Chapter 2281
Several elders gathered on a mountain peak in the distance.
Among them were James' teacher, Yoan, and Hayden’s teacher, Jeffery.
Jeffery looked at Yoan beside him and said calmly, “Elder Yoan, is this your new disciple? He looksa little arrogant, thinking he can take three moves from Hayden.”
Yoan smiled faintly. He was confident in James. After James consumed the Helios Pill, his physicalstrength improved a lot. Moreover, James also cultivated in the Ancient Clan’s Pagoda of Flames forhalf a year.
In actuality, Yoan did not really know James’ exact strength. From his observation, James’ physicalstrength was at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair, so it would not be difficult for him to withstandthree moves from Hayden.
“Although James is young, he has great potential. He has the greatest potential out of all the newlyrecruited disciples. I believe he’ll fare well in the Grand Tournament. He might even enter the topten.”
Yoan was optimistic about James.
“Haha,” Jeffery chuckled.
Yoan had confidence in James, but Jeffery also had faith in Hayden.novelbin
“How about we make a bet?” Jeffery said with a smile.
Yoan agreed. “Sure. What are we betting on?”
Jeffery said, “We’ll bet on whether James can withstand Hayden’s three moves. If he succeeds andcan still stand up, then I lose. If he can’t stand up and completely loses combat power, then youlose. Since we’re just playing around, how about the loser slaps himself three times?”
Hearing this, Yoan’s mouth twitched.
Yoan knew Jeffery had been dissatisfied with him since long ago but never expected him to suggestsuch a bet.
Although he was confident, James’ opponent was Jeffery’s Inner Disciple, Hayden, who had been inthe Welkin Academy for a hundred years.
Hayden was terrifyingly strong. At that moment, he was slightly hesitant to accept the bet.
He would have to slap himself if he accepted the bet and lost, which was very embarrassing.
Jeffery said with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Well, it’s only reasonable for you to besince James would never be able to withstand three moves from Hayden.”
“Alright, let’s do it.”
Yoan gritted his teeth and accepted the bet.
He believed in James.
Since James dared to agree, he must have had the confidence to win.
The other elders smiled and did not say much.
At the United Alliance’s mountain foot, the spectating disciples stepped back and cleared up anopen space.
Extremely strong energy erupted from Hayden’s body, and it formed a magnetic field. Everyone inthe area felt pressure sweeping toward them. Meanwhile, James was right in the center of themagnetic field. He stood rooted in the ground, like a motionless mountain.
“I don’t want you to say I’m bullying you, Hayden. I have to withstand three moves from you, right?I’ll just stand here, and you can attack me. Go ahead. Strike.”
Hearing James’ words, the audience was shocked.
“James must be mad.”
“He’s not just mad. He’s conceited! Even a powerhouse of the same rank as Hayden would not daremake such an arrogant remark. Yet, he says he’ll stay in place for Hayden to attack him?”
“He definitely has a death wish.”
Everyone felt that James was simply courting death. It would already be a miracle if he couldwithstand three moves from Hayden, yet he also wanted to stand in place. He was definitely askingfor it.
“Haha. Since you want to die so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish.” Hayden laughed out loud.
He thrust his palm forward, and powerful energy gathered in his hand. He took a step forward,appearing right in front of James. Then, his palm struck James’ body.
James felt a powerful force permeating his body, making him feel numb.
Apart from that, he felt completely fine.
He did not even take a step back.
James patted his chest where he was struck, then calmly said, “Is that all you have?”
Hayden was shocked. He was slightly worried about really killing James and did not use all of hisstrength. His attack contained only half of his strength, but he did not expect James to beunscathed.
