Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 99: The Grandest Occasion Ever

Even if most people had believed in the accuracy of the rankings.

The Virtuosos went into action.

Without a true battle, no one was resigned to a low ranking.

Perhaps, even though they knew that they would be defeated, they were still up for a challenge, hoping

that they could learn from the battle!

All in all, the Virtuoso Rankings instantly aroused the enthusiasm of many domestic Virtuosos.

Late-stage Virtuosos, intermediate-stage Virtuosos, preliminary-stage Virtuosos and even Virtuosos-to-

be began to challenge each other.

The Martial World of China became livened up.

Not only that, the popularity of the Virtuoso Rankings also infected the neighboring countries.

It even spread to Europe!

Many foreign overmatches set off for China.

If it was that domestic Virtuosos challenged each other, it was China's own business regardless of the

results.

When foreign overmatches entered China one after another, the Martial World was in another uproar.

Foe no more, friend for sure.

They could lose to the fellow countrymen, but they never wanted to lose to foreigners.

However, all the foreign overmatches who dared to enter China were super powerhouses. They all

have the power to take over a region and frightened the majority.

Amidst the tide of overmatches gathering in China, many martial artists of China were suppressed.

Even Virtuosos on the rankings were constantly challenged.

What's more, some of them were even defeated by foreign overmatches.

For a moment, foreign experts were proud of defeating Chinese Virtuosos and sought for a promotion

by it.

Meanwhile, the Chinese martial artists were proud of defeating foreign experts. They shared the same

hatred!

Riots kept flaring up.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Jacob.

He was in seclusion in the Mana Collecting Matrix of the Shaw's.

After consuming all the rare treasures that Jacob could gather, he finally entered the middle stage of

the Incarnation Phase in one month.

However, what Jacob longed for failed to happen.

One test after another, his 'Blood Panacea Project' failed.

It was rare to refining something as rare as Blood Panacea.

It was demanding for environmental conditions.

Moreover, the materials he had were too simple and humble.

With great difficulty, a batch of panaceas came out. But they were too far from Jacob's expectation.

At most, it could improve one's physique. It couldn't bring changes.

And there was a fundamental difference between them!

But he would naturally not waste them since he had spent so much energy on them.

Right after he had collected the failures, a bell beside him suddenly rang.

This bell was connected to his spiritual will. As long as it rang, Jacob would hear it even if he was

cultivating.

And he made it to prevent something like Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone kidnapping his subordinates

from happening again.

If there were any crisis or important matters, he could be contacted timely.

Since Jacob had entered in the mid-stage of Incarnation Phase and the Blood Panacea failed, he was

about to go out of seclusion. His figure flashed as he disappeared.

"Mr. Reyes, are you out of seclusion?"

The one calling Jacob was Cornell Shaw.

Now, he was a preliminary-stage Virtuoso.

Jacob was nice to his men.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

After returning from the capacity city, he had given Cornell a lot of rare panaceas and a strand of the

power of chaos, helping him break through the bottleneck that had been stuck for decades. And Cornell

succeeded entering the preliminary-stage Virtuoso in one fell swoop.

It straightly made Cornell a loyal supporter.

And Jacob had gained his full respect and reverence.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Jacob asked.

According to Cornell's look, there seemed to be no crisis.

"Scarlet Flame Fruit appeared. I'm afraid of missing it, so I came to inform Mr. Reyes!" Cornell replied

in excitement.

A long time ago, Jacob had given them a long list.

Above were all kinds of materials and medicinal ingredients Jacob might need.

The Scarlet Flame Fruit was the top priority.

"Any news about the Scarlet Flame Fruit? Where is it?" Even Jacob was slightly panting from the

excitement.

The Scarlet Flame Fruit was one of the necessities for him to advance from Incarnation Phase to

Divine Sea Realm.

How could he not care!

"It's right in Riverside City!"

Cornell hurried to explain.

In addition, he stated a series of incidents that happened during Jacob's seclusion.

Hearing himself ranked third, he revealed an expression of interest.

He defeated the nine top Virtuosos in one go but was still ranked third. Could it mean that those who

ranked first and second had entered the Divinity Phase?

But Jacob denied it after thinking for a while.

At the very least, he was certain that the patriarch of the Goldsmith, who had entered the Divinity

Phase, was still alive.

But he was not on the rankings!

However, Jacob didn't care about the rankings.

What he cared about was the Scarlet Flame Fruit.

It turned out that the Scarlet Flame Fruit was owned by a powerful Japanese top Virtuoso.

Recently, many foreign experts have entered China, challenging Virtuosos. They wanted to defeat

Chinese Virtuosos to gain fame at home and abroad.

Some of them even wanted to defame the Martial Arts of China!

And the owner of the Scarlet Flame Fruit, was Miyamoto Takeshi, a Japanese top Virtuoso. He was a

representative figure among them as well.

Ever since he entered China, he had challenged many Virtuosos and never lost.

In every battle, he defeated the Chinese Virtuosos in a humiliating manner.

Moreover, he declared that China was not able to withstand a single blow!

However, to date, he had never challenged a Virtuoso on the rankings.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to challenge the Virtuosos on the rankings and wished

that he could be taught a lesson.

Miyamoto surprised them by stop challenging Chinese Virtuosos. Instead, he came to Riverside City

and invited Virtuosos to challenge him with the Scarlet Flame Fruit as a bet.

This time, it was not he who went to challenge Chinese Virtuosos.

Instead, he asked Chinese Virtuosos to challenge him.

His constant insult to Chinese Martial Arts had already arose the anger of the whole Martial World of

China.

Thus, Virtuosos flocked to Riverside City.

Including some top Virtuosos on the rankings.

"Miyamoto said if you want to challenge him, you should take out your bets. If you win, you can take

away the Scarlet Flame Fruit. But if not, you have to leave your bets and admit that you are the sick

man of East Asia!"

Even Cornell gritted his teeth when it came to Miyamoto.

He wished he could personally kill Miyamoto and unleash the might of China!

But he knew he was no matching for Miyamoto at all.

"It is in three days!"

A trace of interest flashed across Jacob's face.

What a Miyamoto!

He dared to be so arrogant in China, appearing to be bold as brass.

Though he had not challenged a top Virtuoso on the rankings.

Jacob was sure that Miyamoto's strength was definitely better than he had shown. It could even be said

that it was unfathomable!

Most importantly, he was smart!

He wanted to trick Chinese treasures out of the Virtuosos.

If he succeeded, he would definitely obtain many rare treasures in three days.

A sneer raised the corner of Jacob's mouth.

"Miyamoto, thank you for such a nice gift. I'm glad to receive it!"

...

...

Three days later, in the largest martial arts hall of Riverside City!

When Jacob arrived with his men, it had been full of people.

Today's battle had grabbed more attention than the battle between Jacob and Boyce at the border of

South Riverside Province and North Riverside Province.

Most of the audience were Chinese.

But non-martial artist held a majority.

People, from elegant nobles to ordinary men and women all came here.

They all wanted to witness Chinese Virtuosos teaching that arrogant Japanese a lesson.

To show how mighty China was!

Not only that, all the media companies had sent reporters to record this grand occasion.

Even the major live-streaming platforms were about to broadcast this occasion live.

Two experienced Virtuosos-to-be from the Martial World were invited as narrators.
