'Finally' thought Cale with a smile.
“Ladies and gentlemen! We have an unexpected turn of events as Minho showcases his fiery abilities! The battle just became even more intense!”
Jinwoo and Taeyang paused, their attention shifting from each other to the spectacle unfolding before them. Minho, with his blue blade now wreathed in flames, exuded an aura of power and determination that was impossible to ignore.

“Your speed is impressive, but can you handle this?!” Jinwoo taunted, channeling his lightning-infused strikes.
Minho countered each attack with fluid precision, his flames enhancing his movements and creating a fiery barrier that absorbed the impact of Jinwoo’s attacks. The crowd erupted in cheers, enthralled by the display of strength and skill.
Meanwhile, Taeyang watched, his earlier eagerness to fight simmering down as he observed the duel. “This is getting interesting,” he muttered, stepping back to assess his next move.
Across the arena, Minseok wiped sweat from his brow after his victory over Haejin. He had watched Minho unleash his flames with a mix of admiration and anxiety.' Can I keep up with them?' he wondered.
Jinwoo was growing frustrated. He knew he needed to outsmart Minho if he wanted to gain the upper hand. “You’re strong, but you’re not invincible!” he shouted, launching a series of rapid strikes again.
Minho dodged and parried, feeling the intensity of each attack. “You think I’m going to let you win that easily?” he shot back, his confidence growing. He tapped into the fire within him, increasing his agility as he maneuvered around Jinwoo.
“Fire and speed, huh? Let’s see how you handle this!” Jinwoo yelled, channeling more energy into his strikes. He began to radiate electricity, turning his body into a blur of movement.

As Minho spun and dodged Jinwoo’s rapid lightning strikes, he felt the flames around him intensify, feeding off his adrenaline and determination. With each movement, he maneuvered with grace, the heat radiating from his body creating a shimmering aura that captivated the audience.
Taeyang, ever the opportunist, seized the moment. He lunged at Minho, throwing a barrage of punches enhanced by his own innate strength. “Let’s see if you can handle two of us at once!” he shouted, aiming to catch Minho off guard.
“Don’t underestimate me!” Minho countered, pivoting just in time to deflect Taeyang’s punch with his flaming blade. The clash sent sparks flying, illuminating their fierce expressions.
Jinwoo, recognizing the need for strategy, tried to outmaneuver both opponents. “Split up! Don’t let him control the fight!” he barked, darting around them, channeling his lightning into a wide arc to keep both Minho and Taeyang on their toes.
But Minho was quick, channeling the fire within to enhance his perception. He saw Jinwoo’s approach and countered with a sweeping strike, sending a wave of flames toward him. “You’ll have to do better than that!”

Minho took advantage of the distraction, rushing at Taeyang. “You’re not getting away that easily!” he declared, flames roaring to life around his blade. He aimed for Taeyang’s exposed flank, knowing he had to capitalize on the moment.
But Taeyang was ready. He sidestepped and used his momentum to land a powerful kick to Minho’s midsection, sending him sprawling back. The impact resonated throughout the arena, causing the crowd to gasp.
“You’ve got some fire, but it’s not enough!” Taeyang taunted, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
