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
When his voice died away, the scene quieted down once again, all of them staring intensely at Zayn. Soon afterward, a loud, clear voice called out, “Very well!”The crowd of people looked over and saw an old fighter walking over. The man’s face was already covered in wrinkles, and he walked with an unsteady gait. He appeared to be about 90 years old.He made his way to Zayn and looked at him with passionate eyes while he said, “You’re a pillar of great power to the country. Stay true to your words! Sergeant Larson, our country needs a hero like you and we’ve yearned for a hero like you! Please don’t disappoint us, Sergeant Larson! We’re counting on you to restore our nation’s glory!”To everyone’s surprise, when he finished speaking, the old man bowed to Zayn. He did it in a very respectful manner, displaying his devotion to Rheasia, his endless hope for Zayn, and the patriotism that ran deep within his bones. Zayn was stunned. He had never expected that the old man would bow
“Brew his great power? What does that mean?”Joe’s remark immediately piqued the curiosity and doubt of many people. It was apparent that they had never heard of this before and they had no idea what ‘great power brewing’ was. Joe clenched his fist tightly and said excitedly, “The great power brewing is an ability that every fighter yearns for. Generally, it is an ability that only an invincibilis fighter has! On the other hand, Sergeant Larson has already managed to have a great power brew despite still being a perfect-class master fighter! His power will be elevated to a brand-new level once he is able to brew it, especially when it’s an undefeatable power like this. There’s hope for Rheasia to be the champion of the Martial Arts Cup this time! Moreover, Sergeant Larson will certainly be able to break through to the invincibilis state now that he has the great power brewing ability. Pretty soon, our country will have two invincibilis fighters, enough to make us stand out proudly o
He had never felt so confident before. He soon realized that it was the power he brewed. “The feeling of having this power is awesome…”Zayn could not refrain from heaving a sigh. However, it was at that moment when a loud shout accompanied by a monstrous shockwave spurted toward him and interrupted his great power brewing!He realized instantaneously that it was an enemy’s vicious attack and that he would not achieve his great power if he was interrupted. Not only would he fail to brew the power, but he could also be injured! His heart immediately filled with a cold bloodlust. In an instant, he turned off all his senses and entered a state of emptiness. He was like a man who could not hear, smell, speak, or see.It was the only way that he could resist being harmed by the enemy’s roar. In just two short seconds, Zayn had narrowly escaped. He then swiftly restarted his five senses before continuing to brew his great power without hindrance. Simultaneously, he looked to
At the critical moment, Zayn's eyes widened as if he was inspired. He then did something incredible. His legs did not move, but he positioned himself in a strange posture as if he was a boneless, rubber man and dodged the few steel balls. Meanwhile, not only was his great power not interrupted, but it was actually growing stronger.“No! I couldn’t stop him!”“The Rheasian’s power is still growing. We won’t be a match for him if he can complete it! We can’t wait anymore! Let’s attack together!”A few perfect-class master fighters exchanged glances with each other before they tried to attack Zayn altogether. Even if they had to break a few laws, they felt that Zayn could not be allowed to finish brewing his power!The ferocity of all of them attacking together was so great that Byleth, Dick, and the others had a drastic change in countenance. They looked scared, panicked, and angry. “That’s really bold of you! How dare you attack Sergeant Larson?”Joe let out a raging roar. “Y
