Human body, bee wings.
Cat claws, cat ears.
A pair of compound eyes like emeralds, and a pair of antennae on her forehead.
She was covered in fur, striped yellow and black, resembling a bee.
Behind her rear end dragged a furry cat tail.
At the end of the tail, a large bee stinger like a steel spike!
"Cat-eared bee girl, quite interesting."
Alan smiled, stood up, and took off his shirt.
Then, in public, he removed his shoes and socks.
Ella's frown deepened.
When she saw Alan undoing his belt and pants... she couldn't help herself!
"Hey! Little rascal! What the hell are you doing?"
"This isn't a bathhouse, why are you taking your pants off?!"
"Stop it now and take the fight seriously!"
Alan ignored her fierce rebuke, folded his pants neatly, and handed them to Sora-sensei.
Shirtless, wearing only a pair of blue spider silk shorts, he faced the furious cat-eared bee girl.
Ella's eyes involuntarily darted to his tall, muscular, half-naked frame.
She quickly looked away, guiltily, her cheeks flushing.
Allen crossed his arms over his chest, looked at Ella, and said calmly:
"Little girl, you don't understand. My clothes are not cheap."
"If they're torn, are you going to sew them up with that needle on your tail?"
Ella glared at him, then quickly turned away, angrily retorting:
"I don't owe you anything, why should I sew your clothes?"
"Besides, my bee stinger isn't a sewing needle... eh?!"
He was cut off in shock before he could finish his words.
His emerald compound eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
Mistress Keith, watching the match from the sidelines, was also surprised and stood up involuntarily.
The eyes of the grandfather and grandson were fixed on Allen.
This muscular young man, already nearly two meters tall, had now activated his ancestral form, becoming even more imposing!
A four-meter-tall leopard-headed giant stood proudly!
His fur was a glossy black, without a trace of color!
There was not a trace of excess fat on his body, his toned muscles clearly visible.
He resembled a statue of masculine strength, a perfect example of the union of strength and beauty.
"Wow... Is this the atavistic form of the demonic leopard man?"
Ella was startled!
She had originally thought that Alan was just bragging.
Witnessing his transformation into a leopard-headed giant, his powerful aura forced her to immediately disregard her suspicions.
He immediately flapped his wings and soared into the air!
His two pairs of membranous wings vibrated at a high frequency, emitting a humming sound like thousands of bees swarming in a swarm.
The cat-eared bee girl, suspended in mid-air, felt her tension ease.
In her opinion, Alan, in his atavistic form, the leopard-headed giant, must be a powerful warrior!
Fighting him head-on on the ground wasn't a good idea.
In comparison, her advantage lay in speed and agility.
The Magic Leopard Man didn't seem to be very good at flying.
Maintaining air superiority would ensure her invincibility!
While pondering a strategy, Anqi's hands were busy.
She skillfully performed a casting gesture, infusing her with "Lightness."
The second-level "Lightness" was also known as "Cat's Grace."
After infusing, it temporarily boosted her Agility.
Anqi's atavistic form already provided a bonus to Agility, and the combination of the two brought her agility to incredible levels!
And that wasn't all.
Anqi had trained in the "Cat Courtyard" of Silvermoon Monastery, learning two Silvermoon martial arts!
One of these techniques is called "Gas Step." Using this technique doubles one's movement speed!
Swish!
Ella unleashed "Gas Step."
The graceful figure vanished into thin air!
The next moment, she appeared behind Alan!
The sharp cat claws scratched his back fiercely, sending blood splattering!
Three bloody scratches were imprinted on the back of the demonic leopard giant.
Alan remained calm as he turned and launched a flying kick.
Alas, his kick only struck a lingering scent of air.
Before he could raise his leg, the cat-eared bee girl had already flapped her wings and flown away.
The next second, Ella's figure appeared above Alan's head.
This time, Alan reacted even faster. Without a second's hesitation, he raised his palm to the heavens!
Bang!
An explosive palm force exploded, igniting the air with a deafening roar!
Ella's pretty face paled slightly in the air.
If she were a bird, she'd have struggled to stop her dive in this situation, and would have been slammed headfirst into Alan's explosive palm force!
However, she possessed bee-human ancestry, possessing membranous wings, giving her flight performance far superior to that of feathers!
Emergency brake!
Hovering mid-air!
Performing a series of acrobatic maneuvers, she narrowly avoided the terrifying palm force.
Not only that, Ella also seized a glimmer of opportunity from the crisis.
She flung out her nimble cat tail, using the stinger at the end as a weapon, and stung Alan's shoulder fiercely.
Injecting poison in the process!
To be exact, two different toxins.
The first was level 3 bee venom, which caused intense swelling and pain, and could even lead to cardiopulmonary paralysis and respiratory failure. Even more powerful is the Level 5 Zerg Virus!
If Allen can't resist, expect a mad attack on the next full moon night!
After striking with a powerful blow, Ella immediately flapped her wings and fled.
She knew her strengths and weaknesses well.
She couldn't get caught up in a tangle with the powerful Demonic Leopard Man!
Hit him several times, but it wasn't enough to quickly bring him down.
If she were to be hit by just one punch from this massive giant... the battle would be over instantly!
So Ella made up her mind to stick to a roving fight, absolutely not letting Allen touch her.
The longer she delayed, the better!
Alan knew exactly what this little girl was thinking.
First and foremost, it had to be acknowledged that Ella had an absolute advantage in speed.
Allen's own Agility stat of 23 was already considered high, yet he couldn't even reach the hem of Ella's clothes. The gap was truly enormous!
The Gluttony system had already calculated the results.
Including the atavism bonus and spell buff, Ella's current Agility stat was at least 30 points.
Not to mention, she could fly.
Even if Allen transformed into a demon leopard, it would be difficult to catch this cat-eared bee lady fluttering through the sky.
Mistress Keith and Sora, watching the battle from the sidelines, had different expressions.
Mistress Keith smiled, pleased with her granddaughter's dominant position.
Sora's eyes were a mixture of worry and confusion.
She knew Allen's true strength and knew he didn't want to reveal all his cards.
However, seeing how badly Ella had beaten him in their initial encounter, leaving him with multiple injuries, she couldn't help but worry.
The scratches on her back and the redness and swelling on her shoulder appeared to be mere flesh wounds.
However, Sora knew that her daughter's cat claws and bee stings were deadly weapons, each carrying a potent poison!
Ella's bloodline was a hybrid of cat and bee, meaning she possessed both the beast and insect viruses!
If Alan were infected with either, the consequences would be dire!
Sora couldn't understand why Alan, who was clearly skilled in physical training, didn't use it to defend against Ella's claws and stings?
In truth, Alan had deliberately held off on activating his "Iron Bones."
He had deliberately allowed himself to be scratched and stung by Ella so that he could collect the virus.
Beastial Virus: Feline (Cat-Man)
Insectial Virus: Diptera (Bee-Man)
The system interface showed an updated toxin atlas.
Alan smiled faintly and raised his hand to unleash a "Finger Wave."
"Thank you for stretching my legs, little girl. The game officially begins!"
The cat-eared bee girl swerved mid-air, narrowly avoiding the "Finger Wave."
Puff!
A finger force brushed past the cat's tail, exploding a small cloud of silver spores in the air.
During the fierce battle, Ella didn't notice that a small amount of silver spores, carried by the air current, had clinged to the tip of her furry tail.
The cat-eared bee girl folded her membranous wings, flipped mid-air, and landed lightly on the wall.
Holding her claws tightly against the smooth wall, Ella turned and glared at Alan.
"Big guy! You're really stubborn!"
"Stretching your legs, huh? I'm going to pull out your tendons and break your bones!"
She freed her right hand and swung it at Alan, who was lying on the ground.
Swish!
The cat's claws were so fast they left a trail of shadows, unleashing a translucent wind blade that whistled towards Allen!
Silver Moon Style, Level Two Martial Art—Air Slash Wave!
His emerald eyes narrowed slightly, and Allen crossed his arms in front of him.
The sharp wind blade, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, slashed at the point where his arms crossed!
The leopard-headed giant's majestic body slid backwards.
Swish, swish, swish—
The marble floor was gouged with two deep rows of claws!
Sparks flew, and stone dust splattered everywhere!
The powerful impact forced Allen to slide back ten meters before he stopped his retreat.
The bloodstains on his sturdy arms were shocking.
The cut surface of the wounds glowed with a cold sheen, as if painted with a layer of red metallic paint.
The moment Ella attacked, Allen activated "Steel Bones."
Yet, the wind blade still cut her, penetrating half an inch into her flesh.
The "Sky Slash Wave" is at least twice as lethal as the "Finger Snap Wave," truly worthy of being the secret martial art of the Silver Moon Monastery!
Alan glanced at the scar on his arm, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.
"Little girl, I have to admit, I underestimated you."
"Not enough to break my bones, but after you've injured me this badly, if I don't show some real skill, I'll be embarrassing Sora-sensei."
"You're just talking tough!" Ella sneered. "Whatever you've got, show it! If you touch even one of my hairs, I'll be considered a failure in my training!"
Alan smiled calmly and said to Ella, "Watch out for your tail."
"Huh?"
The cat-eared bee girl instinctively glanced at her own tail, but saw nothing unusual.
Turning her head to look at Alan, her eyes filled with vigilance.
"What do you mean?"
"Count to three."
Alan held up three fingers at her.
"Before you count to three, I'll grab your tail."
