It was his dark past and he would kill whoever dared to bring it up. After he made a breakthrough and became a perfect-class master fighter, making him the most powerful man in Sol, no one ever spoke of the incident anymore. Nevertheless, Zayn had actually mentioned it before so many people. It was practically a slap to his face!No, it was worse than a slap. Blinded by rage, he yelled, “Mouth-breather! You’re going to get yourself killed, Rheasian!”The embarrassment made Kairo so angry that he tried to attack Zayn. Moreover, he used a ruthless strike in an attempt to kill him with one lethal blow. His speed was unbelievable. He was so fast that Zayn was the only one that could see his movements. Their vision blurred as he arrived before Zayn. He swung a fist at Zayn and they all heard the sound of the impact, like a cannonball exploding in the air. The fabric covering Zayn’s chest was ripped by the explosion. If Zayn had been struck, it would do as much damage as a car at hig
“Oh no!”Kairo was alarmed. For a brief moment, he felt fear because he realized that Zayn had been holding back the whole time. Zayn has only just begun to display his true power and it had already surpassed Kairo’s entirely.He let out a loud shout as he attempted to block Zayn’s punch, yet he had underestimated the blow. Even with all of his strength, he could not stop the attack. Zayn’s punch broke through his defenses instantly, passing through his arms and landing on his chest.There was a loud third and Kairo lost his footing as his entire body was blasted into the air. He was badly shaken and fresh blood seeped out from the corner of his lips. Even though the strike did not kill him, he had been severely wounded!Crucially, the punch came with a sign. Zayn seemed to be in a disadvantageous position one second before, yet he defeated Kairo in a flash, cleanly and concisely. All the onlookers were stunned and could not bring themselves to react.Only the Rheasians w
Moreover, there was a vast difference between the power of any skilled fighter with and without a weapon. The rest of the perfect-class master fighters immediately engaged in a heated discussion after they realized what Kairo intended. “Kairo is out for blood. He’s going to unsheathe his sword to kill the Rheasian!”“Kairo’s swordsmanship is extremely terrifying. Much better than his martial arts skills. I heard a rumor that Kairo can even defeat two peak powerhouses with his sword! The Rheasian is in great danger.”“If this Rheasian is killed by Kairo, it’s going to be a great embarrassment for the country!”“Just wait and see. I think the Rheasian is going to end up crippled even if he survives. Without him, Rheasia will no longer be a threat to us!”It sounded like a long process, but it happened quickly. Naturally, Zayn could see through Kairo’s intentions, but he did not show any fear or panic. On the contrary, the corner of his lips curled up ever so slightly into a spuri
Many people at the stadium had the same thought that Kairo had. When they looked at Zayn at that point, it was with new eyes.They lost their prior contempt and had become extremely fearful.One could even say Zayn terrified them. His power had far surpassed their understanding!They had never seen any perfect-class master fighter so fearsome that even a skilled fighter like Kairo could be subdued before he could even unsheathe his sword. Kairo was crushed. Even the people of Rheasia, who were familiar with Zayn’s capabilities, did not expect him to be so impressive.Kairo was not just some amateur fighter. He was a renowned powerhouse high on the top of the international skilled fighter’s ranking list. Kairo had lost count of how many Rheasian special agents he killed over the years. There was nothing Rheasia could do, not even when he decided to take part in the Martial Arts Cup being organized in their own territory. After all that, Zayn personally fought and defeat
Zayn’s gesture shocked countless people and made the noisy atmosphere in the stadium quieten down again. In all his life, Kairo had never been humiliated like that before. As he spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back and he nearly fainted from being so angry. With him knocked out, the team from Sol had lost their ace and was thrown into confusion. They lowered their heads and lost the courage to look at the Rheasian’s face. They could only get Kairo to his feet and retreat in dejection.As they departed, the scene immediately broke out in a tidal wave of noise. Many Rheasians were shouting raucously.“Long live, Sergeant Larson!”“Long live, Sergeant Larson!”“You’re invincible, Sergeant Larson!”At that moment, all the Rheasians at the scene could feel themselves regaining the spirit they had lost over the years. They no longer felt ashamed even when confronted by so many foreign fighters. They could begin to raise their heads and puff up their chests in p
Zayn said it very seriously as if he was narrating his mission. All who heard him calmed down and could feel that he would certainly be able to do what he promised.Back when Zayn was still an ordinary man, he knew nothing about his country and had no idea what issues the nation was facing.Back when Zayn was still an ordinary person, he was almost clueless when it came to his knowledge of his country and he had no idea what sort of issues his country was facing either. It would have been fine if nothing had changed, but he had become a far more mature man. It was thanks to the peace and stability of the country that he was able to grow, so it was time for him to return the favor.That was why he decided to become the champion of the Martial Arts Cup. He could boost Rheasia’s reputation internationally and strive for the country’s vindication!It was what he was supposed to do. After the fight, the atmosphere at the event took a strange turn. The fighters who were supposed to take
Even if the death toll of every cup was very high, was that not one of the reasons for the event’s popularity?In any case, everything returned to normal soon enough and Zayn took a seat. He was one of the organizers of the event, and he was practically the head of security. Some of the master fighters with good observation skills could not help discussing with each other after noticing he took a seat. “This Rheasian is actually so terrifying that even a highly skilled fighter like Kairo was incapable of unsheathing his sword when facing him! If he were to take part in the competition, it’s very possible that he’s going to seize the cup too.”“Not necessarily. The system and rules for the cup are different from other competitions. The competition is not carried out on a one-one basis for the top eight finalists. It’s going to be a team battle. If he’s the only person left from Rheasia, the rest of the seven people will certainly join hands to take him out first. Do you think the
Zayn also felt very uneasy upon witnessing the scene. There was still a long way for Rheasia to go in order for the country to rise again because not everyone was as extraordinary as he was nor had they had as many opportunities as he had.Rheasia could not measure up to the big countries internationally whether in terms of technology or the quality of their fighters. Even if he defeated Kairo with great ease and shocked everyone, he did not have the ability to make his countrymen stronger. Dick gritted his teeth in anger and yelled, “These foreigners are too arrogant! They’re so ruthless and don’t even give their opponents the opportunity to surrender. If I was not qualified for the competition for being over the age of forty, I’d enter right now and kill these b*st*rds!”Many of the others shared his sentiments and were filled with righteous rage. Axton smacked the table so hard that the solid wood table cracked from the impact. “These m*th*rf*ck*rs! They’ve gone too far wi
