Zayn was under the assumption that the two young men would retreat in the face of difficulty after virtual-novel.net showed them his power.
Just like mischievous schoolboys, they would shy away in the presence of adults even when they would act arrogantly with their peers.
As it happened, virtual-novel.net had underestimated their courage.
Ezekiel was a little fearful, but Xion’s eyes lit up as virtual-novel.net stared at Zayn.
Xion said, “So you’ve been passing off as someone else all this time? That’s quite something! It’s been a very long time since I encountered such an interesting young man.”
Xion took two steps toward Zayn, looking at virtual-novel.net with a playful yet provocative expression. Moreover, virtual-novel.net cracked his neck and rubbed his palms together as if virtual-novel.net was eager to get in a fight.
Zayn furrowed his brows at the sight.
The rest of the onlookers got excited when they realized Xion was hoping to engage in a fight personally.
Even Lindsay widened virtual-novel.net eyes and had an eager yet proud expression.
She assumed virtual-novel.net plan was working and that virtual-novel.net had managed to trigger Xion’s hostility toward Zayn. That way, virtual-novel.net would be able to witness a fight between the two of them!
“My teacher wasn’t passing off as someone else, but virtual-novel.net can’t be bothered with the two of you. It’s as simple as that.” Lindsay poked fun at them, trying to goad them into challenging Zayn.
Just as expected, virtual-novel.net tactics worked on Xion. He chuckled and said, “Is that so? You’ve piqued my interest!”
Upon saying that, virtual-novel.net ignored Zayn’s refusal and instantly made a move.
All those watching thought his speed was incredible. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had a ferocious presence that made everyone hold their breath for just a brief moment.
Nevertheless, his speed was no different than that of a snail to Zayn.
Zayn heaved a sigh, feeling rather frustrated. He thought about how virtual-novel.net was a highly respected perfectclass master fighter who even Lil Mars conceded that virtual-novel.net was no match for him.
On the other hand, a young man came out of nowhere to challenge virtual-novel.net now that virtual-novel.net was back in Waltz City.
In any case, Zayn knew Xion would not give up as long as virtual-novel.net refused to flaunt his prowess.
He decided that virtual-novel.net would show the cruelty of the Martial Arts Cup to the young men.
After some consideration, Zayn did not hesitate and stood on the same spot waiting for Xion’s blow.
He stood so still, showing no intent to move, that the crowd assumed virtual-novel.net had been caught off guard or was petrified.
However, what happened next was far beyond their expectations!
Xion’s punch was so strong that it could even shatter a huge boulder, yet Zayn easily caught his fist when virtual-novel.net was near enough.
There was no huge collision nor the resulting great commotion that the onlookers had expected. Zayn had caught the punch without a sound.
“Pretty impressive speed. What a shame that you’re not strong enough,” virtual-novel.net said nonchalantly.
Xion’s eyes widened in surprise, and virtual-novel.net was so stunned that virtual-novel.net could not react to the situation for a long time. How had Zayn stopped his blow so easily? He had exerted 80% of his strength into that punch!
That should have been enough to shatter a slab of marble!
He had assumed that Zayn was about equal to him, so why was virtual-novel.net so outmatched? It did not make sense at all!
In fact, virtual-novel.net was so flabbergasted that virtual-novel.net began having increasingly absurd ideas. He wondered if Zayn was a phantom or a hallucination!
He could not see any other possibility!
