"Don't be careless. Based on the intelligence we've gathered, the opponent may have hidden his strength in previous games," Zachary, sitting on the other side of Christina, spoke up, echoed by Bernie.

"Yes, the intelligence collected by Sandy indicates that Woodrow was killed in a very short time. Even if it was due to carelessness, it shows that the opponent has hidden his strength in past matches," Bernie added seriously.

Christina didn't speak. After receiving Sandy's answer, her eyes returned to the central ring.

Her facial expressions were well-controlled and didn't show any changes, but when Christina looked at Ethan, her eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent.

If it weren't for the cautious habits she had developed over the years, she would have already sought to avenge her brother in a fight to the death.

"Hold on, Lance, your sister will avenge you soon..." Christina murmured in her heart, looking at Ethan in the ring with even sharper and more serious eyes.

**In the Arena**

After Ethan appeared, his opponent, Jim, soon followed.

Jim was a man in his early thirties, wearing a vest and spiked metal gloves on his hands.

Once both entered the ring, Ethan and Jim locked eyes, sizing each other up.

"Though I don't know how you offended them, since they've offered such a high price, you can't blame me," Jim said, looking at Ethan with fiery eyes.

Jim's heart raced at the thought of earning a large reward if he could kill or even injure Ethan.

"Hmm?"

Ethan keenly noticed something unusual in Jim's gaze, prompting him to narrow his eyes slightly.

"The players are in position..."

At this moment, the referee stepped between the two, loudly explaining the rules of the game as usual. Once finished, he raised his right hand.

"I declare this game officially begun!"

After announcing the start, the referee quickly stepped aside, clearing the field.

Simultaneously, Jim, who had been waiting impatiently, sprang into action.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, Jim's muscles swelled under his vest as he swung his right fist, aiming directly at Ethan from a distance.

Mid-punch, a black round hole suddenly appeared in front of his fist, and then his fist disappeared into it.

"What is this...?"

Ethan's eyes remained focused on Jim. He immediately noticed the anomaly in Jim's attack, and simultaneously, he keenly detected a sudden sound of air being displaced behind his head.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, Ethan moved swiftly, traversing several meters as if teleporting.

Where Ethan had stood, a black round hole appeared in mid-air, extending Jim's fist, which punched exactly where Ethan's head had been.

"Transmuter's Nen..."

Ethan glanced at the spot he'd just vacated. Seeing the sudden appearance of the fist arm, he quickly recognized the nature of Jim's ability.

Each category of Nen has distinct characteristics.

For example, Transmuter's Nen often involves telekinesis, spatial manipulation, etc.

The Nen Jim used was highly characteristic of a Transmuter, allowing Ethan to easily determine Jim's type.

"Aha!"

Jim shouted again, delivering another punch.

After Ethan dodged, Jim didn't relent. Instead, he quickly retracted his right fist, clenched his left, and punched again.

The fist vanished into the black round hole that appeared mid-flight, while another identical hole opened beside Ethan, and the fist extended to strike Ethan's temple.

"En!!!"

Nen energy transformed into a transparent spherical shape, expanding to a five-meter diameter, covering all angles.

Ethan keenly detected the fist appearing next to him. Unfazed, he moved swiftly, avoiding the spiked punch with ease.

"Let's see how many times you can dodge!"

Jim's eyes turned cruel as Ethan dodged his two punches. He immediately launched a flurry of jabs, his fists creating afterimages.

Black round holes appeared repeatedly, swallowing Jim's fists and reappearing around Ethan, launching a relentless assault.

"There it is, the 'Moving Fist,' Jim's signature move. Amid Jim's fierce offensive, Ethan seems to be in trouble!"

The commentator's excited voice echoed throughout the venue.

While the Sky Arena's commentary avoids revealing Nen, it describes it with certain moves.

The wind from the punches howled.

Not only was the direction of Jim's punches unpredictable, but their force was formidable.

Especially with the spiked gloves, which further enhanced their lethality.

Of course, the most important factor was the Nen infusion.

Jim's offensive was fierce, but Ethan's defensive tactics were equally impressive.

Using "En" to sense his surroundings, Ethan detected every fist's appearance, swiftly dodging each one.

Executing small, precise movements, Ethan seemed to dance on the edge of a blade, using his agility to evade Jim's punches repeatedly, never once getting hit.

Whizzing!

Suddenly, while dodging, Ethan shot out two 'spider threads' from his hands, one left, one right, anchoring them to the thick stone slabs of the arena.

With a sudden burst of speed, Ethan rushed forward, escaping Jim's offensive, and brought his arms together.

Boom boom!!!

Two loud crashes followed. In tandem with Ethan's movements, the 'spider threads' contracted, lifting the stone slabs from the ring and hurling them towards Jim with tremendous force.

"Damn!"

Jim's expression shifted slightly, his face a mix of shock and anger.

He didn't expect Ethan to not only dodge his swift attacks but also find the opportunity to counterattack.
