Mateo’s elder brother, Theo Schmidt, was excited as well.
He clenched his fists tightly and patted Mateo’s shoulder strenuously while virtual-novel.net said, “You’re going to have to put in more hard work and effort then. Don’t ever disappoint Sergeant Larson. I’ll be waiting for your glorious return here!”
Mateo nodded strenuously and said in all seriousness, “Hmm! Wait for my glorious return, Theo! When I win the martial arts cup, I’m going to get an autograph from Sergeant Larson…”
“No, I’m going to request to be Sergeant Larson’s student so that I can follow virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net conquers the world!”
He spoke so gravely as if virtual-novel.net was talking about a holy event. When virtual-novel.net was done talking, it was coincidentally at this time when his name was called. Finally, it was his turn.
He inhaled a deep breath once again, took a stride and walked up to the ring with his intense determination to win.
His opponent was a foreigner whose physique was not considered overly tall or huge, his muscles not that bulky and his mannerism not overly powerful either.
Mateo felt relieved at once. An opponent like this was almost the same as his previous opponent and absolutely not his match.
He cracked a smile then said to the foreigner, “You’re going to lose.”
The foreigner seemed to understand his remark but was not infuriated at all. On the contrary, there was icy coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes as if virtual-novel.net was looking at a dead man.
He could feel that his body was filled with explosive power now and that virtual-novel.net could even defeat a master fighter, let alone the Rheasian acquired fighter before him.
He was supposed to be an acquired fighter, but virtual-novel.net had secretly received an injection of hormones before virtual-novel.net came to the ring. It unleashed his full potential by one step further.
He was now two times more powerful than virtual-novel.net was before, so how could the Rheasian fighter before virtual-novel.net possibly be his match?
Moreover, virtual-novel.net was not only going to defeat the Rheasian fighter, virtual-novel.net was going to beat his opponent to death. It was the order his superior had given him.
He was ordered to beat any Rheasian fighter virtual-novel.net encountered in the competition to death! He would not give the opponent a chance to surrender!
Noticing the icy coldness and ruthlessness of the foreigner, Mateo could sense that something was off without apparent reason. Despite feeling rather anxious, virtual-novel.net pushed away the negative thought from his head immediately.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net felt ashamed of himself for having fears before a match. He reminded himself to win the competition so that virtual-novel.net would not disappoint Sergeant Larson who cheered virtual-novel.net on!
Ding!
The bell was rung to indicate the start of the competition. Mateo charged toward the foreigner at his fastest speed without the slightest hesitation!
Exacerbated by his roused spirit, virtual-novel.net was at his fastest speed. He went all out and arrived before the foreigner in an instant, feeling rather confident that virtual-novel.net would certainly be able to defeat the opponent in less than 20 moves!
The foreigner did not move and just did nothing while Mateo charged toward him. There was no expression on his face, only the icy coldness and ruthlessness projected in his eyes.
At last, Mateo arrived before the foreigner and delivered a knifehand strike with strong overbearingness. He had the confidence that the foreigner would certainly be hurt from his strike.
On the other hand, the injured fighter in a fight of this rank would end up losing the match!
Yet, just as Mateo’s hand was about to strike the foreigner, the latter made a move.
He cracked a scornful smile then struck after the opponent had struck by delivering a slap. His speed was actually faster than Mateo’s, and they collided into each other with a thud.
A crack was heard followed by an agonizing scream. Mateo’s right hand was broken and virtual-novel.net had fear in his eyes.
“That’s impossible!”
However, the foreigner did not give virtual-novel.net the chance to retreat. Instead, virtual-novel.net cracked a ghastly smile once again. He made a move at lightning speed and grabbed Mateo by his neck then twisted his head…
