CHAPTER 384 DARE TO COMPARE?

Chapter 384 Dare to Compare?

After Lachlan returned, Savannah and Sophie didn't show much reaction. In their eyes, Lachlan was always this powerful - being able to complete seven rounds was already impressive.

"Keep it up. Out of 120 people, only 20 will be eliminated. With your mid-level Uppecia strength, passing the test shouldn't be a problem," Savannah encouraged Lachlan with hesitation.

"Thank you! I got this," Lachlan nodded in response.

Savannah snorted lightly and said, "No need to thank me. I just don't want you to get us kicked out of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance."

At that moment, the next name called happened to be Hugo's.

After he stepped onto the stage and punched ten rounds without breaking a sweat, he turned towards Lachlan and Savannah with a provocative smirk on his face.

The first attack test lasted for almost two hours before finally ending at around nine in the morning.

The winner of this round was Benjamin from Golden Blade Sect who completed an impressive 22 rounds and earned 120 points.

Finn from the Wynter family came in second place by completing 20 rounds while Theodore Howard from Great Origin Sect took third place by completing 15 rounds with his peak-level Uppecia strength.

Savannah came in fourth place while Arlo from the Hernandez family took fifth place. Meanwhile, Lachlan ranked forty-fourth with only seven completed rounds which earned him a total of seventy-

seven points.

After this round ended, Arlo walked up to Lachlan wearing an arrogant expression on his face as if he owned everything around him.

"You're trash! I thought you were going to challenge me head-on but it turns out your strength is only at mid-level Uppecia?" Arlo taunted him aggressively as soon as they met each other's gaze.

"Do not think that we are equals or that our lives are worth comparing? You're not even qualified!"

Upon hearing this, Lachlan smiled faintly and said, "Among the four strongest ancient martial forces, your attack is the weakest."

Arlo's voice suddenly stagnated upon hearing this, and he angrily stared at Lachlan, saying, "Even if my attack is the weakest, I can still crush you!"

"Not only are you the weakest among the four, but you're also inferior to my junior, Callum! In other words, despite both being at the peak of the late stage of Uppecia, you are the weakest. Hehe..." Lachlan said with a smug smile.

No matter how Arlo tried to act cool or mock him, Lachlan seemed completely unfazed. He just kept exposing Arlo's weaknesses.

Arlo's face turned red with anger, and he had the impulse to kill Lachlan on the spot, almost spewing blood out of anger.

Indeed, among the four strongest forces, Benjamin and Finn had already reached the Core Formation Realm, surpassing Arlo. Even Theodore from the Great Origin Sect, who was also at the peak of the late stage of Uppecia, had a stronger attack than him. Even Savannah, the genius of the Graham family, had a higher attack ranking than him. This truly made Arlo feel extremely humiliated.

Originally, he wanted to embarrass Lachlan a bit, but he didn't expect this guy to grasp that weakness and not let go, hitting him where it hurt. He almost died from anger!

"You son of a bitch, you're looking for trouble!" Arlo angrily roared in embarrassment.

At this moment, Savannah hesitated for a moment and stood in front of Lachlan, saying, "Mr. Hernandez, I advise you not to cause trouble. It's not good for anyone, and the Hudpids Sect won't turn a blind eye."

Arlo's expression changed, and despite being at the peak of the late stage of Uppecia, he didn't have much confidence in winning against Savannah at the moment.

"Fine! Just you wait!"

"Don't let me catch an opportunity, or I'll definitely kill you!" Arlo pointed at Lachlan and said sternly.

Then, with a cold snort at Savannah, he said, "And you, don't think that being ranked ahead of me means your strength is truly superior! I haven't even revealed my trump card yet! What good is having a strong attack?"

After leaving a few harsh words, the young master of the Hernandez family glanced at Lachlan with a cold gaze and turned to leave.

At this moment, Savannah glared at Lachlan, her face covered in frost, and said, "Can you please stop provoking him? He has the Hernandez family backing him. Do you know that? You are currently a member of the Graham family. Do you want to bring another enemy upon us?"

Lachlan furrowed his brow and coldly retorted, "I didn't provoke him; he came over to humiliate me. Should I just let him humiliate me?"

"You..."

Savannah's voice stagnated, glaring at Lachlan with anger, unable to find the words to express herself, but her blame was still evident in her beautiful eyes.

Lachlan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, if he truly holds a grudge against me and even causes trouble for the Graham family, you can just tell the truth! I brought the trouble upon myself, and it won't affect your family."

Savannah, upon hearing this, couldn't help but bite her lip and said, "That's not what I meant! But you're on your own!"

Sophie smiled at Lachlan and said a few words to ease the situation.

Next, the second test was a test of defensive power.

After a short break, ten bronze figures suddenly rose from the ground beneath the platform in the martial arts arena.

"The second assessment is for defensive power! These ten bronze figures were crafted by Hudpids Sect's forging master two hundred years ago. They can adjust the intensity of their attacks, ranging from the early stage of Uppecia to the early stage of Golden Core."

"The participating contestants can choose the attack intensity of the bronze figures based on their own defensive abilities. But let me remind you, if your strength is not enough, don't try to act tough. If you can't withstand the bronze figures' attacks and end up getting killed, Hudpids Sect will not be responsible."

Isabel's voice spread from the platform and reached everyone's ears.

Next, the test officially began.

This test was different from the previous test of attack power because there were ten bronze figures, allowing ten contestants to participate at the same time.

As Isabel spoke, the first group of contestants stepped onto the stage.

Among them was a contestant in the early stage of Uppecia. Perhaps wanting to score more points to avoid being eliminated in the end, they chose the attack intensity of the mid-stage of Uppecia.

As a result, they were struck by the bronze figure and sent flying, coughing up blood from severe injuries!

It seemed they would not be able to participate in the following tests.

Undoubtedly, this was not worth it.

Witnessing this scene, Patrick from the Wood family's expression flickered a few times.

Shortly after, he approached Hugo and Jackson, and they discussed something together. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Afterward, a dignified old man in a green robe on the platform went to find Isabel and whispered something in her ear.

Isabel hesitated for a moment, then nodded, agreeing to his "secret request."

In each Clan Grand Competition, representatives from the five hidden powers would come to serve as referees.

And this old man in the green robe was the representative of the Wood family, one of the hidden powers.

After about fifteen minutes, the eighth group of contestants stepped onto the stage.

Among this group was Lachlan, but Savannah was not among them.

In addition to Lachlan, Hugo and Jackson from the Wood family also appeared in the same group.

"Haha, the Graham family's waste, I didn't expect us to be in the same group!"

"Dare to compare defensive power with us? Ah?"

"Don't tell us that your attack is weak, and your defense is also vulnerable. Tsk, tsk..."

Hugo looked at Lachlan, provocatively raising his chin and taunting.
