Chapter 385 The Two Foolish Brothers Driven by Excitement
In the face of Hugo and Jackson's provocation, Lachlan hesitated for a moment before showing hisanger. "What do you mean? You guys are in the late stage of Uppecia, what do I have to comparewith you?" he said with a hint of annoyance.
"Just because we're in the late stage of Uppecia doesn't mean anything. I dare you to fight me. Ifyou don't, it just means you're a coward!" Hugo said arrogantly.
"That's right! The difference between mid and late stages is just one small level. Do you really thinkthat we're weaker than you in every aspect? You worthless thing! My defense is my weak point, doyou dare to compare with me?" Jackson taunted Lachlan.
They had also heard about what happened at the inn yesterday. "Landon" was kicked by theHernandez family's young master but still dared to fight back against him. In their eyes, "Landon"was just an impulsive fool who couldn't handle any hardship or humiliation.
So now they were trying to provoke Lachlan into making a rash decision and being led around bythem until he ended up defeated.
Sure enough, when Lachlan heard Hugo and Jackson's taunts, his face turned red with anger andfrustration. "Who are you calling worthless? Who has no courage?"
"Haha! We're talking about you! What are you going to do about it?" Hugo and Jackson sneered athim contemptuously.
"Fine then! Let's compare ourselves then! How do you want us to compete?" Lachlan gritted histeeth angrily as if he was superior over them both.
"It's simple: I'll choose how much attack power I can withstand while defending myself; then youchoose something similar too," Jackson said after exchanging glances with Hugo.
In their last round of attack tests among peers, he had demonstrated ten rounds' worth of strengthusing his Uppecia-level power, indicating that indeed he possessed strong attacking abilities.
Lachlan's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally nodded with a stubborn expression, "Fine! In thatcase, does it work the other way around? If I choose the level of attack I can withstand, you alsohave to choose the same?"
Hearing this, Jackson was taken aback and looked at Lachlan's indignant face, thinking that he wasjust being stubborn.
"Right! Isn't that obvious? Both of us should choose to withstand the same level of attack!" Jacksonnodded in agreement.
At this moment, everyone's attention shifted to the ten bronze figures below the stage, and they allnoticed the confrontation between Lachlan and the Wood family's Hugo and Jackson.
Upon hearing Lachlan's agreement, a wave of whispers broke out.
Many people looked at Lachlan as if he were a fool.
"This idiot, haha..." Arlo sneered, feeling a sense of schadenfreude.
Now he finally understood why this "fool" had the courage to challenge him after being kicked byhim yesterday. It turned out he was just a brainless simpleton who couldn't bear any humiliation orprovocation. Ha ha... such a person would easily be played to death.
The other contestants, including the disciples of the Hudpids Sect, wore expressions ofspeechlessness and ridicule.
Phoebe on the side of the platform couldn't help but smile lightly and shake her head.novelbin
"Is he an inexperienced and naive fool? I really don't understand why someone like him was sent toparticipate in the Clan Grand Competition!"
"So boring!"
Initially, when Lachlan faced her "mediation" yesterday, he had shown a proud and unyieldingattitude, which made Phoebe somewhat curious about him, thinking that he might have someextraordinary qualities. But now it seemed he was indeed "extraordinary" in a sense-vain, childish,and laughable.
Among all the people, only Savannah and Sophie were secretly worried for Lachlan.
"Landon, don't do anything reckless! Just choose the difficulty according to your own strength anddon't get carried away!" Savannah hurriedly ran over and shouted at Lachlan.
Sophie also furrowed her brow, afraid that Lachlan would act impulsively.
Lachlan, with an annoyed expression, waved his hand impatiently at Savannah as if he wasannoyed, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
"That's right! He knows what he's doing!"
"Callum, it's not your turn yet, go back quickly and don't break the rules."
Hugo said to Savannah.
They had finally succeeded in provoking Lachlan, and they didn't want him to be persuaded back by"Callum."
"Alright! The assessment is starting now, non-participants, leave the area!"
At this moment, the representative of the Wood family, who represented the hidden power of theWood family, spoke with a serious tone.
The "referees" on the stage did not urge Hugo and Jackson when they provoked Lachlan earlier,but now they indicated that the assessment was about to begin.
Hugo and Jackson stood on either side of Lachlan, next to the bronze figure he had chosen. Behindeach bronze figure stood a disciple of the Hudpids Sect responsible for adjusting the attackintensity.
"Landon, I choose the attack intensity of the late stage of Uppecia. What about you?" Jacksontaunted Lachlan.
Hugo added fuel to the fire, "Landon, so many people are watching. You agreed to it earlier. If youback out now, you might as well find a hole to hide in! Graham family will become a laughingstockagain!"
"Enough nonsense! It's just the late stage of Uppecia, right? I'll do it too!" Lachlan's face turned red,gritting his teeth.
The Hudpids Sect disciple behind the bronze figure assigned to Lachlan raised an eyebrow, lookingat him, "Contestant Landon, are you sure?"
"Sure! What's there to be unsure about? It's just the attack intensity of the late stage of Uppecia,and defense is my strong suit!" Lachlan nodded, looking bewildered.
After selecting the difficulty, the ten contestants stood in front of their respective bronze figures,assuming various defensive stances to prepare for the attack.
At Isabel's command, the Hudpids Sect disciples controlling the bronze figures activated the attackmechanisms.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The dull sounds of the bronze figures colliding with flesh were heard one after another.
Jackson was pushed back several steps by the bronze figure's strike but managed to withstand it,his face turning slightly red, but there was no suspense in his defense.
On the other side, Hugo seemed to be even more relaxed.
In contrast, Lachlan was swept away by the bronze figure and fell to the ground.
The next moment, he gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground. Immediately after, with a"pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of red liquid. Witnessing this scene, Hugo and Jacksonexchanged a glance, revealing excitement in their eyes.
Meanwhile, the audience erupted in jeers, treating Lachlan as an overconfident joke.
Savannah and Sophie showed a hint of worry on their faces, but still felt somewhat relieved.Despite being injured, Lachlan managed to get back up.
"Does anyone want to increase the intensity?" At this moment, Isabel on the stage asked calmly.
