"That's unnecessary! And if there is someone who should fight that player, it should be the weakest among us. I mean... he seemed weak," One of the Paragon Knight Captains argued.
"I am not weak! I came here and proposed the idea because I am confident I can beat any Paragon Knight Captain. I apologize, random fella. But I had to step in and comprehend that for you, you struggled." Liam fixed his gaze towards the Captain who just spoke.
Liam's statement provoked that Captain, prompting him to step forward but...
"I am fine handling this friend of yours, Milord. I am honored to have this chance to teach him a lesson," the Paragon Knight Captain in front of Liam slightly faced the Light King and bowed gently.
It seemed the strongest of them all didn't want anyone to take his chance.
The Light King didn't like how quickly things escalated, but for some reason, the bloodlust he felt from Liam earlier told him he was serious about it.
"Are you sure about this, Ronin?" The Light King worriedly asked.
Liam gave the Light King a nonchalant nod.
"Alright. If someone crashes to the floor, he loses the combat," the Light King nervously instructed.
Both knights created a few meters distance between them and faced each other.
Shortly after, Liam's atmosphere expressed a unique passion.
The Paragon Knight Captain slightly tilted his head and narrowed his eyes as he studied Liam's sudden change of mood.
As unidentified dark sparks began to generate in Liam's eyes, the Light King announced, "Begin!"
The Paragon Knight Captain quickly pounced forward, raining punches on the player's body.
However, not even a single one of those punches connected to the player's body.
Boom-!!
Liam skillfully shifted his body to evade the blows, kicking the Paragon Knight Captain's knee in the split-second exchange.
'How could he move faster than me?!' The Paragon Knight Captain complained inwardly after he saw Liam's common sense-breaking fluid-like movements.
Liam's face, on the other hand, wasn't even reacting.
He entered a state of mind that only extreme martial artists and athletes on Earth could access, the one that required profound concentration.
Zone!
It allowed Liam to optimize his new full capacity after the
Even though Theon and the other Paragon Knight Captains were standing nearby, their existence was currently not present in Liam's head as if they were not there at all.
While the Paragon Knight Captain showed vulnerabilities because of inexperience at hand-to-hand combat, Liam remained focused on punishing the defenseless captain with his blows without giving him time to think.
'I can't sense the silliness and bloodlust he demonstrated earlier,' The Light King thought as he observed Liam dominating a Colorful Stage of Nascent Warrior Cultivation Level excellently.
'I'm not going to lie. This is an astonishingly impressive battle style. Does he actually belong to those fearsome players in our history? If he is, this is a good catch,' thought Theon.
Although the strongest Paragon Knight Captain was greater than Liam in all physical aspects, after Liam accessed the 'Zone,' his consciousness entered a different dimension by removing all forms of emotions.
All of them were non-existent!
His mind processed everything that happened nearby his body in a ridiculously fast manner, making his movements appear fluid-like in their eyes because of being reactive accordingly and perfectly to what hardships the opponent could present to him.
Liam emptied his mind, became formless, shapeless, like water, and moved around instinctively, both offensively and defensively.
His power hasn't improved at all, but he felt confident in everything that he was about to do, maximizing every ounce of power he currently has instead of focusing on what he lacked physically compared to the Paragon Knight Captain.
Fueled by anger, the Paragon Knight Captain ceased defending himself and rashly fought back.
Although Liam was controlling the tide, the Paragon Knight Captain has a vast health pool to spare.
He targeted Liam's body but it was to no avail.
He was too inexperienced to fight the second-best mixed martial artist on Earth.
Liam instinctively ducked on the ground to avoid the Paragon Knight Captain's blow and spun on his knee to perform a backheel sweeping kick.
It was an essential low reverse turning kick in taekwondo to completely remove the opponent's balance.
As the Paragon Knight Captain was about to fall on the floor, Liam quickly stood up and kicked the plunging Paragon Knight Captain's face, sending him in the air before he even realized what happened.
Boom-!!
"Down!"
Theon's eyes shot up incredibly wide after seeing Liam manhandled the strongest Paragon Knight Captain.
Liam mopped the floor with the Captain!
The Light King was utterly stunned after confirming with his senses that Liam didn't utilize mana at all.
Since the beginning of the
But Liam did it without utilizing mana, making his impressive display cut above the rest.
"Do any of you want to replace this guy? I will take anyone on one by one," Liam proudly demanded.
The other Paragon Knight Captains' exchanged wary glances, each of them beginning to doubt their capabilities after watching Liam's exceptional skills.
"Pardon my audacity, King Paragus, but have I proven myself enough to be one of your esteemed Paragon Knight Captain since it seems no one wants to try fighting me anymore?"
The Light King pursed his lips in contemplation.
Liam's fighting skills were in no doubt unparalleled.
Of course, martial arts weren't known in their world, making Liam's exhibition earlier so fascinating for them.
He had witnessed many other players, but none of them had depicted so much potential like Liam because others were at least at the Light Stage of Nascent Warrior Cultivation Level when they did it.
"Permission to speak, Milord," Theon intervened.
The Paragon Knight Commander's perspective of Liam had drastically changed.
For someone new to the
It was too bad that he didn't know how to achieve the Light Stage of Nascent Warrior Cultivation Level yet, but Theon swore in his head that he would aid Liam to master the Mana and Cultivation System.
