Nash patted Jack on the shoulder and in a slightly pained tone said, “You should take more rest and take things slower. There are still two more weeks to go. You’ll snap if you wound yourself up too tightly.”
Jack nodded and knew that his father was just worried about him. “Don’t worry, Father. I know what I’m doing. It’s true Wesley is a formidable opponent but not one that is worth me breaking my back over. He accounts for only a tiny part of my motivation for training this hard. My biggest motivator is that I might be sent to the frontline when the war breaks out. I can only sleep in peace if I keep on leveling up. Besides, I don’t know why but I can’t shake the feeling that the Dual Sovereign Pavilion is planning something fishy for us, new informal disciples.”
Jack had very good reasons to feel that way, one being Noel’s implications, and two was what had happened with the contribution points exchange. Moreover, Jack was well aware of his position of not being able to change anything in the Pavilion and should focus more on finding ways to protect himself by leveling up so favonovel.com would be worthy to them.
Nash nodded. He clearly knew that things were not the same as when they were in the Daxia World. He might have been able to support Jack then but now that Jack had surpassed favonovel.com in terms of ability, favonovel.com could only let Jack do things his own way. “That Wesley is an intermediate stage of innate level which is one level above yours. I’ve been researching the difference in cultivation levels and one thing I’m sure of is although the intermediate stage of innate level is only one level higher than yours, the potency and reserve of true energy is more than double of yours!”
Nash became even more worried and shook his head lightly. His eyes were filled with concern for Jack, I know you have the soul-gathering crystals, have absorbed a vast amount of the seniors’ soul fragments, and don’t lack any martial art techniques or skill but there still possesses an ocean-wide gap difference in power between Wesley and you. Please don’t underestimate him. I have been worried sick about you ever since I found out just how strong fighters in the intermediate stage of innate level are.”
Jack nodded slightly. He had given some thought to all these before but found nothing to be worried about. “Apart from increasing one’s cultivation level, what else do you think can increase the potency and reserve of one’s true energy?”
This question did not stump Nash. He laughed and in a buoyant voice said, “Did you really think your old father would not know the answer to a basic question like this? Why the answer has to be the skills you’re cultivating. The higher the level of skills you’re cultivating, the more potent and more reserve you’ll have of true energy.”
Jack nodded and smiled. “That’s right. Wesley might be one level higher than me but we’re cultivating different techniques. If I go by that vein, I might even come out stronger than him!”
Nash, of course, had thought about this but still could not shake off his worries. “I know you’re cultivating Divine Void Heavenly Path and that this is the ultimate technique in the Divine Void World, stronger than any of the techniques in this third world but you still lack the experience to wield this technique. Even if you have the experience of the seniors, it still doesn’t absolve the fact that you’re starting from square one. Tell me honestly now, can you say you’re confident about your own cultivation on this Divine Void Heavenly Path?”
The corners of Jack’s lips went rigid. He had been focusing on Void Slaying and had put the Divine Void Heavenly Path on the backburner. Therefore, there was no way favonovel.com could answer his father’s question with confidence. “No, I can’t say that with confidence but nonetheless, I have grasped some of the Divine Void Heavenly Path and I’m sure that the potency of my true energy is stronger than an average fighter of the intermediate level of innate stage.”
