Chapter 1251
“Hey, it’s nothing. jackie saved my life; he is like a brother to me now. We’re good buddies! Just take it as
a reward for jackie’s deed. Don’t take it to heart!”
Daniella chuckled while explaining, and put her hand on jackie’s shoulder, with a wide grin on her face,
as though they were brothers from the battlefield.
“You’re referring to Bone Marrow Cleansing Water, right? This water is terrifically exorbitant! Although the
people of the Cabello family started training young and don’t really need this water, that precious pool of
the Cabello family couldn’t produce that much water in a year for us, right? Moreover, this kind of water is
suitable for any martial practitioner too; whoever takes it will greatly improve their martial level!”
Nash was surprised at Daniella’s offer to give them some of the water. With his eyebrows snapped
together, he continued, “The Cabello family must have kept such a treasure very securely, and only
reward those who have made significant contributions. Besides, the pool could only produce five to six
portions per year, right? I’m afraid that your Father wouldn’t approve of this idea so easily. Even worse, if
he were to find out that you planned to give such treasure to us, he’d definitely say no.”
“Heh! If he doesn’t agree to it, I’ll just have to get it without him knowing. And by the time he finds out, it’d
be too late. Anyway, if I don’t mention that it’s for the White family, how would he know then?” Daniella
spewed out the words gently and nonchalantly.
“Miss Cabello, you’re being too generous to us! I don’t even know how to repay you!”
Joan chimed in; her tone uneasy.
“Hehe, Auntie, jackie and I are good buddies, and you’re his mother, that makes you my mother too! So
don’t mull over it anymore! It’s nothing at all!”
Daniella patted her chest and reassured Joan.
jackie—who stood aside—witnessed the whole exchange and felt speechless. What did she mean when
she said his mother was her mother? Did she not fear what others might think of this sentence?
“I see, I see. That’s good then!”
Joan was taken aback by Daniella’s response as well. She returned Daniella an awkward smile and then
went silent.
“Right, jackie, since the Third Young Mistress Cabello is here, please take her around when you’re free!
She’s your responsibility now!”
Nash then smiled faintly at jackie and ordered.
“Don’t worry, Father. I’ll arrange a place for her to rest!”
jackie gave a bitter smile in return.
“Hey, there should still be empty rooms in your residence, right? You don’t have to arrange a separate
residence for me, just vacate a room for me in your residence. It’d be more convenient for me to find you
this way, right?”
Daniella smiled sheepishly and proposed to jackie.
“Oh, okay, alright!”
jackie was rendered speechless but he could only agree with an awkward smile.
Only then a contented smile appeared on Daniella’s pretty features. She then turned to Nash and said,
“Master White, the competition is about to start, and I guess you guys will leave in another five to six
days, right? I think the Cabello family will definitely participate as well, so I think I’ll stay here for a few
days and depart with you guys then. You wouldn’t mind that, right?”
“Mmm, don’t worry. I don’t mind it at all!”
Daniella Cabello was the apple of her father’s eye, and since she has developed a good relationship with
jackie, it would be a good opportunity to ease the tension between the two families.
After all, the current White family had experienced a great loss in their power after the Third Elder and
Lily incident. The White family could not afford to have another huge clash with another great powerful
family right now.
Chapter 1252
“Hehe, thank you so much! I’ll go check out the place first!”
Daniella chortled happily as though she was a kid who got praises from her parents.
“Go ahead then. jackie, take Miss Cabello back to rest first, you guys must be tired from all the rushing to
get back here!”
Nash nodded in satisfaction and instructed his son.
jackie then handed Kylie over to Joan and left with Daniella.
After the silhouette of the two disappeared from the group’s sight, Joan laughed and commented, “Miss
Cabello seems to be a generous and benevolent person. She had already given us these spirited grass
as a reward for jackie’s rescue. But she went the extra mile and promised to get us the Cabello’s
treasure! This lady is truly a warm-hearted person!”
Nonetheless, Nash thought otherwise. “Why do I feel like there’s something more than friendship
between jackie and Miss Cabello? It’s not as simple as good buddies. After all, the Bone Marrow
Cleansing Water is not an ordinary treasure, and she is actually willing to steal it for us, moreover, three
portions! Such an act has obviously gone beyond any kind of friendship, don’t you think?” he explained
with a bitter smile on his face.
Joan rolled her eyes at Nash. “You must be overthinking. Miss Cabello is a few years younger than
jackie. Moreover, jackie is already married and has Kylie! Miss Cabello certainly does not like jackie in a
romantic way!” She huffed.
Joan paused for a moment before continuing, “After all, jackie saved her life from the brigands, and that
act itself is more valuable than the precious water! If she wanted to repay jackie in such a way, it’s
reasonable!”
“Maybe I am overthinking!”
Nash said with the corners of his mouth curled up.
Fiona, who was standing aside, had her eyes lit up brightly. “Master White, I heard that the Cabello family
is much more powerful than the White family. They are ranked in the top three of the eight shadow
families, right? So, if jackie could really get together with Miss Cabello, that’d be a great thing, isn’t it?
And that will be a so-called strong union, am I right?”
“Well, it’s true that it’d be a great thing.” Nash smiled awkwardly at Fiona’s response. “But it’s highly
unlikely for it to happen because we are not on good terms with the Cabello family. It’s considered a
blessing for jackie to have a good relationship with Miss Cabello and ease the tension between the two
families. But if you want Miss Cabello to marry jackie, it’s almost impossible. The Cabello family will not
agree to it!”
Nash halted for a few seconds before continuing, “What’s more, Miss Cabello is young and there are
plenty of powerful, wealthy, and talented young masters falling head over heels for her. Miss Cabello
wouldn’t choose a married man— jackie and be his second wife!”
There was one elder in the crowd who stepped up at this time and reminded everyone, “We shouldn’t
discuss this matter openly. We are merely relying on our own imagination and discussing excitedly, but
what if Miss Cabello overheard us? She might not feel happy as she only sees jackie as a friend. If we
talk about things like that without a basis and make her unhappy, that’d cause a problem!”
At this time, jackie and Daniella were pacing toward jackie’s residence. Along the way, he recounted the
incident about the Third Elder, Lance, and Lily to fill Daniella in.
Daniella sighed loudly after listening to the story. “So you’re the illegitimate son of Master White. But you
managed to reach the true god realm by yourself in the secular world! That’s amazing! Although Lance
and I, our talents are not on the top of the list among the younger generation, we’re considered as
talented masters too! I didn’t expect that my talent is nothing in front of you. Hehe!”
jackie chortled embarrassingly. “Nah, that’s not true. Your talent is excellent as well! After all, you’re a few
years younger than me!”
The two of them were so engaged in their conversation that they did not realize that they had arrived at
jackie’s residence.
Inside the residence, Elaine, Selena, Ben, and some others are chatting happily in the courtyard.
“Dear, you’re back! I didn’t expect you to be back so soon! I thought you might need a few more days!”
Selena shot up from the chair when she saw jackie and Daniella push the gate open and walked in.
Selena’s mood lightened and a broad wide smile hung on her face.
“Master!”
Chapter 1253
Ethan and Sam were flabbergasted with joy as well when they saw that their Master had returned. The
corners of their mouth curled upward, showing their pearly white and even teeth.
“Brother-in-law, why did you bring a beautiful woman back with you? Tsk tsk, she is really good-looking!
Don’t tell me, you went out for a trip and came back with a little wife?”
Elaine noticed the presence of Daniella beside jackie and teased the two jokingly.
Nevertheless, jackie’s face immediately sank to the bottom. “What nonsense are you spewing about?
This is the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family! It just so happened that I rescued her from a
group of brigands during my journey. So, she decided to follow me to visit the White family and depart
with us in a few days for the tournament. The Cabello family will attend the tournament too!”
“Hehe! Look at you, why are you all nervous? I’m just kidding. She’s truly good-looking and attractive!”
Elaine chuckled at jackie’s big response and said.
“This beautiful Miss is your wife?”
Daniella took two steps forward and studied Selena from head to toe, carefully.
She could feel that Selena, other than being good-looking and beautiful, was more mature than she was.
Selena emitted a feminine sensation that she did not possess.
However, it was really hard to tell who was prettier and more good-looking between Selena and Daniella.
Each of them had their own attractive points!
“Yes, and her name is Selena!”
jackie smiled on the surface, but in fact, he was sweating in worries inside his heart. He was afraid that
Selena might have noticed something.
jackie was actually in a complete state of panic, as though he was sitting on pins and needles. He was
kicking himself inside at the thought of that particular night. If he had not drunk the monkey wine, he
would not get drunk; and he would not have done such a thing with Daniella!
He had violated a girl and took away her first time. If he pretended as if nothing happened and chose not
to be responsible, that would be a d*ck move and he would be restless for the rest of his life, thinking
that he had violated a young girl.
“Hello Sis Selena, my name is Daniella Cabello and I’m the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family!
You can call me Daniella!”
Daniella approached Selena and extended her hand graciously to shake Selena’s hand.
Selena returned her with a faint smile and then extended her hand to hold Daniella’s. “Nice to meet you,
Daniella. My husband is a kind-hearted man. If he encounters an unjust incident, he will step up and
intervene! It’s fate that we can get to know each other. From now on, we’re good friends!”
“Mm!”
Daniella bobbed her head happily.
After that, jackie introduced others to Daniella, and then he arranged a room for her to rest.
“Master, we haven’t seen each other for so long, shouldn’t we get together and have a few drinks?”
Joseph walked over and said to jackie, smilingly.
“Hehe, that’s a great idea! It just so happens that Kylie wants to visit the town at the bottom of the
mountain, and Miss Cabello has never been there either. How about this, let’s go to the town together
tonight to eat and drink? We can also stroll around the night market there!”
jackie chortled brightly and agreed.
Chapter 1254
Soon, the evening came. jackie took everyone to the town for a hearty meal and good night’s stroll.
The town was prosperous and well-developed; they even had a school in the town. jackie planned to let
Kylie train in the White residence, and she could attend the school in the town to learn too. The plan
sounded perfect.
The teachers in the school taught according to a fixed syllabus and were keen to pass down the
knowledge of the outside world to the kids.
For example, the students were taught to recognize first or second-grade spirited grass, and basic
knowledge of martial training, as well as characteristics of some demonic creatures in the wild.
After all, the kids who attended the school were generally from martial families, and when they are older,
they would eventually train and practice as martial artists.
The group returned to the White residence in the late evening. jackie was exhausted from being busy the
entire day that he laid down and fell asleep in no time.
The next morning, jackie woke up and asked Selena, “Dear, how’s your martial training lately? I’ve been
away for quite some time, and you only had to pick up Kylie from school, so it shouldn’t take much time.”
A cute smile formed on Selena’s face, “Well, I didn’t really have much time to train this time. After all, I
had to accompany Mother and Father for walks to get familiar with the place. And I also had to spend
time with Kylie, so I didn’t have much time to train and there’s no obvious improvement in my martial
status. But, I would say my progress is not that bad at all. The morning before yesterday, I barely broke
through to reach the first-grade of grandmaster level!”
jackie was suffused with happiness that his eyes lit up upon hearing Selena’s progress in martial training.
“Wow, that’s amazing! You’re already at the grandmaster level! You have such talent, and such skills are
considered excellent!”
“Thanks to you, Dear! I wouldn’t have achieved this if it weren’t for the Chi Congregation pill and spirited
grass that you gave me. With the help of those miraculous resources, I can train and improve a lot
faster!” A cute, bashful smile crawled onto Selena’s face as she spoke.
jackie bobbed his head to show agreement. “I’ll be leaving in a few days. Although I can’t really train on
the road, I’ll make time at night to train. I can confidently say that I have already stabilized myself at the
early stage of the true god realm. So, during the trip, I’ll see if I could use some of the pills and spirited
material to try to break through to the middle stage of the true god realm!”
“Middle stage of the true god realm?”
An envious look plastered on Selena’s pretty feature when she heard jackie. “I’m so envious of you, for
being able to break through to the middle stage of the true god realm. Your talent and combat prowess
are extraordinary; if you really reach the middle stage of the true god realm, you can even fight against
those who are at the late stage of the true god realm, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjackie, however, felt a little guilty. He wrapped his arms around Selena’s waist and said, “Sigh! It’s just
that I’ll be busy training these days, so I’m afraid that I won’t have time to accompany you and Kylie.”
jackie sighed. “Also, you have to inform your parents as well.” He added.
Selena shot jackie an attentive look. “Don’t worry about it. I told them a few days ago. My parents are
understanding; they know that martial practitioners often require ample amounts of time to train and
practice. And they’re okay with it. It won’t affect us!”
jackie stared at the beauty in his embrace. He could not help but plant a tender kiss on Selena’s rosy,
pink lips. “Dear, I have to follow them to attend the martial tournament in a few days. Please stay back
with Kylie and enroll her into the school in town, meanwhile, please continue to train hard too. Thank
you, dear!”
It was rare to experience a gentle jackie. Selena’s cheeks immediately blushed and she felt a surge of
sweetness and happiness. “You’re welcome! We’re a family. You don’t have to say ‘please’ at all.”
“Oh, I just thought that I didn’t get to spend much time with you lately. So I felt a little guilty!”
jackie laughed off as he explained.
Chapter 1255
“It’s nothing. Martial practitioners always had to train in isolation for months. It can’t be helped, right?”
Selena smiled in return. “Alright, train well, dear. I’ll stop bothering you now. Hehe!”
Selena soon left the adobe. jackie then flipped his palm and took out three pills—all three pills were first-
grade intermediate training pills!
jackie smiled as he looked at the three pills in front of him. These three pills could help him break through
to the middle stage of the true god realm. After all, he was not too far away from the middle stage now.
jackie then put one of the pills into his mouth and swallowed them. Thick and inexhaustible energy then
dispersed from jackie’s abdomen in an instant. The energy was immense, at the same time aggressive.
A gentle smile formed on jackie’s face when he felt the energy within him. He closed his eyes and started
to control the energy in his body, channeling chi energy and gathering it in his abdomen. The chi energy
formed a whirl in his abdomen, as though there was a tiny tornado in his body. The small whirl had slowly
become bigger and bigger; jackie’s overall strength and power had increased as well.
The time passed by slowly, and soon the spirited energy inside the pills was fully absorbed by jackie, and
the chi energy inside jackie obviously became stronger and more powerful than before!
He smiled faintly and threw the second pill into his mouth and swallowed. He repeated the training
technique, absorbing the chi energy inside the pill.
It took almost two days for jackie to train and absorb all the energy from the three pills. Fortunately, his
martial level had also broken through to the middle stage of the true god realm.
jackie steadily stood up, clenched his fists and his bone joints emitted a clear clicking sound. The
robustness and strength of his body had obviously advanced a lot, and the inner power in his body was
doubled or even tripled after the training; the mellowness of his chi energy had become richer and thicker
two or three times than before.
“Hahaha! It feels really different to be in the middle stage of the true god realm. The feeling is too good,
and my combat power is a lot greater than before!”
jackie smiled with satisfaction, and then he walked out of the room.
Selena—who was playing with Kylie outside the house—was surprised at the appearance of jackie at
this time. “No way! How did you complete your training this quick? Have you succeeded yet? I’ve heard
that it’s not that easy to reach the middle stage of the true god realm! And for some people who failed to
break through, they’d have to rest for a while before they can continue to try again! And if you’re
unfortunate, you might even be physically wounded!”
A ray of warm light surged in jackie’s heart when he saw Selena’s concerned look. “Don’t worry, dear.
I’ve broken through to the middle stage of the true god realm!” He smiled and comforted.
“Wow! Wow! Daddy is definitely more powerful than before now!”
Kylie jumped for joy that her feet barely touched the ground.
“Hehe, my little Kylie, when you get a little bit older, you can start training, and in the future, you’ve to
strive to be more powerful than daddy, okay?”
jackie picked up his daughter from the ground and gently pinched the little girl’s cute nose. His eyes were
full of warm fatherly love.
Chapter 1256
“Middle stage of the true god realm?”
Daniella, who had just walked out of her room, overheard the conversation between the couple. She was
shocked at what she heard and then exclaimed with joy, “You’re truly talented! Your speed in training and
absorbing the energy from the pills were too fast! Others might need at least a week or longer to break
through to the middle stage of the true god realm! But you actually used only two days and succeeded!”
At this moment, the admiration toward jackie grew deeper and deeper within Daniella. She was even
fantasizing that if she had the chance to introduce jackie as her boyfriend to her father, what would her
father think?
“Oh, I’m just slightly luckier!”
jackie laughed it out and said modestly.
“That’s awesome! That’s truly awesome! With your current martial level and combat prowess, you might
be able to win first place in the upcoming martial tournament! You can finally bring glory to the White
family!”
Daniella looked at jackie, her eyes full of unexplainable beams. “Even if you can’t get the first place,
surely you’ll be placed in the top three!”
“Top three?”
jackie was slightly stunned at her words. “It seems like the White family didn’t have good raking in this
tournament in the past!”
After all, before he returned to the White family, Lance White—who was at the peak of the demi-god
realm—was considered the first seed in the White family. And now, since jackie had already hit the
middle stage of the true god realm, he thought that taking the first place would not be a problem.
He did not expect that Daniella saw him as the top three but not the champion.
Daniella smiled and she explained, “The White family had always bottomed the list in the past
tournaments. Although the White family was not the worst in the tournament, your family has just
become one of the eight shadow families not long ago, so the White family is definitely the last in the
eight shadow families!”
jackie bobbed his head. Indeed, the White family had only become one of the first-class eight shadow
families recently. Although the White family was more powerful and stronger than those second-class
and third-class families, the gap between the White and the other seven shadow families was still wide.
Daniella approached jackie and patted his shoulder gently. “You’re not bad at all. Think about it, the
Cabello family and the other shadow families, we’ve been first-class families for decades and some of
them even have hundreds of years of heritage. And your family has just risen lately, it’s not possible to
compare with us.” She comforted him.
Daniella was afraid that her words might have hurt jackie’s confidence, hence she smiled and said, “But
your martial level and combat prowess is considered high and strong. You’ll certainly impress many first-
class shadow families this time around!”
“Oh, I’m not trying to impress, but I’ll try my very best!”
“Oh, jackie, Father asked me to tell you that there are three days left before we leave, so you should
prepare yourself.”
Selena quickly thought of something and interrupted the conversation.
“Alright, I’ll rest for these few days and try to maintain and stabilize my martial level, so that I can get
used to the power!”
jackie nodded.
During the conversation, Selena noticed the bright and shining beam in Daniella’s eyes when she was
looking at jackie. She did not show the same when she was engaging with the others, only with jackie.
And the beam emitted something attentive—it was full of love and affection.
Selena’s brows snapped together as she thought of it. “Daniella, I won’t be going this time. Please help
to take care of jackie, will you? I entrust him to your care!” Selena said to Daniella after thinking for a
moment.
Chapter 1257
Daniella did not expect such words would come out of Selena’s mouth out of sudden. She stood frozen
for a moment before peeking at jackie. “Don’t worry. jackie and I are good friends, we’ll definitely take
care of each other! I’ll also ask my sister to go a little easy on jackie during the tournament!” Daniella
nodded.
“Is your sister very powerful?”
jackie frowned upon hearing it. According to Daniella’s words and tone, it seemed that her sister was a
strong martial practitioner; her martial level should be high.
“For this tournament, as long as you’re from the martial families and you’re below the age of thirty, you’re
eligible to participate. I’m still young, so it’s normal for me to have a low martial level.”
Daniella smiled softly before saying, “But, my second sister, she’s at the early stage of the true god
realm, and my elder sister, she is at the middle stage of the true god realm. Although she is similar to
you, at the middle stage, she is only one step away from the late stage of the true god realm. She might
break through to the late stage at any time. And her combat prowess and martial ability are among the
top of those in the middle stage of the true god realm!”
Daniella shrugged as she spoke. “Hmmm. I’ll say more about my second sister, but my elder sister, she
is too strong for you. It’s nearly impossible for you to defeat her.” She added.
“I see. Thanks for the reminder. But I don’t think your sisters will listen to you and go easy on me.”
jackie gave a dry smile. Although the Lagorio family had not been finding fault with them lately, the affair
that happened between the Lagorio family and the White family had seemed to spread out.
Therefore, this time round in the tournament, he felt that the Lagorio family and some of the forces would
most likely target them. He was not confident to say that there would not be any issue during the
tournament.
Especially, those forces and families—who were about the same level with the White family before the
White became one of the eight families—would certainly be jealous of the White family. They could not
wait to pull the White family down from the first-class shadow families!
“Huh? Nah. My elder sister and second sister love me the most. If I talk to them personally, it shouldn’t
be a problem!”
Daniella pursed her rosy pink lips and said, “Sigh! I have to work hard too and strive to break through to
the early stage of the true god realm. I can’t always use my young age as an excuse to be lazy!” She
sighed.
“Cough, cough! Looking at you, I guess you have been loafing on the job.”
jackie teased Daniella after hearing what she said. The young girl before him sometimes emitted a
youthful and cuteness in her words and behaviors that made jackie feel something different in him.
“Hehe! Yup, but just a little! Well. Sometimes, training is kind of boring!”
Daniella giggled.
Time flies by quickly and soon three days had passed.
During these three days, Daniella would come over to talk to jackie and Selena whenever she was free
and would even purposely please Selena by telling her some insights about martial training and
technique.
Finally, after three days, the day had come. Together with Nash and jackie, there were many Elders of
the White family, as well as some other White family members. They set off in the morning.
“Sigh! If the Third Elder hadn’t thought about mutiny and had broken through to the peak of the true god
realm, we would now have two strong people at the peak of the true god realm. And we can finally hold
our heads up high in this tournament. Now, after the incident, not only did we not improve our family’s
overall strength and power, but we also regressed a lot!”
On the way to the tournament, the First Elder breathed a huge sigh and added, “And I’m afraid that this
time the target will be on our backs. Many forces and families will target us.”
Nash, however, put on a sanguine face. “It’s alright, it’s fine. I have faith in our family. We will be strong
very soon!”
Chapter 1258
On the other side, the head of the Cabello family and others were worried about something. They paced
around the hall and their faces looked concerned.
Daniella had been out for more than a month. When she left a letter announcing that she went out to
search for treasures and resources in the forest, the group did not expect that she would not return for so
long.
The Cabello family had sent out a lot of their men to search in the forest that they normally frequent for
the treasure hunt, nonetheless, not a single trace of Daniella had been found. This made the Cabello
family feel agonized and worried.
“Dad, don’t worry about Daniella, she’ll be alright. Let’s go!”
At the square of the Cabello family, the First Young Mistress Cabello gazed at Alejandro Cabello—the
head of the Cabello family—and said, smilingly, “Daniellita is a smart and quick-witted girl. She will not be
in trouble; she’ll be alright. Besides, who has that brave heart to offend the current Cabello family? Aren’t
they afraid of our revenge? So, I think Daniellita is just being playful and not wanting to come back so
soon. She must be hanging and fooling around somewhere!”
“I do hope so. Sigh! That young lady is prideful and arrogant sometimes. What worries me is that she
had never gone out of Cabello island before. Now that she is on her own, I’m worried that she is too
simple-minded, and that others would dig a pit for her! That’d be really troublesome!”
Alejandro sighed aloud in his heart. The more time passed, the more concerned was his heart.
After all, his three daughters were good-looking and considered as beauties of the island. Even though
one of them—the elder daughter—was already twenty-nine years old, a lot of young masters still fell
head over heels for her! Not to mention his youngest daughter, a playful, high-spirited yet gorgeous
young lady, who would make any young men fall for her effortlessly. Her every gesture—smile, laugh,
walk—was like a drug, injected into young men’s veins and making them addicted to her.
Therefore, if such a beauty left the home and went on an adventure for more than a month, the father
obviously would be worried.
The First Young Mistress Cabello’s pallor went unsightly after hearing her father’s words. She was
worried but she could only force a smile and comfort his father, “She’ll be okay. She’s definitely alright. I
have faith in her!”
“Sigh! Let’s depart now. We can only try to be optimistic!”
Alejandro knew that his daughter was saying that to comfort herself too. He smiled and waved his hand.
A flying carpet suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The flying carpet rose in the wind, and soon it grew to a size that could accommodate nearly a thousand
people.
“Let’s go!”
Four to five hundred men hopped onto the flying carpet and sat on it. With a flicker of movement in
Alejandro’s mind, the flying carpet flew out and went straight in the direction of the mainland.
…
“Sigh! The White family doesn’t have any flying treasure. Every time we have such an event, we have to
go by land!”
jackie and the others were on their way to the tournament at this time. The First Elder—who was at the
front—sighed at the situation.
“Such treasure is rare. The higher-level treasures are known as spiritual tools. As for a treasure that can
fly, heh, it’s even rarer!”
Nash smiled bitterly and explained.
“Spiritual tool?”
jackie heard the words and a few lines form between his snapped brows. “I don’t have much knowledge
about spiritual tools, and I’ve never heard that there are different levels among spiritual tools!”
Chapter 1259
Guilt filled Nash’s heart when he heard that. jackie had been training in the mortal realm for all this while,
and it seemed like he did not have much knowledge about treasures.
He gave a small smile and explained to jackie in a patient tone, “There are two types of tools: normal
tools, and spiritual tools. And the latter has several grades as well according to how much strength it
gives you in battle and its fluctuations after absorbing chi: lower-grade, middle-grade, and upper-grade.
And the most powerful of them all, ultimate-grade tools!”
Here, Nash paused for a while before continuing, “But most martial artists still stick to regular soldier
weapons. It’s pretty good if you have a lower-grade tool, and only a few people possess middle-grade
tools—never mind upper and ultimate-grade tools!”
jackie thought about it for a while and flipped his palm, taking out an object that resembled a
tortoiseshell. He thrust it toward Nash. “Dad, take a look at this. I think this is a spiritual tool. But I don’t
know what grade it is. This is a defensive weapon that grows bigger to fend off attacks!”
Nash’s eyes brightened when he heard this. “Defensive tools are really rare too. It might save your life at
a critical moment. I never thought that you’d get your hands on one!”
After he said that, Nash passed the treasure back to jackie and said, “Try channeling your chi into it!”
The treasure had already recognized jackie as its owner and had traces of his energy in it. Nash
definitely had no way of making it move, and if others wanted to make that treasure theirs, they needed
to completely wipe off every trace of jackie’s chi from it.
As jackie injected his chi into it, the tortoiseshell shield slowly grew bigger, till it reached the height of a
man. A warm yellow glow emanated from its surface.
“From–from its fluctuations, it should be a middle-grade tool. Not bad. Not bad at all. We only have a few
of such weapons in the White family!”
Nash studied it for a while before a smile lit up his face. He was glad that jackie managed to get his
hands on such a treasure.
“Oh, right. I have another item here. It’s probably a spiritual tool!”
jackie kept the shield and smiled as he took out the black sword. He then poured some of his energy into
it.
Suddenly, a black flash emitted from the dragon-shaped sword. A fierce, yet quiet ripple spread
throughout the area.
jackie gave a smile. “This sword is a spiritual tool as well. But probably a lower or middle-grade, right?”
“Let me take a look!”
Nash took a step forward and observed it. Then excitement spread across his features. “There’s a small
hole on this sword. Here. Do you see it? So you can’t just pour your energy in like that. You have to
make it enter through this hole to make it release its full potential!”
jackie took a sharp intake of breath after he heard that. “So you’re saying that I haven’t been using this
sword properly all this while? I’ve only been tapping into a fraction of its power?”
Nash bobbed his head. “But even so, I can already tell that it’s a spiritual tool. You’ll have to pour your chi
through the hole for me to determine its grade!”
jackie nodded his head. He followed Nash’s instructions and focused his energy into his palm, before
threading it through that tiny hole.
The sword, originally rather full, suddenly brightened and emitted a frightening hum. The fluctuations
were even stronger this time around.
Chapter 1260
jackie never expected the sword to grow bigger as well. A different aura also seeped into his head.
After he received the message, he was extremely excited. His features showed extreme delight.
“This–this should be an ultimate-grade tool!”
The First Elder was so excited that his voice quivered. Only the very strongest of the shadow families
had such a treasure, and even then, they only possessed one of it.
It was evident that this was extremely precious. No one thought that jackie’s sword was an ultimate-
grade tool.
“That’s right. I never thought that it would be an ultimate-grade tool. I never noticed anything
extraordinary about it either when jackie had taken it out!”
Nash was excited as well. He never expected jackie’s sword to be such a valuable treasure.
“Dad! I think–I think I received a message from the sword just now!”
jackie was excited. He waved his hand, and the sword flew upward, rapidly expanding in the sky until it
looked like two or three thousand people could stand on it.
With an internal shove, jackie’s sword shrunk again, till it could take about a thousand people.
“This–this is a tool that can fly? My god. You can use it to fight and fly. Such a treasure is so hard to
come by!”
Many elders immediately understood what jackie had meant when they saw him remotely controlling it.
“This is great. If that’s the case, we can sit on this sword to head for the competition!”
Daniella also jumped excitedly after witnessing all that. Even her father’s flying carpet was not that high
of a grade. It could only fly, and you could not use it to fight. It was her first time seeing such a treasure
as well.
“Let’s go!”
With a blink, jackie stood atop the sword and announced to everyone.
“Hah. All right!”
Nash laughed and flew up as well, landing softly on the surface of the sword.
“Let’s go!”
Everyone also happily hopped on.
“I really never thought that such a sword would exist. Hah. Never imagined that I would be sitting on
this!”
The First Elder laughed and sat cross-legged. The sword flew out under jackie’s control.
“Not only is this a flying sword, but it’s also an ultimate-grade tool!”
Admiration spread across the Second Elder’s face. “You’re at the beginning stage of the true god realm
now, but with this sword, you can head toe-to-toe with those from the intermediate stage. And you even
might stand a chance of defeating them!”
Everyone nodded their heads when they heard that.
“It’s a pity that jackie’s level is not quite there yet,” Nash chimed in. “If he were to be at the intermediate
stage of the true god realm, we’d have another fighter at the advanced stage with the enhanced power
this sword gives!”
“You’re amazing, Young Master jackie,” Lancelot said, smiling. “You’ve surpassed us so quickly!”
Chapter 1261
No one expected Daniella to speak up at this moment, a knowing smile on her face, “I see that you didn’t
know jackie is already at the intermediate stage of the true god realm. He underwent the breakthrough a
few days ago. With this sword, he might have the fighting prowess of a fighter at the advanced stage!”
“What? He–he already broke through?”
Nash was stunned. He swiveled his head toward jackie in excitement. “ jackie, is that true? You–you’re
already at the intermediate stage of the true god realm?”
“My God. He broke through so fast? You’re a true master, Young Master jackie! Young Master Lance
cannot match up to you!”
Many elders could not help but exclaim. They were suspecting if they were dreaming.
After all, the shock of finding out that jackie had an ultimate-grade weapon had not completely subsided
yet, and now they were saying that he had broken into the intermediate stage of the true god realm.
It was not easy to advance through the stages of the true god status. It required great ability from the
practitioner. More importantly, some would not succeed in breaking through even after trying a few times,
and they’d have to rest for quite some time before attempting to break through once more.
That was why everyone knew how difficult it was to advance through the stages.
jackie nodded his head when he saw everyone’s excitement. “I did breakthrough. I’ve also been growing
accustomed to my chi over these past few days!”
“Heh. Like father, like son! How could we not envy a master like you, jackie?”
Titus nodded his head in satisfaction, evidently excited as well.
At this moment, a flying sword appeared from another direction, heading toward where they were going.
“It’s the Norman family!”
The First Elder frowned when he recognized them, their swords drawing closer to each other.
“The Norman family?”
Daniella frowned as well when she heard this. She was well aware that the Norman family was on par in
terms of strength with the Cabello family.
However, the Norman family had pretty good relations with the Cabello family, and since the Cabello
family was on bad terms with the White family, the Norman family was not close with the White family
either.
Furthermore, plenty of young masters from the Norman family were interested in Daniella. That was why
they frequently fought the White family members—all to gain recognition from her and her two sisters.
She never thought that they would run into this bunch not long after leaving for the competition.
“Eh!”
The people on the other flying sword also quickly recognized jackie and the others.
“Look. There’s a flying sword there! It must be another powerful family!”
A young woman spoke to the person beside her, smiling.
“It looks like the White family.”
The elder standing at the forefront furrowed his brows together after observing them for a while.
“Strange. Since when did the White family have a flying sword like that? I thought they’d be walking
there.”
After they heard this, many people burst into laughter. Although the White family was one of the eight
shadow families, their strength was nothing compared to the other seven. That was why they looked
down upon them.
Chapter 1262 “Don’t laugh. They probably picked up a lower-grade tool that so happened to fly toward
somewhere, so they’re using it!”
The First Elder of the Norman family spoke in a sardonic tone.
After all, jackie’s sword looked dull and ordinary then, and only a tinge of black encased it. It flew at a
leisurely pace, not too fast and not too slow.
That was why there was no way to tell the grade of the treasure.
The only thing they could be sure of was that a flying treasure was no doubt a spiritual tool. Some of the
low-grade spiritual tools could also fly, but they could not go very fast.
“They picked it up?”
Their Second Elder was taken aback for a while. “Hah. Even a flying treasure is not worth picking up if
it’s a low grade one,” he commented, smiling. “They must have spent quite a fortune to buy that second-
hand item.”
A young master from the Norman family rolled his eyes. “Second Elder, how could you say that?” he said
solemnly. “They’re one of the eight shadow families as well and are a first-class family. How could you
just say that they bought a second-hand item?”
“Heh. That’s true. I forgot about that!”
The Second Elder cleared his throne, making everyone laugh again.
The young man also grinned. It was evident that they were in cahoots with each other.
However, his smile quickly hardened, and his muscles stiffened.
“That–that woman. Why is Daniella Cabello there?”
The young man squinted at the flying sword, brows knitted. The more he studied the woman, the more
she looked like Daniella.
However, he thought maybe he was wrong. The Cabello family and the White family were not on friendly
terms. As the third daughter of the Cabello family, why would Daniella be mingling about with the White
family? She was even on the same flying sword as them.
Many people also went goggle-eyed when they noticed this.
“You’re right, it’s her!”
A young woman exclaimed after she saw them.
“We’ll know who it is once we get closer. No way that it’s Daniella!”
Master Norman thought about it for a while before directing the sword toward jackie and the others,
closing the distance between them.
“Why are the Norman family members coming our way? Are they trying to greet us?”
Chapter 1263 The First Elder could not help but frown when he saw them coming over. Worry clenched
his chest.
“Who cares. We have nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we can’t hide from them forever. We’ll run into
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthem at the competition venue anyway.”
Nash gave a frosty smile and spoke languidly.
“It…it really is Third Young Mistress Cabello!”
After they closed some of the distance, an elder exclaimed and scrubbed his eyes.
“Daniella, why are you on the White family’s flying sword?”
Master Norman’s eldest son, Keith, was slightly taken aback. “Miss Daniella, were you kidnapped by the
White family?’ he asked. “If you were, blink. The Norman family will save you!”
The second son of Master Norman also stepped forward. “This beautiful young woman is the Third
Young Mistress Cabello, White family members,” he hollered. “I’ll make sure to give you h*ll if you dare to
touch a single hair on her head!”
A fatty, who was the third son, also spoke up in a blustering manner, “Upon my pride as a Norman son, I
swear we won’t be able to face the Cabello family if anyone bullies her!”
Daniella was internally speechless. “I wasn’t forced into this,” she replied. “I just wanted to go for the
competition, and I so happened to bump into them. Since we were heading for the same place, I just
hitched a ride from them!”
Daniella was well aware that the three young masters all displayed affection toward her—as well as her
two older sisters. It was evident that they were out to gain attention from any of the three girls.
Keith immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Really? I thought you were kidnapped. After all, the Cabello
family isn’t on good terms with the White family!”
Here, he felt that something was off. “Third Young Mistress Cabello, don’t tell me that you’ve been forced
to lie because they’ve blackmailed you or because you’re afraid of them?”
The second son was also stunned. “That’s right. Your families are not close with each other, Third Young
Mistress Cabello. You have no obligation to sit on their flying sword even if they’re going in the same
direction. Come over and sit with us. It’s more comfortable here. More importantly, we’re faster. We’ll
arrive at Kobe Mountain in no time.
“I appreciate your concern, but there’s no need for that. I’ll just sit on their flying sword!”
Daniella felt awkward. It would be taxing to sit on the same sword with those three fellows, who were
likely to be sucking up to her all the way. She would rather be dead than listen to their groveling.
Master Norman suddenly felt embarrassed. All three of his sons tried to coax Daniella, but she
unexpectedly did not reciprocate. She would rather sit with the White family than them.
Master Darryl Norman suddenly spoke with a frosty expression, “Ah, surely I’ve heard that wrong, Third
Young Mistress. The relation between your family and theirs is sour, yet you’d rather go together with the
White family instead of the Norman family. You’re taking a jab at my reputation. Besides, aren’t you afraid
that I’ll tell your father about this? He’ll be angry.”
Daniella did not expect that Darryl would get mad over something so trivial. She hated it when others
threatened her.
“Master Norman, it just so happened that we’re going the same way,” she said, pitching her tone low. “It’s
such a small matter. And you’re saying that I look down on the Norman family because of this? They’re
one of the right shadow families too. It’s not out of the ordinary for me to follow you or follow them. What
do you mean that I’m jabbing at your reputation?”
Here, she spoke straightforwardly, “If you’re really so petty that you would tell my father about this,
please, go right ahead.”
Chapter 1264 It appears that what Daniella uttered was extremely straight to the point and Master
Norman was unable to refute it.
If he still continued to hold onto that matter and report to the Cabellos about how she was with the White,
would he not appear as being petty? However, if he let it go at that moment, the Norman family would be
extremely embarrassed. After all, they got into such a situation when they kindly asked Daniella if she
was kidnapped and even invited her to travel with them instead.
He proactively changed the topic of their conversation after thinking about it. He glanced at Nash and
smiled coldly. “Master White, I heard that something happened in the White family around one month
ago? Tsk tsk… If such an interesting plot was written into a book, the book would surely be a hit!”
The corners of Nash’s mouth slightly twitched. He knew that some people would bring up that matter and
talk about it. However, he did not expect it to be mentioned during their journey to Kobe Mountain.
He glanced at Darryl and smiled bitterly. “Haha… I had no idea that the Norman family was so well-
informed and actually paid attention to the situation at the White family!”
Nash paused before continuing to speak, “Something did happen previously but it’s our family’s internal
affairs and we’ve already resolved it!”
Nash obviously did not intend to continue the conversation with him.
Unfortunately, Darryl who was humiliated a moment ago, did not plan to let Nash go so easily.
He had a playful smile on his face as he said, “Have you really resolved it? Aren’t you slightly too
confident about it? In my opinion, this is not something that you can resolve so easily. Your wife was
actually involved in an affair with the Third Elder. Sigh, who knew that Lily Lagorio is that sort of a person.
I heard that she even poisoned you. Tsk, tsk… What a scary woman.”
The First Elder of the Norman family also stood forward. “That’s right. This did not only cost the Lagorios
their honor, even the White have lost their faces. Apart from that, Master White, you had been really
careless for letting them poison you.”
Nash’s facial expression darkened. Something like this was a disgrace to the White family. Who knew
that these people would mention it on purpose without sparing him some dignity.
He could only smile bitterly. “Everything is in the past. We’ve killed those who deserved to be killed and
punished those who deserved to be punished. Our White family will definitely have better development in
the future!”
Darryl’s son, Keith, then said with a smile, “Will you be able to have better development? I don’t think so.
Haha… You’ve worked so hard to become a first-class aristocratic family. You must have suffered quite a
loss now that the Third Elder, several other elders, and patronums have died. Haha… some of the
families that once stood by your side might not even acknowledge your positions this time.”
Nash smiled bitterly. “Eldest young master, you are right to say that we’ve suffered quite a huge loss.
However, we’ve progressed nicely over the past two to three years. The position of Third Elder and the
other elders have been taken over by the other branch family masters. We are also working hard to grow
stronger. We’ll need to observe our growth in the future!”
Although Nash was secretly unhappy, he knew clearly that it was best to not offend these seven families.
Hence, he would try his best to give in under such circumstances and not get into a fight with the other
party.
Hence, he remained a calm expression even though the other party had said such things about his
family. He even maintained a smile on his face as he conversed nicely with them.
“Haha… I’m afraid that it would be hard for you people to get the recognition from others this time. As
one of the eight shadow families, you can’t get low positions in this competition. It would be shameful if
you did not enter the top ten and end up with a low placing in this competition!” Darryl Norman once
again laughed loudly and said.
“Don’t you worry, Master Norman. I believe that there’s a possibility that the White family will surprise
everybody this time!” Daniella, who was by the side, could not stand it anymore.
In the past, she would have ignored any comments the Norman family had about the White family. She
might even gloat because she was a member of the Cabello family.
However, she felt uncomfortable and unconvinced for the White family when she heard others
commenting on them now. She even stood forward and proactively spoke on behalf of the White family.
Chapter 1265 Darryl did not expect Daniella to not only refuse to travel with the Norman family, she
helped to speak on behalf of the White family.
He was slightly stunned before he spoke with a smile, “Really? Let’s see how it goes?”
He thought about it after he spoke before asking Daniella again. “By the way, Daniellita, are you sure that
you don’t want to come with us? If you sit on this wasted flying sword with the Whites, it might take you
some time. Isn’t it better to reach the towns under Kobe Mountain earlier for a rest?”
“Uncle Darryl, why do I feel that sitting on their flying sword would be much faster than traveling with
you?” Daniella smiled as she turned her head to ask jackie. “ jackie, our flying sword would be faster
than them, right?”
jackie kept quiet the entire time as he believed that the White family’s development would be proven in
time.
However, he still nodded as Daniella was doing so much talking on behalf of them. “That’s for sure!”
“Haha… Who knows where they got this wasted piece of junk from. It’s a joke that they even think about
comparing speed with our flying sword!” Keith smiled coldly. “Daniella, it doesn’t matter if the Whites
have gone mad. Why have you decided to follow in their footsteps? My father’s flying sword is a middle-
grade spiritual tool. How can your useless flying sword compete with his?”
“We’ll know if we can compete with his flying sword after we try it out!” jackie was too lazy to explain to
them. He changed his thoughts and with an increase in speed, the flying sword flew out with a whoosh.
“Such speed!” Darryl was stunned. He discovered that jackie’s flying sword was already a huge distance
away from theirs.
“F*ck, I don’t believe that I can’t catch up!” He immediately controlled the flying sword to increase its
speed as he wanted to catch up with jackie and the others.
However, jackie’s flying sword was already speedy and he was still increasing it’s speed. After ten
seconds, they had completely thrown the Normans behind and disappeared from their line of sight.
“How’s that possible! We failed to catch up!” Darryl’s eyes were wide open as he swallowed his saliva
hard. He wondered if he had made a mistake. He had been increasing the speed of his flying sword
without stopping and it was at its limit. However, their distance with the White family’s flying sword was
getting further and further away until they were completely thrown behind.
“This can only prove that the level of the White family’s flying sword is higher than ours!” Darryl had
raging emotions in his heart and slowly spoke after some time.
Chapter 1266 The Norman family’s First Elder was in disbelief at what he saw. “That’s impossible. The
White family doesn’t have any middle-grade spiritual tool as I recall, especially a flying sword at that.
Such a spiritual tool is even rare! Our swords failed to fly faster than theirs. Could their sword be an
upper-grade spiritual tool?”
He was not hallucinating or dreaming—everyone else saw the same thing, after all.
Darryl said with a cold expression on his face. “Never thought the White family would get lucky and score
themselves a rare item from who knows where. If this is an upper-grade spiritual tool, it’ll be able to
increase quite an amount of combat power! If Nash uses this sword, I won’t be able to take him down on
my own!”
“By the way, who’s that young man,” a young man chimed in after he spotted them, “and why does it
seem like Daniella is well-acquainted to him?”
“Daniella seems to call him jackie!” added another.
“ jackie, that illegitimate child?” The Norman family’s second young master had a scowl on his face.
“Damn it! That Daniella would rather sit on such a person’s flying sword instead of going with us?”
Keith, on the other hand, gave a tight-lipped smile. “It could be that Daniella felt that their flying sword is
much faster, and she’s willing to travel with the White family because she knows that the sword is an
upper-grade spiritual tool. Let’s not overthink it!”
“That’s right! Miss Daniella has such a noble identity, after all, so how can that illegitimate child be worthy
of her? Only prodigies like us are compatible with Daniellita!” scoffed Conley Norman, chin raised high
haughtily.
In their opinion, the White’s flying sword is only an upper-grade spiritual tool and not an ultimate-grade
spiritual tool, even though it was much faster than their flying sword. After all, there were only a handful
of ultimate-grade spiritual tools.
The competition’s venue was at the bottom of Kobe Mountain. The top family among the Eight Shadow
Families would announce the rules and rewards of the competition once everyone had gathered.
There was a small town at the bottom of Kobe Mountain where, due to its generous Chi, many would
train.
The Eight Shadow Families and a few second or third-class shadow families would arrive earlier before
the competition started to have a good rest. They would then leave together and gather at the empty
ground outside the forest located at the bottom of Kobe Mountain.
“Haha… We’re so fast! I’d love to see the look on Master Norman’s face!” chirped the gleeful Daniella,
extremely happy with herself on the flying sword.
“You should try to have a low-profile. After all, our White family don’t want to offend the Norman family!”
quipped jackie as he wore an awkward smile. “We can’t afford to be engaged in several huge fights. We
need to try our best in increasing our overall strength so that the other families won’t ever belittle us.”
Lancelot and the others were embarrassed when they heard this. They never expected that jackie would
make such a comment toward Daniella without fearing she would be upset.
Surprisingly, Daniella, instead of grumbling, blushed instead as she lowered her head. “Alright, I get it,”
she muttered. “I’ll listen to everything you say in the future, alright?”
Chapter 1267 Many were baffled by what Daniella had said? What did she mean, listen to everything he
would say in the future? Why did that sound like a conversation between a couple?
jackie was just as startled. He could only smile sheepishly as he looked in front of him while urging the
sword to fly forward.
With this flying sword, the group arrived at the outskirts of the town under Kobe Mountain that night.
jackie stopped the flying sword when they arrived at the main entrance. “Alright, let’s get down and walk
in. It’s best to keep a low-profile, too, seeing as it’s a hassle if someone set their eyes on such a precious
item.”
Nash nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, let’s head in.”
Jumping down from the flying sword, they walked toward the entrance after jackie made it much smaller
and hid it into his martial ring.
“Seems like we’re the early birds. It won’t be easy to get accommodation had we come much later.” The
First Elder smiled bitterly. “Back then, we’d only be able to look for caves outside the city to stay in if we
failed to find a place to stay.”
“Haha…! We have to thank Young Master jackie for his flying sword; we wouldn’t get here at such speed
had it not been for his sword?” Mason chuckled heartily. Although the White family suffered a serious
loss with what happened previously, they were still confident toward their development, especially since
jackie’s was immensely talented and had the fighting prowess of the real-god stage’s intermediate level.
Together with this ultimate-grade spiritual tool, his combat power was compatible with the masters of the
