Martial Arts System

Leppercon stood up with a shocked look. He saw Daniel's body lying on the spectator's stands, with no idea if he is alive or dead.

''Hmph.'' Arkenthym snorted, he hated Ichiro's guts, but he must admit that he is a reliable slave.

The spectators were quiet until they started shouting with enraged faces.

''WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BASTARD?!''

''YOU KILLED ONE OF US, YOU MURDERER!''

''HOW DARE YOU?! Lock and Emma, kill that bastard! Now!''

Emma and Lock heard their screams, but they had no idea how to kill the black-haired monster!

''Ugh...'' A groan of pain appeared from the spectator stands.

The spectators turned their heads towards the destroyed part of the stadium, where a dozen corpses of previous spectators were located.

From the debris of the stadium, a young man with red hair climbed with a bloodied face.

''Ah!'' Daniel shouted in agony, he tried to stand up, but his ribs were broken.

Everyone except Ichiro looked shocked to see him alive!

''GRRR!'' Daniel gritted his teeth and pushed himself up with his last remaining willpower. He started shakily walking towards the arena.

The spectators watched as Daniel climbed back to the arena.

''I-I am not done yet!'' Daniel screamed and took the sword from the ground. He dropped it after Ichiro's attack landed on him.

''Aren't you disqualified?'' Ichiro frowned.

''Hehehehe...'' Daniel eerily chuckled, ''No one gives a shit about rules here.''

''Hmph, fine, you will die faster then.'' Ichiro lunged towards Daniel and thrusted his sword forwards!

Lock and Emma went after Ichiro, but they will never make it in time.

''Hehehe...'' Daniel kept chuckling, even though death was approaching him, he didn't stop chuckling.

Ichiro raised an eyebrow but didn't stop his attack.

Then... Out of nowhere, Daniel's muscles bulged!

''GRAAAAAAAH!'' His scream caused a small wind pressure to appear, but Ichiro had to cancel his attack because of that.

Daniel's muscular body started growing and growing... His red hair became longer and soon reached all the way to his buttocks. His muscles looked like they were about to explode.

There was nothing except muscles on his body, and it looked highly uncomfortable, but Daniel had a vicious grin on his face like he had already won.

Ichiro frowned and retreated a dozen meters.

He needs to proceed with caution.

Arkenthym looked towards Leppercon and asked, ''What is this?''

Leppercon grinned, ''This is the reason Daniel became lunatic... His bloodline ability, Berserker!''

''I see...'' Arkenthym became thoughtful.

There are hundreds of bloodlines all around the World, and not even half of them know they have an extraordinary bloodline.

Bloodline, which can get them to the top.

Daniel took a step forwards, but that alone made the ground shake.

Lock grimaced. He isn't any more sure should he be helping Daniel.

Current Daniel is stronger than him!

Emma was still concentrated on killing Ichiro. After all, fishes are on the line.

Ichiro went into his fighting stance, but he had a hunch that it didn't help him.

Daniel's physical strength seems to be close to Martial General!

''DIE!'' Daniel screamed and swung his sword, but it was very slow.

Ichiro jumped to the left, easily dodging it, but then Daniel disappeared and appeared in front of him!

''Got you!'' Daniel shouted with a grin and pushed his sword forwards.

Ichiro widened his eyes, but he calmly put the swords on X formation in front of him.

[Steel Edge - Sword Universe Stop]

*Clank*

Daniel's sword contacted with Ichiro's, but this time... Ichiro's swords trembled under the powerful strike!

'His physical strength is ridiculous!' Ichiro screamed internally while trying to hold his swords in one position.

''HAHAHA!'' Daniel roared in laughter and pushed the sword with even more strength!

This time, Ichiro started sliding backward, he tried to stop his body from sliding with any means necessary, but it didn't work!

'This technique is way too new... It is far from Steel Edge Universe Stop.' Ichiro lamented. He was sure that he could stop the strike if his technique was honed more.

*SWOOSH*

Ichiro widened his eyes as he felt presence appearing behind him!

It was a cute-looking individual, it was Emma!

She pushed her dagger forwards, aiming at Ichiro's spinal cord.

[Assassin Style - Death Strike]

Ichiro widened his eyes, and he felt like time was slowing down.

He has two options.

Use one of his swords to block the dagger, but then Daniel's attack will hit him.

The second is to escape the current peril by using Iron Burst.

But... He can't escape because Daniel won't let him.

Ichiro went through hundreds of ideas in a millisecond and finally found a very risky option.

He tried to copy a move from Avery...

It doesn't bring him any satisfaction; instead, it made him hate himself for copying his rivals' techniques.

Avery found a perfect way to use his reflexes to make a move for dodging.

The dagger was only an inch away, and Daniel was ready to deal a finishing blow.

But then...

Ichiro started tiptoeing, it made many raise an eyebrow, but then the next thing shocked everyone!

Ichiro started spinning!

The spinning velocity deflected the dagger away, Ichiro did everything in his power to control it, and soon he spun with incredible speed and appeared a dozen meters away from Daniel.

[Iron Tornado!]

Ichiro soon stopped spinning, but he could barely stand straight. His eyes were spinning, and his legs looked shaky.

He rubbed his eyes, trying to get rid of the hazy vision.

After his vision became clear, he already saw Daniel chasing after him!

He survived another peril, just in time to end in another.

Lock looked conflicted, but he decided to help Daniel and Emma.

Hopefully, he can kill Daniel when he least expected.

But the biggest threat has to be removed first.

That threat is the black-haired young man, whose fame has already started spreading in Arya.

The young man who defeated one of the greatest geniuses and protected Arya's pride in the process.

They have to defeat that kind of monster!
