Chapter 270: Spring Boxer
The crowd was in an uproar.
“What did I just see?”
“This guy! He launched Ban Lan Gen with a single fist?”
“Oh dear, Ban Lan Gen was too careless.”
“Hey, what just happened?”
After they were told, their eyes widened with incredulousness.
Those who knew the ropes were also shaken.
Even though Ban Lan Gen hadn’t used his true strength, to be knocked out by a single fist meant the commander of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was most certainly no simpleton.
“He has the courage to challenge Lord Teng Dong Lang, naturally he has to be capable.
The dragonman youngster loosened his fist, and slowly stood up, purposely asking Lan Zao loudly, “One down, who is the second?”
The dragonman youngster looked calm, while Lan Zao was more excited.
The latter loudly replied, “Lord Commander, the next block leader is Spring Boxer.
The dragonman youngster nodded, “Very good, let’s go to him next.”
The two advanced, and the crowd automatically parted for them.
The dragonman youngster’s strength had swept away those questioning him, and in exchanged was now looked at with disbelief, curiosity, and reverence.
Teng Dong Lang quickly received news of this fight.
Blue veins showed across his forehead as he clenched his teeth in anger, “Ban Lan Gen, this guy!”
He had intentionally reminded Ban Lan Gen and didn’t expect him to be beaten like this.
A headache.
Teng Dong Lang clutched his forehead, he had implicitly ordered Ban Lan Gen to entangle the dragonman youngster as much as possible, to probe into him and at best, scout out his trump cards.
In the end though, Ban Lan Gen didn’t understand that hidden meaning, and remained arrogant, leading to the dragonman youngster to drop him in a single fist.
Besides contributing to the dragonman youngster’s renown, Ban Lan Gen was completely useless.
“In any case, my plan is sound. Long Fu has already fallen into it, and in light of the plan, he still needs to beat 5 other people. Even if Ban Lan Gen wasn’t able to, the next 5 people should be able to force out his trump cards.”
Teng Dong Lang handled this matter very prudently.
He had the burden of his position; he couldn’t lose this war rashly.
If he lost, he would not only lose his prestige, but that of the entire Bayonet Gang, and even impair their interests.
“Long Fu will be going to Xiao Tan next…”
“Xiao Tan…I fear he isn’t Long Fu’s match.”
The Xiao Tan Teng Dong Lang had his heart on was Spring Boxer.
The latter was a young man, not just the only snow elf ringleader, but also his fellow soldier.
On the battlefield, a fellow soldier of his had heroically sacrificed himself to take a shot for him. On his deathbed, he asked Teng Dong Lang to look after his own relative in the world.
Teng Dong Lang look extreme care of Xiao Tan, however, gunfire on the battlefield had no eyes.
In the first battle, Xiao Tan was taken captive and narrowly avoided being eaten by the enemy.
Although Teng Dong Lang hastily risked his life to rescue Xiao Tan, Xiao Tan’s forearms and lower legs had been chopped off, crippling him.
Too much time had passed, and a priest was unable to heal him.
Xiao Tan consequently sank into despondence for a good while.
Teng Dong Lang then spent a huge sum to modify Xiao Tan’s body alchemically, molding him into the Spring Boxer, one of the six bosses of the Bayonet Gang.
But Teng Dong Lang knew in his heart that Spring Boxer’s strength was considered mid-level among the six ringleaders, and he would be unable to stop Long Fu’s advance.
After pondering it over, Teng Dong Lang suddenly said, “Somone, give my order to Xiao Tan, he will fight Long Fu well and see the ins and outs of his skills, the more information, the better.”
The underling hurried to follow and pass on the order.
This time, Teng Dong Lang learned from his prior experience and made his order clear and obvious.
Spring Boxer would definitely understand it!
Spring Boxer first received news of Ban Lan Gen’s defeat, then he received Teng Dong Lang’s order.
This young snow elf didn’t dare to neglect his duty, so he decided to sally over and intercepted the dragonman youngster and Lan Zao midway.
The dragonman youngster sized up Spring Boxer.
The young snow elf’s hands were both yellow boxing gloves. They wrapped all the way around and emitted a siler level aura.
Apart from that, Spring Boxer’s ankle boots were also silver level equipment.
What was most notable was his elbows and knees, which had all been replaced by thick and enormous elastic springs.
His body had been remolded by alchemy, and that was where his nickname, Spring Boxer, came from.
“Long Fu, you want to challenge Lord Teng Dong Lang, then you’ll have to get through me first! I will stop you will all my strength.” Spring Boxer was solemn and respectful.
The dragonman youngster slyly smiled, commending him, “Not bad, you have a far more proper attitude than Ban Lan Gen. Giving your opponent respect will usher in their respect for you.”
“It is with the greatest respect that I wholeheartedly engross myself in this battle with you!”
“Then come and fight!” Spring Boxer roared, and without fooling around, charged at Long Fu.
Halfway through the charge, the springs that were now his knees firmly compressed, then vigorously sprung out, bestowing him great motive force.
Spring Boxer accelerated massively from this.
The dragonman youngster held his fists up and stood his ground, prepared for battle.
He didn’t move, yet Spring Boxer felt an intense oppression from him.
“This guy…” Spring Boxer secretly clenched his teeth and sensibly altered his direction.
Whoosh!
Spring Boxer circled around the dragonman youngster, shooting from both sides of the street in all directions
His speed grew faster, becoming a shadow that an ordinary person had a hard time distinguishing.
The black streaking silhouette interweaved into a net that gradually hemmed in the dragonman youngster. The dragonman youngster seemed to an insect falling into a web that was made of Spring Boxer’s silhouette shooting in all directions.
Suddenly, Spring Boxer launched at the dragonman youngster’s back, throwing a fierce fist.
The dragonman youngster didn’t move.
“It hit!” Spring Boxer excitedly thought, and both of his fists were about to pound into the dragonman youngster’s back.
Suddenly, a red shadow attacked, blowing a strong wind.
Spring Boxer quickly blocked it with his left fist.
Pow.
A moment later, the dragonman youngster’s dragon tail slammed into Spring Boxer’s left arm.
The enormous power seriously perturbed Spring Boxer’s boxing glove connector.
His offensive immediately crumbled.
The dragonman youngster took advantage of that to turn around and grab Spring Boxer’s left boxing glove.
Spring Boxer fought back but found it hard to struggle free.
The dragonman youngster suddenly raised his foot and ruthlessly kicked Spring Boxer’s abdomen.
Ding.
With a dull echo, Spring Boxer’s frail body nearly folded into two.
The instant he suffered that heavy blow, his eyes nearly flew out of their sockets.
Battle skill – Reverse Spring Leg!
Spring Boxer’s elastic spring legs firmly compressed again, and with silver battle qi washing into them, he successfully used his battle skill.
A moment later, his legs kicked the dragonman youngster’s chest.
Reverse Spring violently launched his body backwards.
At the same time, his right boxing glove used a battle skill – Spiral Fist Wind!
This battle skill was supposed to help his attacks, but now, Spring Boxer was using it to throw off the dragonman youngster’s grapple.
Spring Boxer’s elastic spring arms twisted and compressed, then extended back open.
His left arm suddenly launched forward with an intense cyclonic force.
The dragonman youngster’s left hand was holding Spring Boxer’s fist.
But when the latter’s fist began to spin instantly, the friction across his palm caused the dragonman youngster to let go.
He didn’t have the appropriate battle skill to obstruct Spring Boxer’s battle skill.
Spring Boxer’s arm was freed as a result, and with the help of Reverse Spring Legs’ momentum, he was able to struggle free from the dragonman youngster’s grasp and jump far away, putting space between him and the dragonman youngster.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Spring Boxer squatted on the ground, coughing intensely.
The dragonman youngster’s kick was so powerful that even if he had battle qi protecting him, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
At this moment, pain was spreading and intensifying across his abdomen.
Spring Boxer’s entire face gradually went flush, and matching his squatting hunched stoop, his entire likeness looked like a boiled curled up lobster, a sorry figure indeed.
“I fell into his trap!”
“Long Fu, this guy, he really is strong.”
Spring Boxer looked up at the dragonman youngster, his face showing a trace of terror.
The Flame Dragon King bloodline was legend level, and it gave the dragonman youngster impressive dynamic vision and powerful hearing.
Normal people wouldn’t be able to see Spring Boxer clearly, but the dragonman youngster had locked onto Spring Boxer’s position.
Then, the dragonman youngster purposely exposed a weak point and didn’t look at where Spring Boxer really was, using his back to withstand Spring Boxer’s charge.
Spring Boxer, as expected, walked right into the dragonman youngster’s trap.
The first contest of testing had concluded in a flash.
“How dangerous, luckily I struggled free! If he grappled me, the consequences would be unthinkable.” Spring Boxer had lingering fears.
The dragonman youngster looked at his palm with interest, sensing the intense friction that felt boiling hot.
Then the dragonman youngster slowly looked up towards the squatting Spring Boxer.
A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, and he praised, “How interesting, you got free of my grab by using an agility battle skill. You are a talented combatant and aren’t rigidly adherent to how battle skills are supposed to be used.”
Spring Boxer coldly snorted, “Don’t think a few words of praise can make throw the match!”
He stood back up and catapulted back into it.
With the help of the walls, ground, and other things around him, Spring Boxer once again became as fast as before, becoming a black phantom.
“No, not fast enough!” Spring Boxer grinded his teeth secretly and used more force to reach the limits of his speed.
The dragonman youngster was still standing there, watching Spring Boxer bounce all over the place.
Gradually, Spring Boxer’s shadow slowly drew near to the dragonman youngster.
The dragonman youngster remained motionless, as steady as Mt. Tai.
Due to his prior loss, Spring Boxer didn’t act so blindly this time.
Many times, he moved behind the dragonman youngster but didn’t attack rashly.
Because he knew this was a weak point the dragonman youngster was deliberately flaunting off to him.
