Cursed Immortality



Closer to the western shorelines of the Epic Alive Plains, because of the radioactive mist, no one dares or wants to wander around the ocean anymore.

But if anyone were present, they would've been shocked because a massive whirlpool within the raging ocean had suddenly emerged a few hours ago, and for some reason, it kept growing!

Right now, it was around five hundred meters wide, and the green mist above it was also turning into a whirlwind.

However, the most shocking thing was at a depth of over 200 meters, a naked person was sitting cross-legged, and he was at the epicenter of the whirlpool. But not only was he not being effective in the least bit, his body and his skin seemed to be covered with ocean blue sheen.

It was Jacob who had been under the water meditation for over 24 hours and under 240-G force!

When Jacob starts the water meditation, he only does it for the sole purpose of either squashing the poison out of his body with water pressure and oxygen continuing to pump into his body or at least lessening the effect to buy him more time.

But to Jacob's surprise, as the hours passed, more pressure started to build, more and more oxygen started to gush into his body, and he felt the poison in his body slowly starting to lose effect.

However, when he hit the 12th hour, a strange phenomenon occurred. All of a sudden, he felt suffocated, and the reason for it was the clothes and armor he was wearing!

Jacob quickly reacted and stowed away all the clothes, even his armor, into the pendant, and only then he felt that suffocating feeling goes away. But what happened next was what truly shocked him.

Because this time, including oxygen, another thing started to seep into his body which was icy, and he knew it was hydrogen. When both element energies entered his body, he visibly felt the poison elimination become even faster.

As time passed, Jacob's pain, exhaustion, and anxiety started to fade away, and his mind was immersed in a strange state where he felt extremely comfortable. Moreover, the more he meditates, the pressure or urge to breathe becomes distant from him.

Now 24 hours had passed, and Jacob was now completely immersed in meditation, fully unaware of the ocean blue sheen or the massive whirlpool around him. Furthermore, right now, two types of energies have changed into only one comfortable energy, which was strongly coursing through his body.

Lastly, almost all his injuries, scars, skin, and hair has been mended, and Jacob was completely unaware of it.

At this moment, when he crossed the 24-hour threshold, a distant memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Within an office, a stern old man wearing a black suit was looking at young Jacob in his early twenties wearing a casual outfit, and another handsome blond hair young man wearing a white attire.

The old man looked at the young man in white, who had this peculiar smile on his handsome face, and spoke, "Sir, Leon, are you sure you want your friend to join the Underground Fighting Arena? Since he's your friend, I don't need to tell you the risks involved in this. Even his life will be in danger."

The young man named Leon chuckled as he replied casually, "Don't worry, Mr. V, my friend here knows the risks, and you might not believe it, but he's a very talented fighter. It's just that he's a little bit rough. You could say he's a diamond in the rough despite his age.

"Furthermore, he's a stubborn fellow, and despite me offering my help, he won't take it. So, I have no other choice but to take him here. With your establishment, not only can he raise some cash, but I'm also hoping that you can take him as your Martial Student and teach him proper techniques and see how much he can learn."

Mr. V's old eyes narrowed slightly as a strange glint flashed past his eyes, and he glanced at Jacob, who was silent this whole time and wore a solemn expression, and he looked at Leon again.

"It seems you have finally found a worthy friend Sir Leon. But despite my respect for your family and your grandfather, I can't just take anyone as a student. How about this, if your friend can win ten straight fights in the arena, not only will I teach him martial arts but also my Deceptive Swords Style if he's as talented as you claimed him to be." Mr. V declared.

Leon's smile didn't vanish but instead widened as if he was expecting it and then looked at Jacob, who had this determined look in his eyes, "What do you think, bro Jack? Mr. V here is a hidden master who is one of the top five fighters in our country, and if you can learn from him, you'll be able to become a force to be reckoned with.

"But I'm warning you, this will greatly disturb your studies in the University, and you might not even be alive to repay your debt. So, I'm asking you again to take my help and repay me when you can. You should know money is merely a number for me."

Jacob looked at Leon, and he was really moved, but still, the determined look in his eyes didn't vanish, and he said, "I'm very grateful for your help Leon, but you know me, I won't take it unless I exhaust all my options. You have already done me a huge favor to introduce me to this, Sir, and I won't lose face for you."

Then he looked at Mr. V, who was calmly looking at him with a peculiar glint in his eyes, and Jacob said, "Thank you for giving me this chance. From my childhood, I always wanted to learn the art of martial arts, but my circumstances were not optimal for it.

"Nevertheless, I have learned by watching some documentaries, and I have never failed in doing what I wanted, so please arrange the fights. I want to complete them all in 30 days!"

Leon was smiling on the side while Mr. V couldn't help but look at Jacob deeply before his lips rose a little, and he said, "Then let's see what you got, little punk!"
