I adore power stones; please feed me.
"bang"
Although Wilder and Joey were being flung back over and over again, although they managed to get some hits in, they looked horrible.
Especially wilder
Arthur would normally fling Joey back, but Wilder received a punch on top of being flung back occasionally.
The fight was painful, even to the audience.
Arthur had a smile on his face, though he mainly focused on Wilder for 2 reasons.
The first was, no matter how much he beat Wilder, as long as he let him pass this round, then he would be considered to have passed this stage and would advance.
The second reason was quite simple; he just didn't like the noble faction at all and seeing that they were backing wilder just pissed him off more.
Wilder was crouching opposite Arthur, breathing heavily.
"I just need to survive 2 more exchanges then I will have passed," wilder thought he had come up with many reasons as to why Arthur was targeting him specifically but all of them just made wilder more frustrated
"First palm of bronze" Wilder was preparing to attack before Arthur did so himself.
But the palm didn't land Arthur simply dodged it. It seemed as if Arthur just wanted to continue harassing Wilder, so he was purposefully delaying the fight.
"fire dancing sleeping fist" Joey didn't relent. He saw an opportunity as Arthur was dodging to attack.
"boom"
Joey looked at Arthur with an irritated look on his face
"Why do you keep interfering? Does it look like I'm after you?" Arthur asked himself
Of course, he couldn't say something like that In front of the crowd, they would think he was just bullying wilder.
I mean, he was, but he didn't want anyone to actually say it.
"Sigh," Wilder heaved a sigh of relief,
"Just one attack to go," he thought.
He knew that getting the last punch to land would be quite hard, at least without receiving a serious beating, as he could see that Arthur was rather pissed at the moment.
"Just take it like a man." Wilder was helpless. If Arthur really wanted to hurt him badly, there really wasn't much that he could do.
So he closed his eyes and braced himself for a painful beating.
But suddenly
Arthur vanished but he wasn't heading for wilder. He went right behind Joey and hit him over the head.
"Bang" Joey rolled on the floor back and forth for a good minute until he stood up and glared at Arthur fiercely.
"Serves you right for trying to ruin my fun," Arthur thought in his mind, but he also had a heavy smile on his face.
Joey simply stared at Arthur with a smile, and after that, he knew that Arthur was a petty person.
"Leader Arthur, that's 10 exchanges," Wilder said from the side with his hands cupped at Arthur.
He wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
"Oh yes yes, you both pass," Arthur said in a tone that made the crowd feel like he was disappointed.
"Next," Arthur said loudly.
"fire dance sleeping hallow fist" a voice suddenly sounded from the side
"Hm?" Arthur quickly turned back to meet his assailant.
The hand was exuding an aura of death and darkness.
Who would dare attack the leader of the infantry cadets on the platform inside the base? Who else
The guy that had been picking a fight with him in the first place
joey
but
"boom"
It was still too weak for Arthur. After all, he was a cultivator, at least as strong as Wang Ben if not stronger.
"bang"
The next thing to happen shocked the crowd even more. As soon as the punch landed,
Joey collapsed
"slam"
The whole crowd basically face-palmed themselves.
"This guy was still sleeping? Isn't this too much? "
"Someone drag him off the stage," Arthur said rather calmly, as if he knew this was going to happen.
Back in the crowd, a lot of things were going through the minds of Frank, Jake, and Jack. The fight was amazing. Who knew that Joey was this powerful? I mean, they all essentially trained together and this shocked them.
"Were two weeks enough to cause such a drastic change in people?" Frank thought
Plus, the most shocking thing was his techniques. They were all familiar with the firebird dance and this looked exactly like it, and at the same time, it looked absolutely stunning and very different.
"Was it some kind of variation?" Frank mused
"Hello??? Who's next? " Arthur asked.
Joey had been taken down from the stage at this point.
So it was Jack's turn.
He simply walked onto the stage. When he got there, people couldn't help whispering, After all, Jack was quite popular amongst the candidates.
He was also very strong, so any person he would be facing would be very unlucky.
And not surprisingly, the person he was to face shook in absolute shock when he heard Jack call his number.
He walked up to the stage and simply refused to fight.
He admitted defeat and went straight to the line. There was no use in fighting a battle he knew he couldn't win, so he chose to give up.
This delighted Jack the more; he had a huge smile on his face and a very smug look.
The next person was Frank, and Frank's battle was also uneventful. He quickly dispatched his opponent, though his opponent didn't downright refuse to fight like jacks.
This didn't make Frank feel weird at all; he knew how strong he was and didn't want or need to prove it.
Jake got his second challenge also, but his opponent was already injured, so he couldn't participate even though he wanted to, and that was an automatic win for Jake.
Joey's second opponent also gave up as he knew that even though Joey was in a state of sleep, he knew that he could not win against him if he woke him up.
If it was immediately after his fight with wilder and leader Arthur he would have tried but now? This monster has had time to rest, so he didn't dare.
Unlike the rest, Frank was actually challenged again. He thought that his luck was definitely bad as this person was huge.
He was a fatty like Jack but at least 3 times his size.
"little shit come down else I will seat on your tiny head " he was trying to bully frank into submission but that was a mistake
Frank wasn't in a good mood as the opponents he got to fight were very weak. He wanted to get stronger and that was only possible by fighting those stronger than himself.
Now, this dumbass was trying to belittle him? Oh, it made Frank mad.
"Raging fist rapid one," Frank said softly as he approached his opponent.
"bang"
His opponent blocked his rapid one with no difficulty, which made him a bit surprised.
"looks like this might be a good fight after all," frank said and continued punching
He didn't want to jump around trying to get a weak point; he wanted to dominate his opponent.
His opponent was really having a hard time as Frank didn't give him any space to fight back.
His opponent didn't quit, though.
He had other plans formulating in his head also.
Suddenly
He made a mistake and got hit directly on his chest and got pushed back a few steps
Frank didn't foresee this.
"Why would he leave himself wide open like this ?" frank reflected to himself
Until
"boom"
Frank found himself flying and he didn't even know how it happened. He only had a feeling of the sudden impact on his chest that left him flying.
His opponent made him let his guard down and counter-attacked.
"Hm?" Frank took a long look at his opponent, who was currently walking towards him with a smug smile on his face
"I told you I was going to sit on your head," his opponent voiced loudly in an attempt to mock Frank.
Frank stared at him blankly, though as he approached slowly, he only stared blankly.
The fatty said his opponent saw this as an admittance of defeat.
He grabbed Frank by the shoulder and pushed him.
But Frank didn't budge. He smiled at his opponent, the fatty, with an evil smile This guy was dumb, but Frank wouldn't complain about that.
"Raging fists, second rapid peak," Frank said very calmly, and proceeded to slide the hand off his shoulder and land a hit on his opponent's head.
"ah?"
The fatty had a look of shock in his eyes as he slowly fell to the ground, and still, his eyes were wide open with shock.
"I was schemed against?" That was the question going through his mind at the moment.
"Take him down," Arthur said to a fellow cadet so that he would take frank's opponent away.
Frank walked off the stage also, although he hadn't had any spectacular fights yet.
He had hope for the next
Wang Ben had a huge smile on his face.
