Karnap's Sacred Gauntlets

"Just watch, there's no need for him to go on stage."

Upon hearing her sister's suggestion, Uhm shook her head.

He found some aspects of the sparring worthwhile, but didn't consider these First Tier fighters worthy of being his opponents. Besides, he had his own pride, and this kind of exchange posed no challenge to him whatsoever.

Children from large families often possess a certain eccentricity and rebelliousness.

Hearing this, the masked girl also became agitated and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you just say that they are so amazing and that I should learn from them? Humph, if you won't go, I'll go and try it myself!"

Uhm frowned. "Don't be unreasonable!"

At this moment, August interjected, trying to ease the tension, saying, "Let junior sister try, it won't hurt. Anyway, no one can beat her."

"."

Uhm wanted to say something more, but when he turned around, he saw his sister had already jumped onto the ring.

"Hey, look! Someone else is going up on stage!"

"She's a woman!"

"His face is covered, and he looks like a nobleman."

"."

People near the fighting ring had already noticed the three guys whose attire seemed out of place, and now that one of them had suddenly jumped onto the ring, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

I challenge you!

After the masked girl took the stage, she didn't say a word.

She directly took out a pair of white half-finger gauntlets and said with a slightly boastful tone, "These are the legendary artifacts, the [Karnap's Sacred Gauntlets], made from the silk of the Fifth-tier Magical Beast 'Crystal Demon Spider'. They are enchanted with three high-level enchantments: 'Gravity', 'Armor Penetration', and 'Toughness,' making them impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to blades and spears!"

She paused, glanced at the crowd below, and said, "Whoever can beat me today can have these boxing gloves! If I win, I won't take a single penny! Anyone dare to come up and challenge me?"

Her tone was very confident, as if she was certain that no one could possibly win the boxing gloves from her.

"Is this woman here to challenge us?"

Everyone present was stunned when these words were spoken.

Although no one knew where the masked girl came from, the prize for the contest certainly drew everyone's attention.

Equipment that has a name is considered top-tier.

Those that can be called "famous instruments" must have a very special background.

Some people recognized the origin of the boxing gloves, and their gazes gradually became intense.

"I remember fifteen years ago, a famous fighting master in Omar, Rudolf Iron Fist, had protective gloves named after him, called the Karnap's Sacred Gauntlets!"

"I've also heard that this is top-tier fighter protective gear made by Master Primo of Omar back in the day."

"Who is this woman? She actually took out such a valuable item to gamble with so casually."

"."

The girl in front of me spoke arrogantly, which made me very uncomfortable, but she had indeed brought out something good.

But in the world of martial arts, being challenged is perfectly normal.

In particular, "challenging" between different schools and dojos is commonplace.

Teachers and elders also encourage the younger generation to do so, because the fighting profession itself is one that requires constant combat and honing.

Either you beat someone up or you get beaten up; both are forms of progress.

Below the ring,

"Why"

Uhm sighed and rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless with his willful sister. He said helplessly, "This girl has gone a bit too far. She actually used the coming-of-age gift that Grand Duke Rubiao gave her as a bet."

August, however, didn't seem to care and laughed easily, "Brother Uhm, what does it matter? No one can win anyway, so let Fia have a go."

"."

The words had already been spoken, and Uhm couldn't say anything more, so he could only look on helplessly with his arms crossed.

Women are born with only about one-twentieth the amount of hormones like testosterone that promote muscle synthesis, giving them an inherent disadvantage in terms of strength growth.

Therefore, female fighters are extremely rare in the Extraordinary Profession of martial arts, which relies heavily on physical strength.

But if someone does, they must be a master!

Now that everyone has seen such a "heavy bet," they are all curious about the woman's identity.

"This woman, who is wearing a veil and refuses to show her face, could she be a noblewoman from some empire?"

"You guessed right, that girl really is a noble! See that one over there? The eldest son of the Winst Family is personally accompanying her, and next to him is Uhm Lopez, the only son of the president of the 'Sunflower Merchant Guild'. And the one on the stage is his younger sister Fia Lopez, who holds the title of Imperial Baron. She's a true noble."

"Huh? Could she be the legendary fighting prodigy from the Oma Imperial Capital, the girl fighter who's said to be sixteen years old and about to break through to Fia second Gene Chain?"

"Hehe, yes. But his brother is even more amazing! I heard he's a once-in-a-century fighting genius in Omar, having advanced to the Second Tier excellent Silver Potion [Anchor Hand]. His strength is extraordinary, and he's already mastered four of the 'Six Forms of Combat Techniques'! He's the last disciple of the Martial Grandmaster 'Rocky Lefar,' and even Grandmaster Qianghu, the head of our 'Hegemon Tiger Martial Arts Hall' in City of Radiance, has to call him junior brother in terms of seniority."

"That's amazing."

"."

Those who could stay in the Mechanical City were all noble and powerful families of the City of Radiance. They rarely mingled with the lower classes, just as nobles and commoners were clearly separated.

Normally, those noble fellows from the Mechanical City rarely come to the public training hall, so I don't know why three of them suddenly showed up today.

When Rein heard someone reveal the identities of the three men, he narrowed his eyes and subtly sized them up.

Although he did not know August, he had no good feelings towards the Winst Family, who had framed his teacher.

He wasn't interested in getting to know the other two geniuses; what he cared about more was the "Sunflower Merchant Guild" behind them!

Over the past few months, there have been continuous reports proving that this new chamber of commerce, officially supported by OMA, exists specifically to squeeze out the "Black Gold Merchant Guild."

The "Black Gold Merchant Guild" suffered heavy losses in its business network in City of Radiance, almost being wiped out. It is said that the Lopez Family behind the "Sunflower" was behind it.

Even the danger faced by Mrs. Canossa, the vice president of Black Gold, was suspected to be orchestrated behind the scenes by this chamber of commerce.

"What a bunch of annoying people."

Rein thought to himself, "I'm just complaining."

His eyes flickered, then he glanced at the boxing gloves in the hands of the arrogant, masked girl on the stage, his gaze becoming somewhat intense.

These are truly exceptional glove-shaped gloves, something you can't buy with money.

The "PM VI Type Micro-Hammer Modified Version" Mechanical Arm he used before is no longer suitable for his rapidly increasing strength. Although it provides a powerful boost to his strength, it also greatly restricts his movement and significantly hinders the application of his combat skills.

And these enchanted, top-quality gauntlets are the perfect choice.

Wearing it, you can completely disarm an opponent with your bare hands.

After waiting for a while, the masked girl watched as a group of burly men pointed and whispered about her, but none of them stepped onto the stage.

At this moment, her eyes revealed undisguised contempt, and she once again launched into a taunting attack.

"What? Nobody dares to come? Don't worry, I haven't broken through to the Second Tier yet. Today we'll only compete in martial arts, no items needed! Whoever can beat me gets the [Karnap's Sacred Gauntlets]!"

This city dweller from the Oma Imperial Capital, with her arrogant tone and haughty attitude, finally angered the fighters present.

"Hmph! You really think we're afraid of you!"

"That is."

"Let's compete!"

"."

A group of burly men stormed onto the stage, only to be beaten off with a series of thuds.

One after another, they were beaten until they were completely powerless.

She was like a nimble rabbit, leaping and bounding across the ring, her moves precise, swift, and ruthless.

Lower ribs, lower back, knees, jaw, behind the ears

Her punches always hit the most vulnerable spots on the human body, and she could often knock down a strong man who was half a head taller than her and make him howl in pain in just a few moves. This was an absolute crushing victory in terms of skill.

It must be admitted that the masked girl was arrogant, but she had the right to be arrogant.

Many nobles are weak in combat because they are addicted to pleasure and unwilling to cultivate themselves.

But there are also those who strive for excellence, like the one in front of us.

These high-ranking noble families possess top-tier cultivation resources. They have no shortage of high-quality magic potions and martial arts techniques. Anyone with a bit of talent can easily become much stronger than the commoner hunters who lack cultivation resources!

After watching several of the masked girl's battles, Rein had a rough idea of her skill level. "Her mastery of the [Wind Walk] technique, a downgraded martial art, should be 'perfected'. Her Movement Technique is agile; she specializes in [Secret Technique: Ten Hands] for attack skills, and has also made some progress in [Storm Slash]. She's going for a skill-based approach, which is a good way to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses."

This is the most common build for female fighters: the skill-based style.

If you can't compete with a man's strength, then compete with skill.

The "Secret Technique: Ten Hands" is a unique grappling technique that uses minimal force to overcome great strength. It combines joint locks with Acupoint Sealing techniques from ancient martial arts, allowing them to defeat opponents who are larger and stronger than themselves.

Outsiders couldn't see the mystery in the masked girl's fighting style, but Rein, who also mastered the "Ten Hands," knew it all.

It must be admitted that she is indeed exceptionally talented in combat; otherwise, she would not have been able to master the most complex technique among the "Six Forms of Combat."

However, Rein had no intention of participating in the competition.

, . An obvious gambling fight with her brother.

Besides, if he didn't reveal the "Six Forms of Combat Profound Meaning" he knew, he really wouldn't be confident of defeating this woman.

But what he didn't expect was that trouble would come knocking on his door even though he didn't want to cause it.

More than a dozen burly men standing by the fighting arena were no match for the masked girl and were utterly defeated.

Even Mike, who had previously defeated Rein, was beaten badly and left the ring with dark circles under his eyes.

This was already a near-crushing victory.

The girl's challenge was a resounding victory!

Having defeated more than ten people in a row, the girl's arrogance grew stronger. She glanced defiantly at her brother not far away and murmured, "Heh, nothing special."

See? This is all the powerful hunter you talked about?

Hearing this, the fighters at the base were indignant, but they were no match for the other fighter and slunk into a corner, not daring to say a word.

The farce should have ended by now, but the girl seemed to still feel unsatisfied.

At that moment, she noticed someone watching the spectacle from below the stage. With her head held high and her head held high, she pointed at him and said, "Hey, you wearing the mask, come up here and have a match?"

"."

Rein paused for a moment when he saw everyone looking at him.

He looked around and realized there didn't seem to be another masked guy nearby.

Then it dawned on him that the girl seemed to be referring to him.

He pointed to his nose, looking at himself strangely, and said, "Me?"

Please vote for me!
