Chapter 2: Unexpectedly Attack the Unprepared

【Wu Kui】!

Two characters flashed and vanished; Chen Jie only felt a wave of drowsiness strike.

He hurriedly put the "Blood Jade Pendant" into the box, then stuffed it back under the pillow.

Ah ha……!

The next moment,

Chen Jie yawned, lay on the bed, and soon entered the land of dreams.

……

Gray sky, vast desolate earth!

Thick fog enveloped the surroundings; visibility reached only fifty meters.

Beyond fifty meters, a gray blur.

Desolate, ruined, oppressive, making one despair……!

Chen Jie entered sleep, and this scene appeared before his eyes once again.

Why say "once again"?

Because this is not the first time, but many times.

Nightmare!

Once you enter a nightmare, wanting to break free from the dream is not that simple.

As soon as he enters this nightmare, his sleep quality becomes very poor.

Next, Chen Jie kept pinching his own leg hard, wanting to use pain sensation to stimulate himself awake.

"Damn it…… how can this have no end?"

However,

"Ah……!"

"Leave this place! I want to leave this place, wake up quickly!"

Half a month!

"Again!? Are you kidding me……?"

He was very tired, his mental state very poor; he really wanted to sleep well, enter deep sleep state.

In the gray thick fog came a shrill howl.

At least Chen Jie currently still has not found a way to casually break free from the dream.

Chen Jie's inner heart was depressed beyond measure.

Can't wake up!

But,

Next,

Only heard a rustling sound in the ears, like someone running.

Simultaneously a hurricane whipped up around, the ground seemingly vibrating.

Chen Jie couldn't help but angrily curse.

Soon,

Ever since half a month ago, after he obtained that "Blood Jade Pendant", every night he has this nightmare.

All this is merely futile.

The thick fog not far away dispersed, a figure appeared.

"Huh……? When will this ever end!!?"

Chen Jie helplessly sighed.

A moment later,

A "Strange Person" tall and mighty in build appeared ten-odd meters away from him.

In the dream, this is not the first time Chen Jie has seen this "Strange Person"!

Remember the first time seeing this "Strange Person", he couldn't help curiosity and walked over.

Result……

He was beaten half to death by this "Strange Person"!

The "Strange Person's" eyes were gray-white, pupil-less……!

That's right,

This "Strange Person" is a dead person, without vitality.

Just like a "Zombie" in movies, yet completely different from a "Zombie".

On his body he wore ancient clothing; on his shoulder a horrifying gaping wound, shocking to the eye.

Walk closer, and you can see his shattered shoulder blade.

Just like the body suffered a heavy blow, then was one-hit killed.

Very bizarre!

At this time,

Only saw this "Strange Person" wandering aimlessly; his body appeared somewhat stiff.

But, his movements are not slow.

Nor does he move by jumping like a "Zombie".

If you don't approach to observe, there is almost no difference from an ordinary person.

Hu……!

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the other party.

The "Strange Person" walked forward a distance, then walked back...

After the dense fog in the surroundings dispersed, Chen Jie only then noticed that the "Strange Person" seemed to be blocking a road just right.

Ever since suffering a few losses at the hands of this "Strange Person".

Chen Jie discovered one thing: as long as he didn't provoke this "Strange Person", he wouldn't launch an attack on himself.

Very obviously,

There is an alert zone around the "Strange Person".

As long as one approaches the alert zone, alerting the "Strange Person", he will go crazy and attack oneself.

But,

Once away from the "Strange Person's" alert zone, he would quickly return to his original state and not launch an offensive.

Avoid him!

The first thought in Chen Jie's mind was this.

Ever since being beaten a few times by this "Strange Person".

For the next period of time, every time Chen Jie entered a nightmare and encountered this "Strange Person", he would avoid him.

No choice,

If he didn't avoid him, once he neared the "Strange Person's" alert zone.

That would be miserable; the Strange Person would chase and beat him!

People, when in danger, all have a self-preservation mentality.

Chen Jie is no exception.

In the past few days, in the nightmare, every time Chen Jie encountered the "Strange Person", he would avoid him from far away, afraid of nearing the other party's alert zone.

Then in the dream, he continuously explored the surroundings, until finally he lost consciousness and woke from sleep.

However now, Chen Jie raised his head and looked at the "Strange Person" not far away, and his heart suddenly had some thoughts.

"Try again, see what exactly is the situation with this 'Strange Person'?"

When encountering difficulties, one must face them; always escaping is not a solution!

Before this, perhaps because he was chased and beaten by the "Strange Person" every time, he had some shadows in his heart.

So,

Chen Jie never dared to easily attempt.

Although in the nightmare even if he died, he would just wake up very fatigued, with no other impact on him.

But it hurts...!

Remember the first time encountering this "Strange Person", he was chased by the Strange Person and instant-killed with one punch, hurting so much he almost collapsed.

That feeling, just thinking of it makes one feel fear!

After making up his mind,

Chen Jie simply let go of his concerns and walked directly toward the "Strange Person", triggering the other party's alert zone.

"I practiced Sanda fighting in the 'Si Hai Martial Arts School' for three years, although compared to others, there is a slight gap!"

"But whether it's explosive power or punching speed, I am many times stronger than an ordinary person."

"Being chased and beaten by you before was because this old man wasn't prepared."

"Today I'll sneak attack from the side and back, let's see just how strong you are...?"

In the martial arts school, Chen Jie's comprehensive strength could only be considered average.

The only advantage is,

He is tall and mighty in stature, also very handsome, with a very good appearance.

According to Head Coach Brother's words, Chen Jie's agility, explosive power, reaction ability, endurance, etc., all performed barely passably.

But,

Domestic heavyweight boxers are lacking, competition not as intense as other weight classes.

As long as he trains arduously, he still has a good chance to become a heavyweight professional boxer.

Of course,

He is only seventeen years old now, still has potential to tap.

Next month's Xiangnan "Youth Sanda Championship", Chen Jie is one of the heavyweight teenage boxers registered by the 'Si Hai Martial Arts School'.

Originally Brother placed high hopes on him.

But this period of time, Chen Jie's training was not in condition, listless all day, looking like he hadn't slept enough.

Brother scolded him more than once, angry until his face turned green!

No way, hate iron not becoming steel!

Hu...!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, adjusted his condition.

For some reason,

Once his inner heart made up its mind, his fighting spirit immediately became extremely vigorous.

Peng...!

Chen Jie's foot stepped back with a pedal, then his body rushed forward rapidly.

Rush Step Kick!

He pushed his speed to the limit, one leg forward, launching an explosive offensive from the "Strange Person's" side.

Fast, accurate, ruthless!

At this moment,

Chen Jie brought the Rush Step Kick's offense to full, flawless display.

Catching off guard, striking where unprepared!

Right as the 'Strange Person' Alert Zone was triggered, the instant the 'Strange Person' just reacted.

This Rush Step Kick struck viciously at the right rib area of the 'Strange Person' dressed in ancient-style clothing.
