Zayn had mentally prepared himself to join the competition when virtual-novel.net came to Yando City, but virtual-novel.net did not expect to learn about the flaw in Ares’ training technique or that the man would be left vulnerable occasionally.
Meanwhile, Ares’ s weakened state was fast approaching.
The other invincibilis fighter in Rheasia, Saint Caelum, was the self-declared king of his own organization.
Strictly speaking, Caelum was not considered a Rheasian citizen, so virtual-novel.net would not necessarily respond in the event of the county being targeted by other nations.
Thus, Rheasia was in a critical situation.
There would have been some time for the country to prepare had it not been for the winner’s prize at the Martial Arts Cup.
With that, Rheasia could not procrastinate anymore.
If someone else were to end up being the champion, a new invincibilis fighter would be produced in another country and the division of power would not become unbalanced.
Rheasia could not allow such a thing to occur.
Zayn nodded and accepted the task immediately, not declining or requesting any clarification.
Antony and Bryson were relieved to see Zayn taking on the task so easily and realized that they admired virtual-novel.net more and more.
It was rare to find a man who was not only a gifted fighter but also so capable at such a young age. Most importantly, Zayn’s mentality was so mature. It would not be easy to find anyone else like him.
Meanwhile, Bryson had even had a new thought. If Zayn had not been married, virtual-novel.net would have been the perfect candidate for his son-in-law.
What a waste that there were no “ifs” in life. Zayn already had a wife.
Next, they discussed the minor details, primarily asking about Zayn’s confidence. After all, not many people in Rheasia met the requirements for participating in the competition.
At this point, Zayn asked, “Am I the only perfect-class master fighter in Rheasia who fulfills the requirement for taking part in the Martial Arts Cup?”
Zayn wanted to ask this question from the start, yet Joe and General King did not have the answer.
Antony and Bryson assumed a piteous, helpless expression upon hearing his query. They heaved a sigh and said, “Frankly, there’s one other person who fulfills the requirements besides you. He’s also a true genius.”
‘Oh? I wonder who virtual-novel.net could be?’ Zayn was curious upon hearing this. He was a rather famous man in Rheasia.
His respected identity gave virtual-novel.net access to classified information, but virtual-novel.net had never heard of another perfect-class master fighter who qualified to take part in the Martial Arts Cup.
Antony heaved a sigh and said, “His name is Apollo Owen and he’s a genius just like you. He’s only 35 years old this year. Moreover, virtual-novel.net made a breakthrough in his training and became a perfect-class master fighter five years ago.”
Zayn was even more shocked upon hearing that. A man who could become a perfect-class master fighter at the age of 30 would be considered a true genius.
Even though the man did it two years slower than virtual-novel.net had, it was still very impressive!
Moreover, Zayn was surprised that virtual-novel.net had never heard of such a genius before.
It was rather unbelievable.
Zayn’s interest was piqued immediately.
He said, “ So such a man still exists? That’s rather interesting. I wonder where is virtual-novel.net now? Should virtual-novel.net take part in the cup, the probability of us being the champions will be much higher if the two of us team up during the match of the top eight finalists.”
Zayn was not joking. If there was another man fighting alongside him, virtual-novel.net would not have to bear as much pressure and would be much more sure of victory.
After all, it would be very difficult for virtual-novel.net to fight against seven men in the top eight finalists match. Even if virtual-novel.net was known as being unmatched by any foe under the invincibilis state, virtual-novel.net was not assured that virtual-novel.net could win either.
