Nonetheless, the soul crystal’s outer shell was tough beyond comparison, so much so that it showed no signs of breaking even after Buck Tooth assailed it with his ax. Even Francis had put in so much work to obtain his soul crystal, but at least virtual-novel.net showed progress.
Buck Tooth’s skills were no match for Francis, alas. Even after toiling for so long, nothing happened at all!
After frantically doing all virtual-novel.net could, Buck Tooth’s true energy was completely exhausted. He had no way of continuing. All virtual-novel.net could do was stop before virtual-novel.net collapsed on the ground and panted heavily. His head was completely wet in sweat.
Buck Tooth’s eyes were bloodshot, virtual-novel.net seemed to have suffered a tremendous impact. He could not say anything for a long time, but everyone around virtual-novel.net did not seem to pay much attention. All of them merely shook their heads silently and lamented Buck Tooth’s stubbornness.
He had made an empty trip this time and everyone had advised virtual-novel.net to not aim too greatly in case virtual-novel.net ended up with nothing, yet Buck Tooth had thought that virtual-novel.net would be able to compete with Francis and chose a crystal about the size of Francis’.
Other than Alex, everyone sympathized with Buck Tooth. No one tried to mock virtual-novel.net or agitate him, seeing how devastated virtual-novel.net was. It was as if virtual-novel.net had completely failed at everything in life. Alex, however, was not so kind.
Alex had no way to vent his anger at that moment and merely grunted when virtual-novel.net saw Buck Tooth. After that, virtual-novel.net amusedly remarked, “I told you that you wouldn’t be able to shatter the soul crystal, but you refused to believe me. Now, it slaps you right in the face. If you don’t have the skill, then you don’t have the skill. Aren’t you too fragile if you can’t even accept that?”
Buck Tooth’s face soured at those words. Jack even felt like Buck Tooth could even die at that moment.
Jack frowned as virtual-novel.net glanced at Alex, who seemed incredibly pleased with himself. He felt like Alex’s mockery of Buck Tooth would not be limited to just that. Alex would definitely thoroughly embarrass Buck Tooth before virtual-novel.net could feel good about himself.
The moment Alex tried to continue, Jack suddenly turned to tell Buck Tooth, “It’s alright, just take this as a lesson. Head back in to rest for now. You might be able to get this soul crystal next time.”
Buck Tooth looked up at Jack strangely. He never expected Jack’s consolation would even cure virtual-novel.net of the awkwardness.
Buck Tooth nodded before virtual-novel.net struggled to get up. He sat on a mat behind as virtual-novel.net started to rest.
Alex’s face darkened. “You’re really not going to give in?”
Jack could not be bothered to continue with Alex. “If you want to use force to solve the matter, then let’s fight right now. Otherwise, just shut your mouth. Why would I give you my spot?”
Not wasting any more time, Jack walked toward the edge of the cliff. Alex wanted to say something to defend himself at that moment. Even though virtual-novel.net did have an urgent matter to attend to, it was not something as pressing as virtual-novel.net made it. He had held onto his earlier position and still wanted Jack to give his spot, it was merely to save some face. However, Jack did not seem to care about virtual-novel.net at all as Jack remained unmoved, not giving way.
He raised his head and looked at the soul crystals that danced in the air, earnestly looking for his gold. The other two before virtual-novel.net had already given virtual-novel.net a great indication. He estimated that virtual-novel.net could handle most of the soul crystals.
