Female Novel
Chapter 682
Staring at Xander with disdain, Jared scoffed, “You might want to let me go, but I'm not going to allow
you the same luxury. Today, you are going to die in this arena.”
Just as he spoke, Jared formed the shape of a blade with his fingers and drew a meter-long green
energy arc with it.
Swinging his hand forcefully, he sent it flying in Xander's direction.
As the arc shot across the arena, the trail it left on the ground ignited in flames. The sparks that flew
looked just like exploding fireworks underneath the illumination of the sun.
Narrowing his gaze, Xander waved his hands frantically to form an energy wall in front of him. Visible to
the naked eye, the wall was stronger than one made of bronze or steel.
The moment Jared's arc slammed into the wall, the crisp sound of clanging metal echoed through the
air.
As the arc continued to cut through the wall, sparks flew everywhere. Furthermore, it sounded as if it
was a high-speed grinder slicing its way through a wall made of bronze.
“Jared, it seems your strength is still lacking. Did you actually expect such a weak attack to break
through my defenses?”
A contemptuous look was written all over Xander's face, for he knew that the arc would soon
disappear. As it was also formed by energy, he was confident that it would not be able to sustain itself.
Once the user's energy was used up, the arc would naturally disintegrate.
Consequently, Xander's plan was to exhaust Jared's energy. On the contrary, Jared was delighted tonovelbin
have learned that. Although Xander was stronger than Jared in absolute terms, he did not have the
stamina to keep up with the latter.
Given the huge amount of spiritual energy stored in Jared's elixir field, he would definitely beat Xander
in a battle of attrition.
As Jared's arc continued to grind against Xander's energy wall, its intensity did not waver with the
passage of time. Instead, it gradually grew more powerful.
Meanwhile, Xander began to break out in cold sweat as he stared at Jared in disbelief. Moreover, the
energy wall he conjured began to turn transparent, indicating that his reservoir of energy was
weakening.
“Mr. Knox, why does Jared have so much energy in him? Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster like Xander
is on the brink of faltering,” Donald asked after watching the battle for some time.
Axton was equally baffled as to what Jared was trying to do.
“How can this be? Isn't Jared just a Fifth Level Grandmaster? How can he have so much energy within
him?
Can it be that he took an explosion pill before the battle?” Axton frowned curiously.
“Mr. Knox, wouldn't it be suicide for him to take the pill? Furthermore, its effects only last for ten
minutes, and they have now fought for a much longer time than that,” Donald disagreed with Axton's
assessment.
Even though the explosion pill could enhance one's power in a short time, it came at a price. Taking it
would damage one's internal organs, on top of the fact that the pills' effects wouldn’t last for long.
“This is really strange. It appears that Jared has plenty of secrets we don't know of.”
Squinting his eyes at Jared, Axion looked as if he was trying to decipher all of Jared's secrets.
Meanwhile, Melanie commented, “Mr. Deragon, it seems that Jared still has a chance to win. I guess
you don't have to intervene this time.”
Rayleigh nodded. “Jared's victory is secured. Thus, it's time for us to go.”
With that, Rayleigh strode out of the arena with Melanie following closely behind him.
Back in the arena, Jared hadn't noticed that Rayleigh had left. Instead, he was using the Focus
Technique to enhance his arc's explosiveness.
