When the fight started, Li Yunfei slowly explained to his subordinates. “Xiang Ning is actually a tier three, four-star martial artist, but his Mental Power should be somewhere around tier three, nine-star. I’m not even sure how he trained his Mental Power. On the other hand, the Pale Moon is a tier four, three-star Beast General.”
“That’s a relief! If it was a four-star, it would be a difficult opponent.” Six nodded as he listened closely. Xiang Ning’s Heaven’s Key Armor was strong enough to absorb the hits of the Pale Moon, so there should be no problem.
The only thing that differentiated the two was stamina. No matter how strong Xiang Ning was, the tenacity of a ferocious beast was incomparable to a human’s.
Xiang Ning had run forward around fifty meters or so, but the beast had already covered almost two hundred meters to clash with Xiang Ning. It raised its paws and revealed its bloody claws. Everyone gasped as even they couldn’t catch up with the Pale Moon’s speed.
“It’s too fast! We just measured its speed to be over half the speed of sound! If it were to grow into a Beast King, it would be a terrible opponent.”
“That’s true. But I’ve also heard that consuming the flesh of the Pale Moon would increase the strength of a martial artist.” LI Yunfei was drooling. If Xiang Ning had heard what he had said, he wouldn’t hesitate to chomp down on the Pale Moon.
When the beast was just meters away from him, his Keen Observation had yet to activate. The chances of activation were relative to the strength of his enemy—the stronger they were, the smaller the chances of its activation.
Thus, he could do nothing but defend. He took the attack square on his chest and felt like he had been hit by a truck. Luckily he hasn’t been injured in any way thanks to the Heaven’s Key Armor.

No problem. As long as the experience points don’t exceed a thousand, I shouldn’t be inflicted with any serious injuries. This is a good chance to grind some experience points. “Old man, you guys can just leave first. Let me have a nice long chat with this beast,” he said into the microphone.
“Hey, what do you mean ‘old man’? Also, I don’t agree with your request. Do you think you’re some kind of undefeatable warrior? Just because you’re stronger than your peers doesn’t mean you can win against anything. The Pale Moon is a ferocious beast capable of tangling with tier five beasts. By the time you run out of stamina, it’ll still be jumping around!”
“Oh, so it’s called a Pale Moon?” Xiang Ning said as he attacked and defended. Initially, every hit he took hurt a bit, but he soon felt pleasure instead. He silently swore that he wasn’t a masochist.
“What the fuck you didn’t even know its name? And you think you can kill it on your own?” Li Yunfei was roaring into his mic; even Six covered his ears.
Because of that, Xiang Ning almost made a mistake and just barely dodged an incoming attack. “Hey! Why the fuck are you shouting so loud? Do that one more time and I swear I will choke you during the night.”

Li Yunfei suddenly felt that he wanted to press him down and whack him on the head.
“Wait, don’t be rash. Give me five minutes. If I’m still doing good in these five minutes then you guys can just leave first.”
“Why?”
“Huh?”
“Why do you want to fight against it alone?”
“Alright, alright. Its speed and strength are just good enough for me. More importantly, it's so much more satisfying to fight against an enemy of your own strength.”
Now everyone was confused. Satisfaction? Don’t tell me that he’s a masochist?
“Uhhh.... You know what? As long as you’re happy.” They decided to observe for five minutes, and realized that the Pale Moon was indeed on the same level as Xiang Ning.
Li Yunfei was more clear than anyone that martial artists need to fight and polish themselves against suitable enemies to grow. The Kaiser Aurumsaur had been too strong for him, but thanks to Xiang Ning he could fight one face to face. Thanks to that he finally had a breakthrough.
Xiang Ning smiled as the fight against the Pale Moon continued. “I really think that you’re such a cool beast.” Just as he said that, Keen Observation succeeded.
“Hmph! I want to see how you can survive for five minutes.” Li Yunfei smiled.
“Triple Slash!” Xiang Ning took the delay between attacks and used his martial skill, damaging the beast. Its white fur fluttered in the air, but the wound wasn’t deep enough. Upon closer inspection, the Pale Moon was only superficially damaged.
Li Yunfei, who was standing further away, was naturally unable to discern that. What a strong counterattack!
“Man, is he really that strong?” Li Yunfei said as he rubbed his chin. Just moments before that, Xiang Ning had been being pushed around like a ragdoll. But as soon as the opportunity had presented itself, Xiang Ning had managed to attack and hurt the beast.
“What if I said that I was joking?” Xiang Ning chuckled. “But still, the Pale Moon is such a tough foe. To think that I couldn’t even damage it.”
“Huh? What do you mean you couldn’t damage it?” Li Yunfei was confused. He clearly saw blood on the Pale Moon’s body.
“At the very least, I should damage it so that it can’t move freely,” Xiang Ning answered as he countered the paw aiming for his face. His sword sank a good five centimeters or so into the beast before the Pale Moon shook it off.
“You crazy bastard.” Li Yunfei was exasperated. To even leave a wound on a Pale Moon was already an achievement all by itself.
In the next few minutes, Xiang Ning showed what it meant to be able to fight and polish oneself against an enemy with the same strength. Both he and the Pale Moon were dancing a dangerous dance where one wrong move would mean death. But even then, he was smiling. It was the best feeling in the world, and Li Yunfei was jealous.
“Alright fine, you win. Be careful. If you die I won’t come back to collect your body,” Li Yunfei complained before he left with the team.
“Charging Toss!” Xiang Ning pushed the Pale Moon away from the main road. “Well, get going then! I’ll catch up in an hour!”
Li Yunfei nodded. With a Windbreaker’s speed, Xiang Ning should be able to catch up within a few hours. Thanks to the appearance of the Pale Moon, there shouldn’t be any more Beast Generals in around a few kilometers at least. After all, it was a beast with a strong territorial instinct.
