Even the city lord and Xiao Han is surprised.
Its a stance that is foreign in this world.
The city lord and Xiao Han look at each other and understand, that from each other's faces, non of them knew the stance.
What a peculiar stance, they thought.
The stance that are commonly used in this world is those that focus on lower body stability.
Its similar to those of Chinese horse stance or karate's stance.
A stance like Muay Thai that's less stable on the lower body is almost never seen.

Xiao Fan gradually reach his peak speed. He then start his attacks.
He quickly move to Cloud's back side and attack him from there.
As he closed in on Cloud, Cloud suddenly turn to him.
He moved very efficiently and kick toward Xiao Fan's path.
At that moment, it's basically like Xiao Fan is charging toward the kick himself.
It all happened too quickly. When he realized, Xiao Fan is already dashing forward to be kicked.
He quickly try to alter his path because he can't stop himself anymore. His speed is far too great to stop right away.
If he try, then he would be kicked before he can stop.
So he try to slightly alter his path instead. But his speed is way too fast and there is not enough distance left.
It feels like the kick is pulling him toward it.
The two soon collide, but Xiao Fan barely manage to avoid the kick by forcing himself to roll on the ground at the last moment.
It was so close that Xiao Fan could feel the air from the kick, brush past him.
After rolling on the ground a few times because of the force of his speed, Xiao Fan quickly turn to face Cloud and stand.
Cold sweat start to pour on his back. That was very close.
If that kick hit him, the best case scenario is that he would receive significant damage.
The worst would be that he wouldn't be able to get up.
But its not like the kick itself is monstrous. Its because the force of the kick plus Xiao Fan's speed in running toward it would multiply the force by several-fold.
Xiao Fan's speed can't be underestimated. If he wants, he can even compete with a cheetah.
With such a speed, clashing against a hard object would be devastating.
And Cloud's kick is strong enough to hurt large beasts. It is the perfect "Hard object".
When Xiao Fan is still felling cold all over his body, Cloud calmly turn to face him.
He took the chance and attack. He knows that Xiao Fan hasn't recovered from the previous clash.
When Xiao Fan saw that Cloud is dashing toward him right away, he froze.
It is indeed true that he hasn't recovered from the previous encounter.
Seeing the frozen Xiao Fan, Cloud quickly push kick him.
Xiao Fan barely manage to put up his arms to defend against the kick but the force still send him back.
Cloud quickly chase and follow up with another kick.
Since Xiao Fan wasn't ready at all, he can only defend passively while being pushed toward the edge of the arena.
Cloud's kick came very quickly. He doesn't give Xiao Fan any time to think at all.
Just when he reached the edge of the arena and thought that its over, the last kick he's been dreading never came.
When Xiao Fan open his eyes to look, he doesn't find Cloud that's suppose to be in front of him, delivering the last kick.
Just when he is in the peak of confusion, a kick came. But it's not like people expected.
Instead of being kicked out of the arena, he was kicked to the middle.
Xiao Fan didn't even see the kick. It came when he is full of confusion. He is completely defenseless when he receive it.
He was kicked in the but and he fell forward pathetically.
Sitting on the ground, he look toward Cloud with even more confused look.
Cloud is standing beside where Xiao Fan was standing. He is looking at Xiao Fan calmly without mockery on his face.
"Sorry, I thought you would be able to do more. Now it just seems like I'm humiliating you." Said Cloud with a sigh.
Xiao Fan turned from confusion to anger when he heard that. His face became red.
He is so angry but he's also filled with shame.
He wasn't able to do anything, and in the last moment when he was about to lose, he was spared.
