There was a bluish glint in his brown eyes, and he was a head taller than Kai, who was already taller than the men of his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai didn't use Selfless Breathing Art. Nor did he take out his Items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, Kai decided to gauge Hadoken's powers and the source of his confidence that had let him proclaim those words so openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone could see the reason for Kai's slow walk, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch! He's just trying to be mysterious...\" the butt-slapped female tsked, sneering at Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to see Mr. Hadoken sending him flying...\" another female Contestant whispered under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai frowned as he entered the distance of 20 ft away from Hadoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still couldn't see any change in the expression on the man's face. Even his eyes were shut as if he couldn't have cared less about Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was blatant disdain. Nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ProtectorBlade Singerstill had her bowl of tea in her hands, seeping it now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ContestantAloofwas standing to Blade Singer's left, but his eyes were just lost, planted on the distant sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Moraine's brows were pressed together, and the more Red approached Hadoken, the deeper her frown became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know why he had not taken out his swords or had used those bloody flames, but she could guess the reasoning behind his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing that made her frown wasn't Kai's gait, but a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moraine couldn't help but think that there was something more to Red's actions, something vile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, he wasn't a nobody, despite having a weaker appearance and being not a well-known Contestant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Red wasn't her match, he was at least a Mid-level 5th-floor Contestant and had Items potent enough to pose a threat to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that there was a major Organization behind him, supporting his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was the image of a speckle of blood point engraved in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moraine didn't know how Red had avoided her slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was the matter ofSling Ring— a custom-made Item only available to Order's Contestants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had collected info on Red later, and couldn't help but think that his lecherous appearance just didn't match the decisive battle experience he had shown during their fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Moraine, Red was becoming a greater mystery every time she met him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be wrong to say that she was truly interested in knowing more about him and his origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, despite knowing that Hadoken's actions were wrong and not according to what they had decided, she was among those who were looking forward to this challenge the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even be said that she had purposefully incited Hadoken for her selfish purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Red entered the 15 ft mark, even her heartbeat sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then Hadoken opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then Kai stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai was just about to take another step when he felt as if the entire world was squeezing against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the space, but even the very earth felt like a quagmire, his feet getting pulled deeper and deeper, making him rooted to his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the Contestants could see the changes. Nor could they feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Kai, from the moment Hadoken had opened his eyes, everything had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see Hadoken's gaze becoming profound and felt himself losing and drowning in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that Kai could sense was an ethereal pressure generating out of Hadoken, making him feel as if the very air had thickened, resisting his advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Mana churned around him, and even the little Breath around him pulsed along with his breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai took a step, and then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadoken's mocking smile had gone, but there his gaze was still indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the fuck is this?!Kai cursed, feeling as if he was facing a storm.How's he doing it? It's not Telekinesis, I can tell. I don't think it's a Skill, either. An Ability? Tch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh!\" Kai let out a shout and then took several steps in succession, closing the distance between him and Hadoken to a mere 10 ft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then Hadoken opened his mouth after a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humph!\" he snorted, eying Kai's trembling figure. \"Your attempt is pathetic! Not even a ton of magical flesh can make one strong. Let me show you what true strength is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadoken's arms were crossed over his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he lifted his right hand sluggishly and opened his fist, his fingers uncurling, his palm facing Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai was just about to react when Hadoken's pupils narrowed with abang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All hell went loose, then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monstrous shiver ran down Kai's spine, his eyes widened, and a heart-palpating cold bit into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cold differed from the true cold, its meaning was more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few knew this cold, and the Contestants were among them, for they all had experienced it in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the cold of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fear of losing one's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai couldn't put his lifted foot down, and his eyes couldn't turn away from Hadoken's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he looked at it, the bigger that palm became, as if in the next moment, it would replace the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadoken's command echoed in Kai's ears like a judgment, and then the 6th-floor Contestant flicked his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai's figure became a straw in a storm and got flung away with a boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hit the ground even farther than the original 100 ft, rolled like a twig for many dozens of feet, and only then came to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd burst into a fit of mocking laughter and Moraine's gaze deepened as she looked at Hadoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai coughed out a mouthful of blood, noticed nearly a fourth of his HP vanishing, and cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever Hadoken had used, it had felt like a train had hit him face-front, and there was no avoiding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kai had even created a shield of magic, but even that had served no purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even resisting that blow with Telekinesis had worked, leaving Kai truly at the mercy of his innate Defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai gritted his teeth and pushed himself to his feet, trembling all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected Hadoken to be strong, but that he wouldn't be able to even resist his powers was something truly out of the imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! What an idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serve him right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hadoken didn't even touch him, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go home and take a shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mockery thrown at Kai entered one ear and passed from another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face became hard, and his gaze even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems, Kai thought,I will have to put more effort if I am to force other Protectors to act.
