Chapter 483: Section 270: Spring Boxer

The crowd was in an uproar.

“What did I just see?”

“This guy! He knocked Ban Langen away with a single punch?”

“Ah, Ban Langen was too careless.”

“Hey, what exactly happened?”

After being briefed by others, the bewildered bystanders widened their eyes in disbelief.

Those who truly understood were also shaken.

Even though Ban Langen had not used his full strength, the fact that someone could knock him down with a single punch meant that this squad leader of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was no ordinary person.

“He has the courage to challenge Lord Teng Donglang, he must be quite capable.”

The Dragon-man youth released his fist, slowly withdrew his stance, and deliberately asked Lan Zao loudly, “I’ve dealt with the first one, who is the closest second one?”

The Dragon-man youth looked indifferent, while Lan Zao was much more excited.

The latter replied loudly, “Squad leader, the next street chief is the Spring Boxer.”

The Dragon-man youth nodded, “Very well, let’s head there next.”

The two continued forward, and the crowd automatically parted to create a pathway for them.

The Dragon-man youth had displayed his strength, clearing the previously skeptical voices, and along the way, he gathered looks of disbelief, curiosity, and awe.

Teng Donglang soon received this battle report.

A vein popped on his forehead as he clenched his teeth in annoyance, “That Ban Langen!”

He had specifically instructed someone to take care of Ban Langen, but Ban Langen had still ended up in such a state.

Headache.

Teng Donglang held his forehead; he had ordered Ban Langen to entangle with the Dragon-man youth as much as possible, to probe the latter’s true details, and ideally, uncover his trump cards.

But Ban Langen had misunderstood the hidden meaning and had been overly confident, getting knocked down by the Dragon-man youth with a single punch.

Apart from contributing to the Dragon-man youth’s reputation, Ban Langen had been of no use.

“However, my previous handling was correct. Long Fu has taken the bait, and according to this setup, he still needs to beat five more people. Even if we forget Ban Langen, the next five should be able to probe his cards.”

Teng Donglang handled this matter very cautiously.

He had a status to maintain; he could not afford an easy defeat.

A defeat would not only damage his reputation, but it would also harm the interests of the whole Saber Gang.

“Long Fu is going next to Little Spring…”

“Little Spring… probably isn’t a match for Long Fu.”

Teng Donglang obsessively thought of Little Spring, who was the Spring Boxer.

The latter was a young man, not only unique as the only Snow Elf among the six leaders but also his robe brother’s son.

Back on the battlefield, his robe brother had taken a bullet for Teng Donglang, dying heroically. With his dying breath, he had asked Teng Donglang to look after his only kin in this world.

Teng Donglang took great care of Little Spring, yet the battlefield is indifferent to gunfire.

During one operation, Little Spring was captured by enemies and almost ended up as food filling their bellies.

Teng Donglang, though he led a desperate assault to rescue him, couldn’t save Little Spring’s forearm and calf, which got chopped off, leaving him severely disabled.

Too much time had passed, and they missed the opportunity for priestly treatment.

Little Spring thus fell into a depression for quite some time.

Still, Teng Donglang paid a hefty price for an Alchemy Transformation on Little Spring, creating the Spring Boxer, one of the six leaders of the Saber Gang.

But Teng Donglang was well aware that the battle power of the Spring Boxer was average among the six leaders, not enough to stop Long Fu from progressing.

After thinking for a moment, Teng Donglang suddenly spoke, “Someone go, send a message to Little Spring, tell him to fight well, he must figure out Long Fu’s details. Winning or losing is secondary, the key is to collect crucial intelligence, the more the better.”

His subordinate quickly obeyed, relaying the command.

This time, Teng Donglang learned from his previous lesson, making his order clear and explicit.

The Spring Boxer would definitely understand!

The Spring Boxer first received the news of Ban Langen’s defeat and then Teng Donglang’s command.

This young Snow Elf did not dare to delay and took initiative, intercepting the Dragon-man youth and Lan Zao on their way.

The Dragon-man youth sized up the Spring Boxer in front of him.

This young Snow Elf was wearing a pair of orange boxing gloves that covered his entire palms, radiating a Silver Level aura.

Besides that, the Spring Boxer’s boots were also Silver Level gear.

Most noticeably, his elbows and knees had been replaced with four robust, large springs.

He had undergone Alchemy Transformation, hence the nickname Spring Boxer.

“Long Fu, if you want to challenge Lord Teng Donglang, you must get past me first! I will do everything to stop you,” stated the Spring Boxer solemnly.

The Dragon-man youth smiled slightly and praised, “Not bad, you have a much more respectful attitude than Ban Langen. Showing respect to your opponent earns you respect in return.”

“And the greatest respect I can offer, is to put my whole heart into this battle with you!”

“Then let’s fight!” the Spring Boxer shouted, moving swiftly and directly lunging at Long Fu.

Halfway through his charge, the springs replacing his knees compressed fiercely, then violently shot out, giving him a powerful boost in speed.

The Spring Boxer’s velocity surged dramatically.

The Dragon-man youth clenched his fists, stood his ground, and prepared for battle.

He made no movements, but the Spring Boxer could feel a strong oppressive force emanating from him.

“This guy…” the Spring Boxer clenched his teeth in secret, wisely changing direction.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Spring Boxer bounced around the Dragon-man youth, darting back and forth across the streets on both sides.

His speed increased more and more until he became a series of black shadows, difficult for the naked eye to discern.

The black shadows weaved into a net, gradually surrounding the Dragon-man youth. The youth was like an insect caught in a net, with the silhouette of the Spring Boxer appearing from all directions.

Suddenly, the Spring Boxer sprung behind the Dragon-man youth, throwing a fierce punch.

The Dragon-man youth remained motionless.

“I got him!” the Spring Boxer shouted excitedly in his heart, his fists ready to smash into the Dragon-man youth’s back.

Suddenly, a red shadow swept in, bringing with it a strong gust of wind.

The Spring Boxer hurriedly raised his left fist to block.

Snap.

The next moment, the Dragon-man youth’s tail whipped onto the Spring Boxer’s left arm.

The immense force severely disrupted the Spring Boxer’s flow of punches.

His offensive was completely shattered.

The Dragon-man youth took the opportunity to turn around and grabbed the Spring Boxer’s right fist.

The Spring Boxer exerted force but could not break free.

The Dragon-man youth suddenly lifted a foot and fiercely hit the Spring Boxer’s abdomen.

Bang.

A muffled sound, and the Spring Boxer’s slender body nearly folded in half.

In the moment he was heavily hit, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Combat Skill—Rebound Leg!

The springs between the Spring Boxer’s legs compressed again, his Silver Level fighting energy surged, and he successfully executed a Combat Skill.

The next moment, his feet kicked into the Dragon-man youth’s chest.

The rebound force fiercely propelled his body backwards.

At the same time, his right hand executed another Combat Skill—Spiral Fist Wind.

This skill was originally an auxiliary attack, but now the Spring Boxer used it to break free from the Dragon-man youth’s grip.

The springs in the Spring Boxer’s arms twisted and compressed, then extended.

His right arm suddenly had a forward, violently rotating force.

The Dragon-man youth originally held tightly to the Spring Boxer’s fist.

But as the latter’s fist rotated violently, creating fierce friction with his palm, the Dragon-man youth could no longer hold on.

He had no corresponding Combat Skill to counter the rotating force of the Spring Boxer’s Combat Skill.

Thus, the Spring Boxer’s arm broke free, and leveraging the force from Rebound Leg, he successfully escaped the Dragon-man youth’s clutches, jumping far back to put distance between them.

“Cough cough cough!” The Spring Boxer crouched on the ground, coughing violently.

The Dragon-Man youth’s kick was forceful and heavy; even with the protection of fighting energy, the Spring Boxer couldn’t withstand it.

Pain spread through his abdomen, quickly intensifying.

The Spring Boxer’s entire face gradually turned red, and in his crouching, bent-over posture, he looked like a cooked lobster curled up, quite wretched.

“Fell for it!”

“That Long Fu guy is indeed strong.”

The Spring Boxer looked up at the Dragon-man youth, a trace of fear showing on his face.

The King of Flame Dragon’s bloodline, reaching the Legendary level, endowed the Dragon-man youth with terrifying dynamic vision and powerful hearing.

Ordinary people couldn’t see the real body of the Spring Boxer, but the Dragon-man youth continuously locked onto the Spring Boxer’s position.

Afterward, the Dragon-man youth deliberately showed a flaw, not looking towards the real body of the Spring Boxer, using his back to face the Spring Boxer’s attack.

The Spring Boxer indeed stepped right into the trap made by the Dragon-man youth.

The initial exchange between the two, in the blink of an eye, ended.

“That was close, luckily I broke free! If he had restrained me, the consequences would have been unthinkable,” the Spring Boxer shuddered with residual fear.

The Dragon-man youth, looking interestedly at his palm, felt the intense heat caused by the harsh friction just now.

Then, the Dragon-man youth slowly raised his head, looking toward the crouching Spring Boxer in the distance.

A smile curled on his lips as he praised, “Interesting, the way you broke free from my grip by skillfully using a Combat Skill. You have a talent for fighting, not confined to the Combat Skill itself.”

The Spring Boxer snorted coldly, “Don’t think that praising me will make me go easy on you!”

He stood up and shot to the side.

Using walls, the ground, and other surfaces to spring off, the Spring Boxer’s speed quickly became like before, turning into a series of black shadows.

“No, still not fast enough!” the Spring Boxer bit his teeth in secret, once again exerting strength, pushing his speed to its limit.

The Dragon-man youth stood his ground, still calmly watching the Spring Boxer bounce around.

Gradually, the black shadows formed by the Spring Boxer slowly approached the surroundings of the Dragon-man youth.

The Dragon-man youth still did not move, as steady as Mount Tai.

The Spring Boxer, having learned his lesson from before, this time did not dare to act rashly.

Often, he circled to the back of the Dragon-man youth but did not strike lightly.

Because he was worried this was another deliberate flaw shown by the Dragon-man youth.
