*Beep* *Beep*
The Beast Detector went haywire.
The arrow started pointing in one direction, and the beeping got a lot louder. The beeping could easily be heard in the forest because the usual calmness was disturbed because of it.
Ichiro put it on the Inventory, and the noise disappeared.
He exited the forest and arrived at a small mountain.The mountain wasn't that large, but there was a large hole in the side of the mountain, like it was a massive cave.
The Beast Detector showed that the Beast is in that cave…
Ichiro started climbing the mountain, and once he was 50m from the ground, he reached the cave.
The cave was quite spacious, which fit Ichiro perfectly.
If it was tight spaces, he wouldn't enter.
Ichiro entered the cave and started walking in the dark tunnels.
He looked careless, but his senses were working on overdrive.Soon, he reached a spacious space, but there was no one there.
Instead, at the end of the spacious space was another which leads to the underground.
'I am not too sure about this…'
If he isn't confident about something, it usually means that he will either not do it or does it extremely carefully.
But, this time, System made the decision for him.
[You should go, Host. If you manage to kill the Beast… I am confident enough to say that you won't regret it]
"If I manage…" Ichiro rubbed his forehead and made his decision.
He started walking towards the hole which leads to the underground.
Reaching Martial Commander would solve a lot of his problems.
He walked for another 10 minutes until he saw the light coming from the end of the tunnel.
Ichiro stopped at the tunnel's exit and looked at the sight in front of him.
He saw a massive space around 100m in length with blue-colored crystals hanging from the ceiling. But his focus wasn't on those… Instead, in the middle of the room was a massive snow leopard with a length of 20m!
The snow leopard had his eyes shut, and it looked like he was in a deep sleep.
Ichiro took the Rank Meter from his bag.
It started instantly beeping.
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
"6…" Ichiro gulped.
The snow leopard opened his eyes— he used his four limbs and glared at Ichiro murderously.
The beeping woke him up.
'He is Rage Beast!' Ichiro screamed in his mind.
[Have confidence, Host]
Rage Beast has the strength of a Martial General.
It would be unthinkable for anyone in Peak Martial Captain rank to think about defeating Martial General.
But, Ichiro has his system and a few tricks on his sleeves.
He left the tunnel and appeared 50 meters away from the snow leopard.
Ichiro went into his Cat Stance.
He is only using this Stance when he becomes serious.
It is the corner stone of the Iron Style.
He had his right foot in front of him and his left foot behind him. His right toes were slightly curved— this stance is named Cat Stance because this Stance is used to spring forward quickly in the same fashion as the cat jumps at his prey.
Ichiro has modified the Stance slightly to withstand his explosive strength.
Its original name is Cat Stance, but Ichiro's version should be called as… Predator Stance.
It is way deadlier and versatile.
He has still not stopped developing his stance.
But, he is slowly approaching his strength he had in his Prime.
Previous life's Ichiro's strength was Peak Martial General.
It was the limit of humans because he needed to somehow remove his Human limits to improve his strength more.
He didn't succeed because it was simply… Impossible.
But, in this world… It is possible.
Ichiro reached the Peak of Humanity in his previous life.
He doesn't know what is the peak in this world, but he plans to find out!
The snow leopard lowered his stance— it was the familiar stance of cat animals like him— it was the preying stance.
The snow leopard's tail wiggled, and like a missile, he lunged forwards!
He opened his massive mouth and attacked Ichiro with its sharp teeth.
Ichiro put his right arm forwards and put his left arm next to his waist.
He can already see the interior of the snow leopard's mouth.
The snow leopard started closing his mouth— he thought that he was near enough to bite Ichiro's head off.
But then…
Ichiro took a step forwards and pushed his right palm forwards.
*Bam*
The right palm hit one of the snow leopard's teeth, but then Ichiro grabbed the teeth and twisted!
[Steel Edge – Sky and Earth!]
The snow leopard suddenly saw his vision getting blurry. At one time, he saw the ceiling, then he saw the ground. It kept repeating until he crashed on the ground.
*BOOM*
A small crater appeared around the snow leopard.
He used his four limbs and shook his head. He looked baffled— he looked behind him and saw Ichiro standing on his Predator Stance.
The snow leopard growled and shook his head one more time.
He knew that the human did some kind of trick.
But, his instincts told him that he is still stronger.
So, without further ado, he lunged forwards!
This time, the snow leopard used his claws.
[Iron Burst!]
Ichiro appeared right in front of the snow leopard! His claws has already missed Ichiro, and his body was completely exposed.
Ichiro smirked and took a lower stance.
First time in this world.
Prime Kurogami Ichiro makes its appearance.
The man who gave countless nightmares for other Martial Arts Practitioners because of his overwhelming strength.
For the first time, the man who was hailed as Martial God makes his reappearance!
[Kurogami Ichiro's Legacy: The Legacy of Earth's Strongest Warrior – You can use one attack per week with the same strength as Kurogami Ichiro had in his prime!]
Ichiro took a deep breath and took a decisive step forwards.
He twisted his waist, and his muscles bulged like they were about to explode.
[Prime Kurogami's Iron Style – Ironical Destruction – Internal Destruction!]
Ichiro threw his punch.
*SMACK*
The punch contacted with the snow leopard's torso— at first, the snow leopard's face didn't have any changes.
But soon, his eyes bulged and exploded. Next, the snow leopard's organs exploded one after another, then the bones broke, after that… The body exploded.
The snow leopard exploded in a bloody mess, covering Ichiro's body in blood, but also the cave walls.
Prime Kurogami Ichiro's reappearance lasted for 1 second.
But that 1 second alone… Made the Sky and Heavens nervous!
