Chapter 119: You Are Not Qualified
Alan looked at the fat fetus, which appeared from nowhere and was trapped by Jacob. It was like an oriental version of Cupid. He was stunned.
"Mr. Reyes, what is this?"
He was also curious.
The fat fetus was delicate and cute. More importantly, it gave out a strong sense of nourishing mana.
In fact, it looked like being made of nourishing mana.
Having reached an agreement with the fat fetus, Jacob put it into the Chaos Pearl.
Jacob had tried to put living creatures into the Chaos Pearl, but it didn't work. Only lifeless things could be placed in the Chaos Pearl.
The fat fetus was not really a living creature.
It was a kind of a spirit body.
And nothing happened after it was put into the Chaos Pearl.
Inside the Chaos Pearl, there was a lifeless chaos world. Jacob was wondering if such a spirit body as was born after absorbing pure nourishing mana from the earth and heaven would bring about any changes to the world.
The elixirs and precious medicine from Alan had played a key role in getting the fat fetus out.
Hence, hearing Alan's question, Jacob didn't hide anything, "The fat fetus is a spirit body. It absorbed the nourishing mana from the earth and heaven and was born from the spirit spring." 'Spirit body?'
Alan might have an answer, but hearing Jacob's words, he was still shocked.
He had only read about this kind of spirit body, which was born with the nourishing mana from the earth and heaven, in ancient books.
But today, he saw one in the real world.
'Jacob knew how to capture a spirit body?'
'Who was he?"
Alan was more puzzled.
He felt lucky that he didn't leave. He could feel that Jacob treated him as a real friend after he took out his precious medicine to help Jacob.
Jacob had been polite to him, but it was only because he was polite to Jacob, too.
"Mr. Dale, what happened today is between you and me. I hope you can keep the secret!"
Jacob said.
Spirit fetuses were rare even in the whole universe.
If this secret was spread out, Jacob would be in trouble.
He was not afraid of anyone including those who had reached the Divinity Phase. He could kill them all.
However, it was trouble after all. Even if no one came to steal the fetus when first hearing it, they might intend to do so someday.
Jacob was strong enough. He was reaching the late-stage Incarnation Phase.
However, as his strength was recovered, he sensed that there was something on the Earth that even he would feel terrified of it. Jacob couldn't tell where this feeling came from.
But he knew that he wasn't invincible on the Earth until he stepped into the Divine Sea Realm.
He wouldn't be injured by ordinary bullets, bombs, etc., but he would be a dead man when facing nuclear weapons.
"I, Alan Dale, swear that I will never tell anyone about what happened today. If I do, I will never reach the Divinity Phase!"
Alan was decisive.
He went on to swear an oath.
It was the most solemn oath for geniuses like them who were expected to reach the Divinity Phase.
Jacob smiled and said, "You don't need to do that."
He began thinking highly of Alan.
"If Mr. Dale needs anything in the future, just tell me. I will help you whenever I can!"
Everyone knew that the current Emperor of the Dark Realm would take vengeance on anybody that had done something bad to him.
Also, Jacob was a man who discriminated between kindness and hatred. Regardless of the purpose, Alan had helped him today, and he would twice return the favor. "It's my honor to get Mr. Reyes' promise!" Alan laughed.
Then, he said, "Mr. Reyes, the Triangle Region is not a place to stay for long. Shall we return to China together?"
Jacob did not refuse.
He could ask Alan about the secluded families.
The ten great families in the capital city didn't know much about them.
The information they could provide for Jacob was limited.
Therefore, Jacob knew little about the secluded families.
Then, Jacob and Alan left the spirit spring cave together.
When they stood outside the cave, the last thing Alan wanted to see happened.
Shaan, the Divinity Phase expert and Marshal of the Triangle Region, was standing in front of them.
"Jacob, you finally come out. I thought you were going to hide in there forever!"
Seeing Jacob, Avada said.
After being punched into the air, Avada was furious. However, he didn't dare to say anything, so he just left with his tail between his legs. Now, he was like a different person. Clemon was also outside the cave, looking at Jacob. His expression was complicated.
There was no doubt that Jacob was strong.
Clemon admired strong people. But Jacob must die for he had undermined the Triangle Region.
Jacob ignored both Avada and Clemon.
He looked at the old man standing in front of them.
The old man was also looking at Jacob. Then, he said in fluent Chinese, "Not bad. A promising student."
"Your name is Jacob, right? I heard that you were not from one of the secluded families of China. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"
Everybody fell silent.
Alan was stunned, let alone Avada and Clemon.
Alan thought that Shaan was here to kill Jacob.
After all, Jacob had injured his people in his territory, which was a great humiliation.
He never expected that Shaan would want Jacob to be his student!
It was unexpected to Alan.
And it was also unexpected to Avada Clemon.
They had been following Shaan for decades.
Shaan didn't have any students.
They were extremely talented and had reached the Semi-Divinity Phase. Although Shaan taught them a lot about Martial Arts, they were just Shaan's followers that ran errands for him. However, Shaan had just asked Jacob whether to be his disciple or not.
It was unbelievable!
"You are talented. If you agree to be my student, I can teach you everything I have learned and help you reach the Divinity Phase in the shortest time possible."
"I have a son. He has no talent or no interest in martial arts, and he doesn't want to be my successor. If you are my student, the entire Triangle Region and my army will be yours. What do you think?"
"I'm not gook-looing, but my granddaughter is a beautiful girl. If you two like each other, I can also marry her to you."
Shaan kept tempting Jacob.
Each of the benefits he offered was impossible to refuse.
Hearing Shaan mentioning his granddaughter, Alan came to realization.
Shaan was serious.
Everyone in the Asian Martial World knew that Shaan, the Hand of God, was cruel. He would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
However, he was nice to her beautiful granddaughter and would give her everything she wanted.
Once upon a time, a Divinity Phase expert from the Middle East made fun of his granddaughter. Knowing this, Shaan picked a fight with the Divinity Phase expert and it had lasted for a day and a night. The expert suffered a serious injury. If he hadn't escaped with a secret technique that would injure his essence, he would have been killed by Shaan.
Everyone in East Asia heard about the fight.
Shaan became famous in Asia for the fight.
And Shaan's granddaughter also became famous for it.
No one would dare to want anything from or show disrespect to his granddaughter.
Now, Shaan said he would marry his granddaughter to Jacob if they liked each other. Despite the precondition that Jacob was his student, it was enough to show Shaan's sincerity.
Alan turned his eyes upon Jacob.
'What choice would Jacob make?'
Avada and Clemon stared at Jacob.
Shaan also looked at Jacob with interest.
Any sensible human being would know what to do.
If he agreed to be the student of Shaan, he would reach the highest level in one step.
Strength, power, and a beauty.
Everything was within his grasp!
The Triangle Region was an ungoverned zone, and Shaan was the king.
Jacob would be the future king.
Its status was roughly equal to the head of the secluded families in China. However, it was beyond everyone's expectations that Jacob did not agree.
Instead, he sneered, "You are not qualified to be my teacher!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
