Chapter 684 Interesting Development
As for Josephine and the others, all of them watched while being on the edge of their seats.
“Argh!” Xander let out a thunderous roar before hurling the ball of light at Jared.
Other than a heatwave, Jared could feel an intense pressure moving in his direction. He felt like he had the weight of a mountain on his shoulders.
As the floor he was on began to crack, the arena soon collapsed underneath him, causing him to fall onto the ground.
Meanwhile, the ball of light that was thrown at him went through the hole and struck Jared directly.
Having watched the ball of light disappear underneath the arena, no one could see what Jared’s condition was.
“He’s doomed.”
“The idea that a Senior Grandmaster can defeat a Martial Arts Grandmaster remains nothing but a fool’s dream.”
“Even though Jared is a genius and has a terrifyingly strong body, some humility would’ve done him some good. Unfortunately, he has wasted such a powerful body.”
As the crowd lamented Jared’s defeat, they got up from their seats and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Knox, is that the end?” Donald asked.
Axton felt a tad disappointed. “It is. I was expecting Jared to deliver us a surprise, but a Martial Arts Grandmaster is just way too powerful. Solely relying on a strong constitution and technique alone isn’t enough to bridge the gap.”
“In that case, Mr. Knox, why didn’t you save Jared so that you can ask him for the pill?” Donald didn’t understand Axton’s decision.
“Even I couldn’t save Jared from Xander’s attack just now. To be honest, I wasn’t even aware that the Cooper family had such powerful techniques,” Axton lamented with a sigh.
At that moment, Xander stood in the middle of the arena with a smug and confident expression. When he swept his gaze across the crowd, everyone lowered their heads for fear of making eye contact with him.
Now that the battle was over, Xander’s ranking in the martial arts world would definitely make a significant leap. ‘A rising tide lifts all boats’, the Cooper family’s reputation in Jadeborough would be greatly enhanced.
“Let’s hurry and welcome Xander down from the arena,” Sean exclaimed jubilantly. He then ordered his subordinates to line up in two rows to receive Xander when he was about to descend from the arena.
However, just when Xander turned around and prepared to leave, a golden hue shone out from the hole Jared was in.
Filled with astonishment, everyone stared in the direction of the golden light.
Even Xander stopped in his tracks and stared at it in disbelief.
No one had any idea what was going on, but they were certain that the golden light had something to do with Jared.
As Jared’s body gradually rose from the hole, he was enveloped by the golden hue and looked just like an angel who had descended from heaven.
“Da*n it, Jared isn’t dead yet. Has he become an immortal?”
“He’s like an unkillable pest that just refuses to die.”
“No, this is getting interesting!”
At that moment, the crowd who were just about to leave returned to their seats, expecting the battle to get even more interesting.
After Jared landed gently on the arena, the golden hue surrounding him began to dissipate.
Not only did he not have a scratch on him, but his energy was also replenished significantly.
“Xander, if that’s all you have, let’s just end this.”
Just as Jared spoke, he suddenly exploded in Xander’s direction and slammed his hammer-like fist straight at the latter’s face.
This time, Jared no longer used any flashy moves. The basic punch he launched was so fast that it created a vacuum in the air.
Turning around at the crucial moment, Xander threw a punch to intercept Jared’s attack.
