Chapter 100: The Unnamed Technique (1/2)

”Match, Start!”

The moment the match started, Jake found himself facing Cheyenne, who had begun closing the gap between them.

Jake blank stared at her, 'It seemed that she has also employed a tactic.'

He went into stance and blitzed in a lightning speed at her, trying to cut her off her pace.

The two met and caused a shockwave that instantly created a crate in the middle of the stage.

The shockwave went further to blow the crowd deep into their seats, but stopped at that, due to a lack of further momentum.

When the scared crowd opened their eyes, they saw what actually caused the shockwaves.

It was the clash between Jake's bracers and Cheyenne's light spear.

Jake distanced himself after the attack.

He had gone a full one hundred and twenty percent(120%) there just to negate Cheyenne's force.

Despite, his new bracers absorbing the impact, his arms still vibrated rigorously.

That was just how strong Cheyenne's full strength was.

Jake didn't standstill. He zoomed behind Cheyenne and landed a dropkick, but the attack didn't meet.

Instead, Cheyenne blocked it with her spear and took a shot at him.

Her spear snaked its way to Jake's chest and missed it.

She thought something was off with her aim, but later realized that Jake was not more in front of her.

Following her instinct, she channeled her [Wind Element] and rampantly blew it in every direction, blasting away Jake who had managed to sneak up on her.

Jake fell on the stage, he waited for Cheyenne to land her attack on him, but Cheyenne never came.

When he stood up, he saw his opponent charging her energy. Without no one telling him, he knew that she was preparing an attack.

So, Jake followed suit.

He murmured to himself, ”200%.”

Infusing all his energy in his body, his lean muscles, while hiding in his clothes, became more outlined and firmer.

Swiftly, he entered a special stance and readied himself for his opponents.

After Cheyenne was done, she murmured the familiar words, ”[Sky Mortal]!”

The colorless winds descended on her body, and once again, Cheyenne showed her full strength to the world.

She took all the eyes of the crowd as she dashed as fast as lightning to her opponent, but Jake already predicted that and did the same.

The action from the two seemed to be a carbon copy of the previous one but heightened by an insanely larger scale.

*Boom* *Boom*

Soundwaves were generated as Jake got closer to Cheyenne. Previously, he had learned how to control the soundwaves, but couldn't do the same for his two hundred percent(200%) speed.

The closer and closer he got to Cheyenne, the more he realized that she was just a little bit slower than him at her full speed.

However, all of that didn't matter as he had devised a plan against her.

When the two met and Cheyenne's tornado-like wind pierced his face, Jake wasted no time, in fear of Cheyenne's incredible reflex, and did something strange.

He converted his speed and threw out a punch with his already-built momentum.

The punch went as he planned and hit Cheyenne's stomach, but it did not do any damage to her.

It was exactly as Jake planned, which made him smile inwardly.

In the next moment, Jake withdrew back his right fist, and Cheyenne's body stuck to it, following his right fist back.

Before Cheyenne could react to this ”sorcery”, Jake transferred his momentum to his left fist and mercilessly punched her in the guts.

His right fist got free, but this time, it was his left fist that stuck to Cheyenne's bleeding stomach.

Following the routine, Jake withdrew his left fist, transferred his momentum to his right fist, and blew Cheyenne's guts again.

He repeated this strange technique over and over again until he got weak and Cheyenne used her hand to mysteriously catapult Jake away.

Afterward, Cheyenne fell on her knees and clutched her stomach.

Only she knew the strength behind Jake's punches, but the crowd could catch a glimpse of that by spotting the sight of blood Cheyenne continuously coughed out from her mouth and stomach.

With Cheyenne badly beaten up, Jake knew it was his chance to end the match, but he was too weak currently and focused on recharging his [Spirit Droplets].

It couldn't be helped as what he did was overly taxing to the body and required a lot of [Spirit Essence] to keep up the momentum.

What Jake did was something he had learned in his previous world, but rarely did.

It was an unnamed technique that required the user to have attained a very fast speed.

The technique focused on the user manipulating the momentary friction that occurs when a punch contacts an object.

The said friction is so fast that it disappears almost instantly. So, what the user had to do was, with his speed, grab the friction and forcefully drag it back, making the user's fist stick with the object.

Then, the user would need to convert the momentum of the first punch and transfer it to his/her other hand for an attack.
