Life, Once Again novel Chapter 2

In Jack’s eyes, there’s no difference between Martial Practicers and servants.

What’s more, they were the type of servants that he despised.

Only those little Immortal Practicers of Foundation-Building Period would take Martial practicers as servants.

He had once been the Xuanchen Lord and all his servants had been of the Immortality phase.

Such a small Martial Practicer could only be as funny as the monkey in Kunlun Mountain.

So, in his eyes, there’s a long distance between he and the old gentleman who was unqualified to know his name, not even qualified to sit beside him.

However, to the little girl Sara, his words sounded so rude, so she could no longer control her anger. She stood up right away, pointed at Jack and said furiously, “Show some respect to my grandfather, or I’ll rip your mouth!”

As soon as the girl stood up, ten young guys stood up along with her. They all looked unkind and must have been their underlings.

These guys were rubbing their fists and seemed ready to kick Jack’s ass. But to their expectation, the old gentleman scolded right away, “Sara! Don’t be rude! Apologize! Hurry!”

“What?” The girl stared at her grandfather in surprise and said, “Grandpa, this jerk dares to disrespect you, I could kill him a thousand times!”

“How dare you!” The old gentleman shouted with extreme anger, “I said, Apologize, now!”

The girl got terrified by her grandfather’s anger. After making sure it’s not a joke, she gradually took away her aggressive attitude and said unwillingly to Jack who remained calm, “I am sorry...”

“Sorry Senior!” the old gentleman corrected her angrily.

With tears in her eyes, Sara said, “I am sorry, Senior...”

Then, the old gentleman turned to Jack and said humbly, “Senior, Sara is my granddaughter; I am sorry for her behavior; I should have disciplined her.”

Jack didn’t respond and closed his eyes again.

Seeing this, the girl was going to explode again but held back her temper because her grandfather eyeballed her again.

Then the old gentleman became humbler, “Senior, I am the Master of Shen Family in Jinghai City. The words you just said, I heard my grandpa mentioned them when I was little but he never explained them to me. Will you please elaborate? I would be so grateful and at your service whenever you need me!”

Jack opened his eyes and took a glimpse at the old gentleman. He surrounded the three of them with his Fairy Aura that he just took in and said calmly, “I’ve said it quite clearly. Twenty-five is a deadline, or the whole life is hopeless. That is to say, if she still can’t acquire the Inner Strength before twenty-five years old, it would be impossible for her to be a Master of Martial Arts in her lifetime.”

Then Jack looked at Sara again and laughed, “She must be Twenty something. And she’s just acquired Outer Strength. I don’t think she can release the Inner Strength and use it as Outer Strength even if she reaches your age.”

The old gentleman got so stunned!

What a capable young man he was!

To the old gentleman’s surprise, Jack could not only hear his voice hidden in Inner Energy, but also said the same words that his grandpa used to say; what’s more unbelievable, Jack could see though both of them, which meant this Jack must be someone great, really great!

The essence of Martial Arts lies not in practicing but refinement of the body. So, only by looking or feeling, one cannot know other people’s state. They’ll have to fight to get the information they want. It’s unbelievable that this young man should see through him. It’s very likely that he’s a Master of Martial Arts!

Oh dear!

The old gentleman could no longer hold his excitement and thrill. The ancestor of Shen Family used to be a well-known and wealthy businessman, but he spent fifty years serving a Master of Martial Arts. He even built a huge Taoist rite for him with all his possessions in exchange for a secret formula of Martial Arts.
