Chapter 13 - SHUT THE FUCKING TALK AND START THE DUEL!!

As the resonant voice of the announcer reverberated through the expansive arena, a palpable tension filled the air. The time had come for the dueling pair to take center stage, their impending clash eagerly anticipated by the gathered spectators. Ming Yue rose from her position, her countenance adorned with a confident smile that concealed the inner workings of her mind. Encouraged by the words of her supportive comrades, she embarked on a purposeful stride, traversing the threshold into the arena.

Within the barrier's expanse, a vast neon field awaited her. The ground beneath her feet manifested as a mesmerizing amalgamation of solidified holographic hexagonal shapes, each one pulsating with a vibrant luminescence. The field, a testament to the boundless possibilities of future advancements, projected a futuristic aura that hinted at the limitless potential contained within this realm of competition.

Ming Yue's every step upon the resolute hexagons served as a visual symphony, a dance of determination and skill upon this ethereal stage. The solidified hologram ground embraced her presence, offering a firm yet dynamic platform that responded to her every movement. Within this extraordinary landscape, boundaries blurred between reality and illusion, as if the very fabric of the universe itself had been reshaped to accommodate the spectacle that was about to unfold.

With determined strides, Ming Yue pressed forward, leaving the barrier behind her as it sealed shut with a near-silent precision. As the impenetrable shield closed, a profound stillness enveloped the arena, engulfing the field in an eerie hush reminiscent of a vacuum in space. The absence of sound rendered the surroundings devoid of any external disturbances, amplifying the weight of anticipation and heightening the senses of both combatants and spectators alike.

Within this cocoon of silence, the atmosphere crackled with a latent energy, charged with the promise of impending action. The absence of external noise allowed the focus to shift inward, honing Ming Yue's concentration and attuning her to the subtle nuances of the battle that lay before her. As she ventured deeper into the quiet expanse, her senses sharpened, attuned to the slightest hint of movement or the faintest whisper of strategy.

The closed barrier served as a tangible barrier between the outside world and the intimate confrontation about to unfold. It created a palpable separation, a boundary that encapsulated the gravity of the forthcoming clash. Within this secluded realm, Ming Yue's every movement, every breath, became imbued with a heightened sense of purpose. The absence of external distractions sharpened her awareness, allowing her to fully immerse herself in the ethereal symphony of the upcoming duel.

In this suspended moment, the vacuum of sound created a canvas upon which the battles of will and skill would be etched. Ming Yue stood at the center of this tranquil void, her presence a testament to her determination and resilience. In the stillness, her focus intensified, her senses attuned to the subtle shifts of energy and the unspoken language of combat.

The closed barrier whispered of the imminent clash, its silence pregnant with the weight of possibility. As the field lay shrouded in this profound quietude, Ming Yue embraced the serenity, drawing strength from the void around her. It was within this hushed expanse that the stage was set, where destinies would be forged and legends would be written, echoing through the annals of time.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in."

A young man, seemingly of equal age, stood poised before her, his gaze fixated upon his opponent with an air of casual indifference. There was an aura of nonchalance that surrounded him, as if the upcoming duel held no weight or significance in his mind. His posture exuded a relaxed confidence, and his eyes conveyed a sense of detached curiosity, as though he regarded the impending battle as nothing more than a passing amusement. It was a demeanor that belied his true nature, hinting at a deeper well of skill and experience hidden beneath his seemingly carefree facade.

"And you are?", asked Ming Yue.

Clad in an ebony-hued suit, its sleek contours appeared almost sculpted, hugging his form with a precision that defied conventional design. The fabric itself seemed to shimmer with a faint iridescence, revealing a myriad of shades as light played upon its surface. This advanced tech marvel was woven from some sort of infused fibers, a material that possessed an inherent adaptability and resilience. It responded to the wearer's movements, stretching and contracting with a near-magical fluidity, ensuring both freedom of motion and optimal protection.

The technology at the core of the suit was a marvel of scientific ingenuity. It utilized microscopic, self-regenerating nanomachines, each imbued with the power of nucleonic energy. These minuscule constructs formed an intricate network within the fabric, constantly monitoring the wearer's vital signs and adjusting the suit's properties in real-time. In essence, it was a living armor, capable of fortifying itself in response to threats and dynamically adapting to changing environmental conditions.

The infused fibers possessed an uncanny ability to absorb and disperse impact forces, rendering the wearer virtually impervious to physical harm. Furthermore, the fabric seamlessly integrated with various sensory systems, granting the wearer enhanced perception and situational awareness. Embedded micro-projectors allowed for holographic displays and augmented reality overlays, providing vital information at a glance.

Ming Yue introduced herself,"My name is Ming Yue and I am honored to have you as an opponent. I look forward to this fight. Let's give it our all."

The dueler's blue eyes shone with excitement, "I'm the kind of guy who loves to get a good fight. You see, I've got skills that'll make your head spin. When it comes to slicin' and dicin', I'm like a whirlwind of destruction. My chains cuts through evil like butter, and my fiery spirit ain't somethin' to mess with. I may have a laid-back vibe, but trust me, I bring the heat when it's time to get down to business. So if you're lookin' for a xenomorph-slayin' legend, you've come to the right place.", said the orange haired guy.

Ming Yue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his bombastic introduction. She looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and amusement. What in the world was this guy on about? Was he some kind of stigma warrior with a wild imagination? It seemed too absurd to be true.

Her thoughts clearly suggested a hint of sarcasm and a dismissive attitude toward her opponent's claims. She found herself fighting back a chuckle, trying her best to maintain a composed expression.

Ming Yue smiled apologetically, her lips curling upward with a playful glint in her eyes. "Sorry, got the wrong place!" she quipped, unable to resist a small jab at the flamboyant fighter.

The dueler's confident facade faltered for a moment, his surprise evident on his face. But quickly, his attitude transformed into determination as he shouted, his voice echoing through the arena, "Hey now, hold your horses, missy! You think you can just walk away? Not on my watch!"

"You really lack manners if you don't even tell your name...", Ming Yue sighed.

A small holographic board appeared before their faces showing an angry message,"Shut the fucking talk and start the fight!!"

The dueler smiled," Let's do this the better way. After all, I can see that you are a woman of action... Not of words. So am I."

Ming Yue drew her sword, The Doomspiker which gleemed wickedly under the neon lights.

"You are making sense now. Enough words! Let's brawl!"
