"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several marines hammered four wooden stakes into the ground. Using the stakes as supports, they quickly pulled up ropes, and in no time, a simple ring measuring ten meters on each side was completed.

All the marines at the training ground were drawn to the ring, and even a few instructors crossed their arms, watching with keen interest from a distance.

"Come on, Reinas!"

"Show the newbie what's up!"

The veterans cheered excitedly, wishing they could be the ones on stage. It was normal for instructors to take care of newcomers, but seeing them steal the spotlight every day naturally made the veterans unhappy.

In the center of the ring, the two faced each other less than a meter apart.

"My nickname is Iron Fist."

Reinas bent down to pick up a stone from the ground. After weighing it in his hand, he suddenly squeezed it tightly. In less than three seconds, the hard stone was crushed into pieces by his bare hands.

"Did you see that?"

Reinas released his grip, letting the fragments fall to the ground. "My grip strength exceeds one ton; I can easily crush stones and bones. That's where my nickname comes from."

"Impressive!"

Loya couldn't help but admire him sincerely.

Standing at only 187 cm, Loya felt like a child next to Reinas, who was over two meters tall. Reinas's fists were even bigger than Loya's head.

His towering physique represented immense strength; crushing stones was effortless for him, along with advantages in attack range and defense.

It was hard to imagine how powerful those giants who stood seven or eight meters tall were—especially those twenty-meter giants.

"Well then, let's get started!"

The two turned back to the edge of the ring.

Reinas spread his arms wide like a beast ready to pounce on its prey, grinning wickedly as he said, "Don't worry; it'll be over quickly. I won't waste much of your time."

"I think so too."

Loya raised his fists in readiness. Although he was at an absolute disadvantage in size, he felt no fear—instead, he felt something special.

He could win!

"Begin!"

"Oh oh oh!"

As Fullbody, acting as referee, finished speaking, Reinas roared and charged at Loya with arms wide open.

The ground seemed to tremble!

Loya wasn't intimidated and showed no sign of retreat; instead, he calmly focused on Reinas, his fists clenched tightly and poised for action.

"This feeling!"

It was completely different from facing Fullbody; Reinas felt more like a raging beast charging recklessly without any strategy.

There were flaws everywhere!

As they closed the distance to one meter, Reinas's thick arms lunged toward Loya in an attempt to grab him. If caught, Loya could have his spine crushed instantly.

"So slow."

Loya's gaze sharpened; he could see Reinas's attack trajectory clearly. He slid to the left effortlessly, avoiding Reinas's grasp with ease.

"Smack!"

His hands grasped nothing but air!

"What?!"

Reinas was shocked; he hadn't expected Loya to be so agile and easily dodge his lethal move.

Before Reinas could react or release his grip, Loya had already dashed to his left side.

"Straight Punch—Strike!"

With a wind-up punch carrying force behind it, Loya slammed it into Reinas's abdomen!

"Ugh!!!"

Reinas doubled over as his waist bent painfully; blood vessels burst in his eyes as he spat out a mouthful of stomach acid while clutching his abdomen and staggering backward.

"Reinas is hurt!"

The crowd erupted in disbelief.

No one expected that just one exchange would see the more muscular Reinas being pushed back by Loya's punch.

"Damn it!"

Reinas clutched his waist; intense pain made him break out in cold sweat. Thankfully Loya didn't press the attack; otherwise, he might have been defeated right there.

He moved his hand away to reveal a large bruise forming on his side.

This kid has some serious strength!

"Senior Reinas, can you continue?"

Loya looked at him intently with a smile and gestured playfully. "Don't worry; I won't waste much of your time."

"..."

Reinas's pupils constricted as rage ignited within him. He roared as he charged at Loya again. "You only hit me once! Don't get cocky! I'm going to crush you, you little brat!"

"If you can do it, then come at me!"

Loya responded coldly.

He finally understood why he had been completely powerless during his early sparring sessions with Fullbody.

His attack intentions were easily seen through; even a fool would know how to counter them. The clumsy fighting style that Reinas had used against him before was only effective against opponents with far inferior physical abilities.

"Spin—Jump—"

Loya danced lightly on his toes like he was breakdancing around Reinas while easily avoiding incoming hands.

Having secretly practiced dance for two months had made his body more flexible; he could even bend nearly ninety degrees at the waist—his attacking and dodging techniques became much more agile as well.

"Damn it! Why can't I catch him?!"

Reinas lunged for Loya again and again but missed by mere inches each time while continuously taking heavy punches from Loya. The string of defeats quickly changed his mindset.

Realizing he might lose made his attacks more frantic.

His entire body was full of openings!

"Senior Reinas! Losing your cool will only make you lose faster."

As Reinas's hand reached out again, Loya spun around to evade and swept down with his right foot against Reinas's ankle.

"Bang!"

Reinas lost balance and crashed heavily onto the ground. When he awkwardly lifted his head, he saw Loya extending a hand toward him.

"Thanks!"

Reinas's face flushed red as he took Loya's hand and stood up.

Final Round!

The two stood a meter apart again in fighting stances. This time felt different—the roles of challenger and challenged seemed to have switched places.

Reinas was drenched in sweat as he couldn't hold back any longer and swung out with his right hand.

"Smack!"

Just halfway through the swing of his right hand, Loya violently slapped it aside. Forced off course, Reinas's hand reached for empty air on his left side while his body tilted awkwardly.

In an instant, a storm of attacks rained down!

"Ha!"

Loya shouted loudly as he slapped down against Reinas's right arm before returning with powerful strikes—his backhand crashed heavily against Reinas's face followed immediately by another slap and then a punch!

Face, chest, abdomen!

From head to toe, dozens of punches and slaps rained down on Reinas without mercy—he retreated continuously without any chance to fight back.

When a heavy blow landed on Reinas's abdomen that sent him stumbling back several steps, Loya quickly followed up by spinning low to the ground—using both hands for leverage to propel himself upward while bringing both feet crashing down onto Reinas's chin!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking echoed clearly!

"Fly away!"

Reinas soared through the air before crashing over the ropes and landing flat on the sandy ground outside the ring.

K.O!

At that moment, silence fell over the training ground.

Watching as Reinas lost consciousness left all the marines in disbelief—they couldn't believe their eyes that their trusted "Iron Fist" had been so easily defeated by a newcomer.

Even Fullbody stood there dumbfounded; while he had been slacking off, what kind of training had Loya undergone to achieve such astonishing results today?

And this little brat even managed to use dance techniques during combat—how could he not have thought of that?

Suddenly, chills ran down the spines of all veterans present.

The newcomer's fiery gaze locked onto them like a predator!
