"Indeed, there's no enemy a teacher can't handle. Otherwise, the Earth would have been destroyed long ago."

Genos nodded, his trust in Saitama absolute.

"Hey! How did you get out of the spaceship?"

A loli's voice suddenly called out. Wu Di looked up to see Tatsumaki, her body shimmering with green light, looking at them with a proud expression.

The spaceship's bombardment just now had been easily resolved by her using her psychic powers. She had originally intended to deal with Melzargard herself, but Wu Di had appeared and beaten her to it.

"Oh, it's the idol! I was kidnapped by them halfway here!"

Wu Di forced a smile. He couldn't reveal his identity in front of this little ancestor.

"Hmm? It's you! I didn't think you had it in you. So many S-Class heroes couldn't deal with that monster, yet it fell to you!"

Tatsumaki recognized Wu Di, her gaze becoming somewhat suspicious. After all, she had seen how long Melzargard had lasted against the combined assault of numerous S-Class heroes.

"You flatter me! It was mainly because the S-Class heroes had completely exhausted its strength. I just happened to hit a vital spot, and it was pure luck..."

"Is that so? Never mind. Tell me, what exactly happened inside the spaceship? Where is their leader?"

Boom~ A violent explosion echoed from above. The spaceship suddenly became unstable, drawing everyone's attention.

"That's great, Miss Tatsumaki is amazing! Your attack worked!"

Superalloy Darkshine's face lit up with excitement. Once the spaceship landed, they could launch their attack on the monsters inside.

"Hmm?"

Without the time to question Wu Di, Tatsumaki looked towards the spaceship in the sky with a puzzled expression.

A moment later, a brilliant beam of light shot out from above the spaceship. Everyone was bewildered, but Wu Di subtly curved his lips upwards.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for assisting in the elimination of the God-level monster Boros. Reward: One million Talent Points. One random trial card."

"Fantastic!"

Wu Di's face immediately broke into a wide grin. The gains from this trial card were immense, and his Talent Points in the system had surged to a million.

However, something even more surprising was yet to come. The system's prompt sounded again.

"Ding~ Mission complete. Completion rate: twenty percent. Reward: Two million Talent Points. One random talent growth rate 100% trial card."

"I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Wu Di excitedly stood up. His injuries had mostly healed, but he was still very weak.

"Open system interface."

"Talent Points remaining: 3,676,800. Random Trial Cards: 4."

"Monster Slayer Order completion: Eliminated 56 monsters below Demon-level, 4 Demon-level monsters, 3 Dragon-level monsters."

His only regret this time was not having the chance to devour the Dragon-level executives. Otherwise, with the corpses of the three Dragon-upper level monsters, his physical strength would have undoubtedly reached another level.

Rumble~ A roaring sound came from overhead. The massive spaceship plummeted towards the ground, and the S-Class heroes scrambled to dodge.

"Hey! There are still some surviving aliens over here!"

As Superalloy Darkshine shouted, everyone gathered around. At this moment, a handsome young man appeared emotionlessly on the ruins.

"It's him? Damn it!"

Wu Di was about to go and pick up the scraps when he suddenly saw the young man appear, his internal alarm bells ringing.

A-Class rank 1, Sweet Mask.

Pfft~ As expected, the surviving alien monsters were instantly killed by Sweet Mask with a single hand chop. This led to an argument between him and several S-Class heroes.

"Absolute justice, huh? This guy is something else."

Wu Di was quite helpless. He had originally wanted to accumulate more kill counts for monsters below Demon-level.

Boom~ A loud noise erupted from another section of the spaceship, and Saitama emerged from it.

"Oh! He finally came out!"

"Teacher! Are you alright?"

Genos rushed over upon seeing Saitama appear. At the same time, Tatsumaki's gaze was also drawn over.

"Wait a minute, why are you, a B-Class, coming out of a spaceship too?"

"Oh, Genos! It's over, let's go back. Have you seen Wu Di?"

"I have!"

"Oh! Wu Di, that's great, you're still alive."

Saitama greeted Wu Di happily upon seeing him unharmed, but Wu Di's expression was extremely awkward, and he just wanted to escape the scene quickly.

"You all wait! How dare a mere B-Class ignore me? Damn it, don't be so arrogant. Even by myself, I can instantly eliminate all enemies."

Tatsumaki, seeing herself ignored, became furious.

"Hahaha! It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Wu Di quickly stepped in to smooth things over, but Tatsumaki didn't seem inclined to let Saitama off the hook, her body glowing with increased green light.

"Enough, Tatsumaki. You represent the Association, don't you?"

As Wu Di didn't know how to respond, an aged voice suddenly rang out.

S-Class third ranked, Silver Fang Bang, slowly walked over, and Wu Di immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, fine."

Seeing this, Tatsumaki had no choice but to give up and headed towards the spaceship.

"I don't know how you managed it, but it truly exceeded my expectations."

Bang looked at Wu Di and the other two with unfathomable eyes, especially at Saitama and Wu Di, as if he had seen through their secrets.

The next task was for Metal Knight to cooperate with the Association in completing the aftermath and reconstruction work, reinforcing buildings, and constructing a steel fortress.

Furthermore, public construction was reorganized. Roads built from the Association's headquarters allowed for quick access to various cities. They also welcomed heroes ranked A-Class and above to reside at the Association's headquarters.

Meanwhile, Wu Di received another summons from the Association and arrived at the headquarters lobby.

"Wu Di, is it? Please have a seat."

Association executives, led by Jace, sat in a row, looking at Wu Di with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Why did you call me here so urgently?"

Wu Di had some idea what this was about, but he kept his composure.

"Based on your recent performance, the Association has decided to promote you to B-Class and would like to ask for your opinion."

Jace spoke calmly. The Hero Association had taken notice of Wu Di's recent activities. Despite his repeated claims of being captured and taken onto the spaceship, Jace felt that things were not that simple. Especially since Wu Di had ultimately slain a Dragon-level monster, making him feel that the person before him was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

"To B-Class? That's fine. That way, I won't have to participate in activities every week."

Wu Di nodded, and Jace and the other executives nodded in agreement.

"You wish to be promoted? Very well."

After this, there were some irrelevant questions until Wu Di left. Jace was still poring over his profile.

"Masked Man Wu Di, tentatively ranked B-Class fifth."

"Supervisor Jace, new recruits usually start from the bottom. Isn't this ranking a bit too high?"

"No, this guy's strength is definitely more than that. Let's just wait and see."
