Fighter Anteriority - Part 9

Heero climbed down from the stage under the hot eyes of the crowd. There was one thing that could not be answered, how did this young man sneak onto the stage?

Yes, the audience did not see Heero's movement. What they did know was that the huge flame disappeared and the young man appeared.

According to Wu Weimin's words, the young man was the one who stopped the huge flame. However, the audience did not see him move onto the stage.

Only a few people noticed Heero's movement. Those people were Heero's disciples and Bai Xin Yue.

Even Kang Seo-Yeon could not see or feel the man near her move. Kang Sang-Hee was also stunned when she saw Heero suddenly appear on the stage.

The guy was sitting four seats away from her, but in a flash, he appeared on the stage. It was as if Heero had teleported onto the stage.

In a luxurious box where the Myth Guild sat, Palinho elbowed the big guy, Cale, "Doesn't this young man look familiar to you, Cale?"

Palinho's words attracted the Myth Guild Master who was standing near the glass. He looked at Heero who was walking back to his seat. He turned and looked at Palinho and Cale.

"Do you know him?"

"We don't know him, but we met him once, Guild Master! He is the owner of Xing District, where Smith Huang works, if I am not mistaken," Palinho told of their encounter with Heero.

After hearing that, the Myth Guild Master looked back at the young man, "Maybe he's the rumored master of Sun Zhou Yi... But he's too young..."

*** ***

The first semi-final ended with an upset. When everyone thought that Wu Weimin would make it to the final, Kang Dong-Woo used his awakening ability to defeat the 1st seed.

While the spectators were still talking about Kang Dong-Woo's match, the next semi-finalists entered the arena.

Xu Lingxun entered the arena wearing his usual martial arts attire and protective gear. His figure immediately caught the spectators' attention, as he had the same root as Kang Dong-Woo. They were both from the same academy, the Heero Academy.

However, Xu Lingxun's opponent was wearing striking black armor. Yes, the second prince of the Regal Kingdom, Benjamin Rowland Kingsman, walked in with black armor covering his entire body.

He looked like a medieval knight, with only two eyes to be seen. The black armor also slowed him down.

For the first time, Benjamin went to the weapons rack. He took a shield and a longsword before climbing onto the stage.

Once on the stage, he pointed the sword at Xu Lingxun and declared, "I know you are from the same academy as Kang Dong-Woo. You're not weak, so let's go all out and fight to our heart's content!"

Xu Lingxun blinked as he looked at the black knight in front of him. The armor seemed to be heavy, restricting Benjamin's movement.

"Are you sure? I mean, you are wearing heavy armor, your movement will be restricted with that!" Xu Lingxun commented.

"Hahaha... Don't worry about me! This is my way of countering your crazy speed!" Benjamin replied with a hearty laugh.

Yang Mushen just shook his head at the exchange between the two children. Satisfied that the two contestants were ready, he called for the match to begin.

"Start!"

Xu Lingxun immediately rushed towards his opponent. Just like before, he always took the initiative to attack.

Benjamin's golden eyes shone with excitement, "Come! Come to me and I will crush you!

However, Xu Lingxun stopped abruptly as a sword appeared a few inches from his throat. Benjamin reacted quickly and read his movement.

"Hahaha... You can't just beat me with your speed!" Benjamin laughed out loud. When he was on stage, he no longer had any royal blood in him.

No matter how fast you are, I can read your every move with my eyes!

But he soon realized that his opponent was smiling at him. He had just broken his fast movement, but his opponent was not the least bit upset. It was as if his opponent was happy that he was able to break his overwhelming speed.

With a smile, Xu Lingxun said, "Then how about this!"

After uttering these words, he took three steps back. Then Benjamin opened his eyes wide in shock as he could not believe what he saw.

He saw Xu Lingxun's figure split into three. Yes, he saw three Xu Lingxun. The three figures immediately blurred in such a short time.

Of the three figures, he could only make out the movement of one figure. This figure rushed towards him, facing him directly.

Without hesitation, Benjamin thrust his longsword forward. To his surprise, his longsword pierced the figure, but no blood came out. He realized that the figure before him was an illusion.

Bang!

Then he felt a tremor at his left waist. He looked down and saw a fist connecting with his black armor. However, he did not feel the slightest pain, Benjamin did not even move from where he was.

The figure splitting into three made him panic, but now Benjamin was much calmer as he swung his sword at Xu Lingxun.

Such a clumsy attack was easily dodged. Xu Lingxun jumped back and looked at the fist that hit the black armor. His fist had turned red, and Yang Mushen noticed this as well.

Xu Lingxun could not help but look at the referee. His face said, "Isn't it unfair to use such high-quality equipment?

Even the weapon provided in the armory had no way to break the armor.

Yang Mushen rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders, his face telling the boy, "Why didn't you protest from the beginning?

Xu Lingxun shook his head and thought to himself, 'After all, I have to do everything to break the armor...'

He closed his eyes for three seconds, 'Concrete Ki in my fist...'

As soon as he opened his eyes, Xu Lingxun lunged forward with an extremely fast movement. However, such a simple move was easily read by Benjamin as a sword immediately greeted Xu Lingxun.

However, Xu Lingxun brushed the sword aside with a light slap. It looked like a light slap, but the sword slipped out of Benjamin's hand.

"Huwaaa!" The spectators shouted at the sight.

With the sword dropped, Xu Lingxun faced Benjamin, who was only holding a shield. Benjamin immediately raised the shield. Xu Lingxun fired his first shot at the shield.

Bang!

The shield was pierced by the fist and landed on Benjamin's chest.

Arghhhh!

Benjamin let out a groan of pain. He let go of the shield as he staggered back a few steps. There was a sharp pain where the fist had landed.

He looked down and found a fist mark on his armor. With a look of disbelief, he looked up at his opponent. Xu Lingxun removed the shield from his hand and threw it outside.

With no shield and no weapon in his hand, and with the armor restricting his movement, Benjamin realized that he had lost.

"It hurts..." Benjamin rubbed the dent in his armor as he muttered. Then he noticed that Xu Lingxun was about to make his move again.

Benjamin immediately raised his hand, "I surrender!"

What a joke, continuing the fight was the same as torture. He was a piece of heavy iron, an easy target for someone as fast as Xu Lingxun.

Sigh! I counter the speed with a heavy defense, which instead cost me a defeat!

"Xu Lingxun won!"

"Woaaaaa!!!" The end of the second semi-final was once again unexpected. The dark horse defeated the top seed once again. Moreover, this time, the second seed was defeated after less than five minutes of fighting.

As soon as Yang Mushen announced the winner, the big screen showed the last name to advance to the Junior Event final of Fighter Anteriority.

[Kang Dong-Woo (#18) vs. Xu Lingxun (#20)].

What made this match interesting was that both contestants were dark horses. Not only that, but they were both from the same academy.
