The Survivor and the System
Chapter 33:Jordan's defeat!
With that announcement, everyone's gazes turned to the two youths on the platform who were in demand. Everyone was curious about this young man who had created a miracle after years of paralysis. Does he possess the Combatant technique with the same talent that he possesses in Spirit cultivation? Does he have the same frightening learning speed?
On the Guest Platform, John Collin furrowed his brows as he looked at Edward on stage with a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face. Although Edward's spirit level had grown beyond John Collin's expectations, he had never seen Edward go to the Combat Techniques Pavilion and search for the Combat Techniques, nor had he ever seen him practice the Combat Techniques at all.
One must note that the training of the Combatant Technique is different from the training of Spirit. If one were to learn the Low Emperor level Fighter Technique, all that was required was his own hard work – understood only through trial and error. An intermediate or even high-level technique, however, would require more effort, it required personal instruction from a Clan Engineering Instructor. For the past few years, John Collin had never heard of Edward approaching one of the clan's instructors to learn the Combat Technique. On the other hand, Jordan routinely sought them out to learn the techniques.
With John Collin's understanding, the Late Stage of Jordan Body Formation had already mastered three intermediate levels and one high-level Emperor Combat techniques. One of those techniques would put him one step ahead of every fighter on the same level. It seemed like he knew that Edward would be harmed in this battle.
"Ha ha's. Clan Leader Collin, what are you going to say? Is victory possible for the young master, Edward?."Next to John Collin. Yolanda Jonson, whose eyes were fixed on the stands, asked with a gentle smile.
John Collin calmed his anger towards Jordan and calmly said.“Edward was not yet proficient with the Combat Techniques at the moment. Furthermore he had just reached the Perfect Stage, while Jordan had reached the Late stage for over a year. It's a pity, but I'm worried that the chances of my son winning won't be too high."
"Oh, really?."Yolanda slowly banged her long eyelashes, her alluring eyes sweeping over as she stared lazily at the quiet black-clothed youth on the stage. Her lips curved upwards with a small smile, giving her a pretty face, as she said."I don't know why, but I'm very confident in young master Edward. I think he can claim victory in this fight."
John Collin was somewhat surprised, surprised at his confidence. He paused for a moment before smiling and shaking his head."Let's hope Yolanda's words come true."

Facing Edward who was still standing, Jordan sneered and clenched both of his fists as he took an aggressive stance."I admit you have risen rapidly from the last time we fought in the Magic Beast Mountain range, but why. If I could kill you back then, I could do it again!."
With that, his spirit faintly flowed through his body as he dashed forward, giving him a more menacing look.
Not a word was spoken, Jordan's feet bursting from the ground bringing himself close to Edward. And, without the slightest hesitation, Jordan carried both of his fists: each of his nails were shiny like metal
Standing there, less than half a meter away from Edward, Jordan stopped. His right hand took the form of a claw and slammed into Edward's neck."Intermediate Emperor Level Combat Technique: Blood-Sucking Claws!."
Edward saw the claw approaching with indifference. He slowly raised one of his palms and a faint spirit light wrapped around his palm before it collided with the Blood Sucking Claw.
It was a Low Emperor Level Technique: Storm Splitting Site! The one Edward took from the clan's Combat Techniques pavilion.
To learn that, it required the strength of the High Stage Body Formation.
Bang out!
A low voice rang out on the stage, the wind spreading around the square.
Sensing the overwhelming pressure from Edward's palm, Jordan's face fell down as if he had been physically beaten. He then staggered back 10 steps before stopping himself.
There, watching from the terrace above, John Collin gazed down in amazement. At his side, Yolanda smiled sweetly. He observed attentively, his red lips gently clinging onto his white tea cup, slowly sipping on the tea.
"This child .. he is truly a treasure .."Yolanda pondered, her charming lips sipping the cup once more.
"What. Boy, you can too!."Jordan said as he rubbed the sore part in the seal with his hand, his face paled as he stared furiously.
The techniques of the Fighters they both practiced were indeed at the same level, but the spirit level that Edward showed was the perfect stage. Of course Edward would have the upper hand when the collision happened.
Jordan's face trembled as he saw Edward ignoring him, his jaw clamping tightly as he darted once more toward Edward.
With his palms stretched out, Edward narrowed his eyes at the moving Jordan and let his mouth turn into a cruel grin.
His right hand opened slowly then closed suddenly. A strong attraction emerged from his palm the Low Earth Level Combatant Technique: The Sucking Hand!
Seeing Edward's moving hand, Jordan involuntarily stopped. However, Jordan was shocked as his body was suddenly pulled forward by a great force. He felt himself unable to control his body and was sent towards Edward.
Jordan's body flew curved towards Edward who had a strange smile engraved on his face.
Although Jordan's body was pulled, he couldn't resist the grin that was getting closer. He could not help but laugh and spirits gathered in his fists.
"Iron Boxing!."Jordan shouted with tightly clenched fists. A sharp burst of spirit gushed outwards, creating a profound echo that resonated in the air. If he could hit Edward on the shoulder, it would inflict terrible damage to his arm. It seems Jordan did not take into account the possibility of Edward's counter-attack.
Iron Fist: High Emperor Level Fighter Technique with a hefty amount of strength. It required a spirit of at least the Peak Stage of Body Formation to be able to learn and practice.
Squinting slightly after sensing the sharp Spirit in the air, Edward exhaled softly. Channeling Spirit all over his body, he exclaimed inwardly."Low-Earth Level Combat Techniques: The Sucking Hands!."
The Sucking Hand Technique was one of the top Techniques belonging to the Collin clan after the thunder-destroying fist.
It has two functions: sucking and pushing, technically. This technique was quite powerful, but due to its non-destructive use on the opponent as well as the requirement to learn it was the perfect stage of body formation.
No one in the clan would bother to learn something useless, they only practiced Combat Techniques that tended to be easy and destructive.
Thinking hard with conviction, Edward blasted out a surge of Spirit from his palm.
"Don't!."Spirit grew powerful as an invisible force ruthlessly pushed back Jordan's flying figure. The attractive and disgusting attack on Jordan immediately turned his face pale white.
"Don't!!."
The two forces fought each other, resulting in a short stalemate. In the end, Jordan was nonetheless sent flying back, falling to the ground 10 meters away. His body shook on the ground as he slowly bled out blood from his mouth with a pitiful groan.
Looking at Jordan who had been completely paralyzed and then calmly glanced over, Edward slowly put his hand down and nonchalantly spoke."You're Losing!."
