Shi Jia neatly gelled his hair back, wrapping both hands with black cloths. He wore a white T-shirt with black jeans, black boots, and a black jacket but even that wasn't what made him stand out.
It was his presence!
Upon arrival, his almost invisible aura drew the attention of everyone around but unfortunately for him, it caught the attention of his archenemies as well. Before he could reply to Kira's comment, Zero was already standing right at his face with blazing purple eyes and his white hair fluttering at the mercy of the wind, leaving him even more stunned.
After unlocking his special ability, supremacy. Shi Jia had reached a level where people could barely stand even in twenty meters away from him. His aura was so oppressive and violent that people naturally avoided him, talk less of making eye contact with him but here and now Zero was staring at him in the eyes and he didn't seem to be affected by his aura.
"Well, well… It seems the heirs of the Oscuro group have a decent member at least…" Shi Jia said with a vicious grin on his face while releasing his aura but Zero remained unfazed.
At this point, students were already gathering as they watched Zero and Shi Jia's aura clash against each other viciously. The footage of Kira's defeat was fresh in their mind making it impossible for them not to realize who Shi Jia was.
"He's the one who defeated Kira!"
"Zero has confronted him but the other three are not moving… Do they think Zero can win against him alone?"
"I'm sure when Shi Jia wipes the floor with him, they will come running in and gang up against him just like they did last time! Bloody cowards!"
"Kira was defeated so badly and now he called Zero to avenge him… shameful…"
"I bet Zero won't even last three seconds against Shi Jia! He's the weakest member of Oscuro! He's almost a cripple!"
"This is all an act to look tough, I bet they will walk away soon… they can't fight Shi Jia!"
Numerous curse words all aimed at Zero and his group filled the air yet Zero and the other three seemed unfazed by their words. The thought in their mind was how Zero intends to defeat Shi Jia alone! At the moment, joining hands will further cripple their injured reputation and at this point, they weren't sure if Zero can face Shi Jia alone, but since he took the initiative to step forward, they could only let him deal with this alone.
"Do you think Zero can win?" Kira spoke only loud enough for Akila and Dan to hear.
"I don't know… But ever since the dusk demon incident… Zero has been improving at an outstanding rate… I don't believe he will lose so easily" Dan replied.
"Come on guys… have a little faith in me" Zero turned his head towards their direction and shot them a friendly smile, stunning them.
Who would have thought Zero would have been able to hear them from such a distance?
Shi Jia on the other hand seemed to be annoyed by the fact that Zero dared to look away even in such a confrontation. It was as if he were saying, Shi Jia lacked the strength to defeat him even when he let his guard down!
"Don't you dare look down on me!" Shi Jia roared furiously as he shot a quick right punch, aiming for Zero's exposed neck.
Pa!
Zero's hands moved swiftly, deflecting the attack before proceeding to launch a second attack at Shi Jia but this time, it was aimed at the same spot where Akila struck him the other day.
Bam!
Shi Jia flew across the room, landing heavily on his back while coughing out blood, leaving everyone shocked. Zero has always been known for his weak body and that was the main reason why everyone looked down on him. But now, seeing him send Shi Jia flying with a punch left everyone shocked.
At this point, they realized they failed to notice the fact that Zero and Akila joined hands to bring down the metal walls set to prevent them from reaching Shi Jia in the video, showcasing his inhuman strength which could compare with Akila.
How could they miss such a piece of vital information?
When did he become so strong?
And Finally,
Will Shi Jia really be able to defeat Zero?
The spirit energy manipulation ability Zero possessed could be considered basic almost anyone could do it. The only difference was Zero's level of mastery was leaps and bounds ahead of that of even those who are called experts. His ability to switch from offense to defense when using his aura made it almost impossible for him to be compared with and everyone found it reasonable that he was born with a weak body to balance the insane strength with weakness. But now the weakness is gone and the strength still remained, didn't that make him a monster?
Swoosh!
Zero's white leather jacket which was thrown into the air caught the attention of everyone. He wore a tight-fitting black shirt revealing his well-developed muscles and muscular build. Upon using reinforcement on his body, the muscles began bulging and expanding at a rate that was visible to the eye. Purple flashes of pure spirit energy visibly traveled across his body, strengthening it even more. His eyes released a purple flash as all the hair on his head stood up and his voice deepened.
Reinforcement: 20%
"You sealed your faith the moment you acted against my friend Kira… For his sake, I will not lose here… Your story ends here, Shi Jia!" Zero spoke calmly but his words shook the hearts of all those who heard him, even Kira!
