Winner Takes All

Boom!

At this moment, the hoarse voice was like a thunder in the sunny day even if it was just a whisper.

What?

Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in Zenith Harol's brain and his calm expression changed significantly finally at the moment.

He was round-eyed with shock and horror.

His mind was in a tumult and he even blurted out, "Impossible!"

But once he said, Jack Hughes stopped at the ninth ending action and suddenly spun.

He turned in an easy and smooth way without stagnation.

Obviously he made strenuous efforts after the conversion of the movement.

However, it was indeed... the tenth action!

He was like a turtle which was crawling, moving slowly.

If the previous movement was said to be changed inch by inch, then now... was changed in decimetre.

It was so slow that the time in the practice room seemed to be slowed down artificially.

Zenith was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, his calm expression turned astonished.

He felt that his throat was choky and a bit suffocating.

Jack was changing his movements at this moment.

He even trembled and sweated profusely.

His face turned pale and he was in a mess.

Only his eyes looked determined, like the moon in the dark night which unusually shined brightly.

"I can do it. I can carry on..."

He gritted his teeth and kept admonishing himself.

This was the result of his training for fifteen days night and day without any slack.

It was not only an assessment by Zenith, but also for himself.

His hands and legs were sore and numb, as if a great number of ants were biting him.

It was even more like the ants bit directly into the nerves, penetrated through the flesh.

When it came to the end of the tenth action, he looked even painful.

That was heavy!

That was extremely heavy!

Even each inch of his skin all over his body seemed to be very heavy at this time.

Both of his hands and legs even seemed to be pressured by few great mountains, trying to stop his movements forcibly.

Zenith looked at Jack who was suffering.

He finally recovered from shock and loosened his sweaty fists.

However, once he loosened, he clenched his fists again.

The first time he clenched his fists was because of shock.

But now, he clenched his fists to cheer for Jack silently.

Eventually, Jack's tenth action was gradually coming to an end.

Zenith appeared to be joyful and excited and his eyes were shining.

If his expression was seen by his three hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry, it would definitely make them dumbstruck and their jaws drop.

It was because he had always displayed his domineering and stern look, as if he was very lofty, standing on top of the firmament and looking down upon all beings. However, at this moment, his expression was as if a god had fallen into mortal world!

He didn't even show this expression when he succeeded in destroying a city in his own and when his prestige was known by northern tribes.

Just as Zenith was elated and excited, Jack finally completed his tenth action.

Jack changed his action once again before Zenith could breathe a sigh of relief.

"No!"

This made Zenith's face being nearly contorted.

His exclamation echoed through the training room.

However, it was still too late.

Jack straight away switched to the eleventh action.

This change happened all of a sudden!

"Pfft!"

At the moment Jack switched his action, he soon felt that his internal organs were seemed to be smashed by a heavy hammer brutally. The fresh blood straight away spurted out of his mouth. Then, his body trembled severely. Soon all of his energy gone and he sagged wearily on the ground.

This sudden scene not only made Zenith confused, but Jack was also confused.

He sagged wearily on the ground with the blood remained at the corner of his mouth and the smell of blood remained in the nasal cavity.

The excruciating pain through the bones of his limbs made his whole body tremble and shiver uncontrollably when he was extremely exhausted and weak.

This was not only the twitching of his muscles, but the trembling of his epidermis from the inside out.

Jack didn't expect that this movement would bring such a great impact.

What he had suffered just now was almost more than the pain he suffered when he did all the eighth, ninth and tenth action!

It was like a great hell was suppressing him and the ocean was overturning. These instants defeated him devastatingly.

"You're too reckless!"

Zenith looked a little pale. He gritted his teeth and scolded Jack angrily, "Why you still shift to the eleventh action since your body could only endure it until the tenth action?" According to his strength and his understanding to these actions, Zenith clearly knew that Jack had reached his limit when he moved to the tenth action as his body was too weak. Jack was simply trying to force himself to break through his limitation.

"I... only... have... three... months..."

He didn't look up, lowered his head and faced to the ground. His lips and teeth seemed to use all his strength to speak with his low and hoarse voice.

Zenith was stunned.

Then he started to be annoyed, “Blame me! It was all my fault! When I'm teaching you this set of actions, I didn't remind you that there're ten movements per group and it'll bring a huge wear and tear to your body when switching to the second group. I, I really didn't expect this..."

He suddenly stopped talking after he said that.

Actually he wanted to say that he really didn't expect Jack would practise up to the tenth action in these fifteen days. He even didn't expect that Jack would switch to the eleventh action decisively.

The reason why he stopped talking was because he had realized what's done was done, so it was useless to say anymore.

Obviously he had lost control of himself when he was so angry and chagrined just now.

He frowned and looked deeply at Jack, "You still have three months. There's no need to rush at all. You can't perform this set of actions well and digest it within these three months, but you still have a long time afterwards."

"I... want... to... become... strong... quickly..."

His body was still trembling and he remained lowering his head. At this time, his whole body was suffering a great pain as he persisted to switch to the eleventh action.

"You're too anxious! Why are you so eager to get it done fast? Don't you want to master this set of actions using less than three months?"

Zenith was filled with anger and he scolded him annoyedly.

He had seen too many geniuses as there was never a lack of geniuses in Dragon Calvary.

This was the first time he saw such a reckless and bold person.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jack had no regard for his life.

In Zenith's opinion, this was a foolish act.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Sometimes, the attempt was more likely to be abortive if being too aggressive.

However, Jack answered, "Yes."

His response completely infuriated Zenith.

At this moment, his anger outburst as if it was volcanic eruption.

'You're crazy!'

'You're such a crazy person who acts recklessly!'

But before he let out his scolding.

Click!

Jack's neck suddenly came a crispy sound before Zenith could rebuke him angrily.

Zenith was shocked and swallowed his words as the words were about to come out of his mouth.

Jack looked up slowly. Every inch of his movement was hard and would even make a creepy "click" sound, as if there was a great mountain on top of his head and his neck was trying hard to lift it up. This sound was obviously overwhelming.

He looked up hard and faced Zenith.

His face was still trembling. He smiled, but the blood spurted out of his mouth.

At this moment, his eyes were brilliant like the starlight.

His voice came out from his bloody mouth as he spoke using all his strength, "She... is waiting for me...to back home."
