Next, without giving Zayn the opportunity to speak, Adam spoke loudly in the direction of Rheasia, “Paxton Brookes, I know that you’re here. Come out! You’ve always wanted to challenge my dominance all these years, yet you’re sending your subordinate to provoke me now? If you’re a man, come out and fight me openly! I will look highly upon you if you do! Otherwise, I’m just going to beat this ill-bred lad to death!”Following Adam’s remark, everyone immediately looked toward the direction he spoke as if they were expecting Paxton to be standing there. Everyone became even more excited because Rheasia’s Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes was a legendary big shot too. He was known as the protector of Rheasia and was an exceptionally skilled fighter!When Rheasia was targeted by a few countries in the past, it had been Paxton who stepped forward to handle it personally. Without him, Rheasia would not have reached the heights it had and would have already been in decline!It could be said that the
Upon hearing Zayn’s remark, the crowd was somewhat astounded. They wondered what was actually happening. Could it be that Paxton was not there after all?Straining their eyes with all their might, they discovered that no one was there, just as expected. Adam disregarded Zayn and continued to speak, “Paxton, you’ve disappointed me very much. You still refuse to show yourself? If that’s the case, I’ll let you watch as I beat this boy to death, so don’t say I didn’t give you a chance!”Zayn had no choice but to acknowledge that Adam was very skilled in putting on an act. He was much better than those critically acclaimed actors because he managed to deceive quite a number of people. However, his tricks meant nothing to his true opponent. Zayn sniggered once again and said in a louder voice, “You can quit the act, Adam. No matter how hard you try to put on this farce, you can’t change the fact that I’m going to defeat you today!”As he sooke, his stature seemed to grow like a rising
Just as everyone was waiting for Adam to make a move after his embarrassment made him lose his temper, he suddenly raised his head and burst out laughing, uproariously guffawing as if he had just heard the funniest joke on earth. “How dare you judge me when you’re merely a master fighter?”Adam stared at Zayn as he spoke, his change in stance and demeanor making him appear even more powerful. He stood without moving, but the impression he had on those that saw him was that of a giant thousands of meters in height. On the other hand, Zayn seemed to be an inconspicuous weakling that could be crushed at any moment. Of course, Adam had not truly transformed into a giant. This was just a psychological effect he had on the crowd.He looked at the void with his sharp gaze as if Paxton was hiding over there. He let out a heavy grunt as though he had run out of patience. “Paxton, I tried to show you the proper respect over and over again. I wasn’t planning on crushing this weakling, but i
He was planning on enduring Adam’s slap and to test the man’s strength.Adam flew into a great rage after noticing Zayn’s plan and assumed the Rheasian was trying to get himself killed. It all happened extremely swiftly. It only took a brief moment before Adam’s slap savagely struck the top of Zayn’s head while Adam was hit by Zayn’s uppercut. There was a loud thud.It appeared as if the space around the center of their collision distorted and stirred up a gust of violent shockwave that blew all around at supersonic speed. The explosive shockwave was so violent that it blew up Zayn and Adam’s clothes. They looked as if they were standing in the epicenter of a tornado!Adam took a step back while Zayn took two steps back. The ground underneath their feet sank, and the noise was like that of an earthquake. The extent of their powers was shown!They were still on the islet located in the middle of a lake while the onlookers stood by the shore. The people were quite a distance
The Muricans had been afflicted by a completely different kind of mood. Their invincible idol’s attack had been blocked by Zayn, and furthermore, he was unable to hurt the Rheasian at all. The reality of it all came as a crushing blow to them. Even though the collision earlier did not decide the outcome of the battle, it was already embarrassing that Adam had failed to defeat Zayn with just one move, given the Murican’s identity and status. The corner of Adam’s lips twitched. Even though he had not exerted his full strength when he delivered the slap earlier, 80% was still a great deal. Moreover, his attack was ferocious and aggressive, so he had assumed he could easily defeat Zayn with that one strike.What had actually happened surprised him. He frowned at the thought of Zayn simply enduring his slap. He then knew that the Rheasian was not as weak as he had imagined. Striking him felt like he had slapped a massive, indestructible rock. Obviously, he would not reveal his thou
It was because Zayn was right about everything. Deep inside, he was a narrow-minded man, especially after he was crowned the most powerful man in the western world. He was scared that his status would be threatened, and as a result, he had always regarded all emerging talents with hostility. In fact, he would even take steps to kill such brilliant young men if he ever chanced upon them.As it happened, he had kept such malicious deeds well hidden. If nobody had found out in so many years, how did Zayn know about it?!His guilty conscience could not escape his opponent’s eyes. Zayn was stunned because he had thrown out the accusation casually, but he did not realize that he had guessed correctly. Judging by Adam’s reaction, he had been spot on.All at once, he could not help laughing in spite of himself. The more he thought about it, the funnier it got. “Hah-hah-hah-hah, Adam. You’ve been caught and I was right. You’re a narrow-minded man scared of his dominance being threatened,
His counterattack came so suddenly and unexpectedly. In an instant, everyone heard a humming sound. Strangely, they did not hear it in the ears but in their heads.Zayn had not made a sound. It was caused by the sudden change in his attitude. Powerful psychic energy burst from him and spread all around.It proceeded to affect everyone else. Adam’s movements halted ever so slightly as well. He was actually affected by Zayn’s psychic energy.He felt as if he could see a basilisk bursting from Zayn’s body and flying into the clouds!At that moment, it felt as if Zayn had turned into a flying basilisk. It was just an illusion, of course. No matter how powerful Zayn was, he could not possibly turn himself into a basilisk. Still, it felt very real to Adam.. This was because the energy Zayn was releasing signified that he had some kind of power within him and it came from Rheasia.Adam felt shocked, but more than anything, he was hungry for that power. If he could defeat Zayn,
Adam was extremely shocked that he still had not gained the upper hand.He was an invincibilis powerhouse, and as a Level-1 invincibilis fighter, even a genuine invincibilis fighter could not last much longer when fighting against him, let alone somewhat at a lower level. Nevertheless, Zayn had surpassed his expectations substantially. After the exchange of blows, Adam could tell that Zayn’s attacks were powerful, bursting with energy, and brilliantly planned. Some of the Rheasians attacks could even have been deadly to him!It was something that he had never encountered before!He refused to believe that it was real. His eyes widening, he felt extremely shocked and furious. ‘Damn it, damn it! How can the damned Rheasian be so powerful?’ He had already exerted 90% of his strength, yet he still had not managed to defeat Zayn. In fact, he had not even managed to gain an advantage of any kind. As it happened, Zayn’s mood was the exact opposite of Adam’s. He was feeling joyful a
