BXBX NOVEL Chapter 541 - I Don’t Want To Regret
Under normal circumstances, she would have not even considered the second possibility, and simply rejected Jarid\'s request.
However, after what she had witnessed, she couldn\'t help but feel a little bit worried.
Though the Colosseum wouldn\'t make many losses if Jason were to win the bet thanks to the number of spectators and bets that had increased during the last few hours, the Olympians\' reputation was on the line.
It was already shocking that Jason could effortlessly defeat the Olympians, but if the same were to happen to Jarid, who was by far the most talented and known Olympian, it would be devastating.
Nevertheless, exposing everything Jarid had learned during the last few years in order to prepare himself for the liberation tournament was also not what anyone wanted!
.
In the end, it was Jarid\'s decision, but the receptionist couldn\'t help but feel that both decisions were not satisfying.
Jason had driven them into a corner, and now they couldn\'t escape without sacrificing something!
Unfortunately, the worst had yet to come, and the receptionist stiffened when she saw that Jarid pondered about something.
\'Is he trying to figure out whether he can crush Jason by giving his best...or if he can defeat him without doing so?..."
Neither was correct and what Jarid was thinking about was something completely different.
"If I go all out, I should be able to defeat him...I think."
The Olympians and receptionist were staring at Jarid as if he had just lost his sanity.
Suddenly one of the youngest Olympians, who had always seen Jarid as her idol, stepped forward.
"You can\'t be serious?!? The silver-dragon masked man is just at the peak of the 1st Lique stage!! How can he be strong enough to face you if you utilize your full potential?? Even those at the 9th Lique stage have problems fighting you for more than five minutes!!"
The others couldn\'t help but nod their heads. Their youngest member had spoken the doubt that had been lingering on everybody else\'s mind, but Jarid could only shake his head.
"And who says that the man behind the silver dragon mask can\'t do the same?" With that being said, Jarid took a step forward before he grabbed the railing in front of him.
A mysterious smile appeared on his face and it was the first time for the Olympians, let alone the receptionist to see Jarid being excited.
The words he had just said rattled everyone, but instead of saying anything, they decided to be quiet.
Only a few hours passed before Jason had finally defeated the 49th opponent.
He had received many lengthy breaks which was unexpected.
Not only his 49th victory increased the spectators\' tension, but also stalled time for more spectators, or to be more precise, bets to be made.
Ben seemed to be fine which caused Jason to sigh in relief, while the others were struggling to continue fighting.
They had reached the 60th round, which meant that their opponents were three ranks above their cultivation base.
This was still not enough to be at par with most of the God\'s Children but more than needed to pressure them.
Jason watched their battle, and couldn\'t suppress a faint smile.
\'They\'re improving extremely fast. The pressure is exactly what they need!\'
At the same time, Jason was also thinking about Jarid and everything he had perceived through his Emperor Eyes.
There were several reasons why the Ilian was so strong, but only one specific factor combined every single advantage he had.
Not only was his thunder affinity unique and even rare among his race, but Jarid had also a highly ranked Terra body refinement and cultivation technique.
Both techniques focused on increasing every possible characteristic of his thunder affinity, increasing his combat prowess further.
This would already be enough to allow Jarid to fight against an average being at the 8th Lique stage despite being at the peak of the 6th Lique stage.
However, that was not everything Jarid had!
Throughout the last few years, Jason had been unable to see many individuals with a special constitution.
Max Drake and his late master Dalia had been two such examples, and Jarid had become another being with a special constitution, according to Jason\'s Emperor Eyes.
Unexpectedly, Jarid\'s special constitution enhanced certain aspects of his thunder affinity.
Jason was not sure which that was, but during Jarid\'s short fight with Ben, he had been able to see something.
Jarid\'s constitution had been intentionally sealed!
This made it nearly impossible for others to perceive his physique.
Unfortunately, Jason was excluded and he sensed everything.
There were some details he had never seen before, but Jason was sure of one fact!
\'His constitution was still growing, and too strong for him to handle!\'
Even though Jason knew that Jarid was evidently unable to handle his constitution yet, he could sense the Olympian\'s excitement to fight him.
Because of that, Jason was sure that Jarid would unleash his constitution during their fight that was about to occur any moment.
They were only a few meters away from the arena in which their fight would be held.
Excitement radiated from both of them when they took the first step into the arena as their mana fluctuated wildly.
"Did you want to disguise your thunder body constitution to act like an underdog in the liberation tournament?"
Jason couldn\'t be sure about what he had just assumed, but from Jarid\'s behavior and that of the other Olympians in addition to the young receptionist, there were many things that made him believe that his assumptions had been correct.
He had also heard rumors about the Olympian Jarid that stated the same, and it was also said that the Olympians were using more resources than they had in the last couple of decades.
Combining everything known, the only logical solution was that the most talented Olympians wanted to increase their group\'s reputation and image.
Unfortunately, Jason had come into their way, tarnishing the Olympians\' reputation just a few months before the liberation tournament was about to start.
Jarid was simply staring at Jason as if his exposed secret didn\'t bother him.
"Well, that was my plan, and I assume that you, or to be precise the entire group following you will participate in the tournament too? I\'m sorry to say this, but the mask is useless and your identity has already been exposed to the colosseum.
Talking in the human language during a fight is not really the smartest move if one wants to hide their identity!"
It was annoying to hear that their identity had been exposed, but that was not something Jason or the others should be surprised about.
They had been talking in the human language on the elevation, right in front of hundreds of spectators, without even bothering about speaking quietly.
In the end, this was not really important for Jason anymore. He would get the fight he had been waiting for, and the colosseum couldn\'t immediately change their rules to assign opponents!
Their knowledge about soul worlds was too shallow for that!
While Jason just shrugged his shoulders, Jarid turned serious.
"Furthermore, if I were to be honest, I\'m not confident that I will defeat you in three months. At least, if I trust what my gut feeling tells me right now... My only chance is today, and I don\'t want to look back and regret not giving my best!!"
