In the middle of the South China Sea lies an ancient pagoda, standing as a solitary sentinel amidst the vast expanse of water. This pagoda, weathered by centuries of sea winds and salt spray, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
Constructed from weathered stone blocks, the pagoda rises gracefully from a small rocky islet, its silhouette cutting a striking figure against the horizon. Each tier of the pagoda is adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes from Buddhist scriptures and local folklore, telling stories of ancient wisdom and mythical legends.
And on the ground floor of this mythical and ancient pagoda, a wide platform could be seen at the middle of the floor along with two young and vibrant exchanging blows against each other.
While outside the wide platform, two groups of people could be seen both at the left and the right side of the platform. Besides them, there are three identical middle aged men in pure white robes who are surrounding the wide platform while keeping a straight look on their faces.
Apparently, these right here is the clash of dojos provincial level event where the super class family called the Feng family face off the first class called the Ling family.
’Right now, it’s only me and Ling Jun who haven’t climbed the platform yet’ Hutton thought with a wry look on his face as he observed the fight that is happening on the wide platform.
"Although I don’t know what the Grand elder is thinking for not putting you all this time, am sure it won’t be anything bad" Ling Jun suddenly said in an encouraging tone.
"Well, I hope so" Hutton replied as he took in a deep breath trying to calm himself down. But right at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Bang!!
"Barf!" Ling Cao suddenly coughed out blood as he flew out of the platform and crashed heavily on the floor.
"The winner is Feng Do, you can now leave the platform" the supervisor of the fight suddenly spoke up in an indifferent tone.
"Yes supervisor" the blue outfitted young man who was in a hand to hand combat with Ling Cao replied as he did a light bow towards the supervisor before he began to walk out of the wide platform.
’Bastard’ the Grand elder thought as he caught a glance of Feng Po looking at him mockingly. Right after Ling Po Jun’s fight, all the fights till this one has been the Ling family’s loss. And although the Grand elder isn’t showing it, but he is really pained inside.
"Go and tend to him" The Grand elder suddenly said with an indifferent look on his face.
"Yes Grand elder" some of the people who have recovered from their fights immediately responded as they went to help Ling Cao who is still struggling on the ground.
Right after this, the Grand elder suddenly shifted his gaze towards Hutton which stunned him a little.
’Is it finally my turn?’ Hutton thought with a serious look on his face. Throughout the face of against the Feng family, he has been witnessing some very hardcore and brutal hand to hand combat which has made him to understand how tough this event can be.
"You, go and show me your worth" the Grand elder suddenly said with a deep look on his face which stunned not only Hutton but also Ling Jun.
’What do you mean by showing you my worth?’ Hutton thought with an indifferent look on his face as he began to walk towards the wide platform.
’Seems like he is finally sending him out’ Feng Po thought with an evil grin on his face as he suddenly spoke up while still looking at the Ling family side.
"Go"
"Yes boss"
As soon as Feng Po spoke up, a very intense voice sounded out as a thin looking young man in a blue outfit walked out of the Feng family area.
This young man is a slender, young martial artist emerges, clad in a form-fitting blue outfit that accentuates his lithe frame. His attire, adorned with intricate silver trimmings, flows with every movement, hinting at the agility and precision of his martial prowess.
Despite his slender build, there’s an unmistakable aura of strength and discipline that radiates from his every stance.With a deep look etched upon his face, his piercing gaze reflects a reservoir of intensity and focus.

Yet, beneath the surface, there lies a quiet determination and unwavering commitment to his craft.His features are sharp and angular, with high cheekbones and a chiseled jawline, giving him an air of stoicism and determination.
A faint scar traces its way across his cheek, a testament to battles fought and challenges overcome in his journey as a martial artist.As he moves with fluid grace and precision, there’s a sense of controlled power in his every gesture. Each movement is executed with meticulous attention to detail, as if he were a living embodiment of the ancient martial arts traditions passed down through generations.

Yet, in the depths of his soul, there burns a fire of passion and determination, driving him ever forward on his path towards mastery and self-discovery.
When Ling Huang Chou saw who will be Hutton’s opponent, his expression quickly changed as he quickly exclaimed at Feng Po.
"Bastard!!"
"Oh my, there is no need for you to use such vulgar words you know. You are getting old" Feng Po said with a light smile on his face. But Ling Huang Chou didn’t even hear what he said as he just stared Feng Po while having various thoughts in his head.
’Oh my God, this kid will be crippled’
Back on the wide platform, Hutton and the thin looking young martial artist are on it as they looked at each other eye to eye.
"My name is Wang Huan" the thin looking young man suddenly said with a calm look on his face.
"While mine is–"

"Oh you don’t have to tell me, I already know. Am also ordered to cripple you in this event" Right before Hutton could reply, the thin looking young man who is actually named Wang Huan spoke up again in his calm tone.
When Hutton heard what he said, he was immediately stunned before his expression quickly changed into a solemn look as he said.
"Well let’s see if you have the capabilities to achieve that"
"Begin!"
As soon as Hutton said that, the supervisor for the fight immediately announced as he backed away from the platform.
And so, At the heart of the ancient pagoda, where whispers of history mingled with the salty breeze of the South China Sea, a wide platform served as the stage for an epic showdown between two formidable adversaries: Hutton and Wang Huan. The air crackled with anticipation as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue upon the towering stone walls that surrounded them.
Hutton, with muscles rippling beneath his determined countenance, stood poised at one end of the platform, his stance a testament to his years of rigorous training. Opposite him, Wang Huan, his slender frame exuding an aura of quiet confidence, met his gaze with unwavering resolve.
As the first rays of moonlight danced upon the surface of the sea, the two warriors began their dance of combat, each movement a symphony of grace and power. Hutton charged forward, his fists a blur of motion as he unleashed a flurry of strikes aimed at Wang Huan’s defenses. But Wang Huan, with the agility of a serpent, effortlessly sidestepped each blow, his movements flowing like water.
With a primal roar, Hutton unleashed his full strength, channeling the fury of his ancestors into a devastating series of attacks. But Wang Huan, his eyes ablaze with determination, met each strike with calm precision, deflecting and parrying with an almost supernatural grace.
As the battle raged on, the ancient pagoda trembled with the force of their clash, its timeworn stones bearing witness to the intensity of their struggle. With each passing moment, the line between victory and defeat blurred, as both warriors pushed themselves to the limits of their endurance.
In a final, climactic exchange, Wang Huan unleashed a barrage of blows with all the ferocity of a raging storm. But Hutton, his movements a blur of speed and agility, countered with a masterful display of martial prowess, leaving Wang Huan staggered and vulnerable.
With a swift, decisive strike, Hutton delivered the finishing blow, sending Wang Huan crashing to the ground in defeat. As the echoes of their battle faded into the night, a profound silence descended upon the ancient pagoda, broken only by the sound of the gentle lapping of waves against the shore.
In that moment, as the moon cast its soft glow upon the scene, Hutton and Wang Huan shared a silent exchange of respect, their rivalry transcended by the bonds forged in combat. And as they parted ways, each carrying the scars of battle upon their souls, they knew that their epic showdown would be remembered for generations to come, a testament to the timeless spirit of martial prowess that burned within them both.
’Is this the end?’ Ling Huang Chou thought with a hopeful look on his face. But when he noticed the evil grin still on Feng Po face, his expression quickly dashed as a bad premonition grew up within him.
