Imperial Animal Martial Arts

After he trained in ninja skills for a month, he went home at last. Xian was waiting there for him. He arrived with joy as Xian was happily waiting by the doorstep. He rested early and then slept that night.

Sun Xin had a bad dream and it was taking a toll in his mind. Dream or memories?

He opened his eyes into the void. He saw bubbles of water into the depths of an ocean-like abyss. He was sinking slowly, breathing, and it made him wonder how he could breathe inside the depths of the sea. He moved his hands and he could feel the water currents slowly making him drift to the bottom.

It was a spectacular experience, but he jolted as he remembered what happened. "Did I die? No, this is my past memory when I died!" he questioned himself. Wondering if that was a dream or not. But as he recollected, he realized that it was all too real! Soon after, he slowly rose from the waters and then burst out of the sea like a propelled bullet. Waters exploded and white light flashed.

Inside the S-class rank dungeon, a vast wilderness was seen. The ground dirt was blown by the wind and from afar, a sea was seen.

Though what stood on the ground solitarily was Xin. Facing 3 gigantic creatures that were called the Kings of Monster Beasts. Bahamuth, the bipedal dragon that has the head of a cow. Ziz, a giant bird of the skies. Leviathan, a sea dragon and the king of the seas.

Xin was bitter inside, his comrades all lay dead on his back. His armor was torn apart from all the battle and his weapon was broken from all the fights.

His jet-black hair was caressed by the wind. Almond black eyes were observant of the enemies he was facing. His porcelain skin was tainted with the blood of his comrades that he held before their deaths.

Though Xin was still lively since the battle started. He still has the stamina to spare! Enemies still have to be punished!

He dashed and hurled the dirt apart. The booming sound became the aftermath. Dashing towards Bahamuth, he was rained with magic missiles. Xin saw the upcoming missiles and he dashed in zigzag. The ground was hit and it blasted like a bomb. Xin evaded them all and then he leaped towards Bahamuth.

"Dragon shattering kick! Third form!" he said then made a flying kick.

Boom!

Bahamuth was struck in the head and slammed to the ground. Xin immediately was attacked by Ziz and it dove right toward him. Making a screaming sound that obliterated the ground.

Lumiel evaded then retaliated, "Boar Knee and Elbow Strikes! First form!"

He knee-kicked Ziz on the head and its dive was stopped as a result. Ziz then slammed the ground and rolled several times.

Leviathan roared and then it got out of the water. It floated in the air by controlling the water that it was on. It soon dived at Xin and Xin also jumped towards it.

"Crane whirlwind kick! Second form!" Rotating then kicked a sidekick.

Boom!

Leviathan screamed at the pain he inflicted. It struck the ground afterward which made the ground shake.

Xin was left panting, his butt slammed into the ground. Using martial arts made him lose all his stamina. He could barely stand straight.

Though the battle has just begun. He saw that the enemies glowed and their sizes shrunk. Making him inhale deeply as he knew what would happen next.

It was called the humanoid form which was more fearsome than in its monster form.

He saw the 3 Beast kings and could only bite his lower lips. It would be a great battle on his part.

He saw the 3 having humanoid forms. Bahamuth had a pair of horns on his head with wings on his back. He had a jet black leathery and scaly skin while Leviathan had a bluish leathery skin with leathery wings on his back. Ziz had white feathery wings and human skin.

All three stood in front and he was intimidated. They stared at Xin and were confused as to why this human was so strong. Bahamuth was touching his chin while folding his right arm.

"Can I ask for your name before we end your pity life?" Bahamuth asked. Xin was shocked. To think that he would talk to them was out of his plans.

"I am Xin, Bahamuth. Mark my name, I will avenge my comrades!" Xin said. He felt nervous at the moment. He doesn't know what his reaction would be as his enemies were talking to him right now.

"Xin, nice name. Well, Xin, we will enjoy claiming your life. The same with your comrades. I love their screams as we enjoyed slitting their throats, crushing their skulls, removed their limbs one by one! Hahahaha!" Bahamuth shouted like he took pleasure in it.

"Damn, that kick hurts." Ziz joined the conversation.

"Yeah, it packed a punch," Leviathan said to him.

"Well, you will not have a peaceful death," Bahamuth smirked at him.

"I am looking forward to it." Lumiel then went into his stance.

The three of them all looked at each other and then went into their stance. The wind blows a bit then they exchange blows.

"Drunken fist of the monkey! Ninth form!" Xin used the one with the close combat capabilities against all three of them.

They all did rapid punches and Thousand palms of the Dragon were suitable for such circumstances. He repelled several punches but three against one was a bit disadvantageous. He was hit several times and he stepped back several times.

The three of them all ganged up on him and he was pushed back. Bahamuth punched him in the face and then Ziz kicked him on the side. Propelling him toward Leviathan who kicked him to the ground.

Boom!

The three then used their powers to rain at Xin with him still on the ground. Bahamuth used magic missiles, Ziz his deafening scream, and Leviathan his water cannon.

The attacks did not stop and he was obliterated. However, it does not stop there. Xin immediately leaped towards them despite all the attacks and he kicked Ziz from the back. Making him strike the ground. Bahamuth attacked him and the two exchanged blows. Leviathan immediately followed the two and joined the attacks.

Lumiel punched Bahamuth in the face and followed with a kick on the side. Making him thrown in the process.

Leviathan did a chop on him and Xin received it. Making a slam on the ground. The three were obliterated in the process.

Though in his small victory, Xin saw that they were glowing in red. He knew that it would be the end as they felt enraged. It was their rage form that made them leap in prowess several times stronger.

"Xin!" Bahamuth gestured in slitting his throat, "You're dead!"

Lumiel then gulped his saliva and realized one thing, "If only I am not alone."

Soon, he was attacked by the three in a flash and he was barraged with blows. Kicks and punches.

Bahamuth punched his stomach and then sent him flying upwards. Ziz flew and screamed at him then landed three punches. Several punches were deflected by Fist of the Iron Turtle but it was still heavy for his arms to take.

Ziz immediately axe-kicked him and he was sent diving towards the ground. Where Leviathan was waiting for him to use his water cannon. He was attacked by a water cannon and he was thrown to the ground. Rolling several times and then he stood up.

Upon standing, he felt his strength was waning. All the pain he felt was in the highest threshold and he puked blood. His forehead was oozing blood.

Soon after, he saw the three dashed towards him and he was stabbed in the chest by their hands.

Further, it makes him puke more blood. He felt bitter inside as he knew it would be the end. He thought that he tried his best but his best was not enough.

The three pulled their hands from him and it all blacked out immediately. He was kicked towards the sea by Ziz and he sunk into its depths. It was then, he escaped from their grasp from that time.

He woke up inhaling hard with all his might.

"Damn! I still have nightmares of my death!" he muttered.

He could not escape from the grasp of his limits as he has no powers at that time and was only a mortal. Still, he mastered the Martial arts of Five Animals of Southern style even with his limits. Making him comparable to Heroes by that time.
