The opponent finally came to his senses and immediately channeled his positive energy to defend himself against Jasmine's attack.
However, it was already too late. His eyes widened in horror as her slim but powerful hand landed heavily on his chest.
Her violent strike sent him flying across the fighting ring, and a spurt of blood gushed out from his mouth. He landed on the other end of the fighting ring and writhed in pain, unable to stand up anymore.
At that moment, the referee announced her victory.
Such a result was totally out of the audience's expectation. Instead of cheering for her, they fell into a heated discussion, and all of a sudden, Jasmine became the hot topic among the crowd.
Tom was equally surprised by her achievement. "I never thought that Miss Zhuo would be so powerful! Well, she's Brother Fade's disciple after all. She is formidable."
Lillian's lips puckered as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "What's so great about her performance? She tricked her opponent with her good looks and then snuck an attack on him. That's cheating. I told you she had no actual strength."
Her remarks were mean and filled with envy. Meanwhile, many of the spectators shook their heads as they expressed their pity.
"That guy was totally hypnotized by her beauty. It seemed like he had forgotten to defend himself. That's why he was easily defeated by only one strike. What a joke!"
"He couldn't even beat a woman. How can he call himself a martial artist?"
"Haha! That's easy for you to say. Would you be able to resist a beauty like Jasmine if it was you?"
"She's smart. She knows how to put her advantage to good use! However, she won't go far with these tricks."
Jasmine's tense facial expression finally turned into a grin after winning the first round of the competition. She left the fighting ring and waved at Fade.
He quickly rose from his seat and gave her a thumbs- up. "Good job! Keep it up. You will definitely win the upcoming rounds," he said as he clapped his hands.
The first round of the competition was over in no time. It was time for the second round.
Similarly, the participants who were qualified for the next round would draw lots, and two consecutive numbers would fight against each other.
This time, Jasmine got the number 16, which meant that it would be her turn to compete relatively quickly.
Soon, it was her turn. She was already waiting for her opponent on the stage before the host announced her name.
Contestant number 15 entered the fighting ring. Fade and Jasmine raised their eyebrows in surprise as they realized who the fighter was.
Jasmine's opponent for the second round was none other than Halge, one of Tom's friends.
"It's you!" She exclaimed.
Halge smirked as he looked her in the eye. He dipped his chin like a gentleman and greeted, "Miss Zhuo, we meet again!"
She tilted her chin and glared at him grimly. "Cut the crap and let's begin!"
Halge chuckled and shook his head. "Well, you see, Miss Zhuo, I've already reached the middle stage of Black Level, but you are only a beginner. You are definitely no match for me."
He smacked his lips and said, "I don't want to hurt you, Miss Zhuo. Thus, I have a suggestion."
"What is it?" She asked.
He smiled and replied, "It's simple. Believe it or not, I don't care about this competition at all. Thus, it doesn't matter whether I win this round or not."
