Benji’s fist came charging forward like a meteor. The sheer force from it caused sounded out like one striking a metal gong. It was safe to say that even though Benji might not have used his full strength in that punch, he had used quite a significant amount, no less. He had already been provoked by Finnian not only by words alone but in how he could move around so quickly in avoiding Benji’s attacks. Finnian flew backward, crashing into a tree and knocking it over. The tree wasn’t overly big, but it was considerably thick. Benji was inwardly surprised to see this. To think someone like Finnian could do something like this was beyond expected. And what surprised Benji the most was the sensation he felt in his fist. Though slightly, he felt a numbing pain course his fist. He thought back to when he hit Finnian, and though he was certain his punch had connected, it still felt like he had hit a steel wall. The numbing sensation was proof of that notion, and he only felt this when he occ

Centurion, a world-class research organization, came to light around the time the Ravenwood incident had just reached the World government. Ravenwood wasn’t a big city, to begin with, but it wasn’t a backwater metropolis either, with a population of about 700- 900 thousand people. Not many people knew the details of it, but the news about Ravenwood had spread to some parts across the globe. At first, the news recorded the crime rate and death rate in Ravenwood had suddenly spiked to a whole new level, and if nothing was done to curb it, the city would be registered as felonious. This might not seem like much, but it was as grave as being a war-torn country. As this went on, the city attracted the attention of neighboring cities, which offered their military might to subdue the alarming increase in crime. But when those sent to fight didn’t return and numerous distress calls were sent forth, the alarm was raised yet again. This time around, it was because some videos were leaked, and

Benji sensed his opponent’s exhaustion in their last exchange. Though he had suffered by crashing through a boulder, he could tell that Finnian’s strength wasn’t as overbearing as used to be. In other words, he was getting tired. It was already scary to think what would have been the outcome of this fight if Finnian was in his top form. The lad indeed had the right to criticize them, thought Benji. The two clashed again and exchanged loud thumping blows that could make one think gorillas were fighting it out here.Bam!Their fists struck each other’s faces in unison, sending them sliding back. Unfortunately, Finnian was struck in his left eye. As someone with poor vision needing glasses, especially in his left eye, that blow had to be the most devastating of all. After coming to a halt, he clutched his left as his head span. It felt like drums were pounding in his head making him a lot disoriented while his vision blurred. Also, he hadn’t realized that Benji had started charging at hi

An elbow strike to the abdomen and a fist to the jaw came in quick succession. The strikes instantly threw Benji off his game, sending him stumbling backward. And just when he was yet to recover from the previous hits, another one came directly to his face. Finnian launched a knee strike unerringly at Benji’s face. And while the other strike was yet to have an impact, Finnian forcefully twisted his body for a kick to his opponent’s right ear.Benji was no doubt besieged from tricky angles. In a normal sense, though a tad tricky, Benji could defend those places. But because his momentum was already scattered by Finnian’s initial hits, his mind was jumbled, and more so now after suffering this many consecutive hits. Like one who was drunk to a stupor, like one who was drained of energy, Benji seemed to lose control of his body. He simply moved in rhythm to Finnian’s strikes, sadly, like a punching bag. Finally, he couldn’t bear it and plopped to the ground.Besides his eyes, Benji bled

Evan grew more and more infuriated after a series of failed attacking attempts. Finnian was like a fish that slip through his hands at the last moment. And he was even more baffled how Finnian could move so precisely in his condition.‘His left arm is obviously broken, from how limp it is,” Evan thought. He was slowly deducting Finnian’s weaknesses. Since overbearing skill didn’t work, he had to resort to thinking of ways to at least slow Finnian down. ‘His left eye has been closed the whole time, which could mean two things: he is either doing that on purpose or that eye is wounded too.’Granted that Evan thought of these two options, his instincts leaned to the last one. Since Finnian had one arm less, he would have to put forth his senses to the max to make up for the loss, especially when his opponent was an elite like Evan. Or so Evan thought. ‘It’s time I end this,’ thought Evan as his speed increased yet again.The trick this time around was to throw his opponent off his trail.
