Chapter 2296 Wait
Jared could feel the draconic essence entering his body. He hurriedly sat cross-legged, attempting to
merge the two essences together.
Soon, the two draconic essences combined, and a dazzling light erupted from Jared's chest.
Immediately, the Power of Dragons surged in Jared uncontrollably like wild horses being released into
the wilderness. The powerful energy was about to break through his body and shoot straight into the
clouds.
Seeing that, Jared quickly used his Focus Technique. He started refining the Power of Dragons to
augment his cultivation level.
Meanwhile, the people outside the bell tower were growing impatient.
“It's been one hour now. I don't see Jared reaching the top of the bell tower yet. Is he dead in the
passage?”
“He's only a Third Level Spirit Replicator. I can't believe that he has the courage to try it. Does he have

“He's from the mundane world, after all. How do you expect him to understand the dangers in our
secret realms?”
The crowd started chattering among themselves, assuming that Jared was already dead inside. It had
been more than an hour since his disappearance.
“Ha! He has overestimated himself and lost his life there!” Claus sneered.
At the side, Hailey shot Claus a glare before shifting her attention to the bell tower anxiously.
Deep down, she was worried about Jared's safety. I should've stopped Jared from taking the risk
earlier!
Claus noticed the concerned look on Hailey's face. Seeing that, he harbored greater hatred toward
Jared.
“Chester, is this the person you've brought with you? Gate of Fire has lost a participant before the
competition even started! If we lose this time, the Gunderson family shall bear all the cost. Zahrin Sect
will not take any responsibility!” Lamar spoke furiously to Chester.
They belonged to the Gate of Fire, after all. It was the rule to have one participant from one secret
realm. With Jared's absence, they were being put in a disadvantageous position for not having a
contestant from the Gate of Fire.
Chester stayed silent, staring at the bell tower nervously. He was exceedingly worried about Jared's
disappearance too.
“Mr. Yuchamore, I think Jared's dead inside. Let's commence the competition and stop waiting,” Angus
said.
Everyone refused to wait any longer. Besides, Sigwin had embarrassed Violet Fulmina Sect that day,
and the gang could not wait to restore their reputation.
Quindon glanced at the bell tower before turning to Chester to say, “Old Mr. Gunderson, it's been more
than one hour. I'll start the competition now without waiting for him.”
“Mr. Yuchamore, please wait for a while more. I believe that Mr. Chance will reach the top!” Chester
implored.

“Old Mr. Gunderson, so what if he manages to make it to the top? He would be badly injured by then.
I'm afraid that he wouldn't even be able to lift up the hammer to ring the Dragon Bell. Let's not waste
time anymore. Everyone is waiting for the competition to start!” Sigwin uttered in annoyance.
Getting humiliated earlier that day, the upset Sigwin seized that perfect opportunity to vent his anger on
Chester.
However, Chester paid no heed to him and looked at Quindon instead. “Mr. Yuchamore, please wait for
a while more.”
Chester was well aware that Quindon was the only one who could decide when the competition would
start.
Glancing at Chester, Quindon nodded in response. “All right. I'll wait for five more minutes before
starting the competition.”
Hearing Quindon's words, nobody dared to utter a word and waited.
There was nothing else Chester could do at that moment other than pray silently for Jared to appear
soon.
“Jared, please show yourself! You'll be fine!”
Meanwhile, Hailey clenched her fists, praying for Jared too.
