Ye Kai watched in shock as the old man's skin transformed from gray to a bright, ruddy hue. His muscles seemed to swell before Ye Kai's eyes, his arms bulging and reddening until they were the size of Ye Kai's head. Suddenly, the old man rose to his feet, his eyes glowing like two burning coals, and thick strands of steam curling up from his now-massive form.
Ye Kai sighed, "Hey, is there anything inside the laboratory that we can sell and earn 75,000 gold coins."
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ Shao Ren who was on the ground, saw the old man as his pupil shrink, but seeing Ye Kai calm, he also became calm, and then heard his question, "This question is even important right now?"
The old man's fist flew through the air with blinding speed, barely visible. The dust kicked up around it as it whizzed past Ye Kai, missing him completely. The old man snarled in frustration as he saw Ye Kai standing far away, already grabbing Shao Ren in his grip. With a single thrust of his arm, he tossed Shao Ren into the dark depths of the nearby mineshaft.
"Go ahead, I deal with this," Ye Kai said, as he was a little excited to fight someone who could compare to Martial Art Commander Low-Grade.
"I used 75,000 gold coins to raise my strength, hope this match won't be boring," Ye Kai said and he used explosive force to jump at the old man.
The old man lunged at Ye Kai with a closed fist, but Ye Kai quickly blocked the blow and swiftly threw a punch of his own, making direct contact with the old man's face. The force of the punch was enough to send him flying back, and he crashed into the wall behind him.
Ye Kai shook his head in disbelief. "One punch and you're already in this state?" he murmured under his breath; although frustrated with the situation, Ye Kai knew he should be thankful for the countless hours he had spent training with his fourth mother in hand-to-hand combat.
Then Ye Kai's eyes widened in amazement as he watched the old man standing up and seeing his transformation. The wispy clouds of steam emanating from his mouth thickened, and the man grew taller and broader until he towered over Ye Kai. His arm, which had been missing below the elbow, reappeared as if by magic, and muscle bulged beneath his collarbone.
"What it this?" Ye Kai frowned. He thought the old man used that red pill that Shao Ren showed him but it seems that the old man used something else.
A deep, guttural roar escaped from the old man's mouth and his face contorted into a look of pure rage. His muscles bulged from his arms and legs which were thick enough to match Ye Kai's three heads in size. He took one step forward and the mineshaft shook so violently that it felt like an earthquake had struck. With incredible force, he sprinted toward Ye Kai, shaking the walls as he ran.
Ye Kai's hand trembled as he drew the blade from its scabbard. The steel shone a brilliant blue in the light; the hilt was shaped like a dragon, with eyes of turquoise and scales of sapphire. He took a deep breath and spoke solemnly: "I must end this, or I will be buried with him."
Ye Kai leaped out of the way as the old man roared, his face twisted in rage as he jumped forward where Ye Kai had just been standing. If Ye Kai had been a second slower, he would have become nothing more than a pile of meat paste. He could hear the old man's angry cries as he sprinted away.
"He lost his mind and speed," Ye Kai muttered, as he looked at the old man like a wild animal coming behind him.
Ye Kai's feet pounded against the ground as he ran, and he felt the old man's gaze on his back. He stopped, spinning around to face the old man. His sword was held out in front of him, pointed at the old man's head. Ye Kai's eyes focus only on the old man's head, other than the old man's head, Ye Kai couldn't see anything.
The old man stepped forward, his face betraying no emotion. As he came to within a meter of Ye Kai, the room become silent as calm water. Ye Kai braced himself as the blade of his sword connected with the old man's neck, cleaving through flesh and bone in one swift stroke. Then a silence descended as the old man's head tumbled to the ground.
Exhausted from the effort, Ye Kai slumped to the ground with a heavy sigh, grateful he had been successful in this task, any misstep would have meant a huge backlash.
"Well, it wasn't exciting as I thought," Ye Kai laying on the floor said. He thought of doing many hand-to-hand combats then telling each other their own special techniques and using this technique against each other, while they talk about their own life story or ideals.
However, nothing like that happens, the fight was boring, and the old man was like an animal that didn't have any technique, he didn't even talk about his life or ideals.
Ye Kai wished he could also able to fight an opponent as he read in the manga that he bought from the system.
If the old man had even a little bit of mind then it would be a challenging fight, after all his strength increased to Martial Art Commander High-Grade after his arm was restored.
"Still, what happened?" Ye Kai said as he made himself stand up and walked to the old man. He saw his head and body in a different place, after thinking for a bit he put these two in his inventory to check up on what this old man did to make his arm restored and strength increased.
