Kim Seon didn't hesitate, The moment his foot slipped free from Sun-ho's grasp, he lunged forward again.
His fist shot toward Sun-ho's jaw.
WHIP!
Sun-ho tilted his head slightly, The punch missed by a strand of hair.
"Tsk." Kim Seon clicked his tongue, pivoted, and launched a spinning elbow.
It slammed into Sun-ho's guard, but Sun-ho didn't move an inch, His forearm blocked it like a steel wall.
"What?" Kim Seon muttered.
He attacked again, jabs, hooks, knees, low kicks Every angle, every opening, every fake-out.
But Sun-ho's defense was like a building front of him, calm hands, precise movements and parrying his attack
Not a single strike landed cleanly.
"Is that all you've got?" Sun-ho asked.
Kim Seon's eye twitched He hated it,
Hated how this kid wasn't panicking, wasn't struggling and wasn't even sweating.
But beside them…
Choyun was suffering.
Eunhyeong's fighting style was brutal,
MMA and street-fighting.
A hook to the body, a elbow to the temple, a knee to the ribs.
THUD!
Choyun crashed against a pillar, blood splattering He staggered, vision shaking.
Eunhyeong didn't stop.
He moved in with cold expression, grabbing Choyun's hair and slamming a fist straight into his jaw.
CRACK!!
Choyun spat blood.
His ribs were broken, Shoulder dislocated, Vision blurry, Breathing was painful.
"Too weak." Eunhyeong muttered.
Choyun tried to stand straight, but his legs trembled violently.
Sun-ho saw him from the corner of his eye,
but he didn't turn his head.
Kim Seon suddenly smirked.
"You asked if that's all I got, right?" he said.
White Lightning crackled around him.
Sun-ho's eyes narrowed "Oh?" he said.
Kim Seon's body blurred,
ZAP!!
He moved almost like teleportation, Lightning-step footwork.
His fist appeared right in front of Sun-ho's face.
LIGHTNING-FIST TECHNIQUE: FORM ONE
Sun-ho barely had time to raise his fist,
but he did.
BAM!!!
Their fist collided, the ground cracked opened.
But
Instead of Sun-ho's arm breaking, Kim Seon's entire hand folded inward from the impact.
He was launched backwards, smashing into the wall.
"-Gah! WHA!!!?"
His eyes were wide.
"My… my hand..."
Sun-ho calmly rolled up his sleeve, revealing his forearm, it was clean not a single bruise.
His muscle was like crafted by a artist.
"You really thought that technique would work against me?" Sun-ho said.
Kim Seon felt a chill run down his spine, For the first time in a long time, he was afraid.
Meanwhile.
Choyun dropped to his knees again.
Eunhyeong stood over him, untouched.
"You fought well," Eunhyeong said "But this is reality, You're outclassed."
Choyun coughed out a mouthful of blood.
His vision dimming, His bones screaming.
'System use recovery card'
Choyun gritted his teeth from pain 'Use everything, even the Ascension Card.'
His body straightened Pain vanished, Breathing cleared.
Eunhyeong's eyes widened.
"What?"
Choyun slowly lifted his head.
His eyes glowed, A bright eerie, awakened light.
Eunhyeong eyes narrowed.
He'd seen those eyes before.
Choyun clenched his fists.
"Round two." he said.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." Eunhyeong said.
Choyun exhaled and then he moved.
His fist shot out like a bullet.
BAM!!
Eunhyeong's head snapped to the side.
Before he could recover, Choyun switched stance, footwork crisp angles
WHIP!
CRACK!
THUD!
Choyun was Using everything he got from system.
A body shot lifted Eunhyeong's ribs, roundhouse at his jaw, Kyokushin fist at his stomach, a hook into the liver.
Eunhyeong staggered back "Hah, haha." he laughed breathlessly, His lip ripped open Blood dripped down his chin.
"You should have done this before, this is fun."
Choyun lowered his stance "I'm not done."
He activated his card, Attack Power Boost ‐5x
And then
His fist collided with Eunhyeong's face.
The impact sounded like a bomb, Eunhyeong's head snapped backward, blood spraying into the air His cheekbone cracked, his lip split open, his nose bent unnaturally.
Still, he grinned.
"That punch, damn, You're serious."
Then
He grabbed the collar of his shirt and tore it off.
His upper body was revealed bulky like a bodybuilder, compact and carved with power.
"Alright," Eunhyeong cracked his neck "Let me show you what happens when I get serious."
A small shiver at Choyun's spine.
Instinct screamed at him.
Danger.
Eunhyeong vanished.
To Choyun eyes he was blurred, His eyes struggle to track the movement.
THUMP!
Eunhyeong's fist dug into Choyun's abdomen.
"-GHHH!!"
Choyun's entire body folded around the punch.
He flew backwards like a ragdoll.
Blood splattered mid-air, painting the air red like mist.
He hit the wall
KRASHHH!!!
The wall exploded with debris, Choyun disappeared into the rubble, coughing blood, ribs shattered instantly from the single hit.
Eunhyeong stood there, wiping blood from his cheek.
Opposite side.
Kim Seon was kneeling, Collapsed and Exhausted Bleeding from everywhere.
he looked at Sun-ho the kid he had mocked, belittled… insulted.
"It- it can't be." Kim Seon whispered.
He had used everything, Every lightning-step technique, Every lightning-fist combination,
every hidden trump card.
Seven techniques, Each one enough to scattered the bones.
His final technique had landed, a full-power Lightning Arc Kick across Sun-ho's jaw.
It left a massive purple bruise on Sun-ho's cheek.
But the problem was,
Sun-ho stood still, It was like the pain didn't register.
Kim Seon's hands trembled.
"T-this level, this kind of defense only big brother Minho and master Minwoo could-"
Sun-ho down his sleeve, looking unimpressed.
"You're good," he said "But you're not on my level."
'At least on this body of mine.'
Kim Seon's breath hitched, the humiliation burned inside him, but deeper than that, Respect and Realization.
"-You monster," Kim Seon whispered "You're, the same type as Minho, No-"
His eyes shook "You might even surpass him someday."
Sun-ho didn't respond.
He was looking at the rubble where Choyun fell.
His eyes narrowed "Choyun, you did good but now, let me handle it."
Eunhyeong turned towards Sun-ho, his expression cold, because he saw kim Seon injury.
Both now, standing face to face, then Sun-ho smiled.
