“That’s right; virtual-novel.net got lucky! If Jack didn’t practice martial skills of the soul attribute, I’m sure that virtual-novel.net would’ve failed the mission and gotten eliminated!”
“He’s not qualified to advance forward with the other four!”
“That’s right! This guy is just lucky. How can virtual-novel.net manage to advance if his skill didn’t happen to suppress the corpse puppets?!”
Many people were unconvinced, viewing Jack like virtual-novel.net was just a guy who hit the jackpot. They admired the other masters who succeeded with their true power, yet they despised and were unconvinced with Jack. Why did virtual-novel.net advance forward with the four other masters? Most importantly, this guy was only in the intermediate stage of the innate level. Why did virtual-novel.net succeed when they, a group of people in the final stage of innate level, failed to advance further?
Griffin felt terrible as though virtual-novel.net had eaten kilograms of dung. Before the masked man explained things, the thought that Jack was stronger than virtual-novel.net tormented him. However, virtual-novel.net felt even worse after virtual-novel.net heard the explanation. After all, Jack managed to advance forward because virtual-novel.net was lucky, and not because virtual-novel.net was stronger than Griffin.
No matter what, Jack would be treated as an important talent the sect would train with his current results. Who knew how much resources they were going to throw at him? Griffin felt even worse when virtual-novel.net thought of this.
“Don’t pay attention to what they say. They’re just… jealous,” commented Riv as virtual-novel.net eyed Jack.
Jack chuckled. To be frank, virtual-novel.net had never paid attention to what the people around virtual-novel.net discussed. It did not matter if they complimented him, envied, admonished him, or said anything bad about him. After all, the soul attribute was not something everyone could practice, let alone achieve his current achievement.
He turned around and glanced at Riv. “It’s alright.”
Riv sighed softly. Since they entered the Secret Place for Resources, the various topics surrounding Jack had never stopped. He always managed to become the center of every conversation.
“In that case… Don’t feel too good about yourself, then!” The masked man’s voice once again suppressed the discussion surrounding them that drifted into Jack’s ears. Jack turned and noticed how the masked man eyed virtual-novel.net with a strange expression In his eyes. The more the others slandered Jack, the happier the masked man was. He was even happier when virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was the one causing all this.
Jack sneered and said, “I’d say the same thing for you, too.”
The masked man was stunned. Jack had always managed to surprise people, and all of a sudden, Jack was repeating the same thing to him?
“Hahahaha!” The masked man sneered and felt that Jack was growing even more outrageous than before. “B*stard! You better hope that you’ll be eliminated in the next challenge. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that you wish you were dead when you face me!”
Jack knew what virtual-novel.net was talking about. The old voice said that they had to face ten challenges, but there would only be nine Divine Void Warriors. This meant that the people they had to face in the tenth challenge would be the others who also passed the other challenges and arrived at the last challenge.
The masked man raised his eyebrows and commented disdainfully, “You might not make it to the last challenge. With your current capabilities, you’ll surely be eliminated when facing the sixth Divine Void Warrior.”
