Does Swearing Increase Combat Power?

"Who are you trying to kill?"

Lu Qiang looked like a demon from hell, his mouth full of blood, his hair disheveled, and his strength immense.

Shen Jin felt as if he'd been grabbed by Tyson; his hands were completely immobile!

Lu Qiang, with one hand, gripped both of Shen Jin's sword-wielding hands!

This terrifying strength was almost on par with a strength-type zombie!

Lu Qiang stood up, his movements incredibly fluid, as if he hadn't been electrocuted at all. He stood casually, like a boxing master, with no openings in his defense!

"Heh heh~ Is this what strength feels like?"

Lu Qiang gazed at his hands in a daze, then flung Shen Jin against the wall.

BOOM!

"Cough... Gene Lock..."

Before Shen Jin could even get up, Lu Qiang crossed the distance in two steps. His iron-like hands clamped onto Shen Jin's neck, lifting him forcefully.

"Let me see who you are, daring to interfere in Mad Qiang's business!"

Shen Jin's body was no match for Lu Qiang after unlocking his Gene Lock. He was like a three-year-old child flailing in front of an adult.

Lu Qiang ripped off Shen Jin's helmet, revealing a Rampage Hood?

"..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.

Lu Qiang steadied himself, grinning menacingly, "So you're afraid to show your true face? Today, I will see it!"

He forcefully pulled off the Rampage Hood, revealing an Ultraman Mask!

"..."

Lu Qiang's hand trembled, and he almost choked. His Gene Lock nearly deactivated.

Fortunately, his will was strong now. The years of enduring humiliation and acting subservient had fueled his desire for revenge.

"Cough~ Cough, your..." Shen Jin, with Lu Qiang's hand on his neck, spoke indistinctly. Lu Qiang loosened his grip slightly.

"Do you have any last words before you die?"

Lu Qiang had given up on taking off Shen Jin's helmet. He feared another character, like Doraemon, might appear and ruin his momentum.

His current physical state was unstable; he had to rely on his immense willpower to maintain control and not laugh!

Shen Jin felt he could breathe again and took a deep gulp of air, looking at Lu Qiang mockingly, "I said... you talk too much..."

In the hand that had been limply hanging in front of him, something materialized out of thin air...

Suddenly!

With a BANG!, the tightly shut door was forced open!

A figure engulfed in flames lunged forward, crashing directly into Lu Qiang!

BOOM! BANG~ BANG~

Lu Qiang was sent flying by the fiery figure behind him. However, he adjusted his position in mid-air, landing with a flip and instantly throwing several punches.

Sparks flew.

Shen Jin's restrained body suddenly went slack, and he fell to the ground. The item he had just materialized in his hand vanished.

No one even noticed what had appeared in his hand just moments ago.

In the center of the room, A stunningly handsome young man with a smile stood firm, flames surging from his hands, looking like a protagonist straight out of an anime.

All the men present instantly felt a pang of envy.

"Good grief, did you awaken a Strength-type Ability?" the Comic Book Man rubbed his wrist.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save her!"

Lu Qiang felt the battle energy within him surging continuously, allowing him perfect control over every part of his body.

In this state, he feared no one!

Even if the man in front of him possessed some unknown fiery power, so what?

Shen Jin crouched on the ground, looking at the man through the eyeholes of the Ultraman Mask. He felt a strange sense of familiarity, yet he was certain he had never met this person before.

He was so handsome; if they had met, it would have left an unforgettable impression.

But the familiarity was strong. Had he dreamed of him?

At this moment, the sole protagonist in the room—the Comic Book Man—assumed a fighting stance with his hands, "A strange power. Let me defeat you first, then I'll study it."

"Heh heh."

Lu Qiang charged directly at the Comic Book Man, utilizing every inch of his muscles to perfection, expending the least amount of energy for the greatest effect.

BANG!

Although the Comic Book Man's reaction was a bit weaker, his strength was not inferior, and both of them retreated half a step.

But Lu Qiang's hands were scorched black.

It seemed that in the previous exchange, the Comic Book Man, who practiced Magic and Martial Arts Dual Cultivation, had the upper hand.

Lu Qiang was not afraid at all, as if the scorched blackness on his hands had no effect on him.

Or rather, the activation of his Gene Lock had already blocked his pain!

The two exchanged several more blows in an instant. Shen Jin was rescued by the crowd gathered outside, and Zhao Mingkai took the opportunity to pull Shang Qian out.

The small dormitory became a battlefield for two people, their movements so fast that they were beyond the speed and strength of ordinary humans.

"I never realized Lu Qiang was such a good fighter. Special forces are nothing more than this, right?"

"I heard he was imprisoned for a crime before. As expected, he's no good."

"You guys chat first, I'll help Director Shang to my room to rest." Zhao Mingkai helped Shang Qian and was about to leave.

Qi Tong immediately stopped him, "Don't move around! Help Director Shang to my room."

Shang Qian originally wanted to say something, but seeing Qi Tong speak, she simply didn't open her mouth, closed her eyes, and pretended to be unconscious.

So scary!

Shang Qian felt her whole body go soft, as if she had collapsed, and a sense of infinite fear welled up in her heart.

'Good thing I wasn't...'

But before being carried away, Shang Qian glanced at the person who had initially stunned Lu Qiang. It was a mysterious person wearing an Ultraman Mask.

This person was definitely not one of their colleagues trapped on the third floor, because everyone else had already arrived.

So where did he come from?

After Shang Qian was carried away, she kept feeling that the person's figure was somewhat familiar, but she just couldn't place who it was.

Shen Jin watched the two fighting, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"Is this what it's like to unlock the Gene Lock? To give an ordinary person such strength and combat awareness?"

"And who is this person with fire in his hands? Is this an Ability? Is his strength also this great?"

"Also, why does he look so familiar... I must have seen him somewhere!"

Shen Jin did not use one of his trump cards at the last moment.

This fire-like man rushed over.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side of his ear, "Little brother, who are you? Why are you in Director Shang's room?" Director Wang, who was bald, said as he supported Shen Jin. He had noticed the Ultraman who had appeared out of nowhere long ago.

Damn it! Isn't this the vampire Old Wang!

Shen Jin pulled down his Ultraman mask and coughed a few times, pretending he couldn't speak.

Others didn't notice him for the moment because the fight inside was too intense!

The two fought like a storm, almost demolishing the dormitory, leaving pits and dents in the walls.

The Comic Book Man's situation was not good at the moment.

From an even match at the beginning, he was now almost being suppressed.

Lu Qiang had gradually mastered the power after unlocking his Gene Lock, becoming more agile and ferocious.

"Bang!"

Lu Qiang's knee strike sent the Comic Book Man flying, and he landed on the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of hot blood that was still steaming.

Lu Qiang rotated his wrist, his hands completely black, and scorched in many places.

His defiant eyes swept around, "Who the hell wants to come next?"

Everyone was struck dumb with fear.

Shen Jin stood up, spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam, "I will!"

Shen Jin was touched by the Comic Book Man. For a stranger to fight desperately for him, he had no reason to hold back. Even if he had to expose one or two trump cards, he had to get rid of Lu Qiang!

Shen Jin held the model in his hand, his arm trembling slightly.

The Comic Book Man, who had secretly taken out a Zombie Crystal Core to absorb, almost choked to death upon hearing Shen Jin's words.

Can't you just give me a moment to breathe? Didn't you see I was recovering here?

"Sigh~ So annoying!"

With a sigh, the Comic Book Man swallowed the red crystal core in one gulp, and a large amount of energy surged out within his body, which he absorbed instantly.

"Ah! Nng~~"

The Comic Book Man's meridians felt like they were about to burst, and he let out a painful groan.

But... his strength was abundant!

"Boom!"

The Comic Book Man's body erupted in flames, and he leaped forward to block Lu Qiang.

At this moment, he was like a Demon Subduing Lord descending from the heavens, truly a Grand Duke Jupiter on Earth!

Shen Jin stared at the Comic Book Man with a dumbfounded expression.

"I sat bolt upright in my deathbed, only to realize the clown was me all along?"

Didn't he just run out of steam? How did he get so fierce again?

He really is the protagonist template from Japanese manga, damn it!

The Comic Book Man's aura was even stronger than before, but the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a mask of pain.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"You hit your own dad!"

"Let's see if Dad can burn you to death, you unfilial son!"

The onlookers outside were instantly speechless. Seriously, does swearing increase combat power?
