Closest Kin Cannot Be Insulted

Thinking of the achievement points he would soon receive, Li Shu was in a great mood.

He currently had 74 points and planned to save up to 100, then go all-in on an [Invisibility Epiphany Potion] to ensure a successful breakthrough.

After that, he would upgrade the [Beginner Senzu Bean Can]; at the rate he was burning through them, a yield of one per day was no longer enough.

The "Punish Evil and Promote Good" mission had given Li Shu a sudden epiphany. When the time came to punish evil, he could play the role of a barefoot doctor—beat them half to death, then feed them a Senzu Bean. He might just be able to exploit a bug and trigger the "Save the Dying and Heal the Injured" achievement.

"Dare to come in? I have a Two-Star Ball right here," General White taunted, full of confidence in Muscle Tower.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Li Shu chuckled. He and Wukong landed on the ground, pushed open the gates of Muscle Tower, and walked in without a moment's hesitation.

[Power Level: 5] [Power Level: 5] [Power Level: 5]...

The moment they stepped inside, Li Shu saw a group of "power level five" trash looking at them with mocking expressions.

He found it somewhat amusing; he truly couldn't understand where they got their confidence.

Then again, these forces that relied on powerful weaponry to dominate a region didn't understand that in the face of true strength, human-wave tactics were meaningless.

Much like Colonel Silver, who thought he was invincible just because he could take on ten men at once—he was nothing but a frog in a well.

This reminded Li Shu of Satan, who had performed a live global broadcast of himself splitting roof tiles with his bare hands in front of Cell to demonstrate his power.

Even after more than twenty years, the memory of that scene still made him want to laugh.

"Haha."

Unable to hold it back, Li Shu let out a laugh, then quickly added, "Sorry, sorry, I just suddenly thought of something funny."

The expressions of the soldiers on the first floor of Muscle Tower turned grim; they had actually been mocked by a mere brat.

They twisted their bodies, cracking their knuckles or rolling their necks, forcing their bones to pop in a display of ferocity to bolster their presence.

"Kid, you brought a little brat to storm our Muscle Tower? You're not even enough to fill the gaps in our teeth. Why don't you go home to your mommy, and bring her along too so we can have some fun?"

A soldier with a thick beard and a blue baseball cap walked slowly toward them.

The smile on Li Shu's face vanished in an instant. His gaze turned icy, and he looked at the soldier with cold indifference.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out. Li Shu appeared instantly in front of the soldier and punched him in the crotch. The immense force caused the man to arch into a ">" shape, the unbearable agony arriving only a split second later.

The soldier's eyes bulged and his mouth hung wide open, but no sound came out; he could only emit intermittent gasps before collapsing to the ground, clutching his bleeding crotch and writhing frantically.

Except for Wukong, no one had seen Li Shu's movement. His teleportation-like speed and ruthless methods chilled the other soldiers to the bone. Their faces drained of color, and beads of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads against their will.

Li Shu looked down at the soldier indifferently and pulled out a Senzu Bean, forcing him to swallow it.

"What's your mother's name? Where does she live? After I'm done with Muscle Tower, I plan to go find her and have some fun." Li Shu used one finger to hook the chin of the now-healed soldier, lifting him off the ground.

Such terrifying strength brought immense shock to the soldiers present, as well as to General White, who was watching from behind the monitors.

The soldier's face was filled with terror; he felt as if that finger was about to pierce right through his chin.

What frightened him most were the man's words and his detached expression.

Even among villains, few could remain indifferent when their own mother was being threatened.

"You will tell me." Li Shu crushed his crotch again and dug his finger deep into his chin.

The unbearable pain caused the soldier hanging from Li Shu's finger to convulse wildly, blood dripping onto the floor with a rhythmic drip-drop sound.

"Wukong, the others are yours. I want to play with this one," Li Shu said without looking back, clearly having been truly angered.

Wukong frowned slightly but didn't say anything, instead charging at the other soldiers. Not a single one could withstand a single blow from him.

In a matter of seconds, they were all on the ground, incapacitated, the fear in their eyes so thick it was practically overflowing.

But this extreme terror didn't come from Wukong; it came from the man who acted like a demon.

Wukong didn't linger and disappeared toward the stairs leading to the second floor.

Li Shu wasn't worried about Wukong's safety at all. Seeing that the soldier was about to die from the pain, he took out another Senzu Bean and forced it down his throat.

The soldier, who had been on the verge of death, was suddenly full of life again, but his eyes were filled with nothing but fear and despair.

"I won't let you die until you tell me your mother's information and address," Li Shu said softly, like a demon's whisper.

The soldiers sprawled on the ground saw this and, aside from fear, felt a sliver of relief.

It was fortunate they hadn't insulted this demon's mother earlier. It seemed that even a demon couldn't tolerate someone shaming his mother.

They swore to themselves that, no matter what, they would never do anything to insult someone's immediate family.

And so, after hovering between the brink of death and rebirth several times, the soldier finally broke.

He wailed in agony, "Just kill me! Please, just kill me!"

"Name, address," Li Shu repeated.

The soldier, unable to endure the torture any longer, finally spilled the information, then sobbed and begged, "Kill me! Hurry up and kill me! I'm begging you!!"

"Not yet. I still have to take you back to find your mother."

Li Shu's soft-spoken words hit the soldier like a nuclear blast, deafening him instantly and sending his mind into a daze.

"Wake up." Seeing that the man's mental state was slipping, Li Shu hurriedly fed him another Senzu Bean.

The soldier was back to full health, but his mind had completely shattered. He looked a bit deranged, incessantly screaming, "Kill me! Just kill me! Mommy! Mommy! I want to go home!"

"Looks like he's gone mad." Li Shu tossed him onto the ground with a casual flick of his wrist. He hadn't triggered the 'Save the Dying and Heal the Wounded' achievement bug, a realization that left a trace of regret on his face.

Immediately, Li Shu turned his gaze toward the other soldiers lying on the ground, their faces etched with terror, and a new idea suddenly took root in his mind.

He decided to try and exploit the 'Punish the Wicked and Eradicate Evil' bug.

Li Shu walked up to one of the soldiers, who was so terrified that his guts felt like they were being torn apart; he lost control of his bowels and bladder, his body trembling uncontrollably.
