No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

“At that time, you not only have to fight against the monster in front of you but you also have to keep an eye out for the other monsters. That’s where having a teammate would come in handy. Not to mention, only those who are extremely strong would dare to step into the areas where the innate level monsters are active.”

Jackie finally understood why Brook was shocked by the corpses but Jackie really did not think this much when he was hunting the monsters. The only thought he had was to kill the monsters and get the hell out of there as soon as possible.

Chapter 2113 Then there was also the fact that he accidentally stumbled upon these monsters in the acquire level monster area, where they were not known to be active. He now knew that the innate level monsters had no choice but to escape to the periphery of the mountain because their usual area had been occupied by the Corpse Pavilion.

Jackie laughed dryly and said, “I guess I’m just lucky… or maybe I’m really that strong. Haha.”

Brook became a little speechless at him. “Gah! It frustrates me to compare myself to you. I will definitely not go to the mountain alone! That would be akin to looking for death! I still can’t believe you single-handedly killed all these monsters. By my rough estimation, you’ll get at least four hundred contribution points for these!”

Brook’s estimation was right. In total, Jackie received four hundred and thirty contribution points, more than what he imagined. The points should last him quite a while if he used them wisely. After all, he did not have to use it in the Martial Art Techniques and Martial Skills Hall or consultation with the elders, so to him, these contribution points were ample enough.

In the evening, Jackie went to the Soul Hall. It just so happened that Noel was also on duty tonight. After seeing Jackie walking in, Noel raised his eyebrows in surprise, poured some tea for him, and said a little unhappily, “Aren’t you working a little too hard? It hasn’t even been a day since you came back from Mount Beasts. You’re making me look really bad, you know.”

Jackie chuckled and said, “It’s not that I want to be this hard working. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t be strong enough to handle whatever may come in the future.”

After thinking about it carefully, Noel felt that what Jackie said was right. After all, in critical times like these, training to become more powerful was like putting insurance on one’s own life.

Noel took out the array board matter-of-factly. “The same difficulty as last time?”

Jackie shook his head and said, “Increase the difficulty to level five this time.”

Upon hearing this, Noel was not even surprised. He simply nodded, in his heart, he had already assigned Jackie to the ranks of monsters. He would not even be surprised if Jackie asked him for the maximum difficulty level.

“For the sake of my mental wellbeing, I’m going to stop comparing myself to you…” muttered Noel to himself. His hands never stopped adjusting the runes on the array board and immediately a white light flashed, signaling that the difficulty level had been increased. Without even lifting his head, Noel pointed at the Array Eye Door and said, “You can go in now.”

Jackie nodded and entered the Array Eye Door. Once he was in, he felt the familiar feeling as the darkness enveloped him. It was as if everything was being swallowed and even time and life had lost their meaning there.

Chapter 2114 The array opened with a ‘cracking’ sound and waves of soul-shockwave rushed toward Jackie without holding back. Jackie inhaled deeply and started meditating. He kept performing the seals with his hands and the remaining power from the Shattered Soul Crystal sealed in his body was activated.

It was much easier to form soul swords under the support of the remaining power from the Shattered Soul Crystal. Ten days passed within the blink of an eye and Jackie successfully formed five more soul swords after using the last bit of remaining power from the Shattered Soul Crystal. This meant that Jackie was capable of forming 15 soul swords to carry out attacks during fights. There was no need for them to fight for such a long period of time and Robin would be killed by Jackie with a single attack if he bumped into Robin right now.

Jackie exhaled deeply and decided to stop training. After all, an actual fight was the only criterion for a person’s combat power and he planned to carry out two wager battles after he left the array. The Array Eye Door opened and Jackie walked out of it, step by step.

He had just returned to the real world when he heard Noel hump up coldly and spoke in a mindless manner. “What does this have to do with me? I’m not going. Even Wesley is just following his brother’s lead. What can I do?”

Zayn, who was sitting beside Noel, seemed to be very excited. “I feel like we cannot say everything for sure. What if he really likes you…”

Noel rolled his eyes at Zayn and grabbed Zayn’s clothes to put some distance between them as a disgusting look appeared on his face. “Hey, have you been eating a lot of spirited herbs recently and have forgotten your common knowledge? Which chosen disciple isn’t hand-picked from the formal disciples?”

The heated discussion grew between those two that none of them realized the Array Eye Door had opened and Jackie had exited the array. Jackie walked toward them curiously when he heard what they were discussing. “Who really likes who? Wesley has a brother?”

The sudden interruption shocked the duo in discussion and Zayn almost jumped up from his seat. Noel frowned and spoke with a twisted expression on his face. “Jackie, are you a cat? You don’t even make a sound when you walk out. Are you trying to scare us to our deaths?”

Jackie shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “You guys did not hear the loud sound when the Array Eye Door opened and you blame me for not making a sound when the two of you were so focused on your discussion. Alright, let’s not hover over these useless matters. Please let me know first, what were you talking about? Does Wesley have a brother?”

Noel pulled a chair next to him and asked Jackie to sit. Jackie did not reject the gesture and poured himself a cup of tea after sitting down. As of then, Noel had already assumed Jackie as his close friend and started telling everything he knew. After Jackie heard the entire story, he spoke with a stiff expression on his face. “You mean that Elder Godfrey is getting a disciple and this will be his only chosen disciple?”

Noel nodded and glanced at Jackie with a meaningful look in his eyes. As runner disciple Zayn was still by their side, he could not point things out frankly.” That’s right, I was also surprised by this. I remembered Elder Godfrey once said that he would not take any disciples. I wonder why the sudden change of mind right now.”

Jackie took a deep inhale but said nothing as all sorts o f thoughts were running in his mind.

Chapter 2115 Zayn did not know about the issue between Jackie and Elder Godfrey. Hence, he spoke in a slightly curious manner, “I feel that Elder Godfrey has let things go. In the past, he had been focused on training. Now, he feels that his life will be too boring if he only focuses on training. It’s surely not as rewarding as getting a disciple and teaching that person everything he knows.”

Noel rolled his eyes at Zayn. “Hey, can you stop guessing what the elder has on their mind with your own thoughts? After all, they might have their own agendas.”

Zayn laughed dryly. “You are right. Right now, Elder Godfrey has become one of the formal elders, and based on our rules, we should address him as Elder Eleven.”

They normally would not address their formal elders with their surnames. Instead, they address them based on their ranking. Right now, Elder Godfrey was in eleventh place so they should address him as Elder Eleven.

Jackie was lost in a daze for some time before he suddenly asked. “What about Wesley’s support, Elder Sayer? What’s his ranking? Why do you guys address him as Elder Sayer instead of following his ranking?”

Zayn obviously liked showing his knowledge so he rushed to convey the information to Jackie at this moment. “Elder Sayer is in the eighth place and according to the rules, we should address him as Elder Eight. However, Elder Sayer disliked this name for unknown reasons and he really hated when others addressed him as Elder Eight. Hence, everybody addresses him as Elder Sayer in order to not offend him.”

Jackie could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He never expected Elder Sayer to be in the eighth place and that meant that he was quite strong. No wonder Wesley was so arrogant. With Elder Sayer as his support, he had the capital to be confident. Jackie sighed and continued to ask, “Who’s Wesley’s brother? Why haven’t I heard about him before this?”

Zayn quickly answered the question. “The Sayer family has a flourishing population and it’s only natural for their family to have more than one Wesley Sayer. Wesley’s full elder brother, Oliver Sayer, is one of our formal disciples. Based on common practice, Oliver should have become Elder Sayer’s chosen disciple. However, he had become a formal disciple for six months but he hadn’t become a chosen disciple for unknown reasons. You do not know about him because he was not in the sect during these few months as he had gone out to complete his mission.”

Since Oliver was Wesley’s full brother, their relationship should be quite close. Based on Wesley’s temperament, he would definitely complain without holding back and describe Jackie as a heinous person. It was possible that Oliver would take this opportunity to cause Jackie some trouble. Jackie could not help but rub his temple. “How strong is Oliver?”

Noel replied, “He’s in the final stage of innate level and is quite strong. I heard that there’s a huge possibility that he will fight for the position of the chosen disciple.”

A question appeared in Jackie’s head. “Is it possible that he never became Elder Sayer’s disciple because he wants to fight for the position of the chosen disciple?”

Noel was stunned after he heard this. “It looks like you don’t even have common knowledge about this. Even if a disciple is accepted to be an elder disciple, he or she can still become a chosen disciple as long as they have the capability to be in the top ten among all disciples. There isn’t any conflict between these two.”

Jackie had some realization after he heard this. If that was the case, Oliver’s actions were unexplainable. Was it possible that Elder Sayer did not accept Oliver as his elder disciple because he did not value Oliver?

Noel spoke as he immediately knew what Jackie was thinking about when he saw Jackie’s expression. “It’s not what you think. Elder Sayer values Oliver and he personally trained Oliver for a period of time previously. We also wonder why he did not accept Oliver as his disciple. In the beginning, we even discussed this matter for several days. However, nobody could figure out Elder Sayer’s thoughts and the matter was dropped.”
