Chapter 509: The Outcome is Clear
At this moment, Hastiff suddenly regretted personally entering the hundred-meter bamboo forest. Gloy Jefferson and those Jefferson family cultivators were all in a sorry state. In front of all the disciples, if he were to follow in the footsteps of Gloy Jefferson and others, being overtaken by Sean, where would that leave his position as the dean?
However!
What Hastiff didn’t know was that at this moment of his worries, Sean was secretly hesitating: “It’s only a hundred meters, should I complete the entire distance? If I walk the whole way, would it be too ostentatious? Would it seem like I’m showing off, too unconventional, too gifted?”
“If I don’t walk the entire distance, then…”
“How many meters would be appropriate?”
With this in mind, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Sean took another step forward and continued to move forward!
The next moment!
Accompanied by the sound of rumbling, the stone lions on both sides of the eighty-six meters spun around!
Success!
For ordinary academy disciples, the pressure at eighty-six meters was already tremendous, so much so that ninety percent of the academy disciples couldn’t bear it!
But!
As Sean walked, he appeared to be as leisurely as a walk in the park, looking completely at ease!
People, oh, the envy!
Damn!
Eighty-seven meters, eighty-eight meters, eighty-nine meters!
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Sean deliberately slowed down his pace and tried to appear somewhat strained. It took him about three minutes to reach the position behind Hastiff. Seeing Hastiff still standing at ninety meters, motionless, Sean furrowed his brow and asked, “Mr. Hastiff, why aren’t you walking?”
Hastiff’s previous record in his youth was ninety-one meters. Considering his current bloodline talent, he must have made some progress beyond ninety meters, so at this point, ninety meters definitely wasn’t Hastiff’s limit!
“Heh heh!”
Hastiff shook his head and said, “I have long been aware of my own potential. The only reason I entered with Mr. Great was to set an example for Mr. Great.”
“Now that Mr. Great has reached eighty-nine meters, taking one more step forward secures your qualification to leave your name on the Hero Monument. This is your moment of glory, I naturally should step aside and not steal your thunder…”
It sounded… quite reasonable!
After saying that, Hastiff decisively walked out of the formation range of the hundred-meter bamboo forest!
It seemed… very graceful!
But the reality was that Hastiff was worried. If he continued to move forward and was overtaken by Sean in front of everyone, it would be embarrassing. So, he cleverly chose to proactively withdraw and found such a grand excuse, not only resolving the urgent situation, but also enhancing his own image in the minds of the academy disciples, a move that could be called a double victory!
Sly old fox!
Sean cursed silently as he stared at Hastiff’s figure. Almost at the moment Hastiff walked out of the formation range, Sean stood at the position where Hastiff had just stood, and the two stone lions that had just spun around immediately turned back!
Ninety meters!
Without any surprise or suspense, Sean successfully walked ninety meters, earning the qualification to leave his name on the Hero Monument, coming very close to Tommy’s ninety-three meters!
Close at hand!
Including Chan and Ken, the academy disciples at the entrance held their breath, staring intently at every move Sean made. Their hearts were pounding, more excited and nervous than when they themselves entered the hundred-meter bamboo forest!
After all!
Since the founding of the Plainwater Town branch, only seventeen people had walked more than ninety meters and left their names on the Hero Monument. Many generations of disciples had failed to achieve this, at least among the hundreds of current academy disciples, Chan’s eighty-nine meters was the best result, whether it was early dark energy, mid dark energy, or late dark energy!
And now!
Sean had broken Chan’s record. For these academy disciples, every meter Sean walked forward was a historic moment!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
In the next five minutes, Sean walked three more meters, reaching the result Tommy had achieved. However, his speed slowed down, no longer appearing as relaxed as before, seeming somewhat “difficult,” and it was becoming increasingly “difficult”!
“Tied!”
“Tied with Tommy!”
“As long as Great Ape can hold on, even if he walks one more meter, surpassing Tommy, and tying for second place with the Lords from the capital main branch, he will win today’s bet between Jefferson family!”
A sigh of admiration spread through the crowd!
Ken gritted his teeth and said, “It seems that not only did I greatly underestimate this kid’s combat power, but I also greatly underestimated his talent and potential!”
“Losing toa person like this is not unfair!”
“I admit defeat!”
Just like Chan’s attitude after yesterday’s defeat, he admitted defeat!
Chan admitted defeat!
Ken now completely admitted defeat!
You know!NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Ken’s performance in the hundred-meter bamboo forest was not even as good as Chan’s, only eighty-five meters, the same as Gloy Jefferson’s achievement in his youth!
“Don’t be hasty!”
Chan’s eyes were sharp as knives, staring at Sean’s back, and he said in a deep voice, “This is not his limit yet!”
“Perhaps!”
“He will bring us even greater surprises today!”
At these words!
Ken’s pupils suddenly contracted, he was very much looking forward to where Sean’s limit was!!!
On the contrary!
Those Jefferson family cultivators who had been blown away by the formation were all grim-faced and ashen. The thought of having to kowtow in public and apologize to Sean if they lost the bet made them wish they could run away immediately!
It’s just boasting, who hasn’t boasted before?
However!
Who could have imagined that the boasting of this little bastard Sean would all come true, not just empty talk, but really impressive!
“Mr. Jefferson!”
A moment later, when Sean successfully walked ninety-four meters, he ignored the surrounding exclamations of admiration and instead turned to look at Gloy Jefferson, who was sitting outside the formation, eyes closed and recuperating. He smiled and said, “Sorry, I won, you lost!”
Puff!
Gloy Jefferson had rested for half a day, and had finally recovered most of the damage caused by the formation to him. Upon hearing Sean’s words, he opened his eyes and took a look. At this moment, not only did he spit out another mouthful of old blood, his injuries worsened once again!
What the hell?
In the time it took to take a nap, Sean had already walked ninety-four meters, surpassing Tommy’s record???
Damn!
Gloy Jefferson’s face turned green!
“Mr. Jefferson, do you still want me to kowtow until my head breaks and blood flows? I told you, you don’t have that chance!”
Sean’s smile on his face became even more brilliant. He continued, “However, your chance has come. The outcome is clear now. Mr. Jefferson, you can start your performance, bring all those idiots from your Jefferson family over here to kowtow and apologize to me, pray for me, just as Mr. Jefferson said, kowtow until my head breaks and blood flows!”
“Perhaps!”
“If my mood improves, I can walk a few more meters, break Romanov’s record of ninety-seven meters!”
At these words!
Gloy Jefferson’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he felt the urge to spew blood again. He had lost, but he had not expected that this little bastard Sean would be so shameless, so impatient. Sean walked in the middle of the formation, making them kowtow on both sides of the formation, cheering him on?
Too shameless…
