Chapter 680 Delay
“Don’t worry. Jared is fine. Even if he isn’t as strong as Xander, he will not lose so quickly.”
In contrast to the rest, Rayleigh seemed calm.
As the dust slowly settled, those with sharp eyes noticed a figure standing in the middle of the arena.
Soon, more and more people noticed that Jared was still standing in the arena. It turned out that Xander did not
defeat him with that blow.
It seemed like only Jared’s clothes were torn and tattered, and the bronze breastplate on his chest had a huge dent.
Seeing Jared alive, another wave of shock moved across the crowd.
Josephine was no exception. She stood out from the rest as she started to cry even more.
“H-How is that possible? Isn’t Jared a Fifth Level Grandmaster?”
Axton was astounded by the sight of Jared standing in the arena unscathed. He was sure that he did not make the

Grandmaster? It was intriguing how he could still stand safe and sound in the arena.
At that moment, only Jared knew that his internal organs had suffered the most. Although the bronze breastplate
deflected some of the impacts of Xander’s attack, he still suffered from some internal injuries.
He was frantically trying to use his Focus Technique to treat himself with spiritual energy. Instead of puking out the
blood built up in his throat, Jared suppressed it to put up a strong front.
“Is that all you had? I would persuade you to kneel and admit your mistake now. Perhaps, I could spare your life.”
Jared stood there, shooting lasers out from his eyes.
Although he looked battered, the crowd was in awe of him at that point.
How many people could survive an attack from a Martial Arts Grandmaster?
“Jared, don’t be so full of yourself. I swear I’ll kill you today.”
When Xander realized that Jared emerged alive from the blow he delivered, he felt his heart race with anxiousness.
Initially, he had the confidence that he could win from the start.
However, seeing how things unfolded, his confidence began to fade. Nonetheless, Xander knew he could not back
out with the martial arts world watching him. Even though he was enraged, he did not dare to make another move
on Jared.
The more Jared acted that way, the less sure Xander felt of himself. He grew more cautious as he assumed Jared
had something up his sleeves and was purposely trying to agitate him.
Little did he know that Jared intended for that effect as he needed the time to recuperate.
Both men faced each other for a while, but no one made a move.
The tension in the stadium was palpable, and it only grew. No one dared to make a sound. Since it was a decisive
match between two skilled fighters, everyone wanted to avoid agitating any of them.
Soon, Jared’s internal injuries began to recover slowly under his Focus Technique. At the same time, he also
managed to calm himself down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Deragon, why aren’t any of them striking?”
Melanie turned to Rayleigh, looking quite frustrated with the situation.
“Jared is injured, and he is trying to treat himself,” Rayleigh grimly spoke.
From the start, he could tell Jared had suffered from internal injuries. However, the audience did not notice it as
Jared hid it well.
As time passed, Xander started to notice what was going on.
“Da*n it. You fooled me. I see you were trying to waste time.”
Xander had a moment of realization as coldness flashed across his eyes. Then, he leaped up, and like a hawk, he
spread his arms and flew toward Jared.
In midair, he closed his arms, and the audience could see Xander activating the energy of heaven and earth
combined with his own energy. Then, he created two giant-like hands, slamming them into Jared.
Jared frowned in response. Using his palm like a knife, he tried to cut through the air with all his might.
Smash!
A faint green light could be seen cutting across the giant hand-like energy.
