Chapter 2047 Draw Your Weapon
Meanwhile, everyone else gaped at Jared, all gasping in shock.
Despite being impressively capable, they still had to employ martial energy to hike up the volcanic crater. Yet, the
man achieved it with a gentle leap.
They had never witnessed such formidable capabilities. If they had such power, they would not have been trapped
in the volcanic crater and mortifyingly needed Kawasaki to carve a passage out with a slash of the sword.
Fixing his eyes on the small hut in the volcanic crater, Jared glided down and landed steadily in front of the
structure.
As soon as his feet reached the ground, the door of the wooden hut opened automatically, and Kawasaki walked
out slowly.
When he laid eyes on Jared, he was startled, for he had never imagined the man to be so young.
Likewise, Jared was also taken aback. He did not expect Kawasaki to have retained his middle-aged appearance,

Both of them were merely stunned briefly, gathering their wits about them in the next second.
“You're Jared Chance?” Kawasaki questioned.
“And you're Kawasaki Kuroki?” Jared queried in return.
In spite of the fact that Jared called him by his name, Kawasaki did not fly into a rage though no one in Jetroina
dared to do so, not even the emperor.
“Yes, that's me.”
Kawasaki nodded in affirmation.
“And I'm Jared Chance.”
Similarly, Jared dipped his head a fraction.
Thereafter, none of them said anything, merely staring at each other silently.
While doing so, they both surreptitiously released a great burst of spiritual sense toward the other.
In other words, they were feeling out each other's capabilities.
However, the crowd in the volcanic crater was completely stumped to see both men motionless. They could not
fathom what exactly Jared and Kawasaki were doing.
About a few minutes later, Kawasaki withdrew his spiritual sense and started unhurriedly, “I never expected you to
be so young for real. Although your physique differs from the average person, you can't possibly have attained such
a high cultivation level at this age. How strange. It's downright peculiar.”
Jared also retracted his own spiritual sense. “No wonder you dared not leave this place to duel with me. If you go
out of here, not only will your capabilities weaken, but your present appearance will also age rapidly. Bluntly put,
this place is just your cage. If I hadn't agreed to come here to duel with you, you couldn't have done anything about
it either.”
The probing earlier granted them some understanding of each other.
“You're right. Indeed, I'm nothing more than a tiger in a cage. But since you've come here, you can only resign
yourself to your fate.”
As Kawasaki said that, he waved a hand lightly. In a flash, the small wooden hut exploded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately after, a stream of magma spurted out from the middle of the wooden hut, bringing along a katana.
Catching the katana, Kawasaki gripped it in his hand.
“Draw your weapon,” he urged.
“My spirit is one with my sword. I'll naturally use a weapon when it's time to do so,” Jared replied placidly.
“Oh? Are you planning to fight me empty-handed?”
Narrowing his eyes a fraction, Kawasaki flung the katana in his hand back into the magma before continuing, “If so,
I'll do the same.”
“I'd advise you to use your katana. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'd never have the opportunity to use it again,” Jared
countered mildly.
“Hmph! What an arrogant brat! Your future would've definitely been infinitely promising since you managed to
cultivate to such a high cultivation level at this age. Alas, you're too full of yourself and not wary enough. Therefore,
you've got to pay the price for your haughtiness!”
Kawasaki snorted. A frosty gleam glinted in his eyes, and he shot his hand out at Jared.
He had made the first move.
