Chapter 44: Currency System (1/2)

While he had not yet started practising, Jake mediated on the words of Knight. Knight was like a workaholic, he practised day and night, but he still did not break through. He got everything right; the technique, the physique, but not the mind.

He didn't think like a sword coming out of its sheath!

'I will also have to be careful with my mental state,' cautioned Jake.

'Andrew said something about a courtyard for practising techniques. I can go there after the preliminary stage….that is, if I pass the stage. I have a feeling it wouldn't take long for me to achieve the first stage and with my cultivation at [Stage 3 Morning Dew Realm], i might be able to clinch a winning spot in the competition.'

Jake thought about a lot of things. He thought about his next action, his goal, his path, and his future plans.

He realized that all of it was hazy and unclear. He didn't know anything about this world, and the people in Pinesun city were like cavemen. They barely knew anything.

As a cultivator, he was required to occasionally adventure, to taste the euphoria of death.

However, no matter how he thought it, Aztec Kingdom wasn't enough for him. With his rate of improvement, he would probably get to the third realm before next year, and then what would he do?

Where would he go? He barely knew the Southern Continent and it was said that Aztec Kingdom was the strongest kingdom in the continent.

How would he survive? The currency system might not be the same as the other kingdom.

In Aztec, there were three currencies; copper, bronze, and gold. A thousand copper would make one bronze.

A thousand bronze would make one gold.

A thousand gold would make a rich man.

Even with months of hunting and saving, Jake barely had fifty gold. How would he survive without much money.

All these questions swimmed around Jake's head, as he realized he was all alone. He didn't have any help and he doesn't need one.

For now, he should focus on the competition, and plan his next step after that.

'There is no point in worrying. There is nothing I can do,' thought.

So, for the first time in a while, Jake slept.

...….

”Wake up, Wakey Wakey!” a voice shouted.

It pierced through Jake's dream, but he got repelled back as the dream was too strong.

The dream was a scene of Jake, looking evil, as he proceeded to kill many people. Screams could be heard as Jake shot out purple energy out of his.

The energy destroyed the earth around him, killing the people, leaving no remain, and Jake watched as he caused more chaos...

”Damn it! Jake, wake up! We are here,” the voice screamed into Jake's ear.

This time, it managed to awake Jake from his terrifying dreams

Feeling groggy, he slowly opened his eyes, 'Hmm, what was that all about?'

He was all too familiar with that scene. It happened when Jake removed all his inhibitions and went crazy. He caused so much destruction. However, he didn't feel guilty about it.

As there was no time to think, Jake put the dream at the back of his head.
