Chapter 540 Unstoppable, Sean’s True Strength
Silence!
Unexpected silence!
Donald Sitwell’s words were earth-shattering and should have caused a huge sensation, but in an instant, the entire martial arena suddenly fell quiet, everyone wearing a look of shock, their hearts trembling fiercely, yet no one dared to speak at this moment!
The atmosphere on site became extremely oppressive!
Sean was stunned!
Turning his head to look at Donald Sitwell on the observation platform, the two met eyes across the space, both with sharp gazes. After a moment, Donald Sitwell spoke in a deep voice, “Buddha Academy, the Buddha Academy of North Kingdom, and I am the current crown prince of North Kingdom. This tournament is personally hosted by me!”
“So!”
“My words are the rules!”
The voice was not loud, but it was authoritative, forceful, and unchallengeable.
At this remark!
Whether it was Patric Harris standing on the combat platform, or Thomas Harris and Hendricks Carter sitting on the observation platform, anyone who did not approve of Sean was overjoyed, incredibly excited!
In contrast!
Including Pastiff and Hastiff, those from the Plainwater Town branch were ashen-faced!
“This…”
Pastiff stood up hesitantly, saying, “Your Highness, you…”
“How?”
Before Pastiff could voice his objection, Donald Sitwell directly cut him off, not even looking at him, coldly saying, “Would Lord Pastiff by any chance have reservations about the rules I’ve set?”
“I…”
Hastiff gritted his teeth, words at the tip of his tongue but swallowed back, shaking his head and saying, “I dare not. Your Highness’s words are weighty, naturally followed as law!”
After speaking!
He sat back down!
Helpless!
This was the capital of North Kingdom, and the royal family reigned supreme. Just as Donald Sitwell had said, Buddha Academy belonged to North Kingdom and was controlled by the royal family. Pastiff had exhausted all efforts. His intentions were nothing more than aiming for the position of the headmaster of Buddha Academy, but even if he were to succeed in taking over as the headmaster of North Kingdom’s national teacher, and ascend to the position of headmaster, what could he do?
He still had to obey the commands of the royal family!
Not to mention him!
What about the national teacher of North Kingdom? A figure of prominence, the current headmaster of Buddha Academy who had been almost on par with Albert Sitwell in the past, once losing power, everything became empty, unable to escape from the hands of the royal family!
So!
While Sean dared to offend Donald Sitwell, Pastiff did not have the authority or room to choose between Sean and Donald Sitwell, he had no choice or say in the matter. Even if he was unwilling, he had to reluctantly abandon Sean!!!
Witnessing this!
Betty Jefferson’s face turned green, her heart sinking to the bottom in an instant…
Chan, with a grave expression, said, “It looks like this arrogant fellow is in big trouble!”
“And then?”
Ken glanced at him, saying, “If he dies, you will still be the first in the Plainwater Town branch!”
Chan ignored him!
“Great Ape!”
After a moment, Donald Sitwell directly asked Sean, “Now, are you willing to accept Patric Harris’s challenge of life and death?”
Willing!
Of course, willing!
Sean had been waiting for this moment, for Donald Sitwell to suddenly come out in support of Patric Harris. To others, it was a disaster for Sean, but little did they know, this played right into Sean’s hands. For Sean, it was like being given food when hungry, and a pillow when tired, damn, what divine assistance!
Therefore!
Sean pretended to hesitate for a moment, then reluctantly nodded, saying, “Since Patric Harris is bent on seeking death and Your Highness wishes to use me to dispose of him, then…”
“Fine!”
“I’ll give Your Highness this face and see him off!”
Damn it!
As Sean’s words reached the ears of the surrounding people, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes, wanting to curse. They couldn’t understand how, in such dire straits, faced with a formidable opponent in the later stages of dark energy like Patric Harris, where did Sean get the confidence to remain calm, unfazed, and even crack jokes!
Moreover!
He had the mood and courage to boast and banter here in such a predicament!
“Shameless boasting!”
Patric Harris snorted coldly, scoffing at Sean’s arrogant words, angrily saying, “Just because you won against Felix Drake by taking advantage of a fluke, doesn’t mean you can swagger in front of me!”
“The second round!”
“You won’t have another chance to participate!!!”
Whoosh!
As soon as these words were spoken, Patric Harris, unable to contain his overwhelming murderous intent, released it completely. His dark energy surged fiercely within him, transforming him into a ghostly phantom, rushing towards Sean in a single step, much faster than Felix Drake, even though they were both in the later stages of dark energy, they were of completely different calibers!
The vast combat platform became the battlefield of Sean and Patric Harris!
Under the gaze of the public!
A fight to the death!
Everyone widened their eyes, their hearts reaching their throats, staring intently at Sean and Patric Harris, afraid of missing any details of the battle. Their anxiety about this fight far exceeded the three previous large-scale combats.
They saw!
Facing Patric Harris’s swift attack, Sean did not choose to dodge like he did against Felix Drake, but rather, quite the opposite, he decisively faced the challenge head-on, raising his fist and fiercely engaging with Patric Harris!
He wanted to test, to suppress his own realm to the middle stage of dark energy, and directly confront the formidable late-stage dark energy expert, to see what the effect would be!
Boom!!!
The next moment, their fists clashed, dark energy surged, exploding like thunder!
Following that!
Just after two or three seconds of a stalemate, both of them mutually withdrew, thrown back by each other’s dark energy. Sean retreated about five meters before stabilizing his position, while Patric Harris was in a similar state, thrown back five meters!
This punch!NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
It was a draw, evenly matched, at a standstill!!!
Seeing this!
Everyone’s eyelids flickered, their hearts trembling, expressions of astonishment on their faces. Clearly, they did not expect Sean to be this strong, to hold his ground against Patric Harris in a draw, not falling into a disadvantage!
This!
Contrasted greatly with Sean’s performance against Felix Drake earlier!
“So…”
As the one directly involved, no one understood this more explicitly than Patric Harris. No one was more shocked than Patric Harris, with profound shock in his heart. His pupils constricted, staring like a wolf at Sean, and grunting, “You’ve been hiding your true strength all along!”
“Correct!”
Sean admitted frankly, a sly smile playing at the corner of his mouth, saying, “If not so, where did you get the courage to challenge me? Dealing with trash like Felix Drake was not enough for me to go all out!”
Pfft!
Under the combat platform among the Whitefall group, Felix Drake, only just waking up after fainting earlier, was hit hard by Sean’s words. Damn… he sprayed a mouthful of old blood at the realization!
For that!
Although Patric Harris was taken aback, somewhat surprised, he felt no fear. Disdainfully saying, “Hiding your head but revealing your tail, petty tricks, do you think you can surprise and win against me like this?”
“Dream on!!!”
With those words!
Patric Harris’s massive body trembled, his aura skyrocketed once again. Clearly, before this, he had made ample preparations, not being consumed by anger and underestimating Sean!
Following that!
Patric Harris transformed into an arrow leaving the bow, accompanied by a sharp breaking sound, charging towards Sean once again!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom boom boom!!!
For the next five minutes, Sean and Patric Harris were completely embroiled in battle, their figures flashing, the booming sound of their clashes echoing like thunder. They fought fiercely for dozens of moves, giving it their all, overflowing with killing intent!
They had gone mad!
Completely lost it!
Except for the old folks on the combat platform, the surrounding academy disciples were dazzled, unable to keep up with their movements or follow their rhythm, only judging their locations based on the continuous sounds!
“Could it be…”
“Indeed a peerless martial arts genius who walks ninety-nine meters out of a hundred in a one-hundred-meter bamboo forest, the abilities of Great Ape, even in the capital headquarters, it would be difficult to find someone to compare!”
“Now, this is his true strength!!!”
Among the crowd, discussions once again arose. With the earlier first clash between punches resulting in a draw, and Sean being able to hold his ground for dozens of subsequent attacks, his combat power was terrifying!
After all!
Patric Harris himself was a disciple of the capital headquarters, a standout in the late stage of dark energy, and also the direct bloodline of the Harris family. With extraordinary talent, on top of being a stage above Sean, in such circumstances, any disciple in the middle stage of dark energy around would probably have long been defeated, or even directly overwhelmed by Patric Harris!
Without a comparison, the gap cannot be seen!
“It’s over!”
Dana, standing at the bottom of the platform, her face ashen, gritted her teeth and thought, “Great Ape, must die today!!!”
Indeed!
At this point, Dana could see very clearly that once she faced Sean in the later stages of dark energy, she would undoubtedly lose. Therefore, as long as Sean was alive, her chance of becoming the first was almost zero!
“Damn it!!”
But it wasn’t just Dana who was worried. Hendricks Carter on the observation platform also had an unpleasant expression, looking as if he had eaten shit. He knew Patric Harris’s strength very well. If Patric Harris participated in the tournament, he could at least make it to the finals and even have a chance at victory!
With the current situation, whatever Patric Harris could achieve, Sean should be able to as well!
Furthermore!
Once the dark energy mid-stage finals were finished, and the dark energy mid-stage finals were prioritized, by the time the dark energy mid-stage finals were over, Sean could break through and advance to the dark energy later-stage to participate!
Damn!
Looking at this batch of dark energy later-stage branch disciples, who could stop Sean from winning in the later stages of dark energy??
The more he thought!
The more worried Hendricks Carter became!
Therefore!
Taking a deep breath, Hendricks Carter looked at Donald Sitwell sitting next to him, lowering his voice, saying, “Your Highness, Great Ape is indeed a rare martial arts genius with exceptional talent!”
“Someone like him cannot be used by me, he must be killed by me!”
“Otherwise!”
“If he holds a grudge against Your Highness, against the North Kingdom royal family, it will be an endless trouble. While he’s still not fully fledged, he must be eradicated to address future concerns!!!”
Initially!
Hendricks Carter only wanted to impede Sean from winning the championship and was not planning to kill Sean!
And now!
He wanted nothing more than to rush onto the combat platform himself and kill Sean with one slap!
“No worries!”
Unexpectedly, what Hendricks Carter did not anticipate was that Donald Sitwell didn’t seem rushed. Shaking his head, he confidently said, “I have my arrangements; Lord Carter need not worry!”
Hendricks Carter was taken aback!
Boom!!!
Just at that moment, following a piercing explosive sound, Sean and Patric Harris’s entanglement finally came to an end. With Patric Harris after the fierce prolonged battle, high-intensity rapid consumption, it was evident that the red light was on in his core, nearly out of energy!
In comparison!
While Sean’s complexion wasn’t great either, his aura was much steadier than Patric Harris’s. It seemed… his dark energy was more abundant, and the previous extensive consumption hadn’t pushed him to an exhausted state!
The reason was simple!
Sean was a genuine bright energy powerhouse, with a vast bright energy in his core, transformed from dark energy. Conversely, bright energy could also be reconverted into dark energy for combat if need be!
Moreover!
Compared to a dark energy practitioner’s internal dark energy, dark energy converted from bright energy was purer and more potent, with greater killing power. Aside from bloodline reasons, this was another significant reason why Sean, a realm lower than Patric Harris, remained unyielding.
Therefore!
Sean’s dark energy was almost continuous, and for Patric Harris to endure a protracted battle with him?
Hah!
That would be tantamount to courting death!!!
“Now, do you still think that I am trying to end your life is a pipe dream?”
Speaking!
Sean took a step forward, walking directly towards Patric Harris!
“Impossible!”
“Is this impossible!!!”
Patric Harris, panting heavily, looking at Sean approaching, had a strong sense of fear growing within him. Having reached this stage of the fight, he had already deeply realized Sean’s strength far surpassed his previous imagination, and he, most likely, was going to suffer a loss at Sean’s hands!
Therefore!
He involuntarily took a few steps back while saying, “How… how can you be this strong? How can a person in the middle stage of dark energy be this powerful?”
His worldview was collapsing!
“Strong?”
Sean shook his head, coldly snorting, “You are wrong. It’s not that I am too strong, it’s that you are too weak!”
With just one sentence!
Causing a chilling sensation among the surrounding academy disciples, even those in the later stages of dark energy, no one dared to say that Patric Harris was weak!
And yet!
Coming from Sean, who was in the middle stage of dark energy!
Making people shiver was that while it sounded like he was bragging, no one could refute his claim!
“You!”
“Ready to meet your end?”
Sean didn’t give Patric Harris a chance to speak anymore. Suddenly accelerating his steps, he turned into a phantom, raising his fist and swung it fiercely towards Patric Harris!
“You’re looking for death!!!”
Thomas Harris erupted in anger, almost charging towards the combat platform the moment Sean raised his fist, his surging aura lashing out, heading straight for Sean!!!
