RISE OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR - Chapter 72 New enemies new fights
The second day of the fight saw Ronan take on a level 70 warrior , and for the first time ever he felt the pinch.
Ronan was not only slower and had shorter reach , but head to head he even lost on power. His only advantage was his short frame which helped him duck and evade enemy attacks.
However for the first time since entering the Tournament , Ronan was truly on the defensive with no room to rally.
Jab ! Jab ! Kick ! Jab!
Evade ! Evade ! Block! Evade!
The two fighters were locked in a intricate dance of moves that was greatly appreciated by the audience , however the clan leaders of various big clans were utterly stupefied seeing Ronan’s performance as the kid was not supposed to hang in the battle for so long against a vastly superior opponent.
” What technique , what temperament . This kid is a real gem. At only 9 , his future is limitless “.
” Clan leader we need to scout this talent or end it , such a talent cannot be allowed to grow “.
” Indeed , you are right “..
Similar discussions broke all across the other major factions however karna only sneered at the audacity .
With him present there was no threat to Ronan , which was the only reason he brought him to the martial arts tournament in the first place.
As the first rounds bell rang , a heavily sweating Ronan returned to his corner.
” He’s good “. Ronan said with ragged breaths as Karna offered him cool water.
” So what’s the plan? “. karna asked , not offering any advice.
” Give him a taste of the raging punch , I’m sure he will appreciate “. said Ronan as he grinned with an dashing smile.
The martial arts that Ronan practiced was the source of his confidence. Being one of the best in the world the power it could produce was truly extraordinary and could injure even a vastly superior opponent.
As Ronan returned for round two , he immediately took the stance to produce raging fist.
” A new stance eh boy? well let’s see what you got “. the opponent said with confidence as he himself began to unravel his own martial art.
” ITS THE MYSTIC SEA KICK ! “. someone from the audience shouted as the audience started to clamour in a uproar.
The mystic sea kick was the number one martial arts of the mystic sea clan which was only taught to direct descendants of the clan.
” BEHOLD! “. The opponent said as he started his footwork which looked like he was walking on the surface of water as he closed in the distance between him and Ronan.
” It’s over … “. he said as he attempted a front foot kick with immense power and gusto.
Ronan was calm as he saw the opponent making his move and he had long calculated that he would not be able to evade the move , hence he bet it all on the strength of his martial arts as he produced a sonic boom as he punched with the raging fist meeting his enemies attack head on.
BAM!
The attack immediately broke Ronan’s wrist , however it did an even greater damage to his opponent whose legbone was crushed to powder along with his waistbone .
” AGHHHHHH ” A scream resounded inside the arena as the man screamed and rolled on the floor in pain , as the match refree checked on him before calling it a win for Ronan .
The mystic sea clan leader was in complete rage over this decision as he said ” IMPOSSIBLE , THE BOY USED ELEMENTAL AFFINITY , HIS FISTS PIERCED THE WIND , KILL HIM “.
However the match refree only coldly looked onto the mystic clan leader as his level 104 strength deterred everyone .
The crowd was also in shock over the outcome as nobody could beleive that a 9 year old brat could actually defeat such a powerful warrior as everyone accused Ronan of cheating , drowning him with jeers and Boo’s .
However the referee’s words shut everyone up.
The refree said ” The move was a genuine martial arts , the crystal in my pocket would turn red if anyone mobilized their elemental affinity and since it did not i can affirm that it was indeed a martial arts move.
the decision i have given is final and those who dare question my judgement will be barred from the coming years Tournaments “.
This made the Mystic sea clan leader shut his mouth as he glared daggers at Ronan , but was unable to exact his revenge.
” What the hell was that ? , what a terrifying martial arts! “.
” Since when did the Rajput clan have such a powerful martial arts? “.
” Who exactly is this boy ?”.
The crowd had many questions , however with Ronan reaching the quarter-finals he was no longer viewed as a common kid.
With a broken wrist and the fights ahead sure to be getting harder and harder . Ronan’s future in the tournament looked bleak.
