Chapter 478: Sparring Min Ling
Jack floated in space. The Death Boat floated to the side, a looming behemoth, while the Bone Belt surrounded them in all directions, partially hiding the stars beyond. On a careful glance, Jack noticed this wasn’t the same part of the Bone Belt they’d been at before. The Death Boat had moved since his breakthrough. It made sense—he’d raised quite a ruckus.
“Ready when you are,” his opponent called out. She raised her spear, pointing it straight at his nose. Red lightning danced on its tip. She grinned. The crowd cheered.
Min Ling was a pale-skinned, dark-haired woman Jack had first met while training at the Cathedral. They’d been C-Grades then, with her being at the very top of the rankings. Despite that, she was not an asshole—a stark difference from many other cultivators.
The two of them had adventured together in the Green Dragon Realm and spent three years meditating in a cave. They were good friends.
Now, they had both reached the early B-Grade. Their once-uneven cultivations had caught up, and any clash between them would depend entirely on talent. That was what Min Ling wanted. She didn’t think she could win, but she was a warrior. Facing the unprecedented genius of Jack Rust, she wanted to see how she stacked up. Her anticipation was through the roof. She’d never been more excited.
So was the crowd. They also didn’t doubt the conclusion of this spar, but who would miss the opportunity to see two great talents go head-to-head?
Who would miss Jack Rust’s first battle since entering the B-Grade?
Jack smiled. “Prepare yourself, Min Ling. Here I come.”
“No need to warn me! And, just so you know, I will be going all-out. If I accidentally kill you, it’s your fault.”
