Legendary Fighter
15. Resilient Opponent
Zhou Fan's footsteps halted when in front of him there appeared a beast that looked towards him with a dense murderous appetite.
"Contributed..." Zhou Fan said in a surprised tone, he could certainly recognize this type of beast, besides having a bright red fur, this beast also often made a very unpleasant sound, because of his voice that this beast is called a discordant ape.
It was not because of the type of beast in front of him that made Zhou Fan surprised, but because the discordant ape beast included a level 3 beast that was equivalent to a master fighter.
Zhou Fan realized that if he fought with the discordant apes, even though Zhou Fan had already unleashed his full strength, he would not be able to defeat the discordant apes due to the enormous difference in strength.
Zhou Fan thought about how he could escape from the apes.
"I mustn't die now, I must find a way to escape," said Zhou Fan who began to look puzzled.
The discordant ape who saw his enemy wailing, instantly jumped and swung his arm towards Zhou Fan's body.
But the attack of the discordant ape could be avoided easily by Zhou Fan.
"Yourf..."
Seeing the attack he gave did not hit the opponent of the discordant ape just snorted.
After dodging the attack of the discordant ape Zhou Fan cursed the discordant ape for attacking him at a time when he was unprepared.
"Oi damn ape, why did you attack me when I wasn't ready, you cowardly ape!" zhou Fan was upset.
As if understanding that the curse Zhou Fan had uttered was directed at him, the discordant ape attacked Zhou Fan quickly.
Looking at the discordant ape that was approaching towards him quickly Zhou Fan only said indifferently.
"Oh, it's getting serious." Zhou Fan said in an indifferent tone, but in his mind he kept thinking of ways to escape the discordant apes.
Without feeling Zhou Fan had already exchanged several attacks with the discordant ape.
"What a great thing, a beast of the same level as a master fighter is indeed very strong, maybe now I can't defeat you, yet, but if I can escape, I'll make sure you won't be able to do this again if you see me again." Zhou Fan nodded with an unshakeable look from his opponent.
Zhou Fan had indeed realized, fighting a level three beast that was equivalent to a master level fighter was no easy feat, either, what else he was at this moment was only a level 9-star beginner fighter that possessed strength equivalent to a 6-star advanced fighter.
Now Zhou Fan's condition had been injured after exchanging attacks with discordant apes, but on the side of the opponent had not been hit at all by the attack given by Zhou Fan, before hitting the monkey body, the attack directed by Zhou Fan had disappeared with only a wave of apel hands discordant.
Zhou Fan was no longer able to exchange attacks with the discordant apes.
"Did I just use the lubricant powder I made for diversion?" Zhou Fan recalled that he had poison powder, although it was not deadly but that paralyzing powder could cripple someone at the beginner fighter level for an hour.
If it was used for a level 3 beast that was equivalent to a master level fighter, it was possible that the paralysis powder had no effect at all, but what made Zhou Fan think that getting away with this paralyzing powder was that the aroma released by this powder was very pungent and that it would affect the senses of the discordant apes and Zhou Fan was able to escape.

Flashbacks
"What should I do with this failed pill dreg..." Zhou Fan said in a puzzled tone as he looked at the pile of pill dregs that had already been piled up.
When Zhou Fan practiced pill making for the first time, Zhou Fan had many failures and the result of those failures was a pill dreg that had a very pungent odor.
Zhou Fan then took out the Book of Emperor from within the storage ring, he intended to look for a pill recipe that required his pill dregs as an ingredient.
after a long search for Zhou Fan also found a way to utilize the dregs of the pill.
Pill sandpaper can be used as a material to make a powder, namely by melting the pulp of the pill until it is liquid and becomes one, then dried so that it can become powder.
As the pill pulp melted, Zhou Fan suddenly smelled a very pungent aroma, he could not even spit out his entrails.
As Zhou Fan searched for the source of the pungent scent, it turned out to be from the scent of the dregs of the pill that had already become liquid.
By suppressing his nausea, Zhou Fan resumed the stages of making the paralyzing powder.
Zhou Fan crystallized the dregs of the pill with the help of the emperor's manual.
After a while Zhou Fan had already managed to make a few bags of paralyzed powder.
"Maybe this will come in handy when I'm desperate, if it can't knock out the opponent it can at least mess with the opponent's senses." Zhou Fan said as he looked at the pouch containing the lubricating powder.
The flasback
***
Zhou Fan took out a pouch from inside his storage ring.
The moment Zhou Fan opened the pouch slightly it could smell a very pungent aroma.
Zhou Fan grinned as he imagined the effects of the paralysis powder starting to work.
Without waiting for a long time Zhou Fan threw the powder towards the discordant ape.
Booms...
The explosive sound of the bag of powder paralysis, Zhou Fan had already given the ballast to every bag of powder paralysis, if it was thrown over the bag it would explode when it collided with something.
The air around the apes is discordant to be very pungent, smoke puffs spread everywhere.
The discordant apes that were in the middle of the smoke pool began to be uncomfortable with the pungent aroma.
"Groars..." Disordered apes shouted furiously.
A few moments later the smoke began to disappear, the air had returned to normal, it was no longer smelling a pungent smell.
The discordant apes that had managed to eliminate the smoke were looking for Zhou Fan's whereabouts.
"Groars..." The discordant ape again shouted furiously as he did not discover Zhou Fan's whereabouts around him.
***
Inside the cave, Zhou Fan sat in tattered camping clothes, messy hair, as well as wounds all over his body.
After throwing the bag containing the paralysis powder, Zhou Fan immediately rushed off back to the cave, if he decided to delay his departure maybe he would not be able to return to this cave.
Zhou Fan was now recovering his inner energy by eating the recovery pill he had made himself.
After a while, Zhou Fan finished his recovery, now he was able to walk normally despite needing some rest, to heal his internal injuries.
"Maybe for the next few days I'll just stay in the cave and cultivate." Zhou Fan decided to recuperate in the cave for a few days.
"Still lucky I could escape from that damn ape, just look after I'm able to, I'll make that damn ape escape like a rat, but I won't let you live alive." Zhou Fan said in a annoyed tone.
