"Asura Mode!"
Asura Kabuto's muscles swelled all over his body, his skin turning deep purple and his eyes blood-red as an incomparably violent aura burst forth.
"After I kill you, I'll lose my sanity, go to your city, and slaughter every last human there!"
Whoosh—Asura Kabuto's massive body instantly appeared before Wu Di. With one punch, he sent him flying. Wu Di had no power to resist, and he could only feel more than half the bones in his body shatter.
"So fast!"
Wu Di barely managed to open his eyes. That blow had essentially robbed him of his ability to fight. If not for his immortal body, he probably would have completely lost consciousness already.
It had to be said that Asura Kabuto was the strongest monster Wu Di had encountered so far. Before he could think any further, another storm of attacks came crashing down on him.
Bang, bang, bang—Wu Di's body was like a ball, brutally battered through the air by Asura Kabuto. His body was blasted apart time and again, only to repair itself again and again.
"It's over. No one can stop Asura Kabuto in this mode."
A smile appeared on Dr. Genos's face. This was the strongest new human he had personally created.
"Monsterization! Activate!"
Thump, thump, thump—an ear-splitting roar like an engine reverberated throughout the entire combat laboratory. Asura Kabuto suddenly felt a sense of fear from the man before him, who had been on the verge of death moments ago.
"Hmph—just a dying struggle. What I love most is torturing little ants like you to death!"
Boom—Asura Kabuto forcibly suppressed his unease and threw another violent punch, but this time, it was caught firmly by a single hand.
"What?!"
Dr. Genos's eyes widened. Wu Di's mask had long since shattered, revealing three terrifying scars on his face.
"No, this guy seems to be the Hero Association's seventh-ranked S-Class Hero, KING, known as the Strongest on Earth!"
Dr. Genos naturally knew the Hero Association's hero records like the back of his hand, but he never could have imagined that this masked man would be that legendary figure.
"Hmph—even if he's KING, so what? Wasn't he getting thrashed by Asura Kabuto just now? The new human I created is still the strongest after all!"
After a brief moment of shock, Dr. Genos became dismissive again. Judging from the situation, even KING would find it difficult to turn things around in such desperate circumstances.
"This power!"
Thump, thump, thump—Wu Di felt his strength multiply several times over after Monsterization, and it was still continuously surging forth.
Especially with the fifty-percent Talent Growth Value bonus, Wu Di's current strength absolutely crushed Asura Kabuto's.
"No matter who you are, before me, you're all..."
Boom—Wu Di casually threw a punch. Green blood splattered across the sky as Asura Kabuto, who had been so arrogant moments ago, had his upper body instantly blown apart. His enormous head flew straight toward Dr. Genos.
"Ding—Congratulations to the host for killing a Dragon-upper Level monster. Reward: 6,000 Talent Points." "Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining one S-Class Trial Card."
"Leave this place first!"
Wu Di carried Asura's body and headed outside the base. After all, the fewer people who knew about devouring monsters, the better.
"Dr. Genos, you'd better not tell anyone else about my identity. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
A faint smile curled at Wu Di's lips. Dr. Genos was practically insane when it came to creating new humans.
That posed a certain threat to other humans, but for Wu Di, it was actually a good thing. The House of Evolution was a sustainable source of Talent Points.
"Also, I'm looking forward to the next new human you create."
Wu Di left behind a sinister smile. Carrying Asura Kabuto's corpse, he punched straight through the combat laboratory wall and left, leaving only Dr. Genos standing there in disarray.
"Is this... the strength of the Strongest Man on Earth...? Just wait. I'll definitely research a new human even stronger than you!"
Within the forest, Wu Di swiftly moved through the trees with the monster's massive corpse, arriving at a deserted place.
"I got another Trial Card."
Wu Di summoned the system interface and checked the Trial Card he had obtained from killing Asura Kabuto. This was the highest-level monster he had killed so far.
Dragon-upper Level strength was exceptional even in the entire world of One Punch Man.
"Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining one S-Class Trial Card. Twelfth-ranked S-Class Hero, Mumen Rider. Talent: Speed and Strength. Skill: None. Valid for one week. Usage time limit: one hour."
"It's him?"
Wu Di was overjoyed when he saw the Trial Card's description.
Although this draw was only for the twelfth-ranked S-Class Hero, Mumen Rider was known as Saitama's alt. Even Garou, when he had first emerged, had been defeated by him and nearly died at his hands.
"Too bad the time limit is a little short."
Wu Di muttered to himself. The Trial Card's validity period had increased this time, but its usage limit was only one hour. It seemed he could not use it lightly unless it was a critical moment.
"Next, it's your turn."
Wu Di looked expectantly at Asura Kabuto's corpse as a flash of light passed over his body.
"Use Talent Skill: Devour!"
Roar—a massive bloody maw appeared and swallowed Asura Kabuto's corpse whole.
"Tastes like chicken, crunchy!"
Wu Di smacked his lips, feeling an immense energy rise in his abdomen and surge wildly toward every limb and bone in his body.
"It's here!"
Crack, crack—Wu Di's body kept making sounds. He could clearly feel his physical strength rising frantically, only stopping half an hour later.
"Ding—The host devoured a monster and obtained 600 Talent Points." Wu Di (Seventh S-Class Hero KING) Talent: Immortal Body (Max), Ultimate Summoning Technique (Max), Aura (Talent Growth Value: 0%) Skill: Savage Tornado Talent Points: 11,500 Physical Strength: A-Class Lower Overall Strength: Demon-initial
Boom—a several-meter-tall tree fell in response. Wu Di clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surging power within his body.
"My physical strength has broken through to A-Class too!"
Wu Di took a deep breath, but he knew that physical strength had an upper limit. The system merely categorized it according to the ranks of current heroes.
But trying to Break Limit like Saitama was almost as difficult as reaching the heavens.
"My overall strength is actually classified according to monster levels!"
Wu Di was somewhat surprised. A new category had appeared on the attribute panel this time: overall strength, Demon-initial.
However, he guessed this was determined by his physical strength. If he had the chance to stack his aura, his attack power could at least reach Demon-peak or even Dragon level.
"My Talent Points have finally reached ten thousand. I can exchange them for a skill now."
Wu Di rubbed his hands together. This time, he had experienced Pig God's Devour skill. Not only could it improve physical strength, it could even grant Talent Points. This was exactly the Talent Skill he needed most.
"System, exchange them for an S-Class Talent!"
