“Juliet, you should just admit defeat. You’re not my match at all. If you surrender now, perhaps the conditions I propose won’t be too harsh on you. But if you keep clinging on, after I win, I might just make you strip naked and dance before me.”
Jared looked at Juliet with a smile, trying to persuade her.
However, she saw his smile as mockery, especially the part about stripping and dancing, which she felt was a humiliation.
“Don’t get cocky. I haven’t even shown my true abilities yet.”
Gritting her teeth, Juliet leaped into the air.
As she soared, she tossed her spiritual sword, and with it, flames erupted into the sky, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
A colossal dragon, its entire body ablaze with flames and its jaws wide open, appeared!
Earlier it had been a spirit snake, but now it was a full-fledged fire dragon.
Each move she made was more sophisticated than the last.
Jared noticed this and finally looked serious.
If he didn’t hide his identity and unleashed the Power of Dragons directly, the illusionary fire dragon formed by Juliet would not withstand a blow.
However, Jared could not expose himself. If he unleashed the Power of Dragons, his identity would not be able to be hidden.
In the entire celestial realm, he was the only one capable of unleashing the Power of Dragons and allow the Golden Dragon to manifest.
Jared vigorously swung the tree branch in his hand, a white light shooting straight toward the fire dragon.
However, the moment the tree branch collided with the fire dragon, it instantly turned into dust.
After all, it was just a piece of wood, despite Jared infusing it with spiritual power and a touch of extremus frost flame.
Seeing the branch turn to powder, Juliet smirked.
She wanted Jared to regret challenging her with a mere branch. The fire dragon roared, its flaming claws swiping directly toward Jared.
Judd and Dario were stunned by this sight. Dario even began to emit his aura, ready to intervene at any moment.
However, Jared remained fearless. Although he no longer had the branch, he slapped his palm directly against the dragon’s claw.
Flames engulfed Jared’s palm, with faint lightning flickering within the flames.
Jared used the Thunder Palm, albeit not fully, as he didn’t want to reveal too much at the Violet Flame Sect.
His palm strike against the dragon’s claw caused it to recoil.
Seeing this, Dario, who had intended to act, suppressed his aura once more. He hadn’t expected Jared to face the fire dragon bare-handed and unarmed but ended up unscathed.
He saw the lightrning flashing among the flames in Jared’s palm strike, though.
“This kid even knows lightning techniques. Looks like he’s hiding more than we thought,” Dario said with increased interest.
Although Dario had accepted money from Jared and brought him to the Violet Flame Sect to learn the fire fusion technique from Gael, he was not foolish.
He wouldn’t let the sect fall into danger.
He had been quietly observing Jared to understand his intentions. I
If Jared had any malicious intentions toward the Violet Flame Sect, Dario would certainly take action.
Money could be earned, but there were lines he wouldn’t cross.
Dario wouldn’t earn money if it required him to bring harm to Violet Flame Sect.
“Now you understand the consequences of underestimating me, right? I’ll allow you to bring out your weapon, or else the next fire dragon attack will take your life!”
Juliet was surprised by Jared’s palm strike but confident that he wouldn’t withstand the next attack.
“Against you, using a branch would be overkill. I’ll stick to bare hands!” Jared taunted, waving his hand toward Juliet provocatively.
“Hmph…” Juliet scoffed upon seeing that.
Immediately, flames ignited in her hands as she manipulated them, continuously infusing flames into the airborne fire dragon.
In an instant, the flames on the fire dragon intensified dramatically.
