The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1698

As the recruitment of martial trainees was progressing steadily, the official change of the appearance of Deragon Sect was scheduled to take place three days later. Most of Jadeborough’s martial artists were invited.

The fact that Jared became a Greater Martial Arts Marquis in his twenties was bound to attract a lot of attention. While most of them admired his skills, others were jealous of his success. Naturally, there would also be people who wanted to curry favor with him.

While Deragon Sect became all the rage in the martial arts world of Jadeborough, it was not that well-received by those in the Warriors Alliance. Skylar’s expression turned gloomy when he saw Jared’s success.

How did Jared get this far? He was a nobody a year ago! I could’ve easily crushed him with just my pinky finger! How is it possible for him to undergo such a huge transformation in just one year?

As much as Skylar hated to accept this fact, he knew he had no other choice.

“Ugh… Let’s just hope that Jared’s success will draw Lord Tanner’s attention. Maybe he’ll send some Black Silver Robes after him…” Skylar mumbled to himself.

I just don’t get it… I work really hard and have the smarts required, so why am I still inferior to Jared? He and I are the only ones to reach Greater Martial Arts Marquis in Jadeborough’s martial arts world! Well, there’s also Edgar, but he died long ago.

“Jared was able to defeat you even though you had a sacred martial arts relic. It looks like your cultivation level won’t go any higher than this,” said the spirit inside him in a disappointed tone.

“I… What other choice do I have? I was unable to kill Jared even with the help of a sacred martial arts relic! That woman he’s with is ridiculously powerful! I attacked her with the sacred martial arts relic, but it didn’t do any damage!” Skylar exclaimed helplessly.
