Young A Bing

Silver City gradually returned to its former peace. Workers were transporting supplies everywhere outside the city; reconstruction would not be completed in a short time.

What are your plans?

Do you have a choice?

"Yes, come with me to Freljord, or you two can go first; you might be surprised by the results."

"..."

Is this even a choice? Well, it's fine. Going with the army is indeed inconvenient, and as Darius said, there might be unexpected gains.

The soldiers of the War Axe Legion remained as formidable as ever, standing in formation to welcome Darius's return.

Although they did not conquer Demacia on this trip, their goal was to form an alliance, and they were naturally overjoyed to have achieved it.

Now, the entire central region of Runeterra stretches out from Demacia to Noxus and then to Ionia.

Going forward, Noxus will not face significant obstacles whether it chooses to conquer the south or fight in the north.

Of course, the absence of obstacles on the road to conquest does not guarantee success, because every region has its own rulers who will not easily submit.

Freljord, in particular, is located in the northern part of the Valoran Continent, and its entire territory is larger than Demacia and Noxus combined.

Moreover, the area is freezing cold, and there are countless powerful tribes and superhumans, so conquering it directly will probably not be as easy as the previous two times.

We parted ways halfway there. Darius led the army directly to the Frost Fortress to meet up with Rappor, while I prepared to go to Doco.

Jarvan is still worried about Shvana. I need to go ask Teacher Li about the Dragon Race; maybe that will be helpful.

This time when I went back, I couldn't find Noviya's village. It's really hard to find in this desolate wilderness. Last time, I only encountered it by chance because of the fire dragon.

When I left Doco, it was late autumn or early winter. Now that I'm back, it's a world of ice and snow. People haven't stopped going out because of the cold; it's bustling with activity everywhere.

"Let's go, as usual, let's go see a gladiator first." I could see that Riven was already impatient, so I suggested it first.

"Okay, I wonder how A Bing is doing."

"A Bing?"

"That's the kid the Teacher disciplined when we came back last time."

If Riven hadn't brought it up, I would have forgotten about that taciturn boy who was full of murderous intent back then. I wonder if he's still alive.

The arena was as lively as ever. We arrived before the betting began, and the fight between the two warriors was nearing its end, with one of them overwhelming the other with sheer strength.

"Alistar..." people shouted.

"Alistar?" I blurted out without thinking.

"You know him?"

"I know him, but he should be a Minotaur, right? He just looks big and doesn't seem to have any other distinguishing features."

"Minotaur? What does that mean?"

"It looks like a cow, but walks upright like a human."

"Haha, there are people like that too."

Alistar did not leave after winning the duel; he would continue fighting, and his next opponent was none other than A Bing!

After several months apart, A Bing had become even more aloof. Despite the freezing weather, she remained shirtless, her thin frame taut with muscles that looked like steel plates cast into her body.

"This kid trains really hard."

"Yes, the muscles are more toned, and there are quite a few more wounds."

Everyone on the field was supporting Alistar, and almost no one was betting on A Bing to win. I didn't join in the fun, since I wasn't short of money anyway. I hadn't touched the dozens of gold coins I won from Darius.

Alistar was unarmed, while A Bing had a simple short knife. There weren't any particularly powerful weapons here; they were basically just wooden handles with a piece of iron.

At the manager's command, the two began to fight.

To my surprise, A Bing didn't rely on her agility to engage in close combat, but instead chose to confront me head-on!

"He's too arrogant. Even if he learns Teacher Li, he'll never be a match for this big guy."

Riven saw it immediately, and it was indeed the case; several of A Bing's fierce attacks were repelled by Alistar.

"In terms of strength, I'm afraid you're no match for him." I was very confident in Riven's strength, but seeing Alistar's performance, I'm still not so sure.

"I won't confront him head-on."

Despite several failed attempts, A Bing did not give up and continued to unleash the power within her until Alistar grabbed her left foot.

In this situation, if Alistar chooses to throw him to the ground, it will definitely cause serious injury.

A Bing understood, so he quickly used his dagger to stab Alistar's thigh, forcing his opponent to throw him out.

But this throw sent him flying against the wall, nearly knocking him out of the arena.

A Bing approached the wall, he forcefully adjusted his posture, kicked off the steel railing in front of him with both legs, and bounced back to continue the grappling.

Alistar grew increasingly angry, feeling that A Bing's choice to confront him directly was disrespectful.

"You little brat, are you tired of living? If you want revenge for your friend, then kill me, instead of trying to outmuscle me!"

You won't leave here alive today!

It turns out these two had a grudge against each other; it seems Alistar killed A Bing's friend.

The two continued fighting for a while, and finally A Bing stopped launching a direct attack and began to use her agility to control the situation.

Just like when I fought the Man-eating Bear, in the face of absolute power, agility is nothing more than delaying death.

If I gave A Bing a sharp weapon, I have no doubt he could win, but right now, every close-quarters encounter is troublesome.

Alistar never attacks first; he simply approaches his opponent step by step, putting immense psychological pressure on them, and then uses brute force to neutralize the attack when it comes.

Ultimately, he cornered A Bing in this way; his arm span combined with the wall made it very difficult for A Bing to escape again.

"It's a pity that this child expended too much energy at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly."

"I think he might still fight to the death."

Riven didn't think highly of A Bing, but I saw a desperate glint in his eyes.

Finally, Alistar raised his hammer-like Riot Games and slammed it down, but A Bing grabbed one of his arms and wrapped it around his back!

His dagger was long gone. He raised his Riot Games to strike Alistar on the back of the neck, but before the Riot Games could land, Alistar yanked him away, sending A Bing flying back.

The whole process was almost a spin. A Bing returned to the original position, but this time she did not land smoothly. Instead, she crashed heavily into the wall.

Go to another world and meet your friends!
