“My teacher is right about you not being on the same level as him. He can defeat you with just a finger!” Lindsay sniggered and said, “Ezekiel, could it be that you assumed my teacher was afraid of you? I think he was trying to dismiss you.”As soon as she uttered that, Zayn immediately realized he was in trouble. As expected, Ezekiel’s relaxed expression turned unpleasant at once, much more so than before!He was even more pissed off and filled with even more hostility toward Zayn. Enraged, he laughed and said, “Oh, is that so? Your teacher would truly be amazing if he can defeat me with just a finger. Not even a perfect-class master fighter has the courage to make such a bold claim! I couldn’t be bothered to fuss about this matter initially for the sake that we’re all friends. Judging by the situation, it seems that I have to engage in a spar.”The rest of the people were staring at Zayn with hostility and displeasure. They assumed he was putting on airs when he claimed he could
Zayn was under the assumption that the two young men would retreat in the face of difficulty after he showed them his power. Just like mischievous schoolboys, they would shy away in the presence of adults even when they would act arrogantly with their peers. As it happened, he had underestimated their courage. Ezekiel was a little fearful, but Xion’s eyes lit up as he stared at Zayn. Xion said, “So you’ve been passing off as someone else all this time? That’s quite something! It’s been a very long time since I encountered such an interesting young man.”Xion took two steps toward Zayn, looking at him with a playful yet provocative expression. Moreover, he cracked his neck and rubbed his palms together as if he was eager to get in a fight. Zayn furrowed his brows at the sight. The rest of the onlookers got excited when they realized Xion was hoping to engage in a fight personally. Even Lindsay widened her eyes and had an eager yet proud expression. She assumed her plan was wo
The rest of the crowd at the scene were staring in bewilderment as well. They were caught off guard and were as shocked as if they had been electrocuted. On the other hand, Lindsay excitedly exclaimed, “Ooh, my teacher is undefeatable!”Allana’s eyes lit up as she gawked at Zayn. She found him extremely attractive and was thoroughly enticed. Xion was the first to recover from his surprise, but he was still incapable of accepting the facts and immediately attacked Zayn once again. He aimed a kick at Zayn’s leg, moving faster than before and using 100% of his strength. In fact, there was a sonic boom when he made the move!If he could land the kick, he refused to believe that Zayn would remain uninjured. His kick could even break a steel pipe!Nevertheless, what Zayn did next was beyond his imagination. Not even attempting to dodge, Zayn stood there and did nothing while Xion’s kick struck him.There was a loud thud and then an agonizing scream.However, it was not Zayn scream
Of course!A perfect-class master fighter!At his current level, Xion was incapable of imagining the power of a perfect-class master fighter. Though he was only a Tier-2 master fighter, he could already dominate Waltz City. He had defeated many renowned skilled fighters and became known as the most powerful man in Waltz City.Most importantly, at only a little over thirty years old, he was still very young. For him to be so strong at that age was unfathomable!Nevertheless, he could not even dream about being a perfect-class master fighter. It was just too far ahead of him.He was planning on striving to become a Tier-3 master fighter before the age of 35 so he could be the undefeatable champion among the local fighters!As for being a perfect-class master fighter, he would be considered the creme de la creme if he could do it by 45 years old. It would almost be enough for him to dominate all of Rheasia!Of course, this would only be possible if everything went according to plan
Just as he entered the arena, he immediately sensed a different atmosphere. It came from Rheasia’s side. It had an air of solemnity and tragedy. Zayn immediately furrowed his brows when he sensed the tension and began to take things seriously.He looked over and realized that there were not many Rheasian fighters left there. Additionally, more and more of them were getting hurt and crippled. Soon afterward, he realized that perhaps the situation with the Rheasian fighters was growing even more tragic today. On the contrary, the foreigners were roused, valiant, and high-spirited over at the foreign countries’ side. In fact, they had even formed an alliance just to oppose the Rheasian fighters!“They’ve gone too far! The foreigners are targeting our fighters. They show mercy to fighters from other countries and are only ruthless in our fights! They just go straight for the kill with us!”“These foreigners are despicable!”“Sigh… Their fighters are more formidable than ours
All at once, everyone was moaning and groaning in despair. They were deeply concerned that Rheasia would not stand a chance of getting a good outcome at the Martial Arts Cup. They assumed their country would be seen as a joke internationally.The host country of the previous years’ Martial Arts Cups had never scored too badly, but Rheasia had lost far too many skilled fighters over the years. As a result, the country had a severe lack of talent and was incapable of producing any worthy fighters.Thus, Rheasia was in an awkward situation. The country would be thoroughly disgraced if they could not even make it to the top eight!Zayn’s explosive appearance a few days ago had given them hope. They thought he could push Rheasia up the ranks in the Martial Arts Cup and maybe even be the champion!However, Zayn had vanished without a trace two days ago, telling no one his whereabouts. In addition, many Rheasian fighters had been defeated in that time, leaving the team pessimistic. Once
Zayn spoke in a nonchalant tone when he made the remark earlier, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. However, his voice was heavy with great determination and confidence. It gave the listeners an intense sense of security. After pausing for two seconds, someone immediately shouted aloud, “It’s Sergeant Larson! Sergeant Larson is back!”“Great! That’s great!”“I’m not seeing hints, am I? It’s Sergeant Larson and he’s back at long last!”“Thank goodness! Our country shall be saved. As long as Zayn is willing to compete, he will certainly be able to dampen some of these damned foreigners in their place! Hah-hah-hah-hah!”Zayn’s appearance immediately roused the excitement of all the Rheasian fighters. They surrounded him and gazed at him with pure admiration and respect. Even though Zayn was very young, much younger than the vast majority of them, his steady and powerful presence made them forget about his age. All that mattered was that he was a powerhouse worthy of thei
Joe chuckled and said, “It’s a good thing our country has a fighter as impressive as Sergeant Larson. It’s a blessing. We need a fearsome fighter like him to save us.”Using the word ‘save’ seemed to be an exaggeration. No matter how formidable Zayn was, he was only a perfect-class master fighter and had yet to reach the invincibilis state, so it was absurd that he would be expected to save the massive country of Rheasia. However, the more it was analyzed, the less of an exaggeration it seemed.Firstly, Zayn was still very young. Given his youth and his talent for martial arts, he would certainly be able to break through to the invincibilis state with enough time. At that point, he would be the next Ares, so would it not be apt to say he could save the country?Never mind the future, Zayn would be their hero right before their eyes during the competition. The martial arts cup was a crucial event for fighters from around the world, and it would attract global attention from other m
