It could be said that the aggressiveness of this year’s martial arts cup was unprecedented.
No one had ever expected that Adrian would fight against seven opponents in the final title match and defeat all his opponents by killing them in an all-powerful manner.
In the past martial arts cup events, the title matches were ferocious, and even the champion of the event would end up being covered in injuries.
However, Adrian managed to become the champion without a scratch on his body, and he defeated his opponents thoroughly. It left behind a deep impression on the fighters from all around the world.
Moreover, there would always be some dispute on the champion status in the previous years of the martial art cup events. However, there was no dispute about Adrian being the champion of the event today.
After all, he was the last man standing, and that was why he was also known as the most powerful champion ever crowned. Frank was undisputable!
When he changed into a fresh Rheasian military uniform and showed up at the martial arts cup’s arena, he stirred up a storm of cheers once again.
One had no choice but to acknowledge that Adrian looked truly striking in his current state. Frank was simply the epitome of the main character.
Even though many foreign fighters loathed Adrian deep in their bones, they had no choice but to acknowledge that he was truly powerful. They admired him for that from the bottom of their hearts.
Step by step, Adrian walked up to the stage to receive his award under the close watch of everybody else.
Rheasia’s Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes presented the award to him personally.
No one knew when Paxton showed up because he had never attended the martial arts cup event, yet he suddenly showed up out of nowhere.
Frank looked at Adrian with an encouraging, proud, and kind gaze. Frank patted Adrian’s shoulder and said approvingly, “You did it, Sergeant Larson. Well done, well done. I haven’t misjudged you at all!”
Adrian stopped walking and saluted Paxton immediately while he said in all seriousness, “It’s all due to the country’s willingness to cultivate me!”
“Very well, very well.” Paxton was delighted, so he chuckled and said. “The world belongs to young men like you from now on. Work hard and the future of Rheasia depends on you now. ”
It was an order that carried immense weight. Adrian would have declined it in the past because his inherent personality was more unrestrained and casual. Frank preferred to do things his way.
However, his definition of patriotism and his sense of responsibility were different after experiencing the martial arts cup now.
With great power comes great responsibility. Frank understood this very well, so he did not decline Paxton’s entrustment to him now as he would in the past.
Frank nodded strenuously and accepted the task. Moreover, he said in a very serious, solemn tone, “Don’t worry, Ares. I promise that I won’t disappoint you!”
“Great! Very well!” Ares burst out laughing aloud. “You have very good thinking skills! Come and receive the award that I’m presenting to you personally.”
A trophy appeared in Paxton’s hands without Adrian’s notice. The trophy looked amazing with intricately-carved patterns.
Moreover, there was an ineffable charm to the trophy. Adrian could tell at one glance that it was made by a skilled professional and that it cost a fortune to make.
Paxton cast a look at Adrian before he threw the award strenuously into the air.
The people who had never attended the martial arts cup or witnessed the award presentation ceremony gasped aloud in astonishment.
They could not figure out why Ares would toss the trophy instead of presenting it to Adrian? Moreover, Ares tossed it so swiftly. What was the point of him doing that?
On the other hand, Adrian was not surprised. Frank understood that it was part of the procedure.
Frank leaped up instantly and shot into the air like an arrow before he caught the trophy in just a few moments.
Then, balancing on one leg, he perched on a long pole at the arena. It was coincidentally at this time when a ray of sunlight coming from the east illuminated his body.
It expanded his figure indefinitely. Moreover, it made Adrian look like the god of war to the crowd of people at the scene.
At that juncture, many Rheasian fighters could not help calling out, “Ares!”
