两男一女的双龙挺进

"Stupid beast, looking at us arrogantly, does it think we are the same?"

Following the disciples\' gaze, Nox\'s eyes fell on Brutus.

[Brutus-Lv35]

\'A high-level Martial Artist,\' Nox noted.

Brutus was muscular with a square face, and he was bare-chested with a dragon tattoo on his back. His body was dripping with sweat, suggesting that he had been busy before being summoned.

The human giant was Master Parker\'s best student… He had joined the dojo when he was ten years old after awakening his Martial Warrior class. It was even rumored that Master Parker had taught Brutus the Warriors\' Pride top technique, but none of them thought this rumor was true as they\'d never seen Brutus use the technique even once.

Even though the rumors might be false, the students of the dojo were certain of one thing: Brutus was loaded with powerful techniques personally taught to him by Master Parker himself.

\'Those techniques are as old as the Warriors\' Pride Dojo, and it took my grandfather decades to perfect them. There is no way this panda could replicate them,\' Master Parker thought with a cruel smile.

Because of how easily the panda had replicated the attacks of his students, the people who had gathered were beginning to doubt his teaching, and this rubbed him the wrong way.

"Kid, do you still want to bet?" Master Parker displayed a confident smile… It made Nox cautious, but after a moment, Nox answered.

"Sure, I have three golden coins with me. I\'m betting all of those."

"I bet 10 golden coins!" Parker smiled and whispered to Brutus in his ear.

"Master, is this the right thing?" Despite his hulking mass, Brutus\'s voice sounded tiny and could be described as a bit feminine, which was very strange.

"It doesn\'t matter if all these people see our top technique. As long as you can put that panda in its place, it\'s fine," Master Parker explained with a dignified expression. "If we allow this panda to win, then these people would stop taking us seriously… So do what you have to do."

Nodding his head, Brutus stood with his legs apart and closed his eyes as his body started to glow softly. Then he unleashed a fierce punch that was incredibly fast.

BANG! A loud bang went off as Brutus\'s fist seemed to make an impact with the very air itself, leaving a trail of shimmering blue energy. Then he repeated the punch again, this time green and purple energy appeared in the air.

As Brutus continued to unleash a flurry of punches, each one landing with a loud BANG, the air around him began to distort and ripple. The shimmering blue, green, and purple energy trails merged into a swirling vortex, growing larger and more intense with each strike.

Nox narrowed his eyes… Why was his heart beating so fast? With each punch, Nox could feel the ground trembling, and the sound of the punches was becoming a deafening roar, like thunder in the distance. The energy vortex expanded more and more.

Suddenly, Brutus opened his eyes, and with a final, mighty punch, he unleashed a blast of energy that shattered the air itself. The vortex imploded, releasing a shockwave that sent nearby objects flying.

A dust storm rose into the air, and when the storm cleared, the impact was immense, creating a crater-like depression in the ground where Brutus stood.

"Dragon Fury!" Master Parker declared, his voice ringing out through the courtyard as he looked at Nox and Thirteen with a smirk. "Let\'s see you replicate this skill."

[Ding! Martial Awareness skill level too high… chances of learning 0.0001%]

Thirteen: [Umu?] The panda stared at the message in confusion… He couldn\'t read, but he was certain the text was a bad omen as, no matter how he tried, he couldn\'t replicate the skill he saw the big man perform.

Nox, seeing the text, also frowned. It seemed this was a pretty high-level technique that was too high for Martial Awareness.

Brutus smirked as he saw the confusion on the panda\'s face. "Someone seems to be having a problem."

"Whoa, was that the legendary technique? So the rumors were actually true!" A student exclaimed with a pounding heart. This was the most powerful martial attack all of them had witnessed!

"Hahahahaha! Of course, he can\'t replicate our dojo\'s legendary technique!" one student shouted.

"Yes, at the end of the day, humans are still superior!"

"Sigh, stupid panda, you have finally been put in your place!"

"Stupid panda!"

The students of the Warriors\' Pride Dojo were beginning to hurl insulting words at Thirteen, and the latter faltered, bringing his hands to cover his face, which was turning red due to embarrassment. He only wanted to enjoy himself and win money for his master, but he failed!

Unlike humans who did not understand beasts, Thirteen understood every insult they were hurling at him… Unable to take the embarrassment any longer, the panda ran behind his master while covering his face.

"Lad, it seems you lost the bet." Master Parker chuckled as he swaggered over. Though it was at the cost of revealing their trump card, it was worth it; now the onlookers wouldn\'t doubt the credibility of his dojo again.

\'Sigh, if only this panda was a human, I could have taken him in as an apprentice. Unfortunately, that wouldn\'t be possible,\' Master Parker thought in pity. The last thing he wanted was for this beast to suddenly turn on his disciples one day.

Master Parker flashed a smile that reminded Nox of those shady merchants and his grandfather. "Well, boy, what are you waiting for? Hand over the coins… If you\'d not been greedy, you could\'ve gone home with big money… If you want to blame anyone, blame your greed, not the panda."

Nox merely stood; he didn\'t answer the old man who was stretching his hands because his mind was elsewhere. Thirteen was lightly sobbing behind him, wetting his clothes.

Nox had never seen Thirteen show this side of him as long as he could remember. The panda was always fierce and hardworking… but beneath that fierce exterior, he was just a cub… a child.

"Who said we\'re done?" Nox held the old man\'s eyes… His words shocked all the disciples and onlookers.

Didn\'t he see that the panda had clearly given up? Why would it run behind its owner if it could replicate the skills?

[Umu?] Thirteen lifted his head to look at his father\'s face. He too was shocked. They weren\'t done?

\'I won\'t let you lose face here, buddy. Why don\'t we give them double… I mean ten times what they\'re asking for?\' A smirk appeared on Nox\'s face as his eyes glowed.
