Chapter 3

After hearing the signal. No words were spilled as the 2 charged locked on to each other.

Z9 immediately gave Z107 some fast kicks and punches for appetizers, but even though they all hit. Everything seems to be ineffective due to his weak constitution.

It lacks the power to damage his opponent.

Still, Z107 didn't get any advantage, even though he is not taking damage from Z9's attacks.

His attacks never landed, not even a single hit which makes him to lose more energy!

Though he has a great advantage of his body constitution and speed. His attacks are too big, predictable and inexperienced.

Easy enough in Z9's eyes to do a counter attack. But unlike from the beginning, since his attacks are not doing any good!

Z9 changed his ways of attacking and from the normal hand to hand combat style of punches and kicks only that the Zhen Clan taught them. He added Muay Thai moves as well which he learned from one of his past lives in the modern world before he was framed and tortured to death.

Using every part of his body as a weapon, he attacked more viciously this time with his instincts!

Either fists, elbows, knees, shins and kicks, it sent Z107 offguard due to this unfamiliar and random movements. But surprisingly very effective as he received more damage and hits than before and thought.

I can't go on like this!

Z107 was forced to be on defense like a punching bag. The hits he took previously stacks up and are now exploding with pain. Even his vital organs are now acting up too thanks to the continued attacks with precised accuracy that Z9 made.

Z107 choose to back off not just because of the pain he is suffering right now but also to figure out something in his body that feels like wanting to come out while Z9 tries to close the distance.

After a short breath of time and distance! He felt power surging out from his body.

His ‘Spiritual Energy’ encircled him and compressed into his entire body. Then his face darkened, and his eyes stared daggers at him.

Z9 stopped for a second of hesitation and felt the threat that Z107 released.

Upon noticing, Z107 took the opportunity to be on attack and closes the distance between him and Z9.

It is very obvious to everyone that Z107 managed to control of his Innate Ability, an Enhancement type.

“Oooh!” Head Elder Go said surprisingly and laughed

Z107's body emits a sudden natural glow and his every attack follows with heavy gusts of air, more fierce and terrifying. His attack power, defence and speed rose up astronomically.

Z9 gritted his teeth and tried his best to dodge and counter in a fast pace manner but this time with an insanely, hellish difficulty knowing he was already at his limit.

As the 2 continued to fight, the children watching were in a complete awe! Amazed and surprised that they didn't expect to see them fight this well.

They are like hungry animals preying to one another.

‘Devour or be devoured!’. That's the animalistic instinct that is surging in their hearts right now!

Including the guards that are simply there to guard, are heavily caught in to what they are seeing and some of them are even placing bets to those 2 kids for entertainment.

Head Elder Go and Elder Huwa on the other hand showed satisfaction in their eyes for this unexpected turn of event.

From the normal assessment.

They found gems on the rough and now grinding to each other to shine before them.

Even the other Elders watching from the shadows feel thrilled.

“Who would have ever known that Z9, a kid who is weaker than a normal mortal can contend face to face with an Innate genius, I bet if I were to give those 2 a weapon, he would have won twice already by now” Head Elder Go said casually while watching the fight

“But, that Z107's talent isn't lacking either, managing to comprehend his Innate Ability during battle! They are brilliant!”. He added

Elder Huwa crossed his arms and smiled “Even I, who raised the two are dumbfounded, maybe it is because of the adrenaline or perhaps it is because of the thoughts you put in them” he laughed and added “By the way, are you planning to only keep one of them?”.

Head Elder Go laughs and replied “You know me Elder Huwa?! Haha! I never cut down a good seed, well, unless if it is necessary. In fact I'm feeling generous today! If there are still some remaining shits in this batch, I will let them fight to see what they are made off”. He looks at Elder Huwa and added

“Is there anymore like Z9 here in the batch that you have not yet mentioned about?”

“Hmmm…I don't know, we can only wait”. He replied

The 2 fought for more than 10 minutes now.

It seems short for others but in the eyes of Z9 and Z107 who have been fighting nonstop! It's already been a full day! And no one is backing, or willing to back out!

As Z107's enhancement wears out, his face covered with bruises, he wiped the blood and sweat off his lips due to Z9's bombardments but Z9 is still the one that looks in the verge of death.

Even though Z9 didn't get hit. His body is already fully exhausted due to his weak constitution.

Z107's pressure from releasing blows after blows managed to damage his fragile and worn-out body. His will is the only thing that is keeping him standing after the ferocious faceoff as his vision is getting distorted.

They took a breath of rest. And right after the short interlude.

Z107 yelled like he and only Z9 were the only ones alone in the room! “Hhuwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!”

His voice engulfed the whole Main Hall.

His strong and deafening battlecry has been heard to everyone's watching and sent chills to the kids as well.

Then a heavy pressure was released. Enough to reach Z9 10 meters far.

While his Spiritual Energy runs wild. His hair swayed to its flow.

Z107's pupils shrunk a little, gritted his teeth as he clenched his fists.

His muscles shown much clearer and charged while Z9 remained still, still grasping for air heavily.

He charged and gave him a huge kick which Z9 barely escaped.

Then a quick punch that Z9 managed to dodge by the hair and a follow-up which hit Z9's left chest slightly. Then grabbed his cloak and tried to pull him.

The damage was serious as it was shown on Z9's expression while struggling to resist.

While Z9 is being pulled, he let loose of his rugged cloak and quickly jumped off to Z107 instead while still holding both ends of the cloak.

He twisted it twice towards Z107's head as it caused Z107's vision to be blocked momentary and finally, succeeded to strangled him using the rope like cloak to his neck. As well as Z107's mouth and nose were also covered.

And from behind, he pulled the rope like cloak with all his might downwards.

Leaning over Z107's back against his back to choked him while Z107 struggled to break free.

Z9 took a deep breath through his mouth, closed his eyes and yelled as loud as he can while continuing to pull harder. “Whoooooooooshpp…..Hyyeaaaaaaah!!!!!”

It sounds like a kid struggling desperately that resonated shortly then quickly dissipated in the platform where they are fighting at.

It is not as grand as what Z107 did. But everyone can see it's a pure battlecry worth honoring.

Then he opened his eyes facing the floor as he lifted Z107 using his back while pulling the rope like cloak unconsciously.

Soon after, his vision turned blurry then collapsed due to over exhaustion.

As for Z107, his status remained unknown.

After seeing the 2 fell. Head Elder Go showed a content expression then lifted his right hand signaling the guard at the back and took the 2 out of the Main Hall

In the Medic Center

Z9 opened his eyes seeing a white ceiling then blinked slowly and tried to get up

“Urghhh…” Z9 immediately felt pain just attempting to get up so tried to move slowly.

He noticed he is half ***** and covered with bandages as he moves his hand. All four limbs are covered including his chest that hurts the most.

What the hell?!!

My whole body hurts… Wait! What happened to our fight?!

Welp… Seeing I'm still alive, I guess must have won.

Remembering what they did

Z9 shown a sad expression and muttered “I never meant to hurt anyone, especially killing… Killing a little kid at that. I must be going crazy”

Z9 sighed “What will happen now?”

A strong scent of herbal medicine flew to his direction so he looked left, looked right, eyeing his surroundings and noticed he must be in a hospital.

A huge clean room that has 8 beds in it, including his. Mostly the patients were kids, age probably is around 9 to 15 years old. He's the youngest no doubt. But the one that caught his attention is the one that is just next right to him.

A little girl sleeping soundly.

She is about at the age of 9 to 10 and quite cute on top of that.

Her black hair seems smooth and even if her face is covered with bruises. Her small gentle face and long eyelashes is still showing its shine.

Then he leans over and was shocked to what he has seen to her arm that's covered with bandages.

What the??? How did this happen? I know they are training us to be an excellent assassin.

B--but this little girl is just still too young!

Z9 showed a concerned face.

Don't tell me she was sent already to an assassination mission? That is why her right hand wa…..

Out of nowhere a soft voice arose.

“Oh? So you are up now huh? You sure took your time little boy”.

He didn't noticed that someone was already near him

“.....”. Z9 remained silent, looked back and then turned red.

He saw a jaw dropping nurse wearing a light green uniform.

Assuming she might be at the age of nearing or early 30's base on the way she spoke. The nurse is all covered except to her head.

Her long black hair is all tied up, beautiful pokerface with blue eyes as the heaven, pinkish rosy lips and her smoking hot body is no doubt, will be hard to be unnoticed.

Z'9s jaws slowly dropped unknowingly while he unconsciously stared at the nurse's big bazookas.

Daaaaamn!….. Such treasures! This is the best thing that I have ever seen for the last 6 years here!

The nurse noticed and smirked “Okaaay! I'll get someone for you now” then left.

Urrrgh! That ass…

…..

Z9 suddenly realized what he did and felt ashamed asking himself, “why did you have to do that?!” while smacking his head lightly.

Damn you!!! Now she may think or already thinks I'm a pervert!

God!... A pervert at the age of 6?!!

Oooh!!!... Can someone call the Guinness World Records? I'm making history here!

Z9 sighed and looked up

Welp... Kind to think of it, she does resembles my wife's sister. Though I only met her a few times but they doesn't look like sisters at all when it comes to appeara.….

W-wa-waaaiit. Wait wait wait wait wait wait!

This is straaange, I don't seem to remember my wife's appearance yet I remember my sister-in-law's???

Z9 put his hand under his chin and solemnly think.

Uhmmm… I remember, I only married 1 woman in my 1… 2….. 5 lives?!! I remember I truly love her but… Why is the woman I care the most, is the person I can't seem remember?

The harder I think. The more hatred I'm having to that fucking  alche…

Ughrrr…
