Chương 218: Long Lost Grit
"Who are you?" Jen was not expecting for her great grandfather to appear and help her mentor, moreover he came and told this unknown man to convey her that he cared for her.
'Why did not her great grandfather shoo away this man from her?'
'Does he know him?'
Then she should also know.
"I told you..." Wang Bo stopped himself to not further speak and annoy her.
"I only wish you to learn what your heart say and do what you want, I came to see you that you were fine," he slovenly spoke and stood up to leave.
He don't wish to tagalong her and disturb her inner peace.
"I just wanted to remind you that the top ranker of the Intermediate Cultivation Battles is a Legend Level, and I don't think you will quit just because you are afraid to face him," he shook his head and lazily walked.
"What, a Legend Realm opponent? I might not be able to face him," she spoke half-heartedly.
She was not some monster, only a weak human, and it was not much time when she advanced and stepped in the Green Sage Level, it was not that she was not confident but it was ridiculous to think to cross levels in this short period.
It was not like walk in a park to cross levels, and what more, she was standing at two whole complete levels gape, even if she tried to jump or leapt to reach, it was only a dream of a mad person.
She was only an immature Green Sage.
She needed to breakthrough in the Green Sage peak level and then Crown Sage and at the peak of Crown Sage, she could dream to fight with Legend Realm opponent.
And still, it would be considered a reckless attempt again.
Wang Bo halted his next step in the air and slowly turned his head to look at her.
He cannot tell exactly what made him stop when he really wanted to leave.
There was something about her that keeps telling him that he should not leave her no matter what.
"What's there to think goosed contingency when you know that it won't help?" he spoke and waved his hand.
"There is still some time in the finals," he spoke easy.
"No matter how much time is remaining, it must not be few years right," Jen reminded him.
He was talking about it, at most three months would be given for the final's preparations to the contestants after the announcement of first ten top rankers.
Jen knew that she would get the third ranking position after defeating the beast that means she was qualified to enter in the finals.
But who would guarantee that she would be able to make it in the end, she was sure to lost.
She was placed on the third position because she defeated that beast but the truth was she could only compete because of blunt breakthrough and the timely help from Stone of Nature, she reserved huge amount of energy to attack her opponent with it.
This caused her opponent to think that she was using her real power but how much a power can a Green Sage have to defeat a beast? it cannot compare in reality, she cannot defeat without some miracle reserved under her hand.
"Does it means, you wanted to face your opponents?" he smiled at her eagerness, to think she wanted to quit her path? he shook his head.
Jen lowered her head.
"There is no other choice," she wanted to face her great grandfather with honor and dignity of achievement.
She was happy inside that her mentor was alive and it was great drive for her too.
She wanted to bring honor for her mentor too.
"Then let's head back first to have a look at the situation," he extended his hand gladly.
Jen ebbed her eyes, 'Is he thinking to push her at the brink again?'
He retracted his hand feeling slightly awkward.
He forgot previous situation.
The slave fairies came near, he ordered them to transfer immediately.
The fairy cleared her throat, "Master, we can only once use our power to transfer separately, so this would be second attempt and last one though, you might not be able to leave this low tier sphere on your own after this," she lowered her tone at her last words, she don't want to scare the girl who could become mistress of their master someday.
He nodded.
He has changed his mind, now he wanted to follow Jen Xuan Rong until the limit of his stay in this sphere.
Jen on the other hand was thinking, how many days, she has to travel to reach blue ocean where the competition grounds were located.
Back then, she has the assistance of guardian beasts to reach there and more over the map her great grandfather gave her to study, did not specifically mentioned this place where she was standing right now.
How long would it take her to go there now?
But she was feeling no more down, she has hardened her heart to walk further on this path and learn.
Whatever doubts were hitting her before were no more present in her head, she knew if she was on wrong path, her great grandfather would not let her astray and guide her if needed.
She was brimming with confidence again.
She was standing on the edge of the mountain where she was thrown by the huge waves.
She saw Lui jump in the ocean, he was near his limits and he has learned the technique taught by Jen, he waved his hand from afar toward her and bade her goodbye.
She lightly nodded and he jumped in the vast, deep ocean, usually this height could hurt and he needed to walk on the lower side of the mountain but not anymore, he was confident about the learned technique.
Someone grabbed her suddenly and before she could resist, she was already under his strong grip.
Wang Bo knew, she would not let him grab her if he asked her permission.
His slave was about to transfer them and if he did not held her strongly, she might puke her intestines out during the transfer.
He clutched her in his chest strenuously.
Jen was alarmed at this sudden fright, and in her life, she was never this angered much but soon she realized that something was wrong.
