On the other side of the bar, Maxi stooped to avoid a right and then, with the help of his right foot, spun around quickly.
He grabbed his assailant's arm and pulled hard, making sure with his back that he lost his balance.
*boom*
His assailant flipped over in the air, his back landing hard on the ground.
This technical maneuver drew so applause from the nearby audience, much to their delight.
Unfortunately, before Maxi could reposition himself, two large n ard with stools ca up behind him and smashed them violently over his head.
Maxi stood up groggily, blood pouring from his forehead.
"Fuck-off!"
Saving nothing for defense, he swung an arm across the face of each assailant simultaneously. But his physique was such that this amateurish gesture with little power made both n recoil.
Quickly observing the situation, Maxi realized that he'd more or less lost.
He'd already been fighting for a few minutes, and although he'd been able to lay so of his opponents out on the ground thanks to his super-powered physique, his comrades couldn't exert such fighting ability in the sa situation.
Joe and Ronny were barely standing, passively taking blows. Only their minds were keeping them on their feet.
Terry had sohow managed to slip between the rcenaries and land precise but deadly blows, but he'd been caught by 2 rcenaries and in just a few blows was covered in blood.
Jas had also been caught by two of the rcenaries, but sohow kept on struggling while insulting them as "big bitch", which provoked so laughter from the audience.
As for Piedro, he seed to be rather calm as he withstood the blows without flinching in the slightest, maintaining a far from ordinary composure.
Izo was more or less the sa as Piedro, except that at least Piedro grimaced and seed to feel pain. Izo, on the other hand, was like a tireless machine, seeming to feel nothing. This even made his assailants tremble with fear.
Peter seed to have put his life on the line ever since a few rcenaries had amused themselves by telling him that once he'd caught him, he'd torture him in every possible and unimaginable way and then send him to hell.
On the other hand, Andrew threw all his strength into each of his blows, unafraid of the slightest counterattack. Wound for wound, he seed like a wild beast.
Romuald had the two gorillas who had blocked him on the ground not far from him. The latter were completely ko, lying half-broken in the middle of the table.
Romuald seed to be in a bad way from the state of his face, but his posture showed that he still wanted more.
If that was all, the situation was still pretty good, but the problem was that the rcenaries in front were tough as nails too.
Only 7 had been knocked out, 4 in total by Romuald and Andrew and the remaining 3 by Maxi.
And there were still more than a dozen who were only slightly injured, not to ntion their boss completely unscathed.
"Shit, this is an opportunity I can't afford to miss. I hope these rcenaries are pretty rich..."
"System, level up the peasant and swordsman classes to level 2."
Ding!
[50 gold subtracted]
[Peasant class increased by one level].
[Peasant class raised to level 3]
[ 0.1 points added to physique]

[The "Peasant" class has reached its maximum level].

[Minor strength talent added]

[30 gold subtracted]
[Swordsmanship class increased by one level]
[Swordsman class now level 3]

[Current physique: 1.95 ( 0.16)]
[Remaining balance: 100 gold coins]
Maxi clenched his hand, feeling imnse power in his body as if he'd beco indefatigable and could shatter a wall with a single punch.
Obviously it was only his imagination, but he had indeed already achieved a superhuman physique and his energy increased drastically.
The weakest generals in this world are only at this level.
But that's just in terms of physique, whether it's the skills they have in hand-to-hand combat or with various weapons, they're way above Maxi.
Even an elite soldier could defeat Maxi in a duel with a weapon because his skills are far too weak.
However, this kind of physics in a battle in a narrow area and without a weapon is perfect.
With a flash of thought, Maxi fixed his gaze on the instigator of this battle.
The latter put down his glass as he felt as if he had beco soone's prey. His body tensed instinctively as he placed both arms at a 90-degree angle in front of him.
The next instant he felt an imnse force press down on both his arms, throwing him from his chair and sending him tumbling to the floor.
The deafening noise instantly cald everyone as countless eyes fell on the young man with the blond hair, or rather the blond hair tinged with blood.
But he stood as straight as a spear, his expression looking as if he'd just done sothing extrely ordinary.
"Wow." declared a spectator.
"Fucking amazing!"
"Yeah, Pyrion the leader of the bloody bears just took off!"
"Haha we're witnessing the birth of a new legend who knows!"
"Yeah that guy's really strong, especially for his age!"
"His comrades are pretty strong too to last this long against the bloody bears who are experienced rcenaries!"
No matter what the surrounding noise, Maxi could always tell the difference.
And right now his aim was to create an extrely strong image of himself to attract more rcenaries to join him.
"Do you intend to stand up again, or shall I finish you off as you are?" declared Maxi in an indifferent tone.
The noise that had existed before fell silent, and the spectacle was fully appreciated.
"Haha, it's been a long ti since I found myself in such a state!" laughed Pyrion as he quickly got to his feet.
"What's your na, young man?" he asked curiously.
"Maxi, leader of the saber-toothed tiger rcenary group. And you?" replied Maxi with the sa curiosity.
In fact, the hostility between the two wasn't that great, and fights between rcenary groups were commonplace in this world.
In fact, it was a way of training mbers with minimal risk, while increasing one's reputation, notoriety and prestige.
Maxi had already worked on himself to change his perception of the world, as entering the rcenary world required adapting to its customs.
"Pyrion, leader of the Bloody Bears rcenary group," he replied with a smile.
The next second, he moved quickly and ferociously attacked Maxi.
"Shit, in terms of physique I'm probably above him but his fighting skills completely dominate ."
Maxi could only defend himself passively against the deluge of attacks.
"In that case, I can only do this..."
Maxi quickly detected a jab coming towards his face.
"An opportunity!"
As the jab hit his face, surprise could be seen on Pyrion's face.
"Shit, get off !"
"Haha now that I've got you, believe , I'm not about to let go!" declared Maxi with a grin.
Indeed, Maxi had sacrificed his defense to immobilize one of Pyrion's arms.
Then it was blow for blow, but on the one hand Maxi was physically superior and attacked with his dominant arm, while Pyrion could only throw jabs with his left arm and grit his teeth.
But after just 30 seconds, he was puking his guts out from taking blows to the stomach.
This drained him of energy, but allowed him to regain his distance from Maxi, who had quickly stepped aside.
"Shit, what kind of rcenary potential you got? It must be a 3-star to be so monstrous at such a young age, right? Even 4 stars..." Pyrion said in frustration.
Maxi didn't answer and instead asked:
"You have gold don't you?"
"If you don't want to go out worse off than you are now, pay 100 gold."
Pyrion frowned and said:
"Don't screw up too much, Maxi, my bloody bears have been rather reasonable, otherwise your n would already be all down in a miserable state."
Maxi didn't show anything on his face, but he knew Pyrion was telling the truth. Otherwise it would have been enough for two bloody bears to block the arms of one of his comrades, and then a third could have just beaten him up.
But in actual fact, they did play fair, although they did take advantage of their numbers, except in their duel court.
"But I won, and it was your rcenary who provoked us," announced Maxi.
"50 gold coins," Pyrion replied after so thought.
"100 gold coins." continued Maxi in a firm tone.
"Don't overdo it, saber-toothed tiger chief, 100 gold coins already represents our gross inco for a month's mission."
"After subtracting logistics, salaries, maintenance of various collective equipnt, a few bonuses, curative dicines and compensation for mbers killed in action, there's not much left."
But Maxi remained stoic.
Waiting a few seconds, Pyrion sighed, then declared firmly:
"Brother draw your swords, today blood will flow freely."
The sounds of drawing were heard one after the other, as countless swords were pointed at Maxi and his comrades in various parts of the bar.
This ti, Maxi could no longer maintain his composure.
"Indeed, rcenaries are no fools and are extrely greedy for money. Taking money from people who have earned it by putting their lives on the line is an extrely dangerous gesture," Maxi thought with slight disappointnt.
"That's 50 gold coins and you pay for the repairs to the bar," announced Maxi.
"It's a deal." replied Pyrion with a smile, tossing a bag of gold coins to Maxi, who caught it in flight with one hand.
After all, even he would risk death given his current state.
"Let's go, guys," said Maxi, leaving without a glance behind him.
All the rcenaries followed him, although most of them were in a sorry state.
However, their backs were straight and they exuded a certain nacing aura, impressing the various onlookers.
On the way, Maxi glanced at Romuald, then nodded in approval.
Ding!
[Detected that Romuald has joined the host's rcenary group].
[Innate potential of a star with a minor talent in physics detected].
[Host's talent activated.]
[The rcenary Romuald's potential is increased to two stars].
Simultaneously, Romuald notices sothing change from deep within his being.
"How is it possible...I no longer feel this barrier that used to hold back so strongly from progress..." murmured Romuald with enormous shock.
Then he looked at Maxi's back as he calmly walked away, and his eyes widened.
"What kind of heaven-defying magical talent is that?"
