At that moment, Alex had already met up with Nathan and the others. According to the rules, every
participating unit required five participants in total to fight in the tournament, deciding the winners in the
process. Only the top five winners would be able to win the project. They would first crown the
champion, then the others accordingly. This battle was very different compared to the exchange
program in the morning.
The venue was different as well. They had purposefully built a large stage the size of a football field for
this battle alone. It was an enclosed area with extremely bright lights, making it no different to day time.
Participants were required to show their invitations at the entrance. However, Alex didnât expect to see
Beatrice at the entrance as well. Her group of friends somehow managed
to get themselves invitations and walked right into the venue.
Next to them was a young fighter who was a Beginner-Royal rank fighter. Alex could take him down
with one shout.
Just then, Alex noticed that this fighter was a grade-A liar. He was able to bluff about literally
everything. He told them that he was an Intermediate-Mystic rank fighter, claiming that he could kill a
tiger with one
punch.
Beatrice and the others fell for it as they expressed their excitement and adoration. That man kept
taking glances at Beatriceâs cleavage. It was obvious that he was up to no good. However, this
man was still fairly knowledgeable. He at least knew about many fighters at the venue. âLook, thatâs the
Naib family from Washington. Theyâre the fifth in the SCBA.
âThe Naib family is a branch of a certain Buddhist clan. Their ancestors were disciples of the clan and
had
mastered the Eight Fixed Palms, a very powerful martial art. They could smash a granite wall thatâs ten
centimeters thick with one hand! âAnd thatâs Delta Corp of Arizona. Wow, that corporation really is
something else. Theyâre more powerful
than the Naibs too!
Their CEO is an extremely skilled fighter who mastered the Golden Shield and the Steel
Cloth. Heâs basically invincible. I heard that bullets canât even go through his flesh!â
Beatrice was in awe. âReally? If bullets wonât hurt him, then isnât he like Superman?â
The young man enjoyed Beatriceâs reactions. Raising an eyebrow, he took a look at her cleavage
again. âWell, us fighters can run on rooftops and cross
rivers with just a mere stick So I guess normal people would see us as supermen!
â Wilson joined the conversation as well. âCrossing rivers with just a mere stick? Isnât that something
that only
Bodhidharma can do? Can other fighters do the same?â
The young man started bluffing again. âWhatâs so great about that? Fighters who have mastered
Feather
Walk can float on water and walk on seas!â
Beatrice asked, âAnton, can you walk on seas?â
The young man was Anton Zach. He let out a dry cough and said, âLet me prepare myself sufficiently
and
Iâll definitely be able to walk on the seas later on.â He thought to himself, âI didnât mention how far I can
walk though. Well, Iâd still be considered to be able to
walk on seas even if I walked a meter or ten miles.â
Beatrice couldnât sense the catch behind her words as her eyes were filled with adoration. âAnton, then
when
are you going to show us?â Anton stared at her beautiful face, excited. He couldnât help but pat her on
the back. âHey, little lady, I see
that youâre really interested in martial arts. No problem, Iâll just show you around after the battle. Iâll
even
help you see how much potential you have in your body.
And if I could, Iâd introduce you to my master and
ask him to take you as a disciple. We could teach you our martial arts as well.â
âReally? Thank you Anton!â Beatrice jumped up and down excitedly. She didnât know any of Antonâs
schemes at all. At that moment, a large group of people arrived, their aura was immense.
The president of SCBA, Philip Bale, had arrived with a few of his underlings. Anton lowered his voice
and whispered. âLook, thatâs the president of SCBA, Lord Bale! His reputation in
Michigan exceeds him. Heâs such a powerful figure that the whole of Michigan would be affected with
the
flick of his fingerâ¦
Shh, donât stare too much, those fighters can sense you so donât grab any attention to
yourself.â
At the same time, the crowd became livelier as well. Many SCBA members came to welcome Philip.
Just then, Lex was starting to feel nervous.
He turned to ask Alex, âMr. Rockefeller, the president of SCBA
is here, should we greet him?â
Lex couldnât help but shiver when seeing such a powerful figure like Philip.
