39:Lightning Fast

Two teams were standing in the arena, facing each other.

''First round of Match 4 shall begin! Teams, choose your fighter!''

The first phase of the match will be choosing a fighter, Armya was waiting for Irio to send their fighter first.

''…Let's do this,'' Liam muttered and took a step forwards, instantly the entire stadium locked their gazes on his figure.

''The first fighter from Irio is… Liam Taylor!''

*Cheer*

Cheers resounded in the stadium, but it was very quiet if you compare it to previous cheers.

Evol hummed and also took a step forwards, locking his gaze with Liam.

''The first fighter from Armya is… Evol Crimsonsky!''

*CHEERS!!*

Comparing cheers between Evol and Liam was like comparing earth and sky, it was completely different.

The stadium erupted in loud cheers, making the ground shake a little bit, even people from Ramu, who was living few kilometers away from the stadium can hear the noise.

''First round of Match 4 Begins!'' The announcer announced, the duo of Armya and Irio left the arena to stand on the sidelines, and only two figures were remaining in the center of the arena.

''Liam, you ready?'' The referee pointed at Liam.

Liam nodded.

''Evol, you ready?'' The referee pointed at Evol.

Evol nodded.

Referee's hand was pointing at the sky.

''FIGHT!'' Referee lowered his hand, which was a sign of the match starting.

Evol made the first move and unleashed a lightning fast punch towards Liam, but Liam was prepared and managed to dodge with sidestep towards the left.

Liam counter-attacked with a punch towards Evol's stomach, but Evol parried the punch with his elbow, Evol raised his leg and slammed it into Liam's stomach, making him stumble backward.

''Ugh.'' Liam slightly grimaced

Evol grabbed Liam from his shirt and threw him to the floor.

He continued his ruthless assault with leg stomp, but Liam managed to dodge it by tilting his head, Evol's stomp slightly missing his head.

Liam grabbed Evol's leg and made him fall.

Currently, Liam and Evol were competing in grappling.

But…

That's where Liam made his mistake, Evol is the master of Silat, because that he can lock his opponents and break the bones easily, it is even easier to do during grappling.

Liam tried to mount Evol and start raining punches, he managed to get into the mount position, but he didn't manage to land a punch, because Evol locked him with a leg lock.

Liam's body was in contact with Evol's, that's why he is unable to punch.

Evol started punching Liam's side.

*Smack* *Smack*

The sound of flesh getting beaten was resounded in the stadium.

Liam gritted his teeth while trying to endure the pain for few moments longer.

But shortly after he was unable of enduring anymore, Liam tried to get out of the grappling position, but Evol didn't let him go that easily, he kept punching Liam without stopping.
