455: Pointless self-humiliation

Chapter 454: Meaningless Self-Humiliation

"I bet one million gold coins," Jack looked at the soldier in charge of hosting the gambling match and said loudly, "I'm betting on myself to win!"

As soon as he said this, the originally bustling training ground immediately fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

A few seconds later, almost all the soldiers burst into laughter, tears streaming down their faces.

"Hahaha, Northern guys really are idiots..."

"That's hilarious, this is the first time I've seen something so comical, I doubt anyone would believe it if I told them..."

"Excellent, truly excellent, this way I can win even more..."

Listening to the soldiers' mockery, Jack snorted coldly, then roared again, "Add another five hundred thousand gold coins!"

But these imposing words did not earn him respect; instead, they made the soldiers' laughter intensify.

Isurna looked on with a hint of intolerance and transmitted sincerely, "Jack, this one point five million gold coins is your entire fortune, don't mess around..."

"None of your business!"

"But this is completely giving it away for free..."

Jack showed no appreciation and glared fiercely at Isurna, saying, "Do you also think you're guaranteed to win?"

Swish!

"More talk is useless," Jack directly drew the long sword from his waist and roared at Isurna, "The nauseating mockery ends here, let's just fight!"

In Jack's view, Isurna's words were not well-intentioned advice, but sarcastic mockery!

"Sigh, didn't Dick try to persuade you?"

Isurna sighed helplessly and slowly drew Thunder Violet from her waist.

Thinking about how Jack would not only have his will crushed but also lose his entire fortune later, Isurna felt a bit unable to bear it.

Under a tree not far from the training ground, Dick and Beyonce were also watching the match. Both of their senses were extraordinary, allowing them to clearly know everything happening on the training ground.

"Dick, is this Isurna really that powerful?"

Beyonce faintly sensed that something was off. The Orc's perception of danger made her feel uneasy.

After Jack's duel, Beyonce also had a match with Isurna. She hoped to get some information from Dick.

"Heh heh..."

Dick shook his head and chuckled lightly, placing his hand on Beyonce's shoulder and saying casually, "You'll know soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Beyonce's unease deepened, because she actually saw a hint of pity in Dick's eyes.

"Then, then tell me how Isurna and I stack up, give an objective evaluation so I can be mentally prepared."

Beyonce couldn't help but feel a bit unconvinced. Although she was afraid, she also had the pride of a Swordsman prodigy.

Dick didn't answer immediately but looked towards the training ground in the distance. At this moment, the duel had already begun.

Jack didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Right from the start, he directly unleashed one of the ultimate skills of the Ancient God Mind Flow, turning his sword into thousands of light and shadow, slashing towards Isurna.

Such a full-power strike was merely a test for Isurna, which showed how seriously Jack took her.

Swish!

A purple lightning flash streaked across.

Clang!

A fierce sound of metal colliding rang out.

The next second, the sword in Jack's hand spun out of the training ground, and moments later, it stuck firmly in a patch of sand.

"You lost, Jack Gan."

"???"

Looking at the cold Thunder Violet pressed against his neck, Jack was completely bewildered. He didn't even know what had just happened.

There was no dramatic face-slapping scene, no thrilling and intense battle, and none of the back-and-forth that Jack had imagined.

He just inexplicably lost?

On the other side, Beyonce's eyes widened, her face filled with shock, and she murmured, "Wh-what happened?"

"Undoubtedly, this was an absolute Rolling."

Dick clearly saw everything that happened in a flash on the training ground just now.

Jack unleashed his ultimate skill right from the start, going all out, and was then instantly killed by Isurna with a casual counter-attack.

This wasn't a battle on the same level at all. Isurna was more like playing with a child, not even using one-tenth of her strength.

Dick patted Beyonce's shoulder again, saying meaningfully, "So now, how do you think you stack up against Isurna?"

Hearing this, Beyonce fell silent, and only sighed after more than ten seconds.

"Let's just cancel the duel later..."

Dick nodded gently in agreement. Beyonce was much more receptive to advice than Jack; self-humiliation was meaningless.

At this moment, the training ground was still very lively.

Although Jack was overwhelmingly defeated by Isurna, he still refused to accept reality, clamoring for another match.

The confidence brought by the Heaven-Reaching Great Fortune Body severely affected Jack's judgment. He believed that he would definitely be able to "burst" like before later.

But little did he know, besides being able to overwhelm with strength, Isurna could also overwhelm with luck. There was absolutely no possibility of Jack winning by chance.

Finally, after being instantly killed seven times, Jack's spirit and will were completely gone, and he left the field dejectedly amidst the mockery of the soldiers.

...

As night fell, after dinner, two Demons just happened to return with information.

Inside the military tent, Kun reported respectfully, "My Lord, Tinnus and I investigated thirteen noble territories respectively, and finally found the person you were looking for in a Courtesan House in the Inner City of Manbo City!"

Saying this, Kun cleared his throat, and Tinnus immediately cast a spell, and an 8K resolution holographic image slowly appeared.

In a simple room in the Courtesan House's basement, a thin, short-haired girl with a serious face was tinkering with something in a washbasin.

Anlei K. Lynch

Accompanied by various clattering sounds, the liquid in the washbasin continuously changed color, finally settling on a light green.

It was not difficult to see from the scattered materials around that the girl was making low-level healing potions, but her technique was rough and seemed full of mistakes.

But despite this, the girl still produced healing potions with a beautiful color. Only then did a hint of a smile appear on her tense face.

Seeing this, Dick's mouth curved. The "substitute" for the Magical Potion Master Hero had been found!

The girl in the image was named Anlei K. Lynch. Her professional talent as a Magical Potion Master was very high; in one lifetime, she even broke through to level 90.

However, it was regrettable that An Lei was still a long way from being a Magical Potion Master Hero.

In the later stages, she was at most a slightly more powerful cannon fodder character. Dick had killed her casually in several lifetimes when he found her annoying.

But Dick still planned to meet An Lei tomorrow, because she might be a beneficiary of the "fate is not fixed."

In this lifetime, An Lei was very likely to have awakened the Heavenly Luck of a Magical Potion Master Hero, making her very suitable to be a crafting tool.
