I Am Unstoppable novel

The purpose of the Golden Sword Tournament was to promote Chanaean martial arts and continue its legacy.

Since ancient times, many ambitious warriors had sacrificed their blood, sweat, and tears for their dreams.

The fighters and warriors fought to achieve their dreams through their own powers.

Any man would never stop thinking about martial arts as long as they mastered its skills.

Many talented people had appeared in the rolling torrent of history. Some had practiced Kung Fu, and some mastered the skills of Shadow Punch. Not to mention that some had even created their own techniques, and there were many of them that came from more modern times. Every one of those historical figures had left their traces in history.

For example, Tommy Scott, also known as Tiger head, was recognized as the strongest person in the world. He had invented his own fighting technique, the Scotts’ Shadow Punch.

As for Harold, his Half-Step Crash Punch had defeated everyone who fought against him. Meanwhile, Charles ‘Yaeger, a fighter from Coldbridge, earned himself the title of “the Undefeatable” back then.

There was even a movie that talked about the story of Charles nowadays.

Just like what their ancestors did back then, many martial artists tried to leave their traces in the world.

After all, those who practiced martial arts were ambitious.

Therefore, although the Golden Sword Tournament was dangerous, many martial art fighters decided to join it. They thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to earn their achievements.

The life and death battles between the participants were the main reason those martial artists got attracted to the Golden Sword Tournament.

Martial arts involved life-threatening techniques. Moreover, those who practiced it mentioned that they should only use

their skills to kill their enemies. Hence, if those fighters wanted to start a battle, it would be a match that involved a matter of life and death. For them, it was pointless for those professional boxers to put on their protective gears.

Time passed by, and the opening ceremony of the Golden Sword Tournament was getting closer and closer.

Jonathan and Polly remained silent. On the other hand, Jessica, Yasmin, and Amber were anxious. If Jonathan and Polly did not join that tournament, they would definitely be excited, for it was a rare opportunity for them to witness such a grand event.

Just then, staff members carried a gigantic, golden sword onto the stage. That sword was not made from pure gold. The price would be really high if that were the case. Nonetheless, that sword was enormous, so it was worth around ten million.

Despite that, the martial artists focused more on the honor of getting that golden sword. If they managed to win it, that would become their lifetime achievement once the news of them winning spread in the future.

Furthermore, they could also boast about who they had defeated during the Golden Sword Tournament.

After carrying the golden sword onto the stage, the staff members put it below the big screen.

Following that, the person in charge of the Golden Sword Tournament walked up the stage to give his speech.

Edgar's speech was short and simple, which perfectly portrayed the style of a martial artist. First of all, he thanked all the seniors in the martial arts circle for showing their support for the competition. Then, he also thanked all the new and professional fighters for joining the tournament.

Finally, he introduced the rules of the competition.

According to the rules, every participant had the chance to withdraw from only one battle. If one decided to pull out twice, they would get eliminated.

Also, they should give their best efforts upon entering the ring. It was a competition that involved a matter of life and death, after all.

In other words, a participant could choose to withdraw from

the battle if they felt that they could not win. However, once they stepped into the ring, they would have to fight until their last breath.

Jonathan knew about the rules from the start. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to withdraw from a single battle. That was already listed in the liability waiver form when he signed it. The members from Strikezone Martial Arts had taken a long time to plan that tournament, so they would never let Jonathan find a loophole where he could take advantage of it.

They arranged a battle between Leonardo and Jonathan so that Leonardo could kill the latter during the competition.

Initially, they did not plan to arrange a battle between Jonathan and the others as they were afraid that Jonathan would lose the fight purposely to get himself eliminated.

Nevertheless, there was an issue with the participants when the members of Strikezone Martial Arts were arranging the battles. In truth, Jonathan could choose to end the tournament peacefully, but he did not want to.

There were several reasons behind his decision. First of all, that was the perfect opportunity to resolve his grudges with Strikezone Martial Arts.

Secondly, even if he decided to withdraw from the tournament, the people from Strikezone Martial Arts would come up with other plans to take his life.

Most importantly, the atmosphere of the Golden Sword Tournament had influenced Jonathan. Hence, he wanted to show how capable he was in front of everyone.

After Edgar finished introducing the rules, he walked off the stage.

Soon, a song named “Fighters' Dream” was played on the big screen.

As soon as the music rang out, everyone's blood began to boil in excitement.

Of course, not everyone was excited upon hearing the song.

There was a satisfied look on Braxton and Skyler's faces.

They had spent quite a long time in Chanaea, and they had

put in a lot of effort to refine their martial arts skills. Thus, they knew the history of Chanaea very well. Since they were also fluent in Chanaean, they could understand the lyrics of “Fighters' Dream” well. They knew that it was a song about the ancestors of Chanaean fighting against the Jetroinians in the past.

After the song was played, a series of numbers appeared on the screen that seemed to be counting down.

At that moment, Edgar's voice sounded from a loudspeaker on top of the hall, “Everyone, please rise!” The crowd stood up abruptly in unison.

Then, Edgar continued, “A battle ring is a stage for all the fighters to prove themselves. If a fighter loses their life in the ring, that will be their destiny to die as a fighter. | know we will lose many excellent fighters in the next three days as blood will be spilled in the ring. Therefore, let's take five minutes to mourn for these people. After these five minutes, the tournament will officially begin!” The atmosphere in the hall was tense and heavy.

Everyone's spirits lifted upon hearing that.

Five minutes later, they took their seats.

The next moment, the participants’ names started blinking on the screen. The system was randomly selecting the fighters for the first battle.

Finally, the screen froze, showing Polly and Stephen's names.

Upon seeing that, Jonathan fell into a daze. What the heck? How did Stephen and Polly end up going against each other? Is this really a coincidence? That was something Jonathan did not wish to see the most.

Initially, Stephen said he would never risk his life in the ring.

Unfortunately, that was the first battle of the tournament.

There were many martial artists watching, so the atmosphere was heavy, and it would be hard for either Stephen or Polly to hold back during the battle.

Polly stood up and walked toward the stage.

Meanwhile, Stephen also headed onto the stage. There was

a strange expression on his face.

Not long after, they stood inside the ring, facing each other.

Everyone fixated their eyes on them. Right then, Jonathan's heart sank. He did not want anything dangerous to happen to both Polly and Stephen.

Yet, something unexpected happened.

Stephen bowed before turning around to face the audience.

Finally, he said, “I'll give up on this battle!” Then, he heaved a sigh of relief before walking down the stage.

Polly was stunned. She felt a little touched. This rascal! Initially, she was in a dilemma, but she did not expect Stephen to be that decisive.

With that, Polly was announced as the winner on the screen.

As soon as Polly walked down the stage, the lists of names on the screen started blinking again.

After some time, Skyler and Kenneth's names appeared on the screen.

Kenneth Scott was Tommy's descendant, so he had mastered the Scotts’ Shadow Punch.

The two quickly walked up to the stage.

Skyler was wearing a white, traditional Jetroinian outfit. Most Jetroinians wore that during their battles.

Skyler was an evil and cruel man. A sense of mockery flashed across his eyes as he looked at Kenneth.

He had joined the current tournament to show off his combat skills. Furthermore, he wanted to kill Chanaean fighters as a Jetroinian in a Chanean battle ring.

As for Kenneth, he was wearing a black robe. He was in his forties, and he looked firm and mature.

Skyler sneered as he looked at Kenneth. “Old man, you haven't even reached the stage of Neutralizing Force at this age. | guess you've wasted your life. | advise you to surrender now. Get on your knees before leaving the stage.” His clear voice echoed throughout the entire stadium.

That Jetroinian was being too arrogant. Seconds later, everyone in the room got infuriated.

“Kill that Jetroinian! Kill him!” Some of them began to shout.

Following that, more and more people yelled below the stage.

Kenneth remained silent, displaying a solemn demeanor. He was not affected by what Skyler and the audience said.

Raising his hand, he said, “Let's start.” Skyler sneered. He scanned the audience with a wicked grin before making a vicious expression. His gaze turned cold, exuding a sinister aura. Seeing that, some of the audience were petrified.

After a second, Skyler made his first move.

Although he was merely an arrogant young man in his twenties, his determination in martial arts was strong.

He dashed forward like a fierce and aggressive jungle beast.

His movements were as fast as a bolt of lightning.

Then, he swung his arms toward Kenneth's chest.

He was moving so fast that Kenneth could only see a flashing

silhouette in front of him. Before he could react, a gust of wind bombarded him. Kenneth's Shadow Punch focused on slow and smooth movements. On top of that, he had practiced Shadow Punch for a long time, so he was calm deep inside his heart. Therefore, he was a little not used to Skyler's fast, fierce moves.

Nonetheless, he was also an experienced fighter. He took a step backward before turning around and using Obstacle Hammer on Skyler.

His fists were as strong as hammers. As he swung his arms, he looked like he was dancing with a pair of giant hammers in his hands.

Although his movements looked weak, his punches were powerful.

Skyler snorted. Suddenly, he spun around swiftly and grabbed the sides of Kenneth's thighs.

Kenneth missed his target but immediately swung his hands down to grab Skyler by the waist.

Skyler instantly jumped up like a rabbit. His body was as swift

as an arrow. After that, he banged his head toward Kenneth's abdomen.

Kenneth did not expect Skyler to have such strange movements, so he was completely caught off guard.

Skyler's head landed on his stomach and sent the latter flying. Finally, Kenneth fell to the ground heavily.

Roar! At that moment, Skyler immediately ran forward to stomp on Kenneth's arms hard.

Crack! Kenneth's bones shattered.

However, Skyler did not plan to stop yet. He stepped on Kenneth's chest forcefully. At last, Kenneth spat out a mouthful of blood and met his end on the spot.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Three seconds later, Kenneth died a tragic death.

Everyone went dead silent.

They were infuriated upon seeing how cruel Skyler was.

It was normal for a fighter to get killed during the Golden Sword Tournament. After all, no one could ever hold themselves back as soon as they started a battle.

Regardless, it was evident that Kenneth was not a match for Skyler. Skyler had already won the battle the moment he sent Kenneth flying. Thus, he did not have to Kill him, but he did not show any mercy on him.
