Dumbstruck Audience
For Logan, the thirty minutes he spent watching the next match, was a long wait of torture to him. He just couldn't get over the puerile fighting skills the contestants were displaying below the stage. In his eyes, they were all fighting like a toddler. There were thousands of flaws in their attack. He even wonders how they were able to survive in the wilds with such a tacky skill. Perhaps, they are just paid actors.
"Alright, I'm done." He abruptly stood up, getting ready to leave as the match came to an end. Soon, the emcee voice rang out once again, announcing the next participants.
[Ladies and gentlemen, an exciting match is about to begin. Make some noise!!!]
The loudspeakers in the arena exploded as the emcee rallied up the crowd, announcing the start of the competition with gusto.
[Up next is 'Star dragon' against 'Axel'! Hmm, that is a new name… Axel. His combat and mental strength are both C and D rank respectively. This newbie is said to have a jaw dropping face, I hope all the girls came prepared.]
"Boo!"
"We don't give a damn."
"Fuck off and start the match already. We don't give a fucking damn about who Axel is."
"Star dragon for the win." Constant cheering for Star dragon could be heard around the stadium.
The emcee stopped dilly-dallying and announced the start of the match.
Two figures appeared on the battle arena. One appeared bulky, wearing a tight combat suit that show off his underneath bulging muscle. Behind him, is a terrifying Neapolitan Mastiff that appears to be his contract pet. The Mastiff eyes were ferocious, with a seething terrifying urge to kill in them. Its huge bared teeth were bloodied red. Drool containing the bloodied stain fell to the ground, as it kept letting out menacing growl.
Before Star dragon was another individual. Everyone was stunned seeing the individual. Not because they were taken aback by the man prowess, but because such figure does not fit in the scene. Axel face was the kind that could only be found in advertisement ad. The figure looked lean and slender.
There was no saying if he could really throw a punch with those lean hands of his. Without doubt, those who had placed their bet on Star dragon all had a happy look on their face. The match result was already determined without even commencing. With such a huge contrast, it is quite evident that Star dragon is the victory of the match.
The roar of cheers became louder.
Looking at the familiar figure that was standing on the stage, the corner of Logan's lips curls up into a smile, his eyes looking at that figure in amusement. "This is going to be interesting." He returned back to his seat, waiting for the match to commence.
"Do you want to say anything to the audience before starting off?" The emcee brought the microphone closer to Star dragon.
"This match has already been won by me!" Star dragon declared loudly.
"Star dragon! Star dragon!"
"Star dragon! Star dragon!"
"Come on! Crush him"
The crowd went wild, with cheers and chants echoing in the stadium.
Star dragon send kisses to the crowd. The emcee then moves towards Axel.
"As your first match, do you have anything to say to the crowd?"
Xue Yiran cold eyes directed at the emcee and then to the crowd. The emcee saw a vivid sneer in the handsome guy mouth before he finally heard his cold reply.
Thinking he might have heard wrong, he asked again, "Did you just say nothing?
"I've nothing to say to them." Came her cold reply. "Oh wait, there's one." She raised her head towards the audience and said word for word. "Don't fucking place a bet on me. And if I see anyone who does, I promise to hit them till they cry their mom's name."
"Boo!"
"Get the hell off the stage!"
"Kick him off the stage."
"Wait a minute, I think that guy looks familiar." A girl who had come to the match with her friends took noticed. However, her voice was covered by the raging voice of the crowd.
Another chant for Star dragon name began. Star dragon smile, happy by the aftereffects. He doesn't know if his opponent was dumb or too arrogant. All in all, he was happy for the aftermath.
[Let the match begin!] The emcee roared, announcing the start of the fight.
"Hey, kiddo." Star dragon began. "You should watch out. For I'm the one who's going to beat you till you cry for your momma."
The Neapolitan Mastiff began its charge and darted towards Xue Yiran
The arena was big enough, Xue Yiran was able to dodge the Mastiff charge.
"You fucking greenhorn." Star dragon had already made a charge at Xue Yiran. A huge ball of fire appeared on his fist, which he rammed into where Xue Yiran was standing at.
Boom!
The whole floor concave in.
"Tch, fool." Star dragon sneered when he saw his easy win. He turned around to celebrate his win, when he suddenly heard a loud gasp coming from the crowd. Feeling the sense of danger suddenly coming upon him, Star dragon immediately lifted his head and looked above him.
Bang!
All he saw was a white flash before his body flew away.
As he was a bit distracted from the fall, a black shoe suddenly appeared in front of Star dragon eyes. The young man's hard shoe solemnly stepped on his cheek, a bit of dust and blood entering his nasal cavity.
Fuck. Star dragon inwardly cursed. He had never been humiliated this way before, yet he was crush by a greenhorn. Star dragon clearly did not expect Xue Yiran to be able to block the attack, much less return his attack. He couldn't help feel that he had underestimate this greenhorn
Xue Yiran stepped on the man's right cheek and pressed down hard. Then she pressed the other cheek to the ground and repeatedly crushed it with her foot.
But that didn't go farther, as she immediately dodge the incoming attack from the Neapolitan mastiff. Star dragon was finally able to have a breath.
Since she didn't summoned Sky out, Xue Yiran could only engage in a one versus two fights.
The hound was no less intelligent than a human. It quickly makes its way behind Xue Yiran dead sight, raising its sharp claws raised into the air; before slicing it down at her back with great fury!
As a result of her accumulated experience, whenever she battles, Xue Yiran's senses of her surroundings were always at the maximum. Thus, the little hound silly trick had already been detected by her. It was also this moment Star dragon regain his standing, and launched several fire balls at her.
With enemy behind and before her, there was no way she could escaped it. That was the notion everyone has. Not until the figure disappeared under everyone gaze and appeared somewhere else.
The scene was so fast that anyone wouldn't be able to react in time. The fireball had been launched and the hound paw was still striking down with a ferocious expression on its face.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
And then Bam!
"Aaaoooouuuuuu!" The Neapolitan Mastiff howled as it was sent flying into the air. Star dragon hadn't hold back at all with that strike, but who knew his strike will come down upon his pet instead.
"Dragon!" Roared Star dragon as he saw the scene.
Oh! So, his pet's name is dragon. No wonder he's called Star dragon.
However, before he could go check on his pet, he immediately senses a sudden danger behind him. Due to his lack of timely reaction, he was kicked in the back.
His figure flew once again into the air, but before he could land, another kick came after. And another and another. The cycle was continuous. Although the scene looks comical, no one in the audience were laughing. All of them had a jaw dropping face as they watch the scene unfold. Finally, Star dragon fell from the air, howling soulfully as if his end was near.
Everyone flinched at that horrendous howl. Even the emcee wasn't left out.
Finally regaining his moment, the emcee loud voice reverberated through the stadium once again.
[The victor is Axel]
