A Man Like None Other - Season 4 Episode 81

Die In Terror

Although Jared appeared to be standing completely still in the face of the fearsome tiger, he had already activated Focus Technique in his core.

At that moment, Jared had a very bold idea.

Focus Technique is capable of absorbing someone else’s martial energy into my own body. While I can’t be going around hunting people down to absorb their martial energy for the sake of training, what about martial energy that has been released and materialized like this tiger over here?

With that in mind, Jared reached out with both hands and grabbed hold of the tiger’s head.

He then began channeling Focus Technique to absorb the martial energy, all while being careful not to use any force or the tiger would dissipate instantly.

The floor beneath his feet began to crack from the impact, and his knees began to bend from the enormous force of the attack.

“I knew Jared was too young to go against Zachariah!”

“It’s a miracle that he’s even surviving this long in the arena with him!”

The crowd could be heard murmuring in the distance.

Josephine clutched at the hem of her shirt with her sweaty palms.

“Mr. Chance is going to lose! I’m going to save him!” Phoenix muttered through clenched teeth as she leaped to her feet.

She wouldn’t just sit by and watch Jared get killed, even if saving him would put her life at risk.

Tommy grabbed her by the arm and said, “Given your body’s current condition, you won’t be of any help even if you charge in there. Let’s just wait a little longer. I believe Mr. Chance won’t go down that easily!”

Despite what he told her, Tommy was also feeling incredibly anxious at the time. He hated himself for being so weak and useless in such a situation.

Due to his status as the underground king in Horington, Tommy had everything at his fingertips. As such, he never bothered to train at all.

However, having witnessed the battles in the arena earlier, Tommy began to regret not putting in the effort back then.

Instead of following up with more strikes, Zachariah simply stood there and watched as Jared struggled to defend against his attack.

“I’ll make sure you die slowly in fear and terror!” Zachariah said coldly.

Jared ignored him and continued channeling Focus Technique to absorb the martial energy around him. As it was his first time attempting such a feat, he had some difficulties getting used to it.

Nonetheless, he could feel the surrounding energy being absorbed into his body. All he had to do was process it in his core, and he would be able to use it for himself.

Over time, the tiger made out of martial energy began to fade and eventually disappeared before their very eyes. Both of Jared’s feet had been planted deep into the ground by the time he straightened his back.

“I’m impressed that you were able to survive that attack,” Zachariah exclaimed in surprise when he saw that Jared was perfectly fine.

“Your son’s corpse is still lying on the ground over there. You’d better give me everything you’ve got if you wish to avenge him!”

Because it would be inappropriate for him to just drain Zachariah of his martial energy in front of everyone, Jared decided to provoke him into releasing it all in his attacks instead.

That way, he would be able to absorb Zachariah’s martial energy without looking like a villain.

Sure enough, Jared’s taunts worked wonders and caused Zachariah to explode in anger. “You insolent fool!” he shouted while leaping into the air.

The surrounding martial energy condensed into the shape of sharp blades before they rained down on Jared from above.

Not only did Jared not dodge the incoming attack, but he even moved toward the martial energy blades.
