Proud Skill

Mr. Tong inside the VIP box was still calm and steady but was frowning and looking disappointedly, "He still need some training and experience. I thought he was ready."

His eyes were intently staring at Paul, the blue light that was surrounding Paul began to increase and parted in many parts. These few fragmented blue light turned dark blue and became sharp as a knife.

Paul smiled confidently as he raised his hand, showing the sharp blue lights, "Behold! My magnificent Energy Knives!", Paul laughed, proud of himself.

When Rin saw the skill Paul was proud of, he first thought, 'Is that really something to be proud of?', it was really unsurprising but still, the fact that the Natural Energy can't only just strengthen one's body but use it in many different ways opened a new door to Rin. He always witness the grandiose capability of the Gods and never once hope to attain it but in front of him, if this man, Paul could do it, how can he not?

Rin chuckled, "Hehe, you think you can win?"

"Huh?", Paul paused.

When Mr. Tong saw this, he shouted in his head, 'Idiot! Just finish him off!'

"You know that I am at the First Stage of Focus, right?", Rin left his stance and stood up straight.

"Yeah… and what about it?", Paul deeply inhaled and exhaled, it was hard to keep this skill active but he still chose to listen to Rin.

"Have you ever seen me use it?", Rin spread his arms. Blood flowed and fell to the ground from his right hand.

Only know did Paul realized it. This was his debut match. Which mean that this is no surprise if this is his first serious battle. He was inexperienced enough to get scared to a person at a stage lower than him just from a few words.

Paul unconsciously stepped back.

Mr. Tong couldn't hold it any longer and said in the speaker, "He's just tricking you, you..!-", however, Mr. Tong quickly regained his cool and stop halfway.

Paul looked above to his father and nodded.

Mr. Tong could only slap his face, 'How could you face this way in the middle of a fight?!'

"Heh…", Rin took this chance and rushed forward. He raised his left hand with the intention to punch Paul in the face.

Paul got surprised when he realized how Rin was close. He panicked and stepped back again but this time, he pushed the air with both of his hand and the three energy knives flew to Rin's left fist.

The three energy knives hit Rin's fist successfully, stopping his punch.

Mr. Tong sighed a relief but was surprised when he saw what happened next.

Paul spun when something hit him in his left cheek.

The crowds gasped when they were caught unprepared by the sudden development. They saw that Rin's another surprise attack was stopped but how did Paul spun and plopped onto the ground? It is impossible for Rin to attack using his feet as it was physically impossible in his position.

It was very obvious from the start o what Rin used to attack but the ones who are watching including Mr. Tong subconsciously denied it.

Rin's right hand was currently raised in the air, proof that it was used. Faint smokes float from the surface of his fist. Under that hood's shadow, pair of golden eyes faded into its shadow which nobody noticed as they were focused on Rin's right hand.

"Did he used his right hand to make that attack?"

"Isn't that injured already? He didn't even used it after the impact!"

"Wait, did he used it even after it got injured?"

"This kid…"

The crowds wanted to shout in excitement but glanced at Mr. Tong who's just staring with a dumbfounded face.

Even Mister Yita who came back after he took care of the unconscious Dragger, sweated when he saw what had happened, 'He's not even that beaten up like before when he fought someone at the higher stage than him.'

Inside the cage, Rin looked around and wondered what's with the awkward silent.

"Umm, I'm ready for a challenge.", Rim didn't know the rules but he knew that as long as one can still fight, one can still stand inside the cage.

Mr. Tong hands were clutched tightly, nerves popping out while trembling. His face went red in anger but he kept it in again and flickered his finger and pointed at his son, lying on the ground unconscious with a red caved in cheek and a rolled eyes, leaving only the white.

He didn't explain further and the two bodyguards behind him disappeared and was seen running towards inside the cage. Both jumped over the walls of the cage and went inside easily.

The one took Paul and left while the other stood in front of Rin with an intent to kill.

"Okay, as you requested. Another… challenger.", Mr. Tong was keeping his rage well inside of him but felt calm when he said this and assumed that this will be a relief.

The bodyguard with a black suit and tie straight out of a movie only without sunglasses and an earbud nodded. This doesn't just looked like a veteran but it is one.

He showed his power and dark blue light surrounded him, pressuring Rin but Rin took it as nothung. The bodyguard was at the Fourth Stage of Focus but it was still far from Rin whi already experienced a God's pressure.

Rin sighed and stepped forward, "Master did say that I will fight until the sun rise up."

The bodyguard frowned and wondered why the Natural Energy usage of a Fourth Stage of Focus practitioner didn't pressure this kid that was only in the First Stage of Focus.
