Chapter 29 Cultist

```

Thud!

Jack Clark and Justin Welan exchanged blows with full strength once again, the collision of their fist and palm producing a dull explosion. Both were sent staggering back a few steps by the fierce recoil.

"Stop, no more fighting."

Drenched in sweat, Justin Welan gasped for breath and waved his hand, indicating he wanted to stop.

Seeing this, Jack Clark paused his movements, also exhaling deeply.

At this moment, both of them were drenched in sweat, their skin flushed red, emanating heat—a sign of their Qi Blood boiling.

After calming the Aura within his body, Justin Welan complained, "Jack, we were just sparring, just sparring. Did you need to go so hard?"

When they started the fight, both had been holding back, but as the fighting spirit rose and their blood boiled, Jack Clark's strikes became heavier and heavier.

Facing this situation, Justin Welan naturally stopped holding back either. And so, the two of them exchanged punches and kicks, the fight turning increasingly brutal.

Jack Clark touched his somewhat swollen left cheek, smiling, "Isn't it just a case of meeting an equal opponent? I got carried away. Plus, you hit me more than a dozen times more than I did you. I'm at a bigger disadvantage, okay?"

"Is that how you count it? Look at my face." Justin Welan protested, pointing at his swollen eyes.

Although Jack Clark was hit more than a dozen times by him, those punches landed on his back or shoulders. He'd only been hit in the face once, which was much better off than Justin Welan.

By now, not just Justin Welan but even onlookers like Freya Louise hadn't expected their fight to be so fierce.

Freya Louise approached Jack Clark, looking at his cheeks with curiosity, "Jack Clark, does it hurt?"

"What do you think, want to give it a try?" he said, his gaze falling upon her innocent and pretty face, seemingly eager to test it out.

To hit such a beautiful face, one would probably cry for a long time.

Freya Louise quickly shook her head, "No way."

"Hee, Justin Welan, your arm is swollen." Vera Wada poked Justin Welan's left arm with her finger, causing him to grimace in pain and quickly dodge away.

"Don't touch, it hurts."

Crystal Lewis came over, holding a small bottle: "I have a bottle of Special Ointment here, it can quickly reduce swelling and activate blood circulation. The two of you should take it and rub it on."

"Thanks, Class Leader." Without any reservation, Justin Welan took the ointment and went with Jack Clark to the changing room to apply it.

As the two left, Vera Wada stuck out her tongue, "I didn't expect that classmate Jack Clark, who seems so gentle, could fight so fiercely."

The always silent Sawyer Levin nodded, "Yeah, poor Justin Welan."

Even though Jack Clark was at a disadvantage the whole time and took more hits, for some reason, everyone felt Justin Welan had it worse.

In that moment, Sawyer Levin suddenly felt relieved that a few days ago, after being repelled by a punch, he had chosen to stop fighting in time.

Otherwise, he might have ended up like Justin Welan, and he wasn't sure how his classmates would talk about him then.

Suddenly, Crystal Lewis said, "What do you think, if I invite Jack Clark to join our club again, will he refuse?"

Vera Wada blinked her big eyes with curiosity, "Class Leader, why do you still want to invite him?"

The other two were also surprised.

They were all high school youths who cared about face. Logically, after being rejected by Jack Clark once, Crystal Lewis shouldn't have considered this again.

Crystal Lewis said slowly, "Because he's very courageous, and his fighting instinct is strong. If he joins our club, he'd be a good teammate."

The others had only seen the intensity of the fight, but she noticed more.

For instance, Jack Clark faced being at a disadvantage without fear, even responding more fiercely and calmly when he was pressed, and the instinct to trade blow for blow but avoid vital spots during combat.

Such a person is naturally a soldier, with resolute Will.

Freya Louise spoke softly, "I feel he will still refuse."

"Fine, forget I said anything."

```

```

.....

```

```

"Hiss! Jack, easy, easy."

```

In the changing room, Jack Clark was applying ointment to Justin Welan's shoulder, eliciting pained squeals from the latter whenever he applied even a little pressure, leaving Jack speechless.

```

"You're such a big guy, why are you so afraid of pain? Look at me, I don't flinch at all." While saying this, Jack rubbed some ointment on his own chest as if it was nothing.

```

"Nonsense, it's because I'm afraid of pain that I chose the Mysterious Martial Thick Earth Formula."

```

Justin rolled his eyes and retorted, "Plus, don't lie to me. You used a lot less force when you applied it on yourself than when you did it to me."

```

"How could that be, am I that kind of person?" Jack said with a smile as he put down the now empty ointment bottle.

```

After they had applied the ointment, they moved their bodies around a bit. The Qi Blood flow was indeed much smoother than before, and the swelling on their bodies was also dissipating quickly.

```

Jack asked, "Mr. Willard, how much is your arm strength now?"

```

Knowing what he wanted to ask, Justin didn't hide it: "190 kilograms. The Mysterious Martial Thick Earth Formula enhances punch concentration by one and a half times at the First Layer."

```

"Figures," Jack nodded.

```

His own arm strength was only a little over 150 kilograms. With the difference in their cultivation methods, it was no wonder he was completely overpowered by Justin.

```

Considering this, the strength of others who practiced advanced skills was probably around the same as Justin's. The difficulty of winning over them seemed quite high. Jack mused.

```

After all, trading injury for injury is a last resort.

```

Moreover, when overall attributes are suppressed, if the opponent is ruthless enough, trading injury for injury would actually put him at an even greater disadvantage.

```

"Today was painful, but exhilarating, especially you, Jack. I didn't expect you to have improved so much that we could go back and forth in a fight," Justin said, rubbing the corner of his eye.

```

"Nowhere close, you're still a bit better than me," Jack playfully complimented back.

```

Justin just shook his head, "If I were better, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

```

"That's because you let me," Jack chuckled.

```

"Do you think even I believe that?" Justin rolled his eyes.

```

Just then, Jack suddenly asked, "Mr. Willard, do you know what's happened these past two days? I saw law enforcement officers everywhere on the streets."

```

Both yesterday and today, those figures were all over the streets, and Jack was puzzled about what had happened.

```

As for why ask Justin, it was, of course, because he was well-informed.

```

"It's nothing serious. I heard that two Evil God Sect Cultists appeared, and they're currently being tracked down."

```

"Cultists, those who cause chaos in Koroya," Jack's expression grew serious.

```

Noting his solemnity, Justin said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Jack. This place isn't like the small country of Koroya. The more of those guys show up, the more will die here."

```

"You may not see many cultivators in everyday society, but there are a lot of experts in our city, especially the teachers at our school."

```

"Still, these next few days could indeed be a bit more dangerous, so try not to wander around at night needlessly," Justin warned him in the end.

```

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jack left the school once the swelling on his face had subsided. On his way, he took out his mobile phone and searched for news about Koroya.

```

Then he found that in the half month that had passed, the situation there had become even more severe.

```

Almost half of Koroya saw traces of rebels formed by cultivators, and among them, there were a number of Evil God Sect Cultists mixed in.

```

The so-called Evil God Sect is a group of dangerous elements that have emerged in recent years, often appearing in the underdeveloped countries of the South, frequently causing unrest.

```

As such, every time they appear, they are quickly exterminated by the local official forces.
