"This is weird… It is almost an hour already. Why is he still in his beast form…?

" Muilan asked.

Domon, Wong, and Murong didn't understand what she was saying. They had been exchanging moves with Long for quite some time. Muilan remained at a distance most of the time. She only attacked when a good opportunity arose. After almost losing her life to Long, she knew that she was not Long's opponent. So, she adopted hit-and-run tactics.

"What's wrong with that?

" Domon asked without slowing his attacks. Even when fighting against three martial arts grandmasters, Long didn't appear at a disadvantage.

"Beastmaster's beast form skill only lasted ten minutes. That is already considering the skill is max-leveled,

" Muilan explained.

Domon and the others didn't quite catch it. They never truly comprehended all these game systems.

"Hehehe,

" Long chuckled. He used Nine Yang Scorching Blade and forced all three grandmasters back. Long didn't pursue. He just stood and watched them with a ridiculing expression.

"If you want to know, little girl. It is because I'm no longer a beastmaster. I am a Beast Warrior,

" Long said.

"A special class…?

" Muilan asked. She could only inspect Long's main class, which was Fist Lord, also a special class. This meant both of Long's classes were special classes.

Beast Warrior was a second-class special class from Beastmaster. It was a class that specialized in beast form, enhancing a beastmaster's personal prowess rather than their pets. The first skill of this class was Heightened Beast Form. It lengthened the duration of Beast Form to one hour. If this skill was leveled up to the max, Beast Form could last for two hours!

"You haven't gone all out yet,

" Domon said.

Long responded to the statement with a sneer.

"You, smug punk!

" Wong was about to lunge but a loud sound startled them. They looked over and saw the wall of the capital crumbled.

"Haha, your side is losing over there,

" Muilan jeered at Long.

"Are you sure you don't want to go help your friends there?

"

Long simply spared the broken wall a glance. He said,

"I don't have friends. I don't give a ** what happens over there. Playing with you, people, is much more fun.

"

"Are you saying our fight is an amusement to you?

" Murong asked. She was extremely displeased by the statement.

"Hehe. When else can I have the opportunity to fight three renowned martial artists like the three of you? But I suppose all good things come to an end. If the battle over there ends, pesky people will come here and disturb us. So, I will end this fight soon.

"

"That is a very conceited claim, youngster,

" Murong said.

"I don't think so, Grandma,

" Long returned.

Murong was about to scold Long back for calling her grandma, but Long vanished from his position.

Although her eyes failed to catch Long's movement, her mana sense didn't. Long didn't vanish. He simply moved extremely fast. That was Beast Warrior's level 60 skill, Beastly Speed. The skill increased Long's speed greatly for a short period. With his already high dexterity stat from two speed-based classes, this enhancement put him almost as fast as Jack's acceleration spell.

Murong turned to her right where she sensed Long was coming. Her hands went to receive Long's incoming fist. But as she parried that fist, Long's other fist slammed into her side. She was extremely startled. She didn't sense that second punch and was sent flying as a result.

After Long lost to Jack, Long also focused on training mana concealment. He was still unable to fully mask his attack as Jack did, but he gained improvement by masking a small part of his body. He used this technique to mask his second punch just now.

Domon and Wong were rushing at Long when Long attacked Murong, but a large serpent suddenly appeared in their path. This serpent was Long's pet, the Celestial Lindworm.

Muilan was nearby Murong when Long attacked. She didn't just stay idle. She swung her sword on impulse. Her sword created several crescent lights that targeted Long's fatal points. After Jack taught her the sword's heart mantra, her swordplay and accuracy had improved by a great deal.

But it was not enough to go up against Long. Long's body ignited with raging flames. He didn't evade Muilan's moonlight swords. He moved towards Muilan instead. He shifted his body slightly so Muilan's attack didn't hit his fatal points. The HP he lost from Muilan's attacks was quickly refilled by the Nine Yang Restoration.

While Muilan's swords hit his body, his fists turned into a blur using Infinite Lightning Punches. The countless punches landed on Muilan's body. Each punch was empowered by mana manipulation. With Long's high stats, the resulting damage depleted Muilan's body in a short instant.

"Muilan…!

" Murong shouted.

"Don't worry. She wore the Amulet of Rebirth,

" Domon said to Murong. After Muilan first engaged Long earlier, she chose prudence and wore the amulet.

"Domon!

" Wong called. He was currently grappling the celestial lindworm's neck from its back. His body enhanced by the Muscle Tendon Transformation allowed him to match the lindworm's strength. He was also using the One Thousand Pounds Mountain which multiplied his weight. The serpent had difficulty moving under the pressure.

"On it!

" Domon exclaimed. His glaive turned into a blur. Multiple slashes landed on the celestial lindworm in quick succession.

Domon's glaive was in its tiger arms form. It was also enhanced by the mana-empowered Ki Weapon. Throughout his experience, he had gotten so used to fighting this world's monsters that his attuned mana sense could easily detect a monster's weak points. Each slash from his Soul Hurricane Pursuit hit these weak points and produced critical damage. The celestial lindworm's HP was reduced rapidly.

An incoming ki bullet forced Domon to redirect the trajectory of his glaive. When his glaive and the ki bullet collided, the strong impact forced him to stop his Soul Hurricane Pursuit.

At the same time, Wong also released his grip on the lindworm because he sensed an incoming attack from his back. He experienced the same thing as Murong. He managed to parry the first attack but a second punch landed on his abdomen.

Long was still under the beastly speed effect. This skill enhanced his speed longer than Jack's acceleration spell. He shot to the other side after releasing his pet from danger. The direction he dashed to was Murong who was about to lend Domon and Wong a hand. She was startled when she found Long was already upon her. Following Long's fist were nine miniature suns.
