“It’s clear he can’t win, so it’s better to kick him off the stage early and save some energy.” Andrew Bennett sneered.

“William is at least clever.” Simon Bennett stroked his chin and smiled.

“What’s the use of being smart? On the stage, it’s all about fists and kicks.” Andrew Bennett sneered again.

But in the next moment, the old man’s expression stiffened. Because William Bennett’s basic fist technique, the “Five-Step Fist,” actually held its own against the Floating Leaf Palm for more than ten moves and he still hadn’t been kicked off the stage.

Even Emily Bennett was getting a bit anxious, her palms striking like the wind, enveloping William Bennett like a flurry of falling leaves. Yet, after a few more minutes, it seemed she hadn’t even touched the corner of William Bennett’s clothes.

“How could this happen?” John Carter’s face froze.

“I guess this kid doesn’t have blood roots, so he’s focused on training his body. This Five-Step Fist is the most basic body-tempering technique. He’s actually mastered it to perfection. But Emily Bennett’s martial skill level isn’t high either. If she changes her palm technique, he’ll definitely go down with a thud.” Andrew Carter tugged at his rough beard, looking confident.

“The kid’s Five-Step Fist is actually pretty good.” Seeing that he’d lasted dozens of moves without being kicked off, Charles Bennett finally found some comfort.

“Sigh, it probably won’t be so easy next. If Emily Bennett changes her move, it’ll be trouble.” Brian Bennett frowned tightly.

Emily Bennett, unable to win after a long fight, grew anxious and shouted, “Cousin William, I’m going to use the ‘Howling Sky Palm’ now!”

“All right, bring it on!” Unexpectedly, William Bennett smiled calmly.

Howling Sky Palm, a mid-tier Earth-level martial skill of the Ye family. It’s the highest-level martial skill that unranked Ye family disciples can learn. Under Emily Bennett’s palm force, her blood surged. A powerful surge of blood energy poured into her palm.

Her palm became like a blade, chopping straight at William Bennett. At this moment, Emily Bennett’s palm, infused with blood energy, was as hard as wood. If it hit, it would definitely cause injury. Unexpectedly, William Bennett sidestepped gracefully again, twisting with the Five-Step Fist to dodge.

Emily Bennett missed with one strike, her face flushing red. She could no longer care about her dignity. With a delicate shout, like an oriole singing, she spun in a light 360-degree turn, sweeping three palm strikes like blades at William Bennett’s waist.

But William Bennett suddenly twisted and stood his ground. He simply tucked his abdomen and lifted his leg, easily dodging the steel-like palm blades.

“Down you go, Emily Bennett!” William Bennett gave a light snort, and with a perfectly timed push to Emily Bennett’s back, her body, unable to stop in time, tumbled off the stage. She managed to steady herself after a stumble.

Stunned!

The whole place was stunned!

John Carter and Andrew Carter both frowned, their brows knotted like pine cones. The third elder, Benjamin Bennett, sighed. Meanwhile, Charles Bennett’s mouth dropped open in an O shape and didn’t close for a long time.

“Second brother is so awesome, amazing!” It was younger brother David Bennett who came to his senses first, letting out a shrill cheer. Instantly, applause thundered from Charles Bennett’s branch, and soon, other Ye family members joined in with scattered claps.

“William brother, your Five-Step Fist is impressive. I’ve learned a lot.” Emily Bennett cupped her fists politely, stood up, and left.

“Hehe, Emily, I’m just more practiced, that’s all.” William Bennett gave a friendly smile.

“The second match between William Bennett and Emily Bennett, William Bennett wins.” Frank Bennett, the elder presiding over the stage, finally recovered and announced somewhat disappointedly.

“William Bennett, I’ll let you use one hand. Let’s move our first match scheduled for tomorrow to now. Do you dare to accept?” Richard Bennett shouted loudly, his expression extremely provocative.

Because today’s matches were over.

“Richard Bennett, have you no shame? My brother just finished his match. He’s exhausted, and you’re okay with that?” David Bennett cursed.

“I just fought too, only an hour earlier. Besides, I’ll let you use one hand.” Richard Bennett argued.

“No need for that, you can even use ‘four legs’ if you want. As long as all the elders agree, I have no objection.” William Bennett replied calmly, subtly comparing Richard Bennett to a four-legged beast.

“William, maybe save it for tomorrow?” Charles Bennett sounded worried.

“It’s fine. If someone wants to get beaten up early, I don’t mind.” William Bennett was full of confidence.

“You dare insult me? Elders, I request to move the match up. You all heard it, William Bennett has no objection.” Richard Bennett waved his fists, furious.

Chapter 008: Triple Pulse

“Agreed.” Frank Bennett nodded.

The match was moved up, and the tournament had already ended. Moreover, it was the Ye family’s so-called “waste” against Richard Bennett, the second-ranked elite in the Ye family’s preliminary round, so all the Ye family members gathered to watch.

“Hehehe, John Carter, do you think the first of the Three Swordsmen can knock that waste off the stage?” Andrew Carter asked with a laugh. The Three Swordsmen naturally referred to James Bennett, Edward Bennett, and Richard Bennett.

“Before, I’d have said yes, but Richard Bennett is stronger than Emily Bennett. William Bennett is sure to lose. Plus, Richard Bennett is full of anger and will definitely go all out to save face. William Bennett will be crippled!” John Carter said. “By the way, Second Boss, did you see through William Bennett’s strength?”

“His bloodline test was zero, that can’t be hidden. He probably hasn’t reached the Pulse Realm yet. But the kid has great physical strength, just brute force. Facing the dark horse Richard Bennett... hehe…” Andrew Carter smiled without saying more.

Bang!
