After the joyous moment, Liam asked cautiously, “Sergeant Larson, are you confident about the competition?”As he was confronted by the crowd’s anticipatory gaze, Zayn was quiet for a moment before he answered, “I’m about 50% confident.”Halfway there…That was pretty high.The Martial Arts Cup proceeded as scheduled. Zayn managed to register before the cut-off date and his name was displayed on the huge screen in the middle of the arena soon enough. He was a perfect-class master fighter, so he was placed in the appropriate category. There was a great commotion when his name appeared on the screen. The sight of his name was motivation for the Rheasian fighters, but it was a crushing blow to the foreign fighters. Indeed, the fighters that were not masters even panicked. There was nobody else in the entire competition with a greater reputation than Zayn. In fact, the vast majority assumed he was the most powerful man taking part!He was also the mutual enemy and the biggest
A dozen perfect-class master fighters were seated in a sealed meeting room with every one of them being a big shot from the international skilled fighters’ ranking list. Any one of them was a cream of the crop in society, and they were also highly-respected heroes in their countries. They were seen as omnipotent by society, yet they were all gathered here now. Their expressions were solemn and filled with concern. If someone outside were to witness the scene, it would certainly stir up a commotion. At last, Johansson broke the silence after the momentary quietness. He said in a deep voice, “Zayn is one level more powerful than us after his great power has been brewed successfully. Moreover, his power is still growing with time, rendering none of us his match anymore.”He paused for a moment before he continued to speak, “I’m calling the meeting today so that we can discuss and come up with a plan to handle Zayn Larson! Otherwise, we’re all going to have a bad time!”Upon hearin
After all, they were a dozen perfect-class master fighters with outstanding abilities!If they were to join hands to assassinate a man, the man could not possibly escape them unless he was an invincibilis fighter. Zayn would not be a threat to them anymore if he was dead. If Ares wanted to take action on them, he would need to think the matter over first. After all, they had invincibilis fighters in their countries too. “The suggestion is feasible. However, how can we track Zayn’s whereabouts so that we can create the opportunity to assassinate him?” asked the other perfect-class master fighters. Kairo considered it for a moment before he said, “We can bribe Rheasia’s organizing committee to invite Zayn out, then we will take Zayn out without anyone’s notice. We’re going to put things right once and for all!”“That’s inappropriate.” As soon as he finished the sentence, he received someone’s objection at once. The crowd of people looked over to find a tall and huge silhouett
The crowd of people could not help feeling astonished upon hearing his remark. It was a ruthless trick to kill all the Rheasian fighters who were going to take part in the competition next!One should know that no one had the courage to do that in the past martial arts cup events. Because the martial arts cup did not even impose restrictions on killing in its rules, no large-scale death fighter situation had taken place in the events from the past years. After all, the martial arts cup was an event for fighters globally and the original intention from the start was built on the foundation of promoting exchanges. If they were to do this, they would certainly draw in the rage of Rheasia!Most importantly, the Rheasian fighters would certainly give them a dose of their medicine if they were to do so. This way, they would be shedding all pretenses of cordiality with Rheasia. On the other hand, the most important thing was that Zayn was from Rheasia. Now that Zayn had just enrolle
It shared the same principle of inflating a balloon. Pumping air into a balloon would enlarge the balloon but there was a limit to the balloon’s volume. When it exceeded the limit, the balloon would explode!Zayn's great power of nationalism followed the same principle as well. If they were to kill all the Rheasian fighters joining the competition next in the witness of Zayn, his sorrow and grief would rise to its peak. There would come a point when Zayn could not withstand it anymore and surpassed his limit, then, his great power would be destroyed and he would be hurt in the process!Let alone enhancing his power, it would be impossible for Zayn to protect his safety by then!In fact, he would even lose his sanity in a more serious situation. This was the consequence of the great power failure.In truth, similar incidents had taken place over the years. By the time they reacted to the situation, they had no choice but to acknowledge that Solomon’s suggestion was cruel indee
The martial arts cup went on continuously. It was already the tenth day of the event. After ten days of intense competition, the martial arts cup began to reach its climax. Apart from the scene of the competition, the atmosphere of the fighters’ world was filled with anxiety. More than two thirds of the fighters were fixated on this event globally in the meantime. The martial arts cup was supposed to be a grand event for fighters globally just like how the World Cup was for football. It was held once every four years, and it was a carnival for all fighters. The only difference was that the martial arts cup was not announced to the public and only those who were at least experienced fighters were made aware of this event.After all, the martial arts cup was overly aggressive and bloody. It would certainly invoke fear and panic if the public were to find out about it. It was the eleventh day of the martial arts cup event and the sky was drizzling, dampening the arena. The ri
Mateo’s elder brother, Theo Schmidt, was excited as well. He clenched his fists tightly and patted Mateo’s shoulder strenuously while he said, “You’re going to have to put in more hard work and effort then. Don’t ever disappoint Sergeant Larson. I’ll be waiting for your glorious return here!”Mateo nodded strenuously and said in all seriousness, “Hmm! Wait for my glorious return, Theo! When I win the martial arts cup, I’m going to get an autograph from Sergeant Larson… No, I’m going to request to be Sergeant Larson’s student so that I can follow him as he conquers the world!”He spoke so gravely as if he was talking about a holy event. When he was done talking, it was coincidentally at this time when his name was called. Finally, it was his turn. He inhaled a deep breath once again, took a stride and walked up to the ring with his intense determination to win. His opponent was a foreigner whose physique was not considered overly tall or huge, his muscles not that bulky and his ma
Mateo could feel a shiver run down his spine instantly and a sense of danger like he had never felt before enveloped him. It made him feel goosebumps all over his body. He could feel the presence of death while at the same time, he knew that his neck would have been broken by the opponent had he not escaped the opponent’s strike!In the critical moment, his potential was triggered in an unprecedented manner which allowed him to speed up beyond his level just as he let out a loud shout. Then, he dodged the opponent’s neck-breaking strike just in the nick of time!“Hmm?” The foreign contestant was rather astonished to find that Mateo had actually dodged his fatal strike. Nevertheless, he did not stop and continued to pursue and attack Mateo. Since his superior had tasked him with the mission to kill the Rheasian fighter, he could not allow defeat.On the other hand, it was at this exact moment when Mateo sensed the opponent’s murderous intent while the latter’s muscles were thro
