The roles were suddenly reversed.

In the previous matches, Fia had completely outmaneuvered those fighters.

Now, she has become the "rabbit" waiting to be caught in the trap.

Rein remained calm and composed throughout, simply standing still and steadily delivering damage.

Anyway, it wasn't him jumping around, so my energy expenditure was minimal.

On the contrary, Fia on the other side became increasingly anxious because she couldn't find an opportunity.

This gave her the feeling of being trained by elders at a dojo, constantly being targeted, and having her moves constantly exposed.

It was a very frustrating game.

She panicked, she panicked!

Rein sneered inwardly, "Heh. Trying to find an opening with your Movement Technique? I won't give you the chance."

He could easily see that the masked girl's steps were already a little unsteady.

Side kick, back kick, downward kick, hook kick, spinning back kick, push kick, punch, jab. Each move became increasingly unpredictable, yet I easily parried them all.

This is a common behavior in chickens raised in greenhouses.

Back in his days with the "Weasel Bandit Group," Rein knew how to deal with noble enemies who lacked practical combat experience but possessed impressive martial arts skills.

A noblewoman who's never experienced the harsh realities of life—probably no one would dare take her seriously in daily sparring. She's at the peak of the First Tier of cultivation, yet she genuinely believes herself invincible among her peers.

If it weren't for a friendly sparring match, and if Rein wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have given her the chance to use her Profound Martial Technique!

Having a good gun is one thing, but if your marksmanship is poor, you won't be able to hit anyone.

Even when faced with a killer with extensive combat experience, she didn't even have a chance to draw her gun.

What Rein has to do now is wait for the enemy to run out of bullets, or to become so frustrated that they expose their weaknesses.

The masked girl looked at Rein, who was not like those previous brutes, and hesitated for a long time. Her eyes showed not only anxiety but also some anger.

We can't just keep dragging this on, can we?

Therefore, she decided to take the initiative.

And this was the opportunity that Rein had been waiting for.

Just then, Fia suddenly changed her previous roaming style of play, pushed off the ground and charged forward, her figure as fast as the wind, seemingly about to strike directly at Rein's face.

Suddenly, just as she was about three meters away from Rein, a loud "explosion" rang out in the air!

Snap!

Rein's ear twitched slightly, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for!

How could he not know that the loud bang was the sound of footsteps rapidly stomping on the ground? This was a basic footwork technique from the [Wind Walk] secret art: a sudden stop and change of direction!

This move will catch people completely off guard.

"Sudden stop and turn, jab at the lower back!"

A standard textbook template.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this move; it's like a combination punch in boxing, a classic routine that can deliver a series of heavy blows to the opponent.

Unfortunately, he ran into Rein, who was equally familiar with the "textbook model".

"Behind you!"

Rein had anticipated this and predicted where she would appear.

He completely ignored the "Fia" in front of him, and instead, he used his strength to suddenly twist his body and deliver a spinning kick with his right leg.

This attack wasn't aimed forward, but backward!

His legs curved like blades, cutting through the wind as he arrived.

The next instant, the sole of the foot clearly kicked some obstacle, and there was a crisp "smack" in the air, like someone's face had been slapped hard!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the entire training hall.

Then, a disheveled figure crashed to the ground.

From Fia's sudden sneak attack to Rein's spinning kick, and then to the disheveled figure spitting blood and flying backward, the whole process was over in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until the crisp "snap" sound rang out that everyone came to their senses.

The masked girl, who had just been standing before Rein's death, suddenly seemed to dissipate like fleeting shadows.

Finally, someone realized and exclaimed, "That's... afterimage! Only the [Secret Technique: Wind Walk] can create such an air burst and afterimage!"

Inside the fighting arena, you could hear a pin drop, and everyone gasped in unison.

Hiss~

They were shocked that a young female fighter had actually used the [Wind Walk] technique.

What's even more shocking is that Rein actually predicted it was an illusion!

That leg strike just now was so fluid and graceful... it almost looked like the [Secret Technique: Storm Slash]? No, I didn't see it very clearly.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

"Oh my god! If she had used that move just now, I'm afraid I would have been defeated in one move. She's too fast. A profound level Movement Technique, truly extraordinary."

"Doctor Rein is truly astonishing. I never expected that he wouldn't be fooled by the 'afterimage' and would instead grasp the girl's true motives."

"Didn't you guys think that, putting aside the reaction time, Doctor Rein's kick just now was ridiculously fast? It actually broke through that girl's movement during [Windwalker]'s teleportation."

"."

Below the ring, Mike and a group of onlookers were stunned.

At that moment, they didn't know what to say.

After the initial shock, I was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at the girl's swollen right cheek, they realized that Doctor Rein's whip had landed squarely on the noblewoman's face.

Good whip!

Seeing his prospective "fiancée" get beaten up, Young Master August's face turned ugly. He glanced at Uhm beside him and quickly suggested, "Brother Uhm, let's stop this match! This brute dared to slap Fia Sister Fia in the face; he's utterly vulgar!"

Uhm stared coldly at the arena, letting out a sneer, "Hmph! No need. That girl is always arrogant, it's good to let her suffer a loss today! Besides, it's a fighting competition, why can't she be slapped in the face?"

Even so, the genius fighter's face turned cold.

He thought his sister would suffer a minor loss, but he never expected her to be hit so hard.

Having clearly seen what had just happened, his expression grew increasingly grave.

He was certain that the kick he had just received, even if it wasn't [Storm Cutter], was definitely some kind of regressive leg technique that he had mastered to a high level!

Having lived for over a decade, who would dare to slap Fia Lopez in the face?

The masked girl was stunned by the kick.

I'll kill you!

The thought had just crossed her mind the moment she was sent flying backwards.

But before the anger could show on his face, suddenly!

She watched as that wretched fellow charged straight at her again.

That guy's going to finish me off?!

Anyone with a modicum of martial virtue would do something so ungentlemanly.

Fia instantly understood the other party's intentions. Running so fast, they definitely weren't there to kindly help her up.

She tried to struggle, but her body was still falling after being thrown into the air, and she had no time to react.

At that moment, showing absolutely no mercy, he kicked her hard in the lower abdomen.

"Bang!"

Like a sandbag being kicked away, she was in so much pain that her teeth were clenched, and she couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of bloody foam, her body flying backward several meters.

Not only was the masked girl stunned by the kick, but the group of burly men watching from below the stage were also dumbfounded.

On stage, Rein seemed to have no regard for the fact that his opponent was a woman. He kicked her in the face and then, without any gentlemanly manners, rushed up and kicked her in the stomach.

Everyone heard the two muffled thuds of "smack" and "thud" as if they had been kicked themselves, and they shuddered.

Doctor Rein didn't hold back at all, just because the other person was a woman.

Those two solid legs, even if it were rough men like them, they would probably have to kneel down, let alone a girl with slender arms and waist.

Everyone looked at Rein differently now. "Damn, ruthless."

A true man of steel!

Unfortunately, the masked girl did not fall off the stage as everyone had expected.

After being kicked in the lower abdomen for the second time, she cleverly used the force to spin around and dissipate the impact.

"Wow, that's pretty quick on the uptake!"

Rein was about to deliver a third kick when he noticed that the woman's body spun a few times in the air and then stopped.

[Wind Walk - Soaring Through the Sky] is a method specifically designed to deflect force in this situation.

Fia hadn't expected that she would use this technique in such a moment of desperation, even though she hadn't mastered it yet.

Below the arena, Uhm's eyes lit up. "Hmm, it seems that making her suffer a little is actually beneficial."

What started as a playful battle suddenly turned into a heated confrontation.

When Fia was kicked twice hard by Rein and was about to be kicked three more times, she finally realized what was happening.

Just as her body was falling, she suddenly blocked Rein's leg and then wrapped herself around him like an octopus!

Caught off guard, Rein was thrown off balance by her fall.

And this is just the beginning of the killing move!

The girl was as slippery as a cartilaginous octopus; as she clamped her legs around Rein's thighs, her hands simultaneously gripped his right wrist. With this clamp, she had already unleashed her power.

"[Ten-hand Palace]! Oh no!"

Rein sensed something was wrong.

The numbness in his right arm made him acutely aware of his situation.

Her clamping motion wasn't just about control; her nimble fingers had parted the muscles and gripped a deep meridian, instantly numbing his entire arm like an electric shock.

This is the advanced technique "Muscle Separation" from the secret art of the "Ten Hands" grappling technique, which can instantly cause a person's arm to lose power!

Moreover, what's worse is yet to come. The [Ten Hands] specialize in continuous control techniques; once they get on your side, they'll control you until you're dead!

If you don't find a way to escape, there will be further complications such as "Bone Dislocation," "Vein Severing," and "Acupoint Sealing"!

Before Rein could even react, the girl had already wrapped one leg around his shoulder again. In the instant they both lost their balance and plummeted to the ground, she nimbly shifted her position, pinning both legs down on Rein's neck, rendering him immobile!

"Bang!"

The two fell to the ground.

Woman on top, man on bottom.

At the same time, her powerful legs clamped around Rein's shoulder joints, and she leaned back, arching her back and stretching her abdomen, while simultaneously pulling down on his arms with both hands.

Crucifixion Lock!

The moment his arm was clamped, Rein immediately realized what the woman was going to do.

Once the neck was pressed down, the feeling of suffocation came instantly.

He knew very well that if the woman exerted even a little force at this moment, his elbow joint would be easily broken!

Crucifixion Lock, Ankle Lock, Triangle Choke, Guillotine Choke, Shoulder Pin. These are all common ground techniques in combat, and they are all powerful killing moves that apply pressure!

Even a grown man could lose an arm in an instant if he were stuck to it.

Given that Fia's path is based on skill, how could she not be proficient in these skills?

In a simple sparring match, the attacker usually won't break the opponent's arm immediately, but will continue to exert force, forcing the opponent to feel pain and admit defeat.

But right now, Fia is furious and wants to tear Rein to pieces. How could she possibly let him go!

"Hmph! Gotcha! You bastard!"

The girl sneered inwardly.

Just as she locked Rein in a ground technique with Crucifixion Lock, preparing to break his arm.

Suddenly, she realized that the stiff arm she was holding had suddenly loosened!

It wasn't that she loosened her grip; rather, the man's arm simply went limp.

"What happened?"

Fia was stunned at first.

She had already clamped her legs around his arm, pinning it against her chest. With his elbows restrained in the opposite direction, there was no way he could loosen his grip. It was like a straight wooden stick, destined to be snapped!

Because she was pressing down on Rein, she couldn't see what was happening, but the arm in her hand definitely went limp.

Not hearing the cracking sound of bones breaking, she suddenly didn't know what to do next.

This approach isn't covered in textbooks.

But those watching from below the arena saw it clearly!

"They broke free?!"

"My God, how did Doctor Rein do that? He actually broke Crucifixion Lock!"

"Look, Doctor Rein's arm. He dislocated himself!"

"His reaction speed is too fast. He actually dislocated his shoulder the moment he was subdued!"

"If he hadn't done that, his joints would have shattered. Such decisiveness!"

"."

Everyone was stunned by Rein's incredible reaction.

Then, something even more shocking happened.

Fia's arm went limp, and she lost control of the other person.

Wait a minute, what's going on? The teacher never taught it like this!

Why did that person's arm suddenly go limp?

Before she could react, she suddenly saw the despicable masked man flip over and pin her down.

Sure enough, how could that despicable guy possibly pass up such a good opportunity?

However, her instinctive crisis response made Fia not retreat, but instead press closer.

In combat sports, there's a concept called "entanglement," which means that when you can't dodge an opponent's attack, you should try to get as close as possible to prevent them from having enough space to punch or kick, thus reducing the damage.

But she never expected that Rein had no intention of punching her.

At that moment, the most shocking scene of the entire sparring match unfolded!

Rein's fist transformed into fingers, stabbing out like Poison Fang.

"Gouge out eyes? Shameless bastard! How could you use such a despicable tactic in a competition!"

The masked girl was furious, but with danger looming, she was helpless.

Seeing two fingers poking her face, magnified infinitely in her vision, there was no way to avoid them. Instinctively, she tilted her head back, trying to avoid injury to her eyes.

But

She miscalculated.

Poking someone's eye?

No, he still has that much martial virtue.

Rein's move didn't miss, because it wasn't aimed at the eyes in the first place!

Two fingers enter the cave, striking straight at the heart of the enemy.

The next instant, Fia suddenly felt as if something foreign had been inserted into her nostrils, trying to force its way in. At the same time, a searing pain, like chili water being poured into her nasal cavity, rushed into her brain like a tidal wave!

Stunned

She was completely stunned.

I.

I was

Did someone poke my nose?

How could a socialite from the capital city have her nose poked?

Then, her worldview collapsed!

At that moment, everyone's gaze towards Lei on the stage changed.

Mike was stunned, his eyes gleaming. "Holy crap, Doctor Rein actually stole my [Secret Technique - Nose-Poke]!"
