Kapitel 45: The Final Showdown
"Hoo..." Dash was obviously hurt as he felt pain, but by ignoring it and focusing only on this last fight before achieving the glory he sought for the first time in his life, he kept pushing forward.
Keeping his wounded area protected, Dash observed Marcus's movements as he approached discreetly, intending to gauge his distance.
"Now!"
While everyone watched the fighters sizing each other up, they began to move, and briefly, discreet blows started to be exchanged.
Being able to reach the final signifies how strong they are in combat, but Dash, who was here for something more than just talent, didn't plan to hold back even if it meant leaving his wound unprotected.
Marcus was the first to take the initiative to be more aggressive. His facial expression was absolutely brutal as he leaped toward Dash with a front kick to his chest.
Facing a direct attack with such force, Dash let out a shout and countered using his right hand. But since his blow was blocked, he decided to again keep his distance and devise a proper route to advance.
"Much faster, I must be more aggressive..." Dash instantly reached Marcus's side and began unleashing a flurry of blows that completely overwhelmed his opponent.
While being suppressed by the fierce barrage of attacks, Marcus frowned slightly as he found it impossible to advance. He aligned his hands and, like a straight spear, skillfully maneuvered between Dash's attacks, attempting to strike his face.
Seeing a punch approaching and it being too dangerous, Dash dropped his body backward to avoid the attack. As soon as his body touched the ground, he sprung up like a coil. Without giving Marcus the chance to counter, Dash struck his stomach—not as forcefully as he wanted, but enough to win the first exchange.
"Point!"
"You're faster than I thought. You just got lucky this time!" Marcus said as he returned to his position, raising his guard again. Due to the movements of his head, a line of blood started to trickle down Dash's cheek.
But no one would stop this fight; now that they were fighting, the competition that many had dreamed of achieving in their lives was at stake, and no one was willing to interfere.
"Ready? Fight!" As soon as the referee started the match, Dash quickly advanced, not giving Marcus a break to think about how to defeat him.
On the platform above the mat, two figures intertwined as they vigorously fought, exchanging attack techniques and appropriate defenses to prolong the battle. With the help of their speed, both looked impressive as they dodged blows.
"Sam, who do you think will win?" Daniel looked at the incredible battle unfolding and asked his daughter, wanting to know her answer.
"It's hard to say..."
Sam hesitated a lot to give a clear answer to her father's question. Dash had clearly dominated all the fights until he was unexpectedly and illegally attacked by an opponent, resulting in his disqualification. Still, that didn't guarantee Dash winning the competition as he still had to defeat Marcus, and that wouldn't be an easy task.
Although Marcus didn't seem very formidable in his previous fights, he was one of the finalists, so his Karate should have something good. If that's the case, Dash's victory would be in jeopardy.
Because of that, it was quite challenging to determine who would be the winner. Still, due to all the things that had happened and how Dash never gave up, most hoped he would win.
While they spoke, the battle on the mat was gradually intensifying towards a climax. Punches and kicks were dodged, while others were blocked, causing a series of sounds that everyone could hear.
This skilled interpretation of skills lasted until Marcus was able to land a spinning kick to Dash's side, scoring a point.
"Point!"
Dash, without showing emotions, returned to his place and lowered his guard. Now, he left his head wound uncovered, returning to the stance he had always taken before.
"Fight!"
As the fight resumed, Marcus was very exhausted from the intense battle, but Dash seemed better prepared in terms of endurance, which began to play heavily against him.
"Finish it, Dash, you can do it!" Devon shouted very excitedly for the battle that Dash was fighting with all his skills.
The sudden voice that entered Dash's ears made him anticipate Marcus's attack. His style dictated waiting for the attack to return it twice as strong.
"I got you!"
Dash, who saw Marcus approaching head-on, had the opportunity to launch a kick known as a back kick. It was a famous spinning side kick that aimed to break through the opponent's defenses and hit them with force.
When Dash launched that kick, Marcus, who wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible, was hit, causing him to fall to his knees.
"Point, two to one!"
"Yes, that's how it's done!" Many of those who supported Dash and wanted to see him victorious shouted.

Kapitel 46: A Final Impact is Needed
The decisive point awarded to Dash sparked celebration from everyone, including those who had expected him to lose honorably.
"Tell me, what would happen if I hit the wound on your face?" Marcus asked as he raised his fists.
"You'd just hit me, of course you would if you could," Dash replied as he positioned himself at the other end of the mat.
Those words snapped Marcus out of a dreamy feeling that he could still win the fight. His gaze turned cold as he awaited the referee to initiate the match.
"Marcus, today I'll show you how brutal I can be, and then you'll understand that if it weren't for the wound that has limited me for a long time, you'd already be on the ground."
Dash's muscles tensed, his gaze focused, and his guard showed more aggression than ever. The position was the true Northern Dragon combat stance, which was more Kung Fu than Karate, but at this point, no one could discern the difference.
Marcus mocked Dash's ridiculous fighting stance, but as he took a step forward, he didn't know how to attack him, let alone anticipate how he would be attacked.
"Nonsense!"
At one point, Marcus took a step forward and attacked with a kick to the side, which was immediately blocked by Dash's left leg. In an instant, Dash forcefully struck a specific muscle of his opponent.
Witnessing this scene, many in the audience, unfamiliar with Karate, believed Dash's stance was magnificent, something seen only in overrated martial arts movies.
Auge!
Dash forcefully hit a specific point, planning to break down Marcus's defenses before targeting the real objective, which was to inflict damage.
Having landed the first blow, Dash prepared to defend himself, but at that moment, a second attack targeted his right shoulder.
This blow would obviously score a point, but Marcus dodged it by taking it on the underside of his shoulder.
To everyone's surprise, Dash's guard was extremely effective. How was it that no one so far had been able to decipher the trajectory of his blows?
Even Marcus's confident demeanor changed from one moment to another. He could slowly feel his muscles numbing, and it became increasingly difficult to keep up with Dash's pace. And in this instance, he finally showed fear on his face.
"You're not unique; there are stronger men, and right now, you're facing a kid."
Dash looked at Marcus, who had stopped advancing, his expression filled with confusion, surprising everyone. As he uttered those words, Dash advanced forcefully and began an offensive so rapid that it left his opponent unsure of what to do.
Zas!
Faced with Dash's sudden speed, never before demonstrated, everyone stood up and widened their eyes to see if any of those blows landed on Marcus.
"His blows aren't targeting the points; he's completely breaking down Marcus's defense..." Daniel murmured, looking bewildered.
Daniel and many connoisseurs didn't know why Dash wanted to show this level of combat just now, but what was confusion for them was a message for Frederick, Dash's father.
"Look, Dad, I'm ready for the tournament in China."
Observing the great skills demonstrated by an eleven-year-old, everyone who was here just to watch a few women's fights were overwhelmed.
Dash wasn't punching the air; each of his blows was directed at Marcus's defenses, which were becoming increasingly challenging to maintain.
"He never had a rival in this preparation tournament!" Devon exclaimed, absolutely proud of where Dash stood in martial arts.
Facing Marcus's desperate final counterattack, Dash remained calm as the motion of his hands suddenly shifted to the defensive.
At the moment he counterattacked, Marcus's arm strangely dropped down, while a violent punch came from the front again.
Thud!
The audience watched as Dash's punch clearly hit Marcus's chest, sending him flying backward out of the arena bounds, and ultimately falling to the ground, completely defeated.
An absolute silence dominated the grand venue. No one could have imagined that Marcus, who seemed to be at a considerable advantage, would be so cleanly defeated by someone smaller than him.
"Well, that's what you should have done from the beginning," Mr. Kim clenched his fists at the offspring of his teachings.
"Point, winner!"
"Yes!"
"The champion of the male division, Dash Hale!" shouted the presenter, handing him his trophy immediately.
"It was amazing!" Devon climbed onto the mat and embraced Dash, thrilled that he had won the competition that even they doubted they could win.
"This is our prize!" Dash said as he held the winner's trophy.
At this moment, Dash felt an incredible emotion in his chest. All the hard work he had put in had truly led him to a clean championship victory. He had just discovered that his skills were something more than talented; now, he had no doubts about going far in the China tournament and was even sure he could take the first place.
"Now it's my turn!" Devon stopped hugging Dash and looked at Sam with an unbroken fighting spirit.
"Well done, Dash!" Mr. Kim said as he approached.
"All of this is thanks to your teachings, Mr. Kim!" Dash said as he handed the trophy to Mr. Kim, who was one of the most crucial figures in his journey to this point.
