No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 2465

Jackie’s words had been incredibly venomous. He had pinned the blame on Rudy for not joining Golden Pills.

If Jackie got more and more talented, Golden Pills might actually consider kicking Rudy out to make Jackie a formal

student!

Sure enough, the moment Jackie finished, Constance was deep in thought. It was as if he was seriously considering

the possibility. Before the vice treasurer exploded, Jackie hurriedly turned over and winked at the vice treasurer.

The vice treasurer immediately understood what Jackie was doing. He suppressed the anger in his heart as he said

nothing.

At that moment, a bang was suddenly heard behind them. A few of them turned around to look and saw that

Rudy’s furnace had a small explosion. The medicinal liquids splattered everywhere.

Rudy’s first try had been a total failure! Jackie smirked coldly. Logically, the first step should have been the easiest.

Mistakes should never be made at that step.

Rudy’s medicinal liquids had exploded because of his errant thoughts. He had heard everything Jackie had said

earlier.

Jackie had managed to shut off everything else when he was refining earlier, but Rudy had been unable to

completely focus on everything with his thoughts all over the place.

When he heard those words that Jackie had deliberately targeted at him, Rudy naturally lost his composure. With

Jackie’s talents already causing Rudy’s whole body to tremble, he lost control of the balance for a moment and

caused the furnace to explode.

Looking at that sight, Constance frowned as he walked forward and said, “Rudy! Did you not hear what I said

earlier? If you mess this up, you’ll definitely be punished when you get back! Throw those dumb thoughts away

right now!

“You can’t make any more mistakes. Don’t forget, you only have three chances. You’ve already ruined one right at

the first step, so what if you make another mistake?! You know the consequences!”

Constance had forced out the last few words through clenched teeth. It was obvious how angry Constance was at

that moment.

Jackie let out a cold laugh. That was exactly what he had wanted. Elder Horst glanced over at Jackie and had

naturally caught Jackie’s smile. He suddenly laughed as he told the servant behind him, “Bring Jackie to the back

hall. After that, give him the sixth grade alchemist badge and make a record for him. I’ll make more arrangements

after the test.”

The servant behind elder Horst hurriedly nodded. The servant hurried over and motioned to Jackie. Jackie let out an

exasperated sigh, he was still not that good at controlling his own expressions.

He should not have let out that laugh earlier. Otherwise, he would have been able to pull off more tricks. He wanted

to at least ruin that guy’s test.

After all, that guy kept on causing him trouble. If Jackie let Rudy off like that, Rudy might think that Jackie was an

easy target.

Yet, it seemed like Elder Horst was not going to give him any chance to do that. Jackie let out a sigh, not saying

anything else as he followed the servant to the back hall

Chapter 2466

Jackie was led to a solitary room, one adorned with furnishings and an elegantly decorated layout. There were even

various refreshments on the table, and a faint floral fragrance permeated the room.

The servant invited Jackie to sit down before he said, ” Please wait here. After the test, Elder Horst will make his

arrangements. Call me should you need anything; I’ll be right outside the door.”

The servant bowed at Jackie before he turned and left the room, leaving only Jackie inside.

Jackie sighed in helplessness as he muttered to himself, “I must have better control over my expressions next

time…”

If Elder Horst had not noticed it, Jackie could have stayed and got his scheme to work, making things difficult for the

other two. It was only Rudy who had been affected at that moment, while Grayson did not suffer too much.

That was what Jackie regretted, but such laments were pointless for the moment. With that, Jackie placed these

thoughts aside before he sat down to train.

Ever since he came to Middle Province, he had not! Had the chance to calm down and train. He had even focused

solely on alchemy, which no doubt affected his martial advancements.

Jackie had formally become a student of the alliance and a sixth-grade alchemist, much to his relief.

He needed to catch up on his training, however. He had only managed to get Destroying the Void to the second

stage. He was still a bit far from the third stage, and he had to hurry.

After absorbing the Formational True Energy, his strength was already close to a breakthrough. He was close to

achieving the spring solidifying realm, but he was still too weak at that moment. Only by stepping into the spring

solidifying realm would he be able to have the most basic ability to protect himself.

Jackie would be able to enter a few hidden ancient realms. To Jackie, eight hours passed by in a flash. When the

door opened again, Jackie was a little surprised.

In walked Elder Horst, smiling as he did, and following after him were Rudy and Grayson, both seemingly at peace.

It was obvious from their expressions that the two of them had passed.

They were already sixth-grade alchemists just like he was, or they would not have looked so pleased.

When Jackie stood up, Elder Horst motioned for Jackie to come forward

From his storage ring, Elder Horst produced a golden badge. On the badge was the word ‘Six’, and there were

countless small symbols around it. Elder Horst gave the badge to Jackie once Jackie walked up to him.” This is your

badge.”

All of a sudden, Elder Horst then ordered, seemingly directed to whoever was outside, “There’s not much more

time, hurry on inside!”

Jackie frowned when he saw two other people hurrying in from outside. They looked to be in their forties or fifties,

with beards and seemingly fierce expressions to boot.

Jackie could not tell how strong the two of them were at that moment.

Elder Horst introduced Jackie and the others, “The one on the left is Aston Cain, and on the left is Martin Lemming.

They’re both deacons who’ll be bringing you to Phoenix Valley.”

This stunned Jackie. Where was Phoenix Valley? Why were they ushered to this location so quickly? What awaited

them there?

Jackie did not want to depart before knowing the whole situation fully, but he was not in the position to decide that.

If he rejected even that order, the alliance would not trust him in the future and would not give him the resources

he needed.

Even if he was unwilling, Jackie did not voice his objection immediately. Jackie merely kept silent and looked on

quietly.

Elder Horst continued, “I said we needed to recruit five students this time. The other two aren’t able to match you

three in potential, so they’ll remain here for now.”

Chapter 2467 “The three of you are special, and sending you to Phoenix Valley is what the higher-ups desire.

Phoenix Valley is a very special place for the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance. A lot of things are happening

today, so it’s not good for you to remain here.”

Elder Horst then took a deep breath. It was as if there was something he could not say, a secret buried deep in his

mind.

Jackie frowned at that. Phoenix Valley did not seem to be anywhere too dangerous, and nothing treacherous should

be lurking there. It was just that he did not know if Phoenix Valley was in the inner or outer region.

As Jackie mulled over the matter, Elder Horst once more spoke, “Alright, let us not dilly-dally. I’ve already prepared

the spirit vessel. There’s no need to say your goodbyes either; I’ll let them know.

“Phoenix Valley is a good place. Make sure you properly practice alchemy when you’re there. Your future will be

very bright.”

Elder Horst did not dawdle any longer. He shot a look at Martin and Aston, and the two of them nodded. They then

brought Jackie and the other two to a spirit vessel.

They were still reeling in disbelief at that point, even as they got into the small vessel. Everything had happened too

quickly, and they barely had time to digest it all.

The small vessel was a lot smaller than the vessel they had just come from. The spirit vessel could only fit five to six

people. Aston and Martin were the ones controlling the vessel.

One of them steered the vessel from the inside while the other looked out for danger outside. Jackie and the others

merely rested inside quietly.

The three of them had quite the complicated relationship

Grayson might have had a temporary truce with Rudy before, but they still did not see eye-to-eye. After both of

them completed the test and became sixth-grade alchemists, they were at odds once again.

The three of them were at a corner each, distancing themselves from each other as much as they could. It was as

if none of them wanted to have anything to do with one another at all.

Jackie was actually quite happy with this.

He did not like exchanging empty pleasantries, especially when the interactions were meaningless. What Jackie was

the most worried about at that point was what sort of place Phoenix Valley was and what he would encounter when

he arrived.

It had already been ten hours since they left. Earlier, he had asked Martin when they would arrive at Phoenix Valley,

Martin showed him three fingers. “At least three days.”

The answer stunned Jackie. The small vessel might not be able to carry a lot of people, but it was no slow vessel at

all. Three days would mean they would be traversing a lot of space. Jackie wondered where in Middle Province they

were headed to.

He had wanted to ask even more questions, but Martin seemed so distant and apathetic, as if he did not want to

bother with Jackie and the others.

Jackie was forced to put his questions aside for the moment.

Out of the blue…

“So it’s you!” an exclamation was heard.

Jackie jumped, thinking that something had happened. Martin immediately stood up as he ordered, “None of you

are allowed to come out. No matter what happens, pretend you didn’t hear anything!”

Martin seemed incredibly stern at that point. Jackie had stood up as well, but he still looked relatively calm.

Meanwhile, Grayson and Rudy seemed terrified.

Martin gave out those instructions before rushing out. He shut the door behind him before noises were heard

outside. A battle had taken place.

Chapter 2468 It did not sound like the battle had ceased at all from the moment Martin got out. Jackie, Grayson,

and Rudy were rooted, stone-faced even. None of them were all that calm.

Something had happened outside, and it was not something to joke about.

They were no masters nor venerable fighters. If anything happened outside, their lives could very well be lost there.

Jackie, at least, seemed to be in control over himself. Even though a lot was going on in his mind at that moment,

he could still manage himself as he assessed the situation, planning what he would do if anything went awry.

The other two could not even remain calm, especially Grayson who looked incredibly aghast. His hands were

trembling, and his mouth was twitching.

It was obvious that Grayson was close to losing his mind. The sounds from the clash that took place outside

intermingled with shouts and yells, and it grew louder by the moment, too. Martin and Aston were both talking, but

it was hard to tell what they were talking about.

“What’s happening? Why is there a sudden ambush? Did we pass a dangerous path or something? Is it a rival?!”

blurted Grayson, his voice evidently unstable as he babbled.

Rudy glanced at Grayson before saying, “Don’t forget that we’re currently in a ship provided by the alliance. Don’t

we all know what the alliance is? Which group would start a conflict with the alliance? It’s just an alliance that helps

out alchemists. Normally, there shouldn’t be any conflict with anyone that powerful…”

Saying that, Rudy felt like there was no weight to his words. If it was not someone with a grudge, what was that yell

from earlier about, before Martin stepped outside? That was impossible to explain.

Still, Rudy could not imagine who would have such a grudge against the alliance to start such a conflict, even trying

to kill them on the journey.

Grayson then argued, his eyes red-rimmed and breaths erratic, “The question is, what’s the point of killing us? We

might be a little talented, but we’ve only just turned into sixth-grade alchemists. We can’t really affect anyone! Why

would they try to kill us?”

Rudy nodded meaningfully at those words.

Even if the enemy wanted to kill them, there should have been a meaning to the assault. The three of them had

just turned into sixth-grade alchemists, and the news about it should not have been leaked yet.

Even if talent was valuable, it meant nothing in the eyes of those truly powerful. After all, talent could sometimes be

exhausted, and no one could truly know if it would blossom.

Sixth-grade alchemists might be respected, but the truly respectable figures are all seventh or eighth grade

alchemists. Sixth-grade alchemists were still too low ranked in that regard!

Thinking about that, Rudy stood up, his emotions whirling within him. “Do any of you have some sort of special

identity? Are you enemies trying to pursue you?”

Saying that, Rudy’s eyes widened. He viciously stared at the two in front of him, not able to think of who would want

to kill them.

Since he could not figure it out, there might be another reason for it. For instance, the one they wanted to kill might

have nothing to do with the alliance. They might want to kill just one person.

If that was the case, he would just have been dragged into this mess!

Chapter 2469 The more Rudy thought about it, the angrier he became, believing his assumption to be true after all.

He could not help but raise his voice as his hands trembled, “I’m telling you two: No matter who attracted the

assassins, you’d better suffer the consequences! Don’t pull me into your mess!

“I’ve always been very careful with what I do, never misstepping.” Rudy’s breathing started to quicken as he spoke.

“I’ve never provoked any powerful figures before, so I don’t want any of you to drag me down with you!”

Grayson’s face reddened in fury upon hearing Rudy’s words. If the situation had allowed it, he would have rushed

over to Rudy and screamed.

“Stop assuming things so rashly about us! You’ve never offended anyone, so does that mean we have? Don’t talk

about yourself as if you’re some saint, alright?

“With how your character is, could you have not offended anyone? Who knows; you might be the culprit here. Why

are you so insistent that these enemies are targeting one person?”

Rudy’s nostrils flared as he pointed a finger at Grayson. “What do you mean by that?! Quit insulting me-I’ve never

offended anyone important in my life!

“I know how you normally act. You keep wagging your tail. If you haven’t offended anyone, I’ll take up your name in

the future.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“Perhaps your usual abrasiveness actually ended up offending someone? Maybe it ended up causing a whole lot of

trouble, and now, someone is trying to kill us.

“Back then, you were in Rosefinch Pavilion, and it wasn’t easy to make any moves on you. Now that you’re out, they

found the perfect opportunity to attack!”

Both Grayson and Rudy were screaming at each, neither one of them wanting to give in. They felt like the situation

they were in was caused by the other person, that all the fault laid on the other person, and this got the two of

them more riled up by the minute.

Jackie silently stood by the side and watched as they both screamed it out like a death match. He sighed helplessly.

He really admired the two of them, being able to quarrel to that degree even with the situation as it Was.

Could the result of their quarrel solve the dangers they were facing? Hilarious.

Jackie tried to listen in on the constant fighting that was outside. There were even a few explosions. Both sides

seemed to be using powerful weapons. The skills clashed against each other, causing the explosions.

At that moment, the small vessel suddenly swayed violently. The two who were quarreling panicked at the sudden

movement, falling on the floor after losing their footing.

The quarrel died down temporarily. Grayson fell down right on his back, and his expression soured even more.

“That’s a powerful technique, alright. How strong must that person be to cause such an intense explosion? Even the

spirit vessel was affected!” At that moment, Grayson’s eyes reddened, and his pupils wavered in fear.

Rudy did not feel any better. Even though he did not fall as harshly as Grayson did, he still fell to his knees. His

hands were on the ground, stopping his face from slamming flat against the floor.

He frowned as he said, “What do we do?! Are we supposed to just stay here and wait to die?! I don’t want to die! I’ll

become a seventh-grade alchemist In the future! I absolutely can’t die!”

Chapter 2470

Jackie could care less about Rudy and Grayson; he himself was in a state of panic. He wanted to know what was

happening outside the vessel, yet these two were at it so noisily that he could not hear anything

Jackie then sharply turned to both Grayson and Rudy. “Can both of you shut up?! What’s the point of fighting over all

this? Tell me, what can you do? The two of you will no doubt die if you go out there. You can’t even change what’s

happening now! All you can do is wait here!”

Rudy paled at Jackie’s explosive remark. “And what gives you the right to try and educate me, Jackie? What gives

you the right to shout at me?! Quit pretending like you’re so calm. Are you not afraid at all?!”

“Can you just shut your mouth?!” Jackie could not be bothered to argue with these two.

A livid Rudy then staggered to get back up on his feet when another explosion occurred the moment he stood up

A shockwave erupted in the aftermath. It came from the outside, and the entire vessel shook violently due to the

force.

Rudy, having just stood up, fell once more. This time, however, his fall was even worse than the last, his face

planted straight to the surface in his fall.

Grayson, on the other hand, fared better as he did not try to stand up before the explosion happened. Jackie stood

at the furthest corner of the vessel as he leaned against the wall. He leaned in very closely, so he was naturally not

sent to the ground.

Looking at how pathetic the two of them were, Jackie could not help but let out a cold laugh. “What’s the point of all

that bickering? If you don’t shut your mouths, I won’t be so polite anymore!”

Grayson was merely a runner disciple before he discovered his talent in alchemy, so it was obvious how bad his

skills were. He was older than Jackie, but he was merely at the early stage of the innate level.

He was even among the weaker ones of that level. Jackie could easily kill him if he wanted to. Rudy was a little

better, but he was still at the early stage of the innate level as well.

To Jackie, Grayson and Rudy were mere dispensable individuals. They were not from some acquired stage beasts,

and killing them would be like a walk in the park for Jackie.

Jackie wanted nothing more than for them to shut up.

Grayson’s face reddened in anger as he pointed at Jackie. “Just you wait! Don’t be so arrogant! So what if you have

some talent? We’re basically on the same level.

“There’s still a lot of time. In the future, my talents will exceed yours. I’ll become a seventh-grade alchemist before

you and make you pay!”

Jackie rolled his eyes. “Can you save those arrogant words for when you actually do it?”

The moment Jackie said that, a shout was heard from the outside.

It was Martin’s voice.

“How shameless! I knew you’d use such despicable tricks! So what, though? I won’t let you get what you want. The

alliance isn’t that weak!”

Martin’s words were more than audible to everyone inside the vessel. It seemed like Martin was right outside the

vessel when he spoke, too.

The battle had been far away from the vessel earlier, probably to avoid harming it.

Thinking about that, Jackie’s heart stopped.

Since the sounds had gotten so close that they could hear them so clearly, it meant the battlefield had moved

closer to the vessel.
