Drunken Dragon

In this first clash, neither Eastern Victory nor the Southern Sea tacitly sent more people into the fray. The plot had only just begun; revealing their trump cards and launching a decisive battle now would have been beyond foolish.

This was merely a test. A test of each side's members, and a test of the plot characters' strength.

The burly, dark-skinned Lamb had enhanced himself with the "Rock Giant," granting him the ability to turn his body into stone and manipulate rock. Both his strength and defense were extraordinarily formidable, with speed being his only slight weakness. Shen Kou, meanwhile, had the "Hulk" enhancement. The two were a perfect match. Lamb's dark skin was now covered in blue-gray stone, his muscles bulging in hard, distinct blocks, creating an overwhelmingly imposing sight. The moment they met, their fists slammed together. With a muffled boom, neither fist was harmed, but the tremendous force traveled through their bodies into the ground, cracking the earth beneath their feet. Shockwaves generated by the collision blasted away the black-armored riders charging past them.

"What's your name? You've got some strength!" Lamb said, his voice sounding like grinding stone. Their fists were still pressed together. Shen Kou bared his teeth and said, "Shen Kou. You're pretty strong yourself." Lamb said, "My name is Lamb. Your life is mine!" Shen Kou snorted. "That's what I should be saying."

The two glared at each other before retreating at the same time. Then, in the next instant, they collided again. Fist after fist crashed together, strength meeting strength in a supreme collision. The other black-armored riders had learned their lesson and hurriedly rode around the two monsters. Though these black-armored riders bore the title of "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals," they were ultimately just cannon fodder.
