After all, Jack was far too talented. Even if virtual-novel.net was in the inner valley, virtual-novel.net would be able to scale up the ranks easily. Losing the tournament would already be a big crime, and if they failed to protect Jack, their punishments would no doubt multiply.
Elder Maurice could not help but shudder at the thought as virtual-novel.net turned to look at Mr. Zayne, who was already staring at him. They could see the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
At that moment, Claude raised his voice, to which everyone heard virtual-novel.net say, “Wait, what? What’s virtual-novel.net doing? He pulled out his weapon!”
All eyes turned sharply in Jack’s direction soon after.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net had already retrieved his gray sword from Mustard Seed and held it tightly by the hilt. Those plans that they were all talking about could really have worked, but Jack did not need them. The phoenix was just an early stage spring solidifying realm beast, it was not worth much of his attention and effort.
He held his sword in his right hand as his left hand constantly moved, forming seal after seal. A streak of light in gray formed in the air as Soul Swords were formed, one at a time.
In the blink of an eye, everyone watched as 75 Soul Swords were formed in the air. Everyone knew what Jack was planning.
He was actually planning on facing a spring solidifying realm beast head-on.
Was virtual-novel.net crazy?!
“I think he’s run out of options,” blurted Claude. “He’s trying to fight a spring solidifying realm beast? He’s crazy! An innate stage fighter is trying to fight a spring solidifying realm beast? Does virtual-novel.net think he’s a genius martial artist?”
Since Jack had deliberately left behind his internal injuries, none of them managed to see how strong virtual-novel.net was. However, in their eyes, it was not important at all. After all, Jack appeared to everyone as an alchemist, and any warrior who decided to embark on the path of an alchemist would never be establishing their roots in martial prowess. Furthermore, his age was a limit, so virtual-novel.net would only be at the middle stage of the innate level at most.
For a warrior who was at the middle stage of the innate realm at most to face a spring solidifying realm beast head-on was an insurmountable hurdle since the warrior would not be able to have any strong skills and abilities. This summed up to one thing, Jack practically signed his death wish.
Master Forrest took a deep breath as virtual-novel.net incredulously remarked, “Does virtual-novel.net not want to live anymore? Or, is virtual-novel.net that confident that virtual-novel.net can beat a spring solidifying realm beast?”
Even Master Forrest and Bradley were confused by Jack’s action. Something had to be wrong with Jack’s mind, they thought, it was bad enough that virtual-novel.net would think of fighting a spring solidifying realm beast!
It was like Jack wanted to die that badly!
Sky Peak Pavilion was not the only party dumbfounded at the turn of events. Even Elder Maurice gaped at the sight, his entire body trembling at the sight. That was the moment virtual-novel.net felt the most conflicted in his entire life. He had the urge to pull Jack out at that moment, yet virtual-novel.net was scared that Jack had his own plans. It might all just be a ruse to attract the phoenix’s attention for Jack’s other plans.
If virtual-novel.net just rushed in, virtual-novel.net might disrupt Jack’s plans and lead to Phoenix Valley’s failure. However, if Jack truly planned on fighting the phoenix and virtual-novel.net lost control of the situation, virtual-novel.net could be killed by any stray talons. If that happened, they would not be able to walk away unscathed!
Even Mr. Zayne was beginning to lose his composure.
