Chapter 1307 Violent Hitting (1/2)
Before Han Sen could answer, the elephant was back on its feet, charging towards him. To keep his teacher from getting hurt, Han Sen pushed Bai Yishan out of the way. Then, with his fist primed, he launched a punch directly into the elephant's sturdy head.
The elephant came to a sudden stop. It didn't fly away or even reel back. Like a car driving head-on into a concrete wall, it hit Han Sen's fist and stopped still. Silence returned to the ears of all there for a moment, right before the elephant slumped to the ground.
Pang!
Another crater was formed as it dropped.
The Obsidian Elephant's body was incredibly strong. It stood up and looked at Han Sen with angry eyes that burned with a flame of hatred. Han Sen could sense the elephant's power growing, but strangely, its body was growing smaller.
The progress of its metamorphosis went with its heartbeat, and after the tenth beat, the elephant's size had reduced to that of a cow.
The obsidian body was hardier than ever now, due to its more condensed size.
”It has opened ten gene locks!” Lotus Empress called out.
Han Sen acknowledged this, realizing that it had only opened its last gene lock after he had delivered the brutal hit it had just received.
Bai Yishan had long studied this elephant, but it was like a foreign creature now. It was surging with a power unlike anything he had ever seen before, and the terror made it difficult for him to observe the event.
Bai Yishan had also forgotten he was standing on what had become the arena for the two titans to fight upon. He was in harm's way, and he knew he had to remove himself from Han Sen's side for a time.
Fortunately, the elephant was not attuned with a specific element that unleashed wide-spread damage. The creature was purely physical, and thus, Bai Yishan had not been caught in the cross-fire.
”Help me out by taking care of Professor Bai!” Han Sen issued the command to Lotus Empress.
Lotus Empress then cast her protective lotuses to shield Bai Yishan.
With Jadeskin firing on all cylinders, Han Sen was ready to fight the elephant. It was his first ten versus ten gene lock battle, and he was hyped.
The conditions of this fight would be ideal, as well. The elephant wasn't a tricky being, and it relied purely on physical strength. It was the perfect environment for Han Sen to test the extent of his power.
But unfortunately for him, the elephant did not come. Instead, it started to retreat, stepping backwards ever so slightly.
Or at least, that's what it seemed like at first. The elephant looked to be as angry as ever, and its intent was to get a better run-up. After walking back a good distance, it was as if a levee had broken. The elephant came racing down towards Han Sen with the speed of a bullet train.
Before it had opened its tenth gene lock, the elephant's might had been handicapped by its lesser speed. Now, speed was no longer an issue for it. In fact, it was coming towards Han Sen at a speed greater than anything he had fought against before.
Han Sen did not need to rely solely on his fists, though. And he was confident he could still take it on, even at its own game. To test his mettle, he stood where he was, looked down, and put his head forward. He was going to butt heads with the rampaging beast.
