A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 682

Chapter 682 Battle Of Attrition

Staring at Xander with disdain, Jared scoffed, “You might want to let me go, but I’m not going to allow you the same luxury. Today, you are going to die in this arena.”

Just as he spoke, Jared formed the shape of a blade with his fingers and drew a meter-long green energy arc with it.

Swinging his hand forcefully, he sent it flying in Xander’s direction.

As the arc shot across the arena, the trail it left on the ground ignited in flames. The sparks that flew looked just like exploding fireworks underneath the illumination of the sun.

Narrowing his gaze, Xander waved his hands frantically to form an energy wall in front of him. Visible to the naked eye, the wall was stronger than one made of bronze or steel.

The moment Jared’s arc slammed into the wall, the crisp sound of clanging metal echoed through the air.

As the arc continued to cut through the wall, sparks flew everywhere. Furthermore, it sounded as if it was a high-speed grinder slicing its way through a wall made of bronze.

“Jared, it seems your strength is still lacking. Did you actually expect such a weak attack to break through my defenses?”

A contemptuous look was written all over Xander’s face, for he knew that the arc would soon disappear. As it was also formed by energy, he was confident that it would not be able to sustain itself. Once the user’s energy was used up, the arc would naturally disintegrate.

Consequently, Xander’s plan was to exhaust Jared’s energy. On the contrary, Jared was delighted to have learned that. Although Xander was stronger than Jared in absolute terms, he did not have the stamina to keep up with the latter.

Given the huge amount of spiritual energy stored in Jared’s elixir field, he would definitely beat Xander in a battle of attrition.

“This is really strange. It appears that Jared has plenty of secrets we don’t know of.”

Squinting his eyes at Jared, Axton looked as if he was trying to decipher all of Jared’s secrets.

Meanwhile, Melanie commented, “Mr. Deragon, it seems that Jared still has a chance to win. I guess you don’t have to intervene this time.”

Rayleigh nodded. “Jared’s victory is secured. Thus, it’s time for us to go.”

With that, Rayleigh strode out of the arena with Melanie following closely behind him.

Back in the arena, Jared hadn’t noticed that Rayleigh had left. Instead, he was using the Focus Technique to enhance his arc’s explosiveness.
