Monster Association Dragon-level Executive

"The Monster Association's goal this time is to distribute Monster Cells, find strong humans, and have them consume the cells to become monsters."

"The martial arts tournament is also a key target for them, but with Saitama there, my only target is him!"

Wu Di arrived outside the martial arts tournament venue and waited quietly.

Before long, a monster nearly ten meters tall emerged from the venue, its entire body enveloped in a powerful aura.

"Here he comes! Monster Association, Dragon-level Executive, Gouketu!"

Wu Di didn't rush to attack. Instead, he waited for Gouketu to move away from the martial arts tournament venue. After all, if they fought here, the commotion would surely attract other heroes.

Especially with Saitama still inside the venue, if he found them, Gouketu would likely be instantly killed.

Wu Di tailed Gouketu to a dense forest. Just as he was hesitating whether to make a move, Gouketu stopped.

"Come out, you've been following me for a long time!"

"You noticed? As expected of a Monster Association Dragon-level Executive!"

Since he had been discovered, Wu Di decided to stop hiding and walked out from behind a tree trunk.

"Psychic powers? Who are you?"

Gouketu didn't attack immediately. Instead, he wanted to see what Wu Di was up to.

"I'm a hero. If it's convenient, I'd like to borrow your head!"

Wu Di grinned, vines spreading from his arm, and the surrounding trees unconsciously began to surround Gouketu.

"Hero? What a boring title. I can give you a chance to become stronger and then join us."

Snap A still-pulsating Monster Cell was thrown in front of Wu Di, and Gouketu stood still, waiting for his response.

"I refuse. You'll just become fertilizer for the forest!"

Swish swish swish Countless vines bound Gouketu like a zongzi, but they couldn't pierce his body.

"Such strong defense, as expected of a Dragon-level Executive."

Boom Gouketu exerted a little force and broke free from the restraints. He stomped on the ground with one foot, causing the earth to shake violently and all the surrounding trees to fall.

Wu Di leaped into the air, conjuring a Metal Bat in his hand, and swung it with all his might at Gouketu.

Boom Gouketu's massive body was actually pushed back several meters, which surprised him.

"You're different from those trash from before. If you don't join us, I'll have to kill you."

Gouketu's tone was tinged with regret. He could feel that although Wu Di's strength wasn't as great as his own, if he were to become a monster, he could definitely become a new high-ranking executive for the Monster Association.

"I'm not an idiot! To gain power, you abandon your humanity and become this kind of monster. Does being controlled by others feel good?"

Wu Di's face showed disdain. Those who don't train to break through their limits but instead seek external power are ultimately just weaklings.

"That's because you have no idea what true power is, a realm that humans can never reach no matter how much they train."

Boom Gouketu unleashed a punch filled with immense power. Unexpectedly, countless vines surged from Wu Di's arm, blocking his attack once again.

"I knew there was a hero who broke through his limiter through his own efforts, becoming someone everyone looks up to."

Bang Wu Di knocked Gouketu back with another strike. Countless vines poured out from his arm, continuously restricting Gouketu's movements.

"Is that so? If such a person truly exists, I'd like to see them."

Gouketu stopped holding back and unleashed his full power. His terrifying giant fist descended like Mount Tai.

Wu Di skillfully dodged the attack with his vines. The dense forest for a hundred meters behind him was flattened by this single punch.

Tap tap tap Wu Di took advantage of Gouketu's attack opening and charged directly up his massive arm to his face.

"Savage Tornado!!!"

Rumble A massive tornado erupted from the ground, and countless blurs of his bat struck Gouketu's body.

"Annoying ant, get lost!"

Boom Gouketu's fierce punch was suddenly caught, shocking him. He looked up to see a humanoid treant similar in size to himself.

"Damn it, he's here! Go all out!"

Wu Di's peripheral vision caught the glint of a bald head in the distance. He knew Saitama was coming to steal his talent points.

"Full power, plus the energy I've stored!"

Wu Di's hands simultaneously gathered immense energy. Red and blue lights intertwined, and a terrifying shockwave instantly blasted towards Gouketu.

"Gouketu Fist!!!"

"Fang Dragon Killing Fist!!!"

Boom A terrifying giant fist attacked. Wu Di had no intention of dodging; he merely had the treant slightly alter Gouketu's attack trajectory.

Wu Di also feigned an attack, not engaging Gouketu head-on.

The Fang Dragon Killing Fist, carrying overwhelming power, directly slammed towards Gouketu's head. The two were extremely close, with neither having room to dodge.

The terrifying attack directly pulverized Gouketu's head, and he fell stiffly onto the ground.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing a high-level Dragon-class monster, rewarding you with one hundred thousand Talent Points and a random experience card."

With a plop, Wu Di wasn't feeling great either. Gouketu's punch had just vaporized more than half of his body. Fortunately, he had managed to retract his Battle Suit at the last moment, otherwise, it would have entered its cooldown period again.

"As expected of a Monster Association executive, incredibly strong."

Wu Di's body was rapidly recovering, but what he didn't know was that an eyeball flying in the sky in the distance had seen everything clearly.

"I didn't expect him to survive Boros's attack. Such a person is only A-Class? Is this the Hero Association's secret trump card? What cunning humans."

In the no man's land of Z City, deep underground within the Monster Association, the Great Eyeball had witnessed the entire battle between Wu Di and Gouketu.

Then, at that very moment, a shining bald head entered its field of vision.

"What is this? A monster?"

Poof The clairvoyance was suddenly destroyed, its vision cut off. The Great Eyeball pondered this.

"I didn't expect that besides S-Class Tatsumaki, the Hero Association actually has such powerful combat strength. It seems their capabilities need to be re-evaluated."

"At first, I thought victory was assured, but now with so many executives lost, the decisive battle needs to be re-planned."

"Besides this person, the Hero Association might have other powerful forces not yet revealed. It seems I need to probe further."

"And this Wu Di, having killed so many of the Association's executives consecutively, it seems necessary to deal with him as a priority."

In the forest, Saitama looked at the mess left after the battle and Gouketu's corpse. He seemed to understand something, and then he saw Wu Di's figure.

"You actually took care of the monster. You're really strong, King!"
