When the fight began, the audience was silent for a moment, the speed at which Alex King was moving in the arena surpassed the expectations that the spectators had for him, and they soon realized that he was almost on par with his opponent.
Only in view of the most experienced in the fight, one truth could be seen, and that is that the difference in skill between the two fighters was gradually reducing.
Master Wu and Shan Qing were surprised to see the fight, although they had witnessed how quickly Alex King learned before, it still seemed incredible to them.
Jade Wu who was already used to seeing great warriors in her grandfather's arena, didn't think Alex's way of fighting was a big deal. This was the first fight of the night, and the level of demand, although it was very high for an ordinary person, for true warriors, it was nothing.
The pace of the fight in the arena was getting faster and faster, and the number of people in the stands gradually increased. Perhaps the first spectators called their friends who were still in the restaurant, seeing the great show that was going on from the first fight.
Alex in the arena felt more and more comfortable, he was learning a lot from this opponent, at first it was difficult for him to move in the arena, and he had to protect himself more than what he attacked. But each time he discovered the weaknesses of the other, he just needed to wait for an opportunity, and make the most of it at that moment.
Perhaps he had gotten ahead of himself by entering the arena early, but if one does not enter the tiger's den, how can one get hold of its cubs?
Each blow received, each kick that was sent to him, turned into acquired experience, and this flow of knowledge made Alex enter a kind of nirvana, where he lost track of time, and he only cared about gaining more knowledge. Even if for that he had to deliberately lower his guard to receive an attack from the opponent.
In the public eye, Alex King, that masked fighter, was still holding the lower hand, they were even sure that in the end he would end up losing. But for Alex King who was immersed in his learning, it is better to walk thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
That is why it did not matter to him that his opponent got the upper hand, as he experienced every blow he received.
After a while, the situation in the arena took a 180 degree turn, and in a succession of quick blows, Alex King ended up being the winner. The image of a slim young man standing in the middle of the sand, while a burly man lay sprawled at his feet, left everyone in gloomy silence.
Alex King walked to his opponent, and helped him to his feet, to leave the arena, at that moment a shout was heard from the stands: "KING!" And as if they had been synchronized the audience exploded in jubilation as they shouted in unison "KING! KING! KING! KING!
...
Up in the restaurant, in the atmosphere in the box where Lucy Williams was, it was quite lively, the dishes had already been served, and from the quality of them you could see that they were really expensive, Steven Palmer did not skimp on expenses to impress Lucy Williams.
Yeni Bing seeing that all of Steven Palmer's attention was directed to Lucy Williams, did not miss any opportunity to humiliate her. But nothing he said or did had managed to make Lucy uncomfortable.
When they were about to leave, the waiter approached Steven Palmer and handed him the bill, informing him that, since his box had consumed a lot that night, they were invited to enjoy the show that was taking place in the basement of the restaurant.
Steven Palmer was more than happy with this, it was his intention from the beginning, he knew that although it was said that the entrance to the Wu family arena was free, it was only for people who consumed a certain amount in the restaurant.
So he decided to order the most expensive dishes in a good box, to show Lucy Williams that he had the power to take her where very few could go.
"Colleagues, since we enjoy food and drink, the manager has invited me to come and enjoy an exclusive show for the best customers and friends of the Wu family" Steven Palmer said standing in front of his colleagues, while looking at Lucy to see their reaction.
"Why don't you come with me to see this show?"
Lucy Williams' classmates were excited, it was good enough to have come to such a luxurious restaurant, but now they were being invited by the manager to an exclusive event.
In the eyes of these women Steven Palmer was like a knight in shining armor, but all this display was nothing in the eyes of Lucy Williams, who had already decided to leave after finishing the meal.
"You can continue to see the show, I prefer to go home" said Lucy before coughing slightly.
But how could Steven Palmer allow Lucy Williams to leave?
When Lucy was about to leave, Steven said: "This show is best enjoyed if all of us are there, if one of us does not go, then is it better not to go at all?"
The two companions of Steven Palmer who knew all the plan of this, also supported the idea of Steven.
"It's true, or let's all go, or better, no one is going."
Upon hearing this, all of Lucy's classmates looked at her with pleading eyes, if they missed this opportunity, perhaps they would never have another.
Lucy Williams is intelligent, she realized what Steven Palmer wanted, and as it led her to a dead end, but since she was on the site, she did not lose anything by going to see with her companions.
When they entered the arena, they were surprised to see how many people were inside the stands, it seems that there were more people in the basement, than in the restaurant itself.
When they sat down, they could see how a fight was ending in the arena, and when the presenter went back up into the arena, the crowd exploded in screams. By that time Alex King had fought his second match from which he had emerged equally victorious, leaving an angry crowd asking to see more of him.
The shouts in the crowd made those present shudder, for the Lucy Williams group this scene was incredible, the same Steven Palmer who had been in the arena several times, could not understand what was happening.
After the presenter called the fighters to the arena, and Alex King stepped up, the shouts from the audience rebounded "KING! KING! KING! KING!" KING! KING! KING!
Much of the audience cheered for Alex King, but on the other hand there was also a large group of spectators who were shouting for Alex King's opponent, because this was none other than Li Yin.
Li Yin had built his reputation in this arena with win after win, and he was second only to Shan Qing.
When both fighters were facing each other in the arena, the tension between the two could be cut with a knife. On the one hand, Alex King knew that Li Yin was a much better fighter than him in technique and dexterity, but he had to try to beat him at any cost, because the money raised in the last two fights was not even half of what he needed. Only by winning this last fight would he be closer to reaching his goal.
On the other hand, Li Yin who had seen Alex King's last two fights. He knew it was not easy to beat him, and although he knew that he had the advantage, with King's ability to learn while fighting, he did not know how much he could maintain that advantage, and he had determined to finish the fight as quickly as possible.
