In full view of everyone, Hulk raised his clenched fist and charged at Luo Bai.

The sight terrified everyone.

Anyone who had fought Hulk knew exactly how devastating a single punch from him could be.

Put simply.

If a bus were placed in front of Hulk, he could scrap it effortlessly.

One punch into the ground could crack the entire surface.

No ordinary person could possibly withstand such terrifying strength.

If it were anyone else, seeing Hulk charge at them, they would definitely prepare to counterattack or evade for the moment to avoid taking that punch head-on.

Yet, to everyone's surprise.

Luo Bai still showed no intention of making a move.

He even stopped where he was and clasped his hands behind his back.

That baffling move left everyone stunned.

"What is he doing? Why did he put his hands behind his back?!" Natasha cried out.

Even Nick Fury beside her could not stay calm. "Is he seriously still not planning to act?! Does he think Hulk's fist is going to miss too?"

Earlier, when Hulk had thrown a car at him, it was one thing that he had not dodged.

After all, there had been some distance between them. It was still possible that the car had gone off course and missed Luo Bai.

But now Hulk himself was charging right at him. There was no way he could miss, right?!

If Luo Bai still did not make a move now, it truly made no sense.

Nick Fury even began to doubt whether Luo Bai was really as formidable as the rumors claimed.

"Can he really handle Hulk?" Nick Fury could not help complaining.

Natasha frowned and replied uncertainly, "He looks so calm facing Hulk. He should be confident, right?"

Hulk's strength was obvious for all to see.

If Luo Bai had no confidence at all, how could he dare face Hulk head-on?

Nick Fury understood that logic too, but he simply could not figure out why Luo Bai still was not acting.

"Could it be that he isn't calm right now, but frozen with fear?" Nick Fury guessed.

His suspicion was not without reason.

If that was really the case... wasn't Luo Bai doomed?!

As Hulk drew closer and closer to Luo Bai, Natasha anxiously asked, "Should I go save him now?!"

"Too late!" Nick Fury said.

Hulk was so fast. How could Natasha possibly make it in time now?

If Stark, wearing his armor, flew over now, he might still make it.

But Stark did not move. Perhaps he believed Luo Bai truly had the strength to deal with Hulk.

"Maybe I guessed wrong... Maybe Luo Bai really is confident he can defeat Hulk..." Nick Fury muttered.

He nervously stared at Luo Bai, who stood motionless in place.

Everyone present was just as nervous as he was.

They watched Hulk charge fiercely toward Luo Bai, the distance between them shrinking by the second.

Almost everyone was guessing what kind of move Luo Bai would use to take Hulk's punch in the next moment.

But what no one expected was... before Luo Bai could make a move.

Hulk kept running... yet before he reached Luo Bai.

There was a loud BOOM, accompanied by a tremendous crash.

The entire ground began to collapse.

The ferocious Hulk vanished in the next second.

Everyone only heard him shout, "Hulk!"

Then they watched helplessly as Hulk fell into a sinkhole.

The entire scene instantly... fell silent.

Nick Fury: "????"

Natasha: "???"

Stark: "???"

Luo Bai: "????"

At that moment.

Forget everyone else—even Luo Bai himself was dumbfounded.

When Hulk had charged toward him just now, Luo Bai had stood still because he was preparing to act.

He had planned to wait until Hulk came close, then strike him with a palm and knock his soul out of his body.

Hulk might have immense strength and incredible durability.

But he had almost no resistance to magic.

One palm from Luo Bai, and Hulk's soul would leave his body.

That would have been more or less the end of it.

Yet Luo Bai had not expected the ground to collapse just as he was about to act.

Then Hulk had simply fallen into the sinkhole without the slightest warning or preparation.

Talk about a coincidence.

The entire ground had collapsed, yet the spot where Luo Bai stood had not.

Luo Bai did not need to think to know that the Goddess of Luck must have acted.

Well, that settled it.

He had originally wanted to show off, and had even struck a pose, but the Goddess of Luck had stepped in.

Seriously, what could he even say...

Luo Bai sighed and turned to look at Stark.

Stark's mouth hung open, clearly stunned speechless.

No one knew how long it took.

But Stark finally snapped out of it and asked in surprise, "Did you use some kind of magic just now?? Why didn't I see you make a move at all?!"

Stark thought it was magic.

But the truth was, Luo Bai had not even had time to act.

"If I said I didn't even have time to use magic just now, would you believe me?" Luo Bai asked.

Stark froze and asked uncertainly, "You mean the ground collapse wasn't caused by your magic?"

"No," Luo Bai replied.

Stark looked even more confused and could not help asking again, "Then why did the ground suddenly collapse?"

Luo Bai thought for a moment. "Maybe it was just a coincidence. You know, aside from knowing magic... I'm also very lucky."

Very lucky??

"Being lucky... can make the ground collapse?" Stark clearly did not believe him. He asked skeptically, "Then can you explain why the ground collapsed?"

Luo Bai thought for a moment. "Is it possible that Hulk hit the ground too hard earlier... and this road was poorly constructed? When he ran just now... the ground couldn't take it, so it collapsed?"

Stark: "..."

That explanation did not sound wrong.

But...

"Isn't that a little too much of a coincidence?" Stark could not help saying.

Luo Bai thought about it and said, "Can't be helped. You know what it's like when you're lucky."

Stark fell silent. After a moment of silence, he gave a two-word reply: "Fucking impressive."

It really was fucking impressive.

Honestly, he really did not believe it.

He would rather believe that Luo Bai had used magic to collapse the ground than believe it had happened because Luo Bai was lucky.

After all, the former could at least be somewhat explained. It was perfectly normal for this world to have some superpowered people.

But the latter.

Come on!

How was anyone supposed to believe that someone could be lucky enough to make the ground collapse...?

"The collapse covered such a huge area... so you really didn't use any magic?" Stark asked.

Before Luo Bai could answer, Nick Fury and Natasha walked over.

As soon as they approached, Nick Fury darkened his face and rebuked him, "Tony, are you sure Luo Bai really knows magic? That was far too dangerous just now. If this road hadn't already been poorly built and unable to withstand Hulk's attack, causing the ground to collapse, I don't dare imagine... what would have happened if Hulk's punch had landed!"

"????"

Stark was dumbfounded. He turned and stared at Luo Bai in shock.

No, brother.

You're a little too lucky.
