Legend of the Rage God

Tina vs Darren

Jaden easily advanced to the final three.

Nothing special happened in this duel. Therefore, after it ended, the crowd instantly turned their attention towards the upcoming duel.

The next matchup piqued everyone’s interest, even Jaden was interested. On account of the fact that it was Tina against Darren.

The two of them were considered as the most elite among the younger generation in the Shiba Clan. In fact, most people predicted that either one of them would win this Annual Clan Assessment.

However, the two of them were to now clash unexpectedly before the final round, this exchange would be exciting indeed……

“Tina.”

Clark hesitantly announced after he saw that both of them had drawn the same lot.

Upon hearing Clark’s call, Tina acknowledged in her lovable voice. With a twist of her tiny waist, she floated up onto the stone platform like a butterfly. Her slender and valiant look, drew the attention of several youngsters.

As Tina ascended onto the stone arena, Darren also elegantly leaped onto the arena. Dressed in white, he appeared handsome and refined, at this sight, several people in the crowd lightly nodded their heads in approval.

“Tina, please go easy on me.” Darren respectfully bowed towards her.

“If I hold back, the one who loses will likely be me.” Tina grinned. A rare look of concentration in her eyes, she knew that based on Darren’s strength, she would most likely have to fight with everything that she had.

Darren smiled as a fire burned in his eyes. Tina could be counted as the most outstanding member among the younger generation of the Shiba Clan. If he could defeat her today, he would be able to claim the number one position.

“Let the duel begin!”

Standing below the platform, Clark shouted as he signaled for the match to begin.

Just as Clark finished his announcement, a faint glow emerged from the bodies of the two contestants. This was Profound Qi.

“Qi Condensing Realm 10th Stage…”

As they gazed at the rather dense glow emerging from their bodies, many people in the crowd gasped in surprise. Even though they had their suspicions after watching the previous duels, they were still amazed upon witnessing this sight.

To be able to advance to Qi Condensing Realm 10th Stage at such a young age. This clearly showed the latent potential they possessed. If they were given proper training, they will definitely have a bright future ahead.

On his seat, Victor Shiba had a content smile on his face as he witnessed this sight. The more stellar his grandsons were, the happier he felt.

“Tina, watch out!”

As the glow on his body flickered, Darren’s expression turned deadly serious as he abruptly leapt forward. A devastating force could be felt from his two palms which he swung in a horizontal arc towards Tina.

Faced with the biting cold wind from Darren’s palm, Tina gently took a step back. Her long and elegant finger came together and curled slightly in the shape of a hawk’s mouth. She struck heavily on the back of Darren’s palms, causing them to fall downwards and avoiding the attack.

" Demolition Palm!”

Just as his palm was deflected, Darren let out a growl. The force behind his palm turned ferocious as he continuously rained blows at Tina’s head. The sound of his hands breaking through the air was indeed impressive.

As she was being assaulted by the aggressive palm technique, Tina lightly frowned. She aligned two fingers together, and like a sword, she deftly bypassed Darren’s palms and stabbed towards his body, causing the latter to have no choice but to bring back his hands to defend.

On the stone platform, two figures intertwined as they fought vigorously while constantly exchanging blows with their palms and fingers. With help from Profound Qi, each blow was amplified, captivating the audience’s attention.

“Jaden, who do you think will win?” Mera nervously asked as she involuntarily tightened her tiny fists at the intense duel.

“Hard to say……”

Jaden hesitated before he finally shook his head. Darren has clearly mastered Demolition Palm as the force generated by his palm techniques were extremely aggressive and packed a huge punch. However, Tina did not lose out to the former. In fact, the martial art that she used was the yellow stage martial art, Sword of Fingers.

Even though that type of martial arts did not look formidable, if it was properly mastered, one’s fingers would become a sword. Therefore, even Darren did not dare to take a hit from her.

As such, it was very difficult to ascertain who would become the eventual victor. Nonetheless, in Jaden’s heart, he hoped that Tina would win……

While they spoke, the battle on the stone arena gradually intensified to a climax. Palms and fists collided, causing a series of deep sounds continuously rang out.

This exchange lasted for nearly ten minutes as the glow on their bodies burned brightly. Evidently, they had pushed the Profound Qi within their bodies to the maximum extent.

Just as the intensity of the glow reached its peak, the two of them took a step back in unison. Soon after, both of their palms suddenly reached out and collided together under the watchful gaze of the crowd.

“Bang”

An explosive bang sounded out on the platform as both of them were jolted apart by the impact. Both of their feets desperately tried to claw onto the platform, but in the end, both of them fell off at the same time…

After witnessing both of them fall off together, a commotion erupted in the training chambers. Evidently, no one was expecting this outcome…

“Haha, not bad, not bad at all…”

On his seat, the Crown Prince could not help but nod his head in satisfaction after he witnessed that Darren was able to go toe to toe with Tina in their spectacular duel. Victor, who was sitting beside him, let out a bright smile as he smugly turned to look at William.

“This match shall be judged as a draw. Since there are only four people left, if there are no objections, Tina and Darren will both take first place, whereas Jaden and Larc will be ranked as second and third respectively. Of course, if anyone still wants to compete and exchange pointers, please step forward now……”

Victor Shiba stood up and announced with a smile. At this juncture, the rankings for the Annual Clan Assessment had largely been decided and any further duels should likely make no difference.

Upon hearing Victor Shiba’s words, the crowd nodded in agreement.

“He is number one…”

Jaden frowned as he turned to look at Mera, only to discover that she had tightly gripped her tiny fists. Plastered on her delicate and tiny face, was a look of worry.

After hearing Victor Shiba’s announcement, Darren’s smile brightened. Turning his gaze towards Jaden and Mera, the corners of his mouth lifted into a sneer. Soon after, he took a step forward and prepared to announce his intention to fight Jaden, as they say: strike while the iron is hot.
