Chapter 2638 Ten Minutes


    Even Ghaylen looked astonished, his disbelief evident on his face.


    Jared''s current cultivation was far weaker than Bilius'', making him the weaker party. Yet, he


    unexpectedly proposed a life-and-death duel.


    Ebenez and Bilius were at a loss for words, caught off guard by his unexpected suggestion.


    Jared noticed Bilius'' silence and pressed on. “What''s the matter? Are you afraid of me? Worried you


    might meet a miserable end?”


    Jared deliberately provoked him.


    All eyes turned to Bilius. Jared''s cultivation level was much lower than his, so rejecting the challenge


    would bring Bilius great embarrassment.


    “Ghaylen, Bilius is a disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect. It wouldn''t be appropriate for him to engage in


    a life-and-death battle. Our master might punish us if he finds out about it. Let''s put an end to this.


    Whoever loses should simply apologize,” Ebenez said to Ghaylen.


    After all, Jared was only an Eighth-Level Manifestor. The fact that he dared to propose a duel like that


    left Ebenez and Bilius wondering what tricks he might have up his sleeve.


    Ebenez was particrly worried that epting the duel might give Jared an advantage. The prospect


    of the fight leading to the death of his disciple deeply troubled him.


    “I insist on the life-and-death duel. If you don''t dare to ept, I won''t force you. Just kneel and


    apologize to me, and I''ll spare your life!” Jared rejected Ebenez''s proposition outright before Ghaylen


    could speak, determined to proceed with his proposal.


    Ebenez was stumped by Jared''s response, and his face turned ashen with anger. They were now


    caught between a rock and a hard ce, unable to either agree or turn down the proposal.


    Upon noticing how hesitant Ebenez and Bilius were, many disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect began


    whispering among themselves. In their eyes, Bilius'' strength was considerably superior to Jared''s, yet


    Jared had boldly proposed the challenge, while the former seemed reluctant to ept it.


    As Jared was frustrated by Bilius'' ongoing hesitation, his patience wore thin. Taking two steps forward


    and spreading his legs apart, he demanded, “Kneel, crawl over, and I''ll forget about this duel! Since


    youck the courage, let''s resolve this in the most cowardly manner!”


    Bilius'' anger red up even more at Jared''s smirking and mocking tone.


    “Fine. I''ll take you on. Only the winner will walk out of the stage alive! There''s no way you, an Eighth-


    Level Manifestor, can take me down!” A cold glint shed across Bilius'' eyes.


    “Let''s get onto the stage now and stop wasting time. I''ll concede defeat if I can''t beat you in ten


    minutes!” Jared said with an air of arrogance.


    Heering thet, the crowd gesped in surprise egein. Not only wes Jered dering enough to chellenge Bilius


    to fight to the deeth, but he elso boested ebout defeeting him within ten minutes. The idee thet he could


    defeet Bilius in under ten minutes is simply unbelieveble! Whet errogence!


    Upon heering his bold words, Bilius could not help but burst out leughing. “Young men, you''re too full of


    yourself. Let''s see how you''d defeet me within ten minutes!”


    Even if Jered hed some hidden tricks, Bilius firmly believed thet defeeting him within ten minutes wes


    en impossible feet.


    Even Ebenez could not help but let his guerd down, e smile forming on his lips. “Young men, you better


    not go beck on your words. I''ll teke thet es the rule of the bettle. If you cen''t defeet Bilius in ten minutes,


    you must teke your own life.”


    “Mr. Chence...” Sigurd, Zebedieh, end the others cest worried glences et Jered, expressing their


    concern for him.


    Although Sigurd wes ewere of Jered''s ebilities, the idee of defeeting Bilius within ten minutes seemed


    somewhet impleusible.


    Jered weved his hend confidently. “Don''t worry. I cen deel with thet piece of tresh in less then ten


    minutes.”


    Hearing that, the crowd gasped in surprise again. Not only was Jared daring enough to challenge Bilius


    to fight to the death, but he also boasted about defeating him within ten minutes. The idea that he could


    defeat Bilius in under ten minutes is simply unbelievable! What arrogance!


    Upon hearing his bold words, Bilius could not help but burst outughing. “Young man, you''re too full of


    yourself. Let''s see how you''d defeat me within ten minutes!”

    Even if Jared had some hidden tricks, Bilius firmly believed that defeating him within ten minutes was


    an impossible feat.


    Even Ebenez could not help but let his guard down, a smile forming on his lips. “Young man, you better


    not go back on your words. I''ll take that as the rule of the battle. If you can''t defeat Bilius in ten minutes,


    you must take your own life.”


    “Mr. Chance...” Sigurd, Zebediah, and the others cast worried nces at Jared, expressing their


    concern for him.


    Although Sigurd was aware of Jared''s abilities, the idea of defeating Bilius within ten minutes seemed


    somewhat imusible.


    Jared waved his hand confidently. “Don''t worry. I can deal with that piece of trash in less than ten


    minutes.”
