Originally, he thought that Jiumo Kasyapa was a monk who always wore monk robes. He should be a very thrifty person in his life, and his residence should be very simple.
He did not expect that his temple would be so grand. The construction cost of this Great Bodhi Temple must be astronomical. Just those huge Buddha statues alone were not something ordinary people could afford.
Moreover, not only was it expensive to build, but it also carried many advanced technologies that were ahead of the market. For example, the suspended platform they were sitting on and the tea set that came out of the wall.
Jordan said while smiling, “I didn’t expect you to live in such a high-class place. I’ve learned something today.”
Jiumo Kasyapa smiled and said, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Deity Jordan. In fact, this was not my original intention. Mike Baylor came to my place before and felt that it was too shabby, so he sponsored me to build this temple. He also helped me get many high-tech technologies from the Rong family including this high platform.”
Jordan was enlightened. “I see.”
Jordan picked up his teacup and said, “Master, thank you for saving my sister-in-law today. Let me toast you.”
Jiumo Kasyapa also picked up his teacup and politely said, “To be able to see Deity Jordan’s prediction of the future with my own eyes today, I am also very honored. The Buddhist teachings that I have studied for many years have been sublimated at that moment. I should thank Deity Jordan.”
The two of them smiled and drank a cup of tea.
After that, Jiumo Kasyapa said, “Just now, Deity Jordan was kind enough to invite me to deal with Mike Baylor together. I didn’t agree. I hope Deity Jordan won’t blame me.”
Jordan said, “No. If it were me, I wouldn’t agree to deal with someone I’ve just met. We don’t have any friendship. It’s reasonable for you to reject me.” However, as you’ve just said, we hit it off at first sight and our values are closer. We detest Mike Baylor’s various methods, especially his attempts to tamper with people’s memories. I think we can become good friends.”
Jiumo Kasyapa said, “Okay, I am willing to be Deity Jordan’s friend. I respect you!”
Jiumo Kasyapa and Jordan had another drink.
After that, Jiumo Kasyapa said seriously, “Since Deity Jordan is willing to be friends with me, I have a few words to say. I wonder if I should say them?”
Jordan put down his teacup and said immediately, “Please speak, Master.”
Jiumo Kasyapa said, “When I watched the battle between Deity Jordan and the golden-horned dragon, I was very impressed. Deity Jordan created something out of nothing and used it perfectly. His many methods are overwhelming. It’s really pleasing to the eye! However, I feel that although your offensive methods are varied, they are mixed and impure. Although you have many offensive methods, none of them can cause fatal damage to the golden-horned dragon.
“I’ve seen the Moon Maiden’s extreme power of thunder. After the lightning fell, it was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed. She used the power of lightning to the extreme! Please forgive me for being blunt, but if the Moon Maiden uses this lightning power on you, you won’t have any offensive skills that can counter it.
“I believe that you shouldn’t pursue complexity. You should have a set of ultimate offensive techniques that belong solely to you. Only then can you have a chance of defeating the golden-horned dragon!”
Ever since the two of them met, Jiumo Kasyapa had been very polite to Jordan. He had all kinds of respect and flattery for him.
However, now, Jiumo Kasyapa was bold enough to say that Jordan’s ability was not good enough. Moreover, he said that not only could he not defeat Mike Baylor’s golden-horned dragon, but he would also be killed by the Moon Maiden in an instant.
Jordan had always had a strong self-esteem. At this moment, he could not help but feel a little awkward and embarrassed.
However, Jordan knew very well that Jiumo Kasyapa had good intentions and was not deliberately humiliating him.
When Jiumo Kasyapa saw Jordan’s expression change slightly, he apologized immediately, “I apologize, Deity Jordan. I was too direct. Please do not take offense.”
However, Jordan took Jiumo Kasyapa’s hand with a sincere expression and said, “Master Jiumo, please don’t say that. I can’t thank you enough for sincerely giving me these suggestions. You’ve been a golden mutant longer than me, and you know the Moon Maiden and Mike Baylor’s strength better than me. Your opinions are very important to me. I will definitely take your words into consideration.”
Jordan knew very well that if Jiumo Kasyapa just wanted to please him, he could always say good things. Sometimes, the truth was unpleasant, but it could help a person grow.
It seemed that Jiumo Kasyapa really regarded Jordan as a true friend.
That night, Jordan stayed at Jiumo Kasyapa’s Great Bodhi Temple. Jiumo Kasyapa invited Jordan to listen to Buddhism teachings for a few days, and Jordan agreed to stay.
At one o’clock in the morning, Jordan slept in a room filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, but he could not sleep for a long time. As long as he closed his eyes, he would recall what Jiumo Kasyapa said to him.
“Your abilities are mixed and impure. Without a set of unique techniques that belong to you, you will never be able to defeat Mike Baylor’s golden-horned dragon!”
Jiumo Kasyapa directly pointed out the reason why Jordan lost to the golden-horned dragon. Jordan suddenly stood up. He knew that he was destined to not be able to sleep tonight.
Therefore, Jordan left the temple and went to the nearest beach.
Looking at the sea in the middle of the night and listening to the undulating waves, Jordan said, “Jiumo Kasyapa is right. I don’t have an attack method that can cause fatal damage to the golden-horned dragon. No matter how many changes there are, it’s useless. If I can’t solve this problem, I’ll never be able to defeat it. Mike Baylor will always find trouble with me.
“This time, Salvatore will be injured. Next time, it might be Dragon, Rong Bingshao, Sora or even Lota and Lauren… Lauren is about to give birth. If Mike Baylor comes to cause trouble when Lauren is giving birth…”
At the thought of this, Jordan felt even more anxious. He had to find a way to deal with the golden-horned dragon before Lauren gave birth so that Mike Baylor would not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, something might happen to Lauren!
One had to know that Lauren had always said that something bad would happen when she gave birth.
“Alright, I’ll simulate another battle with the golden-horned dragon!”
Jordan immediately made something out of nothing. He actually created a golden-horned dragon. Of course, it was not real. It was a holographic projection.
Although it was fake, Jordan’s killing intent immediately rose when he saw the horned dragon that was similar to Mike Baylor’s!
Roar!
The virtual golden-horned dragon roared provocatively at Jordan. Of course, this was also what Jordan had imagined.
“Extreme… I want to have an ultimate technique!”
Jordan looked at the virtual golden-horned dragon and waved his hands slowly.
