His words clused a stir among the crowd. It that man on the stage crazy? Does he think Master Antoine will still show him mercy after he covertly provokes Master Antoine? If Master Antoine takes aggressive action

"He's indeed a boasting fool with a death wish, yet you still intend to help him? Stannis, you better quit meddling in his business in the future. You can't stop anyone who enjoys courting troubles." Daphne uttered derisively.

Stannis had also heard Alex's speech, and he shared Daphne's opinion that Alex was seeking death. Hence, he didn't refute her.

Antoine was undoubtedly the most terrified person at the scene at that moment. Alex's formidable aura did frighten him, but as long as he could launch an attack, he still had absolute confidence in knocking Alex off the stage.

"If I fail, will I need to stand one meter from the edge of the stage for you to carry out your attempt too?"

Despite being sufficiently confident, he couldn't guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen, so Antoine thought it was better for him to clarify with Alex.

Alex nodded. He had wanted to tell Antoine to stand anywhere he liked, but on second thought, he decided not to be so ostentatious. His goal was just to teach Antoine a lesson.

Although Antoine couldn't fathom Alex's strength, he reckoned that matter would be resolved once the latter was knocked off the platform.

Antoine held his breath and focused intently. His expression turned exceptionally grave, and he even took out a black pill from his pocket and put it into his mouth.

That was a pill given to him by the abbot of the monastery, which could double his Mortal Force for a short period. However, the severe side effect would render him weak and powerless for ten days. Even though Alex didn't reveal his abilities in front of Antoine, the latter had to practice extra caution because Alex invoked a sense of inscrutability within him.

Alex watched Antoine consume the pill but was unfazed. He figured there was no way a martial artist could defeat a third-phase Master like him regardless of what miraculous elixir Antoine ate. Once the pill exerted its effect, Antoine's aura escalated to twice its initial intensity. His fear significantly decreased as he faced off against Alex now.

Antoine laughed mockingly and scoffed as he took in Alex's casual demeanor. “You're too arrogant, young man. Let me teach you a lesson about the importance of humility today." "Quit yapping and just make your move!" Alex responded impatiently.

Antoine was enraged. He's unrepentant even on the verge of death. I shan't waste my breath on someone like him. Antoine closed his eyes, feeling the doubled power circulating in his elixir field. Channeling Mortal Force to his palm, he abruptly opened his eyes and roared, "Fal!!"

Immediately afterward, the Mortal Force on his palins burst forth and struck Alex.

The resulting shockwave was tremendous. The crowd below the stage could already envision Alex being sent flying backward after getting hit by Antoine's attack.

However, to everyone's surprise, Alex remained rooted to his spot, curling his lips into a faint smile. His figure didn't even budge a little.

Seeing that, Antoine widened his eyes in utter astonishment and muttered continuously, "H-How is this possible? T-This is impossible. There's no way this is happening. How can he be completely unharmed?" Everyone below the stage gasped. Among them were people who had come many times just to watch Antoine perform his divine powers, and that was the first time they'd seen him fail.

Alex sneered while walking up to Antoine, gently patted the latter's shoulder, and uttered frostily, "Since you've already made your move and I didn't fall off the stage, is it my turn now?"

At that moment, Antoine had already collapsed on the ground. To outsiders, Alex's gentle pat on Antoine's shoulder didn't seem like much, but as the party concerned, Antoine was the only one who could feel its real magnitude.

The seemingly light taps on his shoulder actually felt as if someone had forcefully swung a sledgehammer at him twice.

Even under the influence of the pill's effect, he couldn't withstand it. This man is indeed not as initially thought! simple as I have
