"One, two, three, four, five, six... it really is eight floors."

Wu Di looked at the moss-covered tall building in front of him, not surprised, and walked directly in from the entrance.

"I remember it should be here."

Wu Di found an entrance to the underground on the first floor. If it were anyone else, they would probably have to break through this eight-story building filled with countless mechanisms.

However, for him, who knew the plot well, there was no need to take so many detours. He directly entered the real House of Evolution, passing through the underground passage covered with mottled marks.

"Alarm, alarm, intruder detected."

"What's going on? How did someone find the entrance and get in?"

"I didn't expect them to come so quickly! What's even stranger is that the bald guy didn't come, but this masked fellow did."

In the lobby of the underground laboratory, Genos's clones were discussing intensely while looking at the surveillance screen.

"Forget it, just release Asura."

"What? Are you crazy? That guy is completely uncontrollable, a thorough monster!"

Most of Dr. Genos's clones showed expressions of horror, clearly filled with fear for Asura, the strongest experimental subject in the base.

"I just need to tell him that there's a super strong human outside, and he'll definitely be interested. And I'll deal with the intruder too. There's no other force in the base that can stop him now!"

As soon as he said this, the lobby fell silent. Genos walked towards a room in the deepest part of the base.

"Hmm?"

In the long corridor, Wu Di, who was slowly advancing, suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and it was getting closer and closer to him.

"Is it here?"

Wu Di's expression was solemn, and he was ready. After all, this was one of the few monsters in One Punch Man who could sense Saitama's power.

"Oh! Found it! Is this the little ant?"

Thump thump thump~ A huge figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness of the corridor, holding Genos in one hand.

"Asura Kabuto!"

Wu Di was not afraid at all. He swung the Mace, which was flashing with cold light, but it was directly ignored by Asura Kabuto.

Boom~ A massive fist smashed the Mace and Wu Di fiercely against the wall, turning him into a pulp of flesh, completely unrecognizable.

"Hahaha, trash! I hope that super strong human you mentioned doesn't disappoint me!"

Asura Kabuto laughed maniacally. Genos's face was solemn. He naturally knew how terrifying the other party was when he went mad.

However, seeing Wu Di, who had completely lost his life, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were many ongoing research projects in the base, and they absolutely could not be destroyed by anyone.

"Hahaha, I'm in a good mood today, so let me slaughter the weak and pitiful humans in the city! You just watch from the side!"

Asura Kabuto said as he prepared to leave with Genos. At this moment, another voice suddenly came from the corridor.

"As expected of a monster who could see through Saitama, his speed is so fast that I can't even see him clearly."

"Hmm?"

Asura Kabuto looked back and saw Wu Di standing in place, completely unharmed, only his clothes were tattered.

"What's going on with this guy?"

Genos's eyes were also filled with shock. He had personally watched the other party being smashed into a pulp of flesh. How long had it been, and he had already recovered.

This reminded him of an experimental subject who had escaped from the base, Zombieman.

However, he naturally didn't know that Wu Di was using Zombieman's talent, Immortality.

"Interesting, this way it'll be more fun."

Asura Kabuto's eyes showed a brutal killing intent. He loved to torture and kill his opponents bit by bit.

There were no more pleasantries. Asura Kabuto threw another powerful punch, but this time Wu Di didn't dodge. He chose to meet it head-on.

Boom~ The result of this exchange greatly surprised Asura Kabuto. Wu Di actually took his attack and seemed to be doing it with ease.

"Good, good, good! It's been a long time since I've met an opponent like you!"

Asura Kabuto's pupils contracted. His insect-like intuition told him that the man in front of him had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"The corridor is too narrow, why don't we change places? There's a combat laboratory here, let's fight there!"

"Exactly what I wanted!"

Wu Di's eyes were cold. He clenched his slightly trembling palm. Even with the experience card, Asura Kabuto's strength still exceeded his expectations.

"This guy's combat power is at least at the Dragon level."

Wu Di followed Asura Kabuto to the combat laboratory. The surrounding walls were tens of meters high, and the space inside was as large as five football fields.

"Then... let's start our bloody battle!"

Asura Kabuto's eyes showed a brutal look. Suddenly, his figure disappeared from his original spot and he appeared behind Wu Di at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Die!!!"

Boom~ Wu Di endured this punch, but the bones in both his arms were completely broken, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"He's certainly strong."

A slight curve formed on Wu Di's lips. At this moment, Genos watched the battle unfold expressionlessly from the other end of the combat laboratory.

"No matter how strong your recovery ability is, it's meaningless in front of Asura. He's the strongest new human I've created. After I kill you, the next one will be that bald guy. I must uncover the secret to his strength."

While Genos was lost in his thoughts, Wu Di and Asura Kabuto had already clashed again. The bones that had just been broken had long since healed thanks to the terrifying regenerative power of Immortality.

"Heh heh heh~"

Bang! Bang! Bang! The two sides employed no techniques whatsoever, relying solely on pure strength for a head-on collision. Wu Di was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of power, and he was repeatedly sent flying at the beginning.

However, after dozens of exchanges, Asura Kabuto began to sense something was wrong. Although Wu Di's bones were shattered and broken several times, he quickly recovered, and his strength also gradually increased.

The strength between them was now nearly equal. Furthermore, his unique sixth sense made Asura Kabuto perceive a hint of danger.

"You are special!"

Asura Kabuto flapped the wings on his back, increasing the distance between them, and then seemed to have made a decision.

"Wait! Are you losing control again?"

Genos, seeing Asura Kabuto's continuously expanding body, seemed to realize something, his face showing a horrified expression.

Beep, beep, beep~ The combat laboratory was enveloped in red light, and the entrance began to slowly close. The aura emanating from Asura Kabuto continued to surge.

"Is it coming?!"

Wu Di's lips curved slightly. He knew this was the moment the opponent was about to enter his berserk state.

"Anyway, I'm not that strong. After I kill you, I'll go into the city and slaughter indiscriminately for a week."

"Great, I also want to taste what a Dragon-level monster is like!"
