Jack raised an eyebrow at Alex. “Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I said to you? What does who I am have to do with you?”
Alex’s eyes reddened as Jack’s words assailed his ears. With that, virtual-novel.net marched toward Jack and walked right up to him.
That stance made the white-haired man step back in fright. He was afraid that Alex would not be able to hold back from attacking Jack right then and there, and virtual-novel.net did not want to be involved whatsoever.
Thankfully, Alex’s last shred of reason managed to stop virtual-novel.net from doing that. He merely looked at Jack with a look that showed just how unhinged virtual-novel.net was, like virtual-novel.net nearly broke mentally. He looked like virtual-novel.net wanted nothing more than to see past Jack’s skin and into his inner thoughts.
Jack, on the other hand, stood perfectly still with a frown on his face. He watched as Alex stormed right before virtual-novel.net and quietly anticipated his next move. What shocked Jack was the fact that Alex actually turned and headed out of the cave after a while. Jack stared as Alex’s figure faded from view.
Alex seemed like virtual-novel.net had gone crazy. Alex looked like virtual-novel.net had made up his mind right before virtual-novel.net turned and walked away.
“That terrified me,” spoke the white-haired man, sounding evidently nervous. “I thought Alex would just come up and beat you without regard to the punishment!”
Jack frowned. His mind paused at the image of how resolved Alex had looked right before virtual-novel.net stopped. That guy had clearly made up his mind about something, and Jack just did not know what it was.
He let out a sigh before virtual-novel.net said, “Things would be much easier if virtual-novel.net had just attacked me. It would’ve proven that he’s just a mindless idiot. The fact that virtual-novel.net managed to hold back means he’s still somewhat intelligent.”
The ones on the mats exchanged looks with each other. They had witnessed everything that happened, and from their expressions, everyone had also realized that Alex turning around like that was not because Alex had no answer to everything and left in defeat.
Alex must have had a plan.
Jack raised an eyebrow before virtual-novel.net wiped away all these irrelevant thoughts. All virtual-novel.net wanted to do was to absorb the soul crystal and increase his strength, and only by becoming stronger would things be easier for him. He would not have to worry about being stopped by others.
Jack shut his eyes before virtual-novel.net placed his hand on the soul crystal. A suction power came from his hand as the power of the soul crystal started to surge into Jack’s body. A surge of pure soul energy spread across Jack’s entire being after virtual-novel.net absorbed it. His hands constantly moved as they formed seal after seal. The powers of Destroying the Void revolved around Jack for a few times before virtual-novel.net started to condense Soul Swords once.
He did not know how many Soul Swords virtual-novel.net could form in a day or how long virtual-novel.net needed to completely absorb the soul crystal. Nonetheless, Jack did not bother thinking about any of that at that moment. The dense spiritual energy constantly moved within Jack’s body. It was as if Jack had seen a bottomless barrel as virtual-novel.net constantly absorbed the soul crystal.
After ten hours, 70 Soul Swords were neatly placed in front of Jack. A crack was heard before the radiant golden light of the soul crystal started to disappear.
