Chapter 498 - 498: Xiao Xiao Long Leaves! (1)
“Pan Yi Ting, we had an agreement. If I win this time, you will go on a date with me…”
Xiao Xiao Long’s eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Pan Yi Ting. After several life-and-death battles, he no longer pretended, unabashedly displaying his desire.
Pan Yi Ting just remained silent.
Huo Zhen Wu was putting on a smile even after hearing those words. He was not angry but rather seemed mocking Xiao Xiao Long.
Ji Wu Shuang, serving as the temporary referee, stood between the two, “In this strange environment and monsters, we should naturally help each other…”
“However, since you two have a personal grudge, I won’t say much. Just one thing, I must emphasize: this battle is just a spar, don’t let it result in any fatalities!”
She spoke with a warning look in her eyes towards Huo Zhen Wu, seemingly having already concluded who would win or lose in her heart.
These ancient martial arts successors surely couldn’t have killed more monsters than Xiao Xiao Long, right?!
At most, they would have undergone thirty or forty enhancements. With Xiao Xiao Long’s boxing experience and superior physical fitness, even if Zhao Yu entered the fray, he couldn’t guarantee a sure win.
In contrast, almost everyone among the ancient martial arts successors seemed certain of Huo Zhen Wu’s victory.
Among the over a hundred people who came with Ji Wu Shuang and others, only about ten possessed this confident gaze. The rest, looking like ordinary people, were merely watching the excitement without making any judgement about who would win.
“Let’s start!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be merciful. After all, he is Ting Ting’s cousin after all…”
Ji Wu Shuang not saying much else. She raised her right hand, hesitated for a moment, then swung it down forcefully, “Begin!”
The next second, she swiftly retreated, quickly moving back four to five meters.
Zhao Yu’s pupils constricted at the speed Ji Wu Shuang had just displayed, far surpassing his own Lightfoot Technique.
Moreover, Ji Wu Shuang’s movements were graceful, effortlessly fast as if the motion was casual and not her full strength.
This made Zhao Yu’s expression turn curious again.
He had thought he had a high regard for these ancient martial arts successors, but it seemed he had underestimated them.
Thus, he became more interested in the battle between the two in the arena.
On the field, Xiao Xiao Long and Huo Zhen Wu didn’t immediately engage in a fierce battle, but slowly closed the distance between them.
Although Huo Zhen Wu was confident in his victory, he didn’t underestimate his opponent, seemingly wanting to determine Xiao Xiao Long’s strength first.
When they were about five meters apart, Xiao Xiao Long couldn’t hold back anymore. With a stomp, a bowl-sized pit appeared on the ground and countless gravels float in the middle of air.
Immediately following with a fierce storm of punches shooting the gravels towards Huo Zhen Wu as distraction. With that, Xiao Xiao Long like a raging tiger, roared and charged towards Huo Zhen Wu.
“Boom-!”
In just a 0.1 second, the fists of the two collided and created an air and sonic blast to the surrounding.
“So powerful!”
“I can’t even see their fists clearly…”
The surrounding people exclaimed.
Although many people knew that Enhancers were far stronger than normal people, not many had actually seen an Enhancer fight.
Both of them have their punches collided countless times in a few seconds.
With that performance, Zhao Yu estimated that Xiao Xiao Long’s physical fitness had been enhanced at least forty or even fifty times.
Even so, what surprised him was that Huo Zhen Wu was able to exchange blows with Xiao Xiao Long calmly without using any martial techniques. He just merely reacted to Xiao Xiao Long’s attack!
He was just testing Xiao Xiao Long now?
As Zhao Yu contemplated this, he speculated that Huo Zhen Wu was currently trying to gauge Xiao Xiao Long’s strength.
As he thought, the flurry of their punches filled the air, with the sound of their collisions gradually intensifying.
Clearly, both of them had been holding back earlier, testing each other’s strength.
“Boom—Boom—Boom! Boom!”
Finally, after nearly a hundred punches, Xiao Xiao Long let out a strange cry, feinting a move and delivering a heavy counterpunch.
His signature technique and move had previously laid many boxers low.
However, he realized that Huo Zhen Wu’s body didn’t show any dodging sign and he was not panic like his past opponents. Instead, there was a faint smile.
As soon as they clashed and unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao Long was sent flying out at a high speed.
He rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop when he collided with the audience.
“Phew-!”
With his body abruptly halting, Xiao Xiao Long felt a sweetness in his throat and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Xiao Long’s arm was twisted and obviously fractured.
The last punch of their exchange was extremely fast and heavy. Even Zhao Yu couldn’t clearly see what happened. He only sensed a faint glow on Huo Zhen Wu’s fist, and the next thing was Xiao Xiao Long flying.
“Hehe!”
Huo Zhen Wu smiled faintly at Xiao Xiao Long on the ground, “What I just used was merely the most basic form of my Five Elements Fists…”
“If I had used the true technique, you would already be dead!”
His tone was arrogant, but Zhao Yu could see that Huo Zhen Wu had breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, defeating Xiao Xiao Long wasn’t as effortless as he claimed.
Wait…
Zhao Yu sensed the opponent’s energy, which seemed barely diminished, indicating that Huo Zhen Wu’s claim was not false. He was just using physical strength against Xiao Xiao Long, barely wasted any energy on using any martial art that consumed energy.
The sigh he had just released was likely one of vengeance. On the ground, their positions of power were reversed; Huo Zhen Wu, as an ancient martial arts successor, had probably often been mocked by boxers like Xiao Xiao Long..
