Blood Assimilation

A few moments of waiting later…

Another player finally accepted his challenge and then arrived in the same combat arena. It seemed like the other party also choose this combat arena, since he was not transported away from this combat arena. 

"Oh? Are you the one that defeated that Baby Sword Master just now? I was really curious about who you were, so I immediately accepted this challenge." The new player said immediately after appearing in the combat arena.

Randy was shaken a little by his words and then silently thought.

'How did he know about this? I only just defeated that guy a few moments ago… Is the streaming system that fast or was it live the entire time?'

However, despite thinking this, he still replied to other party: "That's right. Do you know him?"

"If you are the one, then I will have to thank you for defeating him. Because I was aiming to defeat that fucker for a long time ago but couldn't because he never accepts my challenge whenever I send it to him. However, since you defeated him, I will have to make do with you for now." The other party did not respond to Randy's question and then only stated in return.

Randy did not respond to this statement from the other party and only proceeded to observe the other party instead.

'Unlike that Baby Sword Maser from earlier, this guy did not have much armor on. Besides some leader armor and a pair of gauntlets, there was nothing special about him, in terms of equipment that is.'

Thinking of this, Randy unconsciously revealed a smile, catching the attention of the new player.

"Huh? What are you smiling about? Did I say something funny just now?" He asked with raised eyebrows. 

And then he narrowed his eyes before continuing: "Or were you perhaps thinking that I was a petty weakling?"

"That's right, ah, no, that's not what I meant." Randy curtly replied without thinking much about the other party's question, but soon realized his mistake.

The other party was stunned for a brief moment, however after the virtual system's announcement, he immediately shouted in anger.

"Bastard!!"

Saying so, the other party madly charged at Randy while clenching their fists all the while displaying a furious expression on their face.

After reaching Randy's position, he immediately threw a punch at his face, however Randy easily dodged this attack by tilting his head sideways.

Haah—

At first, Randy watched this guy who was a fellow fist user with a slight interest, however upon closer observation of his clumsy fist technique just now, he only sighed helplessly in disappointment and then randomly threw a punch at him.

BAM!

"Urghhh!" 

Blood sprayed everywhere.

Iron Knuckle Fist groaned in pain as his nose was crushed from Randy's casual punch just now.

"H-How is that possible?" 

That was his last words before losing consciousness, turning into sprites of light before vanishing from the virtual combat arena.

Watching the residue sprites of light, Randy only shook his head and then muttered: "No wonder that Baby Sword Master did not want to fight you. With his personality of looking down on weaklings and newbies, why would he fight someone as weak as you?"

Shortly after that, his system's notification popped up once again.

[[You have fought and easily defeated your opponent in combat, thus obtaining 200 Knowledge Points]]

The system announced to him.

"What the hell! He was so weak that he only gave this much knowledge points, Tsk." Randy complained when he saw the little knowledge points that he received from defeating this Iron Knuckle Fist.

Naturally, this was a lot of knowledge points, however when he thought of how much knowledge points that he needed to comprehend the remaining techniques, this amount was really too little for him, not to mention the skills which cost more knowledge points than the techniques.

After thinking of that for a brief moment, he immediately said 'yes' when the virtual system prompted him about whether he wanted to continue with the duel.

Another few moments of waiting later…

Another opponent appeared in the same combat arena, confusing Randy greatly about why they kept picking the same combat arena.

At this point, the new player suddenly spoke in surprise: "You… You just defeated that Iron Knuckle Fist guy? I always wanted to defeat that bastard…"

"Enough! If you want to fight, then let's fight… At this point, you are only wasting my time to get more benefits." 

Randy impatiently said to him, as he could care less about whether they wanted to fight each other or not.

What does that have to do with him? He only cared about knowledge points, not fulfilling someone's wishes…

<The virtual combat shall now commence!>

"You bastard!"

However, this caused the new contender to feel offended as he shouted in exasperation.

"Don't be arrogant just because you manage to defeat those weaklings. I will show you what is true power and make you kneel in front of me." The other party declared with confidence as he glared fiercely at Randy.

"Whatever! Are you coming or not. Or you want me to attack first—"

Saying so, Randy had already appeared in front of the other party as he smashed their face with his fist.

"BAM!"

This impact caused blood to spray everywhere once again.

Since this guy also had no helmet on like his second opponent which was unlike his first opponent, Baby Sword Master who had an expensive head gear, thus taking them down like this was the most efficient and saves much time.

His fist techniques were also more effective on them this way.

Just like his second opponent, this guy whom Randy did not bother to look at his name or remember his name's nose was bleeding unceasingly as blood spilled from all of his orifices before vanishing shortly after.

[[You have fought and easily defeated your opponent in combat, thus obtaining 300 Knowledge Points]]

The system announced.

At this point, Randy was once again dejected by the notification that popped up in front of him, specifically the amount of knowledge points that he obtained from this fight.

The next moment, he shook his head and decided to think of something else that caught his attention, then he muttered in admiration: "How mystical… How can people even bleed in the virtual world? Just how much time did they spend to even program this cutting edge technology, enough to make it this realistic?"
