“I will use him to improve my skills,” Felix said with a smile as he looked at Vane. POWERFUL HAND In silence, Vane quickly threw a fist at Felix, who lifted a hand to block it and countered with a punch that Vane surprisingly caught with his own hand. "You have strength, so I won't waste my time with trivial techniques," Vane smirked as he delivered a jump kick that sent Felix flying backward. GROUND STOMP A powerful presence suddenly radiated from Vane, surrounding Felix and reaching the spectators. He drove his legs into the ground and crouched before propelling himself toward Felix, the force causing the stage beneath him to give way. As the attack drew near, Felix recognized the seriousness of the situation and responded with a punch, channeling 60% of his full strength. He had deliberately restrained his rank; otherwise, even a mere 5% of his power would have easily surpassed Vane. When they both collided, Felix was indeed pushed backward. "To gain the upper hand, you must
"What are your thoughts on him?" The Emperor inquired with a serene demeanor, his gaze fixed on Felix from above. "He's powerful and a threat; we must eliminate him," Shadow responded with a scowl. "You mean train him," Alexander remarked while watching Felix with a steady gaze. "He’s concealing his real status," Mei Ling, the silver-haired woman, remarked with luminous eyes. "Hmm, nothing escapes your keen observation; let's find out what your grandson is capable of," Griffin remarked with a smile. ********************************************** "The next match is about to begin; both participants are requested to step onto the stage," the referee declared after 10 minutes. "Huu, let's get this started; I've got three more people to confront," Felix said as he performed a few squats. "If I haven't won after 20 minutes, then I will admit defeat," Justin said calmly, his purple hair flowing in the wind. "Rest assured, this won't take much time," Felix remarked with a sm
"Four steps forward, then a punching skill. Counter: replicate the punching skill, followed by a kick," Justin murmured to himself. Immediately, Felix, positioned directly in front of him, surged forward four steps and delivered a punch. FURIOUS PUNCH Justin, having foreseen this, stepped back and executed the same technique that countered Felix's assault, then delivered a kick to his groin. Felix managed to block it but was still propelled backward. "If he can anticipate my actions before I even make them, what happens if he loses that ability to see my movements?" Felix beamed as he ramped up his speed to 50%. He accelerated, yet it's still not his best; he's restraining himself. "I'll show him the consequences of underestimating me," Justin muttered to himself, lifting his sword in preparation for the strike. As Felix stood just a few feet away from Justin, he abruptly transformed into a shadow and vanished. "Hmm, where could he have gone?" Justin was taken aback; even h
"Hmm, three arrows to my right, two to my left," Felix murmured as he leaped into the air. He did so without hesitation. Five arrows whizzed by his former position and detonated, but by then, he had already evaded danger. Felix contemplated his next move, a conflicted expression on his face. 'I need to finish this battle quickly, but I don't want to cause her any harm,' he pondered. "Being disoriented in combat is a grave error," Felix heard a chilling voice declare as a slender, elongated blade descended towards him. "That was a narrow escape." Hold on, she can wield a sword as well. Felix thought to himself, "Now I understand why she is regarded as the most skilled weapons user among the elite," as he narrowly evaded the sword. "You are quick, but are you quick enough?" Mulan declared as she swiftly transitioned to her bow and released a flurry of arrows. 'I need to finish this quickly,' Felix declared as he veered to the right, charging towards her with all his might before unl
The emperor looked to see who had stabbed him and exclaimed, "You...why." Yes, it's me, and the reason is—well, that's obvious—I'm just doing this for my family. Alexander grinned and gave his explanation. "My father and grandfather encountered prejudice when they first arrived on this continent, but by their own efforts, they established a reputation that allowed us to stay informed about the continent's happenings. "So you've been a spy all along? Did you really believe we were easy targets? I knew we shouldn't have trusted him. Six against one is the situation. Shadow grinned and said. Alexander laughed and remarked, "Actually, it's 6 on 4" as he looked at two bright streaks of light that were getting closer to him. "Ah, sorry we're late; we encountered some problems on the way, but it's taken care of." Their appearance became apparent as the streaks of lights approached; three demons holding swords that were drenched with blood. Alexander smiled and replied, "Oh, actually, we
Did you really believe that you could enter the city and do anything you wanted? Demon, you are going to pay with your life for daring to enter my city." The man cracked his knuckles and said, "With a friend." "My target isn't you, old man; let me take that child and leave, and nobody gets hurt." The devil stated, glancing at Felix. "What expression would I have if I allowed a demon such as yourself to enter my city and abduct a child in that manner? I apologize, but I would have to turn down your offer since I've been itching for a fight with someone who is on the same level as me." The man shook his head in response, igniting his battle spirit. "Well as you wish, but don't expect me to go easy on you." The demon said while clenching his fists and holding two swords that had condensed from demon flames. "The same." The man smiled and drew back his own weapon, a halberd. Felix nodded and added, "Hmm, pure mana condensation—that's a sign of the B rank." It was wise of him to not un
"Nooooo!" Felix's scream pierced the air as he witnessed Goro's brutal act, snapping the man's neck with a chilling ease before discarding him like a ragdoll onto the cold, hard ground. "Huh, oops, it seems his neck wasn't as strong as he thought," Goro remarked with a smirk, watching Felix writhe in pain as he attempted to rise. “Where do you think you’re going, huh?” "Just sit back and enjoy the show," Goro declared, striding over to Felix and seizing his arms with a firm grip. With a sudden, sharp sound, the silence was shattered, echoing through the stillness like a warning bell. The atmosphere shifted, tension crackling in the air, as if something momentous was about to unfold. "Arrrg, my arms!" Felix's anguished cry pierced the air as he tumbled to the earth, his body wracked with pain. He lay there, suffering from severe internal injuries, his arms broken and twisted at unnatural angles. "Better. Now, where were we?" Goro approached another person, a smile lighting up his f
“What are your secrets?” The demon, marked by a crescent, smirked as he intensified the pressure on Felix, leaving him gasping for breath. 'System, how many more times can I wield the light hand?' Felix inquired with great effort, a sense of impending doom weighing heavily upon him. Your mana wanes, leaving but one final opportunity; the fleeting surge of power is on the brink of fading away. "Just a moment, I need to voice this, but the pressure is overwhelming," Felix forced the words out, his teeth clenched tightly. "Alright, just promise me you won't do anything reckless." The demon's voice dripped with malice as he lifted his grip from Felix, who gasped for air, blood spilling from his lips in a gruesome display. "This is my secret," Felix declared, lifting his palm in a gesture of revelation. "I can't see anything," the demon remarked, a frown etched across its face. With a hushed breath, Felix exclaimed, "Boom," as a brilliant light erupted from his palm. "Arrrrrg!" The
