18. Arena (3)

"Hey, wake up! we know you're not dead yet... Quit fooling around," I told Sa Wei.

But he continued to pretend to be unconscious.

"Get up...If you keep pretending, I'll pee on you," I said threateningly

"..."

"Hey, hey... Show some dignity, brother Xinli," Cao Long said, astonished.

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter at my comment.

"HAHAHA, BROTHER XINLI... YOU'VE GOT SOME GUTS! PEE ON HIM!" someone shouted, and the others joined in, their voices blending into a chorus of agreement.

"YES, PEE ON HIM! TEACH HIM A LESSON FOR MAKING US LOSE OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY!" the crowd chimed in, their anger palpable.

"YEAH, BROTHER XINLI, FUCK HIM UP! RAPE HIM TO DEATH! SHOW HIM NO MERCY!" another spectator blurted out, but quickly closed his mouth, realizing the gravity of his words.

The entire arena fell into stunned silence, even the referee unable to comprehend what had just been said. All eyes were fixed on the person who had uttered such a vile statement, as if he were some savage beast ready to devour someone's innocence.

"Brother, I thought you were a positive person, but I never knew you had such twisted desires... It seems our friendship needs to come to an end," one of his friends nearly retched, unable to stomach the revelation.

"No... brother, it was just a slip of the tongue," he desperately tried to deny, but his friends signaled him to step away, distancing themselves from his disturbing words

.….

"Be quiet"

The referee exerted his little bit of authority to silence everyone, leaving me feeling powerless in the face of his control. It seemed like his cultivation must be at a high level, at least meridian forging 8th realm or higher. As I can't see his cultivation realm

["#$error??#@]

"Hey kid, get up or I'll toss you out," the referee said irritably.

"Haha... I was just messing around, how did you know I was faking? Isn't my acting pretty convincing?" Sa Wei stood up, brushing off the sand from his clothes and scratching his head.

"Damn... this guy really played us from the start," the spectators exclaimed in frustration.

"Enough, quiet down and respond to his challenge... do you want to fight him or not?" the referee asked directly.

He looked down at me and muttered, "Hmmm... him? He looks kind of weak. Compared to the earlier boy, he is somewhat strong. Are you sure you want to fight with me?"

Remaining calm, I calmly replied, "Why can't I be stronger? How about we spar to see who is truly stronger?"

I understood that in the midst of war, one must maintain utmost composure. A single mistake could cost you your life.

Sa Wei warned me, "How bold of you.... then don't regret it later when losing ."

In my mind, I thought, 'Why would I regret fighting you? I have my own talents, and you have yours. You will be my punching bag now. Even if I get hurt, I will heal myself with my quadruple physique later.' I felt an evil desire to unleash my anger on this little nuisance

Sa Wei muttered, "Why do I feel a chill down my spine... Whatever"

The referee spoke again, "I believe both parties have agreed. Am I correct?"

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

He then asked us, "Ummm…..Do you want to bet any stakes?"

Sa Wei boldly replied, "Yeah, it won't be fun without a bet. How about if you win, I will give you double?"

After contemplating for a moment, I responded, "Okay, I want to bet 10 gold coins on myself."

Cao Long murmured, "Huhu... that was my money…..Why did I even give it to him in the first place?"

Hu Sihana curiously asked, "Hey, fellow disciple Cao... Cao Long, right? Who do you think will win between them?"

Cao Long replied, "Hmm... oh, it's sister Sihana. I'm not quite sure either. It's difficult to determine who will come out victorious since we haven't witnessed their full power yet."

Surprised, Hu Sihana questioned, "Aren't you both close? How come you haven't seen his full power yet?"

Cao Long chuckled and said, "Close? Haha, we only started talking today."

Confused, Hu Sihana asked, "Then why did you give him your money?"

Cao Long simply replied, "Oh it's just because I found it quite interesting"

"…"

….,

"Okay here it is" We gave the money to the referee to secure

"Okay take your stance" the referee announced

Everyone is excited to witness the battle….

"BEGIN" the referee announced loudly

'let's see how this interesting fight unfolds' the referee thought interestingly

"GO BROTHER XINLI…. WE ARE BACKING YOU UP WE HAVE HIGH HOPE ON YOU" The spectators resumed cheering enthusiastically.

….

Let's shift our attention to the ongoing battle.

Sai Wei and I stand calmly, observing each other's every move.

"Didn't you say you wanted to pee on me?... Screw your little thing," Sai Wei charged at me first, without unsheathing his sword.

And just like that, as the fight begins, my Innate Ability, the Forbidden Pupil of the Eye, kicks into gear. My senses are solely focused on the current fight.

I can't hear any other cheering sounds because I'm completely engrossed in the battle. I didn't come here out of anger alone; I came to strengthen myself, to become a stronger person than I was yesterday.

I see Sai Wei charging at me with his sword still sheathed. I take on a Muay Thai stance, fully concentrated. He aims his sheathed sword at my chest with full force, but I swiftly change direction to the right. At the same time, Sai Wei redirects his sword towards my left side stomach.

However, thanks to my Innate Talent, I anticipate his attack and deliver a powerful sidekick to his right thigh, causing him to fall to the ground.

[New skill created: Kicking Art,(White grade - low tier = 4%)]

…..

"WOW… WHAT A COUNTER" Everyone cheered on this fight

"Not only that... Xinli's reaction time is incredibly abnormal," the referee thought

.….

Sa Wei stood up, rubbing his right thigh. His eyes were filled with excitement.

"What a kick! What's your name, brother?" Sa Wei asked me eagerly.

"…"

I remained focused and didn't bother answering his question.

"I like it... I like it..." Sa Wei exclaimed with amusement.

'Here we go... I can finally see something interesting,' the referee muttered.

(You see, fights between opponents with a huge power gap aren't that interesting because it's one-sided domination. But when it's a battle between geniuses without a power gap, it's truly mind-boggling to watch.)

Sa Wei charged at me again, using his Sa Family Movement art to increase his speed. I concentrated fully, using my quick reflexes to dodge his sword as it aimed for my head. I managed to avoid it, but his sword landed on my shoulder. I didn't resist because the sword was still sheathed

As his attack landed on my shoulder, I retaliated with a powerful left kick to his liver, using the rotation of my body and channeling my qi into my left foot. This caused him to cough up blood.

"Fuck" He uttered a curse under his breath, swiftly wiping away the blood from his mouth as he finally drew his sword.

The sword emitted an icy aura, but I remained unwavering, my focus unbroken.

Employing the Sa Family's graceful movement technique, he executed a butterfly-sword dance move and lunged at me once more.

With the skill art known as "Aura Blade," Xiang gave me, I channeled my Qi into my finger, shaping it into a blade-like form.

As Sa Wei's attack approached, I countered with a defensive maneuver with my high reflex, yet the impact still caused us both to sustain minor injuries, resulting in blood trickling from our bodies.

The relentless fight continued for several minutes, rendering everyone present speechless. The brutality of our clash was evident, yet Sa Wei and I wore twisted smiles as if we were born to fight

"Here you go, Brother… I am using my powerful attack" Sa Wei makes a stance while holding a sword with both hands, using his innate talent sword resonant and being sword with one..

But why did Sa Wei not use this attack earlier? I deduced that he had not yet mastered it. And now, witnessing his attack with my innate Talent, my conclusion is proven correct.

Sa Wei's slash begins to descend upon me. With my Forbidden Pupil Of The Eyes, I push my body to its limits, fully aware that I will sustain injuries. But if I do not, I will find myself in an even worse situation. Qi started enveloping my body.

[New skill created: Berserker = blue grade - low tier 3%]

Utilizing Blink, I enhance my movements, swiftly darting from left to right, changing directions with fluidity. Then, executing a butterfly kick with a full rotation, I land a powerful blow on Sa Wei's head, rendering him unconscious.

Exhausted from the intense battle, I could only muster a deep breath as I stood there, drained of energy.

"XINLI WINS THE MATCH!" the referee declares.

"Wow, what an incredible match! Mind-blowing!" The audience erupts in cheers after witnessing the intense fight in silence.
