In the silent night, thunderous collision sounds rang out with such abruptness and volume that they startled countless birds and beasts awake, sending waves of commotion through the surroundings.
In front of the Academy Welfare Store, two figures faced each other—one on the ground, the other flying through the air. Their fists collided fiercely, erupting with thunderous booms.
Su Ming exchanged a punch with the mysterious attacker, kicking up a ring of shockwaves.
The force behind that punch seemed evenly matched on both sides. Su Ming was forced back several steps, while the attacker was blasted into the air and only staggered back to the ground after a while.

Not only would anyone with a functioning brain refuse to reveal their identity in such a situation, but the attacker's condition also seemed abnormal.
"Ahhhhh!"
The attacker let out a low growl that sounded less like pain and more like incoherent delirium. His face was twisted, his eyes vicious, and he looked like a beast that had lost its reason as he roared at Su Ming.
"Intruder! Intruder!?"
The attacker charged at Su Ming while shouting.

"Bang—!"
Amid a collision even louder than the last, Su Ming's fist crashed decisively against the attacker's, unleashing shockwaves even more violent than before.
