Chapter 336: Fighting Shadows
Jack stepped into the Ceaseless Murder Globe and looked around; besides a giant lamp stuck to the roof, there was nothing. Only black stone as far as the eye could see.
The lamplight fell down like a curtain, illuminating nothing but the center of the globe. Of course, any C or D-Grade cultivator could use their perception to see perfectly well in the darknessthis lamp was probably meant to accommodate the users of light or darkness-oriented Daos.
The globe had air inside it, but it was silent. Completely silent. Jack walked to the center, his steps echoing like gongs. The feeling was almost reverent, as if hed stumbled into the basement of a church where he absolutely shouldnt be. The heavy air was pregnant with danger.
The moment his feet touched the light, a ripple of energy spread over the globe, and the magic formation activated. Jack only sensed the Dao gathering like a storm opposite him. It coalesced into a humanoid shape, a warrior wielding a longsword. The shape had no featuresit was a ghost formed of the Dao. Its body was just a shadow.
Its cultivation was at the early C-Grade, and a weak one, too. This ghost was close to the bottom of all C-Grades, but it remained a C-Grade.
Without saying anything, it charged. Its feet produced dull thuds on the stoneits sword left no shadow. It reached Jack in an instant and cleaved down.
Jacks face blossomed with a grin. This was it. This feeling of urgent threat, the surging blood, the heat in his chest, the ice in his brain. This was the battle he was made for.
He clenched his fist and smashed it forward. His middle knuckle met the sword blade, and a sharp pain traveled up his arm as if his bones were jittery. His knuckle bled, but it was fine. A moment later, the wound had disappeared.
The sword was pushed back. Jacks grin widened.
The gap between the D and C Grades was wide. Bridging it to fight was almost impossible. The cultivators outside had been reasonable to assume that Jack, a peak D-Grade, couldnt defeat even the first and weakest opponent in the Ceaseless Murder Globe.
But they didnt know Jack. They didnt know about his perfect foundation and alignment with his Dao. They didnt know about his collection of high-level System titles. They didnt know about the disasters hed survived and the skills hed gained in the process.
Even without the Life Drop, Jack was close to the limit of what D-Grades could achieve. It was time to test that.
His figure flashed through the globe. His steps blurred, his punches shot out like meteors. Explosions rumbled. Fist met blade over and over, sparks rising when neither gave way. Jack and the figure seemed equally matched. After twenty exchanges, Jack focused inward.
His Dao Domain burst out, a purple sea of stars. Fist-shaped meteors sailed through the void, circling Jack, while the stars fell close to his body and formed a constellation. His fists clenched harderready to pounce.
In his Domain, Jack was king.
However, to his surprise, the ghost released a domain of its own. A sharp, metallic gray covered the globe, contesting against his purple. Every gust of wind and every air vibration turned into a blade as even the air was sliced apart. The ghosts sword flared with sharp light.
Jack exclaimed in wonder. This ghost had a Dao of its own!
This is even more interesting!
Jack had planned to end this quickly so he could see what opponents lay aheadbut now, he just wanted to fight. If this shadow could use skills as well, it would be a worthy challenge.
His feet tread on stone, bringing him before the ghost. Their domains clashed and ground against each other, each pressing harder now that their sources were nearby. The gray domain released a shrill scream, like a sword grinding on stone. The purple one produced a series of booms like a hundred fists striking out at once.
As Jack approached the ghost, he held nothing back besides the Life Drop. Brutalizing Aura erupted from his body, instantly piercing into the shadows psyche. Just like a real cultivator, it respondeda hint of dread appeared in its heart, reducing its power and increasing Jacks.
At the same time, the domains purple light focused around Jacks fist, pulsing with increased intensity. He reared it back. The purple light was drawn deeper inside the fist, spiking in intensity and explosiveness. It combusted into purple flames that were barely held at bay. Faint purple stars trailed behind the punch.
He shot it forward. The ghost, sensing the power of this attack, slashed out as well. Its blade blurred as if there were three swords coming at once. It had to be a skill.
Mid-swing, Jack used a small part of his Dao to punch through space itself. He wanted to teleport behind the shadow, but he failed. Space here was hard! If it was normally a curtain he could part, it was now a wall he had to drill through.
Seeing the triple sword approach, he roared out and poured even more power into teleporting. He almost failed. Space finally cracked open. Jack was sucked inside just as the three swords slashed through his previous location. He reappeared behind the ghost, only now completing his swing.
To its credit, the ghost reacted in time, ducking to avoid his punch. However, that was easier said than done. Meteor Punch impacted the air right above its head, all that compressed power erupting at once. This strike contained momentum and terrible striking power, but it also included an explosion powered by the great compression of Jacks Dao.
As this explosion rang out, the air was blown away, and the ground rumbled. Even space shivered lightly. The shadows head was caved in, and lacking any form of regeneration, it instantly dissipated.
Jack had won.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, however, the ambient Dao gathered again. Two shadows appeared, one holding a warhammer and the other a long staff. They were still early C-Grades, but each of these shadows was noticeably stronger than the previous one.
The shadow charged. So did Jack. Fueled by his previous pain, the entire purple domain was sucked into his fist, where it was tightly compressed. The hammer struck down. Jack teleported behind the shadow, which teleported behind him in turn. Jack then spent a large amount of energy to punch through space yet again, re-teleporting over the shadows head and smashing down his fist.
The hammer had no time to return. Fist impacted hard flesh and caved it in. A colossal shockwave erupted, flooding the globe with purple flames, and the hammer-wielding shadow dissipated.
Jack landed on his feet, panting heavily. The Life Drop contained vast amounts of energy, but it could only be used for regeneration. Everything else, be it attacking, defending, teleporting, or using his various skills, was solely supported by his Dao Tree. Right now, after fighting in thousandfold gravity for so long, he was basically running on fumes. He couldnt even teleport anymore.
The Dao gathered again. This time, three shadows appearedand, though they remained early C-Grades, their power was vastly superior to the wizard and hammer-wielder hed just fought.
Jack shook his head. This is enough, he said. The globe rumbled, while the shadows bowed and disappeared.
***
Its been two minutes the djinn girl said, looking at the globe with confusion. Whats going on? Do you think he managed to defeat the first shadow?
Impossible, the mosquitoid cut her off. The first shadow has the power of a one-fruit C-Grade. To defeat it while in the D-Grade is just too difficult.
Hmm, the handsome human muttered. It is difficultbut not impossible. The difference between the D and C-Grades is roughly equivalent to three fruits inside the C-Grade.
Are you saying he can jump three tiers to fight? the djinn girl asked, her brows rising. Isnt that too much?
Heh You guys have only been here for a short time, but Ive seen some of the high-rankers duel. For some of them, let alone jumping three tiers, even four isnt a problem!
Are you serious!?
Absolutely. Well see when he comes out. If his ranking is any better than 990, it means he defeated the first shadow. In that case, hes a rare talent even in the Black Hole Church! We should hurry and befriend him before he soars through the ranks!
In the Ceaseless Murder Globe, the rankings up to 990 were for those with auxiliary powers who had little to no battle strength. They couldnt even defeat the first shadow. As for those who could defeat the first shadow but not the pair that came after, they were also very few, and they took up the positions between 990 and 975.
What if he defeats the hammer-wizard pair as well? asked the djinn girl.
The handsome human only laughed. Then he would rank better than 975but thats impossible. Only extreme geniuses, like Lady Min Ling, could achieve such a feat at his cultivation. If that happens, Ill eat my robes!
At that moment, the globes door slid open. Jack walked out, still panting and disheveled but uninjured.
See? said the insectoid. He is tired but has no wounds. I told you he was just running away.
Hmm. Yeah, that must be the case. I guess I was thinking too deep into it.
Jack did not pay them any attention. He turned to the Envoy who operated the globe and said, Thank you for the experience. Could you tell me how I did?
The four cultivators gave him a strange look. Just look at the obelisk, the djinn girl reminded him. If you achieved anything, your name there will move.
My name is already at a higher ranking than my result would indicate. Therefore, I believe it will not move.
What?
They looked at the obelisk again. They hadnt checked before, but since Jack had already given them his name, they easily spotted him: 950, Jack Rust!
What!?
Before they could ask anything more, however, the Envoy spoke up. I can tell you where your current result would place you, he said. Let me check. Its at
The Envoya well-dressed human manhesitated for a moment. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Well? Jack asked innocently. How did I do?
Uh Excuse me. If your ranking wasnt already higher than that, you would have placed at He gulped. 959
