The crowd erupted with thunderous applause. It had been a spectacular display - two powerful fire users clashing with everything they had, Phoenix bloodline ultimately proving superior through regeneration and raw power advantages.
Medical staff rushed to attend Emmet while Kyle stood victorious in the center of the ring, barely breathing hard despite the intensive fight.
He looked toward where I sat in the spectator section, his expression carrying clear message: You're next.
I met his gaze evenly, unfazed by the implicit challenge. A small smirk formed on my face.
Come on...then.
Kyle had defeated Emmet convincingly through bloodline advantages and exploitation of weaknesses. It was an impressive performance, and I wasn't surprised. Kyle had a supreme bloodline just like me, it wasn't out of the box that he had managed to defeat Emmet.
