X-Rank Hunter

Chapter 132: Arm Wrestling

"Anyone want to try?! It's only in a cheap price of 10,000 gold coins and you will have the chance to get a Bahaghari!"

"I'll try!" Yet another brawny man stepped forward. But this time, he was holding a bag of coins. He put it onto the table before sitting down. He even raised and positioned his hand immediately as he said, "Let's start kiddo!"

"Oh?" The man smiled as he picked the bag of coins and sure enough, with a glimpse, he calculated that the gold coins were exactly 10,000. Satisfied, the man looked at the little boy who was looking at him as well as he nodded with a smile. The little boy also nodded before he raised his hand and put his elbow on the table too.

However...

Compared to the brawny man, the little boy's arm was way too short! How could they fight an arm wrestling with that?!

The brawny man shifted his gaze to the man hoping to solve the situation only to hear a reply saying, "It's fine, it's fine."

After which, the little boy reached his hand and grabbed the other party's arm. Yes, the half part of the brawny man's arm.

"This..." The brawny man hesitated. "Is this really okay?" He felt that this was way too easy!

"Of course, of course." The man replied with a smile before he added while walking in between them to act as a referee, "Ok, ok, both sides get ready... In a count of 3... 2... 1... Go!!!"

The brawny man grinned even before the other party was counting. And upon finishing the other party's count, he immediately gave his all to crush this kid already!

However, what he experienced was something he would never expect! Even after giving his all, he couldn't even budge a little! What terrifying strength was this kid had?! What even worse was that when he looked at the kid to see his reaction, he found the other party with a confused expression. As if wondering if he was just acting.

The man beside him was commentating as well as if there was really an intense fight. He was annoyed by the fact that only he was the one who was actually giving his all.

The brawny man gritted his teeth. He even screamed in his loudest but even after with veins popping out on his entire body, he only found himself completely crashed by the other party without breaking a sweat at all.

"And that's it! The winner has been decided. Blue team wins!" The man cried out as he swept his gaze across the crowd and said excitedly, "Who else wants to try?!"

"..."

Silence.

There was no response for a moment there. Everyone was even having a hard time processing what they had seen, how could this man rush them just like that?!

"No one? No one?" The man asked yet again.

"Let me give it a try!" Yet this time, when everyone thought that no one would try anymore, another one stepped forward. This time he was a youth in his late teens. He had a demeanor as calm as the pond. His pretty face toppled everyone else around making them jealous of him.

But this was not a battle of whose looks was good, but a battle of strength! Those who were jealous of his appearance mocked him to the best they could do. Just like a crab, once they saw someone above, they would do their best to pull them down with them so that they could shine. Crab mentality indeed!

Seeing that there was a new challenger, the brawny man stepped out dejectedly as the youth sat on the chair. He then smiled and said, "Good afternoon, my name is Lukas, let's have a good much."

"Y-yes," The little boy was slightly embarrassed seeing the polite attitude of the other party. Even so, he still greeted the other party as well, "I am Kyle, let's have a good match."

After which was said, the youth named Lukas waved his hand and a white gemstone appeared on his hand as he placed it on top of the table. It appeared that this Lukas was pretty rich to actually have a storage ring! Not only that, he even had a piece of Energy Stone as a payment. Kyle was slightly surprised.

"Let's begin?" After putting his payment, he raised his hand and put his elbow on the table, signaling that he wanted to begin the arm wrestling already.

"Teach... I mean Kuya Jan?" Kyle shifted his gaze to the man beside him who named Jan as he saw the other party smiling while nodding. After which, Jan picked up the Energy Stone as he accepted it as payment. He had no qualms about it since it had the same value as 10,000 gold coins.

"We have a new challenger here!" Jan started blabbing yet again as he continued, "And this time, he is a youth with a promising face! Even ladies may be jealous of his delicate appearance! But can he defeat this little kid here? Let's all find out!"

Kyle then raised his hand and put his elbow on the table. This time, his opponent's hand wasn't too long as he was still able to grab the other party's hand at least somehow.

"Both of you get ready!" Jan cried out excitedly as he continued, "In the count of 3... 2... 1... Go!"

Crack!

The wooden table that was fortified by World Energy had started to crack because of the force caused by the elbows of both Kyle and Lukas!

"Woah! Woah!" Jan cried out. He was astonished for real. It seemed that this guy was actually pretty strong! He was even worried if he would lose a Bahaghari in this fight.

The crowd, on the other hand, was astonished as well seeing the intense fight. They never thought that this guy was actually that strong to put up a fight who defeated the brawny guy from before. It appeared that they had underestimated him too much. They couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in shame.

But it was weird. Most of the people among the crowd frowned seeing the fight. They felt that something was a miss. They put more of their attention into the match as they finally realized one thing.

They could definitely tell that the duo wasn't releasing any World Energy at all but they could bring out an incredible force. At that moment, they all had realized that it was Physical Energy that they were using in their match! No wonder the brawny guy lost to the little boy a while ago, it appeared that the little boy who defeated him was blessed in Physical Energy!

Physical Energy determined how strong one's physical body. Although everyone had it, not everyone had an abnormally strong Physical Energy similar to that little boy there. And it appeared that the Physical Energy of this kid was strengthening type!

With Physical Energy, one could increase their strength, defense, speed, etc. They could also transform their body into something such as steel, stone, bone, gum, etc. and the strength of their transformation was all depending on their Physical Energy. To how long they would last in that form was, of course, depending on their fuel which was the World Energy.

And this little boy... Although he had no physical changes, everyone around could tell that this boy had the ability to enhance his muscle without having significant physical changes. The crowd could only praise this little boy in their heart as they could only think that he was probably a student of one of the top strongest Academies in the Kingdom. This boy was probably here to test his strength. But to test his strength in this remote place? Everyone also thought that he must be joking!

But now that they thought about it, they also realized that the person who was blabbing nonstop was probably the little boy's teacher. This teacher was probably guarding his student. At that moment, the face of this teacher suddenly became somewhat familiar to all of them. They just couldn't recall who he was at the moment.

The fight then went on as it became even more intense. Both sides were now gritting their teeth to their hardest. This pretty guy was really strong as well! Everyone could tell that. It was a pity that he was already reaching his limits.

Bang!

Just like that, the pretty guy was finally defeated by the little boy. Jan didn't stop commentating as he finally cried out the winner of the match.

The pretty guy gasped for a couple of mouthfuls of breath before he smiled and bow slightly, "You really are strong. Thank you for the match."

"Y-yes," Kyle was yet again embarrassed to the polite attitude of the other party. He could still accept it if they were the same age, however, he was a lot younger than the other party. He could only reply politely as well, "You too are strong. Thank you as well for the good match."

The pretty guy then smiled and stood up. He then turned around and walked out of the crowd to leave the area.

"How about that person teach... I mean Kuya?" Kyle asked as he shifted his gaze to Jan.

"Hmmmm." Jan thought about it as he added. "It seems that we have no other choice other than him..."

"!"

"I wanna try too!"

Jan was just barely finishing his words when he suddenly heard an excited voice of a little girl. He was jolted awake as he just found a little girl already seating on the chair.

Just when did this kid sit there? Jan didn't even notice it at all.
