nNabil saw Vincent’s expression changed and walked up to him. He patted Vincent’s shoulder with envy.

n“Vincent, you should be happy. If you miss one round, you’ll be in a better state the next round.”

nNabil tried to comfort Vincent. However, Vincent just smiled at him bitterly.

n

n

nOnly Chris knew why Vincent reacted that way.

nHe was a battle maniac!

nHow could he be happy without fighting?

nWhen Chris passed Vincent, he gave Vincent a cheeky bump on the shoulder.

n

n

nVincent rolled his eyes at him.

nTeacher Chris who was watching from afar covered her mouth and let out a soft chuckle as she looked at Vincent.

nThis was the first time she had seen Vincent reacted that way. She felt like he was much cuter than usual.

nAlthough there were fewer people in the second round of the individual battle, the battle duration was much longer than the first round. This was because the quality of the participants was higher in comparison.

n

n

nThe sky was already dark by the time they finished battling.

n“After a day of competing, I think every one must be very tired. Let’s call it a day, we’ll meet again tomorrow!”

nThe next day, it was bright. Vincent and the others entered the Falcon Arena once again.

n“Contestants, audience, we meet again! After a day of intense competition yesterday, there are only 228 participants left in the one-on-one battle. Today, we will finish off the individual battles!”

nThe host stood on a frisbee-liked platform.

n“Let’s not waste any more time. Let us begin the drawing of lots for the third one-on-one battle!”

n

n

nAfter drawing lots, Vincent found out that his opponent was Blue Tyrant School’s Jonathan.

nJohnson’s superpower was A-Class Poison Quicksand. Although it was also an elemental-type, it was able to restrain most elemental-type superpowers. This included Vincent’s Hellfire superpower.

nDue to their difference in level, the restraint was not much. Plus, Vincent had evolved Hellfire. Johnson’s superpower should not be much of a problem.

nHowever, he was still rather superior to Vincent.

nVincent and Johnson looked at each other on stage. When the referee gave the signal to start, the two of them almost released their superpowers at the same time.

nHalf of the ring was filled with black Hellfire, and the other half was filled with jade-green quicksand. One was able to tell the difference between the two of them easily.

n“I know that you are a powerhouse in Quinn. I also know that you have the title, ‘Monsters’ Nemesis’. However, your opponent right now is me, and I will not be easily defeated by you!” said Johnson.

nJohnson’s face was solemn. He felt a lot of pressure fighting Vincent, but he did not allow himself to retreat.

n

n

nThis was the heart of a powerhouse!

nVincent knew that he was facing an opponent that was worthy of respect. He respected him.

nHe nodded solemnly and launched the first attack.

n“Flash!”

nHe started with the elusive Flash. It was clear that Vincent was serious.

nAlthough he had more powerful attacks, Flash was definitely one of the top three in Vincent’s attack list.

nBang!

nVincent’s Flash hit Johnson’s back and started to burn. He left a hole in Johnson’s back. Inside the hole, one could see Johnson’s healthy wheat-colored skin. It then slowly healed, and the hole disappeared.

nAt the same time, the flames were slowly being extinguished.

nThis was due to the quicksand’s restraint on fire.

nAlthough Flash did not deal much damage to Johnson, he was still frightened.

nHe looked at Vincent and frowned.

n“If I didn’t have the quicksand coat to protect me, I would have really fallen into your trap. Since you took the initiative to attack, here’s my attack!”

n

n

n“Quicksand Missile!”

nSmall balls of jade-green quicksand flew up from under Jonathan’s feet. As he waved his hand at Vincent, the jade-green quicksand balls flew towards Vincent instantly.

nVincent raised his hand and used the Fire Net to block them. The small balls were immediately destroyed by Hellfire.

n“Hellfire is indeed powerful. I want to see how long you can defend!”

nJohnson raised his hands above his head. The quicksand beneath his feet flew upwards. The quicksand then morphed into a huge blade. Johnson struck down the blade fiercely at Vincent.

n“Quicksand Slash!”

nWhoosh!

nThe huge jade-green quicksand blade against Vincent’s Fire Net. The two were in a stalemate.

nVincent did not realize that there was thin, invisible quicksand moving through Hellfire. Johnson was targeting his feet.

n“It’s over!”

nJohnson suddenly opened his hands, and the blade shattered, causing a loud bang. Sand fell everywhere.

n“Quicksand to the Grave!”

nJohnson clenched his right fist at Vincent.

nVincent’s heart tightened. As he had sharp senses, he could tell that there was a problem. He quickly attached the flames of Hellfire to his body.

nAt the same time, a sand pillar suddenly shot up from the ground and trapped Vincent in the middle. Countless sharp spikes shot out and began to hurt Vincent.

n“So strong!” Vincent thought to himself.

nHe still could not understand how Johnson managed to slip quicksand over to his side.

nVincent took out his Purgatory Blade and attached Hellfire to it.

n“Collapsing Mountain Strike!”

nBang!

nA huge black flaming blade suddenly emerged from the sand pillar and gave Johnson a fright.

nIf he had not dodged quickly, the blade would have struck his body.

nVincent’s blade split the fighting ring into two. The scene caught the attention of the spectators and the experts of Falcon Country.

n“God! What’s going on?”

n“Is this the combat strength that a student should have?”

n“As expected of the Monsters’ Nemesis, so strong!”

nVincent spread his Flaming Wings and rushed out from the sand pillar.

nHe looked like a Burning Man.

nVincent did not hold back. He put away his Purgatory Blade and flew into the air. He grabbed two fire vines and swung them at Jonathan.

nJonathan was terrified by Vincent’s attacks. If he reacted any slower, he might have been split into two.

nWhen he saw Vincent’s attack again, he quickly defended himself.

nHe knelt on one knee with his arms crossed in front of him. He used a quicksand shield to protect his back.

nBang!

nWith just one strike, his defense had been shattered by the Fire Vines.

nBefore Johnson could even react, the second Fire Vine was nearby.

nHe closed his eyes in despair. Vincent had endless tricks up his sleeve.

nJohnson had used all his strength, but there was still no way for him to win.

nHowever, after waiting for a long time, he did not feel any pain. When he looked up, he saw Vincent standing in front of him. Vincent extended his arm to him.

n“What are you doing?”

nJohnson was puzzled.

n“You are very strong. You are a strong person. I am very happy to be able to fight with you,” said Vincent.

nVincent smiled.

nJohnson looked at Vincent. Vincent looked very sincere.

nIn an instant, Johnson’s disappointment was gone. To be able to fight with a strong person like Vincent was rewarding enough. What was there to be disappointed about?

nHe reached out to grab Vincent’s hand and stood up.

n“Thank you for showing me mercy in the end.”

n“This is a competition, not a life and death battle.”

nThe referee looked at the two of them and announced loudly, “Round Three, No. 87, Vincent wins!”

n
