Chapitre 64: Getting around
Soon it was Tral's turn to fight and his opponent was a short stocky woman with a serious expression. She stood in the ring in a sumo stance with her legs spread apart breathing heavily.
Tral walked into the ring casually without any stance and raised an eyebrow at her before saying "so where is my challenger, is he standing behind your fat ass?"
The made her face immediately go red with rage as she responded with a yell to strick out her fist in a punch from where she stood. From that strike a shock wave if condensed air came towards Tral at high speed forcing him to dodge at the last minute.
He laughed at this "Oh so you think you can hit someone with that? Maybe you should try aiming or moving that chunky body a little faster cause otherwise this will be so boring… come on then I'll just use my legs which you don't seem to know how to" He claims as he puts his hand behind his back to start to do a weird form of riverdance to taunt her more.
Her rage increased again resulting in her sending out several consecutive punches that filled the air with these ranged attacks while Tral spun and weaved through them as if he was having fun.
She stopped after a bit but as soon as she did Tral moved forward in a sprint to close the gap between them forcing her to send out more attacks to keep him dodging.
"What you getting tired already? I know you must not exercise much but this is sad as we just started. Are you sure you're supposed to be in this floor cause the other fighters seem better." Tral egged her on as he kept dodging.
In her anger she sped up that attacks further fulling the with rippling air leaving little room to dodge but Tral leaped high into the air above this torrent to a flip through the sky above the ring.
She smiled at this to send out both fists at once making a greater ball of compressed air towards him yelling "Dodge this you blabber mouth!"
Tral suddenly spins his body around by this attack to use it to push off of its side with his arms to then say "I'll show you where the blubber is" right before using his gained momentum to land a drop kick from the sky directly into her mouth.
She had used up most of her energy in the previous assault while being completely stunned by his actions that she didn't even block so when she received the move head on it resulted in a complete knockout that left her unconscious and drooling on the ground.
Tral elegantly backflips into a landing before casually walking off stage to give his friends a thumbs up as the judge declares him the winner.
"Well that was easy, how about we get some food and ask around about the new arrives before taking a few more matches?" Tral says to his friend who just shakes his head "Ya that sounds great but one of these days that big mouth of yours is going to get you in hot water you know."
The pair leave for the dinning area and also fined out that there is a decent ranking system set up for anyone to check out there.
They scour the listings but don't see Gè Míng anywhere so they assume he had been taken for the bounty on his head from the Divine sect. What they did find was another member of the seven disciples of the Divine sect leader, a lady that went by kindness who was ranked on the one hundred and fifth floor.
Tral figured if he could get to the higher rankings then their blood samples would reveal more secrets that might point them in the right direction.
While in the dinning hall a delivery worker came by with a vial of his opponents blood which he hastily drank before proclaiming "Ah I knew it, she had to stand still as she channels energy through the ground in that stupid pose to get her technique to work! How limiting and pointless to practice although with some effort I may be able to use some of the theories behind it to channel my own energy into a ranged attack but it's far from ready to use in combat, so disappointing."
Suddenly a stranger bumped into Tral violently which he was mostly able to mitigate at the last second as he spun around.
A tall muscular man with a ponytail yelled at him "Watch where you are you filthy vampire, it's disgusting that such lowlife scum would be around where people eat".
The man's two companions laughed snobbishly at this as if it were the funniest thing they had ever heard before the trio started to move off.
Tral loudly replied "I was unaware that bumbling fools could practice martial arts but I guess they let anyone in as there are so many weak fighters in this tower."
The three immediately stop into their tracks to turn back as the pony tail man calls out "What did you just say you blood sack piece of trash?"
Tral puts up his hands to apologize "I'm so sorry I didn't know you were deaf as well but I would hate to repeat myself as I fear that you would be too stupid to understand."
The man burst into a wrathful spite throwing a rapid strike that Tral was barely able to avoid which shattered the table behind him.
The man would have followed it up with more but security came quickly to remind everyone that there was no fighting outside of the ring allowed in the tower.
Tral's response further increased the mans ire "I would be glad to fight this fool if there was any value in it".
He laughed with anger at this ridiculous vampire "I'm a warrior on the sixty eighth floor you twat there is no point in fighting a pathetic dweeb like you anyway."
Tral wasn't done with his taunts which caused Darick to facepalm at this situation "Ya you go run back to your floor to hide like a coward, bet your blood tastes as shitty as your comments. Oh look at me clearly so strong that I can't even handle someone on a lower floor without needing security." Tral follows this up by doubling over to cackle outrageously much to the building wrath of the three that thought they would bully him.
One of the followers a slender gentleman in refined clothes yells back "Oh you want a fight you mosquito bug, then I'll challenge you on the sixty first floor but If I win you have to play up ten times the regular victory cost if you dare."
Tral quickly stops his laughter to look the man in the eye with a smile "all righty then but you have to do the same for me only my price is in blood."
