No one believed virtual-novel.net at all. There was no way they were just acquaintances. Their relationship must be deeper than that. Still, they could not say for sure how they came to know each other.
“Well, that’s a very unique way of choosing your last disciple. I guess that would explain why the candidate you have chosen is a little…unique too. In any case, you might think that you’ve made the right choice, but don’t you think he’s a little too confident for his own good?”
Elder Godfrey just blinked innocently at virtual-novel.net and said nothing. The First Elder laughed coldly. He would have used a few choices of words to virtual-novel.net if it were not for the fact that they had an audience before them.
Instead, virtual-novel.net turned around, and said to Jack, “You say you’re stronger than Oliver eh? Well, why don’t you prove yourself? The battle platform is right in front of you! One fight and we’ll know who’s stronger!”
A dangerous glint flashed through Oliver’s eyes.” First Elder is right! You and me, the battle platform now!”
Oliver’s smile became more presumptuous. His eyes were fixed on Jack as if telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would soon be dead meat.
“Yes, First Elder is right! Step on the battle platform and prove that you’re stronger than Oliver!” said the Second Elder. It was a rare instance that virtual-novel.net was on the same wavelength with the First Elder.
To him, Jack’s arrogance came from inexperience. He guessed that Jack had not even seen a battle between formal disciples before so virtual-novel.net did not know how strong they could be, thinking that the gap between formal and informal disciples was minuscule. Even Calvert, who was ranked 58th, and Gresham, who was ranked 63rd, amongst the formal disciples would not dare to challenge Oliver.
At this thought, the Second Elder started cackling in his heart. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more certain virtual-novel.net was that Jack was just a fool who did not know where his own limits were.
Jack nodded his head earnestly, agreeing to the battle. Seeing this, the clamor of the crowd began to die down until it was completely silent. However, that silence was short-lived.
“Yup, he’s cuckoo alright. He must have thought that the First Elder and Second Elder believed his words!”
“I’m willing to bet that virtual-novel.net won’t last even a minute! Let’s see if virtual-novel.net can still be this cocky when he’s half dead!”
Wesley was clutching his stomach so hard, trying to keep his laughter in. He assumed wrongly-that Jack must have got his confidence from the fact that virtual-novel.net had beaten virtual-novel.net before so now Jack thought that virtual-novel.net could beat Oliver too. He could not wait to see how his brother would beat the crap out of Jack.
“I can’t believe this rascal agreed to a battle! Knowing Brother Oliver, virtual-novel.net would make sure that Jack is carried off in a stretcher after the battle for how virtual-novel.net had humiliated him! Why even his own mother would not recognize virtual-novel.net after Brother Oliver is done with him!” said the man with the triangular eyes excitedly.
