"Hmph!" Kentucky let out a cold snort. In the next moment, he charged forward. "Then don't blame me!" Without any fancy techniques, he simply swung his fist straight toward Ron. Ron lightly shifted his footing. "Bang!" Kentucky's attack hit nothing but air, producing a sharp whooshing sound. Ron shaped his hand like a blade. "Slash!" A crimson line of blood appeared on Kentucky's body, his skin cut open. Kentucky's face changed slightly. But soon after, Kentucky looked at Ron with disdain. "That's your attack?" "At this level, are you just scratching me?" Ron ignored Kentucky. As Kentucky lunged again, Ron's figure flashed. In the next instant, Ron appeared behind him. He drove a punch into Kentucky's waist. That area was extremely vulnerable. Even without using much force, Ron inflicted decent damage, causing Kentucky's body to wobble. "You damn brat!" Kentucky was furious. From Kentucky's perspective, Ron was completely looking down on him. Moreover, in the midst of battle, Ron used such underhanded methods. Striking another weak point would be acceptable, but going for the kidneys was something Kentucky couldn't tolerate. That concerned the happiness of his future life. (t/n: In traditional Chinese medicine and culture, the kidneys are associated with life energy.) Kentucky raised both arms high and reached out to grab Ron in a bear hug. Ron lightly kicked off the ground and rose into the air. Kentucky continued to pursue, but Ron still easily dodged Kentucky's attacks. "Bang!" Enraged and humiliated, Kentucky slammed his fist into the floor. The sturdy floor shattered instantly. Killua watched from the stands and frowned. "Why does this feel familiar somehow?" But he couldn't pinpoint what exactly seemed familiar. "As expected of top-tier fighters on the 200th floor!" "Truly impressive!" Sadaso exclaimed. "Killua, who do you think will win between Ron and Kentucky?" "Who? Isn't it obvious?" Sadaso's question puzzled Killua. "Obvious?" Sadaso was confused. "How is it obvious? Ron's advantage is agility, but his attacks barely hurt Kentucky. He has to keep chipping away. Kentucky's defense is too strong. Kentucky's offences are incredible as well, and Ron doesn't dare take a hit. If Kentucky lands a blow, Ron would be seriously injured. Isn't this evenly matched?" This was Sadaso's judgment, and it matched the view of many in the audience. It's not that they were biased; it's just that their abilities and vision were limited. But Killua was different. Killua could sense that Ron was toying with Kentucky. Moreover, Ron's fighting style subconsciously prompted Killua to start mimicking it in his mind. "The key points are prediction and patience." "If I'd had this kind of judgment and patience in my last fight, I wouldn't have lost." "Even without using the Zoldyck assassination arts, I could have won." Killua's eyes lit up, observing even more carefully. Besides Killua, some others had also noticed what was really happening. These were the Floor Masters of Heaven's Arena. They had arranged for Kentucky to test Ron's strength. Now, seeing the results, they felt a chill in their hearts. "Kentucky didn't force Ron to reveal his true strength at all." "Instead, we need to grow even more wary." "Ron's strength is too great." "He's fully at a Floor Master level." "It'll be very hard for any of us to be his match." "No point analyzing further. We'll just wait for him to choose. Whoever he picks has no choice but to accept it." "He can only take one Floor Master position anyway." Kentucky grew more and more angry, more and more anxious. But he truly had no way to deal with Ron. Too clumsy. Ron could only describe Kentucky as clumsy. Half a year of training his own body ensured that Ron's physical form wouldn't be his weak point. He could open the sixth Stone Gate, possessed the Zoldyck family's signature speed and agility, and had achieved a ninety-percent mastery of every Nen technique except for the final stage of Ryu. "Almost time to fight back." Ron's figure flickered, appearing at Kentucky's flank. "Whip Strike!" One arm flowed like water, lashing out viciously at Kentucky. "Smack!" A surge of intense pain flooded Kentucky's senses. Kentucky was startled, then frightened. Instinctively, he curled up into a ball, wrapping himself tightly. Ron: "???" "What's this supposed to mean?" Kentucky's action baffled Ron. It was just a single strike. The whip strike caused more pain than actual damage and wasn't fatal to Kentucky. Why did Kentucky react so dramatically? Kentucky himself was stunned too. This was a subconscious response. After doing it, Kentucky realized what he had done and blushed with embarrassment, feeling a bit humiliated. But having curled up, Kentucky was reluctant to unfold himself. "This is my absolute defense." "Kid, can you break it?" "Finally here." "Ron, your fist can't break my defense." "I'll use this chance to catch you." "After that, it's my turn." "I'll leave you with no chance to fight back." -------------------------- t/n: IDK the whip strike from Baki looks like it would hurt like hell. And Yujiro said it's only meant for discipline!
