Rein never expected that the masked girl would turn her attention to him.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be planning to beat up all the fighters in the training ground before she felt satisfied.

Or perhaps she realized that she had held back during her sparring match with Mike?

Rein raised an eyebrow.

He felt that this rich girl, who had never experienced the harsh realities of life, looked down on everyone and was really asking for a beating.

But it seems that beating him up would cause some trouble.

This makes people hesitate.

Just then, Bazel's thuggish voice rang out.

"Rein, you're always bullying newbies and you're not improving much. Here comes a 'genius' for you to practice on, go try him out. Forget about being a noble, I'll cover for you even if you kill him, so go ahead and beat him up!"

After a pause, the guy urged, "Besides, those famous gauntlets are no ordinary items. I'm even a little envious of them. Why not take them?"

Rein didn't know where Bazel was hiding, but he was definitely nearby watching the commotion.

The assassination attempt in the city had given this legend quite a fright. With the Silver Radiance Sacred Artifact's injuries finally showing signs of healing, he was unwilling to see his doctor suffer any more mishaps.

After leaving the city, Bazel was no longer constrained.

This place isn't like the "City of Radiance," which is heavily protected by magic. Although his strength hasn't fully recovered, if he wanted to leave, no one in this base could stop him.

His confidence is also Rein's confidence.

When even the big shots are encouraging you to take action, all your concerns become trivial.

After thinking for a moment, a look of eager anticipation appeared on Rein's face.

He can hardly find an opponent of his rank among hunters who can go all out, and he can't beat Second Tier fighters. This First Tier Grand Perfection Fia Lopez is a good opponent.

The same high-level breathing technique, the same advanced martial arts skill.

An opponent with similar soft power is the best opponent to hone one's skills.

Moreover, there's another point.

He was now under the protection of Princess Ymir and had already chosen a side. And Lady Canossa of the "Black Gold Merchant Guild" was, in his opinion, a good friend of Ymir. In any case, he would most likely be mortal enemies with the "Sunflower Merchant Guild" in the future, so there was nothing he couldn't afford to offend.

To be reasonable,

We're not after any "famous weapon" [Karnap's Sacred Gauntlets], we just want to teach this arrogant little bitch a lesson.

"That wasn't enough of a warm-up."

The masked girl started mocking again, not at Rein, but for her Uhm's ears.

Her brother always boasted about how experienced these hunters were in combat, and how much she should learn from them.

Looking at it now, it's not all that great.

At this moment, August, the eldest son of the Winst Family, smiled broadly and flattered her, saying, "Fia, that's enough. Your masterful [Ten Hands] technique would be too much even for Second Tier fighter. Continuing like this would be bullying."

These words seemed to be a way to save face for the hunters at the base, but in reality, they were still praising the masked girl.

Don't be fooled by sweet talk that sounds nauseating to others; it's very pleasing to young girls.

"Tch~ This is so boring."

The masked girl pursed her lips, agreeing that it was only natural. Before stepping off the stage, she casually asked, "Hey, do you want to have a match?"

My competitive spirit had almost completely disappeared. Thinking that this masked man was about the same level as the previous guys, I lost much of my interest.

Unexpectedly, this time, the masked man readily agreed, "Okay!"

Then, he went into the ring.

"Doctor Rein, you..."

No one expected that Rein would accept the girl's challenge at this moment.

Having defeated more than ten people in a row, even Mike, who had just defeated him, was no match for the masked girl, and no one thought Rein could last long.

He figured he'd probably get a beating and be kicked off the ring soon.

Unexpectedly

After Rein took over, he not only didn't get kicked off after a few rounds, but he remained remarkably strong.

After Rein took the stage, he didn't waste any words and the two immediately started fighting.

Fia thought that, like in the previous battles, she could easily defeat her opponent in just a few moves.

Unexpectedly, they met their match this time.

Fia's skill-based style is essentially based on the tactic of "counter-attack". Generally speaking, she does not attack recklessly, but relies on Movement Technique movement to find the opponent's weakness and seize the opportunity to attack, killing in one blow.

When challenging others before, she relied on her agile Movement Technique and it always worked.

As long as her opponents can't catch her Movement Technique, they basically can't do anything to her.

But this tactic doesn't work against Rein.

Rein had figured out her fighting style, so he didn't make any rash moves and instead used a "defense and counterattack" tactic.

You can jump all you want, I'll just stand still and keep attacking.

Because, apart from martial arts

Rein has an absolute hidden advantage over others, and that is his "perception" ability!

Most combat sequence Gene Potion awaken attributes related to strength and resilience. Even silver and Gold Quality potions offer only a very limited boost to "perception".

Strictly speaking, Rein is not Fighter Sequence; he is a "Battle Doctor"!

The [Corpse Stitcher] potion provided him with a power boost, as well as a significant amplification of his five senses. This included not only his ability to spot targets with his eyes, but also his ability to locate objects by sound and his heightened sense of touch.

Visual enhancement: Like the snapshot function of a high-speed camera, it can clearly capture even moving targets that are so fast that they are just afterimages to ordinary people.

Enhanced tactile sense: As the wind from a punch strikes, the airflow brushes against his pores and pierces his skin, allowing him to keenly sense the direction of the attack, even in blind spots. The more acute his tactile perception, the stronger the sensation of airflow. Upon physical contact, he can instantly relay the direction of the opponent's force to his brain, enabling his body to react swiftly.

Auditory enhancement: Whenever the target moves, there will inevitably be sound. This includes the sound of feet rubbing against the ground during movement, the sound of a punch, and the sound of clothing.

With multiple approaches combined, Fia's agile Movement Technique, which were almost impossible to detect in the eyes of ordinary First Tier Transcendent, were completely within the range of a detectable reaction in Rein's eyes.

As long as he doesn't reveal any flaws, he won't give the other side an opportunity to take advantage!

The two fought back and forth on stage, and the two reached a stalemate.

It's not that it wasn't lively.

But the audience looked at it strangely.

Their fighting style didn't resemble that of close-quarters combat fighters, but rather that of two agile, mobile rangers.

"This Doctor Rein, he's usually about the same level as me. He doesn't seem that good, so why can't he lose? That's strange."

"Isn't that impressive? Didn't you learn your lesson from that girl's agility? She was so slippery, you couldn't even catch her. Doctor Rein's ability to hold his own for so long is already quite remarkable, okay? Anyone else would have been down by now."

"Didn't you guys notice that Doctor Rein seems to be able to predict and precisely dodge every attack that girl makes?"

"Huh, I hadn't noticed before, Doctor Rein's fighting style is quite steady."

"Sigh, if I hadn't been so impulsive just now, and had remained calm like him, I definitely could have held out for this long."

"How much longer do you think Doctor Rein can hold on?"

"."

Below the stage, the fighters who recognized Rein began to discuss among themselves.

Although they didn't think Rein would win, they were also hoping he could save face for them.

"I knew I was right, that guy has a strong ability to adapt to real combat situations."

Uhm watched the fight on the stage, his brow furrowing slightly. He muttered, "That girl Fia is about to lose her composure; she's likely to suffer."

He knew very well that there were generally only two reasons why such a stalemate would occur on the ring.

First, the other party was very perceptive and caught Fia's movements;

Secondly, the masked guy had extensive combat experience, which allowed him to easily predict his opponent's moves.

Uhm didn't think that just any low-level hunter would have much perception ability; he was more convinced that Rein was a hunter with rich combat experience.

Thinking of this, he muttered to himself, "Alright, let that girl suffer a bit, and see how a true master of practical combat fights."

"Brother Uhm, do you think Fia will suffer a loss? I don't think so."

Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the family, Winston, disagreed.

He chuckled and said, "That masked kid wasn't planning on a reckless attack; he must have learned his lesson from those brutes earlier. His 'Turtle Technique' might hold out a bit longer, but the difference in strength will eventually lead to his defeat. Fia isn't just good at Movement Technique; her close-quarters grappling is her true killing move."

He paused, then said with certainty, "I guarantee that once that kid gets close enough to stick to him, he'll be defeated immediately."

"I guess so."

Uhm thought so too.

After all, his younger sister's [Secret Technique: Ten Hands] was quite skilled.
