Dragon-Level Monster Meow

"KING?"

Wu Di's expression froze. He only now realized that the previous battle had already destroyed his mask.

"Cough, cough~ It was just a coincidence. How's the situation inside the venue?"

"A few contestants turned into monsters, but they've all been dealt with."

Saitama said happily. For some reason, he always felt a sense of familiarity whenever he saw KING.

"You're quite strong. I'm afraid you'll be promoted to A-Class before long. Such speed."

"Hahaha! That's true. I have a friend named Wu Di who joined the Hero Association with me. He's already far behind me now."

Saitama said proudly. He didn't pay much attention to the Hero Association's affairs, so he didn't know that Wu Di's ranking had already skyrocketed into A-Class.

"Oh, really? But from what I understand, Wu Di has already been promoted to A-Class and is currently ranked thirty-fifth in A-Class."

Wu Di said slyly. He wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity to put Saitama down.

"Huh? That guy's quite capable, isn't he? He got promoted to A-Class so quickly. Genos was also directly placed in S-Class back then. In the end, my ranking is still the lowest."

Saitama's expression was a little helpless, but his gaze towards Wu Di was a bit strange.

"I don't know if it's just an illusion, but I feel like you and Wu Di are very similar."

"Cough, cough, cough~ Perhaps it's because we both have a heart for justice. It's getting late, and I still have glass noodles stewing at home. I'm leaving!"

Wu Di coughed awkwardly, making up an excuse to slip away. It seemed his identity was starting to be suspected by others, and he needed to be more careful in the future.

"I wonder how the other heroes are handling things."

Wu Di put his mask back on and searched the city streets for any remaining monsters. Suddenly, screams erupted ahead.

"Ah~ There's a monster here!"

"Hero! Where is the hero? Can someone save us!"

"Hmm? What's this?"

A humanoid hedgehog stood in the middle of the street, holding a sign that said "Free Hugs." People around them scattered and fled.

"Come! Let me hug you!"

Just as Wu Di was about to make a move, a burly figure arrived at the scene.

"You're the A-Class Wu Di BOY, right? Don't worry, I'll protect cute boys!"

Sexy Prisoner said confidently, while Wu Di's face went blank.

"If it's alright, could you let me handle it? I'm also working hard to become an S-Class hero like you."

Wu Di wiped away a cold sweat. He knew that Sexy Prisoner deliberately went to prison just to take advantage of male inmates, and he didn't want to be targeted.

"Alright, Wu Di BOY, as expected, you also have a passionate heart. Go ahead and do it, I'll be right here to protect you and ensure you don't get hurt!"

Sexy Prisoner's gaze towards Wu Di was filled with a fiery intensity, making Wu Di feel a chill down his spine. He instinctively covered his rear.

"Cough, cough, cough~ Vine Pierce!!!"

Swish, swish, swish~ Several vines tightly wrapped around the hedgehog monster, then pierced directly into its body, continuously draining its energy.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The hedgehog monster struggled frantically but couldn't break free. In the end, it became a shriveled corpse.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing an Upper Demon-level Monster. Reward: 800 Talent Points."

"Wu Di BOY, is this your ability? We can exchange combat experience when we have time."

Sexy Prisoner was somewhat surprised. There were quite a few psychics in the Hero Association, but not many with strength like Wu Di's.

"I have something to do, I'm leaving!"

Wu Di felt his skin crawl from being stared at and hurriedly left the scene.

"Sexy Prisoner escaped from prison, so the situation at the prison should be..."

As soon as he left the city, Wu Di headed directly towards the prison where Sexy Prisoner was held. That was his last target.

"By now, most of the prisoners should have consumed Monster Cells and gone to the Monster Association. However, that guy won't leave easily."

Wu Di pondered. But before he could react, a cold glint flashed across his chest, and blood instantly spurted out.

"We're almost at the city. I wonder if Gouketu has finished his business yet."

A large humanoid cat yawned, not even bothering to look back at Wu Di's condition.

"Monster Association, Dragon-level Executive, Meow!"

Wu Di staggered to his feet. Meow's speed was too fast; it had inflicted a fatal wound on him in an instant.

If he didn't have immortality, any other hero would likely have been instantly killed.

"Oh? You're not dead yet? Quite capable!"

Meow's expression showed some surprise. They, the Dragon-level Executives, had seen the profiles of S-Class heroes, but Wu Di was clearly not among them.

"What luck! Saves me the trouble of finding you!"

Swish swish swish~ Countless vines suddenly appeared from Meow's feet, firmly binding him in place.

"Vine Pierce!"

Before the vines could pierce Meow's body, he effortlessly broke free from their restraints as if his body were made of paper.

"Your ability is quite good, but unfortunately, it has no effect on me. No matter the gap, as long as it's three millimeters wide, I can pass through it."

Meow looked at Wu Di with great interest. He hadn't expected the Hero Association to have a hero with such an ability, and he decided to torment Wu Di thoroughly.

"Cat Punishment!"

Meow's sharp claws instantly lunged at Wu Di, but they were blocked by a baseball bat Wu Di conjured.

"Quite capable, aren't we! I hope you can last a little longer. I enjoy slowly torturing and killing my opponents the most!"

A thrilled smile spread across Meow's face. The two figures moved like lightning, exchanging dozens of blows in mere moments.

Unfortunately, Wu Di couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed, and his injuries worsened. However, Meow seemed to be enjoying the process.

Each of his attacks wasn't lethal; he deliberately toyed with Wu Di using his speed and strength, wanting to see him in despair and pain.

"No good, this guy's speed and strength are far superior to mine. I need to find a way to restrict his movements."

Wu Di was also quite helpless at this moment. He simply couldn't match the opponent's speed. Although his aura stacked very quickly, he had to be able to hit the target first.

Moreover, the side effects from his previous battle with Gouketu hadn't disappeared yet. He was still in a weakened state, and his speed and strength had naturally decreased significantly.

"That's about enough. Let me give you a quick end. I still want to go play in the city."

Meow saw that Wu Di was covered in blood but showed no signs of falling. Instead, he became more excited the longer they fought, and Meow lost interest.

"Intensified! Cat Punishment!"

Meow's figure rushed in front of Wu Di, his claws turning into countless afterimages, directly engulfing Wu Di's body as bright red blood splattered everywhere.

"This is it! Savage Tornado!"
