Chapter 232 The Victor, Finn
The metallic skeleton that was Kira had an increasingly bright gaze. His hands were relaxed and positioned at his sides, fingers together, resembling a warrior wielding dual blades, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure!
Not only that, but the one known as the "Executioner" wore a confident smile at the corner of his mouth and slowly spoke:
"I won't hold back. Feel free to use any trump cards you have, otherwise, you might regret it."
Finn's face showed no other expression, it was as if he hadn't heard a thing. His eyes were filled with calmness as he slowly canceled the combat technique, Wall.
Then, he adjusted his position, gently opening his hands and placing them in front of his chest, while spreading his legs for stability.
His body sank slightly, and his muscles relaxed, showing no signs of stiffness or tension.
Kira watched the other person's movements, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand what Finn was trying to do.
But it didn't matter what he did!
Metal Burn allowed him to become even stronger, enhancing not only his power and speed but also the hardness of his body!
Every strike was more powerful than the combat technique he had just used, Decapitating Blade!
This was his true strength!
If he hadn't recently mastered the combat technique Metal Burn, Kira would have already been defeated!
In the next moment.
Kira's entire body shot forward like a cannonball, slicing through the air with a faint whoosh, appearing right in front of Finn.
"Wow, that was fast! I couldn't even see how he got there!"
"That's it, Kira! Just like that, take Finn down!"
"Rip him in half!"
The continuous shouts of the audience echoed beside the octagonal cage.
Shannon watched Kira's movements, his pupils suddenly constricting. He hadn't expected that this ace Level 4 Beast Master had such a method.
Involuntarily, Shannon began to worry for Finn.
But soon, he saw Finn facing Kira's fierce attack, slowly extending his hands. It appeared very slow, but in reality, he was swiftly blocking Kira's attack!

The moment Kira made contact with Finn, he sensed something was off.
The power of his strike seemed to be absorbed upon hitting Finn's hands, causing no damage at all!
It was like a high-speed train rushing toward its target, only to slow down due to track friction, ultimately coming to a gentle stop without causing any destruction!
Kira showed no hesitation, gritting his teeth and continuing to engage Finn in close combat.
His speed was swift, and his attacks were powerful, with his feet pounding the ground, even creating cracks in the solid octagonal cage floor!
Yet, these attacks were repeatedly neutralized by Finn.
The audience below noticed a peculiar sight.
Aside from the area beneath Finn's feet, everywhere else was filled with cracks.
But that small patch remained completely undamaged!
"Charles, how is this happening?" Celestine exclaimed, her mouth agape in disbelief.
After witnessing Kira's speed and power, she thought Finn was doomed, but now this was the situation.
Charles observed the battle in the octagonal cage and replied slowly, "I'm not entirely sure, but Finn is likely using a type of combat technique that dissipates force."
"Dissipates force?" Celestine looked puzzled.
Ruby turned to Charles, knowing exactly what was going on but wanting to see if Charles was correct.
Charles pondered how to explain and said, "Think of it this way: when a person falls from a height, they can roll to minimize the impact. Finn is in that state right now!"
"Facing Kira's attacks, his hands and the muscles throughout his body can help him dissipate Kira's power. This means that even though Kira's attacks are incredibly strong, they can't cause any significant damage!"
After Charles explained, Ruby nodded in agreement.
"Is it really that impressive? Does that mean Finn is invincible?" Celestine asked.
Charles shook his head and replied, "Actually, it's quite simple. Kira is being too stubborn and has lost his composure. If he could launch a second attack the moment Finn dissipates his force, he could turn the situation around."
"Or he could simply keep his distance from Finn, using his body's toughness to crush the octagonal cage floor and send flying debris as a ranged attack, that would also be a good choice."
Charles continued to analyze, thinking of many strategies he would employ if he were in Kira's position.
Unfortunately, Kira had made a huge mistake by losing the rationality that one should maintain in battle!
Now, the fight in the octagonal cage was at a stalemate, with Kira's stamina being drained while Finn appeared completely unscathed.
"Damn it! How are you doing this?" Kira gasped, feeling extremely frustrated.
After using his strongest technique, Metal Burn, was he still unable to defeat Finn?
At that moment of hesitation, Finn seized the opportunity to strike.
The ground beneath his feet, which had been intact just moments ago, shattered into countless pieces and flew in every direction.
Simultaneously, Finn's body exploded with a wave of energy, propelling him quickly towards Kira.
Kira's pupils constricted as he refused to give up, wanting to continue his assault.
Passive defense would only lead to failure, only an offensive could provide the chance for a comeback!
With that thought in mind, Kira gritted his teeth and summoned all his muscles to launch his most powerful attack.
But Finn wasn't going to give him that opportunity!
"Clack!"
The sound of bones shattering echoed, followed by a huge crash.
At the moment of contact.
Kira was kicked away by Finn's whip-like leg. His metallic skeleton-like body slammed hard against the octagonal cage.
Crashing heavily onto the broken floor. Kira's face turned red, and he spewed a mouthful of blood,
immediately falling into unconsciousness.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding audience first fell into a brief silence, but quickly erupted into chaos!
Most of them were cursing and complaining, shouting loudly while throwing their tickets at the octagonal cage,
"Damn Kira, he just lost like that! Now I'm out of money!"
"Shit, I'd rather he got killed by Finn, at least that would've been more entertaining!"
"If I had known, I would have bet on Finn to win. Now my salary for the month is gone."
"This is rigged, it's definitely rigged! I don't believe it, it must be..."
Only a small number of gamblers, who weren't really confident in Finn, had been lured by the odds on both sides and decided to take a chance betting on Finn to win.
To their surprise, they actually won.
These people clutched their tickets tightly and shouted excitedly,
"Finn! Hahaha, I finally won some money!"
"Great job, hurry up and finish off that Kira guy! He made me lose a lot!"
"I'll bet on you to win next time! You're just too strong!"
Countless discarded tickets fell like snowflakes.
While Finn stood inside the octagonal cage, expressionless and unmoved.
He calmly surveyed his surroundings, pausing briefly when he spotted Charles, before finally fixing his gaze on the bald man.
"I declare the battle over, with Finn as the victor!" the bald man shouted loudly, holding the microphone.
The octagonal cage was slowly opened,
and medical personnel rushed in, carrying the unconscious Kira out to begin treatment.
"Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Shannon hurried over and asked.
Finn shook his head, indicating that he wasn't injured. He just felt a bit fatigued from the exertion, otherwise, he had no discomfort.
Tonight's battle was over.
Now he had to prepare for tomorrow night's fight. "Reaper's Scythe" would take place for seven consecutive nights, challenging seven ace fighters without any breaks.
The challenger not only needs to avoid injuries as much as possible, but they also have to constantly monitor their mindset and mental state.
There are many factors that can influence the battle, and Finn needs to maintain a normal state as much as possible to make it to the end and successfully complete "Reaper's Scythe."
At that moment,
some of the audience members who had won money began to crowd around, shouting Finn's name.
Charles stood up, the fight was over, and he had formed a rough judgment about the fourth-level Beast Master in the underground octagonal cage.
Kira's strength seemed fairly average, possessing two combat techniques and solid combat experience.
He just had a slight issue with his mindset, but that was understandable, very few people could remain calm throughout the entire battle.
Charles, along with Celestine and Ruby, returned to Cyber Academy.
Once in his dorm, he took out his phone to check.
The internet was buzzing with discussions about Finn, especially focused on today's fight, with many already analyzing the battle frame by frame. They even provided commentary and shared videos online.
People were discussing:
"Finn is just too strong, he didn't show a hint of tension at all, and his face remained expressionless!"
"Just looking at today's battle, he displayed three combat techniques, he likely has others he didn't use."
"No way, three combat techniques are already shocking enough!"
"With a genius like Finn, only Charles can compete with him."
"Come on, Charles just became a fourth-level Beast Master, he definitely isn't Finn's match. You're giving him too much credit!"
"I think so too. Although Charles has a high-quality mystical beast, without summoning it, he really isn't Finn's match!"
Charles calmly watched the arguments online, he didn't care about others' opinions.
What he needed to do now was to quickly develop his own combat techniques and sign up to challenge "Reaper's Scythe."
