Supreme Harem Hunter

Chapter 168 A Greater Height



Chapter 168 A Greater Height

Jack, who was watching it from afar, couldn't help but say it in his heart. 'Ban, please don't do something stupid.'

He was extremely worried about him, as he knew Band had zero chance against Gale; at this rate, he would be just inviting his death.

Gyuki's voice suddenly changed, trying to comfort Jack. 'You do not have to worry. This Gale…he doesn't seem like someone who would kill for no reason. I have seen and met many people in my life, so I can identify someone's personality with just a glance.'

Jack's face turned weird. He asked with doubt. 'Are you telling the truth, master? If it is true, then you wouldn't have just died like that.'

Jack was then met with silence, which didn't last long as Gyuki's scolding came shortly after. 'You filial student! This is what you are treating me with? You forgot the things I did for you?'

'Uhhhh….I am sorry, master.' Jack quickly started apologizing in his face, and from outside, his face appeared to be like that of a monk in deep prayer.

This made Jack completely aware of the situation his friend was in and the anxiety too.

On the other hand, Yuki and Freya, who were also watching from the side, had some discussion of their own.

Freya asked with concern. "Should we go and try to save him? We might not be close, but we spent some time together."

To Freya's question, Yuki just shrugged his shoulders. "Nah, it is their personal matter, we can't barge in like that. Also, I don't care much. But…if you do, then feel free to try."

"Hmph." Freya pouted when she saw Yuki say such a thing to her. She decided she should also tease him, or he would always be on her side. "I thought you were a fighting enthusiast. But it seemed like it was all a lie or you were just…scared."

Hearing that and seeing the smirk on Freya's face, finally broke Yuki's calm demeanor. "No, you are wrong. I am just waiting for them to finish their drama. You see, that Gale guy is actually my friend. He would fight me anytime if I asked, and he would stop this drama if I asked too. The reason I am not doing it is because I am respecting his space."

"Heh? Yeah, preach as much as you want." However, Freya shrugged off Yuki's words, thinking he was bragging.

This made Yuki's face darken. 'This girl… she always gives me a headache.'

Moving from these tidbit moments, we could finally focus on the main situation.

"Why didn't you save the town from the very beginning?"

Hearing this question from Ban broadened the smile on Gale's face. He asked. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes." Ban gave a straightforward answer.

"Well, I just don't care." Gale's answer didn't make Ban show any kind of reaction, it was as if he wasn't satisfied. This irked Gale's heart more, as he wanted to see how much more he could push this boy. "Let me explain a bit more to you, buddy."

"Tell me, will you care about an object or place that you didn't care about in the first place? No, you won't. But if you say, yes, then you are wrong. We always thrive on finding greater things and reaching greater heights. We have to leave the place we came from, as those won't suit us after we achieve greater success." Gale somehow forgot that he was in front of some stranger, and he had vowed he wouldn't care about strangers from now on, but for some reason he started teaching Ban as if he were a close junior of his, which Gale completely forgot.

"I can see that you are rebuking me by saying that those people would still come back for their homeland, dear ones, and most beloved objects, maybe. But that is only for personal benefit. They are here to grow their forces or to stay hidden in quiet places, just because they have a favorable impression, not attachment."

Coming to this point, Gale's face turned stern, and he said, glaring at Ban as if warning him or waking him up. "If you love your brother so much, then get stronger, stronger, to the point where you stand toe to toe with immortals."

All of a sudden, a smirk appeared on his face again. He said it softly, as if trying to imitate the devil's whisper. "You know, immortals can bring people back from the dead."

This widened not only Ban's eyes but everyone's. Many people had lost their dear ones with the passage of time, they wanted to connect with them more than anyone. So, Gale's words brought shock to everyone and lit up their fiery passion for cultivation. They were from a small and rural place, and for this reason, they lacked much knowledge about the world. The only reason they believe it is because of his strength and how mysterious and unknown he still is to them, despite being from their town.

This has brought passion into a lot of people's hearts. One of them was Vik, who still felt guilty about his teacher's death and how regretful he was. He might have been in the White Jade Sect, a big force for many in the surroundings, but that was still small compared to the sheer scope of this world.

'Immortal…' Vik pondered deeply. 'I guess I have to leave this place as fast as possible. I do not know if what he said is true or not, but those powerhouses at the top can do things beyond normal, according to cultivators. So, he might not be wrong, I still have to explore the world to find a way to bring my master back.'

Meanwhile, Kaley was thinking of her mother. 'Can I bring my mother back? If so, then I will ask for Gale's help. I want him to show the way to immortality.'

Jasmine also had some thoughts of her own. 'So, we can bring Madam back again…I hope Gale will do it when he truly achieves this immortality.'

Many also had their own thoughts, but they were all hidden. But this didn't hide the passion for cultivation that was buried in their heart to fire back up.

Ban looked at Gale with shock and asked for confirmation. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Buddy," Gale answered calmly, patting his shoulders. "People can fly in the sky just by cultivating for a small amount of time. Can you dare to imagine when someone has cultivated for thousands of years, reaching a height in cultivation that we could only dare to fathom?"

Gale's words made Ban gulp his saliva inwardly. "I am sorry for my behavior. I was acting out of my mind. It is people's choice what they want to do. But, thank you for the teaching. I can see we are of the same age, and I do want to spar with you. However, I am weak, so can you promise me that you will spar with me when I confidently throw a challenge?'

"Sure, sure." Gale answered with a smirk. "Anyway, we will take our leave."

Gale turned around and left the place. He wanted to stay at Julie's place for the time being before coming up with a goal.

Jack, who was watching Gale leave, asked Gyuki. 'Master, what he said…is it true?'

Gyuki went silent for a second before answering. 'I am sorry, kid. Even I do not have a correct answer for that.'

'Truth be told, I may have lived a long life and of high prestige. I am not trying to brag, but I was someone close to the upper echelon of the cultivation realm. I was able to see what those guys were able to do. So, what that little friend said might not be far from the truth.' Gyuki finished with a sigh, and some admiration could be heard fluttering out of those words.

However, that was enough to shatter Jack's goal and create a new one, something that he would not even have dreamed of in his life if he hadn't met with his master, Gyuki. 'Master, I want to be immortal. I want everyone to know me as the Peerless Sword Immortal!'

'Hahahha…kid, that is such a bold claim.' A hearty laughter escaped from Gyuki's mouth. A child's side and a heart full of passion that he possessed sprung out, making him say. 'Kid, quickly find a way to make me walk with a physical body. Then I will teach you for your arrogance and that bold claim of yours.'

'Hehehe…master, we will see.' Jack chuckled back, having fun chatting with his master for the first time.

On the other hand, Yuki was taking Freya to meet up with Gale. No, that was wrong. Yuki was going to meet up with Gale, and Freya was tagging along with him without his permission.

"Why are you coming with me? Also, what do you want to do with Gale?" Yuki couldn't contain himself and had to eventually ask.

Freya, who was beside, said proudly. "I am not going to see Gale, I am going for his wives. I want to take advice from them and maybe spar too. You know they are the strongest women in our town."
