In the quiet and enclosed house, the sound of surprise was very clear.
Guy looked up at Jack and saw him frowning. He had a strange expression and looked very solemn at that moment.
‘Is it too hard?’
‘Impossible, because His Highness could defeat the powerful Wolfgang. The first Constellation of the Wolf couldn’t put His Highness on the spot after just a few glances.’
‘The first Constellation of the Wolf was just the basis of the Seventy Two Constellations of the Wolf. Even if there were some achievements in the Constellation, it shouldn’t be comparable to His Highness, right?’
Just when Guy was wondering that.
“Guy, can you come here for a second?”
Jack suddenly turned his head and cried out with a dignified expression.
His expression just reinforced Guy’s suspicions.
He walked quickly in front of Jack, he didn’t dare to ask directly but he said respectfully, “What can I do for Your Highness?”
“You should have comprehended the first Constellation of the Wolf?”
Jack’s eyes narrowed and he frowned when he glanced at the First Constellation of the Wolf in front of him.
“I have, but I’m very bad at martial arts. Up to now, I only have studied until the Fifth Constellation, and I still didn’t learn properly the Fifth one.”
Guy spoke very solemnly but actually he was worried. He revealed everything about his background, and he was afraid that His Highness had something in mind.
But Jack raised his finger and pointed at the Constellation of the Wolf, “Can you explain me that?”
Sure enough!
It just happened what he was worried about!
Guy looked grim and he was puzzled, but he still tried to explain, “Your Highness, you must rely on yourself to fully understand the Seventy Two Constellations of the Wolf. If you rely on others’ explanations, you won’t be able to comprehend well the martial arts of the Seventy Two Constellations of the Wolf.”
“That’s not what I meant”
Jack shook his head, solemn face, and said, “Never mind, now that you understood the First Constellation of the Wolf, you should be familiar with its content, help me to compare.”
Compare?!
Guy’s gaze had gone blank for a moment.
Almost at the same time.
Jack took two steps backwards, leaving a distance between him and Guy.
Then, under Guy’s quizzical gaze, Jack’s whole body slowly bowed up like the string of a bow.
That was…
Guy got even more confused, he had no idea at all about what Jack was up to.
And next.
As Jack let out a deep breath, his hands and feet started moving slowly and deliberately.
Because it was a comparison, he had to slow down in order to make Guy see it clearly.
“Hmm?”
As Jack showed the first movement, Guy’s brows tightened. He murmured in a low voice, “Why does it seem so familiar?”
As he murmured, Guy’s mind raced.
He wasn’t good at martial arts but he focused on leadership. In the Wolf House, he was trained to become military adviser, so he really didn’t know so much about martial arts.
Anyway, when Jack showed the fifth movement…
Boom!
Guy shivered and, like a bolt from the blue, his eyes lit up and his thin face crept out as if he had seen a ghost. He exclaimed, “It’s impossible!”
Although Guy’s amazed expression, Jack didn’t stop and continued to show it slowly, and his expression was a mixture of disbelief and ponderation.
“It’s impossible, it’s impossible…”
