Feng Shin nodded to Feng Sho before bowing to the referee, Zendreyu also bowed to the referee. The referee noted both fighters were ready before handing his notepad to the judges and taking up his official position. The remaining two men from House Tilon had plotted on how to best Zendreyu before he stood up from his corner of the ring now in boxer attire. The referee returned to the center of the ring and announced the rules once more. "NO BLOWS BELOW THE BELT, NO KICKING, NO MAGIC BLASTS!! TRANSFORMATIONS, HEALING SPELLS, AND BODY REINFORCEMENT ARE ALLOWED!! NO EDGED WEAPONS!! NO POISONS, NO SPITTING, NO BITING!! THAT IS ALL, ANYTHING DEEMED AGAINST THESE RULES WILL RESULT IN AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION!! FIGHTERS AT YOUR READY!!"
With a loud yell the referee flickered his hand between the two fighters and yelled "FIGHT!!"
The two distant relatives rushed each other at the center of the ring and blows fell upon Zendreyu like a waterfall, yet oddly enough for every blow that struck his head Zendreyu flicker a sharp jab, an insane straight, or a dynamic hook and returned the damage he received to the exact spot Feng Shin applied damage to him. Unlike Zendreyu, Feng Shin's damage was mounting up and bruises began to mar his face, neck, and head. Something about Zendreyu was innately tougher than Feng Shin and Feng Sho began to have a terrible suspicion as he watched the fight in an attempt to discern Zendreyu's weaknesses.
Zendreyu's weaknesses were apparent, he wasn't fast at all. He couldn't keep up with Feng Shin's mobility allowing Feng Shin to keep up his efforts despite the iron wall Zendreyu presented. Feng Shin could leap away to catch his breath when he needed Zendreyu had to wait and anticipate. Were it not for Zendreyu's distinct counter style he wouldn't match up to Feng Shin at all.
Suddenly Feng Shin decided on a new tactic, he stopped going for head shots and started striking Zendreyu's chest and abdomen. It became a one man onslaught as Zendreyu couldn't counter the body shots. Zendreyu could only wait for openings in the barrage of strikes to get in his own hits as well. Zendreyu's left arm became a type of shield and counter as it moved defensively against blows that might impact Zendreyu's vital points.
Feng Sho and Feng Shin exchanged glances before Feng Sho yelled out "FINISH HIM!!!"
Feng Shin leapt back 10 meters in 2 steps before focusing his strength into what would be a terrifying attack. Zendreyu's body flickered with violet energy as his aura emerged and his eyes began to look like orange red flames. Feng Shin thought Zendreyu was trying to buff himself but Zendreyu had never been able to use magic outside of magic items. Feng Shin rushed Zendreyu with a mighty roar,
but once he got within 3 meters his strength all but left him leaving him wide open to a series of hooks that took Feng Shin down.
Feng Sho carried a look of disbelief an horror as Feng Shin collapsed and the referee ran over and called the match in Zendreyu's favor. "WINNER IS ZENDREYU!! Preliminary matches will continue in 2 days. All contestants exit the rings and apply for your next set of matches."
Zendreyu looked down upon Feng Sho with a heart filled with childish spite. He said not a single word but Feng Sho could feel what Zendreyu's eyes were telling him. "I AM GOING TO GET YOU NEXT!!"
Feng Sho knew what he would have to do when his match with Zendreyu came. Feng Sho unlike his younger brothers was an Elite from the House of Tilon so he knew a few secret arts that would allow his fighting abilities to soar. He left the area with the rest of the fighters on standby.
Feng Sho carried his brothers away, soon he would arrange their revenge.
