Alex jumped back, barely dodging the kick coming for his head.

"Hmp" with a straight expression, the woman rushed towards her opponent.

"She's strong"Alex felt a stinging pain on his crossed arms as he blocked his opponents attacks.

"Do I really have to...*sigh*" Alex thought, his complicated face changed to that of a determined man.

His arms started to ache more and more as he blocked the incoming attacks, he dodged some but none conncected.

Annoyed, the woman's fists seemed to radiant with energy as she threw a fist accompanied by a battle cry.

Not thinking much about it, Alex blocked the attack because it was too late to dodge.

"Sarah wait.." holding Sarah's waist down, Alex made her sit on his stomach.

"Sarah, I like yo-" Alex said, but than

The confused Sarah didnt know what to do, so she threw a fist.

*Bam*

Finally geting clearity in her mind , Sarah threw multiple fists onto the confused Alex.

Besides the pounding sounds, the arena was filled with silence, the prevously cheering crowd was confused.

"Stop!" after a minute, Zhao feng shouted as he walked toward the fighters.

Sarah got up and they both looked at the hole on the ground.

"*sigh*" Zhao Fneg looked at the hole on the ground and then at Sarah.
