Chapter 114


    Morgan and the others stood by the side and watched. They looked contented. They were already


    getting old and had contributed their entire lives to martial arts. Now that they managed to witness the


    new generation rising, they felt happy and satisfied. This was especially true when they noticed how


    talented the new generation was. They were extremely d that the new generation was able to work


    so well together.

    Jonathan and Polly followed Stephen and Hector out of the building.


    After that, Donovan drove the four of them in his car.


    They started talking among each other. Stephen had a lot of fight within him. He was a sharp and


    brilliant young man. On the other hand, Hector was the epitome of a humble gentleman.


    As they were conversing, Stephen asked Jonathan, “Master Lawson, may I know which type of martial


    arts you specialize in?”


    Jonathan smiled. “It feels weird to hear you address me that way. I''m only twenty-four years old. What


    about you, Stephen?” he asked.


    Thetter responded with a smile, “I''m twenty-nine. Just call me Stephen.”


    “Nice to meet you, Stephen,” Jonathan greeted.


    After that, the group soon realized that Hector was twenty-seven. He was younger than Polly by one


    year.


    Among the four of them, Jonathan was the youngest. Stephen was the oldest, but he acted like he was


    the youngest with how hyperactive he was.


    He looked at Jonathan and asked, “So, Jonathan, you haven''t told us about your martial arts style.”


    “To be honest, I''m not very sure myself. My master never talked to me about it. The first technique he


    taught me was the foundation for Spirit Fist. After that, I learned Shadow Punch. Once I mastered that,


    the next techniques I learned became moreplicated. I really don''t have a specific style,” Jonathan


    answered.


    This piqued the interest of Stephen and Hector. “You know Spirit Fist too? We should spar together


    sometime,” Stephen replied. However, Jonathan shook his head. “My Spirit Fist isn''t like yours. Mine is


    mixed. It can''tpare to your original Spirit Fist.”


    Stephenughed loudly. “So what? It doesn''t matter. We can still spar together. We should not be like


    the older generation, who liked to keep their abilities hidden. It is only when we interact that our skills


    can be sharpened.”


    Hector nodded. “That''s right.” He then looked at Jonathan and added, “If you have any questions about


    Shadow Punch, feel free to send them my way. I will be happy to help.”


    “Thanks, Hector,” Jonathan responded happily.


    Hector shed him a smile. “Don''t mention it.”


    At that moment, it was already four in the afternoon. The sun was still shining brightly.


    The streets in Faike were bustling, and roads were filled with cars and crowds.


    The four of them found a restaurant that was more isted and went inside. Their meat dishes and


    wine were unique and tasty.


    In a private room on the second floor, the four young people sat down at a table.


    The drinks came first, along with some appetizers. Jonathan took the bottle of wine and said, “Since I''m


    the youngest here, let me pour this for you guys.” Upon speaking, he poured everyone a ss of wine


    before filling his own ss. He then raised it and announced, “Let''s have a toast.”


    The other three raised their sses and cheered.


    Following that, they engaged in casual conversations.


    “Fate really is a funny thing. It was as if Hector and I had been friends for a long time when we first met.


    And when I met Jonathan and Polly, we got along so well. However, I don''t think I will be able to get


    along well with Mason from Horbah. He always had a cold expression, like someone had killed his dog


    and set it on fire. Also, the Little Martial Sage, Lucian, looks polite on the outside, but in fact, he looks


    down on everyone deep down. He''s too prideful,” Stephen said.


    Jonathan chuckled at his words. “We really do hit it off like old friends.”


    “Hit it off? What do you mean?” Stephen asked with a look of confusion.


    Hector guffawed. “Are you illiterate, Stephen? This means that we get along very well. There are some


    out there who, although having known each other for years, are still awkward with each other.”


    Stephen instantly understood. He took a sip of wine and looked at Hector in mock despise. “D*mn.


    We''re all fighters anyway. There''s no need to be so studious!”


    Hector, Jonathan, and Polly startedughing at Stephen''s reaction.


    “Since we are about to enter Golden Sword Tournament, I have a suggestion. Let''s exchange our


    trump cards. This way, we will be able to have a better gauge of our chances of winning. Of course, to


    prove that I have no ill intentions, I''ll go first,” Stephen suggested.


    The other three''s expressions slightly changed. All martial artists relied heavily on their trump cards.


    Stephen probably did not think this through when he suggested it. However, this showed how much of


    a straightforward person he was.


    People like that were the best kind to be friends with.


    Of course, there was always a possibility that Stephen was secretly scheming for other people to reveal


    their trump cards.


    Jonathan exchanged nces with Polly before he smiled. “I''m okay with that.”


    Polly quickly agreed, “Me too.”


    Seeing how the other two had already agreed, it was obvious that Hector would go along with it too.


    Stephen then stood up and backed away from the table. “I have one ultimate move. I call it “Mongrel


    Attack.” I know it doesn''t sound good, but it''s actually pretty useful. What happens is that I can kick


    before anyone can anticipate it. It is sudden and powerful. Look closely.”


    Before the rest could focus on Stephen, all they saw was him staying still before he suddenly kicked his


    leg out.


    It happened in a split second. The attack was precise and powerful.


    It really was an invisible kick. That move would definitely take his opponent by surprise.


    Jonathan, Polly, and Hector were people who knew their stuff. Therefore, they knew that Stephen''s


    move was incredible.


    Soon after, Stephen taught them how to execute the move.


    As the others were all professionals, they learned the technique in no time.


    Jonathan was next. “Mine was taught to me by my master. I''ve killed many people just by this


    technique alone. I''ve also saved myself from the brink of death with it as well. This technique is called


    ''Antelope Rhythm.''“


    He then disyed it to them.


    Following that, the trio''s eyes sparkled as they gasped in awe.


    Jonathan then taught them the technique as well.


    However, as Antelope Rhythm was an agile movement, it would take the others more than an hour just


    to master it.


    However, they all knew the advantage of using it.


    Once Jonathan was done, Polly was next to speak up. “Mine is called ''Satin Palm.''“ She briefly paused


    before looking at Jonathan. “Jonathan, attack me with your Dragon w.”


    Jonathan instantly understood that she wanted to show her technique. He agreed and attacked with all


    his might. His body moved as quick as lightning, and his Dragon w shed through the air, forming


    sharp winds that aimed for Polly. All of his attacks headed straight toward Polly''s face.


    Yet, thetter was unfazed by what was going on. All she did was put up her hand and aim for


    Jonathan''s Dragon w.


    Just as the two of them were about to sh against each other, Polly''s wrist twisted, and her palm


    turned.


    The sudden change of her hand movements was ingenious. At one point, it looked like a snake. In the


    next second, it resembled a loach. Her muscles shrunk to an unbelievable scale and slithered under


    Jonathan''s fingernails.


    The moment she slithered into the minuscule gap between the nails and the skin, her fingers suddenly


    curled, resembling a snake''s deadly tongue.


    If her fingers dug into Jonathan''s Dragon w, his hand would definitely be broken.


    Jonathan gasped in shock. He never expected this from Polly. He quickly moved away and stopped


    using Dragon w. Instead, he threw a punch to stop Polly''s Satin Palm.


    However, Polly smiled and retracted her hand before he could execute that.


    Jonathan staggered backward and heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that if it were not for Polly having


    mercy on him, he would not be able to counter her attacks at all. On the contrary, Polly could have left


    a few wounds on his fists.


    Just one ssh of blood, and all of his vitality would be lost. If that happened, the more violent his


    attacks became, the more blood would be lost.


    Therefore, there was no way one could be stronger after breaking a bone. It was because all of


    the spirit has dissipated.


    It was a no-brainer that Polly''s Satin Palm was incredibly powerful.


    The three techniques that were shown so far were invisible killers. So far, they managed to learn a lot


    from each other.


    Soon, Jonathan, Hector, and Stephen learned the basics of Satin Palm, although it would take them


    more time to master it.


    After all, all those killer techniques had been practiced for many years in order to master them.


    Thest person was Hector.


    “Mine is called ''Strike Back.'' This is a technique that is useful for storing energy when facing terrible


    circumstances. When the enemy thinks that they are winning, I will retreat and store more energy as I


    can. And then, out of a sudden, I will strike back and defeat the opponent,” Hector exined.


    He then demonstrated it to them.


    Slowly and in detail, he showed the trio how he stored his energy. It did look like he was being forced to


    retreat. Though, only a trained professional could tell that his vitality was like an arrow being pulled


    back, ready to shoot forward at any moment. Finally, when there was nowhere else to run, Hector


    suddenly moved and attacked furiously.


    His attacks were strong and heavy.


    At that moment, the others held their breath as they witnessed the incredible technique.


    Hector looked like he had morphed into an ancient warrior at that instant. That technique really was the


    most powerful one out there.


    “Amazing!” Jonathan couldn''t help but praise.


    With that, Hector started exining his technique to them.


    After the four of them shared their techniques, they felt closer as friends, for they had told each other


    the most important thing that they kept close to their hearts.


    “To me, although being a spiritual fighter is important, brotherhood is more important. If we end up


    against each other in the tournament, let''s not kill each other. We will stop the fight once one of us can


    no longer continue,” Stephen said.


    If it were just a few hours before, all of them would do anything to win. Now that they had all be


    friends, there was no way they would kill each other.


    Jonathan smiled and responded, “Of course.”


    Both Polly and Hector agreed as well.


    The four of them were skilled spiritual fighters. Their personalities also blended well together.


    Therefore, they felt veryfortable in each other''s presence.
