By that point, the Martial Arts Cup was halfway complete and two thirds of the fighters had been eliminated. The remaining contestants were all true powerhouses. In fact, all acquired fighters had all been eliminated, leaving only master fighters!When Zayn became a master fighter, he assumed that there were very few master fighters in the world and that he was one in a million. However, as his knowledge of the field deepened, his perspective broadened and he learned that his thinking in the past showed how narrow-minded he was. There were many talented people in the world. In addition, technology was advancing as the human population grew. As a result, the number of master fighters was increasing steadily. Perhaps there were not that many master fighters in Rheasia, but there were a lot of them in the entire world. It was because of the high number of master fighters that the Martial Arts Cup was such an important event that year and had become the center of attention. By t
The outcome of the Martial Arts Cup that year might have been tragic if not for Zayn’s presence. Never mind becoming the champion, they would not even make it to the top 16 finalists. On the other hand, Zayn had also noticed that two of the five master fighters were Ezekiel and Xion. They had registered themselves as well. “Both of you really registered?” Zayn asked in astonishment upon seeing their arrival. Ezekiel and Xion stood before him and appeared to be rather embarrassed. After all, they had made fools of themselves before him quite recently. They witnessed Zayn’s might over the days… No, it could be said that Zayn was on a completely different level compared to the rest of them. Even though Zayn was much younger than them, they had already lost the hostility and contempt that they had shown him before. They had come to regard Zayn only with respect and admiration. “Sergeant Larson!”“Sergeant Larson!”Both of them saluted Zayn, greeting him loudly. Zayn smiled
Zayn still wanted to say something, but Ezekiel had already walked into the ring, swaggering with heroic mannerism and confidence. Other than feeling a little nervous, he was even more excited and buzzed to be involved in an unprecedentedly grand competition. He felt as if he was in a fighting anime as he was immersed in a wave of strong patriotism. He felt as if he was a youth trying to unleash his full potential in the martial arts cup so that he could win back the glory of Rheasia!Even though Ezekiel was already 30 years old, he had always enjoyed watching anime since he was young. He felt like a determined young man in junior high with a dream to save the world. Even though the current situation was not as grand as saving the world, he was still fighting for his country. He could not possibly allow himself to give up or cower!In truth, he had taken part in a match a few days ago, but his opponent at the time was just an acquired fighter. He had yet to be paired with a maste
Zayn said, “It’s not that I’m not optimistic about him either but the situation is not as favourable as we’ve imagined.”Dick said with a smile, “That may not necessarily be that case in my perception. Ezekiel did pretty well in the few rounds of matches he took part in previously. He is considered quite impressive amongst the younger fighters. Moreover, I checked his opponent’s stats and achievements, and he should be no match for Ezekiel as long as Ezekiel doesn’t underestimate him.”Axton nodded as well and said, “That’s right. Moreover, Ezekiel looks like he is in good condition now, so he should be able to perform extraordinarily when the time comes. I believe that our country will be winning this match triumphantly and it’s going to boost our reputation!”Zayn figured that it was inappropriate for him to comment further after realizing how optimistic they were. After all, he could not possibly make Ezekiel withdraw from the match even if he found Ezekiel to be no match for h
“Oh, no! That man feigned his weakness on purpose!”In an instant, a voice was heard in Ezekiel’s mind. Suddenly, it seemed like the opponent’s gaze was extremely ferocious. It was utterly not how a newbie should look!Moreover, he heard the contestant speak in poor Rheasian language, “You, are tricked.”From the spectators’ seating area, Zayn noticed the situation at once which made him frown even more. However, he still refrained from speaking out to remind Ezekiel. After all, he would be breaking the rules if he were to do so. He hoped that Ezekiel would come to realize by himself and create a miracle. It sounded like a long process, but it happened quickly. It happened in a brief moment. There were numerous people at the scene, but no one managed to realize it other than Zayn that the scrawny-looking contestant had actually concealed his ability and placed Ezekiel in danger. Ezekiel’s punch was aimed toward the contestant’s face at a speed that could be described as ligh
Confronted by Ezekiel’s attack, the contestant cracked a smile in contempt and continued to speak in his poor Rheasian, “Death is at your doorstep.”Then, he did not back away this time but he chose to brace Ezekiel’s attack. Both of them were intertwined with each other as they fought vigorously. The sound of punches, kicks and different moves colliding with one another echoed through the entire scene and made the listeners boil over with enthusiasm!However, it was obvious that Ezekiel was no match for the contestant. He was staggering backward over and over again in the fight!During this period of time, his body was already covered in quite a few injuries while the contestant was still clean as ever. Ezekiel’s fist did not manage to hit the contestant’s face even once. The people rooting for Ezekiel initially were torn in the meantime. They clenched their fists tightly from feeling worried and anxious for Ezekiel. Ezekiel was running out of breath and his fighting capacity
Ezekiel’s body struggled twice after he collapsed on the floor. However, he stopped moving soon afterward while blood flowed out from his body, staining the floor of the ring. It could be described as a shocking scene to all the people there. The scene that had been clamoring with cheering voices turned quiet all at once. All the Rheasian fighters were stunned at this very moment. They looked at Ezekiel who was already lying in the ring without moving in fear. They were shocked that he was dead just like that!Everyone had the same thought in their minds. On the other hand, Lindsay, Xion, and the others stood up instantaneously. Their expressions were filled with shock and incredulity while Allana covered her mouth in disbelief!The rest of the people cheering for Ezekiel widened their eyes in surprise in the meantime as well. They found it hard to believe that this was real within a short period of time. Ezekiel had still been bold, powerful, and filled with confidence earlier
Even though he was walking, he moved at such a swift speed that he arrived at the ring in just a brief moment. Then, he knelt down and gently brushed his fingers over Ezekiel’s eyes that remained open in death. He heaved a sigh to himself and said, “Rest in peace. I will avenge you.”The contestant did not recognize Zayn at once just by looking at the latter’s back. He took two steps forward and berated Zayn loudly, “Hey, where did you come from? Leave the ring at once!”However, he had just finished his sentence when he saw the man before him turn around. It was at that point that he saw the man’s icy cold eyes filled with murderous intent. It astonished him at once and turned his face ghastly pale in an instant!Moreover, he staggered backward and his expression was filled with terror and fear. It was as if he saw the most terrifying thing in this world that sent him tumbling to the ground. He looked awful and was utterly confused. Moreover, he fainted right away when he heard Zay
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
