New World
Round of 16 Top 3

Ken and Blast both know, if they don't give their best from the start. They would only be a mere mockery in this fight. That was why, the two of them instantly prepared to unleash their greatest strength from the first second.

Ken's passive skill instantly activated by itself. Make the skin of the empty hand fighter change color, from white to completely gold. Even her black hair turned into gold.

Unlike Ken who has a passive skill to change the shape of the body and strengthen his body. Blast does not have a special class like Ken. But make no mistake... Although Blast did not have a special class like Ken, all of the items used by Blast were Epic Class items and above. Even now he had used one of his newest items, the Titan Armor. The Legendary Class item he had just bought at the Abyss Colosseum auction.

"Silent Area!"

Blast activated one of its flagship skills, Silent Area. A skill that forced every opponent around him could not use active skills at all. Blast who is an Assassins, of course, depends on his skill to always be able to win in the face of each opponent.

"It's..." Ken immediately noticed a change in his body. Just like the Light Guardian members, Ken was also able to control his mana perfectly. He now felt all the mana in his body had frozen, it was impossible for him to drain mana to activate his skill skill.

The Blast figure immediately disappeared, he immediately used an advanced skill called Stealth. A skill that made his body invisible.

Seeing the Blast figure disappear, Ken still did not lose his composure. He was already used to facing the Assassins who were using skills. After all, he was a true martial expert, every sense in his body was trained to be able to capture the presence of enemies.

The audience immediately cheered happily, seeing the two fighters who were above the arena instantly unleashing their maximum strength.

Thang's...

A direct exchange of attacks takes place between Ken and Blast. Blasts occasionally appeared and landed attacks on Ken, but Ken could always fend off the slash of a dagger from Blast with his bare hands. The dagger that Blast had seemed to lose its sharpness when it met Ken's empty hand. Ken's Empty Hand was like an Epic Class weapon, which was so difficult to destroy.

"I'd guess... You are great..." Blast appeared and landed his attack, taking the time to praise Ken's body's defensive power. Ken's body that had turned completely gold was so difficult to penetrate. This one Ken passive skill can still be active even though it is in the Silent Area belonging to Blast.

"This is not how much... You'll regret it if you don't get serious from now on..." Ken knows if Blast is still holding back a little. From earlier Blast just landed an ordinary normal attack, without using his skill skill. If not for the Blast skill that made him unable to release his active skill, Ken might have ended this fight earlier.

"Don't rush... We entertain the audience here..." Blast again launched his tubular attack, and Ken continuously repelled Blast's attack with both palms.

"We look... How long can this Silent skill of yours hold me..." Ken started to smile. As strong as the Active skill, it will certainly have an active period. And after the active period is completed, it will certainly enter the cooldown period. Ken might not be able to bring out his active skill at the moment, but everyone could see as well. If Blast himself can't break through Ken's defense. Ken only needed to wait for the time until the Blast skill that was holding him back entered the cooldown.

"You think I don't know what you're planning? It was all in vain..." Blast can not dare to play for too long if he is not confident enough with his skills. After all, he wanted to know exactly how long Ken's passive body could survive the onslaught of the usual attack.

"Well, if you want to end this quickly... I'm following you..." Blast's figure appeared quite a distance away from Ken. With both daggers embedded in his right and left hands, Blast was ready to take out one of the other skills.

"Twin Panther!"

The two Blast daggers instantly floated by themselves. The two daggers instantly turned into two black jaguars. The sharp claw claws of each jaguar poked from each leg, ready to tear the skin of anyone who is Blast's opponent.

The blast doesn't stop there... He immediately pulled out a short sword from his system bag. A short sword that was not inferior in quality to his Twin Panther Dagger.

"Be prepared Ken..."

The Blast figure instantly disappeared once again. The two jaguars who had been standing on the right left of Blast were speeding towards Ken. Prepare to attack Ken with their claws.

Thang's...

Thang's...

A true martial artist seemed to have no trouble dealing with two jaguars and an invisible Assassins. It seems clear Ken can still fend off the Blast sword and jaguar claw claws even though he was attacked from several sides. If he is forced not to dodge though, Ken's own hard body becomes a perfect defense for Ken.

"It won't be enough to beat me Blast..."

Bruck...

Ken landed one punch right in the face of one of the jaguars. Make the jaguar immediately lying on top of the fighting arena and unconscious.

Bruck...

Bruck...

Once again Ken landed one of the punches in the stomach of the other jaguar. Make the other jaguar is now bounced into the air so high, until finally fell into the arena of battle with unconscious too.

"You are right... But what about this?"

"Limitless illusion!"

A thin mist suddenly enveloped Ken. All spectators were forced to close their eyes to see Ken.

"It's urgent... I'm trapped..." Ken cursed at himself. Finding himself so easily caught up in the opponent's skill trap.

"What are you looking for?" A voice suddenly sounded from within the thin fog that was before Ken.

Ken tried to sharpen his eyes, trying to see what was inside the thin fog. It felt like he knew the owner of the voice who had just asked him.

"Back Ken... Everything you seek is in vain..." The sound reverberated from within the thin fog. A figure whom Ken was so familiar with now walked slowly out from within the fog and approached him.

"Ken... What are you looking for, Ken? Your place is not here... Your place should be with us..." The figure of a plontos-headed and robed monk all brown reached out his right hand, as if inviting Ken to come along with him.

"Great Monk..." Ken muttered slowly, seeing the figure he was so familiar with was now in front of him and reached out to himself.

"Come with Ken... Your place is not here..."

"But..." Ken did not believe what he saw... He could not believe that the figure who had expelled him from the Shaolin Temple was now inviting him back.

"Come Ken... Come with me..." The monk approached Ken, his hand now almost reaching Ken's hand.

"No... You yourself have thrown me away..." Ken brushed off the hand of the great monk who was inviting him. He could not believe that the Great Monk who had expelled him was now taking him back to the Shaolin Temple. Ken even completely forgot, if he was currently in a virtual game.

"I admit to Ken's fault... Come back... And we'll forgive you... Have you forgotten who took care of you from childhood?"

Ken immediately stared, he immediately remembered the services of the Shaolin Temple who had saved his life and raised him. Ken's left hand also reflexively wanted to reach the right hand of the Great Monk in front of him.

"Wait... Since when does the Shaolin Temple feel self-sufficient?"

"You're not a great monk..." Ken instantly clenched his fists, and struck the Great Monk in the face before him.

###

The audience was all still silent, they were all confused as to why Ken had suddenly stopped moving inside the thin cloud of fog. They all do not realize, if Ken is now fighting with his own mind in the illusion made by Blast.

Wush....

Instantly a strong wind blew away all the thin fog that was around Ken. Marking Ken is escaping the illusory trap of Blast.

"How's it?" Blast was a little surprised, all this time had never been able to escape the illusion of his. He was so confident that Ken would follow all the illusory paths, and deactivate his passive skill. Making himself able to land a deadly attack on Ken.

"Haha.... Your illusion is just an illusion for a boy..." Ken smiled win at Blast.

"No way..."

"You forgot one thing... Everyone in the Shaolin Temple did not think of the mundane, they had all given up their lives on their teachings. It was impossible for them to be self-reliant with what they had done."

"So so... I take you too lightly apparently..." Blast smiled wryly, not expecting that his illusory skill would be thwarted just because of one such trivial matter.

"Can it be my turn now?" Ken gave a small smile, seeing the figure of the Great Monk making himself recall all the teachings of the Shaolin Temple that he had received. Now he is confident enough to defeat Blast even without the help of his skill.

"You're the..." Blast prepared his short sword to prepare to fight with Kem in a manly manner.

The audience cheered immediately, seeing the fight now go back so fast and ferocious. No one in the audience could predict who would be the winner of the fight. Given both participants equally have a near-perfect defense. Ken with his hard body passive skill, and Blast which is now reinforced with legendary-class armor named Titan Armor. No one knew until this fight was over by itself.
