75: Fighting

Chapter 75: Battle

About ten meters above the ground, Xu Jingzhe descended from the sky, his posture like a hungry tiger pouncing on prey.

The Contaminator on the ground sensed the approaching danger and abruptly turned around.

As he turned, his arms underwent beast transformation, becoming covered in dense, tiny scales.

"Thump!"

A fierce collision!

Because Xu Jingzhe had utilized the momentum of his descent from high altitude, the single blow knocked the man back dozens of meters, and several scales flew off his fist.

The scales that flew off embedded themselves into a large rock.

The man shook his arm, staring solemnly at Xu Jingzhe, then glanced up at Vladimir in the sky.

"Such hard bone, it's the first time I've seen it!"

"Nine years?"

Xu Jingzhe shook his head, holding up his palm and saying, "Five years."

"To be this powerful in just five years, is your mutation internal?" Chen Tong followed up, asking.

He was trying to stall for time and think of a way to escape.

With his current eight-year strength, he certainly couldn't defeat both of them.

Dealing with the person right in front of him was about all he could manage.

"You talk too much."

Xu Jingzhe sneered; it wasn't like he couldn't see through his intentions.

Letting out a low roar, he charged forward, throwing a punch.

He had been in the Pollution Zone for less than half a year, and Dilisi had trained him for half a month. His attack methods were simple punches, elbow strikes, and kicks; he didn't have any profound techniques.

Chen Tong was wary and dared not use his full strength

when had he ever been suppressed by a five-year Contaminator?

It was truly frustrating!

"Don't worry about the one in the sky; he won't intervene."

"Show me your real strength. If you win against me, you can leave. If you lose, leave your pollution core behind!"

Xu Jingzhe's fists were like a sudden storm, each punch faster than the last.

Seeing this, Chen Tong no longer held back his strength. The blood essence surged within him, the hardness of his scales increased, glowing a strange blue-purple under the moonlight

it was more than twice as strong as before.

Someone actually dared to compare physical bodies with him; he couldn't have asked for more.

Having spent twelve or thirteen years in the Pollution Zone, no Contaminator below the ten-year level had ever gained an advantage over him in terms of physical strength.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The two men's fists collided, creating a sonic boom in the air.

It was the most primal physical confrontation, fist meeting flesh. Xu Jingzhe pursed his lips, his mind focused only on continuously throwing punches.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged hundreds of blows.

However, the more Chen Tong fought, the more astonished he became!

This handsome and imposing youth in front of him, whose face even carried a hint of harmlessness, seemed to possess endless energy within him, and every punch was heavy and powerful.

He couldn't withstand this kind of chaotic punching style, which could wear out even a seasoned master!

"Clang!"

With another collision, the scales on the back of Chen Tong's hand were directly blasted off, revealing a large area of tender flesh from which blood continuously oozed.

He shook his hand and pointed at Xu Jingzhe, saying, "You are very powerful. Are you perhaps the legendary young genius?"

Xu Jingzhe was calm, shaking his head and replying, "I am just an ordinary person."

"Whether you are a genius or not, forcing me to reveal my true form is enough for you to be proud of!"

After speaking, Chen Tong tore his clothes. Scales erupted all over his body, and a tail grew out.

It turned out to be a pangolin!

Its scarlet eyes were bloodshot, and its tongue, nearly a meter long, occasionally flicked out of its mouth, making a hissing sound.

"Roar!"

With a low roar, the ground trembled slightly. Chen Tong charged toward Xu Jingzhe like an armored vehicle.

Xu Jingzhe planted his feet, gathering power in both hands and pushing them forward.

"Boom!"

Their bodies collided. Xu Jingzhe was sent flying by the pangolin's charge, his body bent into a bow shape.

The pangolin's head pressed tightly against Xu Jingzhe's abdomen, and its strong, powerful limbs exerted force, reaching the peak speed of its life.

Behind Xu Jingzhe was a rock seven or eight meters high, and the pangolin intended to smash him to death!

Turning him into a meat sandwich.

Xu Jingzhe recovered his senses, wrapped his arms around the pangolin's head, lifted his legs, and positioned his entire body perpendicular to the ground.

"Crack!"

Just as he completed this movement, they reached the large rock. The immense force directly drove his legs several meters deep into the rock.

Under the reaction force, Xu Jingzhe's legs went numb, his internal organs violently shook, and he immediately vomited his dinner from the night before.

He pulled out the dagger from behind him and forcefully stabbed it toward the pangolin's head.

"Clang!" With one stab, the scales couldn't resist, and the blade plunged seven or eight centimeters deep.

Chen Tong cried out in pain and violently shook his neck. Xu Jingzhe, holding his head, successfully pulled his legs free.

He flipped over and sat on the pangolin's back.

He aimed his fists at the same spot and hammered down, the sound echoing through the silent night like a drumbeat, audible for several miles, a total of thirty-six punches.

Then came a "crack," and the pangolin's bone snapped.

It had to be said that Chen Tong's bones were too hard; Xu Jingzhe needed to smash the same spot that many times.

"Roar!" Chen Tong roared in pain, his huge body twisting, trying to throw Xu Jingzhe off.

But Xu Jingzhe held the dagger in his left hand, stabbed into the pangolin's back as a brace, keeping his body stable.

Immediately after, Xu Jingzhe changed spots, aiming for the pangolin's spine.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

This time, it took forty-nine punches. Chen Tong's proud physical body was shattered, and his spine broke.

He immediately reverted to his human form, spitting out three large mouthfuls of blood, struggling but unable to get up.

With his spine broken and his body lacking support, how could he possibly stand?

He lay on the ground, barely alive, bleeding from his seven orifices.

He couldn't understand: was this person really just a five-year Contaminator?

His vitality was as vast as the sea. After throwing hundreds of punches, there was no sign of his internal strength being depleted.

Why was this?

He was more beastly than him; he was like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus or a mecha!

Xu Jingzhe gasped for breath, looking at the scraped skin on the back of his hand, and said, "Not bad, you actually managed to scratch my hand."

Hearing this, Chen Tong's vision went black, and he nearly passed away right there.

What the hell kind of thing was that to say?

You hit me so many times, shouldn't you have gotten hurt a little?

"You lost, so I'll take the pollution core!"

Xu Jingzhe kicked him over, raised his knife, and swiftly obtained the eight-year pollution core.

It was fortunate that Chen Tong specialized in physical mutation and had his own pride, which allowed Xu Jingzhe to overwhelm him with momentum.

If it had been another eight-year Contaminator, it would be hard to say who would have won.

After the exhilarating fight and the deadly struggle, a sense of heroic spirit welled up in Xu Jingzhe's heart.

Sure enough, only through continuous tempering could he achieve a hundred percent compatibility with his current body.

"My distinguished Master, your physique is truly unmatched."

Vladimir descended from mid-air, flattering Xu Jingzhe.

"Don't blindly praise me; what if I get carried away?"

Xu Jingzhe rolled his eyes at Vladimir and said, "Let's go. Before dawn, we'll continue fighting!"

"Yes."

Vladimir spread his wings. Xu Jingzhe sat cross-legged atop him, taking deep breaths to adjust his mood and slowly relax.

That night, Xu Jingzhe engaged in a total of eight battles, big and small.

He won them all!

Unfortunately, besides Chen Tong, the eight-year Contaminator, the highest level among the remaining seven was only five years.

This left him feeling unsatisfied, as Contaminators below the five-year level could not inflict any real harm on him.
