Chapter 298: Projects-1 (1/2)

Days passed slowly. Watt, Jack, and Philip are on their journey all over the Arian challenging every cultivator possible.

They have challenged and battled many people in the Initial stages of the Grand realm, they fought with soldiers, city guards, Marquises, Military personnel everyone they could their hands on.

They are now making their way towards the Arian's imperial capital and it is mainly for Jack as he wanted to meet some people there.

There is something weird in their journey, though. They haven't met a single attacker from the six major powers, they seemed to have completely disappeared.

There are only twenty days for the six-month time period to be over, once they are done with the thing in the imperial capital, they have to start moving back to the San's city.

By now, they had a minor breakthrough and reached the second level in the Grand realm.

Everything seemed to have been going smoothly for them, but what they don't know is there is a dangerous pair of eyes that are watching them from hiding.

From a nearby tree, there is a young man, who is wearing completely black robes, even covering his face. Only, the black eyes are visible outside. There is a chain-sickle hanging on his back as he watched Watt's gang eating some roasted meat.

The young man with the chain sickle suddenly turned around and threw his chain sickle into the woods. The chain extended and the sickle seemed to have pierced into something.

He slowly walked deeper and discovered a corpse hanging on to the chain sickle as it pierced to that person's neck.

He looked around and once again started throwing the chain sickle it made a circle in the air and when pulled it back, there are some trees that crashed down as they were sliced down by the sickle.

When the trees are cleared, two more dead bodies can be seen along with the fallen trees.

He is the person who ordered the demon trio to deal with Watt and the gang, after their death, he came to here to deal with the situation himself, but to his surprise, he became interested in these three.

Since his subordinates were killed, he has to take in three new subordinates and when he saw these people, he was intrigued, they are training diligently and are participating in more and more duels. He was impressed and wanted to see their growth in the coming days.

So, the remaining major powers had a series of losses as their subordinates disappeared one after another.

They couldn't do much as they don't know who the killer is and even in the seer tower, all they could see is a person in black robes completely covering his face and a chain sickle which severed many throats.

Watt and the rest heard the commotion, but didn't react as they are inside the woods there would be beasts for sure. Since there is no aura which they could sense, they didn't take it seriously.,

The next day, they reached the capital and Jack started enquiring about somethings and had to take several permissions before they could finally reach their destination.

It is the special Imperial training academy and within that academy, there is a specific swordsman section.

This section has been established recently after the Sword Marshall and the six swords of the sword Marshall has joined the Arian.

Before they could join the force again, they have to finish ten years of teaching.

So, now there are seven incredible swordsmen in the academy and Jack is here to exchange knowledge with them.

He wanted to test his swordsmanship and the skills, he created recently against the master of the craft. They might not be of the same cultivation level, but since this is the true test of the skill, they don't need to consider the cultivation level and fight on equal terms after suppressing cultivation.

For the next week, this is his plan and as expected, he wasn't able to win any one of them. The battle experience of the seven people is not something that Jack could fathom and even when their cultivations are suppressed, Jack wasn't able to deal with them.

One of the reasons is that his skill is not as good as theirs and the second reason being their body which was reformed during their breakthrough to the Nascent.

They can change their cultivation strength to that of the Grand realm, but it is not possible to change their body condition and reduce its strength.

But Jack wasn't extremely disappointed. He took pointers on his new style of swordsmanship gained new knowledge on the flaws and suggestions on how to reduce these flaws.

After that, they started their journey back to Sam's city.
