Colin behaved exactly how Jude had behaved. They were both high-grade Spiritual Emperors with high social status so it was no wonder they acted so arrogant and contemptuous towards anyone weaker than them.
As soon as those words came out of Colin's mouth, the corners of Rocky's lips curled up slightly. The latter suddenly rushed out and appeared next to the former in the blink of an eye. Colin was surprised that Rocky had the initiative to attack him. Logically speaking, the weaker man usually wouldn't face his stronger adversary head-on unless he wanted to doom himself.
However, Colin had second thoughts once his opponent presented himself. He decided to show him no mercy.
"Eat my fists!" The moment Rocky approached, Colin's fists shook and several waves of invisible energy were released from them.
In a single moment, the rampant energy exploded in front of Rocky and instantly engulfed him.
However, he appeared to put in no effort to defend himself at all. It was as if he was too helpless to protect himself.
Colin sneered upon seeing Rocky, who was nothing more than a loser in his eyes. It was baffling to think that Jude would lose to this guy!
The spectators shook their heads as well. They all shared the same thoughts—that Rocky grew to be too arrogant after winning his battle against Jude due to sheer luck. As they witnessed him look down on Colin, they knew he was being ridiculous and overestimating himself!
Just as everyone was sure Rocky would lose, the unexpected thing happened. Before Colin could summon all his strength, he suddenly could no longer move. He felt as if his wrists were bound together by some strange, invisible force.
"What's... What's going on?" Colin blurted out in disbelief. He began to panic as he couldn't figure out why he still couldn't move his hands freely.
Almost at the same time, the spiritual power that surrounded Rocky was suddenly pushed away by a strong wind. Rocky walked out leisurely and looked at Colin with a sinister smile on his face.
The onlookers were stunned once they took a closer look and discovered that Rocky survived Colin's attack in one piece, safe and sound.
"You can't move your hands now, right? I never thought a high-grade Spiritual Emperor like you would commit such a stupid mistake. This proved you really are dumb," the now confident Rocky sneered.
"What... What did you do to me?" Colin shouted furiously. It wasn't until that moment when he realized Rocky was behind all of this.
"Well, I didn't really do anything. I simply used a few needles once you attacked me," Rocky revealed. It turned out that the only reason Rocky intentionally appeared beside Colin earlier was to get him within a close enough distance to take advantage of his arrogance. He shot black needles that inconspicuously pierced his wrists. Rocky knew he would be proud of turning Colin, an expert in fist strikes, immobile in his wrists.
"Shame on you! How dare you use dirty tricks on me in the middle of a battle?" Colin cursed, his face contorted in shame and fury.
"Haha! If only you weren't so egotistical and took me seriously then you could've avoided all of this. Your arrogance has brought you here," Rocky retorted immediately.
Colin's rough face immediately turned gloomy after he heard those words from Rocky.
The onlookers present now began to whisper among each other. Although Rocky's method was indeed questionable, what he just revealed did make perfect sense. If it wasn't for Colin's arrogance which made him look down on his opponent, he wouldn't have fallen into such a basic trap in the first place. This led everyone to conclude that Colin was too careless!
