Chapter 1156: Progress in Close Combat Technique

Wilderness (City A)

Time went by.

Jeremy Night didn’t want the beast to flee from the place. He had gotten a good opportunity to improve his close combat technique.

Swoosh!

He used his movement method right away. The "Explosive Steps" propelled his body forward.

He moved to the flank of the Tier-6 Gray Fox Beast. The beast was late to react.

Swoosh!

This time, he increased the power of the vibration. It was stronger than before.

The Tier-6 Gray Fox was still wailing in pain. For a second, it forgot to pay attention.

Swoosh!

Right then, he punched forward, carrying the rhythmic power into the body of the beast.

Boom!

In a flash, the punch landed on the side of the beast’s body.

Upon contact, the vibration power transmitted into the beast’s body. It damaged the blood vessels and shocked the internal organs.

Scream!

The Tier-6 Gray Fox let out a scream before falling down to the ground. Jeremy’s eyes gleamed with a twinkle. The brute force behind the punch had acted as well.

His body was stronger because of the Supreme Combat Body. He could fight across tiers using his physical strength.

Now, the vibration power added even more to the punch.

The beast was lying on the ground. It was injured. It could not believe that a Tier-4 Human had injured it. But it was the fact. The beast started feeling fear; it decided to flee.

Swoosh!

It stood up on its feet and began to flee. The beast was using the remaining strength in its body to go forward. Its massive frame covered a large distance of ground.

Jeremy Night was not surprised by the action of the beast. He knew the beast would flee if it got scared.

Swoosh!

He used his speed ability. The next second, he vanished from the spot. He appeared right next to the flank of the beast.

Boom!

His fist, filled with vibration power, landed a blow on the body of the beast. The power of the vibration was stronger than before.

This time, the shock force traveled and struck the internal organs of the beast.

The Tier-6 Gray beast fell to the ground. The landing was heavy. The beast started coughing up blood. This time, it could not move its body.

He appeared next to the body of the beast. He looked at his right fist. He could feel that his close combat attack was better than before.

Next, he decided to end the life of the beast. He unsheathed his blade and made one fast swing.

Slash!

The blade moved fast before cutting through the neck of the beast. The head of the beast was severed in a single cut and dropped to the ground.

Pfff!

Blood spurted from the wound like torrential rainwater. He then sheathed the blade. The cut was neat and clean. He spared a last glance at the beast before going on his way.

He could feel the slight improvement in his close combat. Maybe he should avoid using blade techniques against Tier-6 and lower beasts.

...

Oren Family

Beast Tamer Oren was waiting in the room. Next, the butler knocked on the door. Oren collected his thoughts and asked the butler to come in.

The butler walked into the room. He brought a device with him and handed it to Oren.

Oren hurriedly grabbed the device and began to go through the list. It was a list of the people who held a golden card. His family had collected the intel.

After going through the name list, his eyes flashed with confusion. He could not see anyone with Tier-4 strength.

All of them were Tier-6, Tier-7, and Tier-8 Beast Tamers. None of them were even Tier-5 Beast Tamers.

Let alone anyone with Tier-4 strength having a gold card.

The family butler was looking at his young master. He didn’t know what had happened to him.

He thought someone with a gold card had offended the young master.

"Is our intel outdated?" Oren asked.

Hearing that, the butler was taken aback.

"Master, what happened?"

Oren put the device aside on the table. He took a deep breath before saying, "I encountered a situation today."

After saying that, he began to explain the altercation with the Manager of the Beast Taming Association.

He then told him about the young Tier-4 Beast Tamer with the golden card. He had tried to call out to him.

But the young Tier-4 Beast Tamer continued to stay inside the special practice room.

Despite the continuous knocking, that young man completely ignored him.

He then said, "I want to know about the young man. How can a Tier-4 Beast Tamer have a golden card?"

The butler was shocked. The information was shocking to him as well. He had never heard of a Tier-4 Beast Tamer having a golden card.

At first, he thought the young master was joking.

But when he saw his serious expression, he didn’t ask anything else. He just nodded his head before leaving the room.

When the butler was gone from the place, Beast Tamer Oren decided to sleep. Since he had given the task to the butler, he knew he would come up with the answers soon.

On the other hand, the two friends were digging through their own family intel. Their intel reports on the golden card were outdated as well.

They scolded their elders next and told them about the new golden card holder. The elders were shocked themselves.

They decided to find out the truth.

Wilderness

When morning came, Jeremy Night woke up due to the morning sunlight. He was hiding inside a large tree hole.

He didn’t immediately get out of the hole. Instead, he paid attention to his mental zone.

Inside the mental zone, the six-winged butterfly was sleeping peacefully.

A small amount of natural energy was being sucked in by her six wings.

It was happening passively. She had been resting since yesterday. He didn’t get up and continued to lie inside the tree hole.

However, he used his mental power to monitor a 500-meter radius. Right now, there were no corrupted beasts within the said range.

Not only the corrupted beasts, but the Beast Taming Teams were missing as well. He thought that most of the teams had left.

Maybe he was the only one who dared to come back here.
