I Am Unstoppable novel

Simon could have killed Lesley, but he had held back.

Moreover, Simon didn't use his golden brass knuckles. He probably realized that it was futile to use poison, which was why he applied force into Lesley's body through his punches. The powerful impact had wounded Lesley's internal organs.

Right then and there, Lesley's injuries were more serious than Elijah's.

This meant that Jonathan had to take care of two injured members at that point, as well as a clueless Catherine.

In other words, he was in a dreadful state.

Meanwhile, the chase was still ongoing in the forest.

It was Simon chasing after James.

James was running at full speed, but Simon was getting closer.

In the end, James had nowhere to escape and leaned against a tree. He looked at Simon in terror as the latter inched closer to him.

James couldn't help but shudder. His forehead was beaded with sweat. “Simon, you know that I'm on your side, right? Don't kill me. | will find a way to help you finish Jonathan and the rest of-" Before James could finish his words, Simon suddenly closed in on him. Stretching out two fingers, Simon directly pierced James' eyes.

The energy from his fingers completely destroyed James' brain, and the latter died on the spot.

Even after James breathed his last breath, James could not put his finger on how Simon had figured out his scheme.

Another thing that James didn't know was that Simon had him marked with a mysterious herb earlier. Simon would be able to smell the scent of that herb within ten miles.

After all, James was a boy who lived a sheltered life in a prominent family. He indeed had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, but all his plans were too idealistic.

Hence, Simon had never taken James seriously.

It was akin to an adult watching a child kick up a fuss.

Night fell gradually.

There was a drop in temperature at the beach.

The temperature was higher during the day while it was colder at night.

Thanks to Simon's sudden attack, Jonathan didn't put Lesley and Elijah in the water to beat the heat.

Instead, Jonathan made a small shelter out of branches.

If Elijah and Lesley were placed in water, it would surely be a disaster for them when the cold night fell.

Jonathan found a place and scraped off the sand on the surface. Only then did he realize that the sand inside was still warm. Jonathan then asked Elijah and Lesley to lie down. As soon as they lay on the sand, they felt much better.

Elijah did not hold a grudge against Jonathan as he had

realized the reason why Jonathan said those things. He knew that Jonathan was just trying to save him. Otherwise, judging from Simon's personality, Simon wouldn't have let Elijah go.

At the moment, what concerned Jonathan the most was food.

Whether it was Jonathan, Catherine, Elijah, or Lesley, they all needed food and water to survive.

Otherwise, with the extreme temperature, the intense exposure to the sun as well as the deprivation of food and water, their energy would be drained in no time.

It was also likely that Simon was monitoring them secretly.

If Jonathan and Catherine didn't eat or drink, they would become weaker as time passed. At that time, Simon would definitely take advantage of this chance and attack Jonathan and Catherine.

Therefore, the most crucial thing to do at the moment was to find food. After all, the situation was dire. However, Jonathan was afraid that Simon would seize the opportunity

and launch an attack when he was in search of food and water.

This was the problem that troubling Jonathan at the moment.

In the dead of night, a bright moon was hanging in the sky.

Elijah and Lesley lay down side by side. Lesley was very calm. He smiled bitterly at Jonathan and uttered, “From the moment | swallowed the golden silkworms, I've already accepted that | will die on this island. However, | never expected such a senseless death.” Catherine, on the other hand, sat cross-legged, not worried about anything.

Compared to Lesley, Elijah, however, seemed the least stable. He looked terrified, and at times, he would feel anxious. Upon hearing what Lesley said, Elijah then added, “If | were given another chance, | would not have participated in this sh*tty Divine Realm. | don't even know what is so good about Divine Realm.” Jonathan could not help but ask, “Then why are you here?”

Elijah replied, “It's all because of my grandpa and my father. They wanted me to join Divine Realm and have trained me since | was a kid. | couldn't resist at all. Nor could | disobey their order. If | quit without fighting this time, 1 will be eliminated. If that happens, | will probably not be allowed to return home again. Hence, | have no choice but to participate.” Realization dawned upon Jonathan. In fact, he was also aware that most of the candidates went through the same thing as Elijah.

This was just like the exam-oriented education system nowadays, which had also resulted in a lot of similar tragedies. Most of the time, parents forced their children into doing things that the children did not want to. Thus, they had no choice but to suppress their nature and desires.

“How about you, Lesley? Why did you take part in Divine Realm's test?” Jonathan asked Lesley after staying silent for a while.

Seeing that Lesley struggled to prop himself up, Jonathan immediately helped him up.

In a sitting position, Lesley then stated, “My hometown is Utros in the northern region, but | don't know who my biological parents are. | was adopted by the Clark family, who is the king of Utros. They have adopted twenty orphans. We grew up together. The king of Dellmoor, who is the head of the Clark family wanted us to join the Divine Realm. When we reach a certain level, we will be able to strengthen the foundation of the Clark family using the resources in the Divine Realm. It's a great honor to be an outer disciple in the Divine Realm as every outer disciple has extraordinary achievements. Hence, the king of Utros hoped that we could join the Divine Realm.” “There are five of us who took part in this test, but I'm the only one left up until this moment. | owe the Clark family a lot, so there is no way | will give up during the test. | will either die here or make it through. That is the only way out.” Jonathan was dumbfounded. It seemed that everyone who

came to join the Divine Realm had their own story.

In fact, everyone out there had their own story.

“Jonathan, what about you?” Lesley asked suddenly.

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I feel that there is a special vitality in your punching technique as if no one can suppress it. I'm sure you have a story of your own as well.

Why did you join the Divine Realm?” His words startled Jonathan. For an instant, he was at a loss for words.

It seemed like he was carrying the expectations of Yareth and Mabel.

On top of that, he had offended quite a few influential people. Thus, the only way out was to join the Divine Realm. This way, Strikezone Martial Arts and Jeremy will continue in peace. Otherwise, there would be endless revenge.

Not only that, but he was also the Chosen One.

For the sake of survival, the Chosen One could not attempt to run away from their destiny. Instead, they needed to take

the initiative to face the danger.

As a result, Jonathan responded, “My wife, Catherine, is from a prominent family, but I'm not. To put it bluntly, we are left with no choice.” With a bitter smile, Lesley said, “A bunch of people who are left with no choice gathered in this deadly test. This is both ridiculous and pathetic.” Jonathan replied, “It doesn't matter to have no choice. After all, it's our path. We have to keep walking no matter what.

Whether we can make it through or not, we will have no regrets because we have put in our effort.” Lesley was stunned for a moment before replying, “Jonathan, you are indeed perceptive.” Elijah, on the other hand, remained silent.

Suddenly, Jonathan changed the topic and exclaimed, “If we continue staying like this without food for days, Simon will definitely defeat us all.” Elijah and Lesley felt a chill running down their spines. They

all knew what Jonathan said was true.

Lesley stayed silent for a while before saying, “Jonathan, you and your wife can go and look for food. Just pay attention to each other. You can leave Elijah and me here. | believe Simon will not come after us because he still wants us to be your burden. If we die, it will put him at a disadvantage because the burden on the two of you is gone. Furthermore, James could have already been killed by Simon. In other words, only three of you are left in the match.” Jonathan nodded and replied, “I think so too.” Lesley then added, “Well! Jonathan, to be honest, you and your wife have done everything you can to help me and Elijah. You can just leave us behind and go all out to fight with Simon. Just fight for hope. Elijah and I will not blame you. Instead, we are grateful for all that you've done.” Hearing that, Elijah also propped himself up. He looked at Jonathan sincerely and uttered, “Yeah, Jonathan. You don't have to take care of us. After all, Lesley and | will not be able to escape that ending. Please don't waste your time on

us. It's really pointless.” Taking a glance at Lesley and Elijah, Jonathan remained silent for a while before a smile appeared on his face. He then responded, “Well, | don't have a habit of abandoning my companions.” He paused for a moment and continued, “l also don't know how things will play out. This is indeed the most hopeless battle that I've experienced. Anyway, | will just go with the flow. As | mentioned before, as long as you work hard, you will have no regrets. As for the result, we'll just have to do our best and see how it goes.” Lesley and Elijah were amazed at how carefree and confident Jonathan was.

They could also feel that Jonathan had a great personality.

Closing his eyes, Jonathan started resting.

One thing worth noting was that Jonathan's blood could work as a panacea. Despite that, it was ineffective in healing the internal wounds of Elijah and Lesley. Their internal wounds were far too severe.

Elijah's condition didn't seem to get better even after drinking Jonathan's blood.

In fact, such internal wound would not heal overnight.

Back then, it took Jonathan's wound an hour to heal after he took Supreme Nascent Pill. There were two reasons behind it. One of them was that Jonathan's wound was not as severe as theirs.

Compared with Simon's current cultivation, Drake's cultivation at that time was not worth mentioning at all.

The other reason was that Supreme Nascent Pill was taken directly by Jonathan, which then changed his body constitution. Hence, Jonathan's internal injuries were healed in an instant.

The night passed by in the blink of an eye.

It was already six in the morning. The sun rose over the horizon.

A cool morning breeze was blowing.

The sky was filled with beautiful white clouds.

The surrounding area, including the forest, looked calm and peaceful, making one reluctant to leave and yearn for it.

Sitting next to each other, Elijah and Lesley watched the beautiful sunset. A mix of emotions bubbled inside them. It felt like reluctance and gratitude at the same time.

It was because they knew that they were on the brink of death.

Truth be told, it felt terrible to wait for death. Even so, they would not take their own lives like cowards.

Jonathan was meditating.

Even though he could not pinpoint where Simon was while meditating, the feeling of getting watched never left him.

The watchful eyes of his enemies were still fixated on him.

Jonathan knew that even though he had five seconds of explosive Haemocore power, he was still no match for Simon.

As for Catherine... Jonathan did not have much hope for Catherine. Although Catherine was at the final stage of Nascent Soul, she was someone without desires.

Therefore, despite her mighty defense, it was almost impossible to have her launch an attack and take another's life.

On the other hand, Simon was best at offensive stances.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Jonathan and Catherine to try to kill Simon, for Catherine was not ruthless enough.

In contrast, it was likely for Simon to kill him and Catherine.

The situation remained dangerous.

The tenser the moment, the calmer Jonathan was. He used his Haemocore to take in the energy before using Requiem to calm his mind down.

Jonathan knew well that, as long as he reached middle- stage Nascent Soul, he would be able to go up against Simon along with the Haemocore's power.

However, trying to progress in Nascent Soul was akin to trudging through mud. It had been less than two months since Jonathan reached Nascent Soul. Some would say that he was a dreamer if he were to try to reach middle- stage Nascent Soul in such a short period of time.

The point of the middle-stage Nascent Soul was to break down the vigor in the body. Final-stage Nascent Soul would be to gather the broken-down vigor and reform it into Force.

It was a complicated yet wondrous process.

For those in middle-stage Nascent Soul, the breaking down of the vigor meant that their blood was revitalized.

Therefore, their strength would improve.

Those in middle-stage Nascent Soul could easily deal a punch that packed the strength of a thousand and five hundred kilograms.

Once they were at the final stage of Nascent Soul, they would then transform their spirit into Force with spirit.

Again, it would refine the user's blood and bones.

By then, one punch of theirs would be two thousand kilograms.

Every rise in level was a refinement of their body, strengthening and renewing their bones and blood. With the two boosted, the rest of the body's system would naturally be strengthened as well.

In other words, a fighter's cultivation focus was on the spirit and the body. At a certain point of body refinement, blood would become the best nourishment for the fighter.

All of a sudden, Jonathan's eyes flew open. His progress with breaking down vigor had not gone smoothly.

His body rejected the vigor, and he could not forcibly break

it down.

“What really are the requirements to break down vigor? Must it be after a certain period of time?” Jonathan was confused.

Then, his gaze landed on Catherine. In the next second, his eyes lit up. Catherine's at final-stage Nascent Soul. | can just ask for her advice! However, Jonathan was too embarrassed to ask her anything while Elijah Murray and Lesley Quinton were around.

After all, cultivation was supposed to be a solitary effort as everyone had different ways of cultivating. No one could forcefully learn another's method of cultivation, for they might end up going mad if they did so. Furthermore, some would not reveal the secrets of their cultivation to others.

That was why Jonathan had refrained from asking Catherine about it.

However, they were running out of time, and Jonathan had to buck up.

Thus, he rose to his feet and turned to Catherine, who was silently meditating. “Catherine, let's go out to look for food.” Catherine opened her eyes and stood up. “All right.” Jonathan grabbed her hand, and surprisingly, she did not reject his touch.

For reasons unbeknownst to him, Jonathan sensed many changes in Catherine.

In the past, Catherine was cold and ruthless. Frederick did everything for her, but she never even bat a lash at Frederick's death.

Jonathan thought that she would be equally indifferent if he were to die.

That was something he had mentally prepared himself for.

Of course, although Catherine had changed a little, Jonathan was still sure that she would have the same indifferent look on her face if he really died.

Nevertheless, something was still different about Catherine.

Her silence no longer kept people away from her. At the very least, she did not reject how he was holding her hand.

As a matter of fact, Jonathan somewhat sensed that Catherine was starting to rely a little on him.

But that also might just be my imagination.

Jonathan then led Catherine into the forest. The two of them were on their guard, making sure that Simon would not be able to sneak up on them.

‘When Jonathan sensed no one watching him, he figured out that Simon might not be paying attention to them anymore.

Maybe he needs rest too.

Nevertheless, he stayed wary, thinking that Simon could not possibly have gone to rest.

Simon certainly knew that it was time for Jonathan and Catherine to look for food. If Jonathan and Catherine were to successfully find food, it would be bad news for Simon.

Jonathan was a smart man. Simon must have left because he's thinking of what attacks to deliver next.

However, Jonathan could not decipher what kind of attack Simon was going to launch next.

For now, Jonathan was on the defensive. Simon was the Jungle King, so Simon's every move affected Jonathan's next move.

At that, Jonathan could not help but wish that he had the revolver Mabel gave to him. If he were to have that, there was no way Simon would still be so gleeful around Jonathan.

Needless to say, it was all just a thought.

He knew that what was happening to him at that moment was a trial. Perhaps he would be able to reach the next level after the trial, but there was always a possibility that he would die during the trial.

The more stress he had, the more motivation he had.

After composing himself, Jonathan decided to cease thinking about how Simon was going to attack them. What he had to do first was to figure out how to reach middle-

stage Nascent Soul.

Once he was at middle-stage Nascent Soul, he no longer needed to fear Simon.

Jonathan and Catherine soon found strawberries in the forest. The wild strawberries were juicy and sweet. It was truly a delicacy in the hot weather.

The two managed to get many strawberries.

After picking one of the strawberries, Jonathan dusted it on his shirt before handing it to Catherine. “Open your mouth.” Catherine obeyed and opened her mouth to take the strawberry.

Jonathan smiled at that. Catherine's getting cuter and cuter.

Then, he ate some of the strawberries as well.

After that, he and Catherine began returning, for Jonathan did not think that the forest was a good place to linger for long.

On their way back, Jonathan finally asked the question that ‘was on his mind. “Catherine, I'd like to ask you a question.”

Catherine turned to look at him and hummed in confusion.

“Hm?” “Did you have anything that helped you break down the vigor when you reached Nascent Soul middle- stage?” Catherine tilted her head to the side before mumbling, “Nothing, actually. It feels like I've taken a deep breath and let the breath meld into my body.” Jonathan was speechless at her response.

He finally realized that Catherine was unlike others. Her mind was pure, and she did not dwell much on other things.

That was why she had more ease in her cultivation.

Some people were ambidextrous, but most were not.

At the end of the day, it was because the smarter individuals dwelled on certain thoughts more.

Breaking down the vigor in the body made it seem like all they needed to do was simply let the energy meld with the body.

However, it was easier said than done.

It was the same as ordinary people trying to move their ears. They would not be able to do it unless they learned a technique of some sort.

“What's the matter?” Catherine asked.

Jonathan responded immediately, “Nothing.” So it's because | have to make sure that my mind stays blank.

I have to stay extremely focused to the point | can sense the blood cells. With just a thought, | would then be able to command my blood to surge to my fists.

Jonathan had a slightly better idea of how to reach middle- stage Nascent Soul after hearing her out.

Soon, the two returned to the beach.

At that moment, the bright sun was shining on the beach, blanketing the sand with a layer of golden glow.

The waves on the sea were lapping at the beach, and seagulls were hovering above the waters.

A sight of a morning like that could make anyone relax.

However, the moment Jonathan reached the beach, his heart sank.

It was because Simon had appeared again.

He did not take Elijah and Lesley as his hostages.

Those two were passed out on the beach, seemingly having been knocked unconscious by Simon.

Jonathan could sense that they were still alive.

Simon was thirty meters away from Jonathan.

Jonathan knew that Simon had not pulled the same trick twice because Simon knew that Jonathan would not fall for it again.

Previously, Simon had caught Elijah and threw him at Lesley, which grievously injured Lesley.

However, this time, if Simon was going to throw both Elijah and Lawson toward Jonathan, Jonathan was going to escape into the woods with Catherine.

Simon knew that Jonathan was no idiot; he knew that

Jonathan was also a merciless man when the time came.

Therefore, he did not take anyone hostage.

Right then, curiosity emerged in Jonathan's heart.

If Simon isn't taking hostages, what is he going to do? Is he going to attack? If he's going to attack, then he should have made his attack in the forest. Why did he have to pick this place out of everywhere? With that thought in mind, Jonathan came to the conclusion that something was amiss.

Simon had disappeared for a period of time. In other words, Simon must have gone to do something during that time.

Just as Jonathan was wondering what plans Simon could possibly have, Simon abruptly made his move.

He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, so swift to the point where the space around him became distorted.

In the next second, Simon reappeared in front of Jonathan, his killing intents palpable.

That murderous aura made the temperature around Jonathan drop.

Goosebumps dotted Jonathan's arms. When he looked at Simon's eyes, it was as if he was looking in the eyes of the devil.

For a moment, he thought he had sunk into hell, and thousands of vengeful spirits were shrieking into his ears.

What a powerful murderous aura! It's terrifying! Right then, Simon swung a fist at Jonathan.

It was a strange attack.

The power of his punch was like hundreds of divine beasts charging toward Jonathan's throat at the speed of lightning.

At the same time, a few things shot out of his sleeve.

Those things were snakes! The venomous snakes all flew toward Catherine, who was beside Jonathan.

There were a total of ten snakes, and they all had Simon's

spiritual imprint, so they all saw Catherine as their enemies as well.

The ten snakes launched toward Catherine like ten arrows.

Nevertheless, Catherine was used to defending herself.

With a slight frown, she skillfully dodged the attack.

However, that was exactly what Simon wanted; he wanted her to retreat so that she would not be able to fight together with Jonathan.

Simon was going to Kill Jonathan at that very moment.
