Chapter 72: Wardrobe Malfunction
Jacob smiled playfully while saying, “Don’t you say that as long as I let you become my prentice, you
can do anything? Are you scared?”
After hearing this, Bernice’s face turned red with embarrassment.
“I…can do anything… except that matter!”
Bernice could not speak smoothly.
“That matter refers to which matter?” Jacob continued asking and smiled even more.
“I mean that matter!” Bernice said, then immediately changed the subject and sat on a chair at the side,
“Anyway, if you don’t accept me as your prentice, I won’t leave here tonight…”
At this moment, Bernice did not know why she could be so bold and fearless to threaten a Virtuoso.
Finished speaking, she immediately glimpsed Jacob’s expression change. After all, if she really
infuriated Jacob, it would be a big problem.
When a Virtuoso was infuriated, blood would flow everywhere!
“I’m not short of a prentice, but short of a maid, what do you think? As my maid, you can serve me
closely and I can often advise on your martial arts.”
Jacob continued saying and was not infuriated by Bernice’s perverseness and threats. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Bernice’s personality reminded Jacob of a friend in the past. The smile on his face had more sincerity.
“Alright, if Kaley does not mind, I can serve you closely, even very close also can!”
Bernice suddenly curled into a pleasant smile but a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes.
Jacob was stunned. He did not expect that Bernice knew Kaley’s existence.
But it sounded reasonable too. With the ability of the Shaw family, his matter in Riverside City could
indeed be easily found out by a simple investigation.
“If you can’t behave coquettishly like others, don’t come here to pretend to be enchanting. Go back, I
won’t accept you as a prentice, I can at most accept you as a nominal prentice!”
Jacob said in displeasure to give an expulsion order.
As Bernice heard this, she thought that it would be fine even if she was his nominal prentice. This was
already quite unexpected to her.
She took the initiative to ignore the first word. In the future, she was the prentice of a Virtuoso.
“I’m leaving now. Master, please have a good rest…I mean cultivation. I’ll come tomorrow to greet you!”
Bernice stood up and bowed at Jacob.
“You have a wardrobe malfunction!”
Jacob looked at Bernice and spoke in an impatient tone.
Huh?
Bernice was a little bewildered at first.
Next.
“Ah! Stop looking!”
Bernice directly screamed and hurriedly reached out her hands to cover her chest to cover her exposed
boobs.
In order to seduce Jacob tonight, after taking a shower, she purposely wore a long snow-white dress
with her shoulders exposed. When she bowed her body to say goodbye just now, her boobs were
exposed as her body bent down.
“Master, goodbye!”
Bernice immediately straightened up her body after covering her chest. She then left Jacob’s room in a
hurry.
Jacob watched Bernice’s figure that was leaving hurriedly. She surprisingly forgot to even close the
door of his room. He shook his head.
Then, Jacob reached out and waved his hand.
The room door then automatically moved and closed tightly.
…
…
The next day, as expected, Bernice really came over early in the morning to greet Jacob.
It was as if she had not secretly come to Jacob’s room last night at all.
She still looked like the valiant and unrestrained young female leader of the Shaw family.
And this time, not only Bernice, even Cornell, a Virtuoso-to-be who was always in seclusion and
seldom personally appeared in the Shaw family, Eugene, who was the head of the Shaw family, Tom
and the other senior members of the Shaw family, all came.
“It’s really Bernice’s honour to be able to worship Mr. Reyes as her master!”
Cornell said with a smile. The previous way of calling Jacob as ‘friend’ now also changed to ‘Mr. Reyes’
with a respectful attitude.
Once a person became a Virtuoso, he would overcome the material desire and attain sainthood. So,
Jacob’s level was much different from theirs.
With the matter that Bernice was able to worship Jacob as her master, the Shaw family was destined to
soar up into the sky with one start in North Riverside Province, and even South Riverside Province.
“Since you’ve become my nominal prentice, if you can’t become a Virtuoso-to-be within one year, I’ll
expel you from being my prentice,” Jacob looked at Bernice and said slowly.
In Jacob’s view, to become a Virtuoso-to-be within one year was already a very low requirement.
If it was any of his three prentices in the Dark Realm, even if they started training from a zero basic,
any one of them could become a Virtuoso on Earth within three months that could easily defeat the
most powerful person other than a Virtuoso like Darnell.
What?
When the crowd heard Jacob’s words, all of them froze on the spot.
One year?
Did they hear it wrongly?
“Master, is it true that you really mean one year?” Bernice was also a bit puzzled.
She wanted to worship Jacob as her master in order to have the hope of achieving the Would-be
Virtuoso Phase within ten years under Jacob’s guidance.
This was because even after ten tears, she would only be in her thirties. A Virtuoso-to-be in his or her
thirties was already considered exceptionally outstanding.
“What, are you doubting my words? If you can’t become a Virtuoso-to-be within a year, it simply proves
that you don’t even have the qualification to be my nominal prentice.”
Jacob looked at Bernice and spoke seriously.
He was not joking. If Bernice could not become a Virtuoso-to-be after a year, he would really expel
Bernice from being his prentice.
Jacob had already figured it out now.
Regarding how were the cultivation level in the universe and the martial arts level on Earth.
One who had achieved the first phase of cultivation method, ‘Perception Phase’, could sense the
spiritual energy of heaven and earth and slowly led the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the
body. This phase was equivalent to the Virtuoso-to-be on Earth.
And the phase he was now in was the second phase of cultivation method, ‘Gasification Phase’, which
enabled one to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that entered the body. This phase should
be equivalent to the Virtuoso of the martial arts world in China. After all, he felt that he was like killing a
weak animal when he killed a person so-called the most powerful person other than a Virtuoso.
In one year, it was the most basic requirement for a person with a martial arts foundation to cultivate
and reach the first phase, ‘Perception Phase’, which was like a Virtuoso-to-be.
“Okay, within one year, I’ll definitely become a Virtuoso-to-be,” Bernice immediately spoke. No matter
how difficult it was, she was bound to do her best.
If it was in the past, she would not have any hope of achieving it. But now, Jacob, who was a real
example, was right in front of her.
This man who was about the same age as her was already a person having the level like a Virtuoso.
So, it was not impossible for her to become a Virtuoso-to-be.
Seeing that Bernice not only did not be discouraged but was instead full of confidence, Jacob nodded.
Then, Jacob took out a small bottle from his body and threw it to Bernice, “There is a Small Qi
Gathering Panacea inside. Follow the method I told you yesterday to strengthen the foundation of your
martial arts under the effect of Reinforcing Panacea. After a week, take this Qi Gathering Panacea, and
then you will be able to reach the Masterstroke Phase of the Martial Art.”
The Small Qi Gathering Panacea was the worse version of Qi Gathering Panacea. This was mainly
because so far, Jacob had not found many of the medicinal herbs needed on Earth. Some could be
found on Earth but they were not old enough.
However, after hearing Jacob’s words, Cornell and the others were once again stunned.
Able to let Bernice reach the Masterstroke Phase of the Martial Art in one week?
Since the previous high-quality Reinforcing Panacea was a true example, this time, nobody doubted
the effect of ‘Small Qi Gathering Panacea’ taken out by Jacob.
What was more, being a Virtuoso, since Jacob dared to say so, he must have this confidence.
Even Tom and the others were also looking at Bernice with eyes that lit up.
Seeing their reaction, Jacob smiled and said, “I still have a few more here, I’ll give them to you guys as
the payment for the rental of the territory not long after.”
“Since Mr. Reyes is Bernice’s master, then the land of the Shaw village, except for the ancestral hall, all
can be used by Mr. Reyes. Regarding the rental payment, I hope Mr. Reyes won’t mention it again.”
Cornell said at once.
The words said by the Emperor of the Dark Realm were law.
Since Jacob said he would give, he naturally would not go back on his word.
Moreover, although you guys said something like that, the eyes of you guys had completely betrayed
you guys. Jacob could not help but shake his head and still gave those Small Qi Gathering Panaceas
to the members of the Shaw family.
This made all the members of the Shaw family spoke a thousand thanks.
…
…
That day, Jacob asked Lecherous Demon, Edwin, together with Grizzly Bear, to start setting up Mana
Collecting Matrix according to his requirements in the east land of the village that had been chosen by
them in the beginning.
After Mana Collecting Matrix was formed, the spiritual energy of the Shaw village was going in the
direction of Mana Collecting Matrix in the east of the village.
After realizing this change, Cornell was instantly astounded.
He knew that Jacob was going to set up Mana Collecting Matrix and also heard Jacob talk about the
effect of Mana Collecting Matrix. Therefore, he had also ordered people to collect the materials needed
to set up Mana Collecting Matrix. He had also requested Jacob to set up Mana Collecting Matrix in
pugilistic centre for the sake of the Shaw family so that it could become a place for the members of the
Shaw family to cultivate in the future.
Then, the effect of twice the result using half the effort could be achieved.
However, Cornell never expected that the effect of Mana Collecting Matrix set up by Jacob was
surprisingly several times better than what he had imagined.
Cornell originally thought that the reason Jacob set up Mana Collecting Matrix was to slightly increase
the density of the spiritual energy there. But the reality was that this grand Mana Collecting Matrix set
up by Jacob made the density of the spiritual energy there ten times greater.
The place where Jacob stayed was directly surrounded by clouds and fog.
It was not anything else but was that the spiritual energy was dense enough, so dense that the spiritual
energy turned into fog.
When Cornell went over and saw this scene, he was awe-struck.
The spiritual energy became fog!
This…this kind of thing only existed in the legendary places in the martial arts world.
All of these places were conquered by people with superpowers.
Cornell completely did not expect that such a place also appeared in the Shaw village.
Instantaneously, Cornell became extremely excited.
Jacob was able to set up such Mana Collecting Matrix for himself and Jacob also promised that he
would set up Mana Collecting Matrix for the Shaw family. So, wouldn’t this mean that the members of
the Shaw family, including him, would be able to cultivate in such an environment in the future.
In this case, wouldn’t he have the hope to become a Virtuoso before he died?
And if the members of the Shaw family cultivated in such an environment, how many people with small
accomplishments in martial arts and how many people with great accomplishments in martial arts or
even Virtuoso-to-be would appear?
Even if Cornell was a Virtuoso-to-be, at this moment, his breaths were not steady.
He simply could not imagine, totally could not imagine.
Jacob was destined to cause a stir in the martial arts world of China. He would absolutely have an
extraordinarily huge accomplishment in the future. Perhaps, the Reyes family would be the top families
of China in the future.
Whereas, the Shaw family was also destined to soar up into the sky with one start!
