Chapter 282: Enormous Advantage

The dragonman youngster’s accelerating speed grew even faster.

Because his elbows, back, and even the bottom of his feet had sprouted spurting smoke mounds.

This gave him forward thrust in every direction.

The him from before could never have done this.

Previously, he could only use two spurting mounds on his back, no more than that.

After ingesting Spring Boxer’s battle experience, the dragonman youngster’s movement abilities had an enormous upgrade. 

This gave him enough energy to control a third spurting smoke mound.

Since the battle began, Xiong Ju had never sunk into such a predicament!

He was enduring incomparable resentment.

After the dragonman youngster’s speed rose dramatically, the battle tempo suddenly expanded.

Xiong Ju was unable to adapt to this kind of tempo, and under the dragonman youngster’s constant surprise attacks, he was unable to use battle skills.

This kind of battle dispirited him.

Xiong Ju angrily raised his head and roared, then ferociously stood up straight and swung the Gold Flower Hacksaw horizontally viciously.

He wanted to use this to force the dragonman youngster to pull back and give him space to regroup.

But it was obvious what he was overthinking things. 

This large movement was full of mistakes in the dragonman youngster’s eyes.

A split second later, the dragonman youngster suddenly planted his body nearly flat to the tiles and then shot out like a gigantic arrow.

A moment later, the dragonman youngster struck Xiong Ju’s calf.

Xiong Ju’s struck calf flew backwards, causing him to suddenly lose his footing and be tripped by the dragonman youngster.

The dragonman youngster seized the opportunity to use Demolition Fist to explode Xiong Ju into the air.

Xiong Ju’s legs flew two meters above the ground.

His body was very heavy and quickly fell back down.

But a moment later, the dragonman youngster appeared underneath Xiong Ju.

Xiong Ju realized things were going terribly, but in the air it was hard for him to adjust his body in time.

The dragonman youngster struck with his two fists.

Battle skill – Demolition Fist!

Although Demolition Fist’s fury was blocked by the Flowing Wave Armor, the remaining power was enough to keep the falling Xiong Ju in the air.

The dragonman youngster blasted yellow flames from his feet’s ring mounds with all he had.

The strong explosive force, along with his thigh and calf muscles, instantly rocketed his entire being into the air. 

Xiong Ju had finally adjusted his posture in the air.

He looked down at the charging dragonman youngster, then with the Gold Flower Hacksaw firmly in his grasp, he lifted it up, then ferociously chopped down at the dragonman youngster.

This posture was very suitable for using the battle skill [Mountain Splitter].

But the dragonman youngster’s battle tempo was too fast, and if Xiong Ju forced himself to use a battle skill, it would certainly expose greater vulnerabilities.

However, even with an ordinary downward chop, as a gold level weapon, the Gold Flower Hacksaw still had immense attack power.

Faced with the chopping Gold Flower Hacksaw, ring mounds suddenly appeared on the dragonman youngster’s left arm.

A total of five ring mounds of various sizes flared, and the enormous kinetic energy produced pushed the dragonman youngster backwards in a flash.

The dragonman youngster easily avoided the Gold Flower Hacksaw’s swing, then vanished from Xiong Ju’s field of view.

When Xiong Ju relocated the dragonman youngster, the latter was already ambushing him from the right.

Xiong Ju was thrown towards the ground by the dragonman youngster once again.

The dragonman youngster, by contrast, used his ring mounds to ascend higher into the air.

In the air, he twisted his dragon tail to effortlessly and quickly adjusted himself into a diving stance.

He put both hands behind his back, his palms facing backwards.

His perfectly straight body swooped down towards the falling Xiong Ju.

In order to produce the greatest driving force, the 3 ring mounds on the dragonman youngster’s back, along with the 4 on his thighs and palms were all constantly jetting with yellow flames.

The dragonman youngster accelerated further as a result.

He was like a shooting artillery shell whose speed stirred up the wind.

Xiong Ju heard the whistling wind approaching him, and quickly threw his arm, wanting to turn the Gold Flower Hacksaw around.

But a moment later, the dragonman youngster ruthlessly rammed him.

Battle skill – Demolition Fist!

The exploding fist smashed into Xiong Ju’s belly.

The Flowing Wave Armor burst with a massive spray of water and was cut into twain in the middle of Xiong Ju’s belly, exposing the greatest gap in his defense so far.

Luckily, he still had the silver level leather armor under it.

But Xiong Ju’s body was bent by the attack, his back protruding out.

The dragonman youngster took a deep breath, then used another battle skill – Machine Gun Fist.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

For a moment, blurred dragon fists flew like the rain!

Xiong Ju’s field of view was completely filled with innumerable fists.

His head, chest, arms, legs, and abdomen were punched by those fists.

The pain and fear in his heart leapt up, replacing his irritation and rage.

Xiong Ju realized: if he couldn’t withstand this round of attacks, he would inevitably lose!

Battle skill – Black Armor!

At the moment of victory or defeat, Xiong Ju used all of his strength to use a defensive battle skill.

Under these circumstances, this was a massive risk.

Generally speaking, defensive battle skills were used in advance and shouldn’t be disturbed when used to make them safe and effective.

Xiong Ju’s entire body was being punched in critical areas, and the external force on his body, along with the pain was also strongly disturbing him.

Battle skills did not always work the first time used.

If the internal battle qi circulation wasn’t complete, it would fail.

At minimum, failing led to coughing up blood, worsening to internal injuries, near death, and even death!

Xiong Ju had no choice but to take this risk for the sake of victory.

Fortunately, his risk paid off.

Xiong Ju’s foundation was quite strong.

He had tempered many battle skills into instinct.

When crisis came knocking, his instincts would grow more powerful to forcibly resist formidable external interference and allow him to use his defensive battle skill.

In a split second, Xiong Ju’s skin turned black and became very hard.

When the dragonman youngster’s fists struck the skin, it unexpectedly produced sounds of metal being struck.

Meanwhile, Xiong Ju raised his farms to firmly protect his head and curled up as much as possible to reduce his area of attack.

Machine Gun Fist had a high frequency of attack, but in terms of instant output, it couldn’t compare to Demolition Fist.

The dragonman youngster was unable to break Xiong Ju’s defensive stance.

Very quickly, the Small Thunder God Flying Hammer whizzed over, once again pestering him.

The dragonman youngster was overflowing with battle intent and didn’t dodge or evade, continuing to fire away with Machine Gun Fist as the flying hammer kept pounding at him.

In this manner, the dragonman youngster assaulted Xiong Ju as they fell from the sky.

Xiong Ju felt to the ground, with the dragonman youngster standing on him, still beating him up!

“I was actually hit to the ground. Damn it, let me stand up!” Xiong Ju was incomparably resentful.

Against an opponent of the same level, he had seldom been put in such a difficult and passive situation.

He had always been on top, while his opponent was underneath him, when had he every been at such a disadvantage!?

The dragonman youngster was actually the strongest silver level he had ever faced.

Against the dragonman youngster’s Machine Gun Fist, the Flowing Wave Armor revealed its design flaws, gaps kept on forming and it could no longer protect Xiong Ju.

Xiong Ju’s leather armor was also struck by Machine Gun Fist and became damaged in many areas.

He sensed the pain the rainstorm of punches caused, doing his best to maintain his defensive battle skill to protect himself.

Xiong Ju sank completely into a passive state.

If this continued, and he failed to turn the situation around, the dragonman youngster would beat him into submission.

However, the Gold Flower Hacksaw had fallen to the side.

Although the Black Bear Armor battle skill was strong, it took more than half of a body’s battle qi circulation to use.

Under these circumstances, Xiong Ju couldn’t use other battle skills.

But it didn’t matter, he still had his bloodline racial magic.

Racial magic – Bear Roar!

The dragonman youngster saw him open his mouth, already on guard. He suddenly sighed in exasperation and immediately pulled back.

Xiong Ju’s methods weren’t limited to just that.

He used his spirit to throw the Small Thunder God Flying Hammer.

After the flying hammer spiraled around, it went to stop the dragonman youngster.

But the dragonman youngster’s speed was far beyond what it once was, and after nimbly changing directions, he easily shook off the flying hammer.

A moment later, Bear Roar burst out.

The dragonman youngster was already out of range.

Despite taking the potion Zi Di had given him before the battle, it was not enough to take on Bear Roar head on.

Xiong Ju quickly crawled back up, gasped for breath, and finally freed himself from his predicament.

The Bayonet Gang members in the audience were watching the duel on edge, and when they saw Xiong Ju finally escaping, they all let out a breath, then shortly after, they let out loud cheers and hoots to encourage Xiong Ju’s moral, wanting him to ruthlessly take back the bout. 

When Teng Dong Lang saw this, he also let out a breath surreptitiously.

When Xiong Ju was hit up into the air, then back down, his heart was thumping tensely.

Xiong Ju was only a silver level, he couldn’t fly.

When he was launched into the air, and didn’t have any footholds, he passively got thrashed.

In this aspect, the dragonman youngster and him had a distinct contrast.

Even though the dragonman youngster can’t fly either, his spurting smoke ring mounds could give him strong motive power that allowed him to exert himself even while in the air.

“Fortunately, Long Fu’s battle skill and strength was not enough to keep Xiong Ju in the air.”

“Xiong Ju’s defensive battle skill also activated at that crucial juncture.” Teng Dong Lang thought.

The situation just now was an enormous opportunity for the dragonman youngster.

But currently, the dragonman youngster was only strong enough to create this opportunity to get an advantage and was unable to turn this advantage into a victory.

Xiong Ju picked up the Gold Flower Hacksaw, lifted it up with both hands, and gathered himself to continue fighting the dragonman youngster.

The last clash cut too deeply, and now Xiong Ju was very cautious and made a supreme effort to prevent himself from being hit into the sky by the dragonman youngster.

Bear Roar had gotten him out his beatdown without a hitch, and he thought about using again to restrain the dragonman youngster.

However, its actual combat effectiveness wasn’t that good.

The dragonman youngster was very wary of Bear Roar, and his absurd speed allowed him to smoothly dodge Bear Roar.

The Small Thunder God Flying Hammer was already having less of an impact.

“Damn it, how is his speed still increasing?” Sensing this phenomenon, Xiong Ju felt his heart slightly chill.
