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.
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.”
