Chapter 402 The Legendary Jacques (Part Two)


    After hearing those disturbing remarks, Jacques slowly walked to the edge of the battle ring, with his


    sharp eyes staring at Zen, and loudly and firmly said, "I want tounch a challenge against you!"


    The dare made the audience sit up in attention. They didn''t think Jacques could be so intense and


    straightforward. The disciples were merelyparing the two warriors and did not expect Jacques to


    issue a challenge to Zen.


    Many of the spectators shared the same though. ''Zen is at the second grade of nature level, while


    Jacques has broken through the Illuminating Soul Realm. Presumably, his strength will be superior


    among disciples with the strength of the same realm. But for him, to challenge Zen is quite brazen and


    almost a form of bullying.''


    In a low voice, Master Wen said, "Zen, don''t say yes!"


    He was afraid to offend Jacques. Although he was a master of Drizzle Peak, Jacques'' mentor was


    either a saint, or an elder, whose status was far higher than his.


    But Zen looked at Jacques without fear and dispassionately said, "Whether we fight or not, I follow


    Cloud Sect''s arrangement. If ording to the rules of All Peaks Competition, you and I are assigned to


    have a match, I will certainly not refuse."


    His tone and attitude riled Jacques. "Are you afraid? Ahhh, don''t worry. I won''t let anyone say I am


    trying to bully you because of my more superior power. I will adjust my strength to the nature level and


    fight you fairly!"


    He looked at Zen squarely, determination and pride burning in his eyes.


    To his surprise, Zen burst out inughter.


    "Ha! Ha! Ha!" Jacques'' words ignited his fighting spirit. Sharply, he jeered, "Me, afraid? Jacques, do


    you know what fairness is?


    I still stand by what I said previously. If we are to be assigned to the same match to fight each other,


    don''t worry for my sake, or control your power because I promise to defeat you!"


    Zen''s pronouncements made the disciples of Drizzle Peak and all other peaks inhale sharply and hold


    their breath for several seconds.


    At the same time, tens of thousands of disciples sitting in front of the Picture b also took a deep


    breath. While these disciples only had a view of Jacques on the Picture b, Zen''s words were


    delivered clearly, and everyone heard this.


    After Jacques challenged Zen, no one expected Zen to speak fearlessly or even say something as


    crazy as he did.


    After all, he was only at the second grade of nature level. How confident was he to speak that way to


    Jacques?


    But then Zen had spit out the words already. As the saying goes, spilt water cannot be gathered again.


    Hearing Zen''s words, an odd expression appeared in Jacques''s face but soon vanished. Inhaling


    deeply, he replied, "All right! If you are not eliminated in the round-robinpetition, we will have a


    chance topete. But if you are eliminated before I canpete with you, you will not be qualified to


    y with me!"

    Pride and arrogance made Jacquesy down his condition. Everyone was aware that Jacques had


    competed against several personal disciples and emerged triumphantly. His remarks were meant to tell


    Zen that he would never be defeated.


    The personal disciple had the right to be arrogant. After all, three years ago, he disyed his


    impressive fighting ability while at the second grade of nature level. At that time, however, Jacques also


    experienced a sense of powerlessness with his second-grade strength as he faced the masters of the


    Illuminating Soul Realm. Now he was equipped with the strength of Illuminating Soul Realm that


    previously gave him that sense of being powerless. So, it was only natural for him to feel confident


    about facing opponents with the same level as his.


    "Jacques!" A voice behind him boomed. "Please pay attention to the fact that your present opponent is


    me!"


    As Jacques was busy talking to Zen, the man, with a low and serious voice, stood behind the personal


    disciple, his face gloomy.


    The man was no other than the famous Stanley Pu, Azure Peak''s top disciple, at the same time, a


    master of the Illuminating Soul Realm.


    Among the 33 peaks, Azure Peak ranked fifth. This meant he was one of those possessing the most


    powerful strength, and as a top disciple of Azure Peak, Stanley was naturally proud and even arrogant.


    So it was infuriating that when Jacques stepped on the ring, hepletely ignored Stanley''s presence


    and instead went on to challenge someone at the second grade of nature level.


    To Stanley''s mind, Jacques'' behavior showed he had no regard for his present opponent at all, but


    rather saw Zen, at only the second grade of nature level, as an adversary. So how could the arrogant


    Stanley take this kind of disrespect?


    Dick lost to Zen, but Stanley was certain he would never lose to the Zen!


    When Stanley''s words finally prated Jacques'' ears, he turned around, grinned and said, "You''re my


    opponent?"


    "That''s right!" Stanley nodded to acknowledge.


    As he prepared himself to face his opponent, Stanley reached out for a golden fan, a top grade spiritual


    weapon. It was an ordinary-looking object except that it stood out because the fan glowed with golden


    light. Ayer of gold covered its surface, giving it a delicate and elegant appearance. Once it was


    unfolded, its edges became sharp as knives. A cut by the fan would be more painful than being sliced


    by a de.


    "All right," Jacques said. Inhaling deeply, he suddenly walked towards Stanley.


    Although still annoyed for being ignored by Jacques, Stanley never let his guard down as he got ready


    to begin the match. In his mind, he acknowledged Jacques'' reputation. With the strength only at the


    second grade of nature level, he challenged and defeated over half of the disciples on the Cloud Sect


    list. Now, with the strength of the Illuminating Soul Realm, the man was even more difficult to read.


    So Stanley chose tounch a pre-emptive strike. By tossing his gold fan lightly, hepletely unfolded


    the fan, enabling him to wave it around him randomly.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" The sound of the fan whipping the air had everyone''s attention.


    As Stanley''s hand flipped the golden fan rapidly, one streak of life vitality after another was being


    released by the spiritual weapon at the same time.


    Stanley''s life vitality was extremely special. He would always think of something very sharp so the life


    vitality pulled out by the golden fan did not transform into a particr object. Instead, it released a kind


    of gold thread as thin and fine as a hair strand. Had it not reflected a little golden light under the sun, it


    would have been hardly visible to the naked eye.


    Like everyone else, Zen had his eyes wide open and glued to the battle ring, watching the match


    unfold. Once before, he experienced a simr attack. It was at the trial of Bloody Mountain, where Ryan


    used his spiritual weapon to draw out a kind of indestructible line of energy. During that test, Zen


    suffered scratches all over his body from the thin lines of energy that struck him.


    Looking at the gold thread pulled out from Stanley''s fan, Zen saw it was more powerful than the thin


    lines that came out of Ryan''s spiritual weapon. Everyone in the audience waited curiously at how


    Jacques would deal with this.


    And just as they began thinking of how the personal disciple would deal with the attack, Jacques simply


    walked towards the gold threadsing from Stanley''s fan.
