Chapter 89: Attack Power
"YEAH!!!!"
Max Fury's acceptance to the Steel Cage Match challenge made the fans more than excited. Now, it was as if they couldn't wait for that day to come...
Many were visibly impatient!
With his acceptance given, Max Fury signed the papers as well, accepting all terms including the no-life-threatening aspect.
Tristan did the same, and his face seemed to have gained some brightness after Max Fury accepted the Steel Cage Match challenge.
Now, the match would no longer be a normal One Fall action... There would be a wall of steel barricade on every side of the ring, just like the match between Jay D and Andrew Jack.
This was the first time he would be participating in a steel cage match, but Max Fury didn't panic. The Pro Wrestling System had told him not to fear...
After all, truly, it was the system that had told him to accept the challenge.
So, why would he be afraid?
After the contract signing was done, both men were asked to exchange a handshake, which they did... Well, it was only for handshaking sake.
Arnold left the ring for the Alpha and walked out of the arena. Now that the difficulty of this great upcoming match had doubled, he needed to double his preparations.
"What a match would it be! What a battle would it be! In two weeks, the Grindhouse Wrestling arena would be set ablaze!"
"It would be Grindhouse Alpha Champion Tristan Black versus Grindhouse Omega Champion Max Fury... In a Winner Takes All Match!!!" The commentators expressed their excitement with their job.
When he was out of the arena, he went straight ahead to his room. Arnold had no choice but to relax.
"He must be crazy to think that a Steel Cage Match is my weakness. It might be my first time, but I would surely prevail!" Arnold believed himself.
[You are right, host. He considered that you have never battled in a steel cage before, so he decided to use that advantage.]
"That's not an advantage. That's foolishness!" Arnold shook his head in disdain. "I guess he doesn't know who I am."
Dark glints enveloped his eyes.
[You need to take more time practicing your moves and improving your escape skills. Probably, Tristan might just have a terrifying plan.]
"I wouldn't escape. I would confront him face-to-face from the very beginning to the end and defeat him. Maybe he would be the one trying to escape at the end," Arnold scoffed.
[Well, then there is a lot to do if you really want to fight and defeat him with a pin. Great choice, Max Fury.]
"I would always prepare for every match, this one of all wouldn't be an exception," Arnold, with a fierce gaze, stood up and left his room.
On the way through the alleyway, he met Mark.
"Lila, where is she?" Arnold quickly asked.
"She sustained a slight injury in her arm and is currently being attended to in the hospital," Mark notified.
This news moved Arnold a bit, but he didn't show it.
"Ohh... Was it bad?"
"No. She just has to rest for two days," Mark explained, and Arnold nodded to it.
"I saw the Steel Cage Match challenge; just don't be the Jay D in this one," Mark said with a playful smile and tapped Arnold on his right shoulder. "I know it's gonna be the toughest match of your career yet, but you have to do what you have to do."
"Max Fury, you are special. You can conquer any force that comes your way. Defeat Tristan, and prove your great worth."
Mark threw countless words of encouragement, giving Arnold an addition to his motivation.
However, Arnold turned to look at Mark after a certain thought. Then instantly, he laughed out loud.
"HAHAHA!!! Look who is saying this..."
The manner in which he laughed soon made Mark's face turn dark.
"What?! What's funny?" Mark had to ask.
"Nothing... Nothing actually," Arnold tried to stop, chuckling repeatedly.
"Tsk! You punk!" Mark cursed while they turned to approach the hospital.
The truth behind Arnold's laughing reaction was that he never expected such statements from Mark.
This guy hadn't believed in himself one day, not a single day. But now he was trying to motivate someone else.
Although it wasn't strange that people believed in some individuals than themselves, Mark's case was like that, but it was still crazy anyway.
A friend of Max Fury shouldn't be acting like he was...
Arnold only hoped that he would become a bold man with great confidence soon. He was willing to assist his friend.
When they visited the hospital, they had a short chat with Lila. Lila appeared to be in slight pain, but it never ruined her feelings after being assured that she would be fine in just two days.
After spending some time with her — they had to go — Arnold and Mark decided to visit the training ring that night and practice.
Mark continued the Broad Kick practices, and it was fortunate this time having made huge progress. Arnold told him to strengthen his focus and determination before he began, and he managed to do just as he was told.
Meanwhile, Arnold kept Ironskin at the side to practice RKO, Neckbuster, and Sorrowful Kiss... Mainly in a mission to advance Attack Power.
He knew for sure that Tristan would possess a very high Endurance level, which meant only a great strike could take him down.
Every strike with the Sorrowful Kiss measured at 100%.
The Neckbuster was incredibly perfect.
The RKO...
At a point, Mark who had attempted to watch, let out a pitiful smile for whoever would suffer from that finisher.
Indeed, what they said about the RKO was true. It was killer!
The more Max Fury delivered the move to the forged humanoid structure, the more it looked more terrifying.
Indeed, not everyone could receive this move and kicked out...
Even some stars in the top shows would bow to the great strike...
Even him... The Alpha Champion who had acknowledged himself as the greatest Grindhouse Wrestling superstar...
When Max Fury strikes like a cunning viper...
He would bow, and acknowledge him as the Alpha and Omega!
Mark declared...
