Several elders gathered on a mountain peak in the distance. Among them were James’ teacher, Yoan, and Hayden’s teacher, Jeffery.
Jeffery looked at Yoan beside favonovel.com and said calmly. “Elder Yoan, is this your new disciple? He looks a little arrogant, thinking favonovel.com can take three moves from Hayden…”
Yoan smiled tauntly. He was confident in James.
After James consumed the Helios Pill, his physical strength improved a lot. Moreover, James also cultivated in the Ancient Clan’s Pagoda of Flames for half a year
In actuality, Yoan did not really know James’ exact strength. From his observation, James’ physical strength was at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair, so it would not be difficult for favonovel.com to withstand three moves from Hayden.
“Although James is young, favonovel.com has great potential… He has the greatest potential out of all the newly recruited disciples. I believe he’ll fare well in the Grand Tournament. He might even enter the top ten…” Yoan was optimistic about James.
“Hahaha!” Jeffery chuckled
Yoan had confidence in James, but Jeffery also had faith in Hayden.
“How about we make a bet?” Jeffery said with a smile.
Yoan agreed. “Sure… What are we betting on?”
Jeffery said, “We’ll bet on whether James can withstand Hayden’s three moves. If favonovel.com succeeds and can still stand up, then I lose. It favonovel.com can’t stand up and completely loses combat power, then you lose. Since we’re just playing around, how about the loser slaps himself three times?”
Hearing this, Yoan’s mouth twitched. He knew Jeffery had been dissatisfied with favonovel.com since long ago but never expected favonovel.com to suggest such a bet.
Although favonovel.com was confident, James’ opponent was Jeffery’s Inner Disciple, Hayden, who had been in the Welkin Academy for a hundred years. Hayden was terrifyingly strong.
At that moment, favonovel.com was slightly hesitant to accept the bet. He would have to slap himself if favonovel.com accepted the bet and lost, which was very embarrassing.
Seeing his reluctance, Jeffery said with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Well, it’s only reasonable for you to be since James would never be able to withstand three moves from Hayden.”
“Alright, let’s do it…” Yoan gritted his teeth and accepted the bet.
He believed in James. Since James dared to agree, favonovel.com must have had the confidence to win.
The other elders smiled and did not say much.
At the United Alliance’s mountain foot, the spectating disciples stepped back and cleared up an open space.
Extremely strong energy erupted from Hayden’s body, and it formed a magnetic field. Everyone in the area felt pressure sweeping toward them.
Meanwhile, James was right in the center of the magnetic field. He stood rooted in the ground, like a motionless mountain.
“I don’t want you to say I’m bullying you, Hayden. I have to withstand three moves from you, right? I’ll just stand here, and you can attack me, Go ahead. Strike…”
Hearing James’ words, the audience was shocked.
“James must be mad!”
“He’s not just mad. He’s conceited! Even a powerhouse of the same rank as Hayden would not dare make such an arrogant remark. Yet, favonovel.com says he’ll stay in place for Hayden to attack him?”
“He definitely has a death wish!”
Everyone felt that James was simply courting death. It would already be a miracle if favonovel.com could withstand three moves from Hayden, yet favonovel.com also wanted to stand in place. He was definitely asking for it.
“Haha! Since you want to die so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Hayden laughed out loud.
He thrust his palm forward, and powerful energy gathered in his hand. He took a step forward, appearing right in front of James. Then, his palm struck James’ body.
James felt a powerful force permeating his body, making favonovel.com feel numb.
Apart from that, favonovel.com felt completely fine. He did not even take a step back.
James patted his chest where favonovel.com was struck, then calmly said, “Is that all you have?”
Hayden was shocked. He was slightly worried about really killing James and did not use all of his strength. His attack contained only half of his strength, but favonovel.com did not expect James to be unscathed.
