Chapter 505 Bet Big, I’m Going to Take Betty Jefferson
Ninety-three meters, ranked among the top three in the history of the Plainwater Town branch, the difficulty is self-evident. As Hastiff’s voice fell, the disciples outside the branch couldn’t help but whisper. Sean’s ears twitched, catching more about the hundred-meter bamboo forest from their conversation!
As it turns out, as Hastiff said, the hundred-meter bamboo forest is like a talent detector. Anyone who activates their bloodline and treads the path of martial arts can enter it. What’s peculiar about the formation of the hundred-meter bamboo forest is that it can disregard the entrant’s realm. Whether you enter in the early stages of dark energy or at its peak, the formation will automatically create resistance based on your realm.
So generally, when you are still in the early stages of dark energy, you can only walk eighty meters. So, even if you become a master at the peak of dark energy later on, you will still only be able to walk eighty meters. Talent and bloodlines won’t change based on your realm!
Of course, there are exceptions! For example, if you have some unusual encounters, refine top-grade elixirs, or seize someone else’s bloodline, causing a significant improvement in your innate talent and bloodline, when you enter the hundred-meter bamboo forest again, you will achieve better results!
Moreover, ninety meters is a threshold! According to the disciples of the academy, anyone who can walk more than ninety meters in the hundred-meter bamboo forest is extraordinary. As long as they don’t die, they can reach the Complete Stage and have hope of advancing to bright energy!
However, it’s just hope, the probability is not high! Ninety-five meters is another threshold. Those who exceed ninety-five meters greatly increase their chances of advancing to bright energy, even exceeding fifty percent!
So, although there is no precise data support, including Hastiff, everyone in the Buddha Academy privately believes that ninety meters is the threshold for coveting the path to bright energy in the future. Don’t even think about it if it’s below ninety meters, but above ninety meters, every step is a day, every meter is a level. Each meter walked out represents a thousand difficulties. Each meter walked out signifies a ten percent greater hope of reaching bright energy!
Ninety-three meters! It represents a thirty percent chance!
Ninety-five meters! It represents a fifty percent chance!
As for… one hundred meters??? There has never been such a peerless genius. Not to mention the Plainwater Town branch, even the entire Buddha Academy, including the main capital branch, has never had anyone able to complete the entire journey of the hundred-meter bamboo forest during the dark energy era!!!
“Good!” Upon hearing Hastiff’s proposal, Gloy Jefferson was stunned for a moment, then readily nodded, “I accept Mr. Hastiff’s proposal, using Jiang Cheng’s performance in the hundred-meter bamboo forest as the benchmark!”
As he spoke, Gloy Jefferson looked coldly at Sean and sneered, “I just wonder if Mr. Great is so arrogant, how much talent does he dare to compare?”
For a result like ninety-three meters, Gloy Jefferson was very confident. He was once a disciple of the Plainwater Town branch and had personally walked through the hundred-meter bamboo forest, knowing well its difficulty!
Back then, Gloy Jefferson had only walked eighty-five meters, which was already a very good result. Now, he has successfully advanced to the Complete Stage and become the head of the Jefferson family!
Exceeding ninety-three meters? What a joke! Even in the history of the Plainwater Town branch, only two people have walked a distance greater than ninety-three meters. One of them is Hastiff’s junior, Lord of the main capital branch, and half-step bright energy, Pastiff!
Pastiff walked ninety-four meters, only one meter higher than Tommy, and now, he is just a half-step away from becoming a true bright energy powerhouse!
As for Hastiff… he walked ninety-one meters, slightly inferior to Pastiff in talent. Hastiff’s ability to advance to the current half-step bright energy is largely thanks to Pastiff’s help!
Although Sean’s speed and the might of that punch just now were astounding, Gloy Jefferson did not believe that Sean’s talent could surpass Tommy’s or rival Pastiff’s!
“Dare you not?” Facing Gloy Jefferson’s challenge, Sean retorted, “When you lose, Mr. Jefferson, don’t shamelessly try to wriggle out of it!”
Talent? Sean also wanted to try how far he could go and see how high his talent could be!
“Stubborn!” Gloy Jefferson said, “Since Mr. Great is so confident, dare you to raise the stakes and bet big?”
“Oh?” Sean raised an eyebrow, “What does Mr. Jefferson want to bet?”
After some consideration, Gloy Jefferson said in a deep voice, “If you lose, just an apology won’t be enough. I will make you kneel and apologize to Betty in front of all the disciples of the Plainwater Town branch!”
“And furthermore!” “After the academy’s martial arts competition, cut off your own hands and tongue as a form of punishment!!!”
Sure enough, Gloy Jefferson didn’t want to let Sean off lightly. You want to “instruct” Betty Jefferson’s swordsmanship? Fine, then I’ll cut off your hands so you can’t instruct her anymore! You like to talk big? Fine, then I’ll cut off your tongue so you can’t speak anymore, let’s see how you act arrogant then!!!
Gloy Jefferson’s conditions made the disciples outside gasp in disbelief!
Damn! That’s really harsh!
Hastiff’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t speak up. As the saying goes, after the academy’s martial arts competition, Sean had already lost his value, dead or alive, what did it have to do with him?
Sean asked calmly, “What if Mr. Jefferson loses?”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Gloy Jefferson countered, “What do you want?”
Sean casually said, “Since it’s a bet, the stakes naturally have to be even. How about… including all members of the Jefferson family present today, including Mr. Jefferson, kneel and apologize to me in front of all the disciples of the Plainwater Town branch!”
“And furthermore!” “I will take Miss Jefferson as my own from now on. From now on, let her follow me, serving me as a slave, and regarding me as her master!”
“What does Mr. Jefferson think?”
At these words, the faces of the Jefferson family all changed, filled with raging anger, glaring at Sean. They thought, who the hell do you think you are, how dare you be so arrogant, you simply don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
“Good!” Despite the anger, Gloy Jefferson readily agreed. He suddenly punched a nearby stone stool without hesitation. Accompanied by a piercing explosion, the stool instantly shattered, and debris flew everywhere!
“Mr. Hastiff can testify. Anyone who dares to go back on their word will end up like this stool!”
Gloy Jefferson’s momentum was overwhelming! Sean completely disregarded Gloy Jefferson’s threat and turned to Hastiff, gesturing, “Actions speak louder than words. Please lead the way, Mr. Hastiff, to the hundred-meter bamboo forest.”
“Hmm,” Hastiff nodded and led the way, leaving the branch towards the bamboo forest located in the northeast corner of the Buddha Academy!
Sean and Gloy Jefferson followed closely behind, while the disciples outside the branch followed at the rear, in groups of three to five, discussing excitedly, unable to conceal their anticipation.
Evidently, they were also looking forward to what this fellow named Great Ape, who defeated Chan with just sixteen moves yesterday, could achieve in the hundred-meter bamboo forest today!
Along the way, the commotion here attracted the attention of more disciples, and as a result, more and more disciples gathered. Even Chan and Wang Tai, who were defeated by Sean yesterday, quietly appeared in the crowd, observing from a distance. They wanted to know what kind of talent the person who defeated them truly possessed!
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the bamboo forest!!!
