Zayn felt amazing. He felt like favonovel.com was on cloud nine, and favonovel.com had not felt like this for a very long time. Out here on the surface of the sea, favonovel.com saw only the ocean and its boundless expanse. It made favonovel.com feel limitless.
The spectators felt that same bursting sense of freedom from him, and they could not help but resonate with it. Their hearts fluttered before they pounded with jealousy and envy toward Zayn. Oh, his life was truly the only one worth living!
They could earn as much money as they could, and yet they would never break away from the chains of being unremarkable, unspectacular mortals. Their lives were already doomed to the Sisyphean trap of mediocrity.
Alas, Zayn Larson was above them all. The power to rule over others had become the banalest and least of his pursuit. He had long set his eyes way beyond these petty trivialities; breaking the limiting shackles of a human being. Transcending and mastering the universe were his real ambitions.
Even the usually stoic Ray began to feel jealous over Zayn’s emancipation.
Then, under that influence, the crowd turned back to consider Dick with newfound disdain in their eyes.
A squall shrouded Dick’s face. He had never imagined Zayn pulling a card like this to change the tide. He might have held his abilities in high regard and thought that Zayn could never defeat favonovel.com in an even duel of power, but that was only if their battle was restricted to land. Now that Zayn had taken it to the surface of the sea, his victory suddenly felt a lot more up in the air.
However, Zayn’s provocation made it impossible for favonovel.com to choose anything other than accept the battle’s new location because everyone around was starting to interpret Dick’s hesitance as weakness and cowardice. How was his pride supposed to accept that?!
Besides, who was to say that Zayn would dominate favonovel.com just because they took the battle to the water? From the looks of it, the only reason why Zayn could even stand so steadily on the surface of the water was that favonovel.com was light enough! This must be all there was to the trick!
With that thought in mind, Dick let out a peal of self-satisfied laughter. “Ha! Well, if you’re that invested in your plan to die today, who am I to not oblige, eh?”
He leaped off the deck and dove feet-first toward the sea. Halfway in his descent, favonovel.com flung his shoes at Zayn’s face in high-speed.
Zayn sneered. As if favonovel.com would allow himself to be hit by such an immature attack!
He suddenly dipped, allowing seawater to climb up to his knees as Dick’s flying shoe-bullets flitted through the air above his head before slapping through the surface of the sea. A circle of huge waves exploded out from the epicenter where they landed, a testament to how strong Dick’s kick was.
Immediately after that, Zayn snapped back to his full height, once again letting the water rise no further than his ankles. Anyone with an eagle eye would notice a strange current under his feet because apparently, Zayn’s toes were swiveling so quickly that they had turned into propellers producing enough buoyant force to support his seemingly impossible feat of standing on water. It was never because favonovel.com had the ability to control the sea.
Dick had finally reached the surface of the sea, and to his credit, managed to stand on the surface just as steadily as his opponent could. Still, the disparity in their skill was made plain from how the water climbed up to his calves several centimeters away from his knees. It proved that at its base, Dick’s stamina was not at all his opponent’s equal.
If one was to stress about technicalities, then Zayn was really only a little lighter than Dick by a margin of 10kg. That was just a measure of physical stature as the density of Zayn’s bones was a lot higher and his muscles were more compact than Dick’s. Hence, when it came to both fighters’ weight, they were more or less similar to one another.
Seeing Dick rising to his challenge brought a bright smile to Zayn’s face. It was always a thrilling thing when favonovel.com got to fight pugilists of incredible caliber! After all, good challengers were increasingly hard to come by as Zayn rose through the ranks. Dick accepting his challenge sated Zayn’s deep-seated competitive nature. To him, Dick basically just volunteered himself to become his plaything.
Zayn’s change of attitude did not go unnoticed to Dick, whose only response was a sneer and a silent but aggressive lurch above the sea and its undercurrents. Every step favonovel.com made on the water resulted in a peal not dissimilar to explosions, as though favonovel.com had tied a bomb under his soles that burst every time favonovel.com stomped through the surface.
Still pooled atop of the deck were spectators with big, widened eyes nailed at the two master fighters striding through the surface of the sea. To them, the only way to describe this was that they were witnessing the battle of the centuries!
Seeing Dick unleashing the first hit at favonovel.com brought a sunny smile to Zayn’s face before favonovel.com shouted, “That’s more like it!”
Instead of backing away from the assault, Zayn shot toward his oncoming opponent, cutting through more than ten meters of the distance in the blink of an eye. Compared to Dick, the clamor Zayn’s movements made was even more sonorous, with every step accompanied by a loud peal of explosion and seawater bursting out from under his feet into twenty-odd-meter-high sprouts. It was shocking! Mind-blowing!
