Chapter 76: Jacob Emerged From Isolation
Chapter 76: Jacob Emerged From Isolation
In Riverside City, Shaw village…
“When can Master complete his isolation?” Abbott asked anxiously.
Lecherous Demon Edwina and Grizzly Bear both shook their heads. Both of them were training at the
same location with Jacob but Jacob had isolated himself in a room. Furthermore, he had given them an
ultimate order not to disturb him no matter what happened, not even if the sky had fallen. Not only that,
Jacob had installed psychedelic arrays around the room and even Lecherous Demon Edwin and
Grizzly Bear both were unable to enter.
“What happened?” Grizzly Bear asked.
Abbott told them the incidents in detail.
“Damn it, Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone are asking for death!” Grizzly Bear was furious when he heard
that Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone had killed the finest from the Army from Acheron and taken away
Kaley. Thereafter they even crippled Tekken.
Lecherous Demon Edwin was more composed and asked, “Are you certain you can defeat them?”
After practicing the scriptures, Grizzly Bear was only at the superior level of martial arts and half a step
away from becoming Virtuoso-to-be. Put it another way, in half a step he would just touch the first
phase of Jacob’s cultivation method – the Perception Phase and was definitely not a match for Ghosts
Santiago and Tyrone.
Lecherous Demon Edwin had already been in the first phase of Jacob’s cultivation method – the
Perception Phase. According to their Master, he was a Virtuoso-to-be.
But even he, when faced with the established Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone, he was confident of taking
on one of them but he was totally not confident of fighting both of them together.
“We don’t know when Master can emerge from his isolation but we can’t delay taking actions to save
Madam and Ms. Bell. We don’t know what Boyce will do.” Edwin said and continued, “I am not Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
confident on my own but if there is hope if I combine with Cornell Shaw!”
But even with Cornell, Edwin was not certain that they’ll be victorious. He had already heard of Ghosts
Santiago and Tyrone’s reputation. Their reputation in the martial arts world was on par with Darnell.
There was a belief that Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone would not lose to the top Virtuoso Darnell.
But they had to try.
Lecherous Demon Edwin went to look for Cornell Shaw. Cornell stopped his practice when he heard
that Edwin was visiting him. Although Edwin was Jacob’s subordinate, ever since Edwin became a
Virtuoso-to-be, Cornell treated him as an equal.
This had something to do with Jacob and also Edwin himself. Both of them had an encounter after
Edwin became a Virtuoso-to-be and Edwin was far stronger than he had expected. As an experienced
Virtuoso-to-be, Cornell actually lost to Edwin!
“Mr. Shaw, we need to seek your help!” Lecherous Demon Edwin got straight to the point.
“I will definitely help if I’m able to!” Cornell responded immediately. Edwin was Jacob’s henchman. He
was happy to help him however he could.
Jacob once said that Bernice could attain the superior martial arts level within a week. All of them
believed Jacob who was a gifted Virtuoso but deep in their hearts, they found it hard to believe what he
said.
But then, the fact was Bernice really attained the superior martial arts level within a week. To the shock
of every Shaw family member, she managed to do that earlier by three to five years under normal
conditions. This made all of the Shaw family members believe when Jacob said that he would let
Bernice become a Virtuoso-to-be within a year. When that happened, then the Shaw family would have
two great Virtuoso-to-be and their strength would be doubled.
Not only that, the Lecherous Demon who came with Jacob had broken through to become a Virtuoso-
to-be within ten days.
That raised Jacob to deity status in the Shaw family.
Not only was Jacob highly talented and even more talented than Boyce, but he could also cultivate the
people around him and raise their capabilities. This made Cornell decide that no matter what
happened, he wanted the Shaw family to be on the same boat as Jacob. Apart from Bernice and the
disciples of Jacob, Cornell also hoped that he could interact more with Jacob and draw closer to him.
Edwin started to tell Cornell what had happened including they had to face the Goldsmith family.
That was the critical point.
Would Cornell agree to the request of Edwin to go with him to kill Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone? That
would show if he really was willing to stand with them and had the resolve to face up to the Goldsmith
family. This would also immediately decide the future of the Shaw family.
Cornell pondered deeply for a moment before agreeing. He was very clear that Boyce had defeated the
two Virtuosos on his march southwards. But he had seen Jacob’s prowess and he believed that Jacob
was far more talented than Boyce and stronger!
Furthermore, this was an excellent chance to stand with Jacob and Jacob would reward the Shaw
family accordingly.
When Cornell agreed, he immediately set off with Lecherous Demon Edwin.
With the resources of the Shaw family inclusive of Hansen family, Bell family, and Army from Acheron,
they very quickly determined the location of Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone.
But no news was heard after Edwin and Cornell left.
…
…
On the next day, Boyce challenged Mortimer at South Riverside Province.
This fight was conducted openly at the Parker family and for the China martial arts world to see.
Everyone expected Boyce to be defeated and break his invincible streak. But reality had given them a
rude awakening.
Boyce fought Mortimer for a total of six hours. The fight destroyed the Parker Manor before it ended.
The conclusion was beyond everyone’s expectations. Boyce did not win but neither did he lose. Boyce
was evenly matched with Mortimer who was a Virtuoso at the intermediate stage after fighting for six
hours.
This conclusion shocked everyone.
A huge tremor rocked the entire martial arts world that day. It was hard to believe that Boyce had
defeated two great Virtuosos at the preliminary stage after becoming a Virtuoso for less than a month.
But everyone’s eyes almost popped out when he was evenly matched with a Virtuoso at the
intermediate stage like Mortimer.
They knew that there was a huge difference between Virtuosos at the preliminary stage and at the
intermediate stage.
Just as the Old Virtuoso Jerome of City Y who remained as a Virtuoso at the preliminary stage for life.
But Boyce was able to be evenly matched with Mortimer, a Virtuoso at the intermediate stage, after
becoming a Virtuoso for less than a month. Literally, it could be said that there never was one like him
and would never again in the future!
Now everyone understood why Boyce insisted on going to South Riverside Province to challenge
Mortimer. Because he was confident! He didn’t need to win. As long as he didn’t lose to Mortimer, his
undefeated track record would solidify and would never be shaken.
This very day, Boyce’s reputation spread far and wide in China’s martial arts world. Everyone knew that
this name would be cast in stone in China’s martial arts world. He would also become a leading figure
in China’s martial arts world. He also stood a chance of pushing the level of Virtuoso to a higher peak.
…
…
At this moment, Jacob was still in isolation. His breakthrough took longer than he expected.
Because after his reincarnation, he practiced the power of Chaos. At this moment, all the power of
Chaos that he obtained was through the Chaos Pearl which transformed the aura from the heavens
and earth.
Each trace of power of chaos required a hundred times of heavens and earth aura to transform. The
speed was much slower than Jacob expected. Even though it was slower than expected, Jacob had
broken through the second phase “Gasification” and entered the third phase “Incarnation Phase”.
Once he enters Incarnation, he would become as powerful as a God
Jacob felt a strength that he never felt before. There were two reasons why Jacob had not ended his
isolation.
Firstly, because he had broken through to the Incarnation Phase, the Chaos Pearl had started to
transform. Jacob realized that this time, The Chaos Pearl actually was able to react to his thoughts. He
could actually communicate with the Chaos Pearl. He then realized that there was a desolated chaotic
world within the Chaos Pearl. He wasn’t sure what else could the Chaos Pearl do but now it behaved
like a storage device. Furthermore, because it was a chaotic world, the space was immense! Even with
his knowledge of the Dark Realm, he had never seen a storage device with such extensive space.
Thus, Jacob spent a long time exploring the Chaos Pearl.
Secondly, after entering the Incarnation Phase, Jacob spent some time to forge and refine the piece
which was bought from the Riverside city auction. The piece was neither metallic nor mineral. Jacob
did not know what it was but after he entered the Incarnation Phase, Jacob realized that he could
actually refine it. He was then able to forge a black demonic sword from it.
Jacob ended his isolation after he completed these.
After Jacob ended his isolation, Jacob didn’t find Lecherous Demon Edwin and Grizzly bear.
Instead, it was his disciple, Bernice waiting anxiously outside for him.
