No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 2555

All he wanted to do was for both of their results to be announced. Then he would throw his results at Jackie so

Jackie would stop being so arrogant. That way, he would be able to vent out his frustrations.

Yet, Elder Eliot seemed so hesitant, which caused Harold to lose his patience. He could not help but say, “Elder Eliot,

how are my results?”

After thinking about it, Harold felt like asking about Jackie’s results would seem a little forceful.

It was better to ask about his results first before trying to prod at Jackie’s results. That way, Jackie would be able to

feel the difference between the two of them.

Elder Eliot raised an eyebrow, picking up the parchment before he said, “There’s nothing too special about your

results this time, but you still remain in the top ten.

You’re in tenth place.

“You managed to finish sixty percent of the pill runes, but out of the sixty percent, eight out of ten of them were not

at the sixty percent refinement mark. Honestly, I’m not happy with your results!”

As he said that, Elder Eliot looked at Harold unhappily. Harold’s lips froze as his body could not help but sway. He

knew that his results this time were not the best.

It was mainly because he had not been in the best mood.

The moment he calmed down, he would immediately think about how disrespectful Jackie was.

Those harsh words kept attacking him, causing him to find himself unable to calm down.

It was natural that he could not get good results with a frustrated mindset. Harold’s face was a little pale. Even

though he did not have results that were as good as he wanted, it should still be much better than Jackie.

Thinking about that, he immediately turned around and looked at Jackie with a challenging expression again. When

Jackie felt Harold’s gaze, Jackie’s lips twitched slightly.

He really wanted to rush in front of Harold and tell Harold to stop with those petty actions.

He wanted nothing more than to just quietly wait for the results.

Harold’s sudden turn of the head had been seen by Elder Eliot as well. Naturally, Elder Eliot was not thrilled.

“You have no right to try and show off in front of Jackie because his results were better than yours. He got the fifth

place!”

The moment Elder Eliot said that the entire field was shocked.

Everyone widened their eyes, thinking that they had misheard. Jackie had gotten fifth place? Was that true?

Surely they were hallucinating, right? Otherwise, how could they have heard such an absurd result?! The one who

questioned it immediately was none other than Harold.

He shouted out, “Elder Eliot, what did you say? Jackie is in fifth place?”

Elder Eliot had already expected that to happen. He did not hesitate to nod and replied, “Jackie managed to finish

eighty percent of the pill runes. All of those runes were at sixty percent refinement.”

Elder Eliot announced all that with a serious expression, so there was naturally no room for doubt. However, despite

that, everyone could not help but be filled with disbelief.

Chapter 2556

How could Jackie be so talented? He had never even attended a single class and still managed to achieve such

results. That kid really was something else.

No wonder he managed to keep his head up high no matter what Harold said. He actually had the skills to back it

up!

Harold’s breathing started to get erratic at that. His whole face reddened and his hands started to shake as he said,

“Impossible! How could he manage to finish eighty percent?! He doesn’t have that ability! He absolutely doesn’t

have that ability. I guarantee that he doesn’t!”

Those words were all practically shouted by Harold. At that moment, Harold could no longer keep his composure,

and everything he said seemed crazed.

Elder Eliot frowned and said, “Keep your composure. If you keep on acting this way,

I’ll throw you straight to the disciplinary elder. Then you’ll learn what behaving yourself means!”

Those words successfully woke Harold up. He knew that he was too emotional, but he could not stand it. He could

not believe that Jackie was actually talented enough to beat him!

Elder Eliot coldly laughed, “Why wouldn’t he be able to do this? Why would he not have the talent? How much do

you know about him to dare make that judgment?”

At that moment, Harold’s face was absolutely red. His face had a crazed expression on it. He could not accept

Jackie’s results. He could not accept that Jackie was better than him. Before that, he had been certain that his

talents and abilities were far better than Jackies.

Jackie was only able to be so arrogant because Jackie was ignorant. That ignorance caused him to not know his

limits. Yet, reality proved that his thoughts had all been false.

He was not as good as Jackie. Jackie had been so arrogant because Jackie had known what he was capable of. That

large change could not be accepted by Harold.

He had always been the one who was put on the pedestal. He had always been praised by everyone. Johnson knew

that Harold could not accept the fact at that moment, but Johnson had no idea what to say to Harold.

Even Johnson could not accept the reality.

Harold’s hands were shaking when he said, “He must have cheated! This must be from cheating. If he hadn’t

cheated, there’s no way he would have gotten this result. He’s clearly a newcomer.

“He had never even attended a single one of your classes. Those new pill runes had

probably never even been seen by him before. If that’s the case, how could he finish eighty percent of them?

Everything is fake. He’s absolutely cheating!”

Harold sounded incredibly crazy. He wanted to tell everyone present that Jackie had absolutely gotten those results

from some form of cheating. Jackie was not as talented as himself!

Elder Eliot sighed in exasperation. As he returned to the hall earlier, he had also anticipated the fact that the results

would not be accepted so easily. However, he had not expected Harold to act so crazily.

Harold was trying to say anything to prove that Jackie was not any better than him. If that had happened to any

other elder, they might have consoled Harold. After all, Harold was a rare master, but Elder Eliot did not have that

in mind at all.

He frowned as he said, “Stop trying to lie to yourself. Everyone here knows that it’s

impossible to cheat on that test earlier. The test is about condensing pill runes. Every single thing you do in that test

is down to your own abilities.”

Chapter 2557 “You keep saying that Jackie cheated, so tell me how he cheated? How is he supposed to cheat to end

up with eighty percent of the pill runes?”

Those words successfully caused Harold to pale. Elder Eliot’s questions made sense. Since Harold felt like Jackie was

cheating, then he should tell everyone how he cheated.

Those tests were focused on testing actual skills. There was no way to cheat unless Jackie gave his condensing card

to someone else.

However, everyone could clearly see that Jackie had not handed his condensing card to anyone else. Everyone

could be a witness to that.

Harold looked like a tomato at that moment. He could not refute Elder Eliot’s words at all, nor did he know what to

say.

However, he still refused to believe what had happened. He was not even willing to look at Jackie, afraid that Jackie

would mock him. That would be too heavy of a blow to take.

Johnson reached out to grab Harold’s arm. “Harold… His results must be right. It’s fine, there’s no reason to

continue talking about it.”

Johnson’s words caused Harold to slowly calm down. However, his face was still pale. Elder Eliot sighed helplessly as

he handed the parchment to Harold so Harold could take a look.

Harold shakily reached his hand out and accepted the scroll. Jackie’s results suddenly appeared in front of him.

Jackie was in fifth place with his results written there.

Each of the pill runes had achieved a sixty percent refinement. It was exactly like Elder Eliot had said, Jackie had

completed eighty percent of them. Not one more or one less.

Thankfully, Harold still had his wits about him. Otherwise, he would have let it slip that he wanted to look at the

condensing card that Jackie had just used. If he had done that, he would probably have invited Elder Eliot’s anger.

He spat out in resignation as he looked down at his own results. His results were not the greatest this time. He was

placed tenth and not many of his pill runes had qualified.

The other pill runes were not at sixty percent refinement at all. The two of them were clearly on different levels.

When he saw that, Harold suddenly let out a laugh. His laughter stunned everyone present.

Everyone shot him a strange look. Harold was actually able to laugh at that time. What was he laughing about?

When they looked at Harold laughing, they immediately saw that Harold’s laugh did

not reach his eyes at all. He was not actually laughing. He had just lost control of himself.

“This is too funny! It’s way too funny!” Harold could not help but mumble to himself.

From the moment Elder Eliot had entered the hall, he had thought of asking about his results before asking for

Jackies. That way, he would let Jackie know the difference between them.

Yet, the end result was that there really was a difference between the two of them, but it was the complete

opposite! Elder Eliot knew that Harold’s emotions were incredibly complicated at that moment.

Yet, time was still ticking. They could not delay things just because of Harold. Elder Eliot reached out and grabbed

the parchment from Harold’s hand.

Chapter 2558 He calmly started reading out the results to everyone present. Those with better results rejoiced in

their heads. Those whose results were not good looked just like Harold earlier and were reminiscent of tomatoes.

The results were read from top to bottom.

At the start, Elder Eliot’s tone was still calm. The more he read, the more sour the look on his face became. When

he read the last five people, he already had a frown on his face.

When it came to the last name, Elder Eliot reached out and put the parchment into his pocket. His tone was cold,

“Who is Rudy Glasc?!”

When he asked that, Rudy was so scared his whole body shivered. He looked like a terrified rabbit. Jackie helplessly

looked at Rudy next to him.

At that moment, Rudy felt like dying. If he were able to, he’d have dug a hole in the ground.

“Let me say this again! Who is Rudy Glasc?!” That should cause Rudy to be unable to hide. All he could do was

retract his earlier thoughts.

He reluctantly raised his hand. When Rudy raised it, Elder Eliot let out a cold laugh.

“In all my years of invigilating tests, it’s the first time I’ve seen an alchemist scoring a zero. I see you have a six

rank alchemist badge. You might have been tested before you came here.

“I don’t know who actually allowed you to pass the test to be a sixth-grade alchemist. If I find out who it is, I have to

ask him how someone as clueless as you managed to become a sixth-grade alchemist!”

Those words deeply embarrassed Rudy. He really wanted to say something for himself at that moment, because he

definitely did

not cheat on the test.

However, his results were plain for all to see. Anything he said would be useless. Elder Eliot did not care about all

that.

“He scored a zero! Even I’m impressed.” With Elder Eliot’s words, everyone started to mock Rudy.

The first time, they had covered their mouths. When they saw that Elder Eliot did not stop them, they did not hold

back.

“I remember he came with Jackie. I can’t believe their results are so different. I thought birds of the same feather

flock together.”

“I heard that the two of them are newcomers. Newcomers normally don’t do very well but I have not seen anyone

do this badly, he actually got a zero!”

“Of the pill runes he condensed, he did not even get a single one right. That’s hilarious. He actually dared to

participate in a test

with his level. Isn’t he afraid of getting laughed at?”

Rudy’s head lowered more and more at those words. The fire of anger started to roar in his head. His fists were

clenched tightly as he swore to regain his dignity. He would make sure that everyone present would no longer dare

to underestimate him.

Jackie looked at Elder Eliot and saw that Elder Eliot did not plan on saying anything, so he said, “Elder Eliot, you’re

right. It’s not good to have such horrible results. However, he came with me. He just became a sixth-grade

alchemist. Being able to condense a pill rune of fifty percent refinement is already the best he can do.”

After saying that, Jackie said, “That’s right since the results are out, can you pay up for the bet, Harold?”

Chapter 2559 Those words served as a reminder to everyone present, and also managed to quiet down everyone

that was there. Then did they remember the bet Harold had with Jackie.

If Jackie managed to get into the top fifty, Harold would have to give Jackie five thousand spirit crystals. When the

two of them placed that bet, no one believed in Jackie.

They had thought that Jackie was a mindless idiot.

Now it looked like Jackie was merely confident in his own skills.

Since he had those skills, it was natural for him to place that bet. Harold’s face suddenly paled, and his expression

started to sink.

He looked at Jackie with a complicated expression.

When Jackie saw that Harold was not reacting, he raised his voice, “Are you planning on not paying up? Are you

trying to void the bet? It looks like we really should have made a soul contract just now, then you wouldn’t be able

to regret things.”

Jackie’s words were a slap to Harold’s face.

Harold’s body shook in anger as he straightened his back, “Who said I wasn’t going to pay up? It’s only five

thousand spirit crystals. It’s nothing to me!”

After he said that, he furiously retrieved five thousand spirit crystals from his storage and gave them to Jackie.

Jackie raised an eyebrow as he calmly stored those spirit crystals into Mustard Seed.

Elder Eliot nodded as he said, “If you’re willing to place the bet, then you should be willing to accept your loss.

That’s the way of a true man.”

Harold felt incredibly embarrassed and wanted nothing more than to smash his head into a pillar. Johnson hurriedly

grabbed Harold’s arm as he whispered,

“Let’s go. Since the results are already out, there’s no reason to stay here. We still have to attend classes

tomorrow.”

Harold sighed as he rubbed his chin, trying his best to suppress his complicated feelings.

After that, he bowed to Elder Eliot and said he was not feeling well and wanted to be excused to head back to rest.

Elder Eliot did not make things too difficult for him and merely waved Harold off. After Harold left, everyone else

started to leave as well.

Jackie did not want to stay in the crowd either. After making sure that the reward would be sent to their courtyard,

Jackie immediately left the Elder Hall.

The moment he returned, he arranged for Lou to collect his rewards. On the way back, Rudy had been quite

depressed, Rudy merely followed behind Jackie with his head hung low.

Jackie did not say anything. He had merely

helped Rudy a little earlier as a casual gesture. After all, Jackie was not all that close to Rudy.

When he was about to enter his own room, Rudy suddenly shouted at Jackie, “Thank you for your help today,

Jackie.”

Jackie raised an eyebrow. He had thought that Rudy would not express any gratitude to him. After all, Rudy was

usually so prideful, but he suddenly turned humble. Jackie nodded without turning around, it was not a big gesture

to him.

The only thing he wanted to do at that moment was to hurry back into his room. Once Lou came back with the

rewards, he would start refining the Green Sun Pill.

Just as Jackie opened his door, Rudy once again shouted out, “Jackie, I didn’t plan on telling you this before, but

after thinking about it, I feel like I have to.”

Rudy’s tone was very strange. There was a hint of anxiety in his sombreness. Jackie frowned as he turned to look at

Rudy who still looked as depressed as he was before.

Jackie then furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”

Chapter 2560

Rudy took a deep breath and said, “Ever since Grayson bid us farewell and headed to his courtyard, I haven’t seen

him at all.

“I don’t know anyone here other than you and him, so I felt like looking for him when I was free. However, he did

not seem to be there every time I went over. I asked the person who is staying in the same courtyard as him, but

the guy claims to have never met Grayson.”

Jackie said curiously, “He never met Grayson? Do you mean Grayson is missing? He went missing in Phoenix

Valley?”

Rudy nodded seriously, “I felt like something was wrong, so I found the time to look for Mr. Zayne. However, what

made it stranger was that Mr. Zayne told me to mind my own business.

“He told me that you and I were safe. He said to not ask about anything else and to not think about it either. After

that, he sent me back.”

Saying that Rudy had a sour look on his face. It was evident how scared he was from his expression. Jackie’s

eyebrows furrowed even further.

The two of them knew that Grayson’s disappearance is not something as simple as that.

Otherwise, Mr. Zayne would not have said what he did. Jackie took a deep breath as he pushed open the door to his

room. After that, he waved at Rudy to come in and talk.

When the two of them went inside, Jackie poured Rudy a cup of tea. Sipping the tea, Rudy managed to regain some

of his composure.

“That’s one of the reasons I insisted on following you around. I’m not an idiot, I know you don’t want me around

you. I’m just afraid. I’m worried that something might happen to me at any time if I don’t follow you.

“Mr. Zayne was very direct when he said everything. When he talked to me, he had a strange expression. Those

words seemed to have been meant to threaten me. He doesn’t want me meddling.”

Jackie nodded as he drank a mouthful of tea. Ever since they entered Phoenix Valley, Jackie had forgotten all about

Grayson. After all, Jackie was someone with big ambitions.

He had never been someone to hold petty grudges. Even though Grayson had infuriated Jackie before, Jackie lost

the urge to do anything to Grayson as time passed.

He never expected such a sinister plot to be involved when he next heard that name. Jackie took a deep breath as

he started to have a worried expression as well.

Jackie had always been someone who held back from showing his emotions, but after hearing Rudy’s words, it was

hard for him

to control his expressions.

“So you’re telling me that he’s never been. seen after he left for his own courtyard. Either he’s completely lost, or

he was captured by someone.”

Rudy nodded seriously. It really did happen that way. Ever since Grayson bid them farewell, Grayson seemed to

completely disappear from Phoenix Valley.

“This has to have been done by Phoenix Valley, but why would they kidnap Grayson and even threaten me…”

Jackie took a deep breath as his mind raced. After thinking about it for a while, he said, “He was kidnapped in broad

daylight. We don’t know what his situation is like right now. What he really needs to know isn’t where he is, but why

he was taken.

“Even though Mr. Zayne sounded nice when he said the two of us were safe, it did not mean that things were as

safe as Mr. Zayne claimed. He probably just said that to placate us. “
