After Jared heard his offer, he snorted, “How are you so certain that I would lose?”
“Well, I’m sure you would not emerge as the winner. Xander is a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Although he
is new to it, and his powers aren’t as stable, he could still beat you easily. I think you are no more than
a Fifth Level Grandmaster, so how could you defeat Xander? It’s impressive for you to be part of the
martial arts world at such a young age. Nonetheless, you still have a lot to learn. Do consider what I
have offered because you still have a bright future ahead of you,” Axton tried to persuade Jared,
hoping the latter would agree.
After all, the Medicine God Sect did not often come across such a high-tier pill.
More importantly, he was interested in knowing the person who created the pill and how Jared was
related to the person such that he could receive such a precious pill.
“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I rather die in the arena than receive help from someone else. If there
is nothing else for us to discuss, please leave.”
Although Jared did not know how strong he would be in his Transcendence Phase and the type of
martial artists he could defeat, he knew he was more than a Fifth Level Grandmaster. That was proven
when he easily defeated two martial artists of a lower level than a Fifth Level Grandmaster.
Hearing that, Axton glanced at Jared before he sighed, “You should reconsider what I said. Even if you
are already in the arena, you can still seek my help. I will be watching the fight. I’m only hoping for a
miracle as it would be a loss to lose a fighter like you.”
With that, Axton turned to leave. Then, Donald gave Jared a side-eye and scoffed, “How arrogant!
You’ll probably beg for our help tomorrow.”
After both men left, Jared returned to his room and did not take Axton’s words to heart. Even if he could
not defeat Xander, he did not think he would ask Axton to save him. After all, Rayleigh would be
watching the match and could help him instead.
The next morning, Horington saw its most glorious day as a small city. Countless luxury cars and even
helicopters had gathered in the area.
People from the martial arts world everywhere came to watch the deathmatch between Jared and
Xander. From the modes of transport they arrived in, one could tell that there were many wealthy
individuals in the martial arts world. It was no surprise as one would need substantial financial support
to improve their skills and rise through the ranks.
There was already an arena in a stadium in Horington. Outside the stadium, Phoenix and Tommy had
their men surrounded it. Other than people from the martial arts world, no one else could enter.
After all, it was a fight between two highly skilled martial artists. Even if one were a hundred meters
away, the aftermath could kill a commoner. Only people that had the Grandmaster rank could enter.
At the same time, Luke led his men from Summerbank over to help Phoenix maintain the order.
Spencer from Herb Palace also came. It was only natural that those who interacted with Jared had to
watch such an important event.
At that moment, Theodore, Walter, and the Baileys were waiting outside Jared’s mansion in Dragon
Bay. They did not dare disturb Jared, who was still asleep.
“As expected, Mr. Chance must be full of confidence. Look at how he is still sleeping despite having
such an important day ahead,” Samuel could not help but comment in amazement.
Tristan whispered, “Grandpa, Xander is a Martial Arts Grandmaster. However, Mr. Chance-”
Although he knew Jared was an energy cultivator, Xander was much strong. Besides, what worried
Tristan the most was Jared’s lack of time to train.
“Don’t worry. I have faith in Mr. Chance,” Samuel calmly responded.
