Second World

Once the referee started the match, Jim rushed forward. His opponent was sitting, which meant he was not moving from the spot.

Jim rushed slightly to the side. He then spun at great speed, his legs spun following his body and came at the back of Seagull's head.

"Good spin kick!" Jack commented. He had a slightly strange feeling that he had seen that spin kick before.

But the spin kick failed to connect. Seagull bent down and Jim's feet rushed past above him.

Seagull's hands were about to slap at Jim when his head rose back up, but Jim's feet that just touched the floor suddenly sprang back with incredible speed. Seagull had no choice but to use his hands to block. The force of the kick was so fierce that it pushed Seagull back. The feet of his chair scraped the floor.

When the force from the kick ended, Seagull's hands pushed strongly. Jim tumbled back from the push. He did a backflip and landed back with style.

"Stu?" Jim said after the exchange.

Seagull frowned for a bit before he made a surprised face and said, "Jim...?"

"F*ck! It really is you! I had a feeling I recognized your fat ass."

"Hmph. You, who only know how to give a phony show. I have been waiting to teach your pretty ass for a long time."

"Me? Phony show? You are one to talk!" Jim spat. "Come! I heard you once say that you can beat me any time. Let's see if you were only bluffing like you always are."

"I said I can beat you, then I can beat you," Seagull stood up and kicked the chair he was sitting in before. The chair flew out of the arena.

"F*ck me... Those two know each other?" Jack said.

"Well, if they did, that means this Seagull fellow used to be a movie star as well," Water Lily said.

"Movie star?"

"Jim used to be an action star. He used his martial arts and made a lot of action movies that made him famous."

"Oh...! I know him! So he is that Jim! I watched many of his movies in the past. Now that you mentioned it, no wonder I found his name and moves to be familiar. Wait, he called the other guy Stu. Holy... I can't recognize them because of their orc faces. Those two were always talking bad things about one another in the tabloids. They always talked about fighting one another but it never happened. I never expect it to happen for real here."

Both Jim and Seagull continued their exchanges. Both were fighting seriously now. Jim's kick was fast and accurate while Seagull's hands provided solid defense and swift counterattacks.

"What do you think?" Water Lily asked Jack.

"Now that I saw them fight for real, both of them can be said as true martial art experts. I always thought they were only acting. However, they did too much flair. There were too many unnecessary moves."

"Can't blame their habits. Showbusiness always required much flair."

Jim and Seagull weren't aware of the others talking about them. They fought seriously against one another. In fact, they had never fought so seriously before. They were bitter rivals in the past world. Now that they met again in this world, they saw it as fate had brought them together to settle their differences once and for all.

"Shit! Your slap-fight is as formidable as in your movies!" Jim uttered. Seagull's hand had turned into blurs and seemed to come at him from every direction. Jim had been using his arms to defend but Seagull's hands managed to slip through and slap him several times already.

The slaps caused stinging pain. Jim wondered where Seagull learned to slap that hard. He continued to get pushed back due to the never-ending slaps.

"Hah! Admit your defeat! You are nothing against a true martial artist," Seagull scoffed.

"Do not underestimate me!" Jim yelled and suddenly vanished.

At least that's what Seagull thought. For a second, he thought Jim had violated the rule and used a game skill. But Jim didn't actually vanish, he simply dropped to the floor by doing a split.

The split brought his eye level to Seagull's belly, which he then punched. Seagull was forced back due to the punch.

Jim sprang back up and then jumped. In the air, his body spun at high speed. His legs spun like a helicopter blade.

"His signature move! Jumping spin kick!!" Jack shouted.

The spinning kick came at Seagull. Seagull's blocking arms were battered repeatedly. He had to take a step back with every impact. He gritted his teeth due to the pain those spinning kicks caused.

Jim's spinning kicks slammed Seagull's arms four times before he landed back down.

"Holy cow! Those were inhuman spin kicks," Jack uttered. Sure, his grandfather could do a crazier whirlwind kick, but that is a move powered by mana manipulation. Jack's mana sense told him that these two action stars didn't have any mana manipulation ability. The spinning kicks Jim had displayed were purely his athletic feat. That's why Jack was so impressed.

However, even though it was impressive, none of the kicks landed on Seagull. When Jim landed back on the floor, Seagull's hands went forward and did a double palms slap. Jim reeled back from the impact.

But Seagull's arms were trembling. Those four spinning kicks just now were truly painful.

"Hey, Stu. Do you know what is better than a four-times spin kick?" Jim asked after regaining his balance.

Jim didn't wait for Seagull's answer. He shouted, "It's a five-times spin kick...!!!"

His body then shot up and spun again. This time the spinning was even faster. The legs came at a rapid speed.

Seagull did his best to block using his arms, but the pain was too unbearable. His defense finally dropped after the fourth spin kick. The last and the fifth landed on Seagull's face squarely. He was sent flying by the impact and landed outside the arena.

"VICTORYYY...!!" Jim lifted his arms in a victory pose. The crowd erupted into a cheer.

"I will give it to him. He really does know how to put on a show," Water Lily said.

"Yeah!" Jack agreed. He was clapping his hands fiercely.
