Chapter 29 - Jason Vs Larry

When Larry heard that he will be facing Jason for the semi-final, he couldn't help but smile as he turned toward Jason and said.

"I believe you must have been watching my fight and have come to know of my strength, so why don't you just save us the stress and just forfeit so that I can have a real fight with Austin".

"I am sorry to disappoint you but I am not leaving this arena without trying my very best and winning the match" replied Jason as he clenched his fist together.

"Haha, you must think that I am no different from Todd who couldn't beat a weakling like you but let me tell you something, I don't hold back while fighting and if you are not careful enough, then getting injured would not be avoidable" said Larry.

"He is right about that, but at the same time he is wrong for everyone have a weak spot and if you can find it, then winning will be a piece of cake just like the case with Todd who has low stamina" said the bracelet to Jason.

"Yeah but before I could find his weak spot, then I would have been knocked unconscious by then" replied Jason.

Now looking at the two who were about to start their fight soon, Austin couldn't help but chuckled as he said while walking out of the arena.

"I guess it is time for me to go wait for my fight since I will be facing either of you but I really hope you can make it to me" said Austin as he turned to give Jason an understanding look.

"Stop daydreaming Austin, we both know that he won't be making it to the final unless you are afraid of facing me" said Larry while folding his hand in front of his chest.

"And why should I be afraid of you Larry" asked Austin with a light chuckle.

"You have every right to be and just wait after I am done beating the living hell out of him, I will be coming for you" reply Larry.

"I heard you alright so just get this over with and let's see who is going to lose with some broken bones" said Austin.

Right after Austin left the arena, Larry turns his attention back to Jason with a grin on his face as he said.

"This is your last warning boy else don't blame me for what is about to happen to you".

"I don't like repeating myself twice so if you still want to fight then get on with it and stop shouting like a mad man" replies Jason.

"Wow,  the kid got fire in him" said the family head with a chuckle.

"Too bad he is not a member of our family else he would have been a good seedling" commented one of the elders.

"It would be a miracle if he were to win this match don't you think so" added the grand elder who sat close to the family head.

"I doubt it but there is also the probability that he might win" reply the family head.

"Why don't we make this fight a little more entertaining for old-timers like us" said the grand elder as he stroke his breeds.

"And what do you have in mind grand elder" asked the family head.

"How about we old-timer place a bet on who is going to win this round" reply the grand elder with a smile on his face.

"That's a good idea grand elder, so what is going to be the stake here" asked another elder.

"Anything of value could be used as a stake so you can all place your better" reply the grand elder.

And that is how they begin with their gambling with all the elders betting on Larry while putting down rare herbs, cultivation techniques, and treasures down but that is when the elders notice that the family head and the grand elder has not placed their better.

"Grand elder are you not going to place your bet" asked an elder.

"Oh, I will right after he place is better" reply the grand elder with a smile as he turns to look at the family head.

"You all know how my luck in gambling his so I will not be joining you give but if you don't mind, then I will be the bet maker" reply the family head with an awkward laugh.

"Sure you can be the matcher of our little game so what about you grand elder, who will you be placing your bet on" said an elder.

"Hahaha, I will be placing my bet on the kid and this is my stake" reply the grand elder as he pulls out three crystal clear pills from his robe.

"Is that enlightenment pill that is rumor to have the effect of increasing the chance of breaking through one bottleneck" asked the family head as he stared at the three pills in the grand elder hand and the same could be said about the elders who were glued on looking at the pills.

"Yes it is but this one that I am holding is of lower grades but I believe it is more than enough to place as my stake" replies the grand elder with a chuckle.

"But grand elder don't you think it will be a waste for you to bet on that kid winning" asked an elder.

"Nothing is a waste, it just shows that I wasn't lucky enough and with you elders going all out, I have to do the same else it won't be entertaining" reply the grand elder.

"Since you went to stake the pill then there is nothing much for us to say then" said an elder.

"The match is about to start" said the family head after taking the pills from the grand elder.

"I don't know why grand elder bet on him winning since the match won't last a minute" mutter the family head as he turned to look at the grand elder.
