PUSHED BACK

As soon as this discussion took place, the other members of the Raven Sect felt as if a huge mountain which was suppressing them was lifted and freed them.

They were very worried about their future. No matter how they see it, they might he stronger than Peter, but they were definitely not stronger than Cohan. If even Cohan was defeated, so what exactly were they amounted to?

They knew that their chances for victory was completely zero. They were afraid. They were scared. They don't want to fight Arjun or other members of the Star Moon Team.

Just as they were wondering what exactly they were supposed to do to get away from this dire situation, the agreement between Arjun and Bruce saved them. They thanked both of them within their hearts and immediately left the battlefield afraid that Arjun who might change his mind.

At the same time, Sitaram and others also evacuated the battlefield. Only Arjun and Bruce remained on the battlefield. All others left it.

After everyone left, Bruce released his indomitable Soul Energy. His Inner Soul also burst out. His aura even reached the sky. Those who were familiar with Bruce knew that Bruce was absolutely serious this time. And he was going all out.

What kind of person could make Bruce go all out?

This was the topic which people used to discuss in the Eagle City for a while now. They used to have a frequent discussion over this topic.

But never in their wildest dream they have ever imagined that a mere barbarian would force someone like Bruce to go all out.

After seeing Bruce who was releasing his powers, Arjun smiled but didn't let his Energy burst out. He can't let people to see his Void Qi. He was not strong enough to protect himself when they learn that he was actually hiding such a secret.

Even though Arjun was fearless, he had people whom he never wanted to drag in his mess. So he didn't use his Void Qi.

Bruce rushed towards Arjun with everything he got. But Arjun was still motionless. When people looked at this, they felt as if Arjun had no intentions to release his energy.

"Is he nuts? He wanted to fight Bruce who was marching with full strength with his bare fists?"

"He is trying to find trouble right?"

People did not like Arjun's approach and felt his actions were actually suicidal. But they had seen too many miracles from the other members of the Star Moon Team. So, they felt as if they were going to witness another miracle.

But when they looked at the opponent whom Arjun is going to face, they felt as if this miracle might not happen. But Arjun himself is a genius. They have acknowledged it. So whatever happens, it was beyond their imagination. So all they could do is to wait for the result.

In an instant, Bruce was in front of Arjun. Arjun didn't even move an inch. When Bruce was about to punch him, Arjun simply raised his hand and returned a punch which contracted with Bruce's punch.

BOOM!

A large explosion took place. The shockwaves generated from this clash spread wide and far. Most of the people who were near were strong. If they weren't, then they wouldn't have won the qualification to participate in the competition. So when the shockwaves travelled towards them, it didn't cause any damage. So everyone were fine.

But still, this level of fight was still shocked them. What is even more shocking is that, Arjun didn't use any of his energy to fight. He used his own body strength and fist to block that punch.

As the dust settled, people found that both Arjun and Bruce were standing. No one had suffered any damage. They both were standing perfectly without speaking anything. Both of them were silent.

But people with good and meticulous eyes could find an abnormality. Even though the two people were still standing, they could tell that Bruce was the one who lost during that fist exchange. From where Arjun was standing, foot drag marks were visible which led towards where Bruce was standing.

This was evident that Bruce was pushed back during that fist exchange. Even though both of them were standing, people could tell that the coin for last in that exchange was Bruce.

"How is this possible?"

"Bruce actually pushed back?"

"This is not right. Arjun clearly did not use any internal energy in order to face Bruce who was using almost his full power behind that punch. So how exactly Arjun is still fine while Bruce the one who was pushed back?"

"What exactly did this Arjun do?"

People had too many questions on their minds. During that collision, they could not see anything because of the immense shockwaves. Because of the dust, they could not see anything properly.

So they don't know what methods Arjun used in order to push Bruce back forcefully. Even if Arjun used some underhanded methods, the opponent was still Bruce. And it was not some kind of exchange of complex techniques between the two people. They simply exchange fists and nothing more.

And still the one who was forced back was actually Bruce. Some people even started to have the doubt weather Bruce had finally met his match today.

But nobody dared to speak anything. First of all, they do not have any qualifications to judge the fight between the two geniuses like Bruce and Arjun.

And secondly, Bruce had a powerful and mighty back up like the Raven Sect. No matter what, they do not want to offend the Raven Sect in any way possible.

So even if they had too many doubts in their minds, in the fear of the Raven Sect, they did not speak anything. They remained silent and just decided to watch the fight till the end.

As for Bruce, he looked at Arjun with serious guess. Earlier he had his doubts. But now he confirm with that first exchange. So, he spoke to Arjun, "Earlier I had my doubts. But now it has been clarified. It wasn't just Rick, even you have mastered some kind of physical strength enhancement technique. This is the reason why my punch could not cause any damage to you. To the contrary, I was the one who suffered a little setback."

"Didn't I already tell you this?" ,Arjun asked.

"You told me that. I still remember it. But you didn't tell me it's weakness. Normal attacks won't work on your physical body enhancement technique. But the Dao attacks are different. Your body is not immune to Dao attacks right?" ,Bruce asked with profound gaze.

When people heard this, they were completely stupefied. The reason why Bruce was pushed back was due to some kind of physical body enhancement technique mastered by Arjun and other members of the Star Moon Team.

Which means, Bruce was not fighting with seriousness so far?
