Matthews and Hunter occupied two ends of the training ground, respectively, and performed warm-up exercises in a focused and orderly manner.

Matthews constantly practices defensive techniques and attack-breaking techniques, while Hunter focuses on improving offensive skills. Their training reflects their unique fighting styles and strategies.

Spectators were already seated at the training ground, including Hunter's two sisters and their friends. They chatted excitedly, adding to the atmosphere of anticipation for the upcoming game.

However, all this did not seem to affect Matthews and Hunter on the training ground. Their eyes were firm and their expressions were focused, as if they were in another world, with only them and the upcoming challenge. They were calm and did not show any nervousness before the big battle. Matthews and Hunter were concentrating on making final preparations for the upcoming contest.

Sophia's friend, Alice, asked Sophia softly, "Sophia, who do you think will win?" There was a gleam of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.

Sophia answered without hesitation: "Hunter will win for sure. He has received more than three months of rigorous training from my grandfather. It is said that Hunter is now strong enough to even defeat three of his former selves six months ago."

Alice nodded in agreement. "It sounds like Hunter is really powerful. But the other one doesn't look weak either, otherwise your brother wouldn't have invited him here."

Sophia smiled and explained, "Yes, he is also very strong. In fact, their match half a year ago ended in a draw, which is why my brother invited him again."

Alice thought for a moment and said, "Then Hunter will surely win. After all, his strength has greatly increased."

Emily's friend asked in confusion, "Why haven't they started competing yet? They look like they've been warming up for a long time."

Emily pretended to be profound and explained, "You don't understand this! These two are both top masters, and they are going to have a real battle, so they naturally need to be fully prepared. So, do you know what a real battle is?"

With the sound of footsteps, the figures of Grand Duke Leo and Grand Duke Bai Lan gradually appeared, followed by Lord Harris and his wife, Hunter's sister and her husband, and a handsome young man.

Sophia's eyes widened with excitement: "Look, grandpa is here! But who is that person next to grandpa?"

Emily was also curious. She guessed, "I've never seen this person before. He must be a big shot to be able to walk side by side with my grandfather!"

When they arrived at the edge of the training ground, Grand Duke Bai Lan glanced around the training ground, then turned to Grand Duke Leo and asked with some curiosity: "Old friend, you just mentioned that your grandson is going to compete with someone in actual combat, and invited me to come and watch the fight. I wonder which grandson is yours?"

Archduke Leo smiled and pointed at Hunter who was warming up on the field: "That's the guy, what do you think of him?"

Grand Duke Bai Lan looked at Hunter carefully, but did not comment immediately. He turned his gaze to Matthews and asked curiously, "What about the other one? You didn't just pick someone to practice with?"

Archduke Leo still kept smiling: "The other one is the child of Albert's family, who is also very outstanding. The duel between them will be very exciting."

Hearing this introduction, Grand Duke Bai Lan's eyes revealed a strong interest: "Oh, this is indeed exciting. Charles, you should also take a good look. After all, you are both outstanding among your peers."

Charles responded disdainfully: “Grandpa, I know nothing about the Albert family. In my opinion, only the Goth family, the Leo family, and the Bailan family are worthy of attention.”

Grand Duke Bai Lan explained to Grand Duke Leo somewhat awkwardly: "I really doted on him too much, which made him a little arrogant."

Archduke Leo noticed that Archduke Bai Lan's grandson was a bit arrogant and unruly, so he wanted to dampen his arrogance: "Bai Lan, what do you think about letting Charles go up and have a try first?"

Grand Duke Bai Lan understood Leo's intention, so he said to Charles, "Go pick an opponent and fight with him bare-handed."

Charles walked towards the training ground nonchalantly, his eyes fell on Matthews, and he said provocatively: "Black-haired boy, come here and practice with this young master."

Matthews was stunned, and then realized that the arrogant young man in front of him must be the grandson of Grand Duke Bailan. He responded politely: "Grandson of Grand Duke Bailan is of noble status, I dare not hurt you."

However, Charles rushed towards Matthews angrily after hearing this: "Boy, how dare you underestimate me!"

Matthews dealt with Charles' attack with ease, dodging skillfully and using Charles' strength to easily resolve the attack. He always maintained a calm and composed attitude and did not choose to directly confront Charles in terms of strength.

Sophia on the sidelines exclaimed: "How amazing! He only used one hand!"

Alice said with some concern: "Sophia, can Brother Hunter really win?" She witnessed Matthews' amazing performance and couldn't help but doubt Hunter's victory.

Sophia frowned and replied, "To be honest, I'm not sure now. Matthews' strength is completely beyond my expectations. He is really too powerful." Her tone revealed her awe of Matthews' strength, and at the same time she was worried about Hunter's prospects of victory.

Everyone present was deeply shocked by Matthews' performance. He easily dealt with Charles's fierce attack with just one hand, and his skills and flexibility were amazing. What was even more amazing was the exquisite movements Matthews showed in the battle. Every step and every turn was full of artistic beauty and tactical wisdom.

The two political giants, Grand Duke Leo and Grand Duke Bai Lan, could not help but show surprise at this moment. They had never expected that Matthews' martial arts could reach such a high level.

Little did they know that most of Matthews's skills were in close combat.

Archduke Leo quietly suggested to Archduke Bai Lan: "Maybe it's time to ask Charles to stop."

Grand Duke Bai Lan also realized the disparity in strength between the two men and thought that Charles could not be allowed to continue. He raised his voice and ordered decisively: "Charles, come back!"

However, Charles seemed not to hear his grandfather's call, but turned a deaf ear to it. He continued to attack without defending, and his fighting was full of vigor, but in fact, it was full of loopholes. If Matthews wanted to fight back, he could have locked his throat with one move if he wanted to.

Upon seeing this, Grand Duke Bai Lan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "Enough! Charles, get back here immediately!"

Although Charles was full of reluctance, he knew that he could no longer disobey his grandfather's orders. He glared at Matthews fiercely to show his anger, then snorted reluctantly and turned to leave the training ground.
