Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 664 - 500 Overlimit Drive!
The smoke and dust settled, and that lonely black dot still stood in the center of the large pit.
But under that earth-shattering clash just now, the range of the large pit had grown wider and deeper...
The human general's body was almost completely submerged into the ground beneath him.
His physical constitution might have been able to withstand a collision of this magnitude, but the earth beneath his feet wasn't so resilient.
Like a nail hammered deep into the soil, the human general pulled his body out from the ground that had nearly engulfed his waist, as he used Spiritual Energy to amplify his voice across the entire tide of orcs, "Haven't seen you in a while, not much improvement, huh?"
Bai E recognized his opponent.
This orc seemed to have taken the scar on his shoulder from their first encounter as a mark of disgrace, leaving it there; otherwise, given the orcs' regenerative abilities, they wouldn't have any scars as long as they didn't die.
"Waaaaagh!" The only response Bai E got was an excited roar that bordered on crazed.
Meng Meng felt his blood boiling furiously. The moment they clashed, the genetic craving and fear for a strong opponent surged within him.
Still that same taste! Still as invincible!
Bai E stood in place, assuming his fighting stance; his right fist with the palm facing up was in front, and his left fist with the palm facing down was positioned across his chest.
With a slight smile on his lips, Bai E extended his index and middle fingers toward Meng Meng, who was howling at the sky in place, and hooked them provocatively.
"Waaaagh!" Meng Meng patted his chest to psych himself up, then hurled his spiky great cleaver at Bai E's direction like a savage axe thrower, the attack ferociously sharp—it whistled through the air like the scythe of death.
"Boom!"
The huge cleaver smashed down right where Bai E had been standing, its formidable power splitting the earth, creating two cracks that spread out before and behind where the blade struck the ground.
The cleaver's throw was not meant merely as an attack but as a response to Bai E's provocation.
In their first two encounters, this human used a bow once, a sword another time... This time, he used nothing, and the stance he took suggested he planned to fight with his fists alone.
How could he not agree?
Orcs reveled in such fiery courage and head-on collisions to the death. Meng Meng roared, and his huge body burst from its position, slamming down towards Bai E like a cannonball.
This time, he was wiser. He didn't just blindly compare physical strength with this apparently not-so-bulky human.
Several encounters had taught him a truth: when it simply came to a comparison of strength, he would never be his opponent's match!
His opponent's own strength wasn't particularly strong, but under some power that he couldn't fully comprehend, his opponent's strength received an unimaginable boost. A single punch packed the force of a dozen stacked together, easily capable of sending him flying.
Everyone in the world thought orcs were brainless.
In fact, they were not stupid at all, and they were especially clever in battle.
Apart from strength, this opponent's reactionary speed was actually not as good as his own.
Meng Meng, moving swiftly around his opponent, had a cunning glint flash in his eyes. If he could dazzle him with speed and find an opening to his back, even this invincible human would have to suffer at his hands!
Hehe!
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The sounds of messy punches and kicks almost merged into a continuum, creating a dizzying blur before the eyes of the elven assistant watching from afar.
The speeds of the two individuals engaged in battle were so fast that they far exceeded conventional levels. One might guess the general direction of their movements, but the intricate strikes were practically invisible.
If one were to place oneself in the shoes of any one of them as an opponent...
The elven assistant shuddered.
No! Impossible!
How could one possibly be in their shoes? Wouldn't that be just asking for a beating?
Staring at the tiny black dot that was the human officer, standing still as a mountain in the center, the elven assistant's gaze was filled with stupor.
Is this really the level of a human officer?
If they were really this fierce, how did they lose to their fellow Zoro in the first battle?

Those cunning humans must be deliberately holding back, showing weakness to the elves!
That's just wicked!
These humans must be brewing some utterly evil plan! Once back, they must inform the Prophet and warn them to be careful!
The assistant, whose thoughts had drifted due to his stupor, suddenly jolted as one of the combatants was sent flying by a kick, smashing heavily into the crowd of onlooking orcs and bowling over dozens of them who laughed hilariously.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The blade-faced Meng Meng got up and sent the orcs standing to his left and right flying into the sky with a punch each, his fierce eyes fixed on the distant human.
The opponent slowly withdrew the whip kick that had sent him flying and stood still, beckoning to him with a hand, the provocation arrogant to the extreme!
["Lucky Strike" charge +3]
[The extreme battle has brought out the pinnacle of your physical potential. Your strongest techniques have become your instinct. Under the enhancement of "Overlimit Drive," you are expending a small additional amount of stamina to make each strike 150% more powerful than the limit and accelerate the formation of your personal fighting style by 20%.]
[Current combat proficiency 102/1000, "Personal Style" is forming…]
A fierce and direct fight with a powerful opponent is the best opportunity to establish one's own combat style.
To Bai E, this orc, who had for various reasons escaped from him multiple times and whose strength increased terrifyingly with each encounter, was undoubtedly the strong adversary he needed most at the moment.
In the battle against this familiar orc, all the special attributes learned in his combat mastery were fully validated on his opponent.
Continuous strikes, enhanced defense, seizing opportunities, joint locks, intercepts, pressure points, whip cracks...
Countless fighting techniques would spark inspiration at critical moments, revealing their intended effects in a form so instinctive and physical that even Bai E himself wasn't aware of them.
The whip kick that had just sent his opponent flying was one of these countless techniques – a "whip crack." The striking force and speed at the extremities of the limbs far exceeded any other part of his body, catching the orc off guard, who had gotten somewhat accustomed to his attack force and speed, and was instantly sent flying.
An orc who had taken a hit naturally wouldn't fall for it a second time. Moreover, given the orcs' robust physiques, they'd need to take the punishment dozens or hundreds of times before it could inflict a sufficiently deep impact. This forced Bai E to constantly seek new methods of attack during combat.
