"Damn it!"

Flying quickly to the edge of the ring, Castro endured the severe pain in his chest. With some difficulty, he managed to land on his feet.

Crash!

The solid stone slabs of the arena cracked under his weight, and Castro's feet dug two half-meter-long trenches as he skidded backward, nearly falling out of the ring.

"Critical hit!"

The referee immediately shouted upon witnessing the scene.

On the large screen high above the venue, Ethan's picture displayed a 2, indicating he had scored 2 points.

In Sky Arena matches, the winner isn't solely determined by a KO; scores are also calculated.

An excellent attack earns 1 point.

A very good attack earns 2 points.

If an opponent falls and only stands after the referee's countdown, 1 point is awarded.

Accumulating 10 points results in the player with 10 points being declared the winner.

Ethan's score of 2 points indicated that his recent hit was deemed excellent by the referee.

And indeed, it was.

Although the confrontation between Ethan and Castro was brief, with most people unable to see clearly, Ethan dodged the attack and delivered a powerful counterstrike—clean and effective.

"Are you kidding me? He got hit with just one blow?"

"Wasn't Castro supposed to have the potential to become a champion? How did he end up at a disadvantage so quickly?"

"Beautiful, that's what I wanted. I'm sure to make a fortune this time!"

"The gap between the two seems quite large. Ethan's strength seems to have improved significantly since his last match."

...

In the audience, Ethan's 2-point hit elicited a huge reaction.

Some couldn't believe Castro was injured and at a disadvantage, while others cheered for Ethan's advantage.

At the same time, some Nen users who came to watch looked at Ethan on the ring in shock.

Castro wasn't a weakling; otherwise, he wouldn't be a renowned player on the 200th floor. His strength had earned him that status.

Yet now, in just one round, the battle had clearly divided into top and bottom.

This undoubtedly suggested that Ethan was much stronger than Castro, with a significant disparity.

"Surely, there won't be any suspense in this match."

"Indeed, although Castro is powerful, there's a big gap compared to Ethan!"

Lisa and Mia, sitting together, communicated in low voices. Seeing Ethan gain the upper hand, both women had happy smiles on their faces.

Whoosh!

Ethan's figure quickly moved forward again. While the audience was buzzing, he didn't pause his offensive, nor did he give Castro a chance to recover.

In an instant, Ethan appeared diagonally close to Castro, kicking his right leg with a whip-like motion, as powerful as a dragon's tail, aiming a violent kick at Castro's head.

Bang!!

The powerful whip kick landed accurately on Castro's head. Without any suspense, he was swept away.

Suddenly.

The Castro that flew out vanished like an afterimage midway.

At the same time, a fierce gust appeared behind Ethan.

It was Castro. The Castro, who seemed to have been kicked away, suddenly appeared behind Ethan.

"Tiger Bite Fist!!"

Amidst the roar, Castro's hands formed tiger claws, powerful nen condensed within them, mimicking a tiger's fangs as it fiercely attacked Ethan.

Boom!!!

Ethan's right foot, bursting with astonishing force and wrapped in powerful nen, struck Castro's abdomen, creating a visible shockwave.

Ethan surprisingly launched his attack faster than Castro, turning and kicking him before he could react.

Whoa!!

A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Castro's 'Tiger Bite Fist' was abruptly interrupted. His body bent, and he flew out like a cannonball amidst the screams.

!!!

Flying out of the ring, Castro landed on the ground outside the ring.

His body curled up and motionless, he fell into unconsciousness from the injuries and severe pain of the heavy blow.

"No way, could the match really be decided so quickly?"

"Did I just imagine it? Why did I see two Castros?"

"The outcome is decided; the match is over!"

Castro's fall out of the ring sent excitement and noise through the venue.

Ethan lowered his right foot, stepped onto the ground, and looked at the unconscious Castro outside the ring.

As an 'acquaintance,' he knew Castro's Nen ability well.

[Double Body] is a Nen ability that isn't difficult to handle if you're prepared, unless there's a significant disparity.

"A person who wastes his talents in vain, but there are many such people among the gifted," Ethan thought as he indifferently withdrew his gaze.

Castro's talent wasn't bad, but due to his insufficient understanding of Nen, he pursued the wrong path as a Conjurer when he should have embraced his nature as an Enhancer.

For example, Ethan's [Ice Blade Killing Fist] is a blend of martial arts and nen, a standard Enhancer method.

A person's 'capacity' is limited, generally accommodating only one type of Nen.

Once you take the wrong path, it doesn't render you ineffective, but it significantly reduces your potential.

Had Castro chosen the right path, he could have become a top-tier Nen user, perhaps even a top one.

But by choosing the wrong path, unless he finds some opportunity to expand his 'capacity,' his potential is essentially capped at a second-rate level.

Counting down the tens of seconds, it was naturally impossible for the unconscious Castro to wake up, which also announced that the game ended with Ethan's victory, bringing his record to 8 wins.

Afterward, Ethan left the venue through the contestants' entrance, but he didn't leave directly. Instead, he returned to the service desk to submit another application.

In the battle with Castro, not only was he uninjured, but his energy consumption was minimal, allowing him to apply for further competitions continuously.
