After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Nina Jacobs’s Select

"Don’t worry. I take every opponent seriously,"

"but they have to be worthy of being my opponent first."

Samuel Sullivan’s Wood Element Superpower flared around him, and a dozen vines shot out in all directions!

"Come on! Let me see how a team that only got here on a bye gets utterly thrashed!"

All the vines lashed out, their power seemingly immense, but they lost their target in midair.

His opponent had vanished!

Samuel Sullivan quickly retracted the vines to protect himself, guarding against a surprise attack.

"Making it to the top 12 is no simple feat, that’s for sure."

From the special viewing section, Justin Stone commented with praise.

"It’s not hard to use a Superpower. The hard part is anticipating your opponent’s next move at any moment on the battlefield."

Samuel Sullivan had clearly anticipated that his opponent might use a Speed Element Superpower to get close to him.

But the next second, a fist came out of nowhere and landed squarely on his chin.

Samuel Sullivan was nearly knocked to the ground.

The entire audience stared wide-eyed. It all happened too fast. When did Holden Shaw even get inside the barrier?!

Seeing Holden Shaw suddenly appear inside his ring of vines, Samuel Sullivan quickly tightened the Wood Element Vines.

"You walked right into my trap!"

Samuel Sullivan growled, gritting his teeth.

Several wood thorns sprouted from the vines. As long as he could trap Holden Shaw, death was certain!

Just then, however, he heard a soft chuckle from a distance.

"What are you doing over there?"

Holden Shaw asked from several meters away, a smile on his face as he watched Samuel Sullivan still trying to furiously attack thin air.

Hearing the waves of laughter from the stands, Samuel Sullivan’s face instantly flushed red with humiliation.

Volleys of wood thorns and serrated flying leaves shot toward his opponent once more.

But Holden Shaw’s figure once again dodged with ease. From the stands, the audience could only see a blur moving at high speed around the perimeter of the arena.

"Once I get my hands on you, you’re dead!"

Seeing that it was impossible to even touch his opponent, Samuel Sullivan sent his vines spreading out in all directions again, their length reaching the edges of the field.

The arena was divided into several sections, greatly restricting movement.

At the same time, an incredibly fast vine shot toward Holden Shaw’s side!

However, before the vine could even reach him, Samuel Sullivan’s eyes widened in shock. Holden Shaw had somehow leaped onto the vine itself!

BAM!

Using the vine as a path, Holden Shaw dashed forward and landed a solid kick right on Samuel Sullivan’s head!

"If you had run into a speed-type zombie out in the wild, you’d be dead by now."

With that said, he flipped down from the vine, his movements unhurried and graceful.

"When you run into a speed-type zombie you can’t beat, the first thing you should do is strengthen your defenses."

BAM!

With another punch, Holden Shaw knocked Samuel Sullivan back to the ground just as he was trying to get up again.

"Your attacks aren’t weak, but they’re too scattered."

As wood thorns materialized in midair, Holden Shaw tilted his head to dodge one while still speaking, then casually caught several more with one hand.

"This kid... He’s surprisingly a good guy."

Ansel Warner remarked, unable to help himself as he watched the arena.

’Is he giving a live tutorial?’

Myra Lawson, who was beside him, smiled. "It’s very much her style."

’To win with skill, but not to ridicule others. Just as you’d expect from one of Stella’s people.’

’Her?’

Landon Hayes looked down at the arena. ’Is she talking about Nina Jacobs?’

The match ultimately ended in a victory for Stella. Although Samuel Sullivan refused to concede, Holden Shaw had beaten him so badly he couldn’t even get to his feet.

It was only when the referee announced the result that everyone present gradually realized something.

"Did you guys notice? That Holden Shaw from Stella never once drew his blade!"

"Gods, I wanted to see how a Speed Element Superpower User fights with a blade! I heard a speed-type who can use a blade can kill without a trace!"

"You think maybe because this is just a tournament, he wasn’t even going all out?"

"..."

Listening to the crowd’s chatter, Alaric Fletcher couldn’t help but chime in.

"If Holden had used his blade, that guy wouldn’t have lasted three seconds."

His own teammates knew. It wasn’t just that Holden Shaw wasn’t going all out; he hadn’t even used half of his true strength.
