Law didn't know that Biscuit had gone to exchange a few words with Atomu. After leaving the venue, he met up with the others at the agreed-upon location, and they all headed back together.
That evening, Law personally cooked a meal for everyone. However, since he used ordinary ingredients, despite the dishes being visually appealing and delicious, they didn't even come close to the level of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from before.
The quality of the ingredients seemed to be a gap that even culinary skills couldn't bridge.
When Uvogin and the others pointed this out, Law could only sigh helplessly. High-grade ingredients weren't something you could find at your local supermarket or market. Even if there were channels to purchase them, it wasn't as simple as buying them and having them delivered immediately.
It was like online shopping… even if you placed an order, the fastest delivery would still take a day.
This made Law think of the bear paws by the Golden Lake and the Nen Ability from the original work that allowed access to another space.
Storing large quantities of ingredients while ensuring their freshness might require clever use of the God Hand's book, but it would be quite challenging to pull off.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Law and Uvogin stood on the ring, with the referee positioned between them.
Today, Law planned to secure his third victory. With Nobunaga contributing another win tomorrow, that would leave only six more victories.
And if Machi and Buhara were willing to fight him, he wouldn't mind quickly securing two more wins.
He just finished a match yesterday, but he fought again today. This phenomenon is very rare in the Heavens Arena.
Most of the contestants above the 200th floor attach great importance to the 90-day preparation period. After all, during this period, they can keep an eye on the competition and choose suitable opponents.
The fans who adored Law didn't care about the potential downsides of his actions, as they just wanted to see more of his fights.
On the ring, Uvogin looked at Law, who stood 100 meters away, and his face is filled with excitement.
He had already prepared himself for defeat, but before going down, he wouldn't give up any chance or hope of defeating Law.
After suffering so many losses at Law's hands, his goal wasn't lofty, as he just wanted to secure one victory against Law!
For this match, Law decided not to use God Hand. Instead, he would rely purely on physical fitness and Nen Techniques to face Uvogin.
"Please fight with dignity and honor."
"Then, begin!"
The referee swung his arms inward, signaling the start of the match, and quickly retreated to the edge of the ring.
"Oh!"
Uvogin grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth in his silent smile, and he immediately went all out!
Whoosh…!
A strong wind inexplicably formed, swirling around his feet before spreading outward.
The audience couldn't see the torrential surge of Aura emanating from Uvogin's body, but they could hear the howling wind.
As they watched Uvogin, they couldn't help but feel like they were looking at a roaring tiger, exuding an overwhelming presence.
"That idiot..."
In the audience, Nobunaga slapped his forehead.
The fight hadn't even started, but Uvogin was already wasting aura on a pointless opening spectacle.
As a fellow Nen User, Nobunaga knew it was important to remember that when facing a stronger opponent, every bit of Aura counted. There was no room for such waste!
Nobunaga's reasoning was sound, but Aura could be used in various ways. While Uvogin's pre-battle Aura release was indeed wasteful, it served to create an intimidating presence.
During their training battles in Meteor City, Law would have thought Uvogin was an idiot for this. But now, he didn't see it that way.
However, Law had no need for such theatrics.
Ken!
Since his opponent was Uvogin, Law didn't need to overthink how to win this match.
'Since Uvogin loved close combat, then so be it!'
Law's Aura solidified around his body, and in the next moment, he did something rare… he took the initiative, charging straight at Uvogin.
"Heh…"
Seeing Law's actions, Uvogin couldn't suppress his excited grin. He reined in the Aura he had been releasing, wrapping it tightly around his body, and then charged toward Law.
They hadn't discussed how to fight beforehand, nor had they agreed to limit themselves to pure hand-to-hand combat and Nen Techniques.
However, the moment Law charged at him, Uvogin instantly understood.
His excitement was so great that it was impossible to hide. It felt like the blood in his veins was boiling, causing the Aura around his body to ripple and churn like boiling water, reflecting his current state.
Boom!
The two figures collided with each other, and a loud dull sound echoed through the venue.
Fists clashed! Moves countered!
Their fists flew back and forth, creating a blur of punches that collided in mid-air.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Each collision sent sharp gusts of air rippling outward. Amid the rapid, muffled impacts, Uvogin's excited laughter could be heard.
By the tenth exchange, Uvogin realized he was being overpowered by Law. He also knew that if he continued like this, he would soon face defeat.
However, he was enjoying the process too much to care. He didn't care how many rounds it would take for him to fall, nor did he think about how to defend effectively.
To hell with defense!
All he wanted to do was attack, attack… and attack some more!
Without worrying about defense, Uvogin's offensive became even more ferocious and aggressive.
In the stands, seeing such a wonderful and intense hand-to-hand combat, the audience was also excited and shouted in excitement.
This was the kind of match they wanted to see!
Three minutes had passed since the fight began, and neither Law nor Uvogin had let up. Both refused to back down, like two bulls relentlessly charging at each other.
In fact, Law could have broken Uvogin's offense-focused momentum as early as one minute into the fight. But he did not do so. Instead, he let Uvogin give it his all.
What should have been a short fight turned into Law giving Uvogin a chance to shine.
The person involved, Uvogin, did not notice this, and even the bystanders, Nobunaga and Machi, did not notice it. To them, it just seemed like Uvogin was performing unusually well today.
'It's almost time.' Law thought to himself.
He was using the fighting techniques of the Shingen-ryu style, while Uvogin relied on his wild, instinctive fighting style.
To put it simply, it was like both of them were stacking blocks, trying to see who could build higher and faster.
Law's approach was to stack steadily, while Uvogin's wild style ignored the foundation, focusing solely on speed.
At first, Uvogin's method allowed him to stack higher than Law, but his unstable foundation made his tower precarious and could collapse at any time.
From the moment Uvogin chose to abandon defense and go all-in on offense, his defeat was inevitable.
After five minutes of exchanges, Law seized an opening and cut in fiercely. Using the priority created by Ryu, he landed a powerful punch on Uvogin's cheek, sending the burly man flying out of the ring.
The power of this punch was enough to knock Uvogin out.
Law retracted his fist, deep in thought.
While this fight appeared to be Law giving Uvogin a chance to shine, both of them had gained something from it.
'Uvogin had lost, but that didn't mean his fighting style was without merit.'
'Is it wrong to abandon defense and go all-in on offense?'
Law's eyes narrowed in contemplation. He felt that this approach had its merits, but it had to be used at the right time.
Atomu and Uvogin are both are Enhancers, and they shared some similarities.
If he fought steadily, could he surpass Atomu in both speed and foundation?
After Uvogin fell, the referee rushed over to check on him. Confirming that Uvogin was still conscious but barely coherent, the referee began the count. By the time the count ended, Uvogin still hadn't gotten up.
Seeing this, the referee declared Law the winner.
And so, Uvogin suffered another defeat at Law's hands.
It remained to be seen whether this battle-crazed man would ever manage to secure a victory against Law in his lifetime.
