Chapter 131


    “It''s all right. Bring it on. It will at most make me feel as if I''m bitten by a dog, I guess,” Polly said.


    Upon hearing that, Jonathan felt a little discouraged. “Come on. Polly, can''t you at least let me enjoy


    this?”


    Letting out a chuckle, Polly responded, ”All right. I was just teasing you.” Jonathan felt much relieved to


    see herughing again.


    She then fixed her gaze on Jonathan and stated, “You may start now.”


    Under her gaze, Jonathan became shy. “Polly, can you close your eyes?”


    Polly closed her eyes as she was told.


    Her lips looked captivating under the moonlight. Jonathan could no longer hold back his desire.


    Climbing over, he immediately snaked his arm around Polly''s waist.


    At that moment, he could feel Polly shuddering under his touch. It was obvious that she felt nervous


    about this.


    He did not dare to drag this any longer, and he abruptly pressed a kiss to Polly''s lips, causing the


    woman to widen her eyes in panic.


    She subconsciously wanted to shove Jonathan away, but the man''s embrace around her was too tight


    for her to resist. Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Polly felt disgusted at Jonathan''s actions, as she was somewhat reminded of what had happened


    during her childhood.


    Suddenly, Jonathan reached his tongue inside her mouth.


    A... A deep kiss!


    Instantly, Polly''s mind went nk.


    The kiss was long, and Polly soon felt the space around her spinning.


    After a long while, Jonathan finally let go of Polly.


    Polly''s cheeks were flushed, evidently shy.


    Initially, Jonathan wanted to tease her about her reaction, but he felt sorry for her instead. “Polly, this is


    the best I can do. You don''t have to thank me.”


    Suddenly, Polly leaped down andnded swiftly. She sat there with her legs crossed and shut her eyes.


    At that moment, Jonathan felt something was weird about her.


    This is an evolving progress.


    Before he kissed Polly, she was like a nk paper about romantic rtionships. After kissing her, she


    seemed to have understood something about a romantic rtionship, and she seemed to have gotten


    rid of the traumatic experience she had when she was a child. In other words, it was as if a child who


    had never been injected before would develop a fear for needles, thinking that an injection would be


    excruciating. Then, after getting an injection, the child would realize that injections were not as terrifying


    and painful as they had imagined.


    Thus, it was safe to say that Polly was not that disgusted about men anymore.


    However, it did not take long for Polly to return to being a nk paper again, which also meant that


    Polly was now in the third stage in life, where she was back to the basics.


    Not too long after, there were changes in Polly''s body again—the changes of aura.


    There was a vast aura around her, which had not only infected the nts around her but also


    Jonathan.


    This was also Polly''s force field.


    Jonathan''s force field was the Great Sage Seal, which could make him destroy everything that stood in


    his way.


    Polly''s force field was an aura simr to the Heavenly Law, which was ruthless and irresistible.


    This was a terrifying force field, and it was much more powerful than Jonathan''s.


    Therefore, Polly had finally stepped into the Nascent Soul at that moment. There was a holy and clean


    aura around her, circting air of innocence while also eliminating the turbid air.


    Polly began to reform her vitality, and she seeded an hourter.


    Opening her eyes again, Polly stood up. She could barely hide the excitement in her eyes.


    Jonathan also leaped down and remarked excitedly, “Polly, congrattions on finally achieving the


    breakthrough! Judging by your force field that resembles the Heavenly Law, I''m sure your


    achievements in the future will be unparalleled!”


    It was not a ttery as Jonathan was telling the truth.


    They looked at each other and smiled.


    Finally, they could be at ease about the match the following day. Although the two of them had just


    achieved the Nascent Soul, they had already umted a lot from before. Once they had reached a


    breakthrough, they could level up their cultivation at a terrifying speed.


    It was as if an elementary kid was going for an exam after spending thest ten years studying. By


    then, the kid''s foundation of knowledge would be more than enough for him to feel at ease to advance


    to middle school education.


    With that, Jonathan and Polly headed back.


    At two o''clock in the morning, Jonathan sent Polly back to Pearl Hotel in Jipsdale. He nned to head


    to Falbriand Hotelter to find Jennifer, but he ran into Amber instead in the corridor.


    Amber had not gone to sleep yet as she was waiting for Jonathan.


    Jonathan did not dare mention that he wanted to find Jennifer either because he did not want Amber


    scolding him. Seeing that Jonathan looked lively, Amber quickly asked if he was feeling better.


    Jonathan then revealed to her that he and Polly had already achieved the breakthrough. There was


    nothing for them to worry about for the match the following day.


    Amber was happy to hear that. Heaving a sigh of relief, she felt much of her tension relieved. Then she


    let out a yawn and uttered, “I''m sleepy. You should go get some rest and conserve more energy for


    tomorrow.”


    Jonathan was slightly touched by that. “Sure. You go get some sleep too.”


    With that, Amber turned around and returned to her room.


    Jonathan also went back to his room. When he was inside, he took out his phone right after. There


    were three missed calls and a text message from Jennifer asking what had happened to him.


    Returning the call, he exined everything to Jennifer. He also told her he wanted toe to her


    room. However, Jennifer said over the phone, “It''s gettingte now. You should get some rest. I''m tired


    too. Bye.” With that, she ended the call.


    Jonathan felt helpless, and he could tell by Jennifer''s tone that she was mad at him.


    It was indeed wrong of him to ke on her that night, so he could understand her being angry at him.


    Thinking about that, Jonathan was too flustered to go to her. He was also feeling exhausted. Thus, he


    lay in bed without taking a shower and soon drifted off to sleep.


    The next morning, Jonathan was awakened by his phone''s ringtone, indicating an iing message.


    Taking his phone, he saw a text message from Jennifer, which wrote: Jonathan, I''m noting to


    watch your final match. Instead, I''ll be preparing a celebratory feast at home for you. Don''t be


    distracted. Also, I''m not mad at you. Remember, your victory today will be the most fantastic present for


    me.


    Jonathan smiled at the message. Setting his phone aside, he went back to bed.


    The sun that day was particrly dazzling.


    It was also thest day of the Golden Sword Tournament. After the intense battles over the past couple


    of days, only a few fighters were left for the final day.


    Thest elimination match was held today, and this was also the cruelest battle of the tournament.


    Strikezone Martial Arts was all geared up, whereas Jonathan and Polly were also in high spirits.


    This was a battle between the strongest.


    At noon, the audience was all seated in the stadium. Jonathan''s group also got seated as well.


    Jonathan''s group then learned the results fromst evening''s battle, where Leonardo had defeated


    three experts.


    So far, there were twelve experts yet to be eliminated from the tournament, including Jonathan, Polly,


    Jareth, Leonardo, Micah, Ss Lawrence, and more.


    The huge screen started flickering wildly.


    This time, it was the battle between Jonathan and Micah.


    Micah was Morgan''s son, and thetter was seated among the spectators. Morgan had high hopes for


    his son.


    Also, Jessica called Micah her uncle. It was enough evidence to prove that they were close.


    Right after Jonathan stood up, Jessica immediately grabbed his hand and whispered into his ear. He


    could smell her sweet scent from this distance; her scent was enough to intoxicate a man.


    However, her words were theplete opposite of her sweet scent. “Jonathan, don''t you dare harm


    my Uncle Micah.”


    Hearing that, Jonathanughed. “Sure. I''ll hold back my strength against your dear uncle. But then,


    what happens if your uncle decides to kill me?”


    Jessica did not know what to say. She was clearly caught in a dilemma, as she did not want Micah to


    be in trouble, nor would she want Jonathan to be in danger. Thus, she struggled to find the right words


    to say.


    Jonathan noticed her eyes reddening as she looked conflicted. He realized he had gone overboard with


    his teasing. However, at the same time, he was also moved by that. Pinching Jessica''s cheeks lightly,


    he smiled. “Silly girl, don''t worry. I will hold back against your uncle, and I won''t let him hurt me, either.”


    With that said, he stepped onto the stage.


    Jonathan would not have the confidence to promise Jessica this if this had happened a day before.


    However, he was now a Nascent Soul. It would be a piece of cake for him to defeat Micah.


    In the ring, Jonathan and Micah stood across from each other.


    Jonathan''s gaze was as gentle as the spring breeze, and he looked harmless. Micah could not assess


    Jonathan''s cultivation from afar.


    If others could not see through his cultivation, that would mean that Jonathan was already a Nascent


    Soul


    Being an experienced man in battles, Micah soon realized that, and his eyes flickered a little. “Master


    Lawson, are you perhaps already a Nascent Soul?”


    “I was lucky enough to have reached the breakthrough yesterday, Master Hayes,” the other man


    responded.


    Upon hearing that, Micah smiled wryly. “It seems inevitable for me to be eliminated today.” He paused


    before continuing, “But that doesn''t mean I''m admitting defeat. Standing on this battle ring is our fate as


    fighters. If the other masters did not admit defeat during the previous battles, I''m not in the right ce


    to surrender, either.”


    Jonathan smiled. “Bring it on, then, Master Hayes!”


    Micah''s eyes flickered, and he immediately made a move.


    His moves were swift, and a gust of wind swept over following his movements. Right after, he reached


    out his Tuna m and struck it toward Jonathan''s chest.


    His Tuna m enabled him to move as swiftly as the tuna in the seas, and his speed was as fast as a


    bolt of lightning. The attack was also apanied by a strong and indestructible spiraling force.


    Even so, Jonathan remained calm at Micah''s attack. Then, all of a sudden, he made a move, and it


    was the Veins Cutting Palm.


    The Veins Cutting Palm was immacte, with unrivaled precision.


    Taken aback, Micah quickly retracted his arm.


    “I''m sorry, Master Hayes!” Jonathan eximed before stepping forward and throwing his Hammer Fist


    at Micah''s abdomen.


    The Hammer Fist was incredibly wless. Micah swiftly retreated, but his dodge was still a little toote.


    Left with no choice, he could only use his Heart Crushing Punch to block the attack.


    With a loud crashing sound, their fists collided.


    Forced to retreat three whole steps backward, Micah felt his vitality going out of control.


    Jonathan had used his Nascent Soul strength in his fists, and his attack was so sudden that no one


    could possibly block it.


    “Master Hayes, thank you,” said Jonathan. He did not intend to continue with his attacks.


    Micah knew very well that Jonathan had held back his strength against him. Besides that, he was


    aware that he would only be humiliating himself in public if he continued fighting Jonathan.


    Thus, he sped his fists and uttered, “Master Lawson, I hereby admit that I''ve been defeated.” With


    that, he walked down the ring.


    This was undoubtedly Jonathan''s victory.


    In the spectators'' seat, Morgan had to admit that Jonathan''s growth and improvement were incredibly


    fast.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan returned to his seat.


    Grinning at him, Jessica stated, “That''s more like it.”


    Jonathan smiled at that but did not say anything. To him, family and friends were the most important.
