Opponent

"I can"

A voice drifted over

For a few seconds, the whole battle stage went quiet. The voice had a commanding tone to it.

The people on the stage turned back to see where the voice was coming from. Soon, their eyes came to a stop at the doorway that led into the battle stage.

There stood a man who looked about 6'4, but his back was bent. He also had a skinny build, but the thing that stood out the most was his eyes.

He had the semblance of a snake.

Marcus looked at him coldly.

He knew this guy. He was actually once part of the assassins' unit. He was exceptionally good at mixing poison and was ruthless, cunning, and most of all, shameless.

His reputation had gotten him the nickname.

"devilsnake zhang"

Most people called him Snake, though.

Wang Ben looked directly at him and said, "Okay, pick your guy."

Wang Ben knew that Devilsnake Zhang had the authority to make such decisions, and unlike a majority of the people here, Wang Ben was one of the few that didn't fear him at all.

"Hey hey, hold up," said Devil Snake Zhang.

"You are really arrogant, Wang Ben. You believe your representative would never lose? " He continued.

He was right; Wang Ben was very confident.

Wang Ben just looked at him nonchalantly. Of course, he was confident. Why would he place a bet if he wasn't?

"What do we get if you lose ?"

Wang Ben said, "I will give you a ticket to the black water auction house."

A look of excitement suddenly filled Devilsnake Zhang's eyes. Even if Wang Ben had proposed something else, he would have asked for it to be changed to the ticket to the Black Water Auction House.

The Blackwater Auction House is one of the most famous auction houses in the south of the kingdom. They had the best items in there, from rare herbs to weapons forged out of rare ores. They even had skills for sale there and other things that a small time cadet such as himself couldn't even fathom.

But getting tickets into the auction house was close to impossible, especially for a cadet such as himself.

"Deal," Devilsnake Zhang said, he looked very excited.

"Muzi, go get those tickets for me," Zhang said, motioning to a young man among the candidates who had arrived with Ian.

A plain-looking young man stepped forward. He looked so ordinary, but for Devil Snake Zhang to put his trust in him, he would definitely have to be strong.

The youth stepped forward and marched toward the platform.

He looked like a real soldier. He was disciplined.

Wang Ben looked at the plain youth named Muzi with interest. Muzi was trying his best to hide his aura so the rest couldn't see it.

But

Wang Ben saw straight through him.

"Fatty Go Up"

Jack walked from behind Wang Ben and stood beside him.

That's right, it was the fatty jack that came forward to fight.

Frank had noticed the fatty for some time now, but he had no idea that the fatty would be the one to represent the infantry unit.

Meanwhile

The fat jack was feeling miserable. Wang Ben and Knuckles had been chasing him for a while.

And now they want him to represent the infantry unit?

In normal circumstances, he would have refused vehemently, but he didn't want knuckles to beat him up.

And he didn't find the cadet ian and zhang pleasing to the eyes.

The crowd looked at him in anticipation. Jack had bragged a few times about how he defeated Cadet Luke.

Although they all despised Luke, it took a lot to defeat him, so they were surprised when they heard that a candidate had managed to defeat him.

Some who didn't bother to do their research flat-out said he was lying, but although they didn't believe it, they anticipated the fight all the same.

Slowly, Jack ascended the stage. This was the first time Frank had seen him get like this. He was superimposing, and his presence made everyone perceive him as a giant. He also had a broad smile filled with confidence.

They soon stood opposite each other on the platform.

"Begin" wang Ben's voice echoed

"boom"

Jack had disappeared.

The whole crowd was stunned and quickly looked around the platform.

"Where did he go?" they thought.

"Look behind you," one of the bystanders from the scout's side screamed.

The fatty was already behind Muzi.

Some people closed their eyes after hearing "boom."

"It was over like that?" they thought.

But contrary to what they thought, Muzi stood there like a rock that couldn't be pushed back.

Wang Ben smiled.

He was right.

"This guy was definitely not a candidate from the scouts," he thought.

The scouts would normally dodge; they specialized in keeping themselves alive, so the skills they mostly learned had to do with running and dodging.

He didn't say anything because the guy was just a candidate and could simply say he wanted to join the scouts unit.

They had definitely schemed against the infantry unit.

And where is this guy from originally?

He had a good guess.

"The Knights Unit"

Jack smiled at Muzi. This dude was stronger than he had thought.

Of course, he was only testing the waters to have an accurate gauge of his opponent's strength.

"Take this punch" Muzi was excited, but the blank look on his face remained

He punched out

But unlike him, Jack dodged

"Where are you going?" Muzi smiled and shifted the angle of his body.

and punched him once more.

The fatty kept dodging

He looked like he was having a hard time.

But when Frank saw his expression, he knew that the fatty jack was hiding his strength.

Muzi was slowly getting irritated.

"What is wrong with this guy?" he thought.

Although Muzi was a bit lightweight, he was fast, but he was not as fast as Jack.

He was slowly exhausting himself and he knew it, but he expected Jack to get exhausted before him.

He was sadly mistaken, though.

"Stop being a coward and fight like a man," Muzi screamed.

He stopped trying to attack Jack. He wanted to regain his strength.

But

He would be sadly mistaken to think that Jack would let the opportunity slip.

Jack lounged at him and threw a kick.

"Sure"

He had taken the advantage.

The candidates from the scout unit frowned, but not as much as Devilsnake Zhang.

He didn't expect the candidate from the Knights unit to be losing so badly.

He was starting to panic.

He wanted the ticket badly, but what he feared the most was the leader.

He would flip his cap if he found out that Devilsnake had given "swift" to Wang Ben of all people.

But suddenly

"pheww"

The fatty jack was shot back a few steps this time.

Muzi looked angry now.

His aura changed completely It was a bit suffocating.

Frank looked at him with a bit of shock in his eyes. What was going on? He looked and felt like a completely different person.

The fatty jack soon regained himself.

But the look on his face was now one of excitement, he thought to himself.

"He has finally gotten serious."

A heavy punch was coming his way, but this time it was much more powerful

Jack didn't dodge, he only raised his fists to respond with kind.

"boom boom boom".

Nobody obstructed

And no one dodged that,

it was an all-out brawl.

Devilsnake Zhang and Ian looked on in anticipation. They were happy that Muzi didn't lose just like that because it would have cost them a lot.

The fight went on.

.....

The fight was brutal, but Jack got the advantage In defense, he was slowly winning and everyone knew it.

Wang Ben smiled and shook his head Jack was really talented.

"Stop!" Devilsnake shouted.

"It's a draw."

"Don't be a f*cking shameless snake. We can all see that the fatty has the upper hand and he will win." knuckles screamed

Knuckles also had no fear of devilsnake.

"You must think we are easy to bully," Wang Ben said while staring at Devilsnake Zhang coldly.

"If the fight goes on, we will only cause further damage to these promising candidates," Devilsnake Zhang said, adding that he sounded righteous.

As if he really cared for their safety.

"Black River City boys!!!! Surround them " Marcus shouted out loud.
