The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 801 What Secrets Laid Within This Body?

Inspiration?!

Mr. Ward and Brent stared at Jack with their eyes wide open in awe as if they were looking at a weird

creature. The ability to control and shift one’s muscles was a martial arts skill that very few could attain. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

It was a means of changing the dynamics of a fight. It was a skill that enabled a fighter to have an

outburst of energy during a fight.

However, it did not mean that a fighter would only master this skill when he had reached a bottleneck of

his skills. A highly skilled fighter would endeavor to master the skill of controlling his muscles but this

skill could only be accumulated over experiences.

Whether it was due to having a breakthrough or a supremely skilled fighter, this skill had to be built up

over time. It had to be trained and perfected over time and in a way that suited the fighter.

It was also possible to suddenly have inspiration during a fight when the body was in an elevated state

of consciousness. But something like controlling and shifting one’s muscles…

This was the first time any of them had heard that someone could control and shift his muscles through

inspiration during a fight! A skill that took others years to master and accumulate was attained by Jack

in a moment of inspiration?

“Master… you really can boast.” Brent heaved a sigh in disbelief.

He was able to perform the “Python devours Dragon” move by controlling and shifting his muscles on

his lower back. His ability to control and shift his lower back muscles had already surpassed countless

fighters. Brent was aware of how much effort and time he spent to master this skill.

Putting aside humility, Brent did not train Jack on this skill of controlling and shifting his muscles

because he did not think that Jack was ready for it. Brent felt that Jack was still not ready for it as firstly,

Jack had not reached a stage where he needed a breakthrough, and secondly, Jack had not reached

the level of mastery.

But now… Jack was able to attain the skill through inspiration?!

“I did not boast.” Jack retorted sternly at Brent and continued, “It was so sudden. I had to counter the

camouflage arts of Iga by closing my eyes and using my sense of hearing to affix his position.

However, Iga retaliated by the blinding light. At that moment, my eyes were white-out and barely made

out the image of his sword thrusting towards me. It was instinct that allowed me to dodge death and

shifted my left shoulder to take the impact of the sword.”

Dodged death by instinct?

Jack heaved a sigh of relief but it sounded like an explosion in Brent and Mr. Ward’s ears till their ears

hurt and their hearts rattled. A wave of emotions overcame them and they took a deep breath to calm

down.

Suddenly Brent’s eyes lit up and asked Jack with surprise, “Hang on. Did you say that the corridor was

dark when Daisy and I came up? No no, what I meant was, did you fight in the dark with Iga and you

only used your sense of hearing to fight with him?” The corridor was totally dark when Daisy and Brent

rushed to that floor.

Brent and Daisy did not think much of it as they assumed that the corridor had gradually gone dark

during the fight. But now that Jack had related the situation, he suddenly picked up on this anomaly.

“Not totally. Initially, Iga did not shatter all the lights but as the fight progressed, he plunged the corridor

into darkness so that he could enhance the lethal effects of his ninja arts.”

Jack pointed to the wound on his leg and said, “I received several beatings before I was forced to use

my hearing to counter-attack.”

“Gosh…!” Brent could not help but exclaim. A top mercenary who was used to seeing a bloody

battlefield was startled by what Jack said. Jack had been trained under Brent. Brent had never

considered training Jack in this aspect. That meant that Jack had never received training on controlling

and shifting his muscles. But now he mastered this skill through inspiration? Two inspirations in a fight

that led to the mastering of two separate skills? Was that possible?

Mr. Ward was dumbfounded. Although Mr. Ward was in the room during the fight, he could appreciate

what was happening in the corridor. Mr. Ward looked at Jack with a flurry of mixed emotions. There

was admiration, comfort, agitation, and bewilderment…

‘I’ve never seen a person as talented as Master. It is incomprehensible for his rate of growth and

development.’ Mr. Ward thought.

He was Jack’s servant and he was an elder to Jack and was happy that Jack’s rapid progress meant

that he could secure his position as the head of the family. This was the very reason why Patrick sent

Mr. Ward to guide Jack. But even as Mr. Ward witnessed personally Jack’s rapid growth, he still felt that

the growth was extraordinary.

Several seconds went by and Jack felt very uneasy under the stares of Brent and Mr. Ward. Jack

lowered his head, pursed his lips, and remarked, “Actually… I’m also starting to question myself and

my body.” Jack spoke with a heavy heart.

It was not the first time he doubted himself. This world had never been short of geniuses. Ever since he

was a child, Jack had never regarded himself as a genius. At that time, he was nowhere close to being

a genius. But over this year, he was surprised with his progress. His body had continually surprised

himself!

Mr. Ward and Brent started to look at Jack silently from head to toe after they heard what Jack said.

Both of them were equally dumbfounded by Jack’s abilities. His rapid progress was practically

superhuman.

Jack’s rapid progress was all due to his superhuman body but what other secrets laid within his body?

“Master, had you experienced any traumatic experiences during your childhood years? Was there

anything extraordinary that happened?” Brent asked solemnly.

“What do you mean?” Jack seemed puzzled.

Brent shrugged and said, “Perhaps the mystery lies within. Otherwise, you should be considered as a

savant. When I started to train you, though your rate of progress was alarmingly fast, it was nothing

compared to what you can do now.”

Jack pondered deeply, frowned, and seemed to be lost in his thoughts…
