“Yes, he defeated Thiago in the promotion match yesterday. He’s now an inner court disciple,” Dario said with a nod.
“I don’t believe it. He’s just a Fourth Level Tribulator. How could he defeat Thiago? Mг. Barclay, are you making excuses to cover for your disciple? This pervert doesn’t deserve to stay in our Violet Flame Sect.”
Juliet refused to believe Dario’s words.
“Ms. Juliet, there’s no need for me to lie to you. I believe there must be some misunderstanding,” Dario continued to explain, but Juliet didn’t believe a word of it.
“If you want me to believe it, then let him compete with me. If this guy can defeat Thiago, he should be on par with me,” Juliet demanded.
She wanted to challenge Jared.
Dario knew that Juliet wanted to use a competition as an excuse to teach Jared a lesson.
After all, it was infuriating to be seen naked while bathing.
Moreover, Juliet was widely acknowledged as a great beauty, and many people found it difficult to even catch a glimpse of her. Yet Jared had seen everything.
“But you’re already a Ninth Level Tribulator, about to reach the Top Level. Competing with him is too unfair,” Darto protested.
Dario wasn’t sure if Jared could defeat Juliet, but he was unwilling to let them fight.
Regardless of who got hurt, it wouldn’t be good.
“If there’s no competition, then you must gouge out his eyes and expel him from the Violet Flame Sect,” Juliet said aggressively.
Feeling helpless, Dario could only look at Jared.
He could only help this much. After all, Jared had no business wandering around and peeping at someone bathing in the middle of the night.
The turn of events had even taken Dario by surprise.
“Competing is fine, but I don’t compete without stakes. I had a wager with Thiago,” Jared said with a slight smile.
“Not only are you a pervert, but you’re also a gambler. People like you don’t deserve to stay in the Violet Flame Sect. Today, I’ll clean up for Mr. Barclay. If you can beat me, you can name any condition. If you lose, you’ll gouge out your eyes and get out of the Violet Flame Sect.”
Juliet’s aura was pulsating, her eyes filled with rage. Without waiting for Jared’s response, Juliet attacked, fearing he would refuse or that Dario might intervene.
She stretched out her hand, and a flame spiritual sword appeared. Dozens of sword lights immediately shot toward Jared.
Seeing this, Jared sneered, casually breaking off a tree branch and infusing it with spiritual energy.
The ordinary tree branch began to glow with white light.
Seeing Jared using a tree branch to counter her, Juliet became even more furious.
Swish, swish, swish…
Juliet swung her sword again, sending another wave of sword lights toward Jared. Wave after wave of sword lights crashed toward Jared like a tide, giving him no time to breathe.
However, Jared swung his tree branch, accurately shattering each sword light.
He seemed less like he was fighting and more like he was exercising with a tree branch.
None of the sword lights could escape Jared’s strikes.
His body never moved from its original position.
Both Judd and Dario were stunned by this display.
Even though Juliet’s sword lights weren’t meant to kill Jared, it shouldn’t have been so easy for him to fend them off.
When the final sword light was shattered, Jared pointed the tree branch at Juliet.
A beam of white light shot out. Juliet was startled and hurriedly retreated, but the beam still pierced the corner of her clothing.
Seeing the hole in her clothes, Juliet narrowed her gaze while her aura surged even more intensely.
