Chapter 72 Is This A Championship?

On the ring, Jack looked at Dingo nonchalantly, completely ignoring his provocative gaze. After all, if this guy was not as good as scarred tiger, how could Jack even have time to waste on him?

The earlier he finished the competition, the earlier he would receive his rewards. So, Jack was simply waiting for the bell to ring to indicate the start of the….match? Jack was quite doubtful about that considering that it was going to be a one way beating.

It was not that Jack was arrogant or disdainful, it was just that it was the truth. After all, with his current capabilities, he had yet to meet his match.

The five minutes of wait was to let those that wanted to bet to place their bets. There was data about the two in the ring being displayed on the screens in the air.

Of course, the information was only the basic ones that they had given during their registration. Dingo's information showed his performance during the past four months that he had been here.

On the other hand, Jack's part showed that he was a newbie and this would be his first match. In other words, he had never fought in a competition before and this would be his first debut!

For this exact reason, Jack's odds were high. And, there were even less people betting on him to win the match. And these were those that wanted to try betting on the dark horse. If it just so happened that Jack was the dark horse, it was a sure bet that they would make a fortune.

When Dingo saw that Jack didn't even seem to care about his presence at all, he felt that he was being looked down upon. As a man with his own pride, how could he allow some nobody to tarnish and mess with it? He has been fighting in this ring for four months now.

And two of those months he had been able to get to the last round of the preliminaries. This time, he was trying to go for the chance of reaching the top eight.

But, in the first round, there was a small opponent that didn't put him into his eyes? How could he not be angry?

He looked at Jack as he said, "Listen here kid, you better surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm going to make sure that I break each and every bone of yours.".

His words weren't said in a low voice but in one that those that were closer at a range of a hundred meters could hear him. And with the host being closer with the mic, although it wasn't loud, the crowd could hear these words clearly.

As a result, a commotion rose among the crowd. There were some that wanted Jack to give up already while others felt their blood boiling at the thought of how Jack's bones would be broken.

When Jack heard Dingo's words, he frowned. He once again wondered, 'What's up with people nowadays. They just can't shut their big mouths at all. They simply throw around their words without thinking or knowing about who they were facing. Or could those who came to this arena be barbarians that didn't like to use their brains?'

Seeing that Jack only frowned but said nothing, Dingo wasn't pleased at all. He spoke again, "Since it seems that you're so much reluctant, I will have to teach you a good lesson. I'll remove that mask off your face after I strip the clothes off of your body. I want to see how you're going to face your girl in the future."

There was a sinister smile on his face as he gazed at Jack. He was sure that he could be able to do these things as long as he overwhelmed Jack. And, although he'd witnessed Jack pushing scarred tiger's hand to the side easily, he simply thought that it was due to scarred tiger not being prepared and not using his full strength.

Furthermore, he would attack Jack and absolutely no chance to surrender in the ring.

The moment that the ladies amongst the spectators heard his words, they blushed shyly. But, there was a glint of expectation in their eyes. There were even some of them that were shouting in support of Dingo's words, supporting this action.

Jack's eyes turned cold the moment that he heard Dingo's words and the cheers from the crowd. His lips twisted into a cold smile as he gazed at Dingo.

'Since you're so much into embarrassing me, it won't hurt to embarrass you too, right?' Jack thought to himself.

Although he wanted to make sure that he finished the fight faster, there was no way that he could stop punishing someone. Using three to five minutes to embarrass someone wasn't that much to him, he could afford it.

Dong!

At this moment, the gong sound echoed again. And with that, the host spoke, "The betting period is over. Now, it's time to witness the match. In the count of three, two, one…Fight!"

The moment that the host started counting, he had already began retreating from the duo. By the time that he said one, he was already closer to the edge of the ring.

And upon shouting the word 'Fight!', he had already turned heels and fled from the ring. His movements insinuated a round of laughter and mockery from the spectators.

It wasn't that he was being chased from the ring. It was just that there was a time that the host who was the referee as well was caught up in a fight between two fighters. In the end, he was crippled after he received a fierce kick on his left leg.

Nowadays, those that were hosting the competition made sure to rush out of the ring before the fights began. They always judged the match from out of the ring. Although it wasn't that easy, it was safer.

The moment that the host allowed the fight to begin, Dingo wasted no time at all and attacked Jack by throwing a punch. With his frame, the fist was big and heavy. If this smashed into an unprepared man, it would definitely break a few bones if the ones that were hit were the ribs.

Seeing the punch coming his way, Jack decided not to counter it at all. Instead, the moment that the punch got closer to him, he simply shifted to the side slightly, avoiding the punch. After that, he didn't move again, he simply stood there as he looked at Dingo.

On the other hand, neither Dingo nor the spectating crowd had expected that Dingo would 'miss' a stagnant target. Of course, this was the way that most of the spectators thought.

But, for Dingo and the other fighters and the big bosses with sharp eyes, they had noticed that Jack moved a little to avoid the punch. The movement was well timed and precise.

Although surprised, Dingo threw another punch. But, the result was still the same, he still 'missed' again and again.

"What the heck is this Dingo doing? Does he think that we're in a circus?"

"Maybe he thinks so, considering that the way that he's attacking is like an angry and violent monkey that is attacking without a plan."

"Can this match be rigged?"

"How can that be possible? I don't think that I have ever seen the championship matches being rigged."

"You guys sure are idiots. Just look at Dingo's expression. It shows that he seems frustrated that his punches are missing. Look at that pot's bottom face of his, it looks like he's going to burst from anger."

"Now that you mention it, I can see that. It seems that there's something wrong with this JK Silver."

"Heh, country bumpkins that can't judge what they're seeing. Can't you see Silver there making small movements? He's dodging the punches with the most subtle movements that you careless bunch aren't observing."

"Your sister is a careless bunch! Do you think I didn't see it? It was just that I wasn't saying anything."

"Whatever, just suit yourself."

Dingo on the other hand, upon seeing that his punches couldn't touch Jack, he immediately resorted to throwing kicks. He was someone that had been in tens of fights even before joining the arena. So, he knew how to react.

Although he was angry, he didn't dare to be careless at all. He threw a kick that formed an arc heading towards Jack's head.

This time, Jack knew that he would have to make a slightly bigger movement. So, as the kick approached from his left, although from other people's perspective it was fast, in his eyes, the kick wasn't fast at all.

He simply bent his body backwards, allowing the foot that was set on hitting his head pass before raising his body.

Surprisingly, ever since the fight began, Jack hadn't moved from his spot. Only his upper part of the body moved but his feet remained on the same spot.

Upon missing, Dingo threw another kick. But, the result was still the same. Jack easily dodged his attacks. This made him frustrated in that his anger began clouding his thoughts.

He decided to go for Jack's legs next. It was also at this moment that Jack thought that he had played with Dingo enough. He thought that it was time for him to eliminate him.

As the leg swept towards his feet, he took a few steps backwards evading the sweep. And just like that, Jack continued evading the attacks while moving.

Dingo on the other hand had already gone crazy as he attacked without thinking. His mind was only thinking of pummeling Jack to a pulp.

He jumped forward as he threw a punch towards Jack's face. But suddenly, Jack moved two steps to the side. Since Dingo had struck forward with great momentum, he failed to stop himself when he found that his body lacked somewhere to step on.

And before long, face first, he dropped out of the ring. It was only when he felt the pain of dropping face first from a height of one meter and great force that he regained his senses.

And at this moment, the while arena was silent, nobody speaking as they couldn't accept the results that they were seeing.

But, they couldn't be blamed as even Dingo himself found it hard to accept the fact that he'd been defeated in the most embarrassing manner there was.

"Is this a championship really? I don't think you should participate in a championship competition, you're only demeaning the meaning of the word championship." At this moment, Jack's words reached Dingo's ears, telling him that everything was true.
