Chapter 484: Section 271: Come on, hit me hard!
The Dragon-man youth waited for a long time, but seeing no attack from the Spring Boxer, he couldn’t help but raise his voice, “Why haven’t you attacked yet?”
“Be braver!”
The Spring Boxer turned a deaf ear.
“Always hopping around, don’t you get tired?”
“Wasting energy like this isn’t smart.”
The Spring Boxer pretended not to hear.
The Dragon-man youth heaved a deep sigh, “Fighting this way is really a waste of time. Hurry it up, I plan to challenge the other leaders too.”
Finally, the Spring Boxer burst out laughing, “Long Fu squad leader, do you think such a simple provocation will make me fall into your trap?”
“Today’s battle is destined to be a war of attrition!”
The Spring Boxer remembered Teng Donglang’s orders to fight a war of attrition, to exhaust the enemy, in order to figure out more of the Dragon-man youth’s combat methods.
The Dragon-man youth, watching the Spring Boxer bouncing around, suddenly proposed, “How about you try hitting me, young Snow Elf, and I won’t fight back.”
“As long as you can make me bleed, you win. My challenge will end here, and I won’t challenge any other leaders, let alone your Gang Leader.”
The watching bystanders all showed surprised expressions.
The words of the Dragon-man youth were very familiar to them. Before this, Ban Langen had said something pretty similar to the Dragon-man youth.
“Hmm?” The Spring Boxer’s heart jolted.
While continuing to spring around, he pondered: Could this be another plot by the Dragon-man youth?
“Long Fu obviously wants to end the battle quickly. He’s very confident in his defense, while our leader has instructed me to try to figure out his true capabilities. I can’t let the enemy get what he wants!”
The Spring Boxer shouted, “I don’t agree with this proposal. I want a fair fight, to exert all my strength and techniques, and have a true duel.”
“You’re underestimating me with such a proposal!”
The Dragon-man youth laughed heartily, ignoring the Spring Boxer’s rejection, “Let’s do it my way.”
“Come on.” He placed his hands behind his back, standing upright, openly vulnerable, “Next, I will only block and not counterattack.”
Seeing his opponent’s stance, the Spring Boxer’s heart skipped a beat again, feeling more than ever that it was a trap by the Dragon-man youth.
He became even more reluctant to act rashly.
However, all of this was within the expectations of the Dragon-man youth.
Soon, the onlooking bystanders became restless.
In their eyes, the Spring Boxer hopping around without attacking, dilly-dallying–what was the point?
“Come on, fight!”
“Stop running around!”
“Ah, it’s so frustrating to watch. What’s the point of delaying time like this?”
Those who come to watch always enjoy a big scene.
The Spring Boxer, hearing these voices, clenched his teeth tighter.
He realized the danger: if he continued to drag this out, people might think he was afraid of the opponent and didn’t dare to confront him head-on.
His reputation, as well as that of Saber Gang, would be damaged as a result.
With no other choice, the Spring Boxer was finally compelled to make a move.
Combat Skill—Spring Punch!
The Spring Boxer compressed the springs between his two arms into one, then suddenly released them, using the powerful elastic force to drive his fist forward like a bomb.
The silver-gleaming fist guard struck the Dragon-man youth’s chest solidly.
However, the Dragon-man youth’s body was like a mountain, immovable.
The Spring Boxer’s pupils shrunk, and he shouted while launching another combat skill.
He drew his arms back, interlacing his fingers from both hands to form a single fist.
The spring, replacing the elbow, compressed and released once more.
Combat Skill—Double Spring Punch!
The Spring Boxer’s eyes shone with determination.
This was his strongest attack!
He had once tried to use this move to attack a golden silk chain armor shield of Golden Level.
Under the assault of the Double Spring Punch, even the surface of the Golden Level shield had some small cracks.
“Fall for me, Long Fu!” the Spring Boxer shouted in his heart.
But the reality was that the Dragon-man youth’s upper body shook slightly.
After withstanding the Heavy Punch, his chest was unscathed, not even a single Dragon Scale was broken.
“That’s somewhat interesting.”
“But it’s not enough.”
“Come again!” the Dragon-man youth said to the Spring Boxer with a smile.
The Spring Boxer’s face was filled with shock, followed by even more intense anger.
He drew back his rebounding arms, without any breathlessness, and pounced again.
Combat Skill—Double Spring Punch!
The Heavy Punch hit the Dragon-man youth’s chest once more, his upper body shaking in response.
“Not strong enough, come again,” the Dragon-man youth growled.
Thus, the Spring Boxer delivered the Double Spring Punch a third time.
But this time, the shaking of the Dragon-man youth’s upper body was much less than the previous two times.
“Are you out of strength? Why are you getting worse?” the Dragon-man youth tauntingly shouted in feigned disappointment.
The Spring Boxer was so infuriated he was gasping for air.
This move, his most powerful attack, was not actually meant to be used consecutively.
It placed a huge strain on both his body and the springs at his elbows.
“I don’t believe your defense will always be this strong!” the Spring Boxer roared.
Driven by intense anger, he stood in front of the Dragon-man youth.
Combat Skill—Chaotic Bullet Punch.
Bang, bang, bang…
The Spring Boxer swung his fists furiously; his punch speed was so fast, it whipped up a tempest akin to a wild storm.
As the Dragon-man youth did not dodge or move away, every punch from the Spring Boxer landed on his body.
The Dragon-man youth held his head high and chest out, hands behind his back, strictly adhering to what he had just said, never fighting back, continuously parrying.
His posture incited even crazier fervor from the Spring Boxer.
The speed of his punches grew faster and faster, the consumption of his fighting energy became intensely unprecedented.
The strength of the Chaotic Bullet Punch Skill made the Dragon-man youth unable to stop backing up.
But not a single one of the Dragon-man youth’s scales showed signs of breaking.
As the Dragon-man youth was pushed back by the Spring Boxer, an excited smile appeared on his face, and he kept encouraging him.
“Good, very good.”
“Keep it up!”
“Now you’re looking somewhat impressive.”
“If you continue like this, you might actually succeed in drawing blood from me.”
Upon hearing these words, the Spring Boxer could not contain his rage, letting out a continuous roar.
His punches became even more ferocious.
The Dragon-man youth continued to back up several steps, then, he began to feel the weakening of the Spring Boxer’s onslaught.
He immediately said, “Are you tired already?”
“Did you not eat?”
The Spring Boxer grew furious; his punch speed increased again, even surmounting what it was before.
But the good times didn’t last, and soon his punch strength waned once more.
The Dragon-man youth commented with a disappointed tone:
“Your physical strength is too weak.”
“Come on, give it your all, don’t hold back, attack me with everything you’ve got.”
“Is that it? Is that all you’ve got?”
“Punch harder, with all your strength!”
“Is this really your full strength?”
“Do you need a little food? Or perhaps, some milk?”
“Ah ah ah…” The Spring Boxer was infuriated, roaring continuously until his voice grew hoarse.
He was already a hot-blooded youth.
The way the Dragon-man youth spoke was utterly infuriating.
But no matter how intense the anger, it could not make the Dragon-man youth spit blood.
The Spring Boxer’s physical strength and fighting energy would not replenish just because his chest was filled with resentment.
The barrage of Chaotic Bullet Punches gradually came to a halt.
The Spring Boxer’s punch speed slowed.
Gradually, even ordinary people could observe his movements.
Finally, his punches became slower and slower, so slow that it seemed as if they were weighted down by lead balls.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
He was so out of breath he could only focus on inhaling and exhaling air, unable to roar any longer.
His fists could not be swung, even his arms could not be lifted.
But his eyes still glared fiercely at the Dragon-man youth, revealing his unyielding spirit.
The Dragon-man youth looked at the Spring Boxer with a smile: “You managed to push me back this far, not too shabby.”
These words were like an invisible iron spike, deeply piercing into the heart of the Snow Elf youth.
The Spring Boxer, feeling blackness before his eyes from anger, his sweat-drenched body shook violently, nearly collapsing onto the ground.
“It does hurt a bit.” The Dragon-man youth gently wiped his chest.
There, the red dragon scales were just as before, without a single sign of damage.
The gazes of others were drawn.
Passers-by gasped in unison.
“It’s fake, right?”
“My God, how could he be completely unharmed?!”
“What did I just witness?!”
“Monstrous defensive power, I feel a bit sorry for the Spring Boxer now.”
All sorts of murmurs entered the ears of the Spring Boxer, and his angry eyes gradually filled with bewilderment.
The Dragon-man youth indeed was unharmed, but it wasn’t solely due to his dragon scales.
It’s true that he possessed the legendary bloodline of the King of Flame Dragon, but this legacy bloodline was not complete.
The Dragon-man youth’s dragon scales were comparable to Golden Level armor, but the attacks unleashed by the Spring Boxer with all his might could not be underestimated, their strength considerable. Ordinary Golden Level armor would have cracked from enduring so many blows.
If the Dragon-man youth had simply relied on his scales, his chest scales would be damaged by now.
The reason they weren’t was that the Dragon-man youth also wore golden silk chain armor!
This was a piece of armor that reached the Golden Level, acquired by the survivors at an auction on Twin Eyes Island.
The Dragon-man youth, intending to challenge Teng Donglang at the Golden Level, naturally made some preparations before setting out.
The survivors had applied Deception and Disguise Skills and the Anti-Intelligence Prophecy Skill to the golden silk chain armor, rendering it completely “invisible” to the average eye.
Even as the Spring Boxer kept hitting the Dragon-man youth, he could not detect any flaw through touch.
The materials used in the Deception and Disguise Skill were Divine Level items such as Pearl Bubble. Under normal circumstances, such a spell would be a dimensional strike to outsiders.
Thus, the defense of the Dragon-man youth was not solely his dragon scales, but included the addition of the golden silk chain armor.
The double protection of the Golden Level made him highly confident in his defensive power.
Real combat proved the Dragon-man youth’s confidence.
The Spring Boxer’s attack strength was considerable, but even using up all his strength, he couldn’t inflict any damage on the Dragon-man youth. The dragon scales, protected by the golden silk chain armor, did not suffer a single scratch, let alone cause the Dragon-man youth to spill blood.
