Chapter 335: Ceaseless Murder Globe
After Don Cranxiao left, Jack remained silent for a moment. Then, he squatted next to Dorman. Are you alright?
Yeah, Dorman coughed out in response. If anything, he looked more sad than hurt. Sorry. This is my fault.
You did nothing wrong, Jack placed a hand on the young mans shoulder. If anything, you stood up for me. I will remember that. I also want to apologizebefore, I thought youd stolen that treasure because of greed. I didnt understand what youve been going through.
Its okay. Im used to it.
Dormans words werent offensive, just plain true. He was just a teenager when Earth got Integrated, a teenager with an incomplete understanding of the world. He strove forward and reached great strength, ending in the top four of the Integration Tournament. Even after he joined Sage and the Black Hole Church, he remained alone in his mind.
So now, when he repeatedly failed and was beaten down, he suffered alone as well.
Jack gave a sad smile. Can you walk?
In a few moments. My regeneration will kick in soon.
Good. When youre ready, Ill walk you to your cabin.
Dorman chuckled darkly. I have no cabin.
No?
I am only a guest of the Church. If I want to stay somewhere, I have to pay for it. Ive been living in the fields for the last few months.
Jacks heart clenched. To a cultivator, staying in a cabin or outside made little difference. However, the mental consolation of four walls and a roof was priceless. It represented safety and privacy.
Dorman really had it rough.
Youll be staying with me and Brock from now on, Jack said.
What? I
It wasnt a question. Youre staying with us. I know a cabin may be crowded for three people, but having at least some privacy is infinitely better than none at all.
But its your cabin! I havent earned it. I cant accept it.
You dont need to. As I said, it wasnt a question. Jack smiled brightly. Now, up you go.
He supported Dorman by the shoulders and pushed him up. Eventually, after a lot of heaving and panting, the now-fat man managed to stand. Thanks, he said. Life is difficult when youre wide.
Tell me about it, Jack replied, wiping his forehead. Raising a mountain of fat in thousandfold gravity was not for the faint of heart. He struggled to imagine how Dorman could even walk.
His mind cut directly to the scene of Don Cranxiao easily holding up Dorman with one hand. His gaze darkened.
Can you walk? Jack asked again. This time, Dorman nodded, and the two of them got started on the way back.
Throughout all of this, the buff-old-lady Envoy remained completely unmoved thirty feet to the side. She hadnt raised a finger.
Do you have confidence? Dorman asked after theyd left. Against Cranxiao, I mean. I know you arent stupid. Since you offered a duel, you probably have a plan.
Jack nodded. The Sage promised to help me break through in six months. If I can convince him to move it up to three, then Im confident.
You know, Cranxiao is a genius, too. Everyone here is. Hes only an early C-Grade, but he can fight almost like a late one.
I can fight like an early C-Grade right now. If I break through, I got him.
Dormans eyes widened. For real?
For real.
That was right up his alley.
The djinn looked at him with pity. Entering at only the peak D-Grade is pointless, she advised. Youll just get injured and have to recuperate.
She didnt seem particularly warm to Jackafter all, she hadnt given him her namebut she at least offered him an honest warning. Jack inwardly sighed in relief. After meeting Ley Vice, Marcus William, and Don Cranxiao in quick succession, hed begun suspecting that everyone here was an asshole. It was great to know that was not the case.
Every faction had good and bad apples, especially one as competitive as the Black Hole Church.
Thank you for the warning, he replied. My self-healing is pretty good, so it shouldnt be a problem. I just want to see where I stand.
The three cultivators exchanged glances. In their eyes, Jack was just an upstart who was used to being a genius in his home faction. Many people were arrogant when they arrived at the Cathedral, but with the exception of some truly monstrous talents, all of them were quickly humbled.
Suit yourself, the mosquitoid said. Its voice was buzzing. Just be careful. You cant die in the globe, but you can be severely injured. If you cant take it anymore, just yell that you give up.
I will. Thank you very much, Jack said, nodding at the three cultivators before heading for the globe.
Ah, wait a moment! the djinn shouted behind him. Our friend is inside. You have to wait your turn.
Oh, okay.
Jack stopped and waited. The three cultivators didnt seem very willing to include him in their conversation, so he just awkwardly stood by the side. Well, to each their own, he thought and sat down cross-legged to meditate. While he couldnt increase his power any more before breaking through, he could ponder on the Dao of the Fist.
Three minutes later, the globe rumbled. Its door slid upward, revealing a dark opening from which a human walked out. Though he was handsome, his hair was disheveled, his pink robes were torn in places, and he was panting.
Youre out! the djinn woman exclaimed, rushing to greet him. How did it go!?
The man smiled. Wait and see.
All four of them turned towards the obelisk. Jack, following their gazes, looked over as well.
In that moment, the obelisk gave a low rumble. The names on its lower half turned fuzzy, some magic moving them. Before Jacks shocked eyes, one name rose by around forty places, eventually stopping at the number 793. The name was Osmu Sosmu.
You did it! the djinn woman exclaimed. Top eight hundred! This is amazing, Osmu! You can leave now!
The handsome man revealed a bright smile. In truth, since hed just broken into the middle C-Grade, reaching 793 was not particularly impressive. It was even towards the lower end.
However, that mattered little because he was finally in the top eight hundred. He could use the teleporters to return to his home galaxy and see his family!
The four cultivators celebrated, not paying much attention to Jack. He wasnt too bothered, either. The one whod just exited the globe was the strongest of the four, but he was only ranked 793th. Cranxiao was 811th. Even if Jack befriended these people, they would never help him stop Cranxiao from bullying Dorman, as their relative strengths were too close. He needed to find someone ranked far higher than Cranxiao.
Still, Jack was a cordial man.
Congratulations, he said, standing slowly. I only just arrived, but I suspect that is an excellent result!
Jack didnt know what the rankings signified yet. He had mistaken the other cultivators excitement and assumed that the handsome man had done great, when he actually hadnt. As a result, the man only gave him an odd glance before replying, Thanks.
Jack didnt bother anymore. He approached the entrance of the globe, where the managing Envoy told him the rules. Basically, the formation would stop either when he was about to die or when he yelled that he gave up. Until then, he had to kill as many opponents as he could.
Can my ranking drop? Jack asked. After all, he was currently ranked 950th, but reaching that level through the globe sounded difficult.
That cannot happen, the Envoy replied, giving him an odd look. The only way for your ranking to drop is for others to surpass you.
I see. Thank you.
Jack nodded and stepped inside the open door, which closed behind him.
As for the other four cultivators, after exchanging glances with each other, they didnt leave yet. They wanted to see how Jack would do. Mostly, however, they wanted to see his reaction when he exited, and possibly comfort him a bit to ensure he wasnt traumatized by this failure.
After all, unless it was someone ridiculously gifted, a peak D-Grade couldnt defeat even the first opponent inside the globe.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
