Chapter 147 Popcorn, Anyone?
Instantly, the chain in Hayden\'s hand extended out like the tail of a scorpion and was suddenly engulfed in reddish flames too.
Mhal Fu\'s eyes turned grim as he hastily dodged the attack in the nick of time.
~Sling!
The chain retracted back into Hayden\'s hands.
[Those within the buildings]:... (°0°)
[Those in the barrage]: (°∆°)
What did they just see?
Wasn\'t that Senior Scorpion\'s technique?
And just Hayden\'s mastery was even greater than some of the Inner and Core disciples who had been trying to master the technique.
Instantly, the barrage exploded.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!.... I can finally die with no regrets! ... Wait! I take that back. I\'m not done with the Park yet. But do you all see how powerful senior Hayden is?"
"F***! Even though senior Mhal Fu dodged, just look at the space beside him. Look! Look! A long cracked line has been formed, leading to that boulder behind. And all this was coming from the deadly aura around the attack! That is, Senior Hayden\'s attack didn\'t even touch the ground!"
"~Pff… Upstairs, I almost thought you wanted to sabotage yourself. But you quickly changed your words fast."
"Lying trough! I\'m not a sect member, but this Senior Hayden\'s attack almost made me worship him as my master."
"Hahahaha! Upstairs, what about me? I\'m a sect member, and I too am not ashamed to say that I secretly thought of getting senior Hayden as my master too."
"Dammit! Now I\'m confused. Who will win? Who will win the fight? The answer boils down to who has a better mastery of techniques since they are both within the 5th Dan. Will it be senior Mhal Fu\'s Mastery of Kratos\' Rage of Fury? Or will it be Senior Hayden\'s mastery of Senior Scorpion\'s techniques? Oh My God! This is too exciting, right?"
"Sigh... If I knew, I would\'ve gotten my popcorn sooner."
....
Everyone was busy doing the guessing game, and even the elders were involved in it as well.
As for Chu Che, Kratos\'s techniques could defeat Scorpion, and Scorpion\'s techniques could also beat Kratos as well.
So the barrage was right. It boiled down to who had the better mastery of things since their strengths were somewhat equal.
Even though Hayden had just stepped into the 5th Dan, his strength was similar to a middle-stage 5th Dan warrior.
And Mhal Fu also had the strength of a Middle stage 5th Dan warrior.
So... will the 26-year-old Hayden win? or will the 117-year-old Mhal Fu win?
This was what everyone wanted to know.
Of course, Mhal Fu still looked like he was 18... so it looked like 2 teenagers were battling one another.
Everyone\'s eyes twinkled with expectations while watching the scene below.
And even Mhal Fu had to look at Hayden in appreciation too.
Indeed. He was a worthy adversary.
He also felt like Hayden was clouded in mystery.
So he couldn\'t relax his guard around this guy.
Mhal Fu looked at Hayden\'s full H.P bar floating around and took a deep breath.
Alright. It looks like he would have to give it everything he had to win this battle.
With that, the duo resumed their fight fiercer than before.
.
~Din! Din! Din! Din!
The heavy footsteps of the duo echoed out as both sides dashed towards each other with their weapons at bay.
Mhal Fu activated his swords, just like Kratos would, and Hayden swished his chain haphazardly while running towards his opponent.
"Get Over Here!"
His chain fiercely extended towards Mhal Fu, growing red with danger, producing a snake-like face at the front of his weapon.
It was so fast that those below the 5th Dan hardly saw anything.
Mhal Fu hastily gripped his swords harder and quickly did a sweeping slash movement, slapping the chain away.
"Rage of Fury!"
His move sent a deadly wave of reddish flames towards Hayden.
~Boom!
The ground rumbled, and the dust raised into the air crazily.
And before everyone could even blink, Hayden was by Mhal Fu\'s side like a shadow.
Everyone stood up in disbelief.
What was going on here?
How did he get there so fast?
Even some within the 6th Dan didn\'t see his moves at all.
But how was this possible?
They looked at the scene in disbelief.
But only some people watching understood why.
"Ahhhh!!!... It\'s the Shirai Ryu Clan shadow technique!"
Those who heard this widened their eyes wide in astonishment.
Shirai Ryu! Shirai Ryu!... Wasn\'t that the clan name that Scorpion came from?
Dammit! How could they have forgotten that the entire essence of Scorpion was that of an assassin?
Kratos was a proud God and didn\'t care for assassin-like moves. He was bold and acted upfront
But Scorpio was like a scorpion of one will. A sneaky scorpion that moved in hiding.
He was a true assassin through it all.
So If one had chosen to learn Scorpion\'s ways, then they would find that within the Park\'s pavilion, there were over 40 different manuals alone for Scorpion.
Unlike Movies or Tv shows from the cinemas, the manuals based on the games separated all techniques in numerous manuals.
So it depends on what one wants to learn.
And it just so-called that not only had Hayden picked up 4 different manuals and had been diligently studying them like crazy.
But before one could study any technique of any chosen game character, they first had to get the backstory manual for the characters to fully understand the character\'s behavior and motives... Thus becoming one with their chosen character.
Those who had chosen the Scorpion\'s Shirai Ryu Shadow technique found their lips quivering as they stared deeply at Hayden in awe and envy.
Dammit! When will they be able to get to this level?
.
Like a whiff of air, Hayden appeared right beside Mhal Fu.
What??!
Mhal Fu\'s pupils dilated as a scorching pain engulfed him whole.
It was as if he had been stung by the most poisonous scorpion when the bladed tips of the chain generated his sides and pulled him closer to Hayden swiftly.
\'Ahhhhhhhhhhh\'
He wanted to fight back but found that it was already too late.
"Get Over Here!"
Bam. Pah. Slash!
In a 3-combo move, Hayden not only Slammed Mhal Fu to the rock behind but also kicked and slashed Mhal Fu\'s thigh.
But he wasn\'t done yet.
Hayden suddenly opened his mouth wide: "HellFire Flames!"
~Brrmmmmmm!
Fire spat out of his mouth crazily, engulfing Mhal Fu.
But soon, Hayden jumped back swiftly as Mhal Fu had just retaliated.
Slash.
Hayden still ended up getting hit.
But at least, his H.P had only dropped to 95%, while Mhal Fu\'s had fallen to 77%.
Nonetheless, he dared not relax his guard.
He only managed to get Mhal Fu to take a large hit because he had surprised him with the Shirai Ryu shadow clan technique. But that wouldn\'t work anymore.
Thus, anything could happen.
.
Scorpion vs Kratos.
