Winner Takes All

This was an enclosed room.

It covered an area of approximately two hundred square metres. The entire room was confined except for a few air vents that allowed the bright light from outside to pass through.

There were various weapons as well as some diagrams displayed around the room.

It was complete silence inside this room, even the sound of the blizzard and howling winds seemed to be extraordinarily subtle.

When Jack followed Zenith entering this room, both of them could not help but stun for a moment.

After regaining his sense, Zenith asked, "Is this your training room?"

"Yes."

Zenith nodded and said helplessly, "I have no other choice. If the commander really trains outside, the ordinary armies will see me as a monster. I can only pretend when I'm outside, but my real training spot is still inside this room."

"Why?"

Jack was a little shocked.

Being the military soul of the Dragon Cavalry, Zenith would obviously win his armies' hearts if he trained together with his armies outside.

Although Zenith was already endorsed and popular in the Dragon Cavalry, his words still made Jack puzzled.

Zenith did not reply.

Instead, he walked towards the weapons rack in silence and drew out a Fraxinus Spear.

"Watch properly at this spear."

When he finished uttering his last word.

Zenith moved his right foot backward powerfully and stomped on the ground violently.

Bang!

His right foot landed on the ground with a thundering sound, causing an explosion and haze everywhere.

It was at the same moment.

His right hand held the spear. After he simply released the spear without any fancy technique, the spear was pierced straight out directly.

Buzz!

The ear-piercing and buzzing sound instantly caused Jack's eardrum to ache severely. He could not help but wrinkle his eyebrows.

It was in a flash.

Jack who was still staring at the spear was even astonished and his face turned drastically.

In his eyesight, on top of the Fraxinus Spear which was held one-handed and pierced out easily by Zenith, there were spiral cyclones visible to naked eyes wrapping around awesomely. As the spear was thrust out, the tenacious fraxinus stick was split into strips in the sudden, just like rotten cotton.

This scene happened in a very short while.

However, Jack could see every detail clearly in his eyes, as if everything was slowed down.

It was when Zenith thrust out the spear completely.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

The spiral cyclones wrapping on top of the spear flew out of the spear directly. Like a spiral cone, they crashed onto the walls three metres away loudly, creating a rigid hole in the wall. The Fraxinus Spear in Zenith's hand had completely transformed into cotton at this moment, becoming limp piece by piece.

It was silence.

The room was so quiet that even a dropping needle could be heard.

Jack who had witnessed this shot suffocated slightly out of the blue as if an invisible huge hand strangled his neck. His body was even tingling and his scalp was as if it was about to explode. It was just a simple shot and it had caused such massive power?

Pop!

Zenith threw the rotten wooden strip in his hand onto the ground.

He turned around and calmly looked at Jack who was dumbfounded, "Do you understand now?"

"Yes... Yes, I understood."

Jack's throat was a little tight and he said astonishingly.

With a simple shot, yet it could shatter all weapons instantly and still remain powerful three metres away, what if it came with a strike?

Jack did not dare to imagine, but he was certain that Zenith would definitely astound three hundred thousand armies of the Dragon Cavalry if he really trained outside.

Even after witnessing Zenith's powerful shot, Jack suddenly was doubtful about the scene when he had hardly taken three strikes from Zenith before.

Jack was mumbling as he looked at Zenith in shock, he asked, "So, that time when you let me take your three strikes, do you actually retain your strength for those three strikes?" Zenith rubbed his nose and laughed softly, "I can't give my master's nephew a deadly strike, right?"

Boom!

The calm words that came out from Zenith enlightened Jack.

It was indeed disastrous when he had hardly taken three strikes from Zenith in the beginning, but he actually managed to take those three strikes by his own strength.

In his opinion, the gap between his strength and Zenith was not impossible for him to bridge. If he trained hard enough at all costs, it was definitely possible for him to reach Zenith's level.

But now...

Jack suddenly felt powerless while looking at Zenith. Although Zenith was just right in front of him, he abruptly felt that Zenith was so far apart from him, somehow unreachable! This man who looked like God was even charming as if he was putting on the coat of God in front of Jack at this moment.

"You have come to the Dragon Cavalry for three months. Apart from your military achievements, you should have improved as well. It will be worthy for your three-month experience in the Dragon Cavalry to gain such rewards."

Zenith placed his hands at the back. Although he was not too much older than Jack, his grand and domineering aura had apparently overshadowed Jack, "Starting from today onwards, I will train you in a systematic way every night. I hope that after you leave the Dragon Cavalry, your strength can be improved once again. As such, you won't feel sorry for wearing the crown of the Hughes Family on your father's birthday."

"Thanks, senior."

Jack was elated and excited.

Zenith's strength was far stronger than Brent's.

The systematic devil training developed by both of them was obviously a huge difference.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As his strength increased with time, Jack had clearly felt that Brent's set of training was no longer adequate for him.

However, the systematic training assigned by Zenith would obviously be more suitable for him!

It was even more crucial.

Zenith was the disciple of his uncle, Brown and Zenith had inherited the spirit of Brown.

By training under Zenith, Jack could more or less inherit some of Brown's fighting skills.

Both the master and disciple, one of them conquering the Black Hell and the other conquering the Northern Territory.

They could be known as the unrivalled pair of master and disciple!

"This is what I should do."

Zenith smiled, "By the way, you don't need to worry about those issues in your home. I will help you to keep an eye on those. Even though the development of your assets might slow down gradually once you arrive at the Dragon Cavalry, it shouldn't be affected much overall."

"Don't worry about it."

Jack waved his hand, "Since I have decided to take refuge in the Dragon Cavalry, I have also prepared to leave those issues aside. As long as I'm gone, they will be safe as well."

"Yes."

Zenith nodded his head, "Then, let's get the training started. You will first train a set of strikes with me."

Jack focused and looked intently at Zenith.

Zenith slowly raised both of his hands and performed his strikes.

However, Jack frowned gradually as he was full of doubts.

Zenith's movements were very slow. When he breathed in and out, his hands and feet moved as slow as a tortoise, as if it was the speed of the old men performing Taiji in the park early morning. Moreover, his every single strike was extremely weird. His backward step and twist punch even gave people a sense of slight twisting...

Everything was confusing in Jack's sight.

This kind of strike made a big difference with the systematic training assigned by Brent.

Nevertheless, Jack still felt awesome for Zenith although he was uncertain about Zenith. He looked at Zenith carefully.

It was when a set of strikes was done.

Zenith stood with his hands at the back again, "Do you get it?"

Jack nodded his head.

Zenith gently smiled and said something that made Jack's heart pounding rapidly as if his heartbeat skipped at the moment.

He said, "Start training then. This is what my master has taught me. If you can master it completely and keep practising, it will not only improve your ability to control your muscles, but also increase your chances to sense the energy."

#### Chapter 903 Behead A Clan Leader?

Boom!

Zenith's words were like a landmine.

It raised Jack's heartbeat, he felt like his heart was about to jump out.

It even turned his breathing rapid and rough, uncontrollable.

Muscles control was the key to ultimate fighting skill!

Regardless of martial art practitioners who hit bottleneck or simply wanted to increase one's ability, they were trying every way to control as many muscles as possible.

The same punch had different power depending on how many muscles were in control!

Presently, he could only control a few muscles and utilized them to push other muscles to generate a more powerful attack. This was a trick he learnt from "Arrow S". This trick could increase his power but was completely different if compared with muscles control.

It was extremely difficult to master the art of muscles control, even a practitioner like Jack who trained restlessly in this regards showed not many improvements. Most importantly, this set of moves was able to increase one's aura by triple or more!

Slash, swords, fists power... And other attacks along with sensing energy would increase its power and was able to kill in the air, without a direct hit!

Like Isaac's "Killer God's Slash" or Iga Tobi Ryuu's "laido Slash".

These were strikes by sensing energy!

It was so powerful that it could kill in the air even without any direct hit!

Jack had a brief understanding of sword technique involved aura when he fought Iga Tobi Ryuu's "laido Slash" back at the bamboo wood.

But the technique was different from sensing energy.

Even though the slash from him was able to injure Iga Robi Ryuu without a direct hit, it was just the technique he imitated, it was nothing compared to Iga Tobi Ryuu's "laido Slash".

Jack had even been reminiscing their battle that night all this while.

Unlike muscles control, sensing energy was hard to imitate!

This required sentimental realization, not stealing!

But Zenith inherited this set of moves from Brown Hughes, and the results were miraculous!

"Guess the effects of this set of moves would put the world in chaos if it was exposed, huh?"

Jack sighed emotionally.

Muscles control, sentimental realization were keys for martial artists to increase their power on a large scale.

And Zenith's simple and slow demonstration just now had achieved both the effects, it was mesmerizing.

Zenith didn't reply to Jack, he said instead, "Since you've memorized it, practice it."

"Okay!"

Jack nodded, he then closed his eyes and replayed Zenith's moves in his mind.

He opened his eyes, took a deep breath after making sure he had got every move and started practising.

He moved at a slow pace with ultimate concentration.

He even had full control of his breathing and tried his best to follow the breathing rhythm and momentum showed by Zenith just now.

But he realized something was not right when it came to the third move.

He felt odd, the joints on both hands and legs felt jammed when he changed moves.

Even his breathing was messed up, he panted like a cow at times and held his breath at others.

These changes made Jack nervous and panic.

He tried his best to stabilize his breathing and forced himself to continue practising.

But the jamming of the joints and breathing disorder was getting stronger and stronger since it first appeared.

At his fifth move, Jack collapsed onto the ground out of a sudden!

He experienced severe difficulty in breathing and his face was soaked in sweats.

His chest moved ups and downs rapidly, he asked Zenith while gasping, "Why, what happened? I... I did it according to your moves and your breathing rhythm, why, why..."

Without letting him finished, Zenith walked towards Jack and patted his shoulders. "Jack, some things can't be imitated, it needs realization!"

Jack was in bewilderment, he was still gasping while feeling exhausted at the same time.

Even when he was presently sitting on the floor, the exhaustion and sweating continued to worsen.

A few simple moves but drained Jack's energy, it was much more tiring than firing arrows nonstop for three hours at the wall earlier.

He had only performed five moves and was already depleted.

"There's still, two hours gap until the morning training session, use this time to practise here, go back to the field and train with others on time."

Zenith said then left, "It's useless to know only the surface, the move must be followed as well as the meaning behind it. It may look easy but each move has its uniqueness."

Jack sat on the floor, frowned and digesting Zenith words.

Zenith suddenly stopped, he said without looking back. "Achilles told me that you suggested igniting domestic war within the Coalition Order, creating hates among themselves, thus, dividing them?" "Yes, this benefits us the most, also easiest to achieve."

Jack gained back his rationality and said baldly, "A joint forces of less than twenty foreign troops were able to force the battle near the gate, a hundred of them would be like swords hovering in the sky and could destroy The Giant City in one strike. If they succeeded, it would be a tough battle for the Dragon Cavalry, putting them in domestic war and internal conflicts while we observe is a better strategy."

"Do you know how far had Coalition Order developed?" Zenith asked.

Jack shook his head. "I don't know, you can tell me."

Zenith was still facing Jack with his back, shook lightly and smiled, "I don't know either."

Jack, "..."

After a deep breath, Jack continued, "Zenith, three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry had no idea their commander is mischievous, right?"

Zenith changed the topic, "Who do you think we should behead then?"

Jack thought for a moment, "I don't know much about the clans, but in considering the current situation, the first one to be beheaded should be one with power, a weaker clan could not stir chaos or shaken

their collaboration. The second one should be the ultimate enemy of the first, it would be easier for us to plant and frame them. It's just a matter of time to divide and crush their collaboration as long as the two

points mentioned above are achieved."

"Great! Our thoughts are alike."

Zenith smiled and nodded. He then turned half of his face and looked at Jack with a smiley face.

Jack had a bad feeling seeing Zenith.

Zenith then smiled evilly, "Let's set a date after a while and we both will cross the border to the north, pick and behead a clan's leader!"0000
