Seven days later.
Outside a hidden cave, Gerald said to Salvatore and the others, "I'm going to enter seclusion here for a few days. The few of you, guard the entrance of the cave. Don't let anyone or animals come in and disturb me. If an expert stronger than me appears, send me a signal in advance, understand?"
Salvatore hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Boss. If anyone dares to disturb our Boss's cultivation, I'll cripple them. If two come, I'll cripple both! Lord Gerald, cultivate in peace. You'll definitely break through this time!"
Gerald also seemed to like how Salvatore praised him. Although Salvatore followed Gerald for the shortest time, he trusted him the most.
Gerald nodded. "Yes, this seclusion breakthrough is very important. If we're not careful, we might go berserk. With you guys guarding here, I'll be at ease."
Gerald walked into the cave and began to cultivate in seclusion. Soon, it became night. In addition to Salvatore, there were a few people with similar cultivation levels as him guarding the entrance.
Suddenly, Salvatore stood up. "Brothers, come and smoke with me."
The others didn't understand. "Smoke? What's smoke?"
Salvatore chuckled. "It's good stuff. I guarantee you'll like it."
Salvatore tricked the others to go to the side, but he used the smoke that he had prepared beforehand to knock them out. Then, he took out his weapon and stabbed them a few more times.
Then, Salvatore returned.
"Mr. Jordan!"
Salvatore called out softly.
At that moment, Jordan suddenly descended silently!
Jordan stood outside the cave and looked inside. He was excited, "Gerald is inside?"
Salvatore nodded. "Yes, he's cultivating in seclusion inside. Perhaps he wants to break through to the Grandmaster Realm. While he's cultivating, we'll kill him while he's unprepared!"
As Salvatore spoke, he was about to rush in and take the lead.
However, Jordan stopped Salvatore. "Your cultivation base is too low. You're no match for Gerald at all and he can kill you in one strike. Your mission has been completed. Just wait for me outside."
However, Salvatore was unwilling. "Mr. Jordan!"
Jordan was very determined. "Say no more. Guard outside!"
Jordan knew that it was useless even if Salvatore went in. He would only die in vain. This was destined to be a competition for the scholars. Other realms could not participate at all.
Then, Jordan walked in.
He first put in a small robot to check Gerald's condition. He realized that he was indeed cultivating. Moreover, at a critical moment, Jordan suddenly appeared with his sword without hesitation!
Under Jordan's modifications, the broken sword had become a very handy weapon. Jordan jumped out at lightning speed and slashed at Gerald!
"Argh!"
Gerald was completely unprepared and took the attack head-on. However, his reaction was very fast. The moment he was attacked, he used all the energy in his body to retreat quickly, causing Jordan's second strike to miss!
Gerald supported his injured body and looked at Jordan in shock. He said in disbelief, "You… You're that genius, Dawn? You're already a scholar! Why are you here to kill me?"
Jordan recalled the scene where he was killed by Gerald earlier and said angrily, "Don't worry. Before you die, I'll definitely tell you why I'm killing you!"
