Chapter 287: Jacks Battle (1/2)

After fifteen days.

Arthur and the remaining two are still tied down in the same room and for their dismay, the dead body wasn't even removed, not being able to access their spiritual energy due to their cultivation being sealed, they are almost starving to death.

Sam didn't even bother to let them eat to their fill, only giving them some bread at a random time, he has more important things to do.

On this day, he came back with three recording crystals in his hands.

His bone throne is left there intimidating them further, they weren't able to see the throne clearly when they first saw, so they couldn't identify the material. But after fifteen days, they clearly saw what kind of materials were used and that gave them chills.

Arthur was sweating buckets with barely any sleep. He has been in odds with Sam many times and he was afraid what would happen if Sam wanted to settle scores.

He might become an extra decoration for this chair.

At this moment, there was a table placed in front of them on which Sam placed three recording crystals.

”Arthur, before we discuss the deal, I have something to show you and you can decide if your information is valuable or not.”

As he said, he activated the first crystal and Jack's figure popped up. At this moment, he is still sitting under the waterfall. But he is not in the same state as before.

He was covered by a think aura and even though, it is a recording they can still feel the sharpness of it.

This is a video recorded after a week of Jack's training.

At that moment, he was countering the waterfalls with nothing but his sharp sword aura which he developed over the week.

In a week he became a person who can only deduce a single movement to the point of countering it.

As Jack was still training, suddenly a person appeared in the scene and a spear was shot at him.

As the spear zoomed in, the surrounding people became alert and looked at the attacker. There a young man stood with a smirk on his face as he looked Jack coldly.

Jack didn't move, as the spear moved towards him in an extremely high speed. But just before it could touch his face, he raised his hand and held the spear in its place by holding the spear head. The sharp tip just stopped in front on his nose with only a hair's breadth. His palm which held the spear head was cut open and blood dripped from it.

He opened his eyes and looked at the person coldly. His face was completely filled with anger and frustration due to the disturbance.

He slowly stood up and stretched his body and came out of the waterfall. His body was still wet and his pants are almost shredded. His body was full of scars that were left by the waterfall.

He made his way downwards as he held the spear with his left hand and the Black Meteorite sword in his right.

He observed the attacker as he watched him closely, He is a person who seemed to be a Level-2 Grand realm cultivator.

”You better have a damn good reason for what you did.” Jack said in a low voice. His throat felt husky as he didn't speak for more than a week.

”Or what? What are you going to do about it?” The attacker laughed it off sarcastically.

”Well, you will see in no time.” Jack threw the spear to him and held the sheathed sword by his hip.

The tension in the air grew and the attacker sneered at Jack's words. Purple lightning crackled around him as he waved his spear. He swung the spear and made a piercing motion.

Jack moved his body and dodged it fluidly. His movements were extremely smooth and looked almost slow motion.

But it is actually extremely fast. He didn't even bother to unsheathe his sword and just dodged it.

He still remembered the time when they are on the island and have to worry about being attacked by every single beast. He couldn't even dream about fighting a Level-5 beast much less killing it.

Now, he is going on toe to toe with a person who has strength equal to that of an initial stage Level-5 beast.

He now understood how Sam used to battle those higher than his level. He used the maximum potential his body and the spirtual core, cultivation level, his techniques could offer.

Now, with his Peak Great realm cultivation along with his tempered body, he is sure that he can defeat this person. In fact, he is so confident that he can visualize his winning.

But the power gap is not that easily surpassed and the only thing he can do is rely on technique.

Jack halted his movement after dodging repeated strikes. This time he held the hilt if his sword and just before the spear could strike him, he unsheathed it. The sheathe disappeared into the storage.

The sword hit the spear tip with a blinding light stopping the lightning that was about to strike him, but it was not just defence. The blade tilted a bit when he blocked it and the blinding light that covered the sword a few moments ago flew past the spear in a miraculous curve and hit the opponent squarely on the chest.
