Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 73: Boyce Goes South

Jacob did not renege and the Shaw family indeed had the capabilities of a centuries-old family. Within a

day, they were able to gather and collect the materials required conducting the Mana Collecting Matrix.

As agreed, Jacob was at the Shaw family’s pugilistic centre and arranged a large scale Mana

Collecting Matrix. From then on, the Shaw village aura gathered at Jacob’s training area as well as the

Shaw family’s pugilistic centre.

Thereafter, Jacob arranged a simple psychedelic array on his Mana Collecting Matrix to prevent

anyone from barging in to disturb him at the most critical moment of his isolation.

After these were completed, Jacob didn’t waste any time and began his isolation. He wanted to use the

shortest time to break through the second phase of “Gasification” stage and enter the third stage of

“Incarnation phase”. Once he was incarnated, he would become as powerful as a God.

As long as Jacob could enter the Incarnation phase, then a lot of his magic that could only be used by

those in incarnation phase could be used. Inclusive of his self-created Nine Secrets of Demon Emperor

and other secret magic of the incarnation phase.

Jacob was excited when he thought about it.

Once he could enter the incarnation phase, then not to mention sniper rifle, he would not be scared of

jet fighters, tanks, and even artillery.

When that happened, he would totally have the ability to protect himself.

…

…

There was no end to practicing martial arts. A lot of practitioners in the Universe would isolate

themselves for years and even decades. Some of the old Sages may not be seen for centuries when

they go into isolation.

Half a month had passed since Jacob isolated himself at the Shaw village.

If Jacob used the practice method in his previous life, he would have already broken through to the

Incarnation Phase by now. But during this life, he had the Chaos Pearl and Jacob practiced the Power

of Chaos. All the aura of the heavens and earth would transform into the power of Chaos and nothing

remained.

Hence, the practice process was much slower than Jacob expected.

In the practice, Jacob forgot something. Another way of putting it was this matter was never taken

seriously by him. It was insignificant to be even considered by him.

…

…

It was almost a month and the Boyce Goldsmith started to move south towards Riverside city. The

news of Boyce heading south immediately caused huge ripples in the martial arts world in China.

Boyce was an emerging Virtuoso and the youngest martial arts Virtuoso in this century which attracted

all the attention of the martial arts world.

After Boyce left the Capital city, he went to City Y to challenge Jerome Lester, an old Virtuoso of City Y.

That battle was conducted in secret at the Lester family in City Y. No one knew what happened and

neither the outcome.

After he came out of the Lester family, he left City Y and continued heading south. He did not return to

the Capital. Hence, most people guessed that Boyce the emerging Virtuoso had won.

This news spread rapidly across the martial arts world in China.

But many expressed their doubts. Although Boyce was very talented and could be regarded as the

most talented in China’s recent century, he only became a Virtuoso for a month. How could a new

Virtuoso win Jerome Lester who had been a Virtuoso for many years?

But soon all these doubts were broken.

Because when Boyce left City Y and continued heading south, he went into City X to challenge the

leader of City X’s renowned martial arts center, Mortimer Osborn. Mortimer was strong and at the peak

of his martial arts abilities, unlike Jerome of City Y who was an old Virtuoso.

He was angry that a young man came to challenge him. He felt that even if Boyce was talented and

skilled, he was just a young man who just attained the Virtuoso status. How could it be so simple for

him to march southwards to establish his status in the martial arts world as an invincible fighter?

Mortimer accepted Boyce’s challenge but did not conduct it privately. A stage was set up in City X to

fight Boyce openly and stop his march south. But in this battle, Mortimer lost! He lost to someone who

just became a Virtuoso. It was a great humiliation.

This battle shut the mouths of all those who doubted Boyce’s abilities. This caused another tremor in

the martial arts world of China. The youngest man in China in this century to reach Virtuoso had proven

his capabilities. He had proven that not only could he master his skills quickly, his fighting abilities were

also powerful.

Everyone thought that Boyce would return to the Capital after defeating two great Virtuosos, proving his

abilities and establishing a name of invincibility. They thought that he would go into isolation and

consolidate his gains and fortify his foundation as a Virtuoso. But Boyce did not return to the Capital.

He continued south and went into South Riverside Province.

He challenged the Virtuoso of the Parker family, Ronald Parker.

This immediately shocked those people who were following the news of Boyce’s march southwards.

This chap was insane. This was the impulsiveness of a youth, not knowing his limits!

But when they thought through it, it actually made sense for him to do it. He should establish a name

for himself now since he was so talented and had the self-confidence.

But now, the majority did not think highly of Boyce.

When he challenged Jerome of the Lester family City Y and City X’s renowned martial arts center

leader, Mortimer, they were considered Virtuosos at the preliminary stage. But Ronald Parker of South

Riverside Province was an intermediate-stage Virtuoso.

Most of the practitioners of martial arts only know that a person needed to have incredible powers to

achieve Virtuoso status.

But, most of the martial arts talents were stuck at the Virtuoso-to-be stage. It was very difficult to break

through to the Virtuoso status. Those who could breakthrough and enter this phase were amazingly

talented.

Then, only a very small number of people know that within the Virtuoso levels, breaking through each

level was exceedingly difficult. A large number of Virtuosos would remain at the preliminary stage.

Just as the Old Virtuoso of City Y, Jerome. He achieved Virtuoso at the age of forty and now at ninety

years old, he was still a Virtuoso at the preliminary stage. Perhaps for the rest of his life, he would not

be able to rise to the next level. So it could be seen how capable Mortimer was.

With Boyce’s talents, it was not a problem for him to breakthrough to reach the intermediate stage of

Virtuoso Phase. But now he had just become a Virtuoso at the preliminary stage within a month and

wanted to challenge Mortimer.

Even if he had defeated the two great Virtuosos who were at the preliminary stage, that wouldn’t

matter. The skill level differences of the preliminary stage and the intermediate stage was an

insurmountable chasm.

Practically no one understood the actions of Boyce.

In his path southwards, he had already made a name for himself as invincible. Why was he looking for

trouble? Boyce did not offer any explanation but once he was at the South Riverside Province, he

delivered a challenge to Mortimer of the Parker family.

Mortimer actually agreed and the challenge would take place in two days’ time.

…

…

At a luxury five star hotel in South Riverside Province. A slim and handsome young man sat on the

sofa in the presidential suite. He looked at two people seated in front of him.

One was tall and slim while the other was short and fat. These were two twins.

Something happened during their martial arts practice and their skeletons deformed resulting in their

current looks.

But because of their deformations, these two rose to the superior level of martial arts and broke

through to their current status of Virtuoso-to-be. They were now considered to be among the top

Virtuoso-to-be.

It could be said that apart from Darnell Clifford, they do not have any competitors among the Virtuous-

to-be.

Darnell once attained the Virtuoso status and now was a Virtuoso-to-be. It would definitely not be a

problem if the two brothers were to take on Darnell together.

“Santiago, Tyrone, both of you go to the North Riverside Province and find out the chap who blinded

Uncle Calvin. If he was a Virtuoso, tell him that in three days I will go to North Riverside Province to kill

him. If he dares to run, not only will I chase him to the ends of the earth, I will also kill those around

him!” The young man on the sofa calmly said.

The pair of twins, the elder brother was Santiago Volker while the younger brother was Tyrone Volker.

Once they heard the young man’s instructions, they immediately replied, “Master, it will be done!”

After hesitating for a while, the tall and slim Santiago said again, “But Master, How do you want us to

handle Lena Bell?”

The young man pondered deeply after hearing the words and said coldly, “For Lena, if she is still a

virgin, then bring her back to me. If not, kill her.”

“Yes Sir!”

Santiago and Tyrone immediately turned to leave and headed to North Riverside Province.

The two of them disregarded what the other people were saying about Boyce’s southbound march.

Those people were certain that his advance would be broken by Mortimer. His once invincible

reputation would then be wrecked.

Everyone didn’t think that their master’s fight with Mortimer would go well. But they knew that even if

their master didn’t win, he would also not lose! Those who didn’t know Boyce would not understand

how terrifying he was. So even if Jacob was a Virtuoso, when Boyce said that he would go to North

Riverside Province to kill him in three days, he would definitely do so. Boyce would certainly kill Jacob.

Santiago and Tyrone were also very hostile towards Jacob who probably cuckolded their master.

…

…

In Riverside City of North Riverside Province…

Kaley was extremely busy with the company’s new product launch.

Once Jacob provided the solution to the problems with research and development, about a month later,

the “Gone with the Mist” cosmetics series would finally be launched.

Kaley already prepared the product launch of the “Gone with the Mist” cosmetics series. This time, she

was exceedingly thorough.

Additionally, with the Hansen family and the Bell family’s assistance, Kaley was certain that as long as

the company officially launches the “Gone with the Mist” products, then it would take the world by

storm.

The results of the “Gone with the Mist” cosmetics series had far exceeded her expectations. It could

also be said that it exceeded everyone’s expectations. It didn’t even have any adverse side effects.

And all these were given to her by her husband, Jacob.

Kaley smiled blissfully when she thought about Jacob. But very quickly, the smile turned into bitterness.

From the moment they resolved their differences and decided not to divorce, they even slept together

once.

But that night, Jacob didn’t even touch her. And after that night, Jacob never went home for the night Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

not to mention sleeping on the same bed with her. Of course, now Kaley knew that Jacob was a martial

arts Virtuoso and she understood that he had to practice the arts. She knew that Jacob was in isolation

but still she felt bitter.

Kaley worked till late in the night before leaving the office for home. When she opened the door, there

was someone in the house. There was one who was tall and slim, another who was short and fat. They

sat on the sofa while they waited for her.
