Clang!
As soon as the gong signaling the official start of the competition rang, the assailant lunged at the young boy with a sinister grin.
The speed was as if he was a ghost.
Even the numerous experts present only saw a blur, completely missing how it happened. The assailant had already rushed up to the boy.
The boy was also taken aback because at this moment the distance between him and the assailant was so close that he could even smell the foul stench from the assailant’s mouth.
This caused his hairs to stand on end, and he quickly retreated backward.
But at this moment, the assailant gave a grin.
"Thinking of running now? It’s too late!"
As he spoke, he reached forward, his hand aiming straight for the boy’s neck.
The boy tilted his head to the side, narrowly evading the blow.
But this was just the beginning.
Once he dodged, the assailant’s hands suddenly flipped towards him at a bizarre angle, and the entire arm stretched out like rubber, wrapping toward the boy again.
The boy’s expression changed dramatically, but his reaction was commendably swift.
In a split second, his feet took several steps in a peculiar rhythm, once again barely avoiding the assailant’s attack.
Others didn’t notice anything unusual, only Xue An’s eyes narrowed slightly after seeing the boy’s footwork, then he chuckled lightly, "Mysterious Heavenly Firmament Steps? This gets more and more interesting!"
Right at that moment, the boy gasped for breath and took half a step back, clearly, the dodging had severely exhausted his stamina.
But the assailant laughed eerily, "You’ve got some skills indeed. No wonder that idiot Divine Slaughter died at your hands, but now... it’s the end of everything!"
As the words fell, the assailant suddenly opened his mouth, his tongue shooting out and transforming into a sticky tentacle, curling straight toward the boy.
This time, the boy had no way to retreat because just a short distance behind him was the edge of the ring. If he moved any further back, he risked falling into the bottomless beast pit below, which would certainly spell his demise.
Faced with this attack from the assailant, the boy took a deep breath, stepped back again, and then launched a fierce palm strike forward.
Boom!
A deafening sound followed.
The tentacle was forcibly pushed back, and the assailant also retreated several steps.
But the boy did not gain much advantage, taking three steps back and leaving deep footprints on the hard ring with each step.
Upon stabilizing, the boy’s face showed an uncertain color, clearly indicating injury.
Seeing this, a low murmur spread throughout the crowd.
Those who bet on the assailant’s victory were overjoyed, then started to shout crazily.
"Just as expected, the assailant is unbeatable!"
"Indeed, even if someone wins a round by luck, they can’t be a match for the assailant!"
Amid these shouts, the people who bet on the boy wore grim expressions.
Is the match lost just like this?
At this moment, Yue Qinghuan also asked anxiously, "What should we do? It seems like this boy is going to lose!"
Xue An chuckled softly, "Don’t be hasty in drawing conclusions, just watch!"
While chaos reigned among the audience, on the ring, the boy looked at the assailant with a calm, expressionless gaze.
At present.
The assailant’s hands and tongue had turned into long tentacles, slithering like a giant snake in front of him, but regardless of how they moved, they all aimed directly at the boy.
"Hehe, kid, the mere fact that you lasted one exchange with me is something to boast about!"
