The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7475

Just then, Youcef coughed up a mouthful of blood and awoke from the mental battle.

"The amount of murderous energy and his skills... How did you do that?"

Thea and Yaretzi, who had been staring at the space where the young men were, widened their eyes. During mental battles, the person who was injured and regained consciousness first was the loser.

It appeared Youcef, whose cultivation rank was higher than Jacopo's by almost an entire rank, had lost.

Moreover, it sounded like a clear-cut loss.

Opposite Youcef, Jacopo slowly lifted his head.

His hair swayed gently even though there was no wind.

Blood oozed from the corner of Jacopo's mouth.

He had obviously sustained injuries as well during the mental battle, but he was in much better condition than Youcef.

He said calmly, "The Marciais Path's focus is on being quick to overwhelm your opponent.

The murderous energy comes naturally when one learns to differentiate between good and evil."

Youcef was momentarily stunned as he had a dawning realization.

As Jacopo's words echoed in his mind, Youcef thought about past incidents and began to understand a few things.

He placed one hand over his chest and bowed slightly.

"I lost. You're much wiser and more knowledgeable than I am.I still have a lot to learn."

Upon hearing those words, Yaretzi stumbled a few steps backward as she felt her legs go weak.

Luckily, Thea caught her by the arm and prevented her from falling.

"It was just a spar between youngsters."

Thea tried to calm Yaretzi down.

"You shouldn't get overly concerned about it."

"No.I'm not bothered that he's lost."

Yaretzi smiled broadly.

"On the contrary, I'm happy and proud that he's found new enlightenment."

Yaretzi gripped Thea's arms and cried happy tears.

"He's fundamentally different from his father Although he's obsessed with enhancing his powers, Jacopo is rational and capable of discerning right from wrong.I can finally feel more at ease."

Thea smiled and nodded.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Meanwhile, Jacopo had gotten to his feet and helped Youcef up.

"Youcef, you are the strongest opponent I have ever encountered and have the most respect for.Our battle just now pretty much ended in a tie.If possible, we should find a suitable time and location for an all-out fight. What do you think?"

Youcef smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Our battle ending in a tie means I've indisputably lost.I started training on my cultivation earlier than you, and I have higher cultivation than you at the moment."

"Why dwell on minor details like that?" Jacopo replied.

"Skills and techniques are all

external things, whereas the matters of the Path rest in a person's heart A person's mastery of the Path lies in their understanding of the relevant knowledge, not in how great their cultivation is."

Youcef raised his head and stared at Jacopo with wide eyes.

Suddenly, he got down on one knee and bowed slightly.

“I'm extremely thankful for your help and advice."

"You didn't have to kneel."

Jacopo helped him up once more.

"You and I get along. We should be friends."

He extended his hand toward Youcef.

Youcef paused briefly before clutching Jacopo's hand tightly.

It was the first time these two young men, who were well-known across the Jademora Empire, saw eye to eye.

Thea and Yaretzi had big smiles on their faces at the sight of the youngsters shaking hands.

Meanwhile, James and Yianni exchanged a glance and smiled faintly.

After all, finding a friend that you could talk to and who would try to understand you was something that could be hard to come by.
