While speaking, the man shook his head slightly and looked at Joey who was rushing straight at him. After a pause, he reached out his right hand and began to move. Perhaps he did those actions to show his great strength, or to show his compassion for women.

However, upon facing Joey's fierce attack, he stood rooted to the ground. He stretched out his right hand, and placed his left hand behind his back.

He smiled and said faintly, "Miss Joey, sorry to offend you."

While speaking, he slapped his right hand forward.

At this moment, the audience began to talk about it.

Someone praised the man's chivalrous act. He knew how to be kind to women, so he didn't use that much strength on Joey.

However, some people thought he was being too arrogant. In the arena, if you didn't go all out, you definitely couldn't go far.

Of course, there were a lot of male audience members who were dissatisfied with the man's behavior and began to curse him out.

On the other hand, among the contestants, quite a number of them were discussing and commenting excitedly at this moment. Some of them were quite envious of the man.

"It's a great opportunity for him to show off since he is fighting against Joey!" One of the contestants stated.

"That's right. Regardless of the outcome, to be able to enter the arena on such an occasion indicated that he is very lucky!"

Of course, some people expressed different opinions. "Isn't he too confident? Since Joey has been able to advance to this stage, she must be strong."

"He's ranked 12th, so he has the right to be confident."

"Even if Joey's strength is beyond our expectation, it doesn't matter even if he lost in the first move.

He can go all out after that."

Everyone was discussing passionately. Earlias, Carney, and the other people who were ranked close to the top had also gathered into a small group and started to discuss the matches.

Carney seemed to be uninterested in the battle going on on the stage. He yawned and said, "It's boring. End it quickly. Let me see how Fade will be defeated!"

Earlias smiled as he replied, "Carney, there's no need to be so anxious. The show will be more pleasant when you savor it slowly."

After saying that, he looked at the few people around him. Monk Jaewoo put his palms together and remained expressionless. Earlias was already used to his expression. Without saying anything, his gaze shifted and landed on Tiger. He asked, "Mr. Zhao, what do you think of this match?"

Tiger came from the army and was ranked second on the list among the players. He was also one of the strongest competitors.

Earlias and Carney had attempted to build a closer relationship with Tiger before, but he had always been cold and distant. He did not want to talk too much, so the relationship between them could only be considered average.

Now, Earlias had taken the initiative to speak to him. It could be considered as another attempt to befriend him.

Tiger kept a straight face as usual. Looking at the situation on the ring, he remarked seriously, "I'm not sure about Contestant 12." "Oh?"

The people standing beside Earlies turned to Tiger curiously.

Carney then asked, "Mr. Zhao, do you think that Joey will win?"

Tiger had a serious expression on his face as he continued, "I don't know who will win, but the attitude of No. 12 is the first reason he will lose. This is the arena, the place to go all out to fight for victory. He speaks too much nonsense, and is too arrogant. He doesn't take the arena seriously at all."

"He would be unqualified to be my teammate," he continued as a matter of fact.

After a clean cut judgment, he shut his mouth and continued to watch the fight in the arena without continuing.

Earlias rolled his eyes and did not say anything.

However, Carney curled his lips and did not take Tiger's words seriously. He remarked, "Hmm, it's the same old-fashioned saying in the army. It's boring."

Bella stood aside and eased the atmosphere by saying, "Look, they have started fighting. The result should come out soon."

With her words, everyone's attention was once again focused on the arena.

At this moment, Joey stood right before her

opponent.

With a smile on his face full of confidence, No. 12 slapped his right hand out.

With a loud "boom", the two people's attacks collided.

Then, something surprising happened.

The expression on No. 12's face changed drastically. His confident smile was replaced with a look of panic, and following Joey's attack, it turned into pain.

The power of her attack was completely beyond his expectations.

It was impossible for him to defend against the terrifyingly strong power of her attack with one hand. His entire body was struck by an enormous force, and he was about to be sent flying out of the ring. "You..." He cried out in panic. He then gritted his teeth and activated the aura of his positive energy, trying to block Joey's attack and flip the situation around.

However, she shot a stream of energy forward with her left hand and aimed it at his abdomen.

No. 12, who had just activated his positive energy and was ready to fight back, was immediately interrupted by this. His body instantly lost control, and he was no longer able to withstand her attacks. His body was sent flying out of the arena.

In the end, he smashed onto the ground with a loud boom.

No. 12 climbed up from the ground with anger written all over his face. He stared at Joey, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward. He was ready to fight. "How dare you..."

However, he was stopped by the referee who said in a cold voice, "You've lost. Back off!"

No. 12 was infuriated. He pushed the referee away and continued to rush forward. At the same time, he roared, "I didn't lose. It's her who schemed against me. I didn't lose. I still have to fight. I'm going to..." This situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

At this moment, on the podium, a loud shout was heard. Baldrick stood up and shouted, "Back off!"

This shout, full of energy, shocked everyone. No. 12 flinched, and he lowered his gaze. He bit his lip, unwilling to give up.

On the podium, Baldrick scolded loudly with a serious expression, "You arrogant, ignorant, and self-righteous one who looks down on your opponents and can't afford to lose. You are not qualified to take part in the preliminaries, and you are not worthy of representing our country to join the International Youth Martial Arts Competition. Get lost!"

No. 12's expression immediately fell as his entire body trembled; he was unable to look up.

At this time, at the back of the VIP seats, a middle-aged man jumped out and his face was filled with anger. He shouted at No. 12, "Why are you still standing there? Don't you feel ashamed? Get out!" Then, the middle-aged man left with him.

On the podium, Baldrick looked at the rest of the contestants. With a serious voice, he shouted coldly, "If you don't want to have a serious fight and hold the wrong mentality in the arena, leave now. Don't embarrass yourselves later."
