Chapter 9 - Martial Arts

The two of them faced off for a couple of seconds before Veangeance approached the monk ,He performed a kick to the opponent's calf,but the monk brought his foot backwards before front kicking in direction of Veangeance's knee, Veangeance moved his right leg to the left barely avoiding the kick and then brought his rear foot forwards,he then shifted his weight by leaning forward further than normal to increase his power and punched straight in direction of the Monk's jaw,the monk brought his elbow to meet The attack and Veangeance pulled back his punch before moving a bit forward and performing a hook punch towards his opponent's jaw which the monk avoided by moving his head backwards,the monk then countered by grabbing Veangeance hand and then performing a cross punch with his right hand, Veangeance barely managed to grab the Monk's wrists and then kneed him in the liver,the monk stumbled a bit and then grabbed Veangeance Left leg before performing a single leg take down,the monk was now above Veangeance, before the monk could get into an advantageous position Veangeance immediately used his knowledge of Grappling to get back to his feet.

As the two of them got back to their feet, Veangeance went near the Monk and ducked to avoid a punch,he then pressed his shoulder to his opponent's shoulder,this was done to cut off space for the opponent's attack from that same side, resulting in the Monk's offense being limited.

Veangeance then performed a mixture of a hook and a uppercut and hit the Monk straight in the head,the monk stumbled backwards a little and Veangeance took the chance to consecutively kick him in his right knee,he then moved laterally to the point that he shifted both his stance and the opponent's stance, Veangeance was ambidextrous so he could fight perfectly both in Southpaw and Orthodox.

The monk however, didn't seem to have that same ability, taking advantage of this, Veangeance pressed on and managed to overwhelm the opponent for a couple of seconds before the monk performed an elbow strike that he had to dodge by falling back, however he still kept a foot forward and therefore was able to quickly close the distance back and placed his hand on the Monk's forearms and moved forwards before landing a punch to his opponent's jaw,this punch seemed to finally take down the monk who fell down.

However as he wasn't "dead" yet,his soul still remained in the separate dimension, Veangeance was about to finish off the monk when suddenly,his body turned into blue sparks...

'He willingly left the separate dimension?'

It seemed like the monk had a sense of Honor and decided to leave after losing...

...

in the stands,a youth with short brown hair had a flabbergasted expression,

'Senior brother lost that quickly?'

The youth had a hard time believing what he just witnessed,He would not have been that surprised if the opponent defeated Bhodi after a arduous battle,he was the

Disciple of the Nameless Slave after all,but the speed of which he managed to perform such a feat was truly hard to believe...

The Samsara clan was one that specialized quite a lot in unarmed combat,and Bhodi was one of the most capable prodigents of their clan...

The youth wasn't the only one surprised by the outcome of the battle,Most people were familiar with Bhodi and the Samsara clan,they also knew how impressive the feat Veangeance had managed to pull off was.

Vyncent who was seating at the front squinted his eyes a little and remained focused on Veangeance for a little,next to him, Akane had a somewhat confused yet slightly elated expression, Seyrryu and Anneliese both seemed to be in deep tought,and Love who was next to a girl with shoulder length blonde hair and red eyes had a strangely somber expression,The blonde haired girl, Anastasya, Had noticed this fact which is why a confused expression found itself on her face, speaking in a sweet and playful voice,she asked,

"Hey,why are you so grumpy when your brother has just won in such a decisive manner?,you know this indicates that his chances of Surviving the trial are considerably higher than most right?"

"...,It doesn't matter,if that was all that it took to become an Asura,there wouldn't be only five throughout all of history..."

"Huh...,Did something happen between you two,I know that he has been distant as of late,but I still imagined you would show more of a reaction..."

"Yes, something did happen,my brother has gone completely crazy."

"Huh?, how so?..."

"None of your business."

"Heh!,that's how you treat your best friend?,hump!!! meanie..."

"For fuck sake,can you stop acting like a damn brat, you're 19 years old already."

"Yea yea..."

...

Back at the hall in which the 4 leaders had been previously discussing ,The 4 of them all had varied levels of interest showing on their faces,the most interested was the leader of the Kokuryu Clan, however he barely showed any interest due to his personality,the second most interested was the leader of the Freiherr Clan,she had quite the amused expression on her face,

"Huh... That was quite the impressive performance,If I'm not wrong,he is the one who chose the Asura Succession,The peerless genius who Lost his talent, Dragon of Vengeance..."

"Indeed,It seems like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree,his Martial prowess is just as impressive as that of his father when he was in his late teens,or even more...sigh, it's a shame that he lost his talent..."

"Huh,you lying bastard, we both know you couldn't be any happier that he lost his talent,if he hadn't,that would mean more competition for the Golden Inheritance for your son when he ascends to the Ancient Rank,yet you pretend to be sorrowful,what a shameless cunt!"

The Matriarch of the Freiherr Clan went on a rant about the shameless lying of the Legenda clan's Patriarch,The man himself showed a somewhat childish expression,like a little kid that had been caught red handed...

...

Veangeance who was now at the stands,was unsatisfied with his performance,in fact,with his current personality,he was never truly satisfied with anything...

...

Veangeance found himself standing in front of a youth with fairly sharp blue eyes,dirty blonde hair, tanned skin,tall stature and a muscular physique, this was his 3rd battle,he had previously faced a girl with short green hair and won,now,he was about to face one of the most promising Prodigents of the Legenda clan, Vyncent.
