Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 73

Jacob did not renege and the Shaw family indeed had the capabilities of a centuries-old family. Within a day, they were able to gather and collect the materials required conducting the Mana Collecting Matrix.

As agreed, Jacob was at the Shaw family’s pugilistic centre and arranged a large scale Mana Collecting Matrix. From then on, the Shaw village aura gathered at Jacob’s training area as well as the Shaw family’s pugilistic centre.

Thereafter, Jacob arranged a simple psychedelic array on his Mana Collecting Matrix to prevent anyone from barging in to disturb him at the most critical moment of his isolation.

After these were completed, Jacob didn’t waste any time and began his isolation. He wanted to use the shortest time to break through the second phase of “Gasification” stage and enter the third stage of “Incarnation phase”. Once he was incarnated, he would become as powerful as a God.

As long as Jacob could enter the Incarnation phase, then a lot of his magic that could only be used by those in incarnation phase could be used. Inclusive of his self-created Nine Secrets of Demon Emperor and other secret magic of the incarnation phase.

Jacob was excited when he thought about it.

Once he could enter the incarnation phase, then not to mention sniper rifle, he would not be scared of jet fighters, tanks, and even artillery.

When that happened, he would totally have the ability to protect himself.

…

…

There was no end to practicing martial arts. A lot of practitioners in the Universe would isolate themselves for years and even decades. Some of the old Sages may not be seen for centuries when they go into isolation.

Half a month had passed since Jacob isolated himself at the Shaw village.

If Jacob used the practice method in his previous life, he would have already broken through to the Incarnation Phase by now. But during this life, he had the Chaos Pearl and Jacob practiced the Power of Chaos. All the aura of the heavens and earth would transform into the power of Chaos and nothing remained.

Hence, the practice process was much slower than Jacob expected.

In the practice, Jacob forgot something. Another way of putting it was this matter was never taken seriously by him. It was insignificant to be even considered by him.

…

…

It was almost a month and the Boyce Goldsmith started to move south towards Riverside city. The news of Boyce heading south immediately caused huge ripples in the martial arts world in China. Boyce was an emerging Virtuoso and the youngest martial arts Virtuoso in this century which attracted all the attention of the martial arts world.

After Boyce left the Capital city, he went to City Y to challenge Jerome Lester, an old Virtuoso of City Y.

That battle was conducted in secret at the Lester family in City Y. No one knew what happened and neither the outcome.

After he came out of the Lester family, he left City Y and continued heading south. He did not return to the Capital. Hence, most people guessed that Boyce the emerging Virtuoso had won.

This news spread rapidly across the martial arts world in China.

But many expressed their doubts. Although Boyce was very talented and could be regarded as the most talented in China’s recent century, he only became a Virtuoso for a month. How could a new Virtuoso win Jerome Lester who had been a Virtuoso for many years?

But soon all these doubts were broken.

Because when Boyce left City Y and continued heading south, he went into City X to challenge the leader of City X’s renowned martial arts center, Mortimer Osborn. Mortimer was strong and at the peak of his martial arts abilities, unlike Jerome of City Y who was an old Virtuoso.

He was angry that a young man came to challenge him. He felt that even if Boyce was talented and skilled, he was just a young man who just attained the Virtuoso status. How could it be so simple for him to march southwards to establish his status in the martial arts world as an invincible fighter?

Mortimer accepted Boyce’s challenge but did not conduct it privately. A stage was set up in City X to fight Boyce openly and stop his march south. But in this battle, Mortimer lost! He lost to someone who just became a Virtuoso. It was a great humiliation.

This battle shut the mouths of all those who doubted Boyce’s abilities. This caused another tremor in the martial arts world of China. The youngest man in China in this century to reach Virtuoso had proven his capabilities. He had proven that not only could he master his skills quickly, his fighting abilities were also powerful.

Everyone thought that Boyce would return to the Capital after defeating two great Virtuosos, proving his abilities and establishing a name of invincibility. They thought that he would go into isolation and consolidate his gains and fortify his foundation as a Virtuoso. But Boyce did not return to the Capital.

He continued south and went into South Riverside Province.

He challenged the Virtuoso of the Parker family, Ronald Parker.

This immediately shocked those people who were following the news of Boyce’s march southwards. This chap was insane. This was the impulsiveness of a youth, not knowing his limits!

But when they thought through it, it actually made sense for him to do it. He should establish a name for himself now since he was so talented and had the self-confidence.

But now, the majority did not think highly of Boyce.

When he challenged Jerome of the Lester family City Y and City X’s renowned martial arts center leader, Mortimer, they were considered Virtuosos at the preliminary stage. But Ronald Parker of South Riverside Province was an intermediate-stage Virtuoso.

Most of the practitioners of martial arts only know that a person needed to have incredible powers to achieve Virtuoso status.
