NovelEnglishChapter 441 - One last match [2]
Then high noon sun was blazing intensely hot, as the world was enveloped by a bright light.
Two days had passed since the round of thirty-two, and today was the round of sixteen. Right now, the area below the tree where the tournament was held was packed with people.
A bustling and boisterous atmosphere enshrouded the place.
Seated amongst the many spectators, Han Yufei quietly gazed in the direction of where the tournament stage was.
Replays of Ren's match against Kimor flashed across his mind as his fists clenched tightly.
'…I was right in admitting defeat to him last time.'
The reason why he had given up when fighting Ren was because he felt that he was holding back when fighting against him. Turns out his speculation was correct.
Ren had truly been holding back when fighting him.
The image of him pummelling down Kimor was deeply engraved inside Han Yufei's mind, and he could never take it away from his sight. It would forever be engraved in his mind.
"Crazy..." Han Yufei ended up muttering to himself.
They were both the same age, yet, the gap between them was so big.
He now understood where his confidence came from when he met him last time. He was confident that he could convince him through his domineering strength!
...and Han Yufei had to admit. He truly had won him over in terms of strength.
Just recalling how he had won the match, Han Yufei's heart couldn't help but be moved. It made him rethink about the offer. If before he was sure about refusing, now...he wasn't so sure.
However, before he could think things through, a new shocking development happened.
Kevin Voss vs Ren Dover
This piece of news, completely shook Han Yufei who couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate with excitement.
There was another person that Han Yufei couldn't properly gauge the strength of, and that was Kevin.
Regardless of how much he trained for the whole three years he had been at the Lock, he had never once been able to come close to him.
He had always been reaching out his hand, trying to grab onto his back, but not once had he ever come close to his level.
Being the heir of the Han clan, Han Yufei was naturally proudful, but whenever he tried to compare himself to Kevin and now even Ren, he couldn't fathom how in the world he was going to come close to their level.
Even so, Han Yufei was not the jealous type.
Just because the two of them had surpassed him, it didn't mean that he felt any jealousy or envy against them.
He just simply wanted to be like them, and recalling the conversation with Ren, Han Yufei had an inkling feeling that Ren might truly be able to help him reach his limits.
Crossing his arms and leaning back on his seat, Han Yufei took a deep breath.
He had finally decided.
If Ren won this match or truly convinced him of his strength, then he, Han Yufei, will talk it out with his family about the possibility of joining him.

Kevin vs. Ren

Banners and posters spread across every street as heavy excitement flashed across the faces of many individuals who were all eagerly waiting for the upcoming duel.
There were some dissatisfactions about the matchup since there could only be one winner, and both sides were human, but those were only in the minority.
At the moment everyone just wanted to see who between the two youths was the strongest.
Was it Kevin?
The individual who had many accomplishments to his name and was named to be the next generational talent, or was it Ren, a dark horse that had emerged from out of nowhere?
Everyone wanted to know.
"Welcome everybody, thank you all for joining us today."
It was then that two familiar faces finally showed up on the screens of everyone's devices. The two individuals were none other than Zack and Lorena.
With a bright smile on her face, Lorena spoke up.
"I'm sure you're all tuned in today for one reason, and one reason only."
Extending her hand, she proceeded to tap onto the table. Two holographic images appeared in front of her when she did so.
The two holographic images were the images of Ren and Kevin. By the side was a brief overview of their data. From the description of how they looked, height, age, and what weapon they specialized in. It covered most of the basics.
"This match was a long time coming. Even though it happened a lot faster than it was originally intended, it was still inevitable for us to see the clash between these two giants. Ren Dover, and Kevin Voss."
Lorena said as she swiped her hand. At her action, images of the arena grounds appeared by the side of her face.
Then, turning her head towards her colleague, she asked.
"Zack, who do you think will win the match between the two of them?"
The moment she asked that question, almost all of the viewers dropped whatever they were doing and paid close attention to Zack's answer.
Although he was only an ranked hero and did not have as much battle awareness as ranked ones, Zack was an expert in the field.
"Keum...Keum...It's hard to make a proper assessment."
"The Sanabria accident, the Kolain tower accident...the list goes on and on."
Taking his eyes away from the articles, Zack stroked his hands together.
Extending his hands, he looked at the cameras and concluded.
Nodding her head by the side, Lorena brightly smiled before adding.
"You're absolutely right, Lorena."
Zack nodded his head, placing both of his hands on the table.
Raising his head and massaging the bottom of his chin, Zack concluded.
A confident smile appeared on Zack's face when he said that.
He was almost certain of this.
"It will be a close fight, but I give the edge to Kevin."
By his side, Loren nodded her head in agreement.
"I'm also with you on that one."
"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like the long-awaited match will finally be starting."
But having known him for long enough, I knew that he was currently on his highest guard.
I shook my head when I saw this.
Kevin called out for me, his voice sounding extremely serious.
"You better not hold back on me."
My eyes rolled when I heard this.
Wasn't planning to. I wanted to see just how much stronger I was compared to Kevin.
So, being the respectable person that I was, I was going to beat him up.
Silence descended in the arena at the appearance of the referee.
