"Wu Di, ranked fifth in B-Class. In light of your major contribution this time, the Association has decided to raise your ranking to A-Class. We are hereby asking for your opinion."

Jace smiled. He knew he had not misjudged Wu Di from the start; Wu Di's strength was indeed extraordinary.

"I'm fine with it. If I can move up, then move me up."

Wu Di had originally wanted to refuse. His identity was unusual, and he did not want too much attention from others.

But if he refused, it would only make the Association more suspicious.

After all, rising through the hero rankings brought many benefits. Some people schemed against one another every day, willing to use any means necessary to drag down heroes ranked above them.

"Very well. Once your ranking is finalized, the Association will notify you. We look forward to your future performance."

After Wu Di left, the Hero Association's management began discussing the matter.

"Isn't this promotion too fast? He only just became fifth in B-Class, and now he's being promoted to A-Class."

"Exactly. A promotion like this will likely stir up dissatisfaction among many heroes within the Association."

"In my opinion, we should first raise him to second in B-Class. If he performs exceptionally again in the future, it won't be too late to promote him to A-Class."

"Everyone, there is no doubt about his strength. He absolutely possesses the power of an A-Class Hero, perhaps even an S-Class Hero. Moreover, he has been extremely active lately and has even slain a Dragon-level monster."

"Slain a Dragon-level monster? You mean the monster that was besieged by four S-Class Heroes and ultimately fled in disgrace? But wasn't it already at the end of its rope? This kid probably just picked up an easy win."

As soon as Sekiguchi finished speaking, someone immediately voiced a different opinion. Even heroes had countless networks of connections within the Association and belonged to different factions.

Now that an unknown figure like Wu Di was suddenly rising into A-Class, it meant one hero above him would inevitably have to drop in rank.

"What about this time, then? Garou, who called himself a monster, personally defeated two top-ranked A-Class Heroes right in front of me. If Wu Di had not intervened in the end, all three A-Class Heroes would likely have been wiped out."

The moment those words were spoken, the person who had objected fell silent. Seeing that no one else spoke, Sekiguchi exchanged a glance with Jace and nodded.

"Then it's settled. Wu Di, fifth in B-Class, will be promoted to thirty-fifth in A-Class."

"But there's that one in B-Class..."

"It's fine. I'll explain the situation to her personally."

After leaving Hero Headquarters, Wu Di headed toward City A.

"My weapons and equipment are still on cooldown. I'll head to City A first and look for a Demon-level Monster."

Ever since fighting Mecha God Mira, Wu Di had become increasingly cautious. He understood that even with an immortal body, he could not take risks lightly.

Especially the Monster Association's executives—every one of them was a terrifying existence, undoubtedly stronger than Mecha God Mira. The current Wu Di would not even have a chance to flee from them.

"There's still a long way to go."

Wu Di sighed. The two-month deadline was drawing ever closer.

"Hm? Why do I run into this guy everywhere!"

After traveling for half the day, Wu Di had just entered the uninhabited area of Z City when he ran into an acquaintance.

"You?! Wu Di, B-Class Hero!"

Sonic froze slightly, then endless fury surged into his eyes.

"Egghead... fancy seeing you."

Wu Di was somewhat speechless. There was no need to think about it—Sonic was definitely on his way to cause trouble for Saitama, and Wu Di had happened to run into him.

"Fine. I'll start with you first. That baldy will be next!"

Whoosh~ The sharp longsword thrust furiously toward him. Wu Di dodged aside, and in the instant their figures crossed, they had already exchanged several rounds.

"This guy's speed and strength have improved quite a bit again."

Looking at the wounds on his body, Wu Di frowned. Sonic's attacks were leaving him somewhat overwhelmed.

"Hahaha! Kid, feel despair! Explosive Shuriken!!!"

Boom boom boom~ A series of violent explosions rang out, completely engulfing Wu Di's body.

"Blame your bad luck. You actually provoked the God of Killing!"

Seeing Wu Di suffer, Sonic could not suppress the upward curl of his lips.

"You really are damn annoying."

Wu Di narrowly managed to save his clothes. Otherwise, he would have had to run around naked again.

But judging by the situation today, if he did not deal with Sonic, he probably would not be able to smoothly continue looking for monsters.

"I have to use one after all! System, activate an Experience Card."

Wu Di had accumulated seven Experience Cards by now. One of them had a Talent growth value of one hundred percent, and he had decided to save it as his final trump card.

"Ding~ Experience Card activated: Dragon-level monster Geryuganshoop. Talent: Advanced Psychic Powers. Skill: Psychic Stone Wave. Talent growth value: twenty percent. Duration: twenty-four hours."

"What the hell? A monster's Talent Experience Card?"

Wu Di froze on the spot. This time, the system had randomly given him a monster's Talent Skill—and it belonged to a former executive under God-level Boros.

"Scared stupid? Fine, then die with that fear! Remember my name! Sonic!"

Sonic's figure charged at Wu Di at a speed invisible to the naked eye, determined to sever his head with one slash.

"Wait a second, let me study this!"

Buzz~ Just as the sharp sword was about to slice through Wu Di's neck, an enormous shock wave burst out from within him.

Bang~ Sonic's body shot through the air like a cannonball and smashed directly into a distant building.

"What kind of ability is this? Damn it, he was hiding his strength!"

Sonic crawled out somewhat disheveled, and his gaze toward Wu Di became serious.

"So that's how it is. Random Talent Skills aren't limited to heroes."

After the system explained it, Wu Di calmed down. He was far too familiar with Psychic Powers.

He had once used the Psychic Powers Experience Cards of B-Class Fubuki and S-Class Tatsumaki. They combined offense, defense, and movement, and Geryuganshoop's Advanced Psychic Powers were no less impressive.

However, because the Talent growth value was only twenty percent, the actual power he could unleash might not even match the first time he had used Fubuki's Experience Card.

"It's enough to handle the current situation."

"Die! Four Shadows Burial - Scattered Flash Slash!"

Sonic's four clones charged at Wu Di together, but Wu Di did not panic in the slightest.

"Didn't eat enough? Too slow!"

Buzz~ Sonic suddenly felt an immensely powerful pressure descend around him. Even moving became extraordinarily difficult, and his three clones vanished.

"The gravity field really is useful. Die!"

Wu Di's fist, wrapped in terrifying Psychic Powers, blasted fiercely toward Sonic.

"Damn it, I'm finished!"
