Chapter 156: Explosive Talismans (1/2)

People started gathering just by the ruckus that was being made. Some recognized Huo Tu, some recognized Alex, some just came to watch what the hub hub was about.

Knowing that a core disciple had registered a fight with an inner sect disciple, many other people started getting called by their friends watching the fight too.

”What's the point? It's not like the inner sect disciple is going to win,” someone said.

”Yeah, but that's not the point. It's not every day you see a core disciple fight. Don't you guys want to see it?” someone else said.

”You sound like you've never seen Huo Tu fight. You must be quite new here then,” another person spoke.

”Huh? does he fight violently or something? Since he is a core disciple, he must be really good right?” the previous person asked.

”Haha, quite the opposite actually. Just watch, you might be surprised by his fighting method,” the person spoke once more.

On the stage, Alex heard the person speak. 'Not good at fighting? Does he have a different fighting method?' he wondered. He took out his Steel Sword for this fight. This fight was way out of his league, and he was not going to bother limiting his abilities only to get badly hurt in this fight.

He looked around the stage. It was around 3 PM and the only shadow he could see was either his own or the opponent's. 'I can't use it then,' he thought. 'Well, it's the last option either way.'

He got into a fighting stance, waiting for his opponent to take out his weapon as well, but he never did.

”FIGHT!” the Elder started the match.

Alex got cautious. His opponent was just standing there with a smile on his face. ”Come,” Huo Tu gestured with his hand, inviting Alex to attack him.

'Is he not scared of my attack?' Alex wondered. 'Whatever.' He dashed straight to the front and swung his sword. Dark lines appeared on Huo Tu's skin as he placed his single hand forward to block the blade.

CLANK

As if he just hit Iron, Alex's hand shook from the rebound damage. 'He knows Jade Skin? How strong is his hand?' Alex thought in pure shock. Huo Tu smiled in contempt when he saw the shock on Alex's face.

”Now you're going to get it,” Huo Tu said as he tried to punch back. However, Alex was fast and managed to run out of the attack range in good time. Huo Tu's face got serious for a second when he realized Alex was faster than him.

Then he started to get angry. He started to run towards Alex with his fat body and tried to punch him once more. However, Alex was too fast for him and managed to get out of his way.

'Why is he so slow? Does he not know any movement techniques?' Alex wondered. If that was the case, then there was still hope for him. Alex started to run around the stage.
