Chapitre 15: Battling by Themselves
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
Roar!
In the eyes of the Eight-Eyed black wolf, everyone was akin to ants. Seeing that those ants dared launch an attack at it, the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf opened its blood-filled mouth wide and roared in fury.
Instantly, Su Hei's nostrils were assaulted by a pungent stench. Because of that unbearable odor, his punches got a little slower.
"Nasty beast!" he cursed.
Su Hei's eyes were ice-cold. A burst of aura suddenly exploded from him. A punch that contained 60,000 pounds of combat strength landed in the space between the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf's brows.
Boom!
His punch was so powerful that the entire forest was shaking from it.
Roar!
The Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf turned to look at Su Hei, wanting to swallow him whole.
Luckily, because of that powerful punch and taking advantage of gravity, Su Hei could quickly land on the ground and avoid its move.
"This fellow has a really hard head," commented Su Hei.
He quickly avoided the beast's attacks. Su Hei could feel that after delivering that powerful punch earlier, his fist was a little numb now.
He had used all his might in that punch, yet it was not enough to hurt the wolf at all.
"Chu Chen!" Su Hei yelled.
Chu Chen quickly got beside Su Hei, taking over his spot.
As a martial artist who had Shield talent, even if he was made of flesh and bones, Chu Chen's body was still more durable and resilient than that of other martial artists.
Hence, Chu Chen was the most suitable person to take the brunt of the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf's attack.
"Everyone, aim at its body and then hit with all your might!" ordered Su Hei.
As he gave the command, he quickly rushed toward Jiang Jinyu.

In the military camp.
Including Qin Feng, everyone in the City Defense Team was staring intently at the respective detectors that they were in charge of.
"Feng, what's the situation now?" Xun Chengwu's voice came from the wireless intercom.
Having traveled at full speed for such a long period, even Xun Chengwu found that this was too much for him to bear.
"The black-ringed leopards have left, but the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf saw them. Both sides are locked in a stalemate now," reported Qin Feng.
"In Su Hei's team, there's quite a lot of people who aren't able to run."
"But it seems like Su Hei doesn't intend to give up on them."
"Su Hei? H-he… I can't believe he…" Qin Feng's words trailed off.
As he was reporting to Xun Chengwu on Su Hei's latest updates, Qin Feng suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the monitor in disbelief.
Xun Chengwu's voice came over the intercom once more. He urged Qin Feng to continue speaking.
"What? What has happened to Su Hei?" Xun Chengwu asked.
Qin Feng inhaled a sharp breath. Only after confirming that his eyes were not playing tricks on him did he give a reply to Xun Chengwu.
"Su Hei has led his team in launching an attack on the wolf!" he informed.
After he finished his sentence, everyone present was startled.
Xun Chengwu's disbelieving voice blared once more over the intercom.
"W-what did you say?"
"Are you sure of it?"
Everyone was like mere ants in the eyes of a Grandmaster. An army of ants launching an attack on a Grandmaster—That was equivalent to a suicide mission!
"This is a sticky situation!"
Xun Chengwu had a distressed look on his face. Despite that, he was still traveling at full speed.
-
In the valley.
Everyone fought ferociously.
Chu Chen was responsible for leading a team of martial artists who had defensive-type of combat talents. They surrounded the wolf's head and continued to attack it fearlessly. From time to time, someone would be knocked backward when they got struck by the beast.
However, after that person spat out a mouthful of blood, he stood back up and rejoined the fight.
As for Li Hua, she led a team of martial artists who had offense-based combat talents and attacked the lower part of the beast's body.
"Its head is as hard as copper, and its bones are like iron. But its waist is as soft as tofu. Li Hua, let's direct all our attacks at its waist," said Jiang Jinyu.
After saying that, Jiang Jinyu quickened her steps and dashed toward the wolf. Li Hua also cooperated with her and got closer to the beast's waist.
Bang!
There was a loud collision sound as Jiang Jinyu and Li Hua focused on attacking the beast, landing blow after blow on the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf's body.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the difference between themselves and a beast that was at the Spirit level.
The wolf suddenly flew into a rage!
"Retreat!" Li Hua yelled.
She immediately noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, Li Hua was not agile enough so she was sent flying out when the beast rammed its massive head into her.
Every martial artist who was attacking the wolf felt a powerful force emerge from it, and they were sent flying backward.
Jiang Jinyu managed to evade this powerful wave because her Assassin talent gave her an agility advantage.
Li Hua suffered the most damage. She flew 20 meters through the air before landing on the ground. Li Hua spat out some blood and tried to stand.
"Watch out, Li Hua!"
Someone shouted to warn her.
Only then did everyone see that the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf had dashed in front of Li Hua with lightning speed.
A stench of rottenness and decay wafted up into Li Hua's face. There were specks of dried blood on the beast's claws.
Rip!
There was a ripping sound.
Drops of blood dripped from its claws.
"Huahua!"
Su Hei had a savage look on his face, and he fixed the beast with a baleful look.
Su Hei strode vigorously over to Li Hua. He clenched his fists so hard that his veins were popping out. Small sparks started to emerge from his clenched fist, gradually turning into flames.
He delivered a fiery punch onto the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf's neck.
-
In the military camp.
Qin Feng stared at the monitor with wide eyes.
"Sh*t… Am I seeing things? Su Hei can envelop his body with his elemental power?"
Everyone was staring at the screen with astonishment.
Especially when they saw flames burning on Su Hei's fist, they were all in an uproar.
Xun Chengwu was on the move, and when he heard Qin Feng's exclamation through the intercom, he could not help but feel puzzled.
"That's a trait of someone who has become a Grandmaster. It's nothing to make a fuss over," Xun Chengwu said.
Qin Feng's Adam's apple bobbed and waves of excited emotion rolled through him.
"Su Hei has very stable fire elemental power appearing on his fists."
Xun Chengwu could not believe his ears. "What!" he exclaimed.
He was rendered speechless.
"A-are you sure about that?"
Xun Chengwu was slightly breathless, and he could not even pronounce his words properly.
"To think that a teenager who has just awakened his talent has traits of a Grandmaster on him and can surround his fists with fire. His talent is so terrifying!"
Qin Feng rubbed his eyes and blinked hard.
"This is real! It's real!" he exclaimed.
"This fellow is terrifying. Is he really only 18 years old?"
Everyone was plunged into deep shock.
As martial artists, their aptitudes were the most important. Many people tried their entire lives but were unable to become Grandmasters.
However, this eighteen-year-old teenager was able to do so.
Some people might ask, "What is a genius?"
This was what a genius was like!
-
"Ha!"
Su Hei was not startled to see that flames had appeared around his fists. At that moment, his eyes were bloodthirsty. He let out a shout and plunged his fiery, flaming fist onto the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf's head.
Boom!
Instantly, the ember on his fists erupted into giant flames.
The punch that had an impact of tens of thousands of power caused a vast pit that was over two meters deep to appear beneath the Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf's feet.
Every inch of the beast's body was covered with blazing fire.
The Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf let out continuous howls of pain.
Very soon, the air smelled of the odor of burnt flesh.
"Wolves are most afraid of fire. It's highly vulnerable now. Wang Dong, heal Li Hua. As for the rest of you, follow me!" commanded Su Hei.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone answered him at the same time.
Warriors, Assassins, Shields, Blacksmiths, Swordsman…
A vortex of anger swirled within them. 10 or so martial artists launched a simultaneous attack on the beast.
The Eight-Eyed Blood Wolf let out continuous howls of pain.
It was already hurt by Su Hei's punch, so its defense was at an all-time low. Hence, when it was attacked by everyone at once, it let out a series of miserable howls.
Suddenly, it collapsed to the ground and lay unmoving.
"It's dead?"
"It's dead!"
"Our class president is awesome!"
"Senior Class One is the best!"
In that instant, the valley resounded with the sound of whoops and cheers.
