Chapter 1415
Fade returned Jasmine''s grin with a nod. "Hertzel is ate-stage ck Level martial artist, thus he
is two levels higher than you. Not only that, he has a lot of battle experience. You might be able to
win if you were to fight him head- on, but you''ll definitely be heavily injured then. That was why I
taught you to put your Green Wood Spirit to good use and nt vital vines on the wooden floor
beforehand. By using the poison created from your positive energy to control him, you''ll be able to
win the battle unscathed."
She bobbed her head and suddenly whipped up her head as she thought of something. "But Mr.
Chen, I''ve already tipped my hand in this battle. If I were to fight against other powerful opponents
in the next few rounds, I''m afraid they''ll be prepared for it. It''ll be difficult for me to advance any
further now."
Fade smiled and replied, "You''ve already done a good job by making it this far. After all, the
remaining contestants that made it into the final rounds are eitherte-stage or even peak-stage
ck Level martial artists. It''s understandable if you can''t defeat them."
He paused and continued, "You must learn to grasp the rhythm when the timees. If you think
that you are no match to the opponent, then admit defeat. I brought you here to practice, not to risk
your life. Do you understand?"
Her facial expression was regretful, but she still nodded her head seriously.
In the meantime, thepetition went on. However, the crowd had lost interest in the uing
battles. They were still not over Jasmine''s performance earlier.
After all, who wouldn''t be amazed when a stunning beauty like Jasmine had won three rounds of
battle in a row? Especially when her performance in the third round was so spectacr.
Even the masters seated in the VIP area were impressed by her skills, and they began to show their
interest in her.
"That girl looks younger than twenty years old! As a ck Level beginner, she managed to defeat
middle-stage andte-stage ck Level martial artists. She has great potential. I want to recruit her
into my team."
"It''s not umon for a 20-year-old martial artist to achieve early-stage ck Level. However, her
skills and technique are really unique. She deserves all the attention."
"Turning positive energy into vines and toxins, these strategies are unpredictable. It is such a rare
sight!"
Even Galeno, one of the superiors, turned towards Fade and Jasmine with interest. "Fade, correct
me if I''m wrong, but Little Zhuo has a wood-ss physique, and she has the wood-spirit talent."
He nodded. "You are very observant, Master Zhu."
He didn''t mention Jasmine''s Green Wood Spirit. Her wood-spirit talent was already rare and highly
coveted, not to mention that her Green Wood Spirit was the rarest of all. She was gifted with a
unique physique. If it was exposed, it would inevitably attract unwanted attention, which would not
be good for her.
Then, Master Zhu turned to Jasmine and asked, "Little Zhuo, are you interested in joining the
Martial Arts League? If yes, then I will ept you as my disciple. What do you say?"
The guests around them were amazed by his offer. They immediately turned around to look at him,
surprise and admiration painted on their faces.

Everyone knew who Galeno was. He was the Martial Arts League''s leader and one of the masters
on the Divine Dragon List. It was many young martial artists'' dreams to be his disciple.
The crowd around them stared at Jasmine anxiously as they waited for her to ept his offer.
However, she looked hesitant. Her eyes darted between Fade and Galeno as she considered it.
Finally, she shook her head and answered, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhu. However,
I''ve already acknowledged Mr. Chen as my teacher. Therefore, I can''t..."
Galeno did not insist. He tilted his chin and said, "If that''s the case, then I won''t persuade you
anymore. Of course, if you need any help in the future, you can alwayse to the Martial Arts
League and ask for my help."
"Thank you, Master Zhu!" Jasmine thanked him respectfully.
The onlookers were dumbfounded; their eyes grew three sizes wider, and their jaws dropped open.
They were going crazy over Jasmine''s decision.
They couldn''t understand why she would choose Fade over Galeno to be her master. In their
opinion, Fade could neverpare with him.
Although he held an empty title of Dragon List''s number one, his strength was still far inferior to
Galeno''s.
However, Jasmine would rather give up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and chose to be Fade''s
disciple instead. The people around them scratched their heads in bafflement. They couldn''t figure
out the reason she did this.
Once again, Fade and Jasmine became the focus of everyone''s attention.
Someone from the crowd shouted at her to persuade her into epting Galeno''s offer. Others
med Fade for being too selfish. They urged him to let go of her so that she could leave him to
receive better guidance.
Fade shrugged them off and continued to watch thepetition.
The third round of matches ended very quickly. Next up would be the fourth round, and this was
also the match that everyone was very interested in. This was because there were only sixteen
candidates left after the third round.
After the fourth round, the top eight of the ck Level category would be determined, and they
would be rewarded with corresponding prizes. To reach the top eight was considered the final goal
for many participants.
As usual, the fourth round would still be one-on-one matches. Jasmine got the number 16 this time,
and she would be in thest pair to
Those who made it into the top 16 were mostlyte- stage and peak- stage ck Level martial
artists. Jasmine was one of the rare ones to join them in this stage as a ck Level beginner.
One after another, the matches ended. Finally, it was once again Jasmine''s turn.
As the dark horse in the ck Level category, she was the center of everyone''s attention. As soon
as she stepped onto the stage, the audience immediately cheered in excitement, whereas some
discussed her performance.
However, when her opponent stood up from his seat, the excited cheers turned into exmations
and worried tones.
Fade raised a curious eyebrow and was confused. "What is going on?"
"Jasmine''s opponent for this round is Egas Lin. He is a well- known talent among the younger
generation of martial artists in Capital City. He achieved the peak of ck Level at only 18 years
old. In the previous three rounds ofpetition, he defeated his opponents with only a single move.
He did not give his opponent any chance to fight back," Lucille exined.
"By the way, Egas was adopted by the Chiang family, and he grew up with them since he was little.
Technically, he is Faxon''s younger brother."
Fade frowned at the information. He raised his head and nced towards Egas'' seat.
Sure enough, he was sitting right next to Faxon. Egas lowered his head as he leaned towards
Faxon, and it seemed like Faxon was whispering something to him. After a while, he stood up and
strode towards the fighting ring.
Faxon seemed to have noticed Fade''s gaze. He turned his head and looked over at him, and the
corners of his lips curled into a sneer.
