City, Howard Lee’s Challenge (Extra for Warm Sun Alliance Master, Eleventh Chapter)
Translator: 549690339
In the evening, dozens of new students who had just finished their meeting flooded into the third-floor restaurant.
Some of these students looked hesitant, some excited, and others envious and regretful, discussing the situation in Kaierla in pairs or groups.
Justin Welan was also a bit excited, “Jack, what do you think about us applying to go to Kaierla too?”
Jack Clark thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, “There’s only half a month left in the trial, let’s not get involved in this mess. It’s a bit dangerous there.”
With Koroya’s new political system in place, most of the Evil God Sect cultists and rebels in the cities have been wiped out, and this trial is nearing its end.
A couple of days ago, Sylvia Lyons mentioned in the chat group that they would be able to return to the school by the end of the month.
The reason they have to wait for more than a dozen days is that there are still some scattered cultists and rebels hiding among ordinary people and in the deep mountain forests.
At the same time, there has been a resurgence in several major cities.
In particular, in the king’s city of Kaierla, there suddenly emerged many Second Layer Heaven and Third Layer Heaven immortal disciples, as well as senior blood envoys of the Fifth and Sixth-level Heaven.
In addition, there were even fanatics and high-order bishops of the Fourth and Fifth Layer Heaven from the Giant God Sect, causing great chaos when they suddenly burst forth.
Although these Evil God Sect experts were quickly suppressed and defeated by the military’s strongmen, they also caused a lot of casualties.
Currently, the university teachers stationed in major cities have received orders to call in reinforcements.
The matter discussed by the three teachers, Sylvia Lyons, Jerrold West, and Emmitt Wesley, at the previous meeting was about this. Tomorrow morning, Sylvia Lyons and Jerrold West would fly to Kelter.
As for Emmitt Wesley, he will stay behind to hold the fort.
Students who have broken through the Third Realm could also apply to join the reinforcement mission, although no one had applied so far.
Justin Welan lamented when he realized that Jack did not want to go, “But Crystal and the others want to sign up. Aren’t we missing out if we don’t go?”
“Them, huh?” Jack frowned slightly.
An hour ago, Crystal Leinster and the others in Kaleb Tuul city also received the notice, and team members Crystal Leinster, Mandy Leinster, Matt Watkins, and Freya Louise all wanted to sign up.
They spoke about it in the 3-9 Chat Group, but Jack and Justin were still in a meeting at the time.
Unlike Jack, who broke through a month ago, and Justin, who broke through more than half a month ago, Crystal and the others had made breakthroughs one after another in the past few days, with Freya being the latest three days before.
Of the students over there, only Maria Jenkins was a little short and could not go-
And it’s not just them.
Of the 57 South Sky Martial Height students participating in the trial, about half of them had broken through the Third Realm, excluding a few unlucky ones who were injured from the beginning and the one guy who died.
The rest, who had not yet made breakthroughs, were either at the peak of Second Heaven or in the late stage, and on the verge of entering the Third Realm.
While this number may seem exaggerated, it should be noted that these new students had spent most of their time in Koroya either fighting or on their way to battle, experiencing multiple life-and-death situations.
With the contribution points multiplier in place, it’s normal to achieve rapid progress by exchanging a large number of resources, compressing the breakthrough time of half a year to a year into two months.
Of course, the most unusual among these people is Jack, whose strength leap is even more exaggerated.
Just the fact that he had broken through to the middle phase of the Third Layer
Heaven in one month surpassed all… most people.
Without knowing the exact progress of the monstrous Jane Aiken’s cultivation, Jack wouldn’t dare to claim that his current realm is the highest.
But in terms of combat power, he is confident that he looks down upon all his classmates. Now, his physical strength is becoming more and more terrifying, and an ordinary early stage Fourth Layer Heaven cultivator might not even be able to withstand one of his strikes.
However, there were too many Evil God Sect experts hidden in Kelter this time, unlike in Lester City, where there were only small fries in the First and Second Heaven Realm.
Moreover, with the trial coming to an end and his avatar gradually gaining strength, he just wants to wait quietly for the trial to end and is no longer in a hurry for contribution points.
After all, once he breaks through the Four Layer Heaven a few months after returning, he will more or less complete his first year. And when his avatar continues to evolve for half a year, his strength will become incredibly terrifying when he participates in the Mutated Beast Trial as a sophomore the following year.
Easily slaying over a dozen Level 3 Mutant Beasts to collect 300 Contribution Points, he would be able to exchange high-grade Cultivation Methods and soar to the heavens.
Of course, there is also another reason: during the previous meeting, he had a fleeting feeling of intense danger when he accidentally thought of going to Kelter.
Justin Welan, unaware of these details, regretted, “If you’re not going, Jack, I won’t go either. There’s no fun in showing off in front of Crystal and the others alone.”
Jack was speechless, “You are only at the third rank, what are you going to show off over there? Be careful, a Fifth Layer Heaven Blood Envoy might just slap you to death.”
Justin Welan smirked, “Heh… Jack, don’t underestimate me.”
Feeling proud, Justin Welan said, “I’ve now fully absorbed the Thick Earth Qi, greatly increasing my defense. Even if it’s a Fourth Layer Heaven cultivator, I have confidence 1 can withstand it.”
“…Your defense is indeed impressive,” Jack admitted reluctantly.
About half a month ago, Justin Welan’s Mysterious Martial Thick Earth True Ability could withstand the attack of a golden-backed violent ape. With a trace of a king-level blood lineage, its combat strength was close to the mid-stage of the Fourth Layer Heaven at the time.
Of course, at that time, Justin Welan could only take on two consecutive attacks, and any more than that would get him smashed to death.
After dinner, the topic came up again in their team chat group.
Jack reminded, “There are too many high-level experts in Kelter, so I don’t recommend you guys go there. If you encounter a powerhouse above the Fifth Layer Heaven, you might not even have a chance to resist.”
“I think just the opposite.”
Matt Watkins chimed in, “Right now, the military’s strongmen are in control of the king’s city, and once the reinforcements converge tomorrow, their high-end power will be more than ten times that of the Evil God Sect cultists.
H
“Under these circumstances, 1 think the risk level is actually quite low. At that time, we just need to follow behind and focus on dealing with ordinary blood disciples.”
“With our team’s strength, we can easily defeat ordinary Third Layer Heaven blood disciples and have a chance to surround and kill Fourth Layer Heaven experts, gaining a lot of contribution.”
“Uh… Matt Watkins, now I understand why your screen name is ‘Why be a
Youth If Not Reckless’.”
Jack Clark didn’t expect that this thick-browed and big-eyed guy, who looked sophisticated and calm, would actually be an adventurer, no wonder he had encouraged everyone to participate in the trial at first.
However, his words did indeed make the others feel tempted.
Crystal Leinster said, “We’ve thought about this issue and came to a conclusion that is not too different from what Matt Watkins said. With the numerous strong men gathered, Kaleb Tuul is the safest city.”
“We just have to follow behind and focus on the opposing ordinary cultists, and we can harvest a lot of Contribution Points.”
“At that time, when we return to school to consolidate our cultivation, we might have a chance to break through the Fourth Layer Heaven before the sophomore trial, far ahead of other classmates.”
Freya Louise came out and asked curiously, “Jack, you seem to not want us to go to Kaleb Tuul?”
Jack Clark nodded, “Well, I think everyone has made great progress in this trial, so there’s no need to take risks. Just wait for the return with peace.”
That flash of dangerous intuition in the afternoon just passed, and Jack Clark couldn’t be sure if it was wrong.
After all, it was nearly a thousand kilometers away from Kaleb Tuul. Even if he told it to Crystal Leinster and the others, they wouldn’t believe it since it was too exaggerated. So Jack Clark just advised from the side.
But this reason was obviously not enough. So after a little chat in the small study group, Crystal Leinster and the others decided to go anyway.
Seeing this, Jack Clark didn’t say anything more, as everyone had their own stance.
The next morning, they were still at the old airport. Jack and others stood by the runway to see off teachers Sylvia Lyons and Jerrold West.
In addition to them, several Third Layer Heaven freshmen also decided to go for reinforcement.
They included Zac Lyons, who had just broken through not long ago, White Veil, as well as Mullen Weisz and Howard Lee, who had been practicing in seclusion for a long time.
After more than ten days in seclusion, Howard Lee, who absorbed the blood essence of the golden-backed violent ape, had an increasingly terrifying aura. His more than 2-meter height standing there was like a giant, full of oppression.
Looking at Jack Clark, Howard Lee was a little regretful, “I didn’t expect you to not sign up. I was even thinking about who could kill more blood disciples this time.”
“I’m also a little surprised that you, who were the craziest to kill at that time, didn’t go this time.” Mullen Weisz, carrying a heavy sword, looked regretful.
Jack Clark smiled faintly, “The main reason is that I’ve recently made some breakthroughs in True Martial Arts cultivation and want to take some time to consolidate, so 1 don’t plan to go to this muddy water.”
As they talked, Justin Welan and Marcus Lee were also chatting with Zac Lyons and White Veil nearby.
They said something about Jack and Justin Welan not going and that their Killing Squad was dissolved. Jack Clark was a bit confused; when did he join a killing squad?
At that moment, Howard Lee suddenly said, “Jack, would you like to have a match when we return?”
“A match?” Jack raised his eyebrows.
Howard Lee’s eyes were full of Battle Intent, and he said solemnly, “Yes, an all-out fight.”
After more than ten days, the terrifying force of even just a trace of king-level blood essence in him had made great progress not only on his True Martial Arts Cultivation but also on his physical strength. His strength had surged dramatically.
But today, when he saw Jack again, Howard Lee felt that the unfathomable sense of oppression on him was still there.
It was obvious that it wasn’t just him whose strength had surged, but also Jack’s mysterious cultivation had made a terrifying improvement. This made Howard Lee become full of fighting spirit.
He really wanted to know how strong Jack really was.
Facing Howard Lee’s challenge, Jack Clark didn’t avoid it. With a faint smile on his face, he nodded and said, “Alright, let’s find a time to have a match after we return.”
Howard Lee was curious about Jack’s strength, and likewise, Jack was also interested in his combat power after the continuous breakthroughs.
He was eager to know whose strength was stronger: his own steadily strengthening physique or the Innate Divine Strength Howard Lee, who had mastered the power-type cultivation methods.
After making a simple agreement, Howard Lee, Mullen Weisz, Zac Lyons, and White Veil followed Sylvia Lyons and boarded the plane one after another, taking off into the sky with a roar of engines.
As they watched the plane disappear into the horizon, Marcus Lee suddenly sighed, “Time flies so fast. It’s been almost two months in the blink of an eye.”
Justin Welan nodded, “Yeah, it’s so fast that we’ve broken through the Third Realm.”
Jack Clark shook his head, “…Justin, I feel like you’re not sighing, but showing off.”
“Hehe… Did I show off?” Justin Welan’s face was full of smugness.
“By the way, Marcus Lee, why didn’t you go this time?”
Marcus Lee said naturally, “Since Jack didn’t go, something must be wrong. So I thought about it and decided not to go too.”
“Uh…”
This reason left Jack Clark speechless, “Just don’t blame me for making you earn fewer Contribution Points later.”
“Heh! You can only spend Contribution Points if you’re alive.”
This time, many Third Layer Heaven geniuses went to Kaleb Tuul, holding similar thoughts to Crystal and the others, thinking that it would be safer with a large number of strong men gathered there.
But Marcus Lee still held the same opinion as Jack Clark, that too many strong men might cause accidents.
This was not Lester City, where there were only a few Fourth Layer Heaven advanced cultivators around, and they were wiped out by the military as soon as they appeared.
After experiencing two months of trials of fire and blood, the group became more cautious as their strengths surged.
Including Jack, after witnessing the real combat power of senior strong men like Lori Parma and others, he became even more cautious and careful, losing that initial fearlessness.
Of course, this was just their thoughts; other people were even more proactive in trying to improve themselves by taking advantage of the pressure in Kaleb Tuul.
Amidst the laughter, the three of them walked out of the airport with other classmates who had come to see them off and boarded a dedicated vehicle to leave..
