"Oho~" Gale, who was disguised as Reg, was amused after seeing Jack's movements and the status information he read about them.
[ Bac Burnheart (Seventh Stage Foundation Establishment Realm): His queen has ordered him to quit the competition and wait in the town for further orders. But he got provoked by Jack and decided to go against her order. ]
There wasn't much interesting happening with Bac. Gale could have guessed that after thinking about it a little. However, the thing that caught his attention was Jack's status interface.
[ Jack Truder(Sixth Stage Foundation Establishment): Born as a commoner, he lived most of his life on the streets. One day he found a storage ring that a vendor threw away because it was rusty. He took it in as he fancied such a thing. However, that ring changed his life. A dormant soul of 'Blade Dancer'. This swordmaster's soul is guiding Jack. ]
Gale smacked his lips after reading that. 'So, this is the son of destiny! Even garbage picked up from the streets can change your future.'
Gale then tried to see if he could use inspection on the ring.
[ Sorry, host. You can't use inspection on that object. It contains a being of a higher cultivation realm than you. ]
The system warned him just after he used it. Gale remembers that he could at most check up on someone's or something's information if it was two major realms higher than him, and if it was beyond that, he could not.
'So, that means the Blade Dancer guy is above Nascent Soul Real,. He can be at Soul Formation Realm or maybe even Void Amalgamation Realm.' Gale already marked everything about Jack in his mind. He might become a noteworthy figure in the future.
...
Meanwhile, the battle inside the battleground was heating up.
The audience wasn't expecting such a clash at such an early stage of the second round.
Roy and Joy, who were bored, had their backs straightened now.
"Didn't expect such a guy to be hiding?"
"Haha, Joy, these little guys always hide like that. They will come out only when something interests them. It looks like he is interested in our sect."
Bang
Bac, who was fighting head-on with Jack, got hit by the side suddenly, flinging his body to the walls.
But he used his feet to slow down the force and stopped. Bac looked at Jack in horror. 'His speed increased! This guy is still hiding his strength.'
Bac gritted his teeth in anger as he felt Jack's gaze. 'This guy is looking down on me.'
He hated this the most, and this was the only reason he didn't like his big brother.
" [ Burning Heart - First Form - Clashing Waves ]. " Spiritual energy charged up in Bac's sword. Burnheart Family had usually red-colored spiritual energy but for some reason, there was a tiny tint of yellow here and there.
Bac came before Jack in an instant and swung his sword down.
Jack's eyes contracted, and he felt his body being locked by something. 'Interesting.'
Jack decided to try his moves too. " [ Swift Sword - Butterfly Dance ]"
Multiple shadows of Jack's appeared beside him, which clashed with Bac's multiple spiritual energy attacks.
These shadows were aftereffects of his sword's fast movement, and they all attacked the weakest spot of the energy blasts, which didn't cost much spiritual energy for him.
BangBang...
Jack and Bac clashed with each other everywhere around the battleground. Their fight changed the rocky terrain and made rocks and pebbles fly everywhere.
In the middle of their fight, Bac asked. "Who are you?"
Jack broke out of that deadlock and retreated back. Bac didn't attack back, as he was curious about the guy.
"I am Jack, as you already know, and I pursue the path of swords. Swift and agile, very fitting for me." Jack danced with his sword in his hand while looking at it with love.
"That's it? Won't you tell me where you are from?" Bac squinted his eyes as he restored his spiritual energy slowly.
"I am from this place, Highload Town, and don't try to think too much. I was living in the streets, and I trained with my sword in the woods. I will go to the sect, so I will say something to you." Jack glared at Bac and spoke with a cold voice that was devoid of any emotion. "I have seen the tyranny you guys did to our common people because of us being weak. For that, I hate you guys to the bone."
"I vow today that the next time I come back to this town, I will remove these three overlords from existence."
Jack's words echoed loud and clear among the audience and the people from the sect.
A big grin appeared on Joy's face after hearing that. "Hehe, I like this guy. I don't mind having him as my disciple already."
On the other hand, Roy turned back and said with a smile. "How can Elder Odino miss such a thing?"
Joy turned back and saw Odino standing quietly, looking at Jack with a smile while his eyes shone like stars.
Meanwhile, Gale looked at Jack weirdly. 'Niloy should be happy to see a hero has risen. That guy won't be able to go with my method. He is suited for a hero like this.'
"Don't joke with me!" Bac yelled out loudly in anger. "You first have to defeat me to get a chance in the sect!"
" [ Burning Heart - Second Form - Raging Storm ] " A jet beam made of Bac's spiritual energy shot out of Bac's sword, which destroyed anything in its path.
Everyone in the crowd got shocked seeing that.
"Is that the famous Burning Heart technique?"
"Yes, it is. Truly fearsome. Worthy of making such a family."
While the audience was in awe, Jack was not. His eyes were filled with excitement. "Let me also show you something."
Jack sheathed his sword back in its scabbard and breathed out hot steam.
" [ Swift Sword - Lightning Strike ]."
Bac swung his sword with the beam attached at Jack.
On the other hand, Jack pulled out his sword and made a lightning sound along with that.
The moment Jack fully pulled out his sword, he shot toward Bac at lightning speed.
Bam
Jack cut straight through Bac's beam and flew at him, dividing it.
BANG!
