Afterward, Jerrold stepped out of the hall, accompanied by Zachary and Susie. Then they went straight outside by passing through the courtyard before proceeding out into the road until they reached the village center, where Zachary saw a square right in the middle of it. Although its size was not as spacious as the Heavenly Cloud Square, it was already packed. More than a few hundred people had already gathered around it, and all of them were warriors of extraordinary strength. It was such a vibrant scene to watch.

"Here we go, guys! Here they come!" At this point, the sight of Jerrold approaching, with Zachary and Susie following closely behind, stirred these warriors' excitement all over the square.

The three of them made their entrance in full view of everyone. Their eyes caught sight of an old man standing right in the center, and he was donning a green robe that was somewhat unconventional.

"Jerrold, stop acting so indecisively. Whether you accept the challenge or not, I need you to hand over the manual of the Nine-diagram Weapon-refining Skill to me. If you do so, then I promise you we won't cross paths again in the future. Otherwise, I won't stop making you feel anxious!" Kingston was a ruthless guy, as to be expected of his character. He was doing an even better job of being unashamed in front of so many people by demanding Jerrold to give the said manual to him. He tried to pressure Jerrold by making a threat to his position in the Dignified Supernal Village.

On the other hand, Jerrold would certainly refuse to hand over the manual of the Nine-diagram Weapon-refining Skill to him. But if he didn't do this, Jerrold was afraid that he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life for the rest of his life.

"Jerrold, why don't you let me try it instead?" Zachary offered to put himself up after a moment's hesitation.
