No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 1051

The next morning, a lot of people were gathered on the rooftop of a huge plaza located on the peak of a

hill. Aside from the main family within the White family, a few other branches of the White family as well

as some families attached to them had all come.

All of them never expected that Master White would hold this event to choose his successor, right after

his only son had returned to the family.

“You’re becoming more and more daring now, Nash. You didn’t even bother to discuss such a big matter

with me, and you went ahead and made the decision yourself. Do you hold no respect for me?”

On a gallery high above the square, Lily, who was seated next to Nash, rolled her eyes at her husband,

huffing angrily.

“Heh. This was a last-minute decision. But as the head of the White family, I think I have some authority

in this matter, especially since I’ve discussed it with plenty of elders already.”

Nash chuckled, speaking as though he was not the least bit angry.

“Hmph. I think you just don’t want Lance to become the successor. And you’ve been brainwashed by that

vixen from the earthly realm. Are you thinking of surrendering the entire White family to the son you had

with her?”

Lily harrumphed coldly and shot Nash a glare.

“Why are you still hung up over something that happened ages ago, Lily? Besides, I didn’t do anything

that grieved you, right, besides that one thing? If you can accept Lizzie, why can’t you accept Joan and

jackie? Can’t we just live together happily as one family?”

Nash frowned and stared at the woman before him. He realized that Lily had changed so much—she

was not the woman he used to know. Back then, she was outspoken and abrasive and prevented Joan

from marrying into the White family, but she would never hire hitmen to kill jackie and the others.

“Heh. Joan is a woman from the mortal realm. She’s not even a Chi practitioner-in-training. How can you

tell me to accept her? Anyone who doesn’t know how to manipulate Chi is beneath us. I don’t want

people talking behind your back, badmouthing you because you married a woman like that!

“Let’s say you married her and she gave you a son—would he have innate talent? Will he be as pure

bred and as esteemed as us?”

Since Nash refused to spare her reputation, Lily did not hold back in demolishing him either. She stood

up and spoke loudly.

“Hmph. jackie can give us a run for our money if I say so!”

Nash harrumphed coldly. He coughed after he said this. It was evident that his body was still weak.

“Him? Give us a run for our money? That brat is definitely a lot worse than my son. You’ll find out for

yourself in a while!”

Lily sat down and spoke flippantly, “I’m telling you, Nash White, that Lance isn’t dead. He’s still alive. It

doesn’t matter if you choose to hold this competition or whatnot, I’ll never acknowledge the winner of this

heir selection. My son is the true successor, and he’s the one most suited for the role!”

“Whatever you say!”

Lily was refusing to budge, and Joan remained silent at the side. Nash unleashed his temper and said in

a cold tone, “It doesn’t matter if you acknowledge this competition or not. All the members of the White

family recognize it for what it is, and the elders all think that this is the fairest way to move forward. That

itself is enough for me!”

After he said that, he cast his attention to a middle-aged woman who was garbed in a red dress. He

nodded his head. “Let us begin!”

Chapter 1052

The Fourth Elder, clad in a red dress, was a beautiful woman of around forty years old. Despite being

forty, her skin was still smooth and radiant, and she was extremely beautiful!

Chi practitioners had their bodies maintained by chi, and the aura surrounding them was out of the

ordinary. Furthermore, they age slower than regular people. That was why a woman like that would

immediately enamor plenty of men from the mortal realm if they saw her.

She leaped and drifted toward the fighting stage in the middle. “I am the Fourth Elder, Wendy,” she

announced to everyone. “I was fairly late in joining the White family, and I am neither a member of the

White nor Lagorio family. That’s why I think it’s only appropriate that I host this competition!”

Many of the elders could not help but smile when they heard this. It was true that if anyone else were

chosen as the host, it was likely that they would be beating around the bush all day.

Although Wendy was an elder of the White family, she was not born into the family nor the Lagorio family.

Nobody could speak against her if that was the case.

“As you can see, there are ten fighting stages set up here. The one on my far left is the first stage,

counting all the way up to the tenth to my far right!”

Wendy gave a small smile and introduced everything, “There are a total of 230 people participating in

this competition. And they’re all the younger members of the White family…”

“So many people!”

After he heard that, jackie could not help but be astonished. The younger generation had plenty of guts

to come forth and participate in this competition. It was evident that they were grandmasters, at the very

least. He still never expected there to be so many people.

Furthermore, all these people definitely descended from the main family, and this number did not include

people from the White family’s branches as well as other families who answered to the White family.

The White family was truly an illustrious family that deserved its position as one of the Eight Shadow

Families!

“The first competition is easy enough. We want to elect the top hundred candidates from it!”

Master Wendy smiled. “The rules are simple. If you’re pushed off the fighting stage, you’re out. We’ll do

this melee until only a hundred people are left on the stage, and these hundred will move on to the next

round!”

“What! It’s a melee!”

Some people were surprised when they heard this.

“Heh. There’s some element of luck to this round. Even if an individual is not very strong, they’ll still

advance to the next round with a bit of luck and some determination!”

An old man could not help but smile.

“That’s right. There’s also the possibility of joining forces to kick someone stronger out, no?”

Another middle-aged man smiled as he spoke.

“Hah. This should be interesting. Luck is also a type of strength. It’ll be fun to see how this plays out!”

Someone’s lips curved into an amused smile.

“You’re still smiling? Your son may be at the beginning stage of the true god status. He is pretty strong,

and he could have easily entered the top hundred, but what if his luck is so bad that he runs into

someone else of his status or an advanced practitioner of the true god status? Heh. Then your son would

be eliminated first. Wouldn’t that be too bad for him?”

The old man beside him could not help but say.

“No worries about that. The fun side of this competition is the participation! It doesn’t matter even if my

son doesn’t emerge as the champion and clinch the title of the heir!”

The man from earlier smiled.

On the stage, Wendy was waiting for everyone to quiet down before speaking. “All right, all participants,

please come to Stage Number One!”

In a flash, plenty of people leaped onto fighting stage number one.

Everyone exchanged looks between each other, every single one of them ready to wage war.

Chapter 1053

Some people who knew each other quite well clustered together, preparing to watch each other’s backs.

“This is a good chance. Let’s get that adopted son-in-law first. Hah. He’ll know the cruelty of the world

once he’s eliminated in the first round!”

One of the participants from the White family looked at jackie from a distance, a hint of a smile on his

lips.

He was a ninth-grade grandmaster. He was one of the top fighters among the younger generation of the

White family.

After all, he would be considered as an eight or nine-star King of War outside, with his fighting prowess.

As he spoke, he set foot to go over to jackie’s side.

However, he only closed half of the distance when he stopped, shock painted all over his expression.

The two beauties of the White family, Beth, and Yule, were actually walking over to jackie.

“No way. Those two masters are going to help get rid of jackie? Seems like plenty of people are targeting

him already. Heh! He sure has a big fat target on his back. Everybody wants to get rid of him first!”

The man flashed a bitter smile. it seemed that there were plenty of people who were thinking along his

lines. He did not have to go over then. If he did, he might be eliminated by the two beautiful masters

instead.

“Hah. Seems that jackie is in bad luck today. I wanted to go over and eliminate him first—tell him that

he’s not good enough to become the heir to the White family. Never thought that someone would beat

me to it!”

Martin burst out in laughter as he watched this from a distance.

“Heh. It’s obvious that he’s going to be eliminated soon. He’ll be the laughing stock of the century. Hah!”

Plenty of participants from the White family also stared at jackie, cold smiles on their lips.

“All right, since everyone is here, let the first round officially commence!”

The Fourth Elder smiled and flagged off the start of the competition.

“Hah. Get your a** off here!”

Some people had already set their eyes on their opponents. They all rushed toward various people once

Wendy’s voice rang out.

The cacophony of various brawls immediately exploded at stage one. The fighting grew fiercer with every

passing second.

A second-grade grandmaster was punched off the stage by a fifth-grade grandmaster.

“Ah. I’m no good. I can’t even get into the top hundred!”

The second-grade grandmaster immediately heaved a sigh and shook his head forlornly.

“Who are the two of you?”

jackie’s lips twisted into a bitter smile as he saw the two beauties before him. He did not know why they

came to him.

“I’m here to protect you. But I’ve no idea why Yule is here!”

Beth said with a smile.

Chapter 1054

Beth folded her arms after she finished speaking, glancing toward Yule with a slight smile on her face.

Yule did not know whether to laugh or cry. She shrugged her shoulders. “I never thought that you would

think the same as I did, Beth,” she said.

She paused here and looked at jackie before continuing, “I had no choice. This punk is my older brother,

unfortunately. It’ll be embarrassing if he were to lose terribly and become the butt of everyone’s joke.

Besides, my mother told me to take care of him. I have to think of some ways to prevent him from losing

the first round. We’d never live it down otherwise!”

jackie did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the conversation between them. Still, warmth

tinged his insides; these two young ladies were trying to look out for him.

In a split second, over 30 people had been shoved off the stage.

“Strange. Why aren’t those two liftings a finger?”

Someone realized that something was off. He could not help but mutter after he managed to get rid of an

opponent.

“Nash White!”

In the viewing gallery, Lily’s expression had darkened. “You actually told those two to protect jackie?

Heh. I never thought that you would resort to such dirty tactics for the sake of your son.”

Nash had been watching everything unfold on the fighting stage as well. “Heh. I didn’t arrange for this. I

never thought that they would help jackie either,” he said, a bitter smile on his face. “Or perhaps they

wanted to help him because they thought that he was a pretty good man!”

The corners of the Third Elder’s lips twitched when he heard that. “Heh. Shouldn’t you have thought of a

better excuse, Master?” he said, expression stony. “Beth and Yule have only known jackie for a short

time. How could they help him on their own accord? But it doesn’t matter, since he’ll be eliminated in the

second round. He’ll just lose less shamefully!”

“How interesting, Beth, Yule. You’re…actually helping the live-in son-in-law?”

At this moment, a man could not stand the sight any longer. He threw an opponent off the stage and

stomped his foot, streaking straight before the trio. He spoke with a cold smile.

“Heh. We’re not going against the rules, Lionel, are we? You can fight us if you’re not pleased with

anything!”

Beth folded her arms before her chest. “You, an eighth-grade grandmaster, are thinking of eliminating the

two of us?” she said haughtily.

A muscle worked in his jaw. A cloud suddenly fell over his face.

However, he quickly reined in his anger. “Are you a true man, you punk? Hiding behind these two

women’s backs. Some hero you are,” he said, looking at jackie. “Fight me if you have the guts. Stop

hiding behind other people like some ostrich!”

“Heh, jackie won’t fall for your trap. He’s not an idiot. He’ll never be roused by your provocation.”

Yule folded her arms across her chest and spoke without hesitation, lips curved into a frosty smile.

That smile instantly disappeared after she said that—because jackie was actually slowly walking forward

until he became before her and Beth.

“Heh. You do have a point. As a man, I shouldn’t hide behind others.”

jackie came before the man and stared at him, smirking.

“He’s provoking you, jackie. Can’t you tell? He can’t beat us, so he wants to lure you out to eliminate

you!”

Yule began to panic. “You are the Master’s son,” she whispered to jackie. “Plenty of people will take you

for a joke if you’re eliminated during the first round!”

“That’s right, jackie. Listen to your little sister. I think she’s right too. I want to help you because of this!”

Chapter 1055

Beth also tried to convince jackie.

The two of them were fighters who had attained the true god status. Regular participants did not dare to

seek trouble with either one of them.

After all, there were not many fighters like them among the younger generation.

“Hah. You’ve got guts!”

Lionel also never expected jackie to fall for it. He flashed a thumbs up. “Don’t worry, you’ll be respected

even if you lose to me. At least you’re not a wimp who hides behind women’s backs!”

“Heh. I don’t have the right to even touch the Cryo Pearl if I can’t beat you.”

No one expected jackie to speak with such a grudging tone, a wan smile on his face.

“Oh my. You’re aiming for the treasure? So you want to be the champion!”

Lionel smiled; his gaze hardened. “You’re all bark and no bite!”

“Cut the crap. There’ll only be a hundred people left on this stage very soon if I don’t throw you out!”

jackie took a step forward and curled his fingers mockingly.

Lionel stomped his foot and came before jackie, directing a punch at the latter.

He was fast, and his attack was ferocious. It was evident that he was not holding back.

“Heh. Seems like your son isn’t listening to your orders, Nash. I think Lionel will be the one to eliminate

him!”

Lily smirked as she observed what was happening on the fighting stage. She knew that jackie had been

provoked by Lionel’s words to come forward and fight.

Yet the very next second, Lily’s expression crumpled.

jackie did not dodge Lionel’s blow at all, raising his fist instead to meet his opponent’s.

Lionel, the eighth-grade grandmaster, was actually flung backward from the impact, landing heavily

below the stage. He spat a mouthful of blood, and his cheeks were leached out of color.

“What! That punk…is of a true god status?”

Lionel was shocked that he had been eliminated. Disbelief filled his eyes. He never thought that a brat

from the mortal realm would actually be so frighteningly strong. The force behind jackie’s punch made

him feel like there would have been no way to counter it.

“Heh. My apologies, dear, but jackie is not as weak as you think he is!”

Nash nodded his head in approval, speaking to Lily.

The corners of Lily’s lips twitched. “He’s not bad, but he’s far below the likes of my son,” she said. “My

son isn’t here today, but if he were, he would be crowned champion!”

Chapter 1056

“No way. Lionel actually got thrown back by that punk with just a single punch, and he’s an eighth-grade

grandmaster. This means that the punk is at least a ninth-grade grandmaster!”

Plenty of contestants had been observing this as well. All of them were stunned when they saw the

scene unfolding. They never imagined for that easy target to actually be that strong.

“He’s not as weak as we think he is!”

Hudson also saw this, and he looked slightly ill.

He clenched his fists and stalked toward jackie. “Looks like I’ll have to deal with you myself!”

Hudson’s veins flooded with evil intent. He had not meant to eliminate jackie, but instead kill him right off.

Lily had told him about this privately. He was to say that he had accidentally killed jackie, and Lily would

do everything in her power to protect him.

Besides, he would be granted plenty of rewards after.

“Really? Let’s see if you’ve got the skills to back those words!”

jackie was stunned. He looked at Hudson, grinning, as though he was not worried at all.

“ jackie, Hudson is at the advanced stage of the demi-god status. Even I may not be a match for him! He

has a chance to become the champion!”

Beth frowned and walked over, stepping before jackie.

“And so ends the first round!”

Yet no one expected Wendy’s voice to ring out at this moment.

“It’s over?”

Yule was stunned for a second, then she smiled. “That’s great. Now there are only a hundred people left

on this fighting stage, Hudson. You can’t lift a finger now that the first round is over!”

The corners of Hudson’s mouth twitched violently. He scanned the people on the stage; including the

four of them, there were indeed a hundred people left.

He clenched his fists and glared at jackie. “You were lucky today, punk. I never thought that so many

people would be eliminated so fast. Heh. You would have been thrown out otherwise!”

“I think you’re the lucky one. Otherwise, a master at the advanced stage of a true god status eliminated

in the first round? How embarrassing would that be for you!”

jackie shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

“Hah. You’re pretty good at boasting, punk. Just pray that you don’t meet me in the next round.

Otherwise, I’ll teach you a good lesson on what it means to be weak!”

Hudson said, laughing.

“All right. The first round is over. To all who have advanced to the next round, please exit the stage!”

The Fourth Elder spoke at this moment.

The victorious candidates all leaped down and stood to the side.

“We will now commence with the second round. It will not be a melee competition, but a one-on-one

battle!”

Wendy announced in a clear voice as she stood on the fighting stage, “The matches will be drawn via

lottery. We have a hundred cards, with numbers from one to fifty written on them. For every number,

there will be a pair. The one who draws the same number as you do will be your opponent!”

While Wendy was speaking, two workers carried trays over, with cards splayed over them.

jackie simply picked a card with the number ’21’ written on it. It seemed that his opponent would be the

person holding the other card with the number ’21’ on it.

“All right. Has everybody gotten their number?”

Chapter 1057

After a while, Wendy added, “Participants who drew numbers one to ten, please take the fighting stages

accordingly. For example, those who drew the card with number one will go to stage number 1. After all

ten pairs have finished their battle, I will call upon those who have drawn up until the number twenty!”

After she thought about it, she said, “The rules for this round are simple. You cannot kill your opponent,

and you win by getting your opponent off the stage. Of course, you’ll automatically win if your opponent

surrenders!”

After Wendy finished announcing the rules for this round, the contestants who took the number one to

ten flew up to their respective stages.

Evidently, the competitors who emerged victorious in this second round would be able to become the top

50 contestants, and then they would be guaranteed a prize already.

“Hah. You’ve got some luck to run into me!”

On one of the fighting stages, a seventh-grade grandmaster was paired with a fourth-grade grandmaster.

The former could not help but grin.

Since the first round was a melee, there were a few people who were not very strong that managed to

hold on to the very end as they got lucky.

This seventh-grade grandmaster was considered an average fighter. After all, the people who won were

all pretty strong—and that was why he was afraid that he would run into master of true god status.

He never thought that his luck was in his favor. He actually got a fourth-grade grandmaster as his

opponent. Excitement flooded through his veins.

The fourth-grade grandmaster flashed a bitter smile. “I did not have hope anyway unless I was paired

with the other fourth-grade grandmaster here!”

After he said that, he actually jumped off the stage. “I surrender!”

“I–I won?”

The seventh-grade grandmaster was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled.

“Jeez. That fellow is so lucky. He advanced to the next round just like that!”

Someone was extremely envious when he saw this.

However, the people on the other nine fighting stages were not so lucky. The opponents they had were

about the same level as they were, and naturally, they would not give in without a fight. They threw

themselves at each other, and the frightening cacophony of skirmishes filled the air.

“The fighting skills of this family are pretty good!”

jackie was astounded by the sight as he peered down from the audience stand. He could tell that these

masters from the White family spent plenty of time honing their martial skills, and all of them were

stronger than regular fighters.

Soon enough, the first batch of contestants was done. The people who had won were all elated and

quickly went to claim their prizes first. The losers left dejectedly, their heads hung low as they joined the

crowd to watch the rest of the competition.

Of course, there were some who had sustained more serious injuries. They could only sit at the side,

take a few healing pills, and have a good rest.

The second group of people quickly went up as well.

“Hey, what number did you get?”

Unexpectedly, Yule tapped jackie’s shoulder from behind at this moment.

jackie turned his head, surprised. “Why did you ask that, Yule?”

“Can’t I ask? I just want to know when it’ll be your turn!”

Yule replied, a sweet smile on her face.

“Oh, it’ll be my turn soon!”

jackie smiled. “You’ll soon find out what number I drew!” he said.

Chapter 1058

Just as jackie finished his last syllabus, the Fourth Elder—Wendy Wind—had already flitted back onto

the stage of the tournament once again.

She plastered a gentle smile and spilled, “Very well. Let’s invite participants from number 21 to number

30 to the stage!”

“Hehe! Brother jackie, it’s my turn to go up!”

Yule giggled warmly and strode toward the stage. She stomped on her right foot, leaped upward to the

air, and landed on the stage. All these happened within a few seconds.

jackie stared at Yule who was already on the stage, then he looked down at the tiny piece of paper in his

hand. The number on the paper made him completely dumbfounded.

“No way! How could it be her? What should I do now?”

jackie did not know whether to cry or to laugh. How could he have imagined that Yule would be his

opponent? What a coincidence!

The other competitors jumped onto the stage of the tournament, and some of them glided onto the stage.

“Where’s my opponent?”

Yule frowned with a puzzled look. Her opponent had not come up to the stage yet.

Soon, her puzzled look was replaced with speechlessness. jackie stepped out of the crowd, then with a

gentle stomp, he appeared in front of Yule in the next second.

“No freaking way! Brother jackie, you’re my opponent?”

Yule’s eyes went wide, and her jaw dropped to the ground when she saw that jackie stood before her.

She could not believe her own eyes. Did she see wrongly? Was the person in front of her jackie? Too

much of a coincidence!

“What the h*ll?”

The crowd gasped at the arrangement on the stage. Each of them had a strange look on their faces.

“The illegitimate trash of Nash White will fight against his own daughter. Heh! It’s interesting, isn’t it?

Doesn’t this mean that the Brother will be competing against the Sister?”

Some people laughed sarcastically. They had never expected to witness such an episode today.

“Hahaha! That b*stard, I don’t think he is his sister’s opponent. Although Yule White is young, she is

talented and a master! She’s only 17 or 18 years old but she has already reached the middle stage of a

demi god status. Such martial skill and fighting prowess are similar to those so-called Gods of War. That

illegitimate jackie is obviously not her opponent!”

Another person giggled with a playful tone. “I’m afraid that this time the Brother is going to lose to his

sister!”

“What is this? Nash, don’t tell me you’ve arranged this? Heh! You’re quite smart, aren’t you? You actually

make your daughter compete against your son in the second round. What a trick!”

Lily was stunned at the scene. She then said with a face of contempt, “I didn’t see that coming, and

clearly didn’t expect such a dirty trick from the Head of the White family! You made this arrangement on

purpose so that your son would win the tournament, am I right? Don’t you feel ashamed at all!”

“Dirty trick? What trick did I use?”

Nash’s face went dull and then reprimanded, “Lily, don’t talk bullsh*t if you have no evidence!”

“Oh? Do you think I don’t know what you were doing? In the first round, you had Yule and Beth protect

your lovely son, so that he could enter the second round!”

Chapter 1059

Lily sneered coldly. “I didn’t expect you to pull such a trick in the second round. You must have used

some dirty tricks to mark the cards during the card drawing session so that your dear son would face

your daughter in this round! The next step is even simpler, you’ll just have to ask your daughter to lose to

jackie deliberately for jackie to enter the next round, are my guesses correct? Then he can eventually get

into the top 50, am I right?”

“I…”

Anger instantly welled up in his chest when Nash heard Lily’s claim. He never expected Lily to see him

that way. He coughed harshly then only managed to spill some words out. “I didn’t!”

“Hmph! You didn’t? If you didn’t plan it, how can there be such a coincidence? Anyhow, I’d still want to

see what’s up your sleeve next! How will you make your son the champion of this tournament!”

Lily snorted cold-heartedly and her face had become more and more unsightly.

“Madam, Nash didn’t do this, it’s really coincidental. You’ve known Nash for so many years, you know he

is not that kind of person. He has always done things openly and honestly!”

Lizzie—who was standing aside—could not stand watching both of them argue, so she intervened to

help Nash.

“Lizzie, just mind your own business, will ya? Is it because you think jackie is back with the White family

and there’s a high chance for him to be the heir? Are you trying to befriend him so that he’ll take your

side in the future? Hahaha! Don’t think that I don’t know what your little, tiny brain is plotting!”

Lily hissed unceremoniously. She did not see that coming. Lizzie, who had never been a talker nor an

arguer dared to stand up and speak for Nash this time.

“Mrs. White, no, I—I’ve never thought of it that way. We’re a family, we shouldn’t fight. This round of the

tournament must be coincidental…”

Lizzie had never wished to stir up trouble, though she disliked Lily in her heart quietly. Lily was a rather

forceful and quick-tempered woman. This was why Lizzie had always shut her mouth up and even rarely

stepped out of the house, hoping to live a quiet and peaceful life.

“Hmph! We’ll know soon if it’s staged or coincidental! Yule is already at the middle stage of the demi-god

level. Hence if she loses to jackie this round, it must be on purpose! After all, we’re all martial artists with

good eyesight; we definitely know which move is being done on purpose!”

Lily hummed frostily and left her last sentence.

Nash was deep in thoughts about Lily’s claim. He then wheeled his head, facing the First Elder, and

asked in a careful tone, “First Elder, did you…did you arrange all this?”

Indeed, this seemed a little bit too coincidental for him to comprehend. He now had somewhat suspected

that there could really be someone plotting this without him knowing.

The First Elder was rendered speechless for a few seconds and then replied in a calm voice, “Master

White, it’s not like you don’t know what kind of person I am. How could it be possible for me to arrange all

this?”

“Alright! Since you’ve said so, I trust you! That’s fine.”

Nash bobbed his head with a bitter smile hanging on his tired face.

At this moment, the tournament has already started. The other nine candidates had started fighting each

other, except for Yule and jackie.

Yule and jackie were at stage number one; they were looking at each other with an awkward look

plastered on their face.

“Brother jackie, I can’t believe that you’re my opponent! Sigh! I heard that you’re very talented. Well. Let

me test that hearsay out!”

Yule halted to ponder for a few seconds, she then clenched her fist and said, “If you can’t even defeat

me, you’d never get first place. After all, Sister Beth is a lot stronger than me! She’s already at the late

stage of the demi-god level. Not to mention that Hudson and Martin have both signed up for this

tournament; they’re both at the late stage of the demi-god realm as well. There’s a lot of others who are

stronger than me. Therefore, even if I let you win on purpose this time, it’d be in vain!”

Few seconds of silence brushed through the air, Yule then continued, “But, well, even though my martial

art status is not as high as theirs, I’m a powerful fighter with stronger determination compared to them.

So, I actually have a little hope in winning them.” Yule felt proud of herself. “Anyway, you don’t have to

worry about the Cryo Pearl. I’ve discussed this with Beth. The two of us, no matter who wins the first

place, when the time comes, we’ll give you the Cryo Pearl!”

jackie suddenly felt a flicker of warmth inside his heart when he heard Yule’s words. “Thank you for your

kindness. But, I better get first place, so that it’d be certain that I’ll get the Cryo Pearl!”

Chapter 1060

“You get the first place? Are you serious? Do you know that I’m already at the intermediate stage of the

demi-god level?”

Yule was puzzled at jackie’s exaggeration, wondering if she had heard him wrong. She was relatively

young among the younger generation in the White family, and to be at such a level, she was considered

a master among masters!

How could jackie be so confident with his own ability? Could it be that his martial art status and fighting

prowess were even higher than hers?

“I know your martial art status, so I will hold back a little. After all, you’re my sister; I won’t hurt you!”

jackie gave Yule a faint smile. Though the smile was faint, it was radiant and sunny.

He could see that Yule was a kind-hearted person, although she might have been spoiled since young

and had always carried a frightening yet noble aura, she was a young woman with a pure and simple

heart.

“Hehe! Not bad at all! You take care of your sister!”

Yule returned with a wide and amiable grin. Near the corner of her mouth appeared a cute dimple.

After teasing jackie, Yule balled her fist firmly, stomped on her feet. She leaped toward jackie, yelling,

“Brother jackie, I hope you won’t let me down!”

Just as Yule’s words fell, she had come before jackie. Her speed was not as fast as lighting, but rather

like a phantom that no one was able to catch a sight of. Less than a second, she was right in front of

jackie.

jackie clenched his fist as well when he saw Yule blasting toward him with a firmly balled fist.

The seemingly ordinary clash of fists between two humans emitted a terrifying loud bang and cast a

powerful and forceful circular wave outward to the audience.

“What the!”

The radiant smile that was on Yule’s pretty face a moment ago soon faded into the thin air. What was

soon dawned upon her face was shock and puzzlement.

The strength and power that erupted from jackie’s body were clearly way stronger than hers. Based on

the strength she had felt from him, this man before him should at least be at the late stage of the demi-

god level. Moreover, he seemed to belong to the top-notch category in the late stage of the demi-god

level.

With Yule’s round and astonishment-filled eyes, she was blown away by the force and flew two to three

meters backward before she stomped on the ground, halting, and stabilizing herself.

This was the first clash between the two, and to everyone’s surprise, it was jackie who had the upper

hand.

“My God! Did you see that? That punk jackie had actually blasted Yule, the little master, away?”

In the stands, the crowd could not help but gasp aloud at the scene before them. They initially thought

that jackie would soon be eliminated within seconds. They truly did not expect him to be so strong.

At this time, most of the battles on the other stages had already ended. Some were eliminated and some

advanced into the next round. All of them were paying attention to the situation on the other stages.

And when they witnessed the clash between Yule and jackie, confusion and astonishment were written

on their face. After all, Yule’s combat prowess was already at the demi-god level; how could an adopted

son-in-law who had just returned from the secular world be stronger than her?

“That’s freaking awesome! Master White, Young Master jackie is so awesome, isn’t he? Haha! He is

more powerful than I expected!”

In the viewing stand, Butler Titus’s eyes were immediately lit up as though he had seen something

wonderful. “If jackie could win the first place and become the heir to the family head. We finally have a

successor for the White!” Titus chortled warmly.

Nevertheless, just as he finished his words, he could feel a pair of burning eyes staring at him with

malice and hatred.

If this gaze could kill, he had no doubt that he would have died a million times over.

A wave of fury crashed through Lily that she was almost choking on her rage. She glared at Titus with

eyes full of hatred, and then she barked, “What do you mean by ‘finally have a successor for the White’?

Is my son not a member of the White family? Isn’t he the son of Nash White? I watched the battle with

my own naked eyes, and it was so fake! It was obvious that Yule went easy on that punk! You all must

have discussed the strategy before the tournament started! Otherwise, it’s impossible for that punk to

perform that way!”

Chapter 1061

“Went easy on him?”

The First Elder could not bear to hear all those toxic words anymore. “First Madam, are you joking? It’s

clear that the battle just now was serious; Yule did not go easy on jackie at all! That was a test attack, but

Yule definitely did not go easy on jackie!”

The Third Elder—Wade White—sat aside, watching the commotion. He did not comment on anything,

but somehow his forehead puckered.

It was because he saw the attack clearly with his own naked eyes. That attack did not seem like Yule

was going easy on jackie deliberately.

“Could it be…could it be that this punk truly possesses the strength to get first place? Nash White has so

much confidence in him.”

Wade’s face went dull and gloomy. It seemed like there was only one way for him to grab the position of

the family head, which was to find a way to assassinate the First Elder and then murder jackie after Nash

dies from the poison.

By that time, his martial level would be the highest and strongest in the White family, and if he says that

he wanted to become the head of the White family, who would dare to disobey him?

At this moment, on top of the tournament stage number one, Yule charged toward jackie with her fist

clenched once again. She was surprised, at the same time, felt humiliated when she was blasted away

by jackie.

However, this time, there was a thin layer of light blue Chi wrapped around her clenched fist. Obviously,

her attack was much stronger and more terrifying than before; she actually controlled her Chi to surround

her fist to enhance her attack.

“It looks like I have underestimated you!”

When Yule came close to jackie, the corner of her mouth curled upward, and her fist lunged at jackie at a

lighting speed.

jackie responded quickly with a gripped fist. He, too, can control the Chi in his body well, and within a

second, a layer of light blue Chi embraced his fist.

Facing Yule’s attack, jackie balled his fist and blasted directly with Yule’s fist.

The sound of their clashing fist was so much louder than before, and the powerful impact blew Yule off

the tournament stage.

“I…”

Yule’s tongue was tied. She had not even used any martial arts technique and yet she was eliminated

from the competition by jackie just like that? With only a punch?

When realization finally dawned upon her, she was already standing under the stage, outside the

tournament ring.

“Thank you, Sister Yule! I’m sorry if I’ve harmed you. This is the only way for me to win this competition!”

jackie chuckled warmly, and then only he jumped down from the stage.

“There’s absolutely no faking in that punch just now! I didn’t expect that punk to be at the demi-god

level!”

The Third Elder gasped, at the same time, released a huge sigh of defeat. “Furthermore, looking at the

thickness and richness of the Chi of that punk, also his control over the Chi, I suspect that punk could

already be at the late stage or even the peak stage of the demi-god realm!”

“No freaking way! Is he really that strong?”

Lily was somewhat speechless; she could not deny jackie’s strength. jackie’s ability to use Chi to attack

had already shown that he was definitely a solid demi-god. That was something that could not be faked.

“Not bad, huh. You’re a lot stronger than me! Now I have faith in you to win first place!”

Yule approached jackie when she saw him jump down from the stage. “Now, go there and collect the

rewards for the top 50! Five Chi Congregation Pills!” Yule said to jackie with a bitter smile on her face.

Chapter 1062 “No freaking way! This punk defeated our stunning master Yule and got her eliminated

from the tournament? Hehe! This competition is out of the ordinary, isn’t this exciting?”

In the viewing stands, one of the heads of the White branch family could not hold back but to laugh

aloud.

“Yes, it’s indeed exciting and surprising! jackie was brought up and trained in a secular world, yet he

possesses such skill and achievement! I wonder, at which level his martial art status is currently at now.

It shouldn’t be weaker than any of the Whites!”

Another head of the White branch family chimed in.

The precious head of the White branch family then responded. “This shouldn’t be possible. We’re a great

and prominent family in the hidden world, and Yule is from the White main family. She should have a

better fighting technique and strategy. As for jackie, who defeated her, perhaps he has higher a martial

art status, most probably he’s at the late stage of the demi-god level.

“Haha! In fact, I do hope that brat could win the position of the heir of the family head. After all, only such

a person—who rises slowly from the mundane—will understand acquiring martial arts and improving

fighting prowess is hella difficult. I think it might be better for him to be the heir than the high and almighty

Lance. Lance is too proud, isn’t he?”

Another head of White’s branch family laughed out loud after giving some thoughts to the matter.

“Shush! Keep your voice down. You’ll be in big trouble if Lily overhears you! If that’s the case, the

resource for enhancing martial art status for the branch family will be halved next month! That woman

holds grudges for a long time!”

An old man who was standing beside the heads of White branch family reminded them in a panic tone.

The head of White’s branch family looked around, then whispered tensely, “We’re so far away though, it’s

not possible for her to overhear us, right? Speaking of her, this time her son has disappeared for so long

and still hasn’t been found, I guess he’s highly likely dead by now. Furthermore, the position of the heir to

the family head is now going into others’ hands. I guess she must be infuriating and seething!”

“Of course, she is upset! But she deserves it, doesn’t she? She always looks down on people whenever

and wherever she goes, especially members of the branches of the White family. We’re under her

barbaric management all this while; she requests for top-notch quality resources for the enhancement of

martial art status, and leaves us with only elementary and low-quality resources.”

The head of the White branch family released a huge sigh and said, “Sigh! We are only the members of

the branch family. If the branch family members want to grow, the main family members have to evolve

even more, hence it’s reasonable for us to hand all the good-quality resources to the main family so that

they can be stronger. Otherwise, the White family wouldn’t achieve what we have today, the White

wouldn’t be one of the Eight Shadow Families on this earth!”

“But, she is asking more and more every year, and I heard that the main person in charge of collecting

these resources is the Third Elder. This Third Elder has a close relationship with the wicked First Madam,

so I guess the request is ordered by the First Madam!”

The old man said with a stern tone.

At this time, jackie had claimed his five Chi Congregation Pills. He kept the five pills inside his martial

ring, only then he returned to the victor’s team.

“Kiddo, you’re not that bad at all! You won again, and you’re actually at the demi-god level. How

surprising!”

Suddenly, a man approached jackie with a sinister grin. It was Hudson—who had won the second round

and got into the third round.

“I have to win. In order to get the Cryo Pearl, the only way is for me to win this tournament!”

jackie studied the person in front of him as he spoke in a calm tone.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“Haha! Did you all hear that? This punk has declared his intention of coming to the White family! He is

eyeing on the Cryo Pearl! What does this say? It says that he wants to be number one!”

Hudson sneered sarcastically. He then turned to the crowd and uttered in a rough and loud voice, “Guys,

if any of you face him in the future rounds, don’t go easy on him, okay? And even if you win against him,

you’ve to cripple him. Otherwise, if we let this punk get the first place, we—the masters who were trained

in the White family—would be embarrassed, and others will think that we’re weaklings!”

“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely make sure he is bedridden for months if he is ever my opponent in the next

rounds!”

Chapter 1063 The tall and bulky Martin intervened in a gruff voice.

“That punk merely got lucky in the previous round and defeated Yule!”

Another man chimed in with a cold smile. “First, Yule simply didn’t expect for him to be at the demi-god

level, so Yule certainly didn’t use her full strength in the battle, giving him the advantage to win over her.

Second, Yule has not had the time to use her martial techniques and skills. Heh! If she had the time to

use them, or even take out weapons, it’d be easy-peasy for her to win that round!”

The man who chimed in after pondering was a ninth-grade grandmaster.

jackie did not bother paying attention to these men, instead, he sat down, crossed his legs, and waited

leisurely for the next round.

The contempt from these people, sooner or later, he would use his fists to respond and make them

understand that although he, jackie White, came from the mundane world, he was not any inferior to

these so-called masters of the White family.

jackie noticed the Third Elder from afar, who was at the high viewing platform. The only person that

concerned him was the Third Elder.

Because Titus had told him before that this Third Elder, Lily, and the Ninth Patronum—Brenton White—

were basically a team; they were close to each other. The Third Elder was very good at hiding himself in

the dark. A warm yet fake smile always hung on his face whenever he talked to someone. jackie thought

that he should be cautious of the Third Elder.

The most concerning thing was that the Third Elder’s martial art status and combat prowess were top-

notch. Other than the First Elder, only Nash White would be able to fight with him. But now that his father

was poisoned; therefore, the only person left who could hold the Third Elder was the First Elder.

jackie couldn’t care less about these so-called masters. He was already at the true god realm; with such

martial level and combat prowess, it was sufficient for him to defeat these masters easily.

Nonetheless, he was completely clueless about the Third Elder and his people. If the other party had

plotted a murder on him, he did not know if he was able to defeat them.

After all, jackie had never fought such a strong person before.

Soon, the second round was finally over.

“Next will be the third round! Listen carefully, in this round of competition, there are only five winners, the

top five. So this is another melee round, and it only ends when there’s only last five standing on the

stage!”

“And the top five candidates will be awarded a first-grade premium spirited grass!”

The Fourth Elder flew onto the stage and announced the rules for the third round aloud.

The candidates’ spirits were suddenly soaring high when they heard of the prize for the top five—the

spirited grass. They clearly did not see this coming; they did not expect the top five would receive such a

treasure.

“What’s a spirited grass? First-grade premium spirited grass? Is it something powerful? Why is

everybody so excited?”

At a spot under the stage, Selena asked with a puzzled face. jackie winning all the previous rounds was

within her expectation, after all, she knew very well that jackie’s martial art level was already at the

elementary stage of the true god level. Anyway, she still went and inquired about the masters and felt

instant relief when she knew of their martial art level.

She truly believed that the position of the first place in this tournament belonged to jackie.

Chapter 1064 Elaine—who was beside Selena—cast her a faint yet gentle smile, then she explained in a

casual tone, “Sister Selena, everything on this earth has spirit, including trees, grasses, and so on. If the

living things grow in a place where the spiritual energy is dense and rich, and is nourished by the spiritual

energy for a very long time, these grasses or whatever will become spirited. They will start to absorb the

spiritual energy around them.”

Selena nodded with confusion plastered on his face. “Everyone is really happy about this spirited grass.

What does it do though? Are its benefits truly amazing?”

“Of course, it’s amazing! It’s arduous and hard to find spirited grass, which makes it extremely rare.

These spirited grasses not only have to grow in a place with a high density of spiritual energy, but age is

important, too. The older the age of the spirited grass, the rarer and the better it is!”

“Besides, we will look into their degree of richness of the spiritual energy in them and categorize them

into grades accordingly. There’s a total of nine grades, the first grade is the lowest of quality and the

ninth is the highest. Within its own grade, we further divide them into elementary, intermediate, and

premium. These spirited grasses help us to enhance our martial art status and combat prowess faster

than usual.”

Elaine smiled warmly and explained to Selena in a patient manner.

“Wow! If one has consumed enough spirited grass, does it mean that he could enhance his combat

prowess and martial level faster and greater?”

Ben—who was beside Selena—could not help but exclaim aloud at Elaine’s explanation. His eyes lit up

and were full of desire, as though he had found the love of his life.

A strong fighter, who did not want to become a strong existence? A strong fighter like jackie, he could kill

dozens and even up to hundreds of men with just a wave of his palm.

In the past, Ben did not know of any of these, hence he naturally had no desire for martial prowess. Now

that he had learned about all these, he naturally had the desire to become stronger.

The only way to protect his family was to become stronger. He was a grown-up; he did not want to be

protected by Elaine all the time. He wanted to protect her too.

“That’s certain. But the speed of enhancing the martial art status depends heavily on the techniques

used. The higher the level of technique, the faster you gain enhancement in your martial prowess!”

Elaine smiled, paused, and continued. “Well. It’s like a game; it’s always easy to gain enhancement in

martial art status when you first start practicing it. And it grows harder and harder as you reach a higher

level. When you reach the ninth-grade grandmaster level, it basically depends largely on your talent to

breakthrough and go into the next level. But, for some people, they could not even reach the first-grade

grandmaster level. Hence, it largely depends on a person’s talent, resources, and techniques. These are

all inter-related!”

Selena was shocked upon hearing Elaine’s words. “It’s really not easy, isn’t it? Sigh! I wonder how my

natural talent is in this area. Sigh! I don’t want to become a burden to jackie all the time and ask for his

help.”

“Don’t worry, Sister Selena. I have faith in you. You’re definitely more talented than most of the people!”

Elaine chuckled. “Besides, when Brother jackie becomes the heir to the family head, he’ll surely give you

some superb pills like Chi Congregation Pills to help you in improving your martial art status. You’re at

the early stage, so it’d be fast for you to improve your martial art status, and even faster with all those

pills and herbs!”

Selena bobbed her head cutely after thinking about what Elaine said. But she was quick to wonder about

some questions. “This is strange though. These masters are already at a high level of martial art status,

why are they still happy about the first-grade spiritual grass? Didn’t you just say that the ninth grade is

the best? So, first-grade ones are not even that precious, right?

Ben was in the same confusion as Selena was. “Yeah, why are they happy over the first-grade spirited

grass?”

Elaine returned with a bitter smile. “The grading system is what I heard from the older generation. It was

passed down from generation to generation. But, in reality, even a third-grade spirited grass is extremely

rare, not to mention a ninth grade. All these grasses are considered supreme treasures. Moreover, for a

ninth-grade grandmaster martial artist or even a demi-god level artist, even a first-grade spirited grass

could help them a lot!”

Chapter 1065 Here, Elaine paused for a while before continuing, “That’s why a lot of people doubt if a

third or fourth grade or higher-grade spirited grass even exists—because no one’s ever seen it before.

Besides, there’s another legend that’s even more exciting. Who knows if it’s true!”

“What legend is this?”

Selena and Ben asked simultaneously.

Elaine smiled. “The highest status a chi warrior can attain as of now is to be at the peak of the true god

status. It’s very difficult to improve once you’ve hit that stage since we don’t have any martial art skills

that advance beyond that. Still, there’s a legend that says that it’s possible to achieve something even

more—the ultimate god status.”

Elaine thought about it, then she looked at the siblings before him, utterly solemn. “According to the

legends, you’ll be able to prolong your life when you hit the ultimate god status,” she said. “Apparently,

you’ll be able to live until two hundred years-old!”

“No way!”

Selena and Ben took a sharp intake of breath, wondering if they had heard her wrong. If the legends

were true, then someone of that status could live until they were two hundred years old. Who would not

want something like that?

Besides, a person of the true god status was frightening enough. A person with the ultimate god status

must be exceedingly strong.

“The competition has started. Let’s go watch. These are just legends; no one knows if they’re true. Heh.

The eight shadow families are all trying to unearth this mystery. They’ve been to so many dangerous

places, but they haven’t found a single clue even after so many years. That’s why I think it’s likely that all

these legends are just legends!”

Elaine flashed a hapless smile. “If there really is an eighth or ninth-grade spirited grass existing out there,

they must contain unimaginable amounts of chi. And it might just make my body explode in an instant.

After all, there’s no way a body like mine can take in that much energy.”

At that moment, fifty contestants were left on the fighting stage. Only five would advance to the next

round after the melee battle. It was evident that the competition was far fiercer than the previous melee.

After all, everyone who was still standing there were all strong fighters—at least seventh to ninth-grade

grandmasters. Only fighters like that stood a chance to hold on until then.

“Heh. You won’t escape this time, jackie!”

Before the fight even began, Hudson already had his eyes pinned on jackie, arms folded across his

chest, and a cold smile on his lips.

“Heh. I wasn’t planning on that!”

jackie could not help but gave a bitter smile. “You leave me with no choice then,” he said, “since you’re

so eager to be eliminated!”

“Let the round begin!”

The Fourth Elder stood on the tip of her toes then flew off the stage. Then she announced in a clear

voice.

Chapter 1066 “Hmph!” Upon the sound indicating that the competition had begun, Hudson—who had

achieved the final stage of his demi-god level power—balled his hand tightly. His fist emitted Chi as he

rushed toward jackie.

“Not wasting a single second, huh?” jackie’s lips shifted into a smirk as he noted that ferocity in wanting

to eliminate him, and his tightly clenched fist was covered with a thick layer of Chi.

All so suddenly, however, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him like a flash of lightning as they met

Hudson’s punch with their own.

“Beth?” jackie dismissed the Chi covering his fist and was slightly surprised.

A powerful explosion could be heard as they both flew backward several meters due to the sheer force

before they could regain their footing.

There was not much difference between their true powers.

“Beth White!” The enraged Hudson gave Beth a disgusted glare as he growled, “What’s the meaning of

this? You want this illegitimate child who returned from the outside world to win this competition? Do you

want every White here to lose their dignity? Haha…! How shameful would we be when news about this

got spread outside? They’d say that masters like us can’t even compare to someone who returned from

the outside world!”

Beth met Hudson’s glare. “I’m sorry Hudson, but there’s nothing shameful about this. In my opinion,

jackie is a member of the White family, and more importantly, he’s also the White family master. jackie’s

ability shows how powerful the White family’s younger generation is. He’s able to grow, even though he

went to a place that didn’t have enough Chi. To me, that’s not a shameful thing. Instead, it’s a good thing

and something worth showing off!”

“You…” Hudson was angry when he heard what Beth said, but he had no way of fighting back. “Haha…

What you’re saying is a fallacy. I’m going to ask you this: Are you getting out of my way?”

“No!” answered Beth, no hesitation in the way she responded.

Beth then looked at jackie who was beside her and said. “ jackie, this guy keeps pinpointing on you. I

know that your fighting prowess isn’t bad, so why don’t we work together? We’d have one less

competitor if we eliminate Hudson first.”

It was true that people like Hudson and Beth, who were at the last stage of the demi-god level, were rare

among the younger masters in the White’s main family.

They were the ones that had the highest hope of winning the competition.

The only person who could surpass them was Lance as he had already surpassed the demi-god level

capstone and was one step away from the first stage of the real god-level.

Still, there was a possibility Lance was dead after being missing for a couple of months. Under such

circumstances, Hudson, Beth, and other prodigies were the ones with the highest hope of winning the

competition and becoming the family master’s inheritor.

“Beth White, you’re really shameless! You actually want to work with this guy and get me eliminated?”

Hudson’s face turned pale from anger after he heard what Beth said.

Chapter 1067 After all, jackie had already eliminated Yule, who was also a strong fighter. Even though it

was due to Yule’s carelessness, it proved that jackie was a rather remarkable fighter. Hudson had no

confidence in winning if jackie and Beth worked together.

“Nash White, you’re still telling me that you didn’t arrange this? This is obviously your doing, and you’ve

gone all out for your son!” Lily, who was on the observing platform, almost burst in anger. She looked at

Nash angrily and seethed, “You asked Beth and Yule to protect your son during the first round, and you

then cheated during the second round and asked Yule to purposely lose to jackie. Now, you’ve changed

the third round into a group-fight and had Beth helping him. Haha… He’ll definitely be in the top five with

your help, won’t he?”

“You’re really…rea
