Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 435

Jacques got popular at the All Peaks Competition when he rose to the top last time, a clear black horse in the running. As a personal disciple who was only at grade two of the nature level, Jacques making to the list of top 100 had shocked the disciples of Cloud Sect.

He managed to overturn the status quo and did well in the more difficult challenges against the higher-level disciples.

His miraculous performance had long been discussed by many delighted spectators.

It was largely assumed that nobody else would be able to achieve the same feats as Jacques, for it was truly difficult to face someone who had been in the higher level.

Nobody thought his record would be bested after three years. The young man, Zen, broke it easily with his fierce postures and astounding strength.

At grade two of the nature level, Jacques had made an impressive record at the All Peaks Competition when he got into the top 100. But in the same competition, Zen had broken records again and again to make it to the lists of the top 100, top 50, and then to the top 5. The records he made were nothing short of a miracle in the present and past combined.

Latecomers could only marvel at the records in shock. In the years to come, some people found it hard to believe that Zen had really achieved all that. After all, they hadn't been there to witness it.

Jacques was arrogant. For him, it was no big deal to be one in the top 100 list when one belonged to grade two of the nature level. He had steeled himself to face every tough challenge at the All Peaks Competition three years ago. He didn't care about his record, but it bothered him that Zen broke it.

Because of that, everyone would compare him to Zen.

Jacques wanted to quash such comparisons straightaway, so he decided to defeat Zen in a match. It was why he challenged Zen as soon as he got to the competition field. Unfortunately, they hadn't drawn each other's names on the round robin before.

"It's destiny. You can't escape it," Jacques spoke as he stood before Zen.

"Hmm? When did I escape?" Zen asked him with curiosity.

Jacques laughed. "Perhaps you didn't, but you are still afraid to compete with me. Am I wrong?"

"Afraid?" Zen smirked casually as if he had heard a great joke. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why should I be afraid? Didn't you offer to fight me by lowering yourself to the nature level? Even if you decide to lower yourself to the consummation of nature level, I would outmatch you. Do you really think I'd be afraid of you then?"

"Yeah, I do remember Jacques saying that. At that time, I thought his proposal was well-meaning, but now... now I think it's funny," one of the spectators whispered.

"That's true. Zen may lose to Jacques with all his strength, but he can't lose to Jacques if he's at the nature level. Jacques was just showing off," his friend said.
