Rise Of The Dragon Emperor-Chapter 122 Round 1 .... Fight!

On the day of the tournament , there were two arenas prepared inside Avalon where fights were to be held simultaneously .

The arena where the internal selections were held was the arena for group A participants , whereas another arena that could seat over 120,000 spectators hosted group B fights.

This sort of setting put the contestant’s backup teams to a test , as while there were two participants coming from each kingdom , not everyone was equipped with two teams to support both fighters.

Early on the teams had to make a choice as to back-up which fighter and in a tournament where there would be 6 matches in a single day , without the proper backup crew that consisted of a strategy analyser , a coach , a healer , a physician and a coordinator , the probability of a contestant winning would massively decrease.

A total 42 participants were present in each block and each contestant were to fight every other contestants for 6 matches a day for the whole week.

Such a gruesome schedule meant that there would be hardly 20-30 minutes rest between each Match and hence very little time for contestants to properly analyse the strengths and weaknesses of their enemies .

Each arena would have 5 fighting platform , 1 through 5 , with 5 fights ongoing simultaneously at all times.

Should a fight not end within a 30 minutes time limit it would be declared as a draw , and both contestants would get one point.

*******.

Ronan’s team saw him backed by general Sam as his coach and strategist , a medical doctor from the palace as his healer , grandmother Luna as his physician and coordinator and principal chanakya as his coach.

Ronan got a big surprise when chanakya showed up for him at the fight morning for his warmup , as the principal of the Avalon academy looked extremely happy and proud to see Ronan’s progress on the path of a warrior.

Ronan too felt happy to have such a capable coach in his corner , as the two spent very little time catching up before Ronan had to prepare his psyche for the match.

Ronan’s number was number 1 in the group A , and his very first fight was with number 8 , a disciple of the ‘ Raging winds ‘ sect , a wind elemental user whose level was 92.

Although he was not an ascended level warrior , he was a 4 star talent who had managed to clutch a slot for this tournament at age 17 and 9 months with this being his big chance to get the ginseng and break into the ascended ranks before he turned 18.

His sect apparently offered core disciple position to any talent that could break past the level 100 barrier before age 18 and with him being so close he was desperate to reach the threshold with only 3 months time before his birthday.

Alongside Ronan , number 2-3-4-5 also had their matches on their respective stages , however with Ronan taking the stage first , the entire crowd went electric as the support for the hometown prince was naturally overwhelming.

” Ronan ! Ronan ! Ronan ! …. “.

His name was chanted loudly as his eyes were laser focused on his opponent as he loosened his joints by throwing loose punches in the air.

Ronan stared into the eyes of the enemy and tried to figure him out . However he could notice the facial twitching and the stiff muscle movement of his opponent as he realised that the enemy was a weakling who felt pressured by the atmosphere.

Instantly Ronan lost a lot of respect for his opponent , as he made up his mind to end the fight early .

Nonetheless the enemy decided that he would trash talk Ronan , eventhough he himself was feeling nervous as he thought that he could bully the 13 y/o Ronan by getting in his head.

The wind user said ” You are dead kid …. no matter how much they chant your name , you are not getting past me .

I need that ginseng more than you can ever imagine , and nobody will stop me from getting it “.

Ronan visibly took a yawn as he cleaned his ear , clearly disinterested in the enemy’s trash talk as his chill attitude annoyed the hell out of his opponent.

” Oye , listen to me , I’m talking to you punk , oye , tch tch “.

No matter how much he tried to converse with Ronan he paid him no heed as after a while the audience started to mock him for his failed antics.

They openly laughed at him , while calling him stupid , as he lashed out at the crowd to give him some respect , however his reaction only feulled their fun to annoy him.

At this point , Ronan lost all respect for his opponent as the other party was clearly here for the ginseng and nothing else , while also being a clown who was all talk and no show.

As the refree arrived to signal the start of the fight , the opponent said

” Be prepared kid , I’ll one shot you and shut this damn crowd up “.

Ronan still showed no signs of being affected at all as he coldly stared down his enemy.

The refree came to the centre and called both fighters to shake hands , however both Ronan and his opponent refused to do so as the refree was forced to skip that part and say

” Don’t be too brutal , don’t kill anyone , fight fair , no weapons allowed , go back to your corners on my count , obey me at all times and respect my decision .

alright go now “.

Ronan returned to his corner as he nodded towards general Sam and principal chanakya as he mumbled slowly ” I end this in 3 seconds … “.

When general Sam picked up on Ronan’s intentions he gave him a huge smile , while principal chanakya stared at the kid wide eyed.

The strategy in the first fight was to hide Ronan’s true strength deeply so that when facing stronger opponents he could surprise them with his true power. However apparently moments before the fight Ronan had decided to end it in 3 seconds announcing to the world that he was in a league of his own.

Chanakya wanted to protest , however Ronan gave him no chance , just as the refree signalled the start of the match he immediately started to run at a crazy speed as he closed the distance in to his enemy.

The opponent was bewildered , he had planned to open with a bang and use his strongest wind attack right from the get-go to put Ronan on the backfoot , however before he could even start chanting the spell properly Ronan came threateningly close to him as his eyes could only perceive him as a flash of lightning.

Reflexively blocking Ronan’s incoming strike he held up his arms in a cross position so that Ronan would not hit his face , however when the impact of Ronan’s punch finally landed , there was no defending against his strength at all as both his arm bones shattered instantly as his guard was blown apart and the punch connected to his face.

BAM!

Ronan used Lightning fists and the attack was so powerful that it not only broke both the arms of his opponent but also his lower jaw as he was sent flying into the wall 20 meters away after being knocked out unconscious by a single punch.

3 seconds , that was all that it took to Ronan to seal the victory for round one as the fight ended before it even properly started.

When the refree and the crowd finally realised that Ronan had won , the cheers were deafening , while the various sect leaders , coaches and strategists looked at Ronan as if he was a monster as instantly he came under everyone’s radar to look out for.

Ronan’s beating of his enemy was so brutal that it was unlikely that he would be able to continue any further in this competition , as with one punch alone he had eliminated one contestant from the total tally , bringing the amount of participants down to 41.

As the refree raised his hand in victory , Ronan showed no emotions of joy or happiness on his face as he politely bowed at his opponent before leaving the arena to join this team.

Just like that , Ronan had won the first match of the tournament and now had 59 minutes of freetime before his second one was scheduled.

As he sat with chanakya who had a headache trying to explain him the importance of laying low , grandmother Luna was extremely chirpy and happy at her grandsons victory.

With one coaxing him and pampering , while the other scolding him , Ronan spent the next 20 minutes emptying his mind as he observed whatever fight he felt was interesting to see.

After 30 minutes had passed he asked grandmother Luna ” What about big brother Percy? , what happened in his fight? “.
