Fight With Grandpa Ven(1)

Hao Ren immediately coughed when he heard the answer from the System. This was the second time the System had behaved like this to him, But this time Hao Ren was really emotional!

He cursed inwardly and cursed at the System but the System didn't respond at all and didn't seem to hear him. If only the System had a form and was now standing in front of it, Hao Ren would definitely beat it up right then and there. The problem is System is just a program.

Grandpa Ven's thoughts were broken when he heard Hao Ren suddenly coughing like someone who was choking. He was a little surprised when he saw the look on Hao Ren's face which was originally indifferent now hardened like an angry person.

"Why, little Ren?" Grandpa Ven asked with an astonished look on his face.

"It is okay." Hao Ren rubbed his face trying to return to his usual attitude.

Grandpa Ven for a moment still looked at Hao Ren in surprise before the next moment trying not to think too much about it. He thought again as before.

'Tch, is there really no other choice but to defeat him.' This time Hao Ren didn't know how to take steps regarding the mission which he had to live on this ninth floor.

His gaze then fell on Grandpa Ven who was only a few meters away trying to think and observe the situation before acting.

'Judging by his stature and height he must be a skilled fighter. There's nothing wrong with why he was able to hold the title of a commander in the past. He wasn't really bragging. I wonder if I can beat someone like him.'

Hao Ren looked so doubtful and unsure that he could win against the figure who used to be a knight commander compared to him, of course his fighting experience was much better.

Even though he had previously absorbed various high-level techniques to the extent of being able to master them, but still, what was lacking was that he had never experienced the real atmosphere of combat and was still an amateur.

Especially if he had to compare his current posture with Grandpa Ven, he thought the winning percentage he could possibly achieve was only one percent, with the possibility of him being seriously injured as well.

However his current situation really pushed him to make a choice because he didn't want to spend too much time here. Either way he had to win in order to quickly climb the next floor.

'I don't have much time for this silly game. If there really is no other choice what to do, I just need to beat him. He's not a grandpa after all. At the same time I also want to test how strong I am now.' With tightly clenched fists, Hao Ren made up his mind completely.

After being completely sure, Hao Ren then mounted his stance and prepared to attack.

A moment later he ran as fast as he could using his Shadow Moving skill towards Grandpa Ven, and as soon as he got close, he jumped and landed one kick to the stomach.

"Dragon Kick!"

Grandpa Ven, who was busy thinking at the time, was surprised when he suddenly received a sudden attack from Hao Ren. Luckily his fighting instinct was still there, Grandpa Ven reflexively was able to block Hao Ren's kick with both hands although he had to admit the kick Hao Ren released was strong enough to make him take two steps back and his hands trembled slightly.

Realizing that his attack had no trace, Hao Ren took a few steps back in a state of alert.

'Ow. Looks like my legs are still not really strong.'

After using one of his barehanded skills, Hao Ren felt a slight pain in his leg.

'As I thought, an attack like that won't leave a mark on him. I knew he was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong.' He thought when he saw how Grandpa Ryu had been holding back his attack.

Even though he thought he had found a good opening to attack but Grandpa Ven got it with easily parry his attacks even though at that time his focus was not directed.

'So what should I do now?' Hao Ren re-examined Grandpa Ven's position for an opening before attacking.

"Why did you attack me little Ren?" Grandpa Ven who got a sudden attack from Hao Ren asked with a surprised look on his face.

Obviously he was very surprised considering it wasn't just his sudden attack that took him by surprise but the impact of the attack Hao Ren unleashed would be so powerful despite his apparent young age, and he thought it was truly unbelievable.

"How do I explain it..." For a moment Hao Ren rubbed the back of his head before returning to the attacking position.

Unable to explain it, Hao Ren preferred to attack Grandpa Ven back. This time he used multiple attack patterns centered on hitting in a direction he could reach. The punch he released was much stronger than the previous kick due to the effects of the Crushing Glove he used.

"Wait a minute! What's wrong?"

When he got a few blows from Hao Ren, Grandpa Ven didn't intend to strike back, he preferred to keep dodging and parrying every his attack. He could have defeated this boy who attacked him with one hit, because he wanted to find out in advance Hao Ren's intent and purpose in wanting to attack him without harming him.

However Hao Ren was silent. He kept attacking Grandpa Ven with various attack patterns that made it a little difficult for Grandpa Ven to follow the direction of the attack.

'This kid... How can he move like this? The technique he used was also very high. This is the first time I've seen a movement pattern this accurate. How did he learn all this at such a young age? Is he really human?"

Once again, Grandpa Ven was surprised at the same time not expecting and was also stunned when he witnessed Hao Ren's unnatural action. Every attack pattern that Hao Ren displayed was quite difficult to guess at a glance, even for a veteran like him.

From the several fighting experiences he had experienced, this was the first time he saw a movement pattern that was complex but well-ordered and accurate just like Hao Ren's.

Moreover, it was supported by Hao Ren's small stature, making his movements more agile and making each attack more difficult to predict.

It's not enough that Grandpa Ven was surprised. As soon as he saw Hao Ren's blows land on the walls and surrounding objects, Grandpa Ven could see each one being capable of dealing considerable damage there.

Grandpa Ven swallowed his saliva. He never thought that the figure of this little boy in front of him would have such terrifying power. In addition to the kick that he had been holding, he had to admit that the blow was far too strong to destroy everything in the small house.

"Little Ren, answer my question first. What made you act like this?" Grandpa Ven was trying to get an answer from Hao Ren while continuing to withstand his attacks.

{Fatigue: 34} A small panel appeared beside Hao Ren showing his level of exhaustion. This would happen when his fatigue level was above his thirti as an early warning.

Hao Ren stopped attacking and took a few steps back to take some distance. He took a break for a moment to just catch his breath.

After his breathing stabilized, Hao Ren this time answered Grandpa Ven's question.

"I don't have enough explanation. In short there was someone who told me to beat you."

"Someone? Who do you mean?"

"Maybe he's the same person you were referring to. He said, with me defeating you, you and I can get out of this place."

Hearing his answer, Grandpa Ven fell silent. He analyzed Hao Ren's face to find out if he was lying or not, but he found that what Hao Ren said was the truth.

After resting for a while, Hao Ren re-mounted his stance and then attacked Grandpa Ven. Grandpa Ven shook his head slowly before welcoming his attack as usual.

Hao Ren continued to strike at the part he could reach between the stomach and the calf. Even though his movements are very agile, his legs still don't allow him to jump higher so he can only attack in certain parts.

Meanwhile Grandpa Ven was still on the defensive as he watched Hao Ren's every move which incessantly stunned him. Even though it was a little difficult he was still able to withstand Hao Ren's every attack well without having to counterattack.

'He's been holding out ever since. Is he belittling me?'

Every attack that Hao Ren aimed at was always able to be blocked by Grandpa Ven well without counterattack at all. This made Hao Ren think that Grandpa Ven was toying with him. It could be seen from the way Grandpa Ven parried his attacks while smiling as if he was enjoying every attack he made.

Then how about this!'

Seeing that, Hao Ren then changed his movement pattern to a more complicated level and managed to miss Grandpa Ven until he found a little opening to attack.

"This is it!"

Immediately he took advantage of that to attack Grandpa Ven using one of his barehanded skills.

"One Deadly Blow!"

The blow went to a place that Grandpa Ven never expected.

"Danger!"

Grandpa Ven's eyes widened, this time he reacted because he missed so that it gave Hao Ren a little gap to land a deadly attack especially when the attack was aimed at the his little brother!

"Protection!"

Before Hao Ren's punch arrived, a transparent shield instantly formed around the area he was about to hit, the shield managed to keep his fists in the air.

It was Grandpa Ven's turn to retreat this time. He stroked his chest feeling relieved as if his life had survived death, even though that was indeed the case.

"Huuf....Almost…"
