Popped up in my view.
‘right forgot about this. Its nearly been 24 hours, interesting’
Jack’s opponent smirks while looking at him, just like with the muscular man.
In fact the crowd weren’t placing much hope for Jack, most were able to see Jack’s level and it being level 34!
A level 34 versus a level 40! Even people close or at level 40 struggled fighting them!
Jack freezes both his hands in ice; blows cold air at the man which was dodged by the man. Giving him no time to rest, Jack encases the bottom of his feet in ice energy and spreads it to the direction of the man; freezing the ground which surprises the man and led him to slip!
The crowd started to laugh!
In the spur of the moment, Jack blasts a small beam of ice energy at the fallen man!
The beam hits the ground,freezing it and releasing mist, but the man back flipped backwards from the floor by pushing his arms up. It was quite cool.
Before something could be said, suddenly a fist heads straight to Jack’s face at a speed that is hard to follow to anyone below level 45!
Swoosh!
Jack’s head swayed to the side instantaneously before Jack could understand that a fist was directed straight to his face! Even the crowd only realized the attack AFTER Jack dodged it!
‘damn…that was close…that can’t be the speed of a level 40!’
The crowd, the man and the chubby man all had shocked faces that Jack managed to actually dodge that punch with insane speeds!
The man didn’t stop and continued to attack Jack with his fists but aiming not just his head but other weak points of his body!
swoosh!
Dodge!
swoosh!
Dodge!
As the man kept attacking, Jack kept dodging, giving him no room to recover! All he kept doing is dodging and dodging without any form of rest!
At this point the crowd and chubby man wandered if Jack hid his true power! The crowd started cheering for Jack which attracted the rest of the people in the street who could hear it and joined in to see the spectacle.
The chubby man looked surprised by Jack’s skill and wandered if he was above level 45 yet when he tried sensing him all he got is a level 34 person!
‘He isn’t using more power to dodge the attacks, he is using all his power right now! Is he seriously that level and keeping up with Jin!” The chubby man thought to himself.
‘damn it! Jin might increase his power above the agreed amount! If he does this then it will be obvious he isn’t level 40!’ The chubby man started to be more anxious rather then excited as the fight continued.
On the other hand Jack body is in a lot of pain! His body keeps going over his limit! It keeps dodging early but even then still needs to push itself to completely dodge all his attacks!

Your probably wandering how Jack is managing to keep up with the man, simply its because of the experience Jack has! He has been in many battles and especially in his younger days and has been in many life threatening situations way more then anyone else! Even if his power is so low, he still has a lot of experience and with all the battles he has had, this lead him to develop insane muscle memory for fighting! Moreover the muscle memory lead him to develop battle and survival ‘instincts’ meaning even if he can’t comprehend a attack, his body will automatically take action to survive thus giving him insane reflexes!
His instinct doesn’t just allow him to survive from people stronger then him, it also allows him to fight them thanks to the battle knowledge he has. However if the opponent is far too strong and the gap between them is way too large then his instincts would tell him to run or focus everything on defense!
‘Damn it! This is so painful! As if I am swimming in lava! My body hurts and it burns! This guy, no way he can be level 40! HIS POWER KEEPS INCREASING!Damn it, I don’t have the time to check! He won’t let me rest!’

‘This guy is no amateur’ Jack thought to himself while barely dodging his attacks.
swoosh!whoosh!pwoosh!cloosh?!
[8 seconds left]
‘why doesn’t he just give up’ Thoughts like these began to be thought by the crowd. They won’t blame Jack for giving up as he has survived for so long.
[6 seconds left]
Jack’s body has started to slow down an occasionally been hit by the man named Jin but ignores all the damage to survive
[3 seconds left]
more damage have started to acc.u.mulate on Jack but luckily they are not serious as he dodges most of the serious blows and the one that did it hit, Jack’s body moves back to reduce its momentum.
[1 second left]
‘damn it, I can’t hold on, my body is giving in’
