Sure enough, as Jacob's body glowed with a golden light, Enzo reappeared in mid-air above Jacob and aimed a blow at his head.
Jacob crossed his fists and raised them in one swift motion to block the attack.
Clang!
The sound of something striking another heavily reverberated through the air, and Jacob's feet sank into the arena's floor. Even the durable marble cracked, sending broken chunks and rubble scattering everywhere.
In the crowd's eyes, that one attack had been sufficient to relegate Jacob to a disadvantageous position.
"Once a genius, always a genius. As expected of Hillsborough's most gifted young man, Enzo's attack has the aura of a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster," someone commented.
"I'm afraid Jacob won't even be able to withstand ten attacks. It looks like we'll be turning a profit today."
Another said, "I thought this fight would pack a punch, but it looks like there won't be much excitement."
