Liam pinned Valen hurriedly to the floor. "This is it! There's no way Valen could kick out of that!"
The referee had his finger on the watch. "O—" Before he could even say anything, Valen kicked out of the pin with new strength.
Liam was forced to stand up and was pushed back.
Asterix smiled, knowing exactly how he did it. Valen knew that the kick was coming, so he had his hands placed on the floor in a push-up position. So when Liam kicked the back of his head, he pushed against the floor, avoiding his head hitting the floor. While he's still hurt, he's still not knocked out.
"Whooo…" Liam let out a cold breath. That was very tricky. Smart too…
Valen got up quickly, twisting and cracking his neck, massaging the back of his head too.
"Liam!" David shouted.
"What?!" Liam maintained his eye contact with Valen.
"He's about to use mana—I can feel it!" David continued. I see a blue hue around his body…
