Before Sean could even say a word, Zayn sighed in resignation before rising to his feet. “Mr. Sail Young, I’m over here.”All eyes were fixated on Zayn’s presence. The pressure felt like a mountain dropping over him, but it only took Zayn a sharp exhale to rid himself of the burden. It all crumbled to dust, leaving only a cavalier young man and his serene smile.His appearance galvanized Lindsay to no end, who leapt in ecstasy and grabbed her father’s sleeves. She pointed at Zayn and shouted, “Oh my God, oh my God! It’s him! It’s Zayn Larson, Dad! My idol! I only want him as my master—no one else!”Lindsay’s voice was sonorous as it blared above the din, but it was her eyes that revealed the strong zeal that she had within her. In contrast, Dick’s face was a tapestry of a squall generously doused in hot flashes of lightning. The combat instructor for the Wolf’s Fang Squad had never been so humiliated in his life!Zayn Larson—that son of a b*tch was a thorn in his side and a pain in
In a flash, the people in the cruise were thrown into a panic. They gawked at Dick, aghast, with some of the more easily frightened women screaming in abject fear. Just how terrifying was that man? In their eyes, Dick Cheney was akin to a mythic demigod who could make a ship cower at his voice. If that was not a superpower, then nothing was!Of course, as always, the unwashed mass had massively overestimated Dick’s power. Even if he were a powerful fighter, he was still far from breaking human limits. There was no way he could actually cause the cruise to quake just by raising his voice! The real reason why it had happened was because of the turbulence they experienced at sea. It was hardly anything significant either, or even a dangerous quake at that, too.Zayn knew the truth about the dramatic quake in no time at all. Dick had sensed the ship sailing close to particularly turbulent waters a few minutes ahead, so he staged a dramatic proclamation and timed it just right.Honestly,
More to the point, Dick simply did not believe that Zayn possessed enough power to match him.The impasse continued. Zayn ducked and sidestepped a few more times while Dick threw more attacks each time he missed. Every assault came more aggressively than the last until Dick was basically firing a fusillade of fatal blows raining down on Zayn’s head and face.The cruise hall hardly had space for a fight like this, so the relentless, unintelligent barrages were beginning to lay some of the things within the room to waste. However, that was not the only kind of damage he made because the ship itself was starting to suffer the brunt.The titanic fleet began to rock a little more violently. Unlike the last time when it was due to turbulence, the ship was tethering from Dick’s headless attacks this time.“Enough! Stop being a d*ck! Do you really think I’m only doing this because I’m scared of you?” Zayn snapped, his ire rising.Dick sneered in disdain. “Is this all you’ve got, Zayn Lars
“Is that… the god of the sea?” Lindsay muttered to herself in a trance.The rest of the crowd flooded toward the deck and looked onward before freezing in shock themselves. It was impossible for anyone to understand how ridiculously awesome and epic the spectacle was without seeing it with their own eyes. Zayn stood on the surface of the sea, his body erect, with only the soles of his feet submerged. His stance was surprisingly stable too. Despite the bobbing waves and the gale billowing above the sea, he remained firm on his feet.It was a sight that shattered worldviews. They had never seen anyone who could stand atop of the surface of the sea like an erected rock. This, right here, was man once again subjugating nature with his strength—but this time, it was the might of the ocean!Several older folks among the crowd were overcome by such burning fervency that it bled into religiosity. Dropping to their knees with their face wrought with reverence, they cried in rapture, “It’s
Zayn felt amazing. He felt like he was on cloud nine, and he had not felt like this for a very long time. Out here on the surface of the sea, he saw only the ocean and its boundless expanse. It made him feel limitless.The spectators felt that same bursting sense of freedom from him, and they could not help but resonate with it. Their hearts fluttered before they pounded with jealousy and envy toward Zayn. Oh, his life was truly the only one worth living!They could earn as much money as they could, and yet they would never break away from the chains of being unremarkable, unspectacular mortals. Their lives were already doomed to the Sisyphean trap of mediocrity.Alas, Zayn Larson was above them all. The power to rule over others had become the banalest and least of his pursuit. He had long set his eyes way beyond these petty trivialities; breaking the limiting shackles of a human being. Transcending and mastering the universe were his real ambitions.Even the usually stoic Ray beg
Dick could feel Zayn’s encroaching aura, which caused him to wince slightly.A profound sense of icy dread pooled from the bottom of his heart. Could he have underestimated Zayn? Could he have made a grave mistake, and was he really severely unmatched?This little whiff of doubt lasted as long as a millisecond in his mind before Dick cast it out of his skull. As a powerful fighter who had achieved the third tier of the superior class and the combat instructor of the Wolf’s Fang squad, he would naturally possess the mental fortitude equal to his prestige and should not have been so easily intimidated by Zayn just like that. It took only a few seconds for the man to muster and reinforce his resolve to fight.He clashed with Zayn head-on.A battle across the surface of the ocean was new to both fighters, which was why it was the perfect showcase for the clash of power and skills between two superior class fighters. Even master fighters would find standing on the surface of water stead
Dick could feel the raw power from Zayn’s punch—and it was dangerous enough that his pupils constricted while his skin crawled.He took a deep breath, steeling himself with the knowledge that there was no way out of this. The only choice left was to fight fire with fire, using offense as defense. He had always been known for his unyielding brute force and his monstrous strength. He should be able to brace attacks from someone who was only as tall as 1.8 meters.Pow! Pow! Pow!Zayn launched into multiple consecutive punches without rest. More than five hundred punches were unleashed within a single minute—in other words, he dished out ten blows per second, which was pretty much the epitome of speed. Worse, every single punch held tremendous power rivaling a canon’s shot.Amazingly, Dick braced through them all. The melee switched locations every few seconds instead of remaining static. The two fighters’ shifting footwork meant they zipped through the ocean within a 5km radius in a t
The fresh blood immediately became diluted in the seawater. The stench of a master fighter’s blood was much stronger than an ordinary person’s. The coppery stench of the gulp of fresh blood that Dick spat out was equal to half the amount of blood in an ordinary person’s body. On the other hand, the stench of blood in the sea would draw sharks in in a heartbeat. Zayn’s kick was not gentle in the least. Dick’s enormous body slammed into the seawater akin to a cannonball and caused a large splash, and the resulting intense impact damaged his internal organs severely. The drag of water was very strong especially when Dick was traveling at such a high speed. It was no different from slamming onto the ground. One should know that the bullet of a rifle could only travel a meter in water before it lost its lethality. It was fortunate that they were two kilometers away from the cruise. Other than the four master fighters with extremely sharp vision, the rest of the people did not manage t
