Chapter 330
The air around them seemed to freeze all of a sudden.
Cameron stared at Phoenix, whose face was just inches away from his.
Phoenix glanced down at Cameron, so he couldn’t make out much of an expression on the
latter’s face.
Still, Phoenix, heart palpitated in the chest.
“Are you done yapping?” Cameron asked calmly as he stared back up at Phoenix.
Cameron didn’t strike back at Phoenix because he’d been observing Phoenix’s moves.
Phoenix’s attacks were slow. Not only was his footwork nasty, but his breath was also ragged.
If this was what the people call a fighter in the Martial King stage, it surely seemed like Phoenix had gained the title through indecent means.
Cameron didn’t feel like watching or analyzing Phoenix’s moves anymore. It wasn’t worth it,
That was why, he should quickly end things. This fight was meaningless.

“You, punk, are so dead!” eyes seemed to spew flames as he gritted his teeth.” Don’t think you can act all high and mighty just because you managed to stop my blow!”
“I was lucky, you say?” Cameron mumbled.
The corners of his mouth lifted in a smile as he said, “Well then, why don’t you give it your all this time? Otherwise…”
He paused for suspense. “I’m afraid that I’d accidentally kill you.”
Phoenix narrowed his eyes at those words. His gaze turned sharp and savage.
A wave of murderous intent spread out and about from deep inside his heart. He shivered at the sudden urge to kill.
“Splendid!” he bellowed. “You’re the first person who dares to say that to me!”
Phoenix clenched his jaw. It was as if by doing so, he could dismiss the atrocious and humiliating thought of trying to kill Cameron with his bare hands.
When he finished his sentence, disdain rose in his eyes once again.
Vital energy, more violent and turbulent than before, exploded within him. He wrung his

hand free from Cameron’s grasp and moved backward so that he was around ten feet away.
from Cameron.
The vital energy that coursed through his body flowed out and surrounded him, making the air around him buzz and his clothes billow from the energy. His hair moved in the air, making him look like a madman.
Phoenix stared unblinkingly at Cameron, the hatred in his eyes as clear as day. “I admit that you’re better than what I’ve expected, but do you really think I’ll acknowledge your worth just because of that? No way!”
My worth?” The corners of Cameron’s lips tilted upward into a smile.
Raising his eyes, he looked at Phoenix and said, “You must’ve gotten something wrong.”
“What is it?” Phoenix asked, scowling.
“I don’t recall asking you to acknowledge my abilities,” Cameron spoke slowly and clearly in an ice–cold tone. “You, on the other hand, think too highly of yourself. I don’t understand what you say. Don’t you find yourself much too noisy and annoying?”
“You-” Phoenix’s glowered at Cameron.
The humiliation he felt was like a sharp blade that sliced through his heart. It was as if his confidence had been trampled on, and he started trembling out of rage.
The hatred in his eyes deepened, and his voice became dangerously low.
“Well done, punk! You’ve pissed me off real badly!” he growled. “To repay you, I’ll break every single bone in your body!”
The moment he finished his sentence, he stamped his feet on the ground and leaped into the air at lightning speed.
This time, he was quicker than before. His punches were more rapid and had more force behind them. He seemed more threatening than before.
Despite that, Cameron looked nonchalant. He stared as one of the punches came close to him. Then, with a light flick of his hand, he grabbed Phoenix’s fist and closed his fingers around it.
A layer of vital energy started to condense on top of Phoenix’s fist. It didn’t seem like much, but the power behind it was a hundred times more overwhelming than Phoenix’s.
