"Okay, let's start the sparring." Hyung Jae said loud and the crowd getting frenzy. "Remember, this is only a friendly fight, don't overdo yourself. The one who gives up first or stepping outside the arena will be lost. And don't aim to kill or to permanently injured your opponent. Do you understand?" This time Hyung Jae said to both competitors about the rules.
Both Andara and Jin nod their heads as an understanding of the rules. They are now standing on different sides while facing each other. They still prepare themselves and doing some warm-up moves.
"No weapon allowed this time. Fight only using your bare hands." Hyung Jae added from outside of the arena.
Jin never intends to use weapons and his teacher didn't inherit him any weapons either, while Andara feels he can win with ease because his opponent is still younger and unknown. Andara thinks if Jin is one of the 3 strongest young martial artists that shocked today's martial art world and being nicknamed as the descendants of the phoenix, everyone must know about him, and his appearance will not be dirty and shabby like that. No one knows Jin, which means he is just nobody.
"End it fast, don't waste our time." Mu Yong said to Andara from outside of the arena. He is very sure about his ability of Andara.
Andara doesn't answer, in his mind, he wants to play and make fool his opponent to show that he is worthy to become the direct disciple of Hyung Jae, the headmaster. His future will be bright if that happened.
"Enough for the warm-up, start the fight." Hyung Jae giving the initial code.
Jin and Andara step forward, both of them ready to attack. "As I thought, he is a newbie. His stance having too many openings. This going to be fun." Andara said to himself while smiling.
Not only Andara who have that thought, everyone who saw the fight is thinking the same except Hyung Jae and Airi. Hyung Jae smiles wide, he knows if Jin is baiting Andara by showing too many openings. Jin wants to give a lesson to Andara who cockily interferes with his fight.
"You will lose in two attacks." Andara said cockily.
"Maybe, let's see." Jin replied calmly.
Andara dashes forward and jumps with magnificent speed, in one leap with he manages to arrive above Jin, everyone is amazed by him. Even Hyung Jae has to admit if Andara was not only big-mouthing, but he knows that is not enough to defeat Jin.
Andara launches a powerful kicking attack from above aiming at Jin's left shoulder and Jin evades to the right.
"Brakkkk!" Andara's foot hit the floor and make it cracked. Everyone is amazed again by Andara's powerful attack that was able to shatter the hard floor.
Andara doesn't stop there, he immediately moves again to attack Jin with a powerful technique. He doesn't want to give Jin time to breathe and also to show off his ability in front of everyone. For Andara, this is a very rare chance to be able to get the Blue Wind high-ranked people's attention.
"Nine Heavenly Step!" Andara uses high-level techniques that he mastered. This technique makes every step of his feet will have a very strong force that can shatter hard rock.
"Brakkk!" Jin manages to avoid Andara's first step that destroyed the tile to pieces. Andara continues to attack and Jin continues to evade. Jin has to be careful of Andara's hand and also powerful footsteps at the same time.
"Brakkk!" Again, Andara tries to stomp Jin with his powerful steps, this time he little bit angry because none of his attacks can land on Jin's body although he precisely attacks Jin's opening. "Brakkk! Brakkk! Brakkk!" Andara consecutively tries to stomps Jin using the powerful 'Nine Heavenly Steps' technique but Jin manages to evade all of it.
In most of the spectators' eyes, this was a one-sided battle as Andara continue to cornering Jin who was only able to evade. Only a few of them start to suspect that Jin is hiding his true ability and is not serious to fight with Andara.
Andara who used too much inner energy on each of his attacks starts to feel exhausted. But not with Jin, he even still thinks of this as a warm-up and continues to evade without trying to launch a counter-attack although he can see a fatal opening in Andara's body.
Andara is angry because Jin is only moving around without trying to fight. "Damn you! Don't run here and there like a rat! Fight me like a man." He said while continuing to attack Jin.
"Okay if you say so." Jin is accepting Andara's challenge. He feels his warm-up has enough either.
Jin moving fast to get away from Andara and this makes Andara shocked. Jin is now standing dozens of steps from Andara, ready for the second round.
"Okay, let's start seriously." Jin said.
"Haha... Don't bluff. You were only able to evade all the time, how you will attack me? I am waiting." Again, Andara said cockily.
Jin runs forward and Andara prepares a stance to receive the attack. But before reaching Andara, Jin suddenly disappeared. Everyone is shocked include Andara and looking around but Jin is still not visible. Around the battle arena, only a few people that able to see Jin's movement, and they are also shocked because they never thought an unknown young man was able to move as fast as that.
Amidst Andara's confusion, Jin has appeared behind him. "Are you looking for me?" Jin said.
Andara is surprised by Jin's presence behind him, he couldn't feel his presence at all. When Andara turns his body and aims to attack, Jin has disappeared again and reappears behind Andara's back. Those kinds of situations happened a few times until Andara feels hopeless.
Without being predicted by everyone, all of sudden, Mu Yong entered the battle arena and he aims to attack Jin. Jin is surprised and immediately moves away from Andara and Mu Yong that are now standing side by side.
"Why are you trying to embarrass my disciple? If you don't want to fight him, say it from the beginning." Mu Yong was angry with Jin's actions.
"That's the way I fight. As far as I remember, It's not against the rules, Master Mu Yong. He is the one who wants to fight me, not the other way around." Jin replied to that accusation.
Everyone who sees the fight knows that Jin is doing right, he didn't break any rules. Before the fight started, no rule that forbid the participants to evade the attacks.
Mu Yong can not refute Jin's reasons, deep inside his heart he knows if Jin was correct. But, his pride and emotion are forcing him to continue his rage. "Stops talking nonsense, I will replace my disciple to fight you. I want to know you still be able to be cocky like that or not." My Yong Challenging Jin.
Everyone is shocked by Mu Yong's decision.
