A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 83

At that moment, the ground below Xander had begun to crater. Despite how astounded he was at Jared’s boundless energy, Xander continued to hold his ground with gritted teeth.

Crack! Crack!

Soon, hairline cracks emerged on the energy wall before growing increasingly large.

With a drastic change in expression, Xander threw himself back.

Crash!

Upon his retreat, the wall disintegrated into thin air. Subsequently, the green arc that Jared had launched slammed into the ground by Xander’s feet.

On the arena, it left a trail of destruction so powerful that there was a one-meter-deep trench in the ground with rocks strewn in every direction.

By then, Xander had retreated to the edge of the arena where he dodged Jared’s attack by a whisker.

When he saw how pathetic Xander looked, Jared narrowed his gaze. “If I were holding a real sword, you would already be dead.”

Staring at Jared, Xander didn’t rebut, for he knew that Jared was speaking the truth. If Jared had used a real sword instead of one shaped from energy, Xander wouldn’t have been able to escape the attack.

“Jared, it’s too early for you to gloat. After training in seclusion for many years, I have managed to use the Cooper family’s techniques to achieve the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Consequently, a Grandmaster like you won’t be able to defeat me easily.”

Just as Xander spoke, he released a terrifying aura from his body, stirring up howling gales in the arena.

Soon, Xander’s hair began to stand while he waved at the air as if he was dancing like a madman. Every time he got hold of something, he would hurl it forward. In the blink of an eye, razor-like lights were being shot out from his hands.

From Jared’s end, he realized the lights looked like bullets being fired at his vital organs.

Unfazed by the attacks, Jared didn’t dodge and allowed them to hit his body.

After their earlier exchanges, he had gained a good understanding of Xander’s strength and his own defensive capabilities. Only with that knowledge was Jared confident enough to absorb the attacks.

When the lights struck Jared’s body, a soft sound was heard. Nevertheless, it didn’t leave a single scratch on him.

Xander’s expression turned grim. “Jared, are you wearing a chain mail? I have never seen anyone who trained their body to this level of hardiness before.”

Snorting, Jared took off the bronze breastplate he was wearing and threw it to the side.

“Do you think you can actually hurt me even if I’m not wearing anything?”

Jared’s words utterly humiliated Xander.

At the sight of Jared taking off his breastplate, a solemn expression descended on Xander’s face.

The fact that Jared dared to do so demonstrated his confidence.

Xander took a deep breath and stared coldly at Jared. “Given how arrogant you are, it’s time for you to know what death tastes like.”

With that, Xander unleashed his aura again. With his body as the focal point, a terrifying force expanded in all directions. Waving his right hand slowly, rays of light began concentrating within it. It was as if he had control of the sun in his hand.

Soon, the light in his hand began to grow until it was shining brighter than the sun itself. Consequently, the light was so jarring that everyone could barely open their eyes.

“What technique is Xander using? It looks truly terrifying.”

“I can’t believe how amazing it is. Despite being so far away, I can even feel the heat being emitted.”

“There’s no way Jared can intercept that attack. It seems the gulf in skills is just too big to bridge.”

“That’s it. Jared will be defeated by this move.”

As the crowd discussed how powerful Xander’s technique was, those who sat in front covered their eyes with their hands.
