The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1340

Frank could certainly block Jaden's kick directly and counter by breaking his leg right then, but he did not do it because he had his plans. Jaden was strong, and Frank could see he was halfway into Ascendant rank.

But that still meant he was no threat to Frank.

Moreover, Frank did not accept the challenge because of Jaden-his real targets were Troy and Kilian with him.

Pow!

As Frank shimmied to the side, Jaden's foot struck the floor, sending half the ring crumbling, making his sheer power all too evident.

"What?!"

Jaden, however, was taken aback.

Was Frank actually that good, easily dodging the signature techniques of his family?!

His scowl soon turned savage, as he was reminded of that fight two years ago when he thought the world of himself.

That was when Ehud Lionheart showed up, and the Demon of Volsung Sect kept dodging his blows like Frank was doing now, treating Jaden as if he amounted to nothing! "Argh!!! Boulderbreaker!" Jaden bellowed even as he felt humiliated, unleashing a horrific blast of pure vigor from his palm.

The projection quickly manifested into the silhouette of a palm larger than Jaden himself, devouring everything in its way as it shot toward Frank.

While the average Joes were just entertained watching the action unfold, the martial artists were on their feet, gaping at the sight.

Such terrible and concentrated pure vigor was a rarity in the world over.

Even a body of steel would be reduced to dust if struck by that, let alone a human.

"Urgh..."

Frank, however, was merely sighing exasperatedly as the blast of pure vigor streaked toward him.

Seizing the right timing, he charged his palm with Five-Peat Archaeus and met Jaden's strike!

Boom!

The ensuing crack was deafening, and the ring crumbled instantly as the shockwave of pure vigor unfurled into a violent gale, knocking the audience off their feet. "Shit, that mysterious martial elite is actually that good?"

"Right? He's actually evenly matched against Jaden Favoni! Jaden Favoni! Second in Skyrank!"

"Shit, that's three strikes. Jaden really might not win in ten now."

"We'll never know. Maybe that's all the other guy can take..."

Even as the audience pushed themselves off the floor with considerable difficulty, they started arguing again.

Still, suffocating silence ensued as no one talked when the dust from the crumbling ring settled.

One could even hear a pin drop.

After all, Jaden, whom everyone believed would defeat Frank in just a few strikes, was left on one knee in front of Frank!

As he coughed blood, shock and disbelief showed on his face, as well as the audiences'.

Just then, Jaden raised a trembling finger at Frank, his mouth hanging open as if to speak.

"Blargh!"

However, a jet of dark blood shot out through his mouth and nostrils before he could speak!

"What?! Jaden Favoni lost?!"

"I-Impossible!"

"Go! Find out the name of that mysterious martial elite! He's now second in Skyrank! Second, I'm telling you!"

"Skyrank's order shifts again!"

None of them expected Jaden to lose at all!

However, even as the spectators erupted into chaos and confusion, Jaden looked up, using every last bit of strength he had to bellow into the air, "Y-You cheater! You poisoned me!"
