102: The unyielding Lei Zhan

The only explanation for Li Ziyu's incredible speed is that his Body Movement is at the Subtle Body Movement level!

"Yes, a lucky breakthrough," Li Ziyu replied with a smile, his speed also slowing down as he heard Lei Zhan's question.

"Lucky..." Lei Zhan's mouth twitched.

Subtle Body Movement.

Is it something one can break through to by luck?

If it were, his own Body Movement wouldn't still be at the peak level.

Lei Zhan took a deep breath, calming his emotions.

It seems the idea of overpowering Li Ziyu with speed won't work.

Although his realm is higher than Li Ziyu's, his Body Movement is still only at the peak level.

Don't underestimate the difference between Subtle Body Movement and peak level; it's only one realm apart, but the improvement is a world of difference—at least three times greater!

"But thankfully, speed isn't my strong suit to begin with."

"Compared to speed, unparalleled attack power and defense are my advantages."

"It seems I'll have to wait until we enter the Black Dragon King's lair to display my true strength," Lei Zhan thought to himself.

Given Li Ziyu's strength, he will definitely be participating in the National Youth Martial Arts University League with him.

He prefers to subdue people with virtue.

For teammates he'll be seeing constantly, if he can subdue them without a fight and earn their active respect, everyone will be happy.

"Coincidentally, I've made some progress with my Knife Skill recently."

"I'll display a bit of it in the battle against the Black Dragon King later," Lei Zhan decided.

...

At the same time, deep within the Daxing Wilderness Area, Zuo Xiaoqing held a long spear in one hand.

The spear shot out like a dragon, piercing the head of a Level 4 fierce beast, the Electro-Crystal Leopard, like lightning.

The Electro-Crystal Leopard roared unwillingly, its massive body crashing down.

"Senior Zuo, you're amazing! You can instantly kill a Level 4 primary fierce beast with one spear!"

"Here, Senior Zuo, have a Qi Blood Pill to replenish your stamina."

After Zuo Xiaoqing killed the fierce beast, two junior sisters, who were there to create an atmosphere, immediately clapped their hands, their faces filled with admiration.

"It's nothing, junior sisters, just a mere Level 4 primary fierce beast," Zuo Xiaoqing waved his hand, looking nonchalant, but a hint of arrogance seeped into his tone.

After resting in the Wilderness Area, he immediately brought the two girls deep into the Wilderness Area to hunt fierce beasts.

Besides showing off to the two girls, it was also a good opportunity to complete fierce beast hunting missions.

"Let's go, I'll take you to hunt a Level 4 intermediate fierce beast to broaden your horizons," Zuo Xiaoqing twirled the long spear in his hand, picked a direction, and prepared to go deeper.

However, just as he lifted his foot, a roaring vibration suddenly came from the distant forest.

Birds scattered in fright.

Zuo Xiaoqing's expression suddenly changed.

"Not good! A high-level fierce beast is passing by! Hide quickly!"

With that, Zuo Xiaoqing flashed, pulled the two girls, and quickly hid behind a large tree.

Roar!

Just as the three had hidden, Zuo Xiaoqing looked up.

He saw a massive shadow flying over their heads in the sky.

The strong wind stirred up by the shadow made the large tree they were hiding behind creak fiercely.

Some less sturdy trees were directly uprooted by the strong wind stirred up by this shadow.

"Senior Zuo, what kind of fierce beast was that just now?" After the shadow flew past, the three dared to peek out.

The two junior sisters patted their chests, their faces still filled with lingering fear as they looked in the direction where the shadow disappeared, asking in terror.

"It's a Level 4 high-level fierce beast, the Black Dragon King!" Zuo Xiaoqing looked up at the direction where the shadow disappeared, his expression grave.

He then looked around at the chaotic, fallen trees.

"The Black Dragon King merely flying at low altitude caused a scene like a natural disaster passing through."

"The strength of dragon-type fierce beasts truly far surpasses that of ordinary Level 4 high-level fierce beasts!" Zuo Xiaoqing's face was solemn.

However, at the same time, he frowned, a hint of doubt flashing across his face:

"But that's not right?"

"When I came, I specifically avoided the Black Dragon King's activity area, and fierce beasts rarely leave their territory."

"Why would the Black Dragon King appear here?"

"And, the one that just passed by seemed even larger than rumored!"

"Could it be that there's more than one Black Dragon King in the Daxing Wilderness Area!?"

...

Deepest within the Daxing Wilderness Area, two human figures were confronting a dragon-shaped fierce beast.

"Brother, you don't need to take action; just array behind me!" Lei Zhan held two knives crossed in front of his chest, his expression confident.

In front of him, a dragon-shaped fierce beast, completely covered in black scales, stared coldly at Lei Zhan with its vertical pupils.

Li Ziyu looked at the Black Dragon King, several hundred meters away from Lei Zhan.

The Black Dragon King stood as tall as three buildings, resembling the dragons from Western novels.

Black scales covered it from head to tail.

On its massive dragon head were two curved, gleaming dragon horns.

The Black Dragon King's pair of apricot-yellow vertical pupils revealed coldness as it stared coldly at the two of them.

Just by standing there, it exuded a strong sense of oppression.

"Senior Lei, do you really not need my help?" Li Ziyu looked at the colossal creature in front of him, asking Lei Zhan with some hesitation: "This Black Dragon King looks quite strong."

On the way here, Lei Zhan had told Li Ziyu that during the battle with the Black Dragon King, Li Ziyu wouldn't need to take action.

Li Ziyu just needed to watch from the side and prevent other fierce beasts or people from interfering with his battle with the Black Dragon King.

But could Lei Zhan truly handle this colossal creature alone? Li Ziyu was a little doubtful.

"No need, brother."

"Your elder brother, I, can be the president of the Mutual Aid Society; my strength is not to be underestimated."

"You just help me keep watch and prevent anyone or any other fierce beast from interfering with my battle."

Lei Zhan replied with great confidence.

With that, Lei Zhan crossed his two knives, his gaze fixed on the Black Dragon King in front of him.

"I am, after all, the rarest lightning-element martial artist!"

As his words fell, streaks of electric arcs surged from Lei Zhan's body, spreading to his two knives.

Lei Zhan's crossed knives separated, then his right leg retreated, and then he stomped hard on the ground!

His entire body roared, stirring up a strong wind.

His figure, amidst the strong wind and swirling dust, transformed into a blue electric arc, shooting towards the Black Dragon King.

"Thunder Cross Slash!" He started with a trump card.

He wanted Li Ziyu to witness his strength!
