As the cue from Lee echoed, accompanied by the cheer in the venue, Lin Fan, his stance ready, rushed forward without a single hesitation, filled with confidence.
Because of their not-too-far distance, within a moment, both enter each other's range of distance, engaging in close combat.
Lin Fan retracts his fist backwards, gaining Soma's attention, but instead, his feet move, disrupting Soma's stance and trying to make him crumble. However, Lin Fan soon switched his approach after feeling a steel pole buried deep, unmoving, even using his strength.
A fist thrusts forward, aiming at his jaw, and Soma gently uses his palm to redirect its trajectory and deals a counter to let his opponent know that he is not a pushover either.
As expected from Lin Fan, who trained in martial arts from a young age, his movement was sharp and nimble. Also, the way he performed, using some tricks and feints, clearly showed his depth in battle.
