While the geezer was surprised that he would think that Frank was an Ascendant-ranked elite, he soon shook his head.
Frank had to be joking-after all, the geezer had never heard of such a young martial elite in Riverton or Zamri.
Still, even as the geezer's thoughts wandered, Kat finally moved against the two thugs who were flanking her on the floating platform.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a subtle grunt, she suddenly launched forward, dashing to the side of the pudgy martial artist before he could react.
"Eh?" Even as the pudgy martial artist turned and realized where Kat had moved, he tried to change the path of his attack when he felt the agony in his belly.
He looked down to find Kat's foot striking into his stomach before sending him flying.
The pudgy martial artist screamed as he crashed into the other martial artist. Then, both of them flailed for just a moment before rolling together off the edge, crashing into the lake with a loud splash.
"Pfft..." And seeing those two sleazebags knocked out in such punishing fashion, the crowd laughed and cheered. However, Kat did not move and instead turned and glared murderously across the lake, straight at Frank. "Oh..." Sensing Kat's glare, Frank could not help feeling guilty and averted his eyes.
Despite the clear distance between them and knowing that the brat could not have heard him, he somehow still felt that he was to be blamed.
Fortunately, Kat could not glare at him for too long as other martial artists started to attack her, and she needed to respond. Nonetheless, after an intense melee, five participants remained on the floating platform, with the others either knocked out or falling into the lake.
Kat was naturally one of the five, and when she returned, she demanded to know if Frank had been mocking her earlier. While Frank denied it immediately, the girl behind the geezer was rolling her eyes at him.

Scarface could tell right away that the lanky youth was no pushover And despite going all out, he only managed to secure a draw, and there were hints that he was actually losing the whole time. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesFor his part, the lanky youth could tell that Scarface was not going to make this easy for him either and quickly switched targets so as to not waste time.
Soon, he proved that he was not just adept at claw techniques-he also utilized hidden gadgets while easily escaping encirclement amid the free-for-all.
Frank's expression turned solemn, as he was surprised there was such a martial elite in Riverton.
Nonetheless, he also cleared the qualifiers, taking one of the five berths in the third group of participants.
With that, the free-for-all was over, and the singles ring match would soon follow.
During the break in between, a tall man approached Mr. Zoran. "It seems that despite Zamri being the bigger city, the martial artists there are no match for Riverton's martial artists." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAnd though he was smiling, there was a look of contempt in his eyes.
Mr. Zoran scowled in turn and retorted ever so subtly, "Don't get ahead of yourself just yet, Mr. Quaker, This doesn't show anything, because the number of participants from Riverton have outnumbered the ones from Zamri in the free-for-all anyway." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesMr. Quaker snorted in turn. "Hmph. Defiant to the last, huh? But it's clear tothat you're not keeping your job either way, Mr. Zoran. Hahaha!!!"
