"So, you're not just bluffing, beautiful girl! It looks like I'll have to use force to get you!" Darsono licked his lips, his desire growing stronger.

"If you can, then do it! But don't regret it if I kill you!" Ratnasari replied. Her slender fingers fastened her twin swords back onto her back.

Some other customers hurriedly ran out of the tavern. They knew a fight was about to break out and wanted no part in it.

The elderly woman who owned the tavern could only remain silent, resigned to the fact that her only source of income was about to become a battleground for two warriors. Her face looked weary, and her eyes glistened with tears that would soon fall.

The tall, burly man’s emotions boiled over. With firm strides, he charged toward Ratnasari, launching his attack.

His large fist shot toward the young woman’s chest. But with just a sidestep, Ratnasari easily dodged the opening strike. Not only that, she counterattacked, landing a precise hit on the man's stomach, pushing him back

Arya was on stage number three, while Ratnasari was on stage number four.The adjacent battle arenas allowed the young warriors to sit together instead of being separated. They sat among the other participants waiting for their turn on both stages.Unexpectedly, Darsono was also assigned to stage number four, the same as Ratnasari. This made him excited and eager to teach the beautiful girl a lesson.The most difficult situation would be faced by the warriors on stage number two. The presence of Prince Purbaya, who was also in group two, certainly caused confusion among the other participants. As the crown prince of the Cakrabuana Kingdom, his position put the competitors in a dilemma. They couldn’t possibly dare to injure the crown prince, even though the tournament had no special rules.Participants were free to injure or even kill their opponents. Additionally, anyone who surrendered or stepped

    Prince Purbaya shifted his gaze toward Arya. A great fury radiated from his eyes. He was annoyed and enraged because his enjoyment of Ratnasari's beauty had been disrupted by the words of a mere commoner."No one dares to dictate me, you scoundrel! You are just a commoner and have no authority to control what I do!" he snapped."Weren't we all gifted with eyes by the gods to see? Then why do your guards forbid me from looking at you?" Arya sneered, showing not a hint of fear. "You and I are both creations of the gods—the only difference is our positions. You are a prince, and I am an ordinary man.""If you know that, then you should show me respect, for I am the son of a king!" Prince Purbaya retorted."Listen to my words, oh so-called honorable prince. I will respect anyone, but only if they are truly worthy of respect." Arya rose to his feet. "I respect those who value others, even a mere child. But you... with your inability to respect anyone, do you truly deserve to be honored?"E

    To confirm his suspicions, the ruler of Jaya Buana Kingdom asked, "Where do you come from, young man?""I represent the Sacred Staff School in this tournament, Your Majesty," Arya replied, keeping his gaze lowered to the ground. He felt a deep respect for King Wijaya Kusuma, whom he considered a wise ruler."That’s not what I asked. Where are you from, and who are your parents?" the king asked again."I do not know, Your Majesty. I lost my memory and have no recollection of where I come from or who my parents are," Arya answered without hesitation, as he truly had no knowledge of his origins.A deep furrow appeared on King Wijaya Kusuma's forehead. The middle-aged man then whispered to Bayu Aji."Could it be, Your Majesty?" Bayu Aji asked curiously."Just follow my orders and confirm whether my suspicions are correct or not. Go now!""As you command, Your Majesty." Bayu Aji bowed in respect and immediately left the place.Prince Purbaya was curious about what his uncle had ordered Bay

    Ratnasari looked at Darsono, who was sitting among the other participants. With a bright smile, the beautiful girl gave him a thumbs-up—only to turn it downward.Darsono's eyes widened in shock. Seeing his friend humiliated so easily had already angered him, but Ratnasari's mocking gesture made it even worse.The tall, muscular, bald man immediately stood up, his fists clenched tightly as he struggled to control his emotions. If this weren’t an official tournament held by the palace, he would have rushed onto the stage to fight the girl himself."Get up, Wismaya... Fight her! Don't bring shame to our school!" he shouted loudly to encourage his friend.Wismaya got up, feeling humiliated. He wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand and tasted its salty bitterness as it trickled down to his lips.Darsono’s shout was like a whip of motivation, pushing him to fight harder. He couldn’t afford to be disgraced in front of so many people—especially as a disciple of the Red Eagle

    Arya stepped toward the stairs to greet Ratnasari, who was descending from the stage. The audience, all of whom were men, pushed forward, eager to get closer to the beautiful warrior who had now become their new idol.However, they were left disappointed when Arya walked away while holding Ratnasari’s hand. The beautiful girl with dimples was taken aback by his sudden gesture.Ratnasari’s face flushed red with embarrassment, but she did not pull her hand away from the handsome young man. There was an unfamiliar sensation, a strange thrill she felt at that moment.Arya himself only just realized that he was holding Ratnasari’s hand. He quickly let go as they arrived at a small tavern—the very place where Ratnasari and Darsono had clashed the day before.After ordering food, they chose a table near the window. They wanted to keep an eye on the stage, so they decided on that particular spot.A moment later, the elderly woman who owned the tavern approached them, carrying their meals in h

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Battle at the Inn

    Darsono and his dozen companions finally walked away from Arya’s room. After the members of the Red Eagle Sect descended the stairs, Arya followed them.The late night and the closed eateries gave Darsono and his friends more freedom to act. They had no hesitation in beating up—or even killing—the young man.Other guests had heard the commotion outside Arya’s room, but none cared enough to get involved.Once outside, the dozen Red Eagle Sect members stood facing the inn's entrance, standing arrogantly as they awaited Arya’s arrival."So, you're brave after all, young man. I didn’t expect you to come out and face us," said one of Darsono’s tall and lanky friends."What should I be afraid of from pests like you? Honestly, you’re not even worth my time. But since your friend keeps chasing after my beloved with his dirty tricks, I have no choice but to teach him a lesson—so he learns to respect women!" Arya retorted with a mocking smile directed at Darsono."Shut your mouth, you insolent

    Fear and shame mixed into one, preventing Darsono from thinking clearly. The tall, burly man then stood up and drew his sword."Hahaha... Even if you use your sword to fight me, it will mean nothing! Your life will still be taken in an instant!" Ratnasari sneered. Her fingers tensed, forming claws ready to tear Darsono's body apart.Ignoring Ratnasari's taunts, Darsono lunged forward and swung his sword with all his might. His focus was no longer on satisfying his lust but on killing the beautiful girl. He had been utterly humiliated in front of the inn's guests.A faint sound of air splitting accompanied the swing of his large sword."Die!" he shouted loudly.Darsono was confident that his attack could not possibly be blocked by the unarmed Ratnasari.And he was right. Ratnasari could not possibly stop the fast-approaching sword with her bare hands, but she easily dodged the attack by leaping to the side.Then, she dashed forward, aiming her claws at Darsono’s unprotected neck.Howev

    Without them realizing it, the public's enthusiasm for watching the tournament grew after hearing rumors that a female participant had a beautiful face and an alluring figure. This was proven by the large crowd of spectators cramming around Stage Four, where Ratnasari was competing.Stage Three was no less crowded, but most of the audience consisted of young women in their adolescence. They had gathered after hearing whispers about a participant who was exceptionally handsome. To verify the rumors, they willingly squeezed in among the other spectators.Estimating that they still had about two hours before the tournament resumed, Arya and Aji visited their favorite small food stall to fill their stomachs.

    "It's useless for you to use that rusty staff, Uncle! You'd better surrender before embarrassing yourself even more," Arya offered."Surrendering is not in my mind, you bastard! You will feel how hard my iron staff is!" Sutajaya retorted.Arya let out a heavy sigh. It seemed he really had to use force to defeat the man.Before Sutajaya could move forward to launch an attack, Arya shot forward with incredible speed, aiming a punch at his opponent's chest. Although Sutajaya's iron staff was still spinning rapidly, Arya's punch managed to break through and sent the middle-aged man flying off the stage.For a moment, the audience fell into a stunned silence. They were still in shock at what had just happened. To ordinary spectators or warriors with low-level martial skills, Arya's movement was completely invisible. All they saw was Sutajaya suddenly being thrown off the stage, while Arya stood exactly where Sutajaya had been standing.King Wijaya Kusuma was equally astonished. However, wh

  • Arya vs Sutawijaya

    Arya smirked. "What's the point of taking a stance if you're going to lose anyway?""Bastard! Don't blame me if you die today. I've had enough of your insults, boy!" Sutawijaya shouted before lunging forward with an opening attack.A punch, reinforced with inner strength, shot forward at great speed, aiming straight for Arya's face. The middle-aged man was confident that the young man would not be able to dodge his swift and powerful attack.But his certainty was gravely mistaken. The handsome young man did not dodge at all. Instead, he met his opponent's attack head-on, choosing to clash fists.Sutawijaya was shocked and could not believe the boldness of his opponent. But his disbelief was soon replaced by another realization—his body was pushed back several steps due to the impact of their clash."Impossible!" he gasped. He couldn't hide the astonishment on his face when he saw that the young man hadn't even budged.The spectators below were equally shocked, including King Wijaya Ku
