706 THE START OF THE PRELIMINARIES

In the distant space the Master and his twenty loyal followers were watching everything that Jimmy was doing. The Master was extremely pleased with Jimmy's conviction.

He found that Jimmy was a daring person. And he has the attitude for becoming a righteous king. The Master gave his ratings that Jimmy will definitely reach the top of the cultivation world.

The truth is that the mastermind behind all this strange happenings felt by everyone from the Emperor's sudden decision to conduct the National Cultivators Tournament is all due to the decision made by the Master. And the only reason why the master made this decision is to see Jimmy's combat level.

Combat level is not the only reason. The master wanted to see how Jimmy handles the situations in every difficult scenario. And hence, under his orders, this competition was conducted much ahead of its actual schedule.

"Master! Your idea has worked out. We found the Life Realm in the Chaos World. And what is so strange is that, even after searching the minds of the locals over there, we couldn't find anyone with the name Jimmy. But Jimmy here has a team which registered under the name of Star Moon Team. And we found that the hegemony in the Life Realm is actually none other than the Star Moon Empire!" ,Blue reported.

Master nodded his head and then said, "Hmm. It looks like the Void has put a lot of efforts and hopes on this Jimmy. He even altered the memories in order to protect Jimmy."

"Then what should we do now, Master?" ,Blue asked.

Master said, "Even if we search the memories of each and every person in the entire Life Realm, we won't be able to find Jimmy's true body. But there is only one way left for us. Search the memories of the Life Realm's core. This is the only way through which we can find Jimmy's true body. My instincts are telling me that Jimmy's true body is no longer in the Life Realm. He might be in any other higher realms."

"Excellent idea, Master!" ,Blue said, "I will do exactly as you ordered us to."

"Hmm." ,Master said, "But for now, enjoy the show from the kids. I am excited to see how Jimmy will handle this situation."

"How about we arrange for the Red Colour Monster to meet Jimmy, Master?" ,Red asked in a curious tone, "With thus we could find his true potential very early."

"No. Give him freedom to do whatever he can." , Master said, "I want to see him participate in the competition for the rest of the six months. I want to see how he handles every situation by himself."

——

As they were walking towards the portals, the tension within every contestant started to grow. The number of teams who were participating in the preliminaries through the Combat method were a lot lesser than the one who were participating in the preliminaries through the Lifestyle means.

Jimmy found himself standing on a tree as soon as he entered through the portal. And there were no one around him.

Woooof!!!

Jimmy immediately heard the sound of some wolfs. Jimmy calmed himself down. This was the lesson he learned since his experience in the Maze Palace back in Life Realm. He took a deep breath and started to look around.

Jimmy was getting updates about the situation in the War Realm from Arjun. Arjun told him about the Blind Combat in the Mind Palace. As of now, he wasn't receiving any updates from Arjun. Because at this timeline, Arjun was in the closed door seclusion trying to attempt to learn his first Greater Dao Art. That is Greater Dao of Wood!

This is one of the reason why Jimmy chose Wood as his second element in this tournament. He wants to get as much experience as possible on the Wood Element. Because he knew that once Arjun comes out from his closed door seclusion, he will definitely share about his experience and insights on the Greater Dao of Wood. And when that time comes, Jimmy wants to get familiarise with the Wood Element. So that when he received all the Arjun's experience, it will become easy for him to master the Greater Dao of Wood as well.

And blind combat technique is one of Arjun's experiences which was received by Jimmy in the form of updates. Jimmy was intrigued and started to train in the Blind Combat Technique for the past six months. He didn't even attempt to learn any more Dao Arts as he knew that given the time limit he had, mastering any Dao is impossible in such a short time.

He could attempt to learn from Grand Dao only for the tournament. But Jimmy and Arjun are one to begin with. Just like Arjun, Jimmy will never like to taste any half power. If he is going to master any Dao Arts, then it will be on the Greater Dao. He said his goodbyes to the Grand Dao a long time ago.

Coming to the point, Jimmy worked truly hard on the Blind Combat Technique continuously for the past six months. He was training in his Origin Energy. He wanted to train in his senses rather than improving his Void Qi.

So this is the reason why he is not using his Yin-Yan Eyes. He trained in his senses. He wanted an opportunity to implement everything he learned for the past six months in the tournament.

Jimmy closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on every sounds made by his target. And very soon he heard the footsteps coming in non sequential order.

Jimmy landed on the ground. He didn't open his eyes as he was concentrating entirely on his target. As he was steady and concentrating, the sound of the footsteps started to increase. And very soon Arjun started to hear the sound of a monster.

Jimmy opened his eyes and found that it was an ordinary wolf whose body's colour was Violet colour.

Jimmy sighed. He wanted a strong opponent to check his power level. But what he got in return is a small monster with no threat at all.

Jimmy didn't care to waste his physical strength on a small monster like this. He closed his eyes and then opened it. An invisible force came out from his eyes and hit the monster very hardly.

The monster which was growling at Arjun fell down on the ground and died. Jimmy sighed. He knew that a weak willed monster like this is not going to stand under the affect of the Soul Shaking Art!
