Rudra cocked his head at Yang, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch, realizing that it was his turn to explain the details of the contestants.

"Elder, both Nobu, and Chen are from prominent local merchant families and both their fathers have a considerable influence in the town."

Rudra nodded, "So it is a rivalry between two families."

"Yes elder, but the animosity between the two of them can be attributed to their infatuation for a single girl and wanting to win over her heart."

"Oh! who?" Rudra asked excitedly.

Yang shouted inwardly 'shouldn't you be having a carefree attitude elder why do you seem so invested in the gossip of the town' but he continued to explain,

"Sir they are both suitors of the single daughter to the prince Antonio."

"Oh! a princess, even more interesting!"

Cough! Yang coughed awkwardly explaining further.

"Elder, she is also participating in the competition."

"At a banquet held by the prince, Nobu was defeated miserably at the hands of Chen, also many vile rumors are spreading in the town lately smearing his name..."

Rudra nodded his head appreciating the awareness of the guide provided to him as he looked intently at the fight that was about to start,

Nobu swore he was going to gain back his lost prestige and more!

And the most direct way was to defeat the culprit, Chen, humiliate him severely, tyrannize him and stomp him firmly into the ground!

"Fight? I have no time and no interest in fighting you!" Chen smiled in confidence as he shook his head and walked towards Nobu like he was air.

"Chen, you coward! You won by a fluke and no longer have the guts to fight me? Alright! I've long since known that your Jiang family is a clan of cowards. You don't fight? Fine! I will let you go as long as you admit in front of everyone that you're a coward!"

Chen ignoring him was, in Nobu's eyes, a guilty act. This bolstered Nobu's confidence even more and made him firmly believe that Chen had won through luck.

Suddenly, Chen's steps froze. Perhaps it was his ego that was ruffled.

"Three moves!" Chen glared at Nobu coldly. "You have no qualification to fight with me! I will concede if you aren't flat on your back in three moves!"

"Hahaha! You are very cocky indeed! I don't want your three moves! I am the exalted heir of…" Nobu was about to continue his boasts and bluster when the words abruptly died in his throat.

He dared not speak further and he could not speak further because, in front of him, Chen had become like a cocked arrow, emitting a strange kind of aura and locking onto Nobu.

"The first move, watch carefully!"

Chen had no flowery moves and merely took one step forward. His arm lifted slightly as he took one step.

Except that when he raised his arm, it gave others a heart-pounding sensation.

"Heavy punch!"

An aura as sharp as a sword spread out, from his fingertip, and lanced through the air. It had an incredible path, it was as if it would cleave the air as it shot towards Nobu!

Nobu only felt that his eardrums were going numb as noise roiled. The startling point was speeding towards his weaknesses like a loosed arrow.

"Huh. Same old tricks. Trying to harm me with this cheap punch?"

Although Nobu had been surprised by the suddenness of this attack, he was still confident that he could evade it.

His body dashed away like the waving movements of grass in wind.

"Grass Wind Wave!"

Nobu's body moved like dandelion soaring through the air. The rhythm of the movement was like water ripples caused by the wind, it had an indescribable elegance.

Nobu was very confident. He firmly believed that that day's defeat was a result of the stipulations set by the opponent. He was going to fully demonstrate his skills today and beat the shit out of Chen!

However, his moment of pride didn't last long. Chen took another step forward, but the movement of his arm had somewhat increased in speed.

"Windburst!"

Chen's moves were simple, fast.

Of course, a hint of a pleased smile found its way to Nobu's face. "Chen, although your new technique is not bad, you've run out of tricks haven't you? Do you want to hurt me? Keep dreaming!"

But, it was as if he hadn't spoken.

Chen's entire posture suddenly changed drastically. His finger moved slightly and the rhythm changed again.

"Sonic Punch!"

A shocking hit.

Nobu only felt a sharp pain under his rib cage in the same position as last time, but he felt more than ten times that power. It ripped apart all his moves and defenses mercilessly like it was paper. Another hit!

Nobu's body fell heavily to the ground again, his status unknown!

"Yang, get that man who just got broken," Rudra said turning to his guide.

Yang nodded his head avoiding his gaze from staring at the elder who was happy like a child who has gotten a new toy.

While Yang turned to complete his request Rudra pondered to himself, even though he is very prideful but that will change after he matures, hehe a gem no one will accept him after his pathetic run.

I hope more of them act like him, repelling other elders from selecting them. Rudra rubbed his palms excited at his new catch.

"He is the perfect candidate to learn to farm." grinned Rudra as he thought about the moves used by Nobu.

"These competitions sure are fun, I might get addicted to these, they appear to be the best entertainment I have found in this world," Rudra said feeling sad for all things from his life on earth that he missed. Rudra was enjoying this event like it was an action movie in the theatres.

"I am looking forward to the ones organized by the other princes," Rudra said as he rubbed his smooth chin with his fingers, not realizing the eyes staring at him from a distance.
