The Strongest A-Class

"You damn things, summarize it in under twenty words!!!"

Saitama's roar echoed from a residential building in Z City. Wu Di, sitting beside him, felt a bit embarrassed; Genos was truly long-winded when telling stories.

After defeating Mosquito Girl, both of them had come to Saitama's home. On one hand, it was to help Genos become his disciple and foster a closer relationship. On the other hand, Wu Di knew that after Mosquito Girl's defeat, Dr. Genos would definitely dispatch monsters from the House of Evolution to capture Saitama.

With his current strength, facing monsters at least at the Demon-level, like Lion King and Beast King, he didn't stand much of a chance. It was better to stick close to Saitama and pick up scraps.

"So, please take me as your disciple."

Genos looked sincere, while Saitama seemed to be pondering something.

"I think it's not a bad idea. Why don't you take him as your disciple, let him join the Hero Association too, and we can fight side-by-side from now on."

Before Saitama could answer, Genos's eyes suddenly flashed, and his body tensed, ready for battle.

"Sensing a high-speed approaching object!"

"They're here!"

Wu Di also detected the energy reaction at that moment. Without waiting for the attack, he directly charged out from the balcony.

"Gagaga! My name is... huh?"

A mantis monster, seeing someone rush out from the building, was about to introduce itself when it was met with a mace flashing with cold light.

Boom! Caught off guard, the mantis man was sent flying several meters away. At this moment, Saitama and Genos had also arrived on the street.

"Looks like quite a few monsters have arrived."

Saitama calmly dealt with two monsters. Before he could react, a pair of sharp claws instantly dragged his body underground, leaving only his head exposed.

"Teacher!"

As Genos was about to help, a mechanical voice sounded from behind him.

"High energy reaction! Target is not you, don't block the way!"

A steel giant appeared before Genos, and a heavy hammer descended.

Genos agilely dodged it and kicked the giant away.

"Are you a cyborg? I have questions for you!"

Boom boom boom! On the other side, Wu Di and the mantis man were locked in a fierce battle. The opponent's attacks weren't particularly powerful, but their speed was incredibly fast, making it difficult for Wu Di to find an opening.

"This guy's strength is also around Demon-level, but far inferior to Mosquito Girl."

After a few rounds of combat, Wu Di had a general assessment of the monster's strength. At this moment, his aura had also accumulated to a certain extent.

Puff! Two blades directly pierced Wu Di's body. The mantis man's expression turned excited.

"Gagaga~ Remember this, I am the mantis master from the House of Evolution!"

"Savage Tornado!"

A smile of success appeared on Wu Di's lips. Numerous attacks landed on the mantis monster, smashing him into a pulp.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for defeating a low-level Demon-level monster and gaining six hundred talent points."

"Hoo~ Without a good experience card bonus, it's this difficult to deal with a Demon-level monster."

Wu Di pulled out the blades stuck in him, and the wounds healed at a visible rate.

"No, I need to hurry."

Wu Di's S-class experience card was about to expire. He wanted to take advantage of the last moments to defeat another monster, especially since the mantis monster hadn't dropped an experience card.

Boom! On another street, dust and smoke billowed as two figures clashed ferociously. Genos and the Beast King were fighting an intense battle.

However, judging by the situation, Genos held the advantage in both speed and strength, especially with the terrifying high-temperature flames constantly scorching the opponent's armor.

"Spiral Incineration Cannon!"

Rumble! A skyward burst of flame suddenly erupted from the other side, engulfing the Beast King, who was caught off guard.

"It's you?"

Genos was somewhat surprised. In fact, he had wanted to ask Wu Di earlier why he could also emit flames, and why he had no equipment on him.

"Let's deal with him together first, and then go help Saitama."

"You guys, all of you will die!"

The Beast King's massive body burst out from the flames. His armor was already more than half melted by the fire, and his helmet had completely dissolved, revealing his true face.

Whoosh! A giant hammer smashed down. Wu Di dodged with a leap, while Genos met the attack head-on.

"Good opportunity!"

Wu Di seized the chance, unleashing his full aura. A mace imbued with immense power descended.

"Wait a moment!"

Boom! The Beast King's head exploded like a cracked watermelon.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for defeating a mid-level Demon-level monster and gaining eight hundred talent points."

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an A-class Talent Experience Card, A-class first place, Sweet Mask, Talent: Physical Healing, Skill: Monsterization, Talent Growth Value: Fifty percent. Valid for one week, usable within twenty-four hours."

"It's him!"

Wu Di's eyes lit up as he saw the newly acquired experience card.

In One-Punch Man, the A-Class No. 1 hero, Sweet Mask, was the most unique existence. His original name was Bizart. He was ugly and, in order to enhance his "inner beauty," he joined the Hero Association by wearing a mask, gradually becoming stronger.

During a battle, his mask was broken, and he discovered he had become a monster with even greater power.

Despite this, he still persisted in his heroic activities, even choosing to monsterize when necessary to protect more people.

Most importantly, Sweet Mask's true strength was enough to instantly kill a Dragon-level monster. Some had speculated that if he were willing to join S-Class, he could even rank in the top three.

"What a shame! I still wanted to ask him about cyborgs."

Genos wore a regretful expression, but Wu Di paid no mind. With such a powerful experience card obtained this time, he could venture into the House of Evolution alone.

Boom! After a world-shattering sound, Saitama slowly emerged from underground. Lion King, ranked second in the House of Evolution, definitely possessed early Dragon-level strength, but he was still instantly killed in front of Saitama. As for Earth Dragon, it was even less of a challenge.

"Genos, Wu Di, you've already dealt with it!"

Saitama walked over nonchalantly, picking his ear.

"Yes, Sensei."

"How about this, Wu Di's idea is good too. You go join the Hero Association first. Once you truly become a hero, I'll take you as my disciple!"

Saitama thought about it. It was a good way to get Genos to leave for now. Otherwise, if he kept following him around, he'd be driven mad.

"I understand, Sensei! I definitely won't disappoint you!"

Genos's spirit instantly lifted upon hearing Saitama's request.

"Saitama, I have somewhere to go, so I'll be leaving now."

After bidding farewell to Saitama, Wu Di headed straight for the suburbs, contemplating his upcoming battles as he traveled.

"I wonder how much my combat power will increase against the House of Evolution's Asura Kabuto."
