"Did KING take care of the monsters again?"
At Hero Association headquarters, Jace let out another sigh of relief. This disaster had appeared far too suddenly, and both the number and level of the monsters had exceeded expectations.
Such sudden incidents usually resulted in severe casualties, and even the dispatched A-Class heroes had been defeated. Fortunately, KING had stepped in and dealt with the strongest Demon-level Monster.
"Masked Man?"
Jace looked at the report from the scene in confusion. There had been many witnesses, so Wu Di's process of killing the Subterraneans had also been recorded.
"Yes. Many citizens claimed to have personally seen a masked man kill monsters and save them. They assumed he was a hero sent by the Association, but this person is not among the heroes registered with the Association."
The customer service representative, Maria, spoke thoughtfully. There were always powerful people in the world who sought neither fame nor profit, and some of them were even stronger than heroes.
"Looks like he's a human who never participated in the Association's ranking assessment. Put him on record in case of future emergencies."
Jace did not dwell on it too much. Powerful humans could sometimes cause trouble as well, but this Masked Man lived in the same city as that man. He probably would not dare act rashly.
"Phew... I finally made it home."
The moment Wu Di entered his home, he collapsed straight onto the floor. A feeling of weakness surged from within him. Even though he possessed an immortal body, using an S-Class Talent placed an enormous burden on his flesh.
Moreover, his immortal body could only heal injuries; it was powerless against the side effects brought by an S-Class Talent.
"The system seemed to say I got an Experience Card just now?"
Wu Di curiously summoned the system interface, and a sexy muscular man came into view.
"Ding~ Congratulations, host. You have obtained one S-Class Rank 17 Sexy Prisoner Talent Experience Card. Duration: thirty minutes. Valid for twenty-four hours."
"Sexy Prisoner Talent: enhanced physical strength. Skill: Angel Form (combat power is at its strongest while completely naked)."
"What the hell? You really want me to kill monsters naked?"
Wu Di could not help complaining. The good news was that he had obtained an S-Class Talent Experience Card. The bad news was that he would have to streak.
"Twenty-four hours... No! I absolutely can't waste it!"
Wu Di silently pondered. The Talent Experience Card was single-use and had no side effects after activation. In other words, he could possess Sexy Prisoner's power for thirty minutes.
Although it was only Rank 17 among the S-Class, it was still enough to kill ordinary Demon-level Monsters.
After the battle just now, Wu Di discovered that he only had seven hundred and thirty Talent Points. For someone desperate to grow stronger, that was still far too slow.
"No. I need to seize every opportunity to accumulate Talent Points. I must gain enough power before the war with the Monster Association begins."
Wu Di secretly clenched his fists. He remembered that, in the original story, the great battle between the Hero Association and the Monster Association would begin soon. All the heroes would mobilize, yet they would still be at a disadvantage.
If Saitama had not been on the Hero Association's side, the outcome would have been hard to say.
"At the very least, I need the Talents of the top three S-Class heroes before I can stand a chance in the battle against the Monster Association."
Wu Di silently made up his mind. He would start with a small goal: obtain the Talent Skills of the top three S-Class heroes.
Whether it was Silver Fang Bang's Water Stream Cracking Fist, ranked third in S-Class, or Tatsumaki's Psychic Powers, ranked second, either could rapidly increase his combat strength.
After resting for half a day, Wu Di's body finally recovered from its weakness. He immediately put on his mask and headed outside.
"Monsters... monsters... Damn it, where am I supposed to find monsters...?"
Wu Di wandered the streets for half the day and found nothing. Monster incidents were sudden by nature. How could he run into one so easily?
By the time it had grown completely dark, Wu Di had already left City M and was wandering aimlessly through the wilderness. The Experience Card had only two hours left before it expired.
"A human actually dares to approach this place?"
Just as Wu Di was about to give up, a shrill voice rang out from the darkness, followed by the sight of a burly figure.
"Rat Man?"
Wu Di's pupils contracted slightly. Before him stood a giant rat with a vaguely humanoid form, staring at him with sinister eyes.
Boom~ Rat Man vanished in a flash, and Wu Di felt as though he had been hit by a truck. His body flew stiffly through the air.
"A Demon-level Monster, Super Mouse. Should I call myself unlucky or lucky?"
That blow had directly pulverized one of Wu Di's arms. It should be known that his physical strength had already reached B-Class.
However, this time he was facing a monster from the Monster Association. Without realizing it, Wu Di had approached the uninhabited area of Z City, beneath which lay the Monster Association's lair.
"Fragile human."
Super Mouse's eyes were full of contempt. Just as he was about to leave, footsteps sounded behind him.
"Fine. You'll do for today."
Wu Di's eyes beneath his mask were exceptionally calm, and his lost arm had already regenerated completely.
"You're actually unharmed? It seems you aren't an ordinary human."
Super Mouse narrowed his eyes, instantly becoming interested in Wu Di.
"I'm fine. Now it's your turn to have a problem!"
The corners of Wu Di's mouth rose slightly. Every piece of clothing on his body exploded apart, and his muscles began swelling at high speed.
"Angel Form!"
Wu Di felt powerful strength surge from within him, dozens of times stronger than before.
Boom~ Wu Di punched Super Mouse, making the other man stagger. A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"A hero?"
Super Mouse roughly guessed Wu Di's identity. He threw a punch in return, leaving a deep dent in Wu Di's body with a single blow.
"As expected, this guy isn't an ordinary Demon-level Monster."
Alarm bells rang in Wu Di's mind. That strike had still inflicted considerable damage, but his immortal body quickly healed the injury.
"Unfortunately, you can never defeat me."
Boom boom boom~ The two figures crossed paths and began wildly exchanging blows. Although Wu Di's transformed strength and speed still lagged behind, he relied on the terrifying recovery ability of his immortal body to throw punches without regard for consequences.
"What is going on with this guy?"
After over a hundred exchanges, Super Mouse's initial contempt had turned into shock, and in the end, a trace of fear even arose in his heart.
No matter how severely he injured the person before him, the other man's wounds would rapidly heal, and he fought without the slightest fear of pain.
"Angel Barrage!!!"
Wu Di's eyes were bloodshot. The momentum of his S-Class Talent had gradually built up, and his fists shot out madly like raindrops.
Thud thud thud~ Super Mouse was beginning to struggle to defend himself. Countless fists slammed into his body, forming dents all over him. He did not possess Wu Di's monstrous recovery ability, and he instantly coughed up blood as he was sent flying.
"Are you a hero? You're pretty strong."
A calm voice came from not far away. Wu Di turned to look and saw a bald man holding a bag of vegetables, staring at him with great interest.
