Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Boxing Club Disciple

The three figures blinked out of sight from the entrance of the boxing club and stepped into the secret realm.
âHuh, the environment here is not bad, unlike outside. After more than half a month, 1 felt like 1 was going to get depressed.â Lin Sheng glanced around inside the boxing club and spoke with mild surprise.
This was a spacious hall, with light yellow wooden floors that seemed constantly polished. The surface glistened that it could even mirror a person, producing a creaky friction sound under their feet.
Several humanoid models were placed around the hall, most of them made of wood, with a few metal ones. In the center of the hall, a dozen people dressed in white workout clothes were seriously practicing their horse stances, shouting and punching rhythmically.
A burly man, taller than two meters, stood before the crowd with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp, studying every move of the practitioners.
Song Jian and his companions were standing at the entrance of the boxing club, with a faint translucent blue light screen barring their entry. However, they could see everything in the hall through the light screen.
âDamn, I suppose these are the minor monsters in the dungeon. Theyâre level five elites. So many of them!â Lin Sheng, gazing at the people practicing boxing a dozen or so meters away, gulped in fear.
âLV5 Boxing Club Apprentice (Elite), Vitality: 320/320, Skill: Basic Boxing.â
âLV7 Boxing Club Instructor (Elite), Vitality: 720/720, Skill: Advanced Boxing, Tiger Strike Triple Combo.â
âThis is troublesome. They are standing too close to each other. I doubt we can pull them one by one. If these monsters swarm us, I definitely wonât be able to hold them off,â Gao Da Nian said, gripping his axe and frowning.
âI could lure away that BOSS, but not for long. If you guys can take out those elite Box Club Apprentices in thirty seconds,â¦,â Lin Sheng said in a low voice. Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Gao Da Nian: âAre you kidding? Thirty seconds? More like enough time for them to take us out. Let me count⦠One, two, three⦠Damn it, eighteen in total! 1 only have 110 Vitality Points. If they each land one punch on me, they can take me out in seconds.â
Song Jian stared at the stats of the monsters before him. An icon for a countdown timer appeared in his view. In three minutes, the light screen would disappear. Song Jian estimated that once the time was up, they would immediately enter combat. It would be impossible to exit the instance then. The time now was for the players to decide whether they wanted to stay or leave the instance.
âHurry up and decide. Once the countdown is over, Iâm guessing the light screen will disappear. The disciples inside this boxing club will notice us and enter combat mode. Leaving this place then will be impossible,â Gao Da Nian said.
âWe only have two and a half minutes left. Decide quickly. Do we retreat or fight?â Lin Sheng urged. âYou know, I have stealth abilities. They wonât be able to see me!â
âMaster, what do you say?â Gao Da Nian slowly shook his head, already deciding to leave in his mind. He glanced at Song Jian next to him and suddenly asked.
âHow long can the two of you hold off that BOSS?â Song Jian asked.
âIf it wasnât for these minor monsters, I could keep that beast tangled for over ten minutes!â Lin Sheng declared proudly.
âIf we work together, overcoming that BOSS isnât a problem. Itâs just a level seven elite BOSS after all. Its stats are stronger than the monsters outside, but not by much,â Gao Da Nian analyzed calmly.
âAlright, leave those minor monsters to me. You two deal with that BOSS,â Song Jian nodded.
âWhat? Master, weâre talking about eighteen elite monsters here. They must be stronger than ordinary level five monsters. Even if their strength doesnât match a level five elite BOSS, it shouldnât be far off. Eighteen of them!â Lin Sheng exclaimed.
If forced to choose between fighting eighteen level five elite dungeon monsters and a single level seven elite dungeon BOSS, Lin Sheng would undoubtedly opt for the latter.
Sometimes, quantity can cause qualitative change. Once eighteen elite monsters rush up, he would have no room to dodge and could only be on the receiving end. With a playerâs vitality merely being around one hundred, they simply cannot endure an onslaught by so many monsters.
âDonât worry, I can handle them. Just make sure to aggro the BOSS properly,â Song Jian nodded, weighing his options and instructing the other two.
âAlright, weâll trust you this time!â Gao Da Nian bit down. By agreeing to Song Jianâs plan, Gao Da Nian was in the most danger. If Song Jian falls, Lin Sheng could stealthily hide, but Gao Da Nian would have to bear the monstersâ and BOSSâ combined assault, resulting in certain death.
Seeing Gao Da Nian agree, Lin Sheng didnât say another word. He shrugged, made a nonchalant gesture, drew his dagger and held it in hand.
The three fell silent, waiting for the countdown to end.
Ten, Nine, Eightâ¦
The faint blue light screen disappeared and the instance officially began.
The names of the training boxing club apprentices and the BOSS boxing club instructor turned red in an instant. All their eyes were immediately focused on Song Jian and his companions.
Lin Sheng had already entered stealth mode unbeknownst to anyone else. Since they were in the instance by default as a three-man party, Gao Da Nian and Song Jian could still see a semi-transparent figure sneaking towards the BOSS from the left.
âBro, youâre sure you can take them?â Gao Da Nian confirmed again.
âNo problem. You two, get that BOSS,â Song Jian replied, slowly bringing forward a rocket launcher from his back, aiming it at the boxing club apprentices who were beginning to charge at him.
Boom-
A rocket whistled through the air, leaving a serpentine trace before detonating right among the boxing club apprentices. Instantly, seven or eight of them flew up, a massive critical hit damage appearing above their heads.
âDamn, isnât this a bit exaggerated?â Gao Da Nian gaped at the rocket launcher Song Jian was holding, his face a mix of shock and horror.
âDonât you have a BOSS to take care of?â Song Jian glanced at Gao Da Nian.
âRight away!â Gao Da Nian flushed, circling past the boxing club apprentices and diving towards the BOSS. With all the hostility focused on Song Jian, the apprentices didnât spare a glance for Gao Da Nian who was running past them.
Seven or eight boxing club apprentices were propelled backward by the explosion, but the remaining ones didnât show a shred of fear as they swarmed towards Song Jian.
Within three seconds, the boxing club apprentices had come within five or six meters of Song Jian. He lowered the muzzle of his rocket launcher slightly and pulled the trigger again.
Boom-
Another rocket shot out, causing a fierce explosion among the crowd.
Song Jian quickly put away the rocket launcher and drew the âTusk Fang Stingerâ, charging into the group of boxing club apprentices.
After the two rocket explosions, nearly all boxing club apprentices were injured, with several of them directly hit by the blasts, either seriously injured or incapacitated. The remaining twelve to thirteen apprentices only had three-quarters or even two-thirds of their vitality left.
Thud-
A boxing club apprentice threw a punch at Song Jian. He dodged to the side, only to get hit on the shoulder by another apprentice next to him. Before Song Jian could react, he was punched again from the other side. He had fallen into a besiegement just after an encounter.
