Unexpected

Asahi Riku's attack did not stop, instead, it became even stronger and faster. He was slowly evolving as the fight went on!

"This kid! His talent in martial art is not far behind Nangong Jun." 

"Yeah, if he can have the resources and the training sessions from those renowned martial art families, then his strength will surely climb faster."

Abbot White shouted in anger and threw a swift punch to Asahi Riku that hit the latter squarely in the face. Asahi Riku took a few steps backward, but he sprinted and continued his aggressive assault on Abbot White.

'What an unyielding kid!' Abbot White inwardly admired the courage of Asahi Riku.

'He broke through the B-Class level, but he still lacks a bit if he wants to defeat that bald monk. But who knows...' Cale felt the sudden increase in strength from Asahi Riku's blows.

Only talented warriors with strong wills can break thought during fights.

Fierce lights burned in Asahi Riku eyes and his speed doubled. His blows became even more unpredictable that even Abbot White could hardly defend them.

Abbot White step back twice and moved his hands in a circular motion. Time seemed to slow down a bit after he showed that stance.

The burly monk below the stage sighed and shook his head. 'Oh well, at least I can see the strength of our Yin Yang Fist in live combat.'

The large amounts of origin essence in Abbot White's body traveled on his fists. 

Asahi Riku smiled in excitement and produced a loud battle cry that surprised Abbot White.

Asahi Riku dashed towards Abbot White, while the latter suddenly threw his Yin Yang Fist towards the approaching Asahi Riku. 

Asahi Riku smiled and somersaulted in mid-air before delivering a kick which made the air on the stage erratic.

Abbot White was surprised at the sudden attack and he hastily changed the direction of his Yin Yang Fist.

The kick and the punch collided and produced a very loud...

"Bang!"

Both fighters were thrown from the impact. Abbot White landed with his ass on the ground, while Asahi Riku spun in mid-air to minimize the impact and landed on the stage gracefully.

The burly monk below the stage sighed in regret and mumbled softly "This should serve as a lesson for him."

"For the first fight of the second round, Asahi Riku from the Kaito Airlines wins!" Sima Yantong loudly announced the unexpected result of the match.

The crowd went into an uproar at the upsetting defeat of Abbot White. 

"What a match! Abbot White was careless, but Asahi Riku also showed a spectacular display of strength."

The people from the Kaito Airlines were clapping loudly as they listened to the crowd's admiring comments towards Asahi Riku.

'That man's battle will is a lot stronger than many soldiers in the Alliance. If only I could recruit these men to fight with me against those demi-humans.' Cale sighed with regret as he watched Asahi Riku who raised both his fists upwards, obviously proud and happy at his victory.

"Anything can happen in a fight and it is not always the stronger party that wins." Old man Sekoujo exhaled gray smokes after he said that.

Nogi and the others nodded in agreement.

During a war, a strategy can help the weaker party win against the stronger one. And a talented tactician was a vital part in times of war.

"For the second match of the second round! Can I have Nogi from the Diamond Paradise Hotel and Casino and Nangong Jun from the Nangong Family to come onto the stage please!"

Nogi stood up from his seat with a resolute face. He knew that it was time to show the sharp fangs of an elite soldier. And he wasn't a coward who retreats at the sight of any foe. No matter how strong or weak they are.

They were trained to adapt to any kind of environment and their wills were a lot stronger than most fighters.

Nangong Jun smiled condescendingly at Nogi as he waited for Sima Yantong to announce the start of their fight.

Nogi was not bothered by Nangong Jun's arrogance. A serene look can be seen on the former's face. Strong amounts of origin essence gushed out from him and it climbed faster and faster. The amount of origin essence slowly materialized and slowed down after it reaches the C-Class level. Nogi's sudden eruption in strength only stopped at the peak of the B-Class level.

The smile on Nangong Jun's face froze and his mouth trembled in fear.

Nogi slowly walked towards the surprised Nangong Jun with calm and steady steps.

The Nangong Family's patriarch below the stage shook his head in dissatisfaction at Nangong Jun's embarrassing actions.

Nangong Jun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hastily calmed himself down.

"Both fighters, are you guys ready?!" 

Nogi nodded his head calmly, while Nangong Jun nodded in a bit of worry.

"Second match! Nogi versus Nangong Jun, begin!" 

Nangong Jun initiated the fight with swift punches, but Nogi calmly swatted each of the punch with one hand. Nangong Jun grew angry and threw a spinning back kick with all his strength. Nogi raised his right hand and leisurely caught Nangong Jun's foot. He then raised his left arm and threw a strong punch towards Nangong Jun's handsome face.

'Fuck! This guy intends to destroy my handsome face!' Nangong Jun thought in anger after barely evading the punch by moving his head at the side. 

He then kicked Nogi with his free foot, which made the latter let go of the Nangong Jun's foot that was on his grasp.

Nangong Jun punched and kicked while moving out of Nogi's range. Nogi evaded the attacks as he followed Nangong Jun, not allowing the guy to move out of his range.

'What a persistent guy! Fuck!' Nangong Jun was sweating buckets and his strength was slowly being drained from constantly attacking Nogi.

Nogi then dashed with much greater speed and arrived in front of Nangong Jun, greatly shocking the latter. Nogi threw punches on Nangong Jun and hit him several times despite his hasty evasion.

Every hit from Nogi was heavy and Nangong Jun slowly became listless. Punches rained down towards Nangong Jun and his bruised body finally collapsed after receiving the ninth consecutive punch.

Nangong Jun fell on the ground face first and his ass pointed towards the ceiling. What an embarrassing defeat!

"For the second match of the second round, Nogi from the Diamond Paradise Hotel and Casino wins!"
