Chapter 951 Praise
Jared still had a long way to go before he could annihilate the Deragons and rescue his mother.
To make matters worse, the Deragons were very powerful in Jadeborough, and their connections were complicated.
They carried a lot of weight even in the Warriors Alliance. If Jared wanted to go against the Deragons, it would
mean going up against the entire martial arts world in Jadeborough.
After the five guardians left, only Ryker and a few elders from the Deragons remained. There was no way Godrick
would dare to do anything, and he certainly had no right to.
“Mr. Deragon, if there is nothing else, I’ll go and get ready.”
Godrick could not stand the pressure and wanted to leave.
“Hold on.” Ryker continued, “Godrick, which level are you at right now?”

pretty confident that I will achieve a breakthrough and become a Fourth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster once the
Trial has ended,” replied Godrick with confidence.
“Becoming a Fourth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster at your age is quite impressive,” praised Ryker.
Godrick’s face was beaming with pride when he said, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Deragon!”
It was a rare thing for Ryker to praise anybody including his own son, Edgar.
“Don’t thank me just yet. Given your current capability, will you be able to capture Jared alive if you bump into
him?” asked Ryker bluntly.
Godrick froze before shaking his head. “Mr. Deragon, I won’t be able to do that. Since Jared was able to kill Ichiro,
his level must be higher than mine.”
Godrick was an honest man who would not conceal his own inadequacies. Truth be told, his abilities were nowhere
close to that of Jared.
“My biggest worry is that you may lose your life in the Trial given your capabilities and gain nothing in return,” said
Ryker worriedly.
When Godrick heard that, his heart almost stopped. He knew he might lose that golden opportunity.
“Mr. Deragon, for the Deragons, I’m willing to sacrifice everything, including my life.”
Godrick started to make promises.
Seeing Godrick’s expression, Ryker consoled him, “There’s no need to be so agitated, Godrick. I will still send you to
the Trial, but I have also asked Edgar to return. When the time comes, the two of you will participate in the Trial with
your respective teams.”
Godrick was disappointed when he heard that, but there was no way he could turn the offer down. As far as the
Deragons were concerned, he was just one of the many descendants. In fact, in the eyes of the higher-ups, he was
nothing.
Regardless, Godrick was also secretly relieved. Although this meant that Edgar had become the main focus of the
Trial, at least he was still able to tag along. Right now, what Godrick needed was the opportunity.

He dared not show an ounce of displeasure on his face.
“All right then. Go get ready.”
With that, Ryker dismissed him.
The moment Godrick walked away, the humble demeanor on his face was replaced with a cold and vicious
expression.
As one of the younger generations of the Deragons, Godrick had attained the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster
with limited cultivation resources. He had been striving hard so that one day, he might become the head of the
Deragons. With that, no one would ever look down on him again.
Currently, his status was no better than that of a servant. He had to watch what he did and said. Any wrong move
would infuriate Ryker, and he could be ruined.
Godrick was well aware of how Ryker became the head of the family. He reckoned if he could hold on long enough,
it would only be a matter of time before he would take over Ryker’s position.
