Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 385: First year finals [1]

A reinforced transparent barrier is set around the arena, so their fight won’t drag the audience into it.

Standing outside the ring of the arena, Brandon glanced at Selena on the other side, who was stepping into the ring.

Elena turned to Brandon and spoke "Seems like only she is participating..."

With a nod, Brandon stepped forward "Yeah, good thing there is no ring rule in finals where you are eliminated if you step out of the ring."

Upon hearing this, Elena grinned "Go wild."

Brandon and Selene stood against each other in the arena.

Seeing her up close, his gaze narrowed in confusion ’There is no doubt about it... I am getting a weird feeling from her.’

The announcer’s voice boomed across the arena "It seems like only one contestant from both teams is joining for the match."

And the audience is already whispering.

"Ohh, this time he is fighting alone."

"Do you think he will go all out since she hurt his girlfriend?"

"Maybe... wait, so there are chances we can see his ether skill today?"

Some took their phones to record the finals, and others had high-quality cameras.

Selena glanced at Brandon in front of her and mutter "You feel it too, right? We are the same."

Brandon’s eyes narrowed "We’re nothing alike."

Her smile widened, showing just a hint of fang "We’ll see."

A low gong sounded, and the announcer’s voice rolled across the arena like thunder.

"LET THE MATCH... BEGIN!"

*swoosh* In the next instant, Selena disappeared from her starting position and appeared right in front of Brandon.

He looked at her with calm eyes, and as she raised her right leg to kick him with her heel-

His right hand snapped up and grabbed her face in an instant, stopping her momentum.

"Wha-"

Her eyes widened, and he gripped her face, smashing her head right down on the arena floor.

*THOOM* The arena cracked, and Selena felt a loud thong on the back of her head.

"Gughh-" A strangled cry tore from her throat as her body went rigid.

Brandon straightened and rolled his wrist, glancing down at Selena’s body twitching on the floor.

Rolling back, she quickly stood up and wiped the blood from her lips with the back of her hand, smearing the blood on her cheek.

Grabbing her head, she glared at Brandon "You..."

Seeing this, the crowd went still for a moment before the audience roared.

"LET’S GOO!"

"THAT WAS INSANE!"

"This is the first time I am seeing Brandon fighting so assertively..."

Selena’s aura exploded outward, and black-red ether laced with silver lightning burst out from her body.

Runes ignited along her arms, crawling up her neck like living tattoos.

Brandon’s own aura answered a moment later, and a ripple of blue energy exploded out of his body.

The two forces collided mid-arena, and the air screamed.

*woosh* Selena shot forward again, leaving a crimson trail behind her.

She spun low and swept her leg in a razor arc meant to shear him at the knees.

Brandon stepped over it like he was avoiding a puddle, then drove an elbow toward the crown of her head.

She twisted at the last millisecond, taking the blow on her crossed forearms instead.

*THUD*

"Urgh-" The impact still sent her skidding ten meters, her boots carving twin furrows in the sand.

Before she could recover, Brandon dashed forward and launched a kick to her face.

Her eyes shrank in horror, and she threw herself backward, handspringing away, but the graze still split her lip a second time.

Selena landed in a crouch and glanced up at him ’He is insanely strong... Damn it.’

Crimson ether condensed around her, creating dozens of crimson blades that orbited around her.

*flick* In the next instant, the blades hurled at him in a spiraling storm.

But as soon as they reached him, Brandon waved his hand, and a ripple of blue ether clashed with the blades, turning them into ether shards.

Eira, who was standing in the VIP room, her lips twitched faintly ’How much did he fuck my mom to copy her skill and even create a variation of it.’

’That was Mom’s gravity pulse... but he turned it into an omnidirectional shockwave. Cheater.’

Seeing her blades turning into shards, Selena’s gaze condensed ’What kind of skill was that? Just ether projection?’

Looking down at her, Brandon spoke "You okay to keep going, or do you need a minute?"

Selena’s aura flared hotter as black-red lightning crackled around her fists.

"Don’t get cocky,"

The shattered crimson dust in the air suddenly reversed direction.

In the space of a blink, the dust condensed, compressing and sharpening, until it formed a single massive greatsword of crystallized blood-ether hovering above her head.

Selena grabbed the hilt with both hands and grinned "Let’s see you block this one."

She swung the colossal blade down in a vertical arc that split the air itself.

The pressure wave hit first, and Brandon’s hair and jacket whipped back as if he is standing before a hurricane.

*swoosh* Brandon dashed forward and raised his leg, smashing it into her face in a perfect roundhouse kick.

*CRACK* Her neck cracked to the left as blood and spit sprayed from her lips.

*THOOM* Her body shot to the side, crashing into the arena’s transparent barrier.

The entire coliseum shook.

The reinforced ward lattice flared as spider-web cracks raced across the transparent shield where her back struck.

Dust and sand exploded outward in a ring. The floating scrying drones overhead wobbled in their formations to hold the barrier.

The enormous crimson sword shattered into a million glittering crimson shards that rained down like snow.

The arena’s audience stared at Selena hanging on the barrier in disbelief.

Selena hung embedded in the cracked barrier for a moment with her limbs splayed and blood dripping from her mouth.

Then gravity pulled her.

Her body slid down from the barrier and hit the sand face-first with a dull, meaty thud. *thud*

Looking at her, Brandon frowned ’Did I overdo it? I don’t want her to lose yet.’

She pressed her trembling hand into the sand, and her fingers curled as Selena pushed herself up.

Blood dripped from her chin in thick, steady drops, staining the sand dark.

Her left arm hung limp, and her shoulder was clearly dislocated, but her right hand was already glowing with fresh crimson ether.

Her face was a ruin with split lips, cheeks swollen purple, and a thin rivulet of blood running from her hairline down over one pale eye.

Selena spat a mouthful of blood to the side and laughed "You hit like a goddamn meteor," she rasped, her voice carrying across the silent arena. "Again."

She slammed her good hand against her dislocated shoulder.

With a sickening *pop* she forced it back into the socket without so much as a wince.

Brandon glanced at the referee teachers ’Since they are not stopping the match, I will continue the torture...’
