Chapter 8 Illusion Beast, Eagle Nightmare (Part 1)
The Eagle Nightmare Phantom Beast tilted its head, looking at Ye Cang, and complained, "What? I only gave you a light punch, and you flew so far. You Leaplings are so weak!"
Outside the glass of the duel arena, a woman who appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old asked, "Xi'er! Report Ye Cang's data immediately."
"Oh, okay, Director. Ye Cang, age seventeen. Initial defense ability, D-grade; reaction speed, C-grade; agility speed, C-grade. Ye Cang's data only shows this much for now."
A middle-aged man smoking a cigar nearby said nonchalantly, "What's this? This kid only has a reaction speed that surpasses the previous ones… What's the use of being able to dodge? He can't possibly rely solely on dodging to kill a Phantom Beast during a hunt, can he? Damn it! This kid is simply wasting my precious time."
Inside the duel arena, Ye Cang's arms began to go numb, and his hands trembled uncontrollably as he thought, "I'm really done for this time. Damn it! I never thought I, Ye Cang, would be so unlucky."
"Am I going to be ravaged to death by this eagle-beaked, ghostly-faced thing?" Ye Cang suddenly thought of something and became furious. He cursed at the Eagle Nightmare Phantom Beast, "You ghostly-faced dog thing! Damn it! If it weren't for you dog things, would my homeland have been destroyed!"
Ye Cang used a Swift Flash (shunshan), circling behind the Eagle Nightmare, his hands unleashing various boxing techniques. The intent and force contained within his fists created explosive sounds—*booming, booming, booming*—as they touched the air. Various straight punches, turning hook punches, swing punches turning jabs, accelerated towards the Eagle Nightmare.
"Beast! Die for me!" *Puff, puff, puff, puff!* Ye Cang's offensive was like a storm, blocking the sight of the crowd outside the duel arena's glass. Countless fist winds completely enveloped the Eagle Nightmare.
Ye Cang was now slightly crouching with his body sideways, delivering upper, middle, and lower jabs with his lead hand, followed by an uppercut and then a rear-hand straight punch, returning smoothly to his original position. Immediately after, Luo Hou unleashed a set of left swing punches followed by a right big swing punch towards the Eagle Nightmare. As he punched, Ye Cang's gaze was constantly slanted towards the Eagle Nightmare. Under the barrage of attacks, the Eagle Nightmare simply touched the ground with its toes, squinting its eyes, and dodging all of Ye Cang's attacks.
The Eagle Nightmare grew a little impatient, yawned, and took a step back, "Leapling… your offensive is airtight, but… you need to see clearly, all your attacks are hitting my shadow."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cang was shocked! The Eagle Nightmare took a deep breath and said calmly, "Leapling… my turn!" Suddenly! The Eagle Nightmare's eyes widened, and the airflow around its hair and body rose in an anti-gravity manner like flames at full power. There seemed to be bursts of lightning around its dreadlocks.
The Eagle Nightmare constantly stepped forward, its body constantly swaying, dodging sideways, and diving. While moving sideways, it switched its center of gravity, its movements so fast that they created afterimages. The Eagle Nightmare relied on quick, short arm extensions to generate force, maximizing its arm span to deliver a super long-range heavy blow!
But Ye Cang instantly retreated rapidly, leaning backward, forcefully pushing off the ground with his rear foot, and quickly sliding his lead foot backward, switching his center, allowing his head to escape this super heavy blow! Outside the duel arena's glass, the crowd was observing Ye Cang's every move.
And the man with the cigar in his mouth seemed to have his own plans, "Humph! A guy who doesn't know what's good for him, a complete waste!"
"Stubbornly resisting! Just die already, so I can finish work sooner. Hehehe… this time, the little sisters who were netted who wanted to kill themselves are all goddesses. Hahaha… I can't wait to enjoy them…" At this moment, Chen Li, the Director of the Intelligence Data Division, suddenly realized that there must be a problem with the strength level of this Phantom Beast.
So she asked the man with the cigar, "Xue Shengnan! What level is this Eagle Nightmare Phantom Beast?"
Xue Shengnan replied casually, "It's so strong, needless to say… of course, it's a C+ level."
It turned out that the man with the cigar was named Xue Shengnan. And the C+ level Phantom Beast he mentioned was the Phantom Beast Eagle Nightmare that Ye Cang was currently facing. The Eagle Nightmare, a type of Phantom Beast.
Phantom Beasts mostly refer to the *nian* (thought/concept) in the human mind! Or a species born from some extremely strong and terrifying desire, with the ability to destroy human civilization.
Their forms are strange and varied, so they are called Beasts. Because they are a kind of evil energy produced by human intangible malice, evil thoughts, greed, and murderous thoughts.
These energies of the same frequency gradually gather to produce species, so they are also defined as: Phantom Beasts. Generally, when testing a Leapling's initial data, the level of the Phantom Beast cannot exceed or be equal to C-level.
The highest test level is D+. And this Phantom Beast named Eagle Nightmare, with a strength level of C+, is proficient in all close combat fighting techniques in the universe. It is a super Phantom Beast condensed from the resentment of all martial artists, martial arts masters, and fighters from all universes and timelines. Chen Li was shocked, "Xi'er, immediately terminate Ye Cang's data assessment."
Upon hearing this, Xue Shengnan was unhappy.
He walked over to Chen Li and stopped her, "Chen Li… I'm the Deputy Director, you're just a small Director." "You should know that a C+ Phantom Beast can be exchanged for ten thousand points."
"And this kid in the duel arena, how many points do you think he's worth!" "Forcibly interrupting the data assessment means immediately annihilating this Phantom Beast."
"You are acting on your own, forcibly interrupting the data assessment, you can't afford the price." Chen Li gritted her teeth, but she was helpless. As the saying goes, a higher official can crush you, which is the current situation. Chen Li forced out four words, "Continue the assessment."
Inside the duel arena, Ye Cang dodged the Phantom Beast's super heavy blow.
He thought he had seized a fraction of a second of movement stiffness, and then quickly unleashed a right-hand heavy punch to counterattack. Ye Cang was fast! The Phantom Beast was faster! The Phantom Beast swung a heavy punch with maximum arm extension, delivering a diagonal rear-hand straight punch, directly hitting Ye Cang's jaw.
A crisp sound of bones cracking could be heard. Ye Cang's jaw was shattered by the Phantom Beast's punch. Ye Cang quickly took a few steps backward to avoid the Phantom Beast's next attack.
Ye Cang touched his jaw and found that his jaw was dislocated and his jawbone was completely broken. The Phantom Beast saw that Ye Cang intended to create distance. In an instant, the Phantom Beast once again circled and moved in front of him!
Seeing this situation, Ye Cang had nowhere to hide. Under instinctive conditioned reflex, he delivered a counterattack straight punch, directly into the Phantom Beast's lower abdomen. At the moment of impact, the sound of a fist hitting the body could be heard around.
Although Ye Cang's straight punch took the initiative, the force of this punch was very forced, and the hit part was not a vital point. Therefore, although this blow was fast, it was difficult to knock down this Phantom Beast with one blow.
