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.

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.
As Jared’s arc continued to grind against Xander’s energy wall, its intensity did not waver with the passage of time.
Instead, it gradually grew more powerful.
Meanwhile, Xander began to break out in cold sweat as he stared at Jared in disbelief. Moreover, the energy wall he
conjured began to turn transparent, indicating that his reservoir of energy was weakening.
“Mr. Knox, why does Jared have so much energy in him? Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster like Xander is on the
brink of faltering,” Donald asked after watching the battle for some time.
Axton was equally baffled as to what Jared was trying to do.
“How can this be? Isn’t Jared just a Fifth Level Grandmaster? How can he have so much energy within him? Can it
be that he took an explosion pill before the battle?” Axton frowned curiously.

“Mr. Knox, wouldn’t it be suicide for him to take the pill? Furthermore, its effects only last for ten minutes, and they
have now fought for a much longer time than that,” Donald disagreed with Axton’s assessment.
Even though the explosion pill could enhance one’s power in a short time, it came at a price. Taking it would
damage one’s internal organs, on top of the fact that the pills’ effects wouldn’t last for long.
“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.
