Chapter 400

Keira was startled.

….

Her expression grew more solemn; she hadn’t an ounce of contempt, and she exerted all her strength to meet Erick’s fist!

Seeing this scene, Matias was immediately startled and shouted, “Get out of the way! Erick’s brute strength is all in his fists. How can you block it?!”

Those words made Keira panic.

She couldn’t block it?

When her master taught her, he always told her that offense was the best defense!

But the punch was already thrown. Although she still had time to pull back and dodge, there was no need…

Thinking of this, Keira still used all her strength and pushed out with her palm!

“Bang!”

Erick’s fist struck into Keira’s palm…

Matias abruptly closed his eyes, almost foreseeing that Keera’s arm would dislocate and she would be sent flying!

But the anticipated scream didn’t come…

Matias slowly opened his eyes for a peek and saw Keira also a bit stunned. She was staring blankly at Erick’s fist, then at his face.

Then, she pushed again!

Erick immediately stepped back, but Keira’s feet didn’t move a bit!

Keira was surprised.

The people below were also stunned, and then Jackson started shouting, “Erick, what are you doing? Are you showing mercy to women now? Take her down! Teach that bitch a lesson!”

Keira suddenly realized something.

Erick wasn’t that powerful after all.

Was it possible that he couldn’t bear to watch Jackson’s behavior, so he deliberately held back?

Thinking of this, Keira looked at Erick with a softer gaze. She decided that, in this case, there was no need to use her full strength…

Meanwhile, Erick gathered his energy and charged at her again.

His fierce appearance looked pretty convincing!

Keira caught his fist again with barely any effort. It really was a show for Jackson!

She immediately smiled at Erick and pushed him away, saying, “Thanks for your kindness, but I must win this match, and I have my reasons that compel me to win. You don’t have to hold back anymore!”

Erick was confused.

At that moment, all sorts of questions went through his mind!

What the hell was that?

He wasn’t letting her win!

Erick couldn’t help glancing at the audience, only to see Jackson looking at him with a very unkind gaze. He hastily explained, “I didn’t! I used all my strength!”

Jackson glared at him venomously. “Okay, Erick, I didn’t expect you to be so deceitful! What? Did you get charmed by this woman’s face, too? Go beat her up and punish her!”

Erick didn’t know what to say.

He really had used all his strength!

To prove his words, he waved his fists and rushed at Keira again, but she only waved her hand.

It seemed she only used a fraction of her strength to block his attack, and then she looked at him with a kind smile again. “Are you sure you’re not using your full strength? Thank you very much.”

Erick was dumbfounded.

Then, he was gently punched by his opponent and knocked off the stage.

Being knocked off the stage was also considered losing the competition.

Erick was dumbfounded.

Did he lose?

He actually lost!

Looking back at the stands, the slender woman was still smiling warmly at him. “Thank you for yielding.”

Erick was speechless. Stunned, he turned his head to see Jackson already in front of him, raising his fist and viciously punching him in the face!

“Bang!”

Jackson’s punch landed on his face. “You good-for-nothing scum! Do you not even listen to me now? When did you take a fancy to that bitch? To yield to her so much! Is this a martial arts competition or are you playing house? Even children pretend better than you!”

Keira jumped down from the competition stage and frowned as she spoke, “Jackson, don’t go too far. Erick is just fed up with your domineering arrogance! There’s nothing between him and me!”

Erick was dumbfounded. He immediately spoke up, “I didn’t, I…”

“Slap!”

Another fierce slap to his face cut off Erick’s words, and Jackson stretched out his finger, pointing at him. “Fine! I’ll remember this!!”

Jackson turned and left with his men. Erick didn’t know what to say. He was going crazy! He glared at Keira and angrily said, “Why did you lie!”

He had just lost two teeth and spoke with a whistle due to the gap. Keira fell silent. She sighed as she looked at Erick. “Sorry, I can’t act. I exposed you.”

Erick was speechless. He looked around at the onlookers and knew that the conversation between the two of them would definitely reach Jackson’s ears, and he felt utterly terrified.

Keira, however, seemed oblivious to this and instead walked over to Matias. Matias couldn’t help but size her up. “Are you okay? Did Erick really go easy on you?”

Keira immediately looked at Erick, and seeing him giving her a pleading look, she quickly nodded and gestured with her hand, indicating she understood. She then said, “How could that be? I’ve become stronger!”

It seemed like Matias caught on to her intent and immediately nodded. “That’s right, in half a year, you went from a good-for-nothing to an expert! That’s truly amazing. Erick is… impressive!”

Erick was speechless. Everyone had seen the little gestures between the two, and their poor acting skills were on full display. Could the two of them be any more ostentatious?! Jackson would doubt them even more!! Erick cried inwardly.

Keira, on the other hand, walked away pleased. If Erick would let her pass, she might soon enter the Inner Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple! Then, having accomplished cooperation with the Zhou family, only the Gill family would be left…

Well, the Gill family…

Keira rubbed her chin, deep in thought when suddenly, someone appeared in front of her. She looked up to see that it was none other than Elder Grant. At this moment, Elder Grant was looking at her with a burning gaze, circling around her.

After a while, Elder Grant grabbed her wrist. “You’re a prodigy, truly a prodigy!” The Outer Sect Disciples practiced martial arts mostly for fun and couldn’t even tell if Erick was really holding back or faking it, but how could these things escape his eyes?! Keira had ordinary bones and even mediocre traits as a child. Who would’ve thought she would grow up to be a prodigy?!

He had misjudged her! Luckily, he had found her again! Even though he had never seen such a person before, Elder Grant would never allow any talent to be buried in the Freeman Sect, so he excitedly pulled Keira’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ve spoken to the Sect Leader already, and I’ll take you to see him for Bone Assessment!”

Upon hearing this, Keira’s eyes suddenly lit up.
