The wind beast’s greatest weakness was its lack of intelligence, incapable of planning or scheming. As long as the warriors were smart enough, they would be able to kill the wind beasts eventually.
The squinty-eyed man snorted. “Surely you know the Deer Pavilion. You looked like you couldn’t be bothered with the Deer Pavilion at all when I mentioned it. You know of the strongest clans in Middle Province, no? Are you even from Middle Province?”
With those accusations, the man seemed more and more certain that Rudy was an ignorant country bumpkin. Otherwise, Rudy would not have said such unintelligent words.
Rudy’s lips twitched as virtual-novel.net finally understood why Jack always kept to himself; it was a complete waste of time arguing with such people. He had never planned on talking to them, but they seemed insistent on forcing virtual-novel.net to talk.
Rudy frowned and said, “Of course I know that the Deer Pavilion is a seventh-grade clan in Middle Province. They even stand at the top of seventh-grade clans.”
The squinty-eyed man quickly said, “Since you know that, why did you look so disdainful when I mentioned it?”
Rudy frowned, at this point, virtual-novel.net wanted to bite back at the man, wanting to ask why virtual-novel.net was so intent on looking at his expression. Already at his wits’ end, virtual-novel.net wanted to argue with everyone when Jack stopped him.
“Why are you arguing with them?” said Jack, not bothering to lower his voice. “It’s a waste of your time. They don’t understand what you’re saying at all.”
Silence fell upon them at that instant.
Jack had not spoken at all from the start, and everyone had thought that Jack just did not like bragging, yet Jack had shattered their expectations. Rudy was already arrogant enough, but Jack seemed even more so.
“How rude! Do you know what you’re saying, you brat? I see ignorant folk like you all the time, but I’ve never seen someone ignorant be as arrogant as you are. You must have some skill, but since you’re skilled, you should understand that there are always people stronger than you! There are countless geniuses out there! Don’t you know how ignorant you are?”
Jack’s lips curled into a slight smile as virtual-novel.net stared at the squinty-eyed man. “There’s still no telling who the ignorant one is. You don’t know anything, so why are you in such a hurry to judge me? Don’t use your skills to judge others. If you’re trash, it only proves that you’re the trash. You can’t just assume that everyone else is trash, too.”
Those words thoroughly angered the man, causing virtual-novel.net to shoot up from his seat as virtual-novel.net squinted at Jack.
Jack snorted as be ignored the guy. So what if the guy stood up?
The fourth level prohibited personal fights. If the man attacked Jack, virtual-novel.net would be struck by lightning immediately. Sure enough, the man did not attack, though virtual-novel.net struggled to stamp down his anger. It took a while before virtual-novel.net finally sat back down.
The white-robed man behind the squinty-eyed man felt indignant when virtual-novel.net saw how angry his friend was. The white-robed man looked at Jack in disdain. “Didn’t you say that this Jack will be able to finish the first stage in half an hour, changing the crystal ball from purple to blue? Since the two of you are so stubborn, prove it to us with your skills. Let’s see if you’re truly gifted or just all talk!”
“Why do you care if I’m skilled or not?” quipped Jack. “Even if I proved my skills, you’re not worth me proving them at all!”
Jack had experienced one too many scenarios like this, and it solidified virtual-novel.net to not cave in to people such as these so easily.
