CHAPTER 2805 THE CENTER OF ATTENTION
Tyrone wanted to use the rules to restrain Jared since he knew he couldn't win against him and had no intention of challenging him.
“I didn't know that cultivators with lower cultivation levels cannot compete in arenas set for higher cultivation levels. What kind of rule is that?” Jared asked.
“The count of Jipsdale did set cultivation level rules for every arena to prevent high-level cultivators from bullying lower-level ones. However, it was never stated that cultivators with lower cultivation levels can't challenge those with higher cultivation levels,” Ghaylen explained loudly.
Upon hearing Ghaylen's words, everyone began to discuss.
“True. I've never heard of it before, but I've also never seen anyone foolish enough to challenge higher-level cultivators in the higher-level arena!”
“We've got one right here. He's just a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm. Yet, he dares to challenge a cultivator at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm. Isn't he just asking for trouble?”
“I really don't get it. Is this guy out of his mind?”
Tyrone turned to the guards below the arena. “Excuse me. This guy is just a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm. Isn't it against the rules for him to challenge me here?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
These guards not only ensured the safety of the arena but also had the authority to enforce rules. If someone violated the rules, they wouldn't hesitate to take action.
For example, when Jerison tried to climb onto the arena to continue fighting Jared after falling out, they quickly stopped him.
“Um...”
The guards were somewhat baffled. They had established the tiered system to prevent high-level cultivators from picking on lower-level ones.
Such a situation where a lower-level cultivator challenged a higher-level one had never happened before, so they had no idea whether it was against the rules or not.
As the guards struggled to respond, a middle-aged man in a blue silk robe walked over.
Seeing him, the guards immediately greeted, “Mr. Sparrow...”
Hester Sparrow nodded and then turned his gaze to the stage. He said to Tyrone, “Mr. Stone, although the arena has tier restrictions, they're meant to prevent higher-level cultivators from bullying lower-level ones. As for the situation today, it doesn't violate any rules. You may proceed with the challenge.”
After speaking, Hester continued to observe Jared, curious about why a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm would dare challenge Tyrone, a cultivator at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm.
“Did you hear that? I'm not breaking any rules. We can have our match now,” Jared said with a cold smile.
Tyrone looked at Jared, his face red with anger. He let out a bitter laugh and answered, “Jared, as a cultivator at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm, I won't compete with you. Even if I won, it would look like I'm bullying you. I admit defeat. Consider this your win. But remember, Stellaris Sect won't let you off. And you have to share those three heavenly thunder fruits you picked with me.”
The crowd was in an uproar when they heard that. Everyone looked at Jared in disbelief, not because Tyrone admitted defeat but because Jared actually had three heavenly thunder fruits! They were utterly shocked.
Heavenly thunder fruits belonged to Thunderhawk, who treasured these fruits very much. Due to the heavenly thunder tree's formidable thunder and lightning defenses, the fruits were not something that could be easily acquired.
Even Hester's expression changed as he stared at Jared. He was clearly astonished.
Sensing the unusual gazes from everyone, Jared understood that Tyrone had deliberately mentioned the fruits to make him the center of attention.
