As for others being able to use their resources ten times more effectively, Matt didn’t think much of it as it was other people’s expertise.
However, this also indirectly showed that Howard Lee was worth befriending.
Jack showed an anticipatory look on his face and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a move hidden. But it doesn’t matter, when that time comes, my strength will be stronger than it is now.”
Seeing Jack not thinking too much, Howard nodded and walked away, his footsteps heavy, like an ancient giant full of oppression.
Watching Howard’s back disappear, Jack muttered, “I didn’t expect this guy’s physique to undergo a second metamorphosis. Indeed, I shouldn’t underestimate people in this world.”
True Martial Cultivation is a process of changing one’s physique, causing weak humans to gradually transcend and evolve in the direction envisioned by the creator of the cultivation method.
For instance, the Dragon Elephant Power could transform Jack’s physique towards a Level 6 Mutated Beast – Tyrant Elephant. At its ultimate grand accomplishment, Jack would be as powerful and have strong defenses like the Tyrant Elephant.
Of course, this “strength” is only within the scope of low-level martial arts.
Jack’s combat power far exceeded his realm mainly because his basic attributes were too terrifying.
Advanced Skills targeted top-level colossal beasts. Once the second transformation of Howard’s physique was successful, his combat power would definitely be on par with Fifth Layer Heaven Cultivators.
Thinking about this, Jack couldn’t help but turn his head and look back with faint curiosity in his eyes.
If the second-ranked Howard was so monstrous, what kind of strength did that young girl who had always been above Howard and suppressed the entire generation of South Sky Martial Height’s freshman have?
Officially, Mutated Beasts were divided into low-levels from 1 to 3, and high-levels from 4 to 6.
From Level 7 onwards, Mutated Beasts grew to 50-60 meters or even 70-80 meters long and could be classified as Giant Beasts, with the strongest Level 9 beasts being known as Top-level Colossal Beasts.
Above Level 9, just like human strongmen, they were called King-level Beasts.
At night, after dinner, Glenn ran upstairs and shouted from outside, “Bro, let’s go fishing tonight.”
“Fishing?”
Jack opened the door and looked at him, puzzled: “When did you start liking fishing?”
“Not exactly liking fishing.”
Glenn explained, “A month ago, there was a fishing prize event. If you catch a fish over 1.5 meters long and over 50 kilograms in weight, you get a reward of 500.”
“In addition to the prize money, the official will also buy back the fish at a fair price, which means one big fish is worth around one or two thousand. As a result, people are sitting by the river all month.”
A month ago, Sword Armor Beast just had a breakthrough, followed by the fishing event. Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It seemed that the officials had been paying attention to the abnormal changes in the river, and they were preparing to kill those mutated big fish in advance, to suppress their growth.
“You want to make money by fishing?”
“Yes, I asked mom for money to buy a rod and a fishing line back then, and 1 went fishing by the riverside at night.”
“A few days ago, 1 caught one big fish weighing about 60 kilos, sold it, and earned a total of over 1,400 with the prize money.” Glenn couldn’t help but laugh at this, looking quite happy.
Jack looked up and down at Glenn and praised, “Not bad, 1 didn’t think you’d have a talent for fishing.”
What he praised was not Glenn’s ability to fish, but his behavior of going to school during the day and fishing at night to make money to help out at home. “But there’s only one fishing rod. What am I going to do?”
Glenn had already prepared for this, he smirked, “Didn’t 1 make money a few days ago? So, I bought you one too. Bro, let’s go.”
“…Alright.” Jack nodded.
It’s not that he was interested in fishing, but he didn’t want to let Glenn down, who wanted to show off his accomplishments for the past month, excitedly in front of his brother.After all, compared to fishing for money, he would later casually earn at least 100,000 credits for killing a Level Two Variant Beast.
In the evening, as the sky darkened and Jack Clark went to the small river with Glenn Clark and the fishing rod and bucket, they indeed saw many people fishing at night on both sides of the river.
Most of them were middle-aged people.
“Brother, there are not many people there. Let’s use this to bait first. 1 specifically hung small live fish on the fishing line. You watch this fishing rod, and I’ll watch that one…”
Having fished for a month, Glenn Clark seemed quite professional.
However, it was not known whether it was because there were not many big fish in this river or because there were more people than fish. By midnight, they had only caught a few carp weighing about ten kilograms.
Glenn Clark was quite disappointed by this.
Time flew by, and over the next two days, Jack Clark repeatedly went to the school for free meals while also checking on the Sword Armor Flame Beast and observing the consumption of the hot material nearby.
“Jack Clark, good morning.”
“Darren, I heard you’ve already broken through the Third Realm.”
“Well, 1 just got lucky and broke through.”
“Amazing. We’re just at the Second Layer Heaven.”
“Stephen Lee, you’re not bad; you’ve already broken through the Second Layer Heaven. I’m still lingering at the peak of the First Layer Heaven, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to condense True Strength.”
On the third day, Jack Clark walked into the school and met many familiar classmates along the way, as well as some ordinary classmates who barely knew each other from the next class.
However, this time, everyone seemed more enthusiastic than before.
Jack Clark responded politely to all the classmates who greeted him, not becoming haughty due to his superior strength.
Soon, Jack Clark reached the First Floor Service Hall outside Building C, blending into the crowd.
“Jack Clark, over here.” Freya Louise, standing on the distant steps, waved at him gently.
Crystal and Mandy Leinster stood beside her, with Justin Welan, White Veil, Zac Lyons, and Marcus Lee not far away, talking quietly about something.
Matt Watkins, a student from their class, was also nearby chatting with Kyle Hawk, who ranked third in their class.
Previously, those who had good relationships with Crystal Leinster, like Sawyer Levin, Laurant Quartley, and Vera Lee, were also present but seemed a little restrained.
Apart from them, Jack Clark also saw many familiar faces – all students who had participated in the trials, forming small groups and chatting with each other.
It was obvious that they had left their classmates far behind.
Half of the students who returned from the trials had broken through the Third Layer Heaven, while those who had not were in the late period of the Second Layer Heaven or even at its peak, close to entering the Third Layer Heaven.
Besides, after experiencing blood and fire, they now emitted a calm temperament, with sharp and aggressive eyes.
In comparison to them, those classmates who stayed in the school or hadn’t broken through the Second Layer Heaven at that time seemed naive, both in mentality and strength.
Although two months had passed, nearly all the “geniuses” who had achieved Foundation Establishment in one week had broken through the Second Layer Heaven.
Moreover, some students accumulated knowledge bit by bit and caught up.
However, including Jack Clark and the others, there were now only about 160 freshmen at South Sky Martial Height above the Second Layer Heaven, and the rest were still struggling at the First Layer Heaven.
And in this period, only a few dozen people achieved Foundation Establishment, totaling about 900.
This was the result of Vernon Leinster’s “passionate” speech back then, which made some of the dissatisfied freshmen persist and successfully establish their foundations after three or four months..
