This round of defense test allowed contestants to have multiple chances. If they felt that they can challenge a higher difficulty, they can choose to try again.
As soon as the words fell, Jackson's eyes flickered and he shouted loudly on the stage, "Me! I choose to increase my attack intensity to the peak of Uppecia later!"
He turned his head and looked at Lachlan who had just gotten up. "Landon, come on! Let's continue! You said your defense is strong. Don't back down just because of some minor injuries."
Hugo grinned. "That's right! Whether or not you can help the Graham family save face depends on you!"
Their goal was to kill Lachlan or at least severely injure him so that he couldn't participate in the remaining tests.
If this happened, even if Callum from the Graham family was very strong, it would be certain that they would lose their qualification for Ancient Martial Arts Alliance.
How could Lachlan stand up now? Of course, he had no choice but to continue!
Meanwhile Arlo sneered and mocked loudly, "I don't think he dares anymore. This kind of trash only has this much ability! I really don't understand where he gets his courage from fighting with me!"
"Trash, get off quickly! The attack intensity in Uppecia later period is already your limit. Don't embarrass yourself in front of so many people!" The Hernandez family's young master added fuel to fire by belittling and provoking Lachlan.
Everyone present watched with great interest like watching a monkey show.
Many people also had an expectant look on their faces waiting for how Lachlan would respond.
"Landon, enough is enough!" Savannah anxiously shouted out, "You have already held out against attacks from Uppecia later period with your strength in mid-period which is impressive!"
"Come back quickly!"
"Your result won't be eliminated!"
"Stop while you're ahead!"
Sophie also cried out urgently.
However at this moment, Lachlan just stared at Jackson with red eyes completely lost in rage. He ignored Savannah's and Sophie's words completely.
"Bring it on then! Let's continue!" He wiped away blood stains from his mouth corner fiercely, and roared lowly towards the Hudpids Sect disciple who adjusted attack intensity, "Adjust mine too until it reaches peak level of Uppecia later period!"
The female disciple sneered disdainfully without saying anything but did what she was told anyway.
"He's such a brainless idiot," Phoebe muttered under her breath.
"Haha, yeah..."
"Isn't he just asking to be played?"
"Don't you know what it means to die with dignity? Even if you're going to die, you still have to save face. Haha..."
Everyone looked at Lachlan like he was an idiot.
Phoebe shook her head, thinking she should have let Arlo beat him up yesterday. It would have saved them all from this embarrassment.
Savannah and Sophie looked worried and desperate.
It was over! Lachlan wasn't listening to reason and dared choose the peak attack strength of Uppecia's later stage?
He was only in the middle stage of Uppecia! Even if he didn't die from the attack, he would be seriously injured. Not only could his body be crippled but there would also be no hope for him in the following assessment.
This time, four people including Lachlan and Jackson chose to increase their strength even further.
On top of the platform, Isabel and other judges saw that Lachlan was being "reckless" but they didn't stop him. If someone wanted to commit suicide, then it had nothing to do with them.
Moreover, Lachlan's recklessness and vanity made them despise him even more.
"Get ready!"
"Attack!" Isabel gave the order as Copper Man launched another attack.
This time, Jackson's face also became serious, and he was filled with energy, gritting his teeth in preparation.
He was using the late-stage Uppecia to deal with Landon's late-stage peak attacks, which was actually a very risky move. He had even prepared himself to get injured.
But as long as he could defeat or even kill "Landon," it would be worth it, even if he suffered severe injuries.
After all, even if he couldn't participate in the assessment, the Wood family still had Hugo and other juniors. There was no need to worry about preserving the family's status.
