Chapter 346: Revisiting the Globe

After the duels conclusion, the crowd remained.

Most of it was low-rankers. Cranxiao had been a mountain to them, a devil they couldnt escape from. But now, that devil had been defeated and even killed by a man whose ranking was close to theirs. The nightmare was over, and the dream began.

How could they not be happy?

He amazing! a voice cried out from somewhere in the crowd. He protected us! He our hero! Our big bro!

Most didnt see who was speaking, only heard the words, but it was enough. They were overcome with sentiment. Which of these people wasnt an overlord back home? They were used to lording over others, but from the moment they came here, their halo had been completely extinguished. They had to endure mediocrity and even suppression.

Yet, now, someone reversed that. To all these fallen geniuses, that personcould only be a hero!

The crowds cheers rose to the sky as many approached Jack to congratulate him.

That was amazing! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I will remember this favor. If you ever visit the Sky Eye galaxy, look for me in the Sky Eye faction! That was so sexy!

Those last words had been spoken by a human girl of a rowdy disposition, whom Jack looked at oddly and ignored.

Regardless, the crowds heartfelt sentiments touched him. Thank you for your kind words, everyone. I did what I had to do.

A man approached; Jack faintly remembered him as Osmu Sosmu, a guy who had been present when Jack attempted the Ceaseless Murder Globe. There is no need to be modest. You did a great thing! Don Cranxiao was a blight, but which one of us had the strength to kill him? Even if we did, who had the courage? Nobody! Only you! Being our big bro is fitting indeed!

Being what? Jack glanced at Brock, who sported an innocent look and whistled to the side. Well, thank you all. I appreciate your kind words. In any case, I would like to head to my cabin and recover now, if you dont mind.

Oh, of course!

The crowd quickly dispersed. A couple girls shot him coquettish looks, then pouted when he didnt respond. Before long, the gathered people were gonemany planning to celebrate in small groupsleaving Jack alone with Brock, Dorman, and the Sage.

You did well, the Sage said. His one phrase of praise fell harder than every word spoken by everyone else combined.

Thank you.

Did you practice body tempering, by any chance?

Jack raised a brow. Maybe. Do you know anything about it?

Ive heard about it. Its a troublesome, expensive, yet highly effective process. I assume your Life Drop played a part?

Yeah. I used its life energy to temper my body.

Fascinating.

Wait! Dorman exclaimed. You can do that? The treasure I ate contained a tone of life energyhow come it only made me fat?

Youre lucky you didnt explode, Jack said. When I get the hang of it, I can try helping you get rid of all that extra energy.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Awesome!

Speaking of that, Sagecan you tell me whats the deal with my Life Drop? Ive been using it openly, just as you said, but isnt it a bit too useful at this point? Should I be afraid?

The Sage shook his head. Well asked. The Life Drop, as you call it, is one of many Life Artifacts. Most are owned by B or A-Grade powerhouses. They are exceedingly rare, but each of them is different. Some can give their wielder extreme compatibility with the Dao of Life; others can greatly increase their lifespan or nourish their Dao Tree. Your artifact, thankfully, is not too useful; it only reinforces your physical body, be it through tempering or a relatively powerful battle form. That is great for someone of your cultivation, but useless for A-Grades. So, dont worry; your body-oriented Life Artifact will only be coveted by B-Gradesat most.

Only by B-Grades?! Sage! Thats terrible!

Better than having Elders at your doorstep. Youll be fine; with the Head Envoy behind you, no B-Grade can touch you in the Cathedral. Of course, if they were to find you outside, things would be differentso youd best be careful.

Yeah, I guess I will be!

Jack was shaken. A-Grades, B-Gradesthose invincible existences might be coming after him?

What friend? You made me fat!

You started it.

You guys know each other? Jack asked.

Damn right we do! Thats the bitch who fed me the fat treasure.

Her face radiated anger. As if! You were the one who stole it, and you still have the guts to complain? If you want to know, I paid a high price for that treasure! I trusted you!

Please! You clearly placed it where you wanted me to take it.

I wanted to see if you were a decent person! Good thing I found out before I helped you break through. Hmph!

Dorman was about to respond, but Jack raised a brow in warning. To him, the girl was clearly in the right here.

Dorman had once been a conceited, prideful individual. Now, humiliated before a crowd of peers, his pride was rearing its head, and he wanted to lash out and defend himself.

However, he did not do that. To Jacks surprise, he actually lowered his head and said, Sorry. I shouldnt have stolen from you. I was just desperate because my planet was at war for survival and I was stuck here getting bullied by everyone.

His voice remained bitter. Clearly, forcing himself to speak at this point was difficult, but he still said the words, even if he only half-meant them. Jack could appreciate that.

The girl nodded, not saying anything to forgive him. She turned to Jack. Sorry for that. Im Esmeralda Polen, ranked 479th. Nice to meet you.

Likewise. However, Dorman aside How do you know Brock? He clearly remembered that Brock had called her Ponytail Sis.

Oh, weve met before, she replied with a wry smile, turning to Brock. So, this is the big bro you mentioned, huh? Lets seeis he really is as awesome as you say?

Of course.

Just so you know, Ill tell my friend what happens here.

Yes.

Jack raised a brow. Do I want to know, or

No, Brock and Esmeralda replied at once, leaving him speechless.

Okay

Deciding he didnt want anything to do with all these bro antics, Jack finally pushed through the rest of the crowd and reached the Globes entrance. The door was opennobody was inside.

Can I go in? he asked the Envoy responsible, a red-skinned creature with four fingers on each hand. It looked a lit like a frog.

You may, the Envoy responded. Would you like to make the Globe transparent? It costs one additional Dao stone.

No, thank you, Jack replied quickly. He had enemies nowshowing them his strengths and weaknesses just to excite a random crowd was hardly worth it. Right afterward, however, he noticed another thing the Envoy had said. Sorryadditional?

Every cultivator gets a free run when they first arrive. After that, using the Globe costs a Dao stone. The magic formation consumes a lot of energy.

Jack hadnt known that. Thankfully, he had recently acquired twenty Dao stones. With his heart aching, he took out one and passed it to the frog person.

You may enter.

Jack spared a final glance for the crowdover a hundred people, all excitedly staring at him and awaiting his results. They wanted to witness the start of a legendand Jack was inclined to give it to them.

He raised a fist, and the crowd rumbled with cheers. Brock shouted the hardest.

Then, Jack walked inside the Globe, and the door fell shut behind him. All sound was cut off. He was alone in silent darkness.

His fighting spirit was roused. The irrelevant thoughts went away. The first shadow opponent was formed, and Jack charged.
