Chapter 1412 Do Not Regret It
“There’s still a place with ancient ruins on Dragon Island. The Deragon family has been very generous
by choosing to hold the Trial at that spot. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don’t you want to go
there and have a look? I recall there’s something you missed on the island,” Mr. Sanders stated with a
faint smile.
Jared was quiet. That was because the island carried too many memories for him.
On top of that, Renee was still frozen in ice on Dragon Island. When Jared had gone to the island with
Skylar, he had tried looking for her after they retrieved the Flame Dragon and the draconic essence.
However, he had failed to find her.
The surroundings on the island had changed, so he could not locate where she was. Nonetheless, he
never forgot about her and was constantly thinking of finding a chance to rescue her.

After a few minutes of silence, Jared responded through clenched teeth, “Okay. I agree to participate in
the Trial.”
I can also take this opportunity to go to the island and see whether I can find Renee or not.

With that said, Mr. Sanders stretched a hand toward Jared. “Give me the Nascent Soul. I’ll keep it safe
for you.”
Jared clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest before shaking his head. The Nascent Soul was like
a precious treasure to Jared, so there was no way he would hand it to someone else just like that.
Seeing that, Mr. Sanders chuckled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to give it to me. Just don’t regret it if
someone snatches it.”
“I won’t regret it,” Jared replied firmly.
Mr. Sanders did not say anything else, and the group returned to Jadeborough.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Hordes of people gathered at a square in Jadeborough that day. There were way more people at the
Deragons’ training session than the one organized by the martial arts association.
The reason for that was the other training session had only been open to those chosen by the martial
arts families who were also members of the martial arts association. Back then, Skylar and Howard had
managed to gain some experience there thanks to their connections with Zion. However, they failed to
retrieve the Trial’s treasure.
Things were different now, though. All the martial arts families could select whoever they wanted to join
the event on the condition that they were at least a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Hence, there were many
young and promising Martial Arts Marquis among the participants.
It was then that Jared realized there were actually many talents among the younger generation. It’s just
that many of them shy away from showing off in public. As for those elite fighters listed on the Sage
Leaderboard, they all like to flaunt their skills.
Just as he was about to look around and see if there was anyone he knew, he heard someone call his
name. “Jared!”
Turning around, he saw three people around his age approaching him.
The one in the lead was already a Martial Arts Marquis. He did not attempt to conceal his aura,
parading it for everyone to see.
Jared studied the trio but discovered he did not know any of them. Hence, he turned to the group’s
leader and asked, “You guys know me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Of course! You’re so famous that few in the martial arts world wouldn’t know you,” the leader
responded with a smile.
His response left Jared feeling incredibly embarrassed. He had not sought such fame, and he could not
help that others kept causing trouble for him.
Not knowing what their intentions were, Jared was at a loss for what to say when he suddenly spotted
a familiar face and rushed after that person immediately.
“Howard!” Jared called out while patting Howard on the shoulder.
When Howard spun around and saw Jared, he looked pleasantly surprised. “Jared! Are you here for
the Trial, too?”
Jared nodded.
“I can’t believe the Deragon family would be so magnanimous. You beat Edgar within half an inch of his
life, yet they’ve still allowed you to be here.”
Howard could not help feeling astounded. After all, it was a private event organized by the Deragons,
and they could very well have prohibited Jared from participating.
Jared merely smiled without explaining anything. It was Mr. Sander’s request, so I believe that’s why
they dared not refuse.
