The opponent finally came to his senses and immediately channeled his positive energy to defend himself against Jasmine's attack.

However, it was already too late. His eyes widened in horror as her slim but powerful hand landed heavily on his chest.

Her violent strike sent him flying across the fighting ring, and a spurt of blood gushed out from his mouth. He landed on the other end of the fighting ring and writhed in pain, unable to stand up anymore. At that moment, the referee announced her victory.

Such a result was totally out of the audience's expectation. Instead of cheering for her, they fell into a heated discussion, and all of a sudden, Jasmine became the hot topic among the crowd.

Tom was equally surprised by her achievement. "I never thought that Miss Zhuo would be so powerful! Well, she's Brother Fade's disciple after all. She is formidable."

Lillian's lips puckered as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "What's so great about her performance? She tricked her opponent with her good looks and then snuck an attack on him. That's cheating. I told you she had no actual strength."

Her remarks were mean and filled with envy. Meanwhile, many of the spectators shook their heads as they expressed their pity.

"That guy was totally hypnotized by her beauty. It seemed like he had forgotten to defend himself. That's why he was easily defeated by only one strike. What a joke!"

"He couldn't even beat a woman. How can he call himself a martial artist?"

"Haha! That's easy for you to say. Would you be able to resist a beauty like Jasmine if it was you?"

"She's smart. She knows how to put her advantage to good use! However, she won't go far with these tricks."

Jasmine's tense facial expression finally turned into a grin after winning the first round of the competition. She left the fighting ring and waved at Fade.

He quickly rose from his seat and gave her a thumbs-up. "Good job! Keep it up. You will definitely win the upcoming rounds," he said as he clapped his hands.

The first round of the competition was over in no time. It was time for the second round.

Similarly, the participants who were qualified for the next round would draw lots, and two consecutive numbers would fight against each other.

This time, Jasmine got the number 16, which meant that it would be her turn to compete relatively quickly.

Soon, it was her turn. She was already waiting for her opponent on the stage before the host announced her name.

Contestant number 15 entered the fighting ring. Fade and Jasmine raised their eyebrows in surprise as they realized who the fighter was.

Jasmine's opponent for the second round was none other than Halge, one of Tom's friends.

"It's you!" She exclaimed.

Halge smirked as he looked her in the eye. He dipped his chin like a gentleman and greeted, "Miss Zhuo, we meet again!"

She tilted her chin and glared at him grimly. "Cut the crap and let's begin!"

Halge chuckled and shook his head. "Well, you see, Miss Zhuo, I've already reached the middle stage of Black Level, but you are only a beginner. You are definitely no match for me."

He smacked his lips and said, "I don't want to hurt you, Miss Zhuo. Thus, I have a suggestion."

"What is it?" She asked.

He smiled and replied, "It's simple. Believe it or not, I don't care about this competition at all. Thus, it doesn't matter whether I win this round or not."

"What are you trying to tell me?" Her brows knitted in confusion.

"What I am trying to tell you is that I am mesmerized by your beauty and elegance ever since the first time I laid my eyes on you, Miss Zhuo. After the day we first met, I couldn't sleep, for all I could think of was your beautiful face. I've fallen head over heels in love with you."

He ruffled his hair and continued, "I really can't bring myself to fight against the girl I admire. Hence, this is what I propose. I'll surrender and give up this fight if you agree to go on a dinner date with me after the Martial Arts Convention."

Halge's proposal left Jasmine flustered and speechless, and the crowd was equally shocked. The audience's chatter suddenly filled the arena.

"Holy sh*t, what is he doing? I can't believe this!"

"D*mn, so he's going to flunk the game?" "This guy is not qualified to participate in the

Martial Arts Convention. He doesn't even have the martial arts spirit. Get out of here!"

"I'm afraid that I have to disagree. As the saying goes, the youth yearns for the good maiden', thus I understand why this gentleman is doing this to woo the beautiful lady."

"That's right! He is merely sacrificing a chance to advance to the next round. Why would it matter if he can win the beauty's heart in exchange?"

"The other participants are fighting to their deaths. Meanwhile, he is hitting on a girl in the fighting ring. I like this guy."

Tom, who was watching from the crowd, was dumbfounded. His jaw dropped open, and he couldn't say a word.

Hertzel only frowned and shook his head. He didn't say anything too, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Beside Hertzel, Lillian was staring at Jasmine with hateful eyes as she clenched her fists and trembled in a fury. She gritted her teeth and said, "That vixen must have performed some kind of witchcraft on Halge. That's why he's losing his mind over her!"

"I'm against his actions. If the vixen could win like this, then she might as well sleep with him! What's

there to compete for then?"

Amid the audience's lively discussion, Halge stared at Jasmine with a smug grin on his face. In his opinion, his proposal was a win-win for her.

Besides, he believed that his skills were extraordinary and that he was a handsome gentleman. Therefore, he was worthy of such a beauty like her.

However, much to his dismay, her face darkened after listening to his proposal. She snorted, "I don't need you to admit defeat because you are no match for me."

Jasmine hurled her body upwards with a violent kick. Like an arrow from a bow, her graceful figure drew an arc in the air. Her positive energy spread out like numerous tendrils, and she aimed them directly at Halge.

He was caught off guard. His face darkened as he expressed his displeasure, "Jasmine Zhuo, I gave you a chance, but you are an ungrateful wretch. Now, don't blame me for hurting you."

With a snort, he turned his positive energy into a giant ax and slashed at her.

His strike was impressive and extremely violent. If she was to be struck by him, she would definitely suffer serious injuries.

The crowd gasped in horror as they witnessed such a brutal attack. Some of them gaped at Halge's strength, while others were screaming in fear for Jasmine.

Lillian was probably the only one with an excited expression on her face. She bared her teeth and chanted, "Kill her. Kill that vixen."

"Miss Zhuo, this is your last chance. Once I attack, you won't have a second chance." Halge didn't give up.

She ignored his threats. She leapt nimbly in the fighting ring, and her elegant body swayed in rhythm as if she was dancing. Her eyes glinted as Halge charged towards her with his huge ax, and she stretched out her arms.

Streams of positive energy sprang upwards from her body like twigs and vines, and they wrapped around Halge's positive energy ax, immobilizing him.

"This, how could you..." Halge gathered his positive energy and attempted to break away from the vines. However, it didn't work at all. It was as if his energy had hit a gummy bear; it bounced off directly from hers.
