Unrivaled Under The Heaven - Chapter 168

Taking instructions from the bracelet, Jason took a step forward toward a white pattern floor and there was no sign of the lightning coming down which show that he is on the right track but just before he could think of relaxing his muscles, a figure appear at the other end as it steps on the black pattern.

“What the hell is going on here, there was no challenger when the illusion figure did it so why is mine turn different” said Jason with a frown.

“It just as I thought, it won’t be considered a challenge if you were to move around the place without an opponent for you to beat” commented the bracelet like he was expecting it.

“Hey what are you talking about” asked Jason?

“Your goal isn’t just to get to the other side but to beat that figure in front of you in a game of chess” reply the bracelet.

“And how do they expect me to do that when I don’t know how to play in the first place” said Jason.

“You have yourself to blame for that boy” reply the bracelet.

“Why is everyone saying that word” complain Jason.

“That is because you are too ignorant to things that are around you” reply the bracelet in an annoying tone.

“Alright fine, once we are done with all this exploring I will occupy myself with something” said Jason as he gave up.

“Good, now make your move before your time runs out and get hit by a lightning bolt” replies the bracelet.

“You are the one giving instructions here so hurry up and tell me where I should go” said Jason hurriedly when he heard the lightning will strike him if he were to run out of time.

“Step on the white pattern on your left” instructed the bracelet.

Doing as he was told, Jason moved to the white pattern on his left and the figure also made his move forward and that is how a heated game begins between the two as they begin to get closer to each other and the more they draw close, the more they get closer to each other the more the platform they were standing on begins to shrink until they only have one platform to themselves which was facing each other.

“Now what am I supposed to do” asked Jason.

“I don’t know, that chess seems to be different from the one I know but since the only pattern that is remaining happen to be the one the both of you are standing on, I think for either of you to be considered a winner, you have to knock the other person out of the pattern” reply the bracelet.

Since there is no other option for him at the moment, Jason decided to give it a shot but before he could think of making a move, the figure has already launched an attack on him which clarifies the bracelet conclusion.

Lowering his body as he avoid the kick that was coming for him, Jason threw a punch of his own that hit the figure off the pattern before a lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck the figure turning it into ash.

“That…. That would have been me turning to ash if I were to get kicked off the pattern” said Jason with cold sweat coming from his face.

“But it was not, so be glad boy” reply the bracelet with a chuckle.

Right after the figure has been eliminated, the black pattern which it stood on earlier on suddenly begins to change before turning to a white pattern. Not waiting for the bracelet to tell him what to do next before he step on the pattern and a “humming” sound was heard before white pattern begin to spread all over the place.

“Looks like you have won the trial” said the bracelet as he let out a sigh of relief.

“Are you sure about that cause I don’t want to be hit by a lightning bolt?” asked Jason as he stood still on the pattern?

“If you are not declared the winner, then can you explain why there are white patterns all over the room” reply the bracelet.

“That makes sense though” said Jason as he also thought about the matter.

Taking a step into one of the patterns as he await the lightning bolt to strike him but nothing happened after some time and he decided to go forward with a smile on his face. Making it to the door, Jason didn’t hesitate to open it as he sent out of the trial ground.

“Now that I have completed the trial, I cant wait to see what the legacy is going to be” said Jason with a smile as he waited to be returned back to the throne.

After the transportation was done, Jason was just about to speak up when he saw the view before him.

“Why am I not transported back to the palace” complain Jason with a deep frown on his face.

In front of him was a wide round ring with a bulky man standing inside with his upper clothes off while staring at Jason as if telling him to get into the ring if he dare.

“I think you just went through the first stage of the trial and what you see before you is to be the second stage of the trial” replies the bracelet.

“Why didn’t that rotten skeleton say so in the first place” said Jason with an angry look on his face.

“He did tell you guys to prepare yourself for what to happen” reply the bracelet.

“I don’t remember telling you to remind me about that” said Jason.

“Since you already know about it, then why don’t you head to the ring and end this trial once and for all” replies the bracelet.

Jason went straight into the ring where the same voice spoke up.

“The test this time around would be a battle and you would be deemed the winner if you get to force your opponent off the ring”.

“Forcing my opponent off the ring should be very easy for me” said Jason with a smile.

“Be careful Jason, it might be an easy thing to do but don’t you think that there is something off about the challenge?” asked the bracelet.

“As long as he is also on the same level as me, I won’t have any problem beating the living hell out of him” reply Jason with a smile as he begins to crack his fist.

“Don’t get carried away and try to focus here” Said the bracelet.

“I am focused alright, besides he challenges me to a battle and if I were to withdraw from the fight, he is going to look down on me and believe me it won’t be nice if it were to happen” reply Jason as he took a step forward.

Seeing the young man before him is ready to battle, the bulky man let out a chuckle before balancing himself as he stared at Jason meanwhile Jason was just standing still a smile plaster on his face as he waited for the bulky man to make his move.

Noticing the attitude that the young man is showing towards him, the bulky man let out an angry roar as he charge forward while throwing a kick at Jason only for him to see the young man twisting his body to the side to avoid his attack before swinging his hand lightly at the kick which knocks it down before following up with a kick which hit the bulky man at the side of his neck before falling on the ground on one knee.

Placing his hand on his back he looks down on the bulky man with a smile on his face as he asks.

“I thought you were very proud of your strength earlier on for you to challenge me into a battle so where is that proud look now that you are at my mercy”.

The bulky man was just staring at him with fire in his eyes and if look could kill, Jason would have died a thousand times.

Seeing the bulky man staring at him was kind of annoying to Jason and he had to send a powerful kick at the bulky man which sent him flying out of the ring.

“I thought that I was going to have some fun fighting but who would have thought that he would be so weak to take a hit from me” said Jason with a sigh as if he was disappointed about the outcome of the fight but if one were to look into his eyes, he would be shaken to see that he is happy about winning.

“Now that you have cleared this stage, I think it should be about time you were sent out of this place” commented the bracelet.

“You got that right” reply Jason as he begin to wait for the voice to declare him the winner of the match which didn’t happen instead another opponent appear on the ring which clarify that it is not over.
