Chapter 2615 Just Like A Madman
“Very good. I'm glad to see the maturity you've shown,” Ebenez complimented Sigurd before turning toface Jared. “What's your name?”
“Jared Chance,” Jared casually replied.
“Since you're looking to join Emerald Cauldron Sect. Why have you chosen to become a disciple ofGhaylen instead of Hosen?” Ebenez inquired quizzically.
As the leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect, Hosen was the natural choice if one were looking for amaster. In addition, one's position in Emerald Cauldron Sect would naturally be higher as Hosen'sdisciple.
On the contrary, Ghaylen lived in a miserable place and couldn't afford to provide his disciples withmany resources. Other than a few loyal disciples, no one else had sought him out to become theirmaster.
“There's no particular reason. I just like him,” came Jared's response.
Jared's calm and collected tone shocked Ebenez, for most candidates would not only show him utmostrespect but also secretly present him with gifts. novelbin
The latter didn't mind Jared not getting him anything but was shocked by the attitude Jared displayed. Itwas one that he couldn't tolerate at all.
“Kid, you exude the arrogance of youth, but your overconfidence won't help you in the evaluation.Whether you pass or not will solely depend on your skills.”
Upon ending his sentence with a smirk, Ebenez handed Jared a token. “This is the token for theevaluation and your life depends on it. If you encounter any danger during the process, you can breakthe token and someone will come to your rescue. That said, let me be honest with you. Once you'reinside, your life belongs to fate itself. If you get yourself killed, our sect won't be responsible for it,” theformer continued.
Staring at the token Ebenez handed out, Jared didn't accept it. Instead, he replied indifferently, “I don'tneed the token. If my life were to be threatened, it only means that I'm too weak. Hence, I won't blameEmerald Cauldron Sect even if I die inside.”
“Good. I admire your guts. It's been a long time since I've seen a young man with as much bravado asyou do. I hope that you won't disappoint me.”
Despite the fact that Ebenez was praising Jared, an icy glint flashed across his eyes.
Thereafter, Ebenez injected a white light into the evaluation site with a wave of his hand, graduallyopening the arcane array there.
“Go on in,” Ebenez instructed.
After walking up to the site, Jared stopped abruptly just before he entered.
“What's wrong? Are you regretting it already?” Ebenez asked upon noticing Jared's hesitation.
“I just want to know what the time limit of the evaluation is.”
“Ten hours. You'll pass as long as you can come out within that duration. Once you go inside, I'm goingto take a nap. Without the token, no one can go in and save you in the event your life is at risk,”Ebenez sneered.
“Actually, I was asking if there's a minimum time I must stay in there,” Jared clarified.
“A minimum time?” Ebenez was taken by surprise. When he quickly realized the meaning behindJared's words, he sneered, “Kid, enough with the questions. You haven't even gone in yet. Let me tellyou. Ever since I took charge of the evaluation, the only person who could finish it in three hours wasSigurd. I don't suppose that you think you're stronger than him? I've seen plenty of haughty discipleswho ended up failing in the end. You had better stop boasting so as to not embarrass yourself later.”
Upon hearing Ebenez's words, Jared broke into an indifferent smile. “That will only happen to thosewithout the skills to back them up. I'll take ten minutes at most. I don't think you'd have enough time fora nap.”
With that, Jared strode into the arcane array.
Watching the man's disappearing silhouette, Ebenez asked, “Sigurd, where did Ghaylen find thisweirdo? He's just like a madman.”
“I... I have no idea,” Sigurd replied with a gulp.
Nevertheless, Sigurd knew that Jared had the skills to put his money where his mouth was.
