A Man Like None Other

Wulfric looked incredibly displeased, yet he wasn’t willing to relinquish his position as the sect leader that easily.

“Mr. Whitehall, this individual is so young, I fear he may struggle with such a heavy responsibility. I’ve poured my heart and soul into the development of the sect over the years. To simply hand over the position of sect leader on a whim, I’m afraid it might cause discontent among the people. I’m willing to relinquish my position as the sect leader, as long as this young man’s array craft surpass mine. I’ll immediately step down,” Wulfric said defiantly.

Though Divinus had spoken, and his position as the sect leader was likely to be lost, he was determined to fight for it.

Observing how young Jared was, and that he was only a Sixth Level Tribulator, Wulfric decided to challenge Jared.

If Jared lost, he would have a fighting chance to remain his status quo.

Upon hearing this, Mickey glanced at Jared and asked, “Jared, he wants to challenge you to a duel of arcane array. What do you think?”

“Sure,” Jared said, offering a casual smile.

Wulfric, standing off to the side, was utterly flabbergasted. Mickey and Jared were on a first name basis?

That meant that Jared was Divinus’ disciple.

But over the years, he hadn’t heard anything about Divinus taking on any new disciples.

“Since you want to compete, let’s have one then. As for how we should do it, you call the shots,” Mickey said to Wulfric.

Mickey had complete faith in Jared’s arcane array abilities.

He was able to swiftly master his primordial divine markings, and even learned so many other divine markings.

How could someone who had even managed to refine demonic markings possibly fear Wulfric?

If it really came down to a contest of arcane array, even Mickey feared he was no match for Jared.

“All right, to avoid any casualties, we’ll only compete in breaking arrays. We’ll each set up three arcane arrays and challenge the other to break through them. The first one to breach the other’s formation will be declared the victor,” Wulfric exclaimed.

“No problem.” Jared nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s head to the martial arts arena to showcase our skills.” Wulfric led Jared and the others toward the martial arts arena. Everyone else followed suit.

At this point, Carlo finally had the chance to quietly approach Jared.

“Mr. Chance, what’s going on? Why did Elder Divinus appoint you as sect leader all of a sudden?” Carlo asked in confusion.

Jared, who was supposed to help him become the sect leader, was claiming the position.

“I never wanted to be the sect leader, but I have no choice. Elder Divinus forced me into it. But don’t worry. Once I take over as the sect leader, I’ll immediately appoint you as the vice sect leader. When I leave Duad Formation Sect in the future, you, as the vice sect leader, will be in charge of everything.” Jared patted Carlo on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Carlo looked at Jared in disbelief. He had never heard of Divinus forcing someone to take on the role of the leader of Duad Formation Sect.

However, observing Jared’s demeanor, he didn’t seem to be lying. Moreover, it was Mickey who personally brought Jared over, so it should be genuine.

“Mr. Chance, have you really become Elder Divinus’ apprentice?” Carlo asked out of curiosity.

“He wanted to take me as his apprentice to teach me the art of engraving divine markings, but I rejected him. I’ve already mastered the divine markings, why would I need a mentor,” Jared explained nonchalantly.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“You’ve mastered the divine markings?” Carlo almost blew his top at Jared’s words.

What kind of humblebrag is this?

For those in the Duad Formation Sect, aspiring to learn the divine markings required one to attain the status of sect leader. And even then, mastering a single divine marking could potentially take decades and still not be guaranteed of mastering it.

And yet, it had only taken Jared a few days to master the divine markings?

Carlo refused to believe it. It was all too outrageous.

Moreover, countless people yearned to be Divinus’ disciple, but he had rejected them all. Even the head of the Duad Formation Sect, despite his high status and position, was no exception. He simply did not qualify to be Divinus’ disciple.
