Immediately after the bell had rung, Ying Yue could tell that this match was different. It was all observation before but now standing in the ring facing him her body had gone into its defensive state subconsciously Unlike the other fights neither made quick movements to attack the other. The crowd was cheering and urged them to get bloody but their shouts fell on deaf ears. While this was a competition, between the both of them this was a test of skill against an opponent near their level. The question was if their level was lower or higher!
Ying Yue cautiously watched Jinguang and waited for him to make the first move. As she took a step to the side he made a dash towards her form. Jinguang made deliberate moves aiming at her meredien points, though his hands were fast they lacked full strength. He wanted to see how she would evade this, if she didn't then she was weak and he overestimated her. If she did, then he could bring out more strength and fight her without holding back. Ying was amused again by the way Jinguang decided to attack.
'Haha test me? This student dares not fail!'
Avoiding his hands, she countered his strikes with her palm. Hitting her palm against his wrists and hands she pushed him away from her. Using this momentum she attacked him. After making him step back one step, she closed the distance and quickly lifted up her knee and forcefully brought it towards his stomach. Jinguang saw this coming and placed his hands on her knee stoping this attack but this is just what she wanted! Expecting this reaction she had purposefully made a flashy move to distract him from her left hand. In the second that he had looked down, her left hand had struck his throat. Feeling a burst pain against his throat he retreated to the other side of the ring to catch his breath. His eyes twinkled when he glanced at his opponent. 'This Viper is very interesting...'
Jinguang had joined this competition for fun and to earn some extra money. He thought that this would be easy competition, hold back a little and quick cash. It was his luck that he was able to find such a worthy opponent! When Viper had first entered the ring he had paid him no mind but the isolated aura of the man drew him in. Watching the way he fooled everyone and made them believe that he had won after being brutally beat down was hilarious. His eyes followed him the entire time and despite him being of small build he was definitely a man who had been through the carnage. The crafty glint in his eyes only serving to further prove to him that this was man of similar background. Energized by this realization Jinguang once again through himself into the battle. Releasing part of his restrained power he began executing high level moves. Throwing punches and kicks simultaneously he wanted to overpower her. Yet every attack he made was reflected back onto him! He was surprised at how easily this man had done this, how could this be?! Not even sparing a breath he continued his assault, switching the pattern and force of each strike to confuse him. However, who was he fighting against?
Ying Yue saw through his plan and followed his movements to reverse every single strike. The white bandages wrapped around her hands were beginning to rip at her forceful movements. Ying Yue grimaced as she battled him with equal force. It was not her style to fight continiously with force, she preferred reserving her energy and killing her enemies in the least amount of moves. The only time she dragged on a match was to watch her opponent slowly tire out and revel in their desperation until they lose the will to live. However, it seemed that she would not be able to do so today. In terms of skill, she was better than him but his strength was one she could not take lightly.
Focusing on the man before her she began looking for weaknesses. Her eyes glazed over him as she analyzed his movements and tried to find subconscious behaviours she could use to her advantage. After a minute she could still not see anything useful. Her eyebrows scrunched as she failed to find a weakness. Just as she was thinking to change her method she suddenly saw it! Pushing him away she jumped to the other side of the ring. Her eyes glinted with excitement as she planned out her next moves. The fight had entertained her so far, she felt good that she had chosen to come here tonight. Looking at his expression towards her, she knew that he had shared the same thoughts as her. Unfortunately she was done playing with him, he had revealed a small mistake and she would use it to put the final blow!
Jinguang stared at Ying Yue in anticipation and interest. The look in her eyes and the space she set was enough to let him know that she had planned a larger move. The crafty glint in her eyes made him uneasy. 'What...what did this man have planned? Was it possible...no no. This Viper should not have been able to find out a way to defeat him so quickly!' Shifting his stance he focused his energy and completely blocked out the sounds of the energetic crowd. All of his 5 senses focused on his opponent. Ying Yue saw him get serious and a small smile graced her lips 'ah a worthy opponent indeed, but alas this is the end.' Pressing her heels onto the floor she tilted her body weight forward and dashed towards him. Jinguang prepared for the impact but was surprised when she ran straight passed him. Ying Yue intentionally ran closer but went passed him to the cage walls. Before he could turn she caught the back of his shirt and threw him against the cage. The spikes dug into his body as she immediately struck against his left back heel. His body filled with pain as she once again struck his heel before roughly pulling his body into the middle of the ring. Using one foot she tripped him and hit his back heel again causing him to fall to the floor. Before he could collect himself she threw herself onto his body and straddled him while using her palm to strike his forehead, neck, and chest. With the last strike he felt the air leave his chest and blood start to rise out of him.
He had been defeated.
