Martial Arts System

Over fifty Chosen Ones stood in a circle while the rustling of leaves and growls of menacing sounding beasts was heard from the forest.

Most of the Chosen Ones had pale faces with sweatdrops trickling down their youthful faces.

But they weren't afraid!

They had previous experience in fighting Mutated Beasts, mostly for their Ranking Tests.

Ichiro has only done once his ranking test and that was back in Irio, and since then, he hasn't done any ranking tests and his official rank was still stuck in Martial Leader!

Most of the Chosen Ones were thrown into jungles when they were young to fight against Mutated Beasts, and in some families, there have been casualties, but the ones who survived became stronger than ever before!

Lord was looking at the Chosen Ones and then noticed someone missing!

A black-haired youth which gave him a big impression because of his creepiness.

''Has anyone seen that guy who was laughing all the time?!'' Lord shouted, and everyone heard him easily.

''Who gives a shit!'' The Chosen One, who was bullying Darkel, shouted back, ''We have bigger concerns than that creepy fuck!''

Even though he said those ruthless words, he kept glancing in the direction where he threw the notebook.

'Your death isn't because of me… You died because you were weak!' He started believing his reasoning. Weak has no place in their ranks, and if someone dies, no one would be mourning.

Especially for a creepy one like him.

His so-called friends had forgotten about Darkel and were too busy looking at the dangerous Mutated Beasts.

''Rawr!'' Soon, the first Mutated Beast left the forest and growled menacingly.

''Fury Beast!'' One of the Chosen Ones shouted, and all the youths near the beast went into their fighting stances.

Fury Beast is a tricky opponent because weak Fury Beast can be only Martial Captain Rank, while a strong one could be Peak Martial Commander!

''RAWR!'' The Fury Beast leaped through the air, with its bluish fur looking like spikes.

*POW!*

Suddenly, a Chosen One with red hair and brown eyes appeared next to the Fury Beast and struck the beast in the jaw!

''RAW—'' The Mutated Beast was sent flying through multiple trees, and once the massive body stopped flying, a Fury Beast with a broken jaw became visible without any signs of life.

''Nice!'' The Chosen Ones who saw the red-haired young man's skill cheered.

The red-haired youth wiped the bangs out of the way and returned to his previous spot.

The Mutated Beasts who saw it didn't become frightened. Instead, they were more eager to hunt the youth down!

They were feeling hunger, and very rarely did they have a chance to feast on human flesh!

They are too afraid to go to the mountain because there are individuals who are strong enough to kill them with a single attack.

*CRACK*

Suddenly, a dozen trees fell down after an enormous Gorilla appeared!

The Gorilla had black fur with dark black eyes and enormous fists!

Most of the Chosen Ones took a step back and crashed accidentally with other youths.

''Watch out!''

''Fuck off!'' Suddenly, arguments appeared between two Chosen Ones that collided.

*SWOOSH*

Suddenly… A dark-cloaked figure with a metallic mask left the circle and rushed towards the massive beast!

'Avery!' Lone and Ares thought in unison.

''Moon Style, Sun's Revenge!'' Avery leaped through the air and unleashed his punch, that has been honed for countless years.

Once the punch landed on the Gorilla's torso, its torso started distorting!

The organs and intestines inside the body started twisting, shaking, trembling, and crushing!

''PAH!'' The Gorilla spat out greenish blood, and it managed to take one step onwards before falling down to the ground with a loud thud.

*THUD!*

Avery jumped backwards and landed on his previous spot.

''Wow…'' The Chosen Ones near him looked very impressed!

The Chosen Ones started getting more relaxed after seeing so many reliable allies!

Lone and Ares snorted and looked away.

''Whew…'' Lord looked at Ichiro, who was still gazing in one specific direction, towards a Beast that was standing on two feet!

It was Rage Beast!

Lord paled after noticing the Rage Beast, ''No way…''

The Rage Beast looked humanoid with thick fur and a lean-looking body.

It resembled a lot of a Lion, with its long mane.

''EEEK!'' Suddenly, one of the Chosen Ones started screaming in horror after a long Anaconda appeared and managed to wrap its body around his body! Want to see more chapters? Please visit panda-novel ,com

Near him, the Chosen Ones tried to stop the Anaconda, but it managed to drag the youth inside the forest!

The Chosen Ones paled and only heard the youth's screams of horror.

But…

Inside the forest.

The youth was crying while the Anaconda's disgusting tongue was nearing its face, but then…

*SPURT!*

Anaconda's head exploded into a bloody mist, sending a rain of green blood all around the forest!

From the sky… A white-robed figure appeared.

He stopped in front of the unconscious youth, who passed out from fear.

He started carrying the youth and disappeared as quickly as he appeared.

Chosen Ones, who saw one of their own getting dragged away, became very frightened.

They rarely had to fight Mutated Beasts of this level!

Fury Beasts after Fury Beasts kept appearing.

Ichiro's fist was clenched as he saw the Rage Beast finally stopping idling around.

The Rage Beast stood up and started walking straight towards him!

All the Mutated Beasts stepped to the side and allowed the Rage Beast to leave the forest successfully.

The Chosen Ones became pale in fear after noticing way stronger Mutated Beasts!

''Hey, save us!'' One of the Chosen Ones started screaming towards the mountains, where spectators watched, ''We are going to die, please!''

The Rage Beast stopped one meter away from Ichiro.

''You…'' Out of nowhere, the Rage Beast spoke!

Ichiro opened his eyes in shock, and so did everyone around him.

''Deadly Beast!'' Lord screamed in shock and started trembling with slight fear.

Also, Lone and Ares took a step back.

The rest of the Chosen Ones started slowly retreating, but then the rest of the Mutated Beasts appeared from the forest and closed every escape route.

Deadly Beasts onwards have the ability to speak, making them look even more humanoid!

''Strong… Fight!'' Its furry finger was aimed straight towards Ichiro, ''If… You… Don't… Fight… All… Die!''
