“The phoenix was no match for virtual-novel.net at all… That brat managed to kill a phoenix so easily that it died in just two moves! This is far too absurd!”
Everyone felt their hearts quivering upon hearing Master Forrest’s words.
It truly was far too absurd. If they had not witnessed it firsthand, they would never have believed it happened. They were not able to see Jack’s skills up until this very moment. However, from what Jack had shown, virtual-novel.net had already broken through the spring solidifying realm.
Was virtual-novel.net not an alchemist?
When could alchemists ever walk so far as a martial artist, or have that much talent?
Before Jack entered, everyone knew of Jack’s physical age. In a limited time, not only did Jack become so accomplished in alchemy, but even his martial arts did not fall behind. It was far too inconceivable. Jack’s results needed immense amounts of talent.
Even Elder Maurice could not believe what virtual-novel.net had seen. He genuinely thought Jack would perish in that fight, knowing that the phoenix was in the spring solidifying realm. However, everything that had happened after exceeded his assumptions.
After a long time, Elder Maurice suddenly turned to look at Mr. Zayne, who also shared his shocked expression. It was safe to say that he, too, did not know Jack had that skill.
Elder Maurice grabbed Mr. Zayne‘s arm. “You were the one who brought Jack into Phoenix Valley back then. Do you not know anything about virtual-novel.net at all?”
Mr. Zayne gulped, his face etched with conflict and shock. He smiled bitterly and said, “I had thought that I understood virtual-novel.net quite well, but I stand corrected. I had judged Jack by my own metrics. I really never expected virtual-novel.net to be so strong of a fighter. With his skills, he’d be a top-tier disciple even among the warriors of the outer valley.”
Bradley’s eyes glinted with derangement as virtual-novel.net snarled, “He’s not an alchemist; virtual-novel.net can’t be! If he’s an alchemist, then something is wrong somewhere, believe it. There’s definitely something wrong with him!”
Before this, Bradley’s ‘meltdowns’ were more due to virtual-novel.net acting out of bitterness, but it was genuine at this moment, seeing as Jack constantly one-upped virtual-novel.net every time in every shape and form.
He could not accept it at all.
Master Forrest frowned. Even virtual-novel.net knew that Bradley could no longer stand it. In truth, virtual-novel.net was already at rock bottom as well, but virtual-novel.net could not allow Bradley‘s meltdown to regress into a much darker state.
Master Forrest took a deep breath. “Calm down. Haven’t you heard that there’s always a mountain higher? Even if you go completely crazy, you can’t overturn his results.”
Those words seemed to be a splash of cold water upon Bradley’s frantic heart. He froze as both of his hands shook slightly. He knew that virtual-novel.net had lost his composure, but virtual-novel.net could not possibly compose himself.
It was not just Bradley, all of the participants were in a similar state as well after seeing Jack’s results. They initially had better control over their mental state, but the aftermath of Jack’s short-lived battle with the phoenix sent them into a frenzy of discussions as well after Bradley lost control.
Claude raised his voice, saying, “Now I’m wondering if I’m dreaming. Jack is already at the spring solidifying realm. No wonder I could never see how strong virtual-novel.net was… He purposely hid his skills from us!”
