Lucius Vs Dean Hall

Lucius and Dean stood at the center of the arena, gazing at each other intensely, while the others stood aside with their cameras raised, live-streaming the event. After Lucius's fight with Alex, it became clear that the world was interested in this new S-rated potential student, who was once a slave.

To the average man living in the residential area, he was a symbol to them. It made them believe there was hope for them to become someone great out of nothing and because of the emotions he aroused in them, everyone was eager to be a part of his journey to the top.

Immediately Silver began his stream, displaying the standoff between the two, the internet went crazy. In mere minutes, thousands of people were tuned in. While noblemen were there to show their support for Dean, many were on Lucius's side. The resentment between the social classes of society has never been revealed so openly before.

Curses and insults flew around in the comment sections and since the stream was from Silver's page, many influential individuals tuned in just to understand what kind of person Lucius was. Including Bruce Ainsworth, Silver's older brother 

"You are crazy if you think you stand a chance against me." Dean sneered as his eyes let out a bright white flash, a stark contrast from his dark attire.

"So many people said the same when I fought against Alex Briggs." Lucius sneered.

'Bastard!" Alex cursed from the sidelines while the chat was filled with laughing emojis.

THUD!

Lucius began walking forward while his eyes let out a threatening purple flash, his footsteps unusually heavy for someone of his size. His lean muscles began bulging, and his veins began popping up all over his body.

"If you don't make the first move, I will take the initiative!" Lucius snarled.

Bam!

Shooting forward like a rocket, Lucius closed the distance between them in mere seconds. His fist mimicked his movements, shooting forward with a threatening force.

Bang!

A minor shockwave erupted between Lucius and Dean, but his fist never reached its target. 

[The ability to manipulate raw energy… Impressive] Lyxor complimented the hexagon-shaped barrier standing between the two.

"HMPH!" Lucius's eyes lit up with power as he threw his second fist forward with even more force.

Snap!

Boom!

Lucius slid back from the cloud of white smoke with a deep frown. All he could remember was Dean snapping his fingers which caused the barrier to detonate. While it lacked enough power to deal serious damage, it was still annoying.

[He can force his energy constructs to detonate? This kid is something.] Lyxor was stunned.

"The name God set given to me, Alex, Silver, and Maya was something students came with after watching us fight." Dean said, as his body was covered in a thin but thick layer of his energy, allowing him to levitate off the ground.

"This powe…"

"I don't give two fucks about how you got your name. If that little spark is all you can do, then I suggest you give up now." Lucius snorted disdainfully!

IMPUDENT!

Dean's eyes dilated with rage as numerous white spears formed behind him.

Hmph!

Lucius had no intentions of dodging and planted his feet on the ground with his hands crossed over his face. His muscles tightened as a thick layer of Qi shrouded his body, causing some minor, unnoticeable parts of his body to darken and steam began surging out of his body, slowly hiding away his figure from plain sight.

"This bastard is into martial arts too?" Alex blurted out in shock.

His shock was shared by everyone present, and even Snow, who observed the battle from a dark corner of the arena, was stunned as well.

"What martial technique is that?" Maya couldn't help but ask.

"This kid is interesting." Silver muttered as he licked his lips.

Dean was taken aback but this only infuriated him more. He was the one meant to be with Lucius, together they would have been the most powerful duo in America's history!

Lucius would have joined the Hall family and lived a stress-free life, yet the ungrateful bastard gave him no face even though he had good intentions for him.

"Good, stand there. I will eradicate you!" Dean growled as he threw his hands forward.

Buzz!

His white spears began shooting down in rapid succession, each exploding as they struck their target.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Everyone leaned forward, paying rapt attention to the cloud of steam mixed with white smoke from the constant explosive energy spears. Dean replicated the spears, creating an endless barrage of explosive spears while waiting for Lucius to abandon defense when overwhelmed and try to escape eventually.

Swish!

Just as he expected, ten seconds into the ruthless bombardment from the side, something shot out of the cloud of smoke clouded in white smoke and steam!

"YOU WON'T GET AWAY!" Dean roared as he directed his attacks to the escaping figure.

Swish!

Two sizable energy spears tore through the steam and smoke, but to everyone's surprise stabbed into Lucius's shirt, pinning it to the ground!

A diversion!

Swish!

Lucius shot out of the main cloud of smoke, charging towards the airborne Dean with his eyes blazing with purple light and his fist swinging forward.

"Shit!" Dean cried out as he crossed his hands over his chest while reinforcing the white energy shrouding his body.

Boom!

Lucius's fist shattered the barrier, sending Dean's figure hurling back uncontrollably. 

Bang!

Dean struck the ground and rolled a couple of times before stopping. He grabbed his belly and coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his eyes blazed stubbornly with white energy.

"Bastard… Bastard…" Dean roared in a strained voice as he struggled to his feet.

Buzz!

His white aura surged out of his body, slowly taking the form of a revolving white sword, shimmering with intense power. 

"Wait… we need to stop the fight. Right?" Alex said, looking at Silver and the others, who also had disturbed facial expressions.

It was clear that Dean's next attack was aimed at killing, that's why he was pouring all his power into it.

"I agree with you for once." Lucius said as he walked over to the bright white spears pinning his shirt to the ground.

"This fight is a bore, let's end it with this final attack!" Lucius's voice deepened as his veins let out a purple glow, mimicking the color of his blazing eyes.

Thud!

Stomping his bare feet on the ground, the earth began crawling up his toes, spreading to all parts of his darkening body, while he reached for the two spears, grabbing them with his bare hands.

Buzz!

Everyone watched in shock as the energy from the energy construct began surging into Lucius's earth-armored body, creating dazzling white patterns all over his body.

Buzz!

"KeeeeShhiiiiiiiii!"

Lucius uttered an inhumane cry as his presence erupted, clashing with Dean's fierce aura. He pushed his Xenovian blood to its max, recreating his monstrous presence during his battle with Alex Briggs.

Both sides were aiming to end the fight with their next attack.
