“He’s despicable and shameless. Once we get home, Great-grandpa will be giving him a good beating and lecturing.” Noel tried to please Jenson.
Jenson shook his hand at him. “That’s not necessary. I’ll be the one teaching him a lesson later.”
Noel showed him a bright smile.
“This kid is just delightful.”
Jenson walked into the barrier platform, and Elder Master Rod said to him frankly, “Boy, Master might as well tell you the truth now. Later, I’ll use the materials gathered from the spot, the long rods, to fight you. You might as well use the same weapon to compete with me, hmm?”
Jenson was slightly dazed. This was his grandma’s Master?
Jenson ridiculed. “Can I choose a gun?”
Elder Master Rod said, “Pfft, if you choose a gun, then what’s the point in me competing?”
Jenson said, “Oh.”
Every person with a discerning eye could see that this barrier competition was deliberately made to suppress Jenson.
Jenson walked to the weapon stand and finally picked up a ball of coiled steel wire into his arms.
Elder Master Rod asked in confusion, “Why did you choose that thing? It’s not even a weapon.”
Jenson retorted, “That’s because your skills aren’t sufficient. Once you’ve reached a certain stage of martial arts skills, everything is a weapon.”
Elder Master Rod admitted his defeat. “You’re just bullying me for my bad eyesight, huh, kid?”
The crowd burst into applause.
Cole said in a displeased manner, “He’s merely jumping around like a monkey and only hid the whole time. He barely attacked and used the old man’s bad eyesight to his advantage. It’s not even satisfying when he won.”
Grand Old Master Yorks spat at him. “Pah! He won it fair and square. You have to admit that Jenson is outstanding, and he didn’t even get any injuries.”
Cole retorted sourly, “There are still nine other checkpoints. He’ll be truly outstanding if he passes them all.”
The grand old master said, “These ten elder masters were your aunt’s masters. Even back then, your aunt won at most only seven of them. How could it be possible for Jenson to win over ten elder masters when he’s this young? It’s incredible for him to defeat just one of them.”
