Anos stood tall, facing the top ten of the Interdiate Class. The air crackled with tension.
Just as the battle was about to begin, a soft voice interrupted the silence.
"Mind if I join in?" Alia asked, her gentle voice a stark contrast to the impending fight.
Everyone turned to see her standing at the edge of the arena, her elegant figure belied by a fierce determination.
Anos's grin faltered for a mont before he regained his composure. "No need to trouble yourself, Alia. Fists and feet have no eyes; I couldn't bear to fight you."
Alia's cheeks flushed, but her eyes sparkled with resolve. "I'm not looking for sympathy. Fighting strong opponents will help improve significantly."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, unleashing her aura. The air seed to vibrate with her Qi Building Realm Eight Stars energy.
The crowd gasped. This quiet, gentle-looking woman was a hidden expert.
Anos's eyes widened in surprise, followed by a deep nod. "Respect. If you're willing, join us."
With a nonchalant smile, Anos accepted the new challenge: one against eleven.
"Ding... Successfully teased Alia. Scumbag Points 10,000. Mission Progress: 30%."
...
"Now, let the battle begin!" Sofia's voice echoed through the arena.
Instantly, the eleven opponents sprang into action, forming a circular periter around Anos. This tactical formation would restrict his movent and expose him to attacks from all sides.
Anos smiled nonchalantly, his lips curling upward. "Do you know why I'm not panicking?"
He paused, savoring the mont.
"That's because fighting one is the sa as fighting ten. It's just that you need to use a few more moves."
With a sudden burst of speed, Anos darted forward.
His Spiritual Energy Value, significantly higher than his opponents', granted him access to an arsenal of martial arts techniques. Small-scale maneuvers, in particular, were child's play for him.
Whoosh! Anos vanished and reappeared, his movents a blur as he initiated his counterattack.
...
Boom! Anos charged forward, his first target being Robert, the ninth-ranked opponent who had previously provoked him.
Robert had thought that joining the fray would give him a chance to redeem himself and regain so lost face. Instead, he found himself stunned, wondering, "Why the hell is this guy singling out for the first hit?"
"Earth Wall!" Robert shouted, summoning a sturdy barrier to protect himself.
Whoosh! The earth wall materialized in front of him, but Anos didn't hesitate.
Boom! With a straightforward, powerful strike, Anos shattered the earth wall and followed up with a swift punch.
Robert flew off the stage for the second ti, his attempt at redemption ending in humiliating defeat.
"Fuck! That's insane!" The crowd's jaws dropped in unison.
Robert's Earth Attribute Mud Wall, a formidable defensive martial skill, had been shattered with a single punch. The sheer force was staggering, and the remaining strength that sent Robert flying left everyone awestruck.
"It's like they're fighting a boss!" soone whispered.
Anos's display of power was daunting. His opponents seed tiny in comparison, as if a single touch from him would seal their fate.
"This guy is a monster!" another spectator exclaid.
The eleven opponents exchanged nervous glances, their confidence shaken. They had underestimated Anos's abilities.
"Vine Forest!"
Whoosh! The stage was instantly engulfed by a sea of vines, ensnaring Anos in a tangled web.
"This is our chance! Everyone, attack!"
The eleven opponents, emboldened by Anos's temporary restraint, mobilized their strength and charged forward with reckless abandon.
Rip!
In the blink of an eye, Anos shattered the vines with unyielding force.
"This won't cut it..." Anos thought to himself. "Exchange attribute, agility!"
He realized that relying solely on brute strength wasn't enough; agility was crucial. Anos sought balance, concealing his true power and realm.
Revealing his full strength would annihilate his opponents instantly, and that wasn't his intention.
Whoosh!
Anos's speed suddenly surged, doubling his previous velocity. The crowd struggled to keep up.
"Hello!" Anos materialized behind his opponent.
He swiftly turned, throwing a punch, but Anos was already ahead. With a swift kick, the opponent flew off the stage.
"How is he so fast? Does he have a wind attribute?" The onlookers were stunned.
"No, he hasn't revealed his attribute yet!" soone countered.
"I heard rumors Anos had no attributes during assessnt. Is that true?" another spectator wondered.
Anos's extraordinary speed defied expectations, fueling speculation..
Alia unleashed her bind technique, "Run again! Bind!"
An extrely thick vine ensnared Anos, montarily restraining him.
In the next instant, a barrage of flas, water balls, vines, and powerful attacks converged on Anos.
This was truly like fighting a boss!
"Fuck!" Anos struggled, acknowledging the vines' exceptional toughness.
"Then I won't play with you anymore! Ha!" Anos roared, his aura exploding once more.
Qi Building Realm, ten stars!
The crowd sensed Anos's aura, astonished by his realm.
Beating three Qi Building Realm nine-star practitioners seed implausible, even for a ten-star expert.
The one-star difference shouldn't be this drastic!
Though shocked, they weren't intimidated.
....
Sofia sensed Anos's realm, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
She knew Anos was holding back, concealing his true strength. The Qi Building Realm ten stars seed rely a facade, not his genuine ace.
A nagging thought crossed her mind: Had Anos already reached the Spirit Condensation Realm?
The idea seed absurd, yet tantalizing. Anos's feats bordered on fantasy – a Qi Building Realm ten-star expert taking on eleven interdiate-class opponents.
But if he had indeed attained the Spirit Condensation Realm, everything made sense. The gap between realms was staggering.
Anos's Qi Building Realm ten-star speed and strength left everyone dumbfounded.
"This defies logic!" soone exclaid. "Is this really the speed of a Qi Building Realm ten stars?"
Even a Spirit Condensation Realm three-star expert shouldn't possess such velocity.
"What martial skill is he using to accelerate his growth at this rate?" another spectator wondered.
And his strength... It was simply unfathomable.
Boom!
Ethan, the top expert and tal-type martial artist, unleashed his augnted attack power. But when his fist collided with Anos', he was sent flying.
Next, Hitachi soared through the air.
Then, Jax t the sa fate.
…
A mont ago, Anos seed like a formidable BOSS. Now, fueled by his Qi Building Realm ten-star strength, he had beco an unstoppable force, rampaging beyond control.
The ten interdiate-class experts were reduced to re rookies before Anos's unbridled power.
"Ding... Successfully pinched Little Big Sister's butt, classified as a scumbag. Scumbag Points 300,000, Mission Progress: 70%."
As Anos blurred past, his extre speed allowing him to evade attacks with ease, he seized the perfect opportunity to stealthily pinch Alia's perky buttocks. The brief, sly gesture went unnoticed by the others, engrossed in the battle.
The unexpected reward stunned Anos – 300,000 Scumbag Points and a 40% surge in mission progress. His eyes sparkled with mischief, thrilled by the daring feat.
Alia's face flushed a deep crimson as she stood frozen, biting her lips in indignation. Her eyes flashed with anger, but she couldn't help the hint of surprise and curiosity.
Bastard! How did he...?
With only one minute of berserk ti remaining, Anos refused to squander another 100,000 points for a fleeting advantage. He resolved to conclude the battle within the allotted ti.
His Qi Building Realm ten-star strength, amplified by the doubling of his agility and power, rendered him nearly invincible. The opposition crumbled before him, utterly outmatched.
When Anos ceased his onslaught, the stage lay empty except for two figures: Alia and himself.
