Chapter: 968
"What?" Phil sat up straight, and his expression fell. There was no way his genius son was losing to a nobody. What would become of their family if Terry were to lose? Worse, Phil had made a bet with Hector using "Tempest of the Eighteen Swords, so the consequences would be devastating.
"As expected." Hector smiled, pleasantly surprised. He knew that there was no way Dustin would recklessly challenge Terry if he wasn’t confident in himself.
Things are getting interesting." Paul stroked his beard, fascinated. For Dustin to be so skilled at medicine and martial arts at such a young age, Paul was sure that there was more to Dustin than meets the eye.
"Did you see that, Sis? Dustin is winning!" Ruth jumped up excitedly.
"Of course, I saw. I’m not blind." Natasha heaved a sigh of relief, the smile returning to her face.
"I told you he’d win, but you wouldn’t believe me."
"When did you say that? I can’t remember anymore." Ruth stared at Natasha quizzically.
"It doesn’t matter." Natasha glared at her sister, who pouted.
Ruth mumbled to herself, "Are all women like this? Their moods are so unpredictable."
Back in the arena, Terry coughed as he tried to suppress the energy churning within his body. His expression was terrifying. He felt sorry for himself as the audience criticized him. Ever since he became famous, no one has ever successfully hurt him. Today, however, an accident occurred, and it was a blow to both his dignity and skills.
His reputation would be ruined if he didn’t get rid of Dustin completely.
Abruptly, Terry burst out laughing wildly.
"You’re strong; I’ll give you that. I underestimated you earlier. With your capabilities, you could easily make your way into the top twenty of The Heavenly Immortals. Unfortunately, your opponent is me. To tell you the truth, I’ve been hiding my true strength since three years ago as I underwent all sorts of training. So far, none of my opponents have been strong enough for me to want to take off these shackles and use my full ...
"Today, I’ll show you how terrifying the power I’ve been saving up for the past three years is!" Terry began removing his clothes, revealing the dark steel weights underneath that covered his body like armor. There were even a few attached to his limbs.
Under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, Terry gradually took off those weights, which landed on the ground with solid thuds that made people shudder.
"Holy smokes, he’s a beast! Who would have thought that he was moving around with several hundred pounds of weight."
"Usually, it’s hard to even walk with those tied around one’s body, yet he’s been walking normally and even fighting! What a monster."
"If he’s that strong with limitations, what would happen if he took them off?"
"I can only say that he’s terrifying!"
The audience gossiped, shocked at how strict Terry was with himself. No one would like to wear clothes that weighed a few hundred pounds.
"No wonder Dustin seemed to have an edge over Terry. Terry has been holding himself back. Now that his restrictions are gone, I’m sure he’ll win!" Maggie regained her confidence.
"There’s a reason he’s ranked thirteenth on The Heavenly Immortals." Claudia couldn’t help but respect Terry. Being a genius was nothing new, but it was always harder to accept when a genius was working harder than ordinary people.
