight with Wesley. However, I don’t think his plan will work. If Wesley let the matter slide after all that he had said, then no one will ever take him seriously anymore.”

“Yeah! We all know about Wesley’s fiery temper and how he would do anything to take out those that he hates. Wesley wouldn’t be the Wesley we know if let Jackie go just like that.”

“That Jackie must be panicking to come up with a useless plan like this. Wesley would definitely offer up a wager just so he could torture him during the battle.”

Deacon Ambrose, who was standing under the battle platform, glanced at Jackie with eyes filled with resignation. To him, Jackie possessed unlimited potential but he should really do something about his impulsive nature.

Chapter 2013 There was no way Wesley, with his fiery temper, would let Jackie off the hook so easily. Even beating him up would not assuage his anger. However, Deacon Ambrose and Jackie were not really that close with each other so he chose not to speak up for Jackie and continued to observe from the sidelines.

The crowd’s comments continuously streamed into his ear and their unfounded speculations made him speechless. No matter how unwilling he was to defend himself, he was left with no choice but to speak up for himself in order to stop things from progressing the way they were.

“Can you just shut up for a bit? You’re getting hysterical,” he said to the man with triangular eyes. Then, he focused his attention on Wesley, who was looking at him with an eyebrow raised a provoking smile.

Jackie did not really care about what Wesley was thinking. “Let me ask you again-what’s your wager?”

Wesley narrowed his eyes. He agreed with what the man with triangular eyes said; offering up a wager meant that he thought Jackie had a winning chance against him. He really looked down on the trash disciples who got into the Dual Sovereign Pavilion through unusual means. Jackie would never even have the chance to step into the Dual Sovereign Pavilion if it were not for the impending war between the Clan associations. Therefore, he did not deserve to hold the same position as him!

However, since Jackie already asked, it would be unbecoming of him to not answer. He smiled mockingly and said, “Although you’re not worthy enough for me to offer a wager, I’ll still do it because crippling you is the most important thing right now.”

Deacon Ambrose coughed lightly and said, “The rules of the battle are clear-no permanent damage o r crippling during the battle.”

Wesley simply nodded at him but it was obvious he did not take what Deacon Ambrose said to heart by the way he was raising his eyebrow. Wesley’s words had spurred the crowd to be more spirited. They wondered if he was really going to cripple Jackie but if he really did that, he would be punished! However, maybe he was willing to risk it all to teach Jackie a lesson. They all knew he would be fine as long as he did not cause permanent damage to Jackie. After all, he could always turn to Elder Sayer for help.

Everyone turned to look at Jackie with slight pity in their eyes. They were all imagining how Jackie would end up crippled by Wesley. Some of them were even shaking their heads and the comments got louder.

Jackie was completely speechless. “Would it kill you to just answer my question? What does all this have to do with ego? I’m only asking you about your wager!” He did not care what Wesley was feeling. He only wished to settle the wager as soon as possible.

Wesley’s anger flared up again and his expression became rigid upon hearing what Jackie said. His hawklike eyes stared fixedly at Jackie. “You really sound like you can’t wait to die! Fine, let’s have it your way and to make it worth your while-I’ll let you decide what my wager is going to be.”

Jackie raised his eyebrow and in a calm and slow manner said, “Since you don’t have an individual room, how about you offer up a wager of one hundred and fifty contribution points and two soulpenetrating pills?”

Chapter 2014 Everybody’s eyes were wide open when they heard this. Putting the results of the battle aside, just the wager from Wesley as requested by Jackie was enough to shock many people.

No matter who made the bet, they could not wager more than 150 sect contribution points and this meant that Jackie had requested Wesley to bet the highest contribution points. Together with two soul penetrating pills, the bet soared again as the soul penetrating pills were one of the more precious pills among the fifth-grade pills.

In fact, the cultivation of soul-penetrating pills required several exceptionally precious ingredients. Due to the value of these ingredients, the pricing of the soul-penetrating pill was comparable to sixth grade pills.

In the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, the pricing of every soul-penetrating pill was 150 sect contribution points and two soul-penetrating pills would be 300 sect contribution points. Together with the 150 sect contribution points, they wagered previously, they had a total of 450 sect contribution points!

This price had far exceeded the pricing of the room Jackie owned right now. Common informal disciples cannot easily come up with so many sect contribution points. Even if any of them accumulated so many sect contribution points, they were used to redeem high-grade martial art techniques or martial skills.

The corners of Wesley’s mouth twitched. Before he was able to speak, the man with triangular eyes wailed and stared at Jackie with his ugly triangular eyes. “Are you crazy? You are asking Senior Brother Wesley to wager items that are worth more than 400 to 500 sect contribution points when your wager is only a room. How dare you say so!”

Even though everybody knew that Jackie was never going to win, they are also aware that those who went into the wager battle arena would wager items that are equal in value. The value of the items Jackie was requesting Wesley to bet on was so much more compared to what he could afford. What Jackie said had caused Wesley’s darkened expression to slowly turn purple.

He felt that Jackie said this to humiliate him with hopes that he would refuse to wager these items to take care of his honor. In that case, Jackie would not need to join him in the wager battle arena.

The people surrounding them also had the same thoughts and many of them secretly shook their heads. “Jackie is quite smart and he knows that Wesley would be unconsciously shaming himself if Wesley agreed to what Jackie said. Based on Wesley’s characteristics, he might refuse this wager to protect his honor. By then, Jackie will have an excuse to refuse to join Wesley in the wager battle arena.”

“In the beginning, I thought that this guy wasn’t smart enough. Now, it seems like I’ve looked down upon him as this way might just work. If I’m Wesley, I might refuse the bet just to protect my honor.”

Wesley humphed coldly after he heard the discussion of the onlookers around them. He had an angry yet mocking look in his eyes. He raised his voice and said, “Alright! I shall bet all of the items! Although the wager is in your favor, I will never let things go your way!”

Everybody once again opened their eyes widely and gasped after they heard what Wesley said. Wesley had gone all out and ignored everything about honor as long as he was able to give Jackie a serious beating.

Wesley did this so that Jackie could not find any excuses to not join him in the wager battle arena. At this moment, everybody once again looked toward Jackie. However, Jackie seemed to have relaxed after he heard what Wesley said. The horrified and helpless expression that everybody was anticipating did not appear on his face.

Wesley tightened his fists and was gritting his teeth In anger toward Jackie. “You b*stard, remember what I’m saying now. The end of this month shall be the day of your death!”

Chapter 2015 Jackie chuckled lightly after he heard this and said, ” There’s no need to wait till the end of the month as we can battle now. Since you’ve agreed to my demands, there’s no point in waiting.”

What Jackie said was the same as dropping a 3000 kilograms boulder into a calm lake. Many people immediately wondered if they were hallucinating. What did Jackie just say? Was he in a hurry to die when he said that he wanted to go into the battle arena right then and there with Wesley? Or had he given up and gone completely crazy?

Even Noel and Brook looked at each other in blank dismay after they heard what Jackie said. Their mouths were wide open for a long time and they were unable to say a word apart from the surprise in their hearts as they looked at Jackie’s straight back.

Jackie completely ignored what the onlookers thought about him or their opinions toward him. He walked steadily and arrived in front of Ambrose. Ambrose was also slightly stunned as he looked at Jackie. He could not comprehend what Jackie wanted to do. He felt that Jackie was not the kind of lunatic who did not care about anything else.

Only around a dozen days had passed and he was in such a hurry to die? If he was given a month of training time, he might be able to increase his strength and would not lose in such an ugly way. However, Jackie was impatient for it to happen. The corners of his mouth twitched as he spoke dryly.” Are you sure that you want to have a fight with him In the battle arena now?”

Jackie nodded solemnly. “Unless Wesley is unwilling to fight with me.”

Wesley’s eyes almost jumped out of his sockets when he heard this. He really could not understand what Jackie had in mind. In the beginning, he thought that Jackie did so many things to prevent himself from joining Wesley in the battle arena. However, Jackie was in so much anticipation to have a fight with him!

Wesley swallowed his saliva and the corners of his mouth twitched as he spoke. “Sure! We definitely have to fight!”

Jackie nodded. Was this not over? What was worth feeling tangled about? Jackie’s lack of dilemma did not mean that Ambrose was not in a dilemma. He softly sighed and felt that this was such an intriguing day. However, he could not say anything as the judge since both Jackie and Wesley had agreed to the terms. He asked Steward Fleming to pass him the wager record book as he slowly wrote down all the wagers set by both of them. When he finally finished writing the last item, he could not help but ask again, “Are you sure that you would like to have a battle with him now?”

Jackie nodded calmly. Ambrose exhaled deeply and decided to say nothing else. He pointed at the battle arena in the middle that was newly emptied. “This is your battle arena. The two of you can go up now if you’re ready.”

Jackie turned around and looked at Wesley as he spoke. “Do you need to take a rest to restore your peak state as you’ve just finished a battle?”

After Wesley heard what Jackie said, his facial expression changed like there were fireworks happening. His facial expression alternated between a greenish color and being pale. He humpped coldly as his shoulders trembled. Wesley felt that he did not know how to respond as he was exasperated. He even wondered if there was something wrong with this guy. The other onlookers were also speechless. Jackie was actually worried that Wesley was not at his peak state? Was he worried that Wesley would be unable to wound him badly later?

At this moment, everybody was certain that there was something wrong with Jackie’s mentality or he would not have spoken in such a manner. Wesley inhaled deeply and refused to say anything as he directly walked toward the battle arena he had just come down from.

The shoulders of the man with triangular eyes trembled as a speechless expression appeared on his face. “I’ve never seen anybody like you, who wishes to die so much. There really are various kinds of strange things in this great world.”
