Chapter 128

Mabel spoke again. “However, among all these people, I like you the most. Do you know why?”

Jonathan rubbed his nose and said, “Because I'm the most handsome!”

She snickered. “Can you stop being so shameless? You may not be ugly, but you're not morehandsome than Leonardo, Lucian, or Braxton.”

He couldn't refute that point. Regardless of whether it was Leonardo, Lucian, or Braxton, they wereindeed more handsome and more monstrous than the last.

A sigh escaped his mouth.

“I like you the most for several reasons.” She continued, “Number one, and this is the most importantone. We tend to describe an excellent person as a gentleman—emphasis on the 'gentle' part. Without adoubt, when compared to them, you are the most honest, upright, kind, and gentle one. Leonardo israther cold as he doesn't care about other people. He's also pretty perverted since he loves his ownaunt. I'm not going to comment anymore about his private matter. As for Lucian, he's an egotisticalman. He was scolded by his grandfather, Peacock King, a lot when he was young. Thus, he grew up tobe someone with an obsession with surpassing his grandfather's accomplishments. His sense of rightand wrong is blurry at best. As for Braxton...” There was a pause before she said, “He's Jetroinian.Nothing much needs to be said about that.”

Jonathan smiled bitterly. “Being described as upright and kind feels like an insult in this day and age.”

“It's impossible to avoid gossip, rumors, and the like in life. A wise man has no need to care what astupid man says. Even if you donate money or do charity work, there will always be an idiot saying that

you're virtue signaling.”

He agreed with Mabel's point of view. The path was his to walk. There was no reason to change it forsomeone else.

Just like the real estate fiasco from many years ago. Those who had the money to buy a housebelieved the lie, and at present, they couldn't afford to do the same anymore. They didn't want to listento the advice given to them. When the famous real estate tycoon said the price was going to rise,everyone ignored him. In the end, the people who believed him got rich, and those who called his bluffall lost.

There were even some that said buying a property a year later meant thirty fewer working years, andyet they still bought a few properties themselves.

Of course, since the real estate prices had gone limp at the moment, it wasn't suitable for investmentanymore. All people needed was their own place to live. Moreover, if they had the ability to buy it, theywouldn't need to think that much.

Mabel continued, “The first reason is that I like you and your character. Of course, this is also becauseyou're the Chosen One. If you didn't have the luck, I couldn't have cared less about you. The secondthing is your ability. Your cultivation may still be lacking right now, but your potential is limitless. Onceyou cross the gap right in front of you, you'll be able to win against Leonardo and the others.”

Jonathan was slightly shocked. “Why do you think that way?” He didn't even think that highly of himself,even though he tended to see himself as a pretty awesome person. Compared to Leonardo and theothers, he wasn't confident he could be stronger than them by a mile.

After all, he still couldn't comprehend Nascent Soul.

“Do you know why they can achieve Nascent Soul but you can't?” She smirked.

“If I knew, I wouldn't be struggling right now.”

“You can't see your faults, but I can. Leonardo and Lucian have a clear but narrow goal. They want tomaster Destino Art, and they want to be stronger.”

“I don't even know what I want. Does this mean I'm worse?”

“What's the most powerful thing in the world?”

Jonathan was a little confused. “What?”

Instead of directly answering the question, Mabel said, “I'm sure you know how destructive thedisasters caused by fire and water are, right? And yet, those two things are inseparable from humanlife. They don't have a fixed form and can do whatever they want, just like you. Get it?”

He smiled bitterly. “If I didn't know you any better, I would think you're a charlatan. A man with noambition like myself can even be criticized to hell and back by you.”

Mabe rolled her eyes at him. “You may not have ambition, but you're not ordinary. Do you really thinkyou're ordinary? Do you believe you have no ideals at all?”

He thought for a while before saying, “I don't think I have any ideals.”

“Then you should give it more thought. You always have your own fixed principles. When you seeinjustice, you will interfere; when you see the people around you getting hurt, you will interfere. It's thesame thing as when Jennifer and Yasmin were bullied. You can't stand by and watch them suffer.”

“Isn't that just normal?” He retorted depressingly, “As a man, I can't just stand at the side while myfamily and friends are in a tough spot!”

“But there are very few people like you who'll jump into the fire to save others, even though you knowyou'll be in danger.”

“I still don't understand what you're trying to say. What exactly are you trying to tell me?”

She was getting a little annoyed. “Just give it some thought. Recall what it was like when you werealmost killed by Yasir in the coffee house. If Amber hadn't arrived to save you, you would already bedead. That day, when you were chased by Yasir on the highway, if it weren't for Edward's call, youwould've been dead. Also, try to remember the time when Lucian almost killed you in one punch backin the ring. If you don't have your breakthrough today, you'll die tomorrow. Think about that. Your friendsand family will be sad. Jennifer will be sleeping with another man. Can you really endure this? Youwant to be strong, but for what? Lucian wants to defeat his grandfather while Leonardo wants to be sostrong that no one in this world can stop him from marrying his aunt. What about you?”

It was then inspiration flashed across Jonathan's mind, as though he was just waking up from hisstupor.

He fell silent as a burning light shone in his eyes.

A passage he saw before entered his mind. I think the passage was... I have a dream that when I wantto fly, the sky will open its roads for me. When I dive into the sea, it'll split apart for me. Gods andgoddesses will greet me as a friend when they see me. I'll be as free as a leaf in the wind. Nothing willbe able to tie me down, and no one will be able to stop me. There will be no place that I can't go,nothing I can do, and no victory I can't achieve.

Suddenly, he felt his body filled with joy because he finally understood, at that moment, what he shoulddo. I don't want to be the best or a god. I want to be free! Free of anyone's bullying! If the heavens wantto squash me, I want the ability to split it open. If the earth wants to chain me down, I want to be able tobreak it apart! I want to be the freest man in the whole world! What I want isn't to be a god, but to be anunshackled monkey in the wild, doing whatever I please whenever I want it.

An empyrean light burst out of his eyes. At that moment, he had finally achieved his breakthrough.

The vitality in his body began to surge and swirl like a leaf in a tornado.

Even though he was sitting motionlessly, he could feel the power coursing through his veins.

Finally, Jonathan had become a true Nascent Soul expert.

He had jumped over the gap and transformed into an immortal.

Once the process ended, Mabel let out a deep breath of relief. A look of ease flashed past Mabel'seyes. I knew I didn't pick the wrong guy.

He abruptly jumped down and sat cross-legged.

At that moment, the vitality in him had twisted into a rope. All the vitality in his body was instantlyconcentrated in the Nascent Soul. The explosive strength of a Nascent Soul was terrifying. It wouldallow him to punch with the force of one thousand kilograms instantly.

His vitality could disperse and coalesce whenever he wanted.

With that, he began to heal his body. His organs healed rapidly thanks to his vitality.

An hour later, all his wounds were gone, and his life force had reached its peak. Even the grass aroundhim could feel his lively spirit and cheer for him, metaphorically.

Jonathan began to reform his vitality.

As a Nascent Soul expert, vigor flowed freely in his body. Vigor was an incredible thing as it was theresult of mastery over the vitality in one's own body.

In the eyes of an outsider, they would think vigor was spirit. An ability like crushing rocks with one'sown chest relied on vigor. A street performer simply held their spirit in their chest to do that.

On the other hand, vigor could prevent any damage from average weapons from hurting him easily asa Nascent Soul expert.

Of course, if the weapons were used by experts who coated it with their Force, then vigor wouldn't beable to block the attack.

An hour later, the process was over. When he stood up, he felt invincible. It was all thanks to the

flowing vigor in his body.

Needless to say, Jonathan was overjoyed. He had finally reached the legendary level of Nascent Soul,which meant that there was no need for him to look up to Leonardo and the others anymore.

His fear of Yasir had also decreased significantly.

Of course, there was still a gap between him, Yasir, and Jareth.

That was because Jareth had achieved middle-stage Nascent Soul. A single punch from him packedthe strength of more than one thousand kilograms.

Yasir, who had achieved late-stage Nascent Soul, could unleash fifteen hundred kilograms worth offorce.

Lastly, Edward was rumored to have gone beyond Nascent Soul and had achieved the legendaryCelestial Soul.

Jonathan used to have no idea what Celestial Soul was like. However, after achieving the level ofNascent Soul, he began to have ideas about what Celestial Soul was like.

Celestial Soul was the ability to gather spirit and unlock the mind's potential. It would allow vitality torush into the brain and increase a person's intelligence. With that newfound intelligence, the user wouldbe able to further improve the vitality in their body.

The cycle would continue on and on until there was no weakness left in the person's body. They wouldbe able to comprehend the magnetic field of the planet and could absorb the true essence of the world.

It was an unimaginable cultivation stage.

That cultivation stage was quite similar to how Gabriel described it to be.

Gabriel could understand the principles, but his body couldn't keep up with the cultivation. Thecultivation stage Edward was in basically meant both his mind and body had evolved to the same level.
