The man in ck didn’t dare to stand his ground. Instead, he swiftly dodged to the side.


    At that moment, Number 6’s halberd nearly grazed his shoulder, but it only left a tear on his clothing. If he had been any slower, he might have lost an arm.


    She intensified her assault as her speed and strength increased with each strike. Each swing of her de carried the sound of thunder, which made her attacks unstoppable.


    On the contrary, he continuously evaded her attacks. Even when he managed to block, his arms were left numb, and he was forced to retreat several steps with each blow.


    With no opportunity for a counterattack, he had no choice but to focus on defense.


    “Hey, Miles, didn’t you say she would lose? Looks like she’s gaining momentum and might win.” Ruby watched the fight with growing surprise from outside the battle ring.


    Initially, the man in ck seemed to have the upper hand. But once Number 6 removed her outer clothing, she turned the tables. Surprisingly, her relentless assault couldn’t be stopped.


    “Well…” Miles’ smile froze, and his face revealed some embarrassment. He hadn’t expected Number 6 to wear darksteel armor underneath her clothes.


    Her sealed strength was unleashed with the armor removed, greatly enhancing her abilities. It just proved tha? predictions didn’t hold up until the very end.


    Miles suddenly turned to Dustin with a curious expression. “Hey, did youalready know that Number 6 was wearing darksteel armor?”


    “Nope.” Dustin smiled and exined, ” I figured a petite woman like her swinging a halberd had to be special. It’s not every day you see women handling weapons like that.”


    “Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?” Miles finally caught on.


    When someone was doing something out of the ordinary, there was usually a good reason behind it.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    A petite woman wielding heavy weaponry indicated either exceptional talent or extraordinary strength. Such individuals were naturally more formidable than ordinary martial artists.


    Ruby suddenly shouted, “Hey! Looks like the first battle ring’s about to wrap up!”


    Everyone around them immediately turned their attention to the battle ring.


    At that moment, Number 6 had already pushed the man in ck to the edge of the ring. He was panting heavily and drenched in sweat, clearly reaching his limit.


    In contrast, she remained lively and aggressive. With onest powerful swing of her halberd, she sent his shadowsteel staff flying.


    He staggered backward. His foot hovered dangerously close to the edge of the ring as he struggled to maintain his bnce.


    At this crucial moment, the man in ck was defenseless, and victory was within her grasp. But Number 6 surprised everyone by stopping her assault and lowering her halberd.


    “You gave me a chance earlier. So,consider me returning this favor. Let’s keep fighting.” She gently kicked the shadowsteel staff on the ground.


    The staff shot up into the air andnded right in his hand.


    She even took a few steps back to ensure her opponent had ample room to fight, showing hermitment to a fair fight.


    The crowd silently admired her gesture. While it was often said that friendship should trumppetition, few actually abide by that principle.


    Who would willingly give their opponent a chance to stage aeback when victory seemed within grasp?


    The man in ck nced at her, then down at the staff in his hand. Finally, he let out a resigned sigh and shook his head. “You know what? I’m calling it quits. I’m no match for you. I concede.”


    Her disy of respect had won him over, so he saw no point in dragging the fight. After all, there was no shame in admitting defeat when he knew he was outmatched.
