A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 80

“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 wrong judgment. How could a Senior Grandmaster like Jared escape such a forceful blow from a Martial Arts 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.
