Chapter 507: The Power of the Formation, Your Whole Family Are Fools
With this doubt in mind, Sean continued forward without a change in expression, thinking to himself that perhaps more obvious resistance would appear ahead.
Otherwise! Would the formation that enveloped the hundred-meter bamboo forest render it desolate?
“Mr. Great!”
When Sean reached over forty meters, Hastiff, who had already advanced fifty meters, suddenly stopped, turned back, and smiled, asking Sean, “How does it feel?”
“Feels…” Sean shrugged, shaking his head. “I still don’t feel anything for the time being. This so-called hundred-meter bamboo forest seems somewhat underwhelming.”
At these words, Hastiff’s smile froze on his face.
Sure enough, I shouldn’t have asked, bringing trouble upon myself!
Meanwhile, Gloy Jefferson, with a cold face, snorted, “It’s okay for young people to be inexperienced, but taking ignorance as a capital for arrogance is being ignorant of one’s own limitations!”
To this, Sean disdained to argue. He spoke the truth. At least so far, he still genuinely felt nothing!
Helpless, Gloy Jefferson, unable himself and seeing others fail, now deemed Sean incapable. He couldn’t tell whose knowledge was shallow and who didn’t understand the situation!
“Mr. Great, don’t be hasty!” Hastiff advised. “Never underestimate the power of the formation in the hundred-meter bamboo forest. Those who activate their bloodlines can generally pass the test of the first fifty meters. The real test of talent lies in the next fifty meters.”
“Especially after eighty meters, almost every meter can stop numerous young disciples!”
“Heh heh!”
“Speaking more is pointless. Mr. Great, experiencing it for yourself will naturally make the difficulty clear!”
With that, Hastiff stepped forward, not giving Sean a chance to respond, fearing that Sean might say something arrogant and unrestrained, leaving him embarrassed.
Gloy Jefferson followed directly behind!
“Is that so?” Regarding Hastiff’s explanation, Sean was skeptical, thinking it would be better this way. Otherwise, it would be dull to walk through as easily as usual. So, Sean raised his head and strode forward. In the blink of an eye, he had surpassed fifty meters, causing the stone lions on both sides to clatter and some to even fall out of sync with Sean’s pace. Just as they turned halfway, Sean had already moved on to the next meter!
Shameless!
This scene left the dozen or so expert Jefferson family members trailing behind Sean speechless.
Could it really be as easy as he said?
Little did they know, when those Jefferson family experts reached over forty meters, they had already encountered significant resistance, and their speed had noticeably slowed compared to the beginning.
“Is that it?” Sean stopped briefly at fifty-eight meters, feeling increasingly puzzled. It was one thing to feel nothing in the first fifty meters, but now that over half the distance had been covered, walking as effortlessly as ever was truly inexplicable!
What’s going on here?
Deciding to speed up, Sean caught up with Gloy Jefferson at sixty-nine meters and Hastiff at seventy meters.
Seeing this, the Jefferson family experts trailing behind turned pale, sweating profusely on their foreheads.
“What’s happening?” One of them took a deep breath, staring at Sean’s casual figure, incredulously saying, “At just fifty-five meters, I already need to concentrate and use nearly half of my dark energy to cope with the pressure of the formation. I dare not slack off in the slightest. But he, he’s caught up, overtaking our family head and Mr. Hastiff!”
“Could it be… his talent is really as remarkable as he boasted?”
Indeed! Boasted!
Initially, they had sneered at Sean’s arrogant words, but now, they were starting to believe them. People can lie, but the formation of the hundred-meter bamboo forest cannot!
Another Jefferson family expert couldn’t help but remark with a solemn expression, “This person could make a name for himself in Plainwater Town, gain such attention from Mr. Hastiff, engage in cross-border combat, and dare to accept the challenge of the ninety-three-meter bamboo forest. It seems… he’s definitely not just arrogantly confident!”
Truth be told, they were starting to worry. What if Sean was a prodigy who truly surpassed Tommy’s ninety-three meters? What would be the Jefferson family’s position then?
Surely, they couldn’t bow and apologize in front of everyone?
They were starting to panic a little.
Yet, it wasn’t just them panicking. Seeing the stone lions on both sides spinning wildly and Sean approaching at an incredible speed, Gloy Jefferson was also taken aback.
“You!” He turned to look at Sean, who was just a meter away, and exclaimed, “How did you get here? How can you be so fast?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Fast!
Too fast!
Beyond fifty meters, even a Complete Stage expert like Gloy Jeffersonwould need to be cautious, carefully managing their internal dark energy and preparing for the final sprint. However, this fellow, Sean, recklessly charged forward like a brute, completely disregarding the consequences! Forward! Forward! Forward!
“Fast?” Sean raised an eyebrow, shaking his head. “I’m not too fast. It’s Mr. Jefferson who’s too slow, crawling like a snail that can barely move. I’ve seen it all, and it’s quite a struggle for you!”
With just these words, Gloy Jefferson’s face turned ashen, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
“You little brat! Just wait and see how long you can remain arrogant!” Gloy Jefferson refused to believe that Sean’s recklessness would yield any good results.
Consequently, Gloy Jefferson hastened his pace!
“Fool!” Sean muttered under his breath, and though his voice was not loud, it did not escape the ears of Gloy Jefferson and the other Jefferson family experts. Immediately, someone angrily retorted, “Who are you calling a fool?”
“Don’t worry, I wasn’t talking about you!” Sean glanced back at the Jefferson family expert. At this, the expert’s expression eased slightly. But then Sean continued, “I was referring to all of you in the Jefferson family! Every single one of you is a fool!”
In an instant, the Jefferson family expert’s face turned the color of pig’s liver, his dark energy surged, and he nearly lost control.
If they had been outside the formation, this agitation could have been easily controlled. However, within the formation, under the immense pressure, the Jefferson family expert, in a moment of carelessness, suffered a backlash from the formation. Unable to hold back, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown by an invisible force, landing in a sorry state outside the stone lions, marking the end of his test in the hundred-meter bamboo forest.
Sixty-one meters!
Given the talent and strength of that Jefferson family expert, if everything had gone smoothly, he could have easily walked over seventy meters, even surpassing eighty meters.
But the result…
One misstep leads to a thousand regrets. With just a few words from Sean, his focus was shattered, and his result was fixed at a pitiful sixty-one meters!
“Oh!” Sean chuckled, a look of schadenfreude on his face as he looked at the Jefferson family expert. “There’s no need to cooperate with me like this, is there? I say you’re a fool, and you immediately prove it with your actions. You’re so sincere, it’s making me a little embarrassed…”
Before Sean could finish, the Jefferson family expert, who had just sat up, spat out blood once again, not due to the formation’s backlash this time, but because Sean had enraged him!!!
