In response, Max and another player, both heroes among the contestants, immediately stepped forward.
"You dare to turn me into a monster?! Then let us pro heroes take you down!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Gouketsu casually kicked the so-called hero away.
Is he dead?
The audience inside screamed in alarm and tried to flee the venue in a panic.
Gouketsu paid no attention to these ordinary people.
He didn't even care about the lives of the two heroes, and continued speaking to the crowd in front of him, "My goal today is not to kill you all. I am Gouketsu of the Monster Association."
Upon hearing that familiar name, the host exclaimed in disbelief, "Could you be the champion of the first Martial Arts Tournament?!"
Seeing that he had been recognized, Gouketsu crossed his arms and looked down at the crowd with his four scarlet eyes, alerting them.
"It's easier to talk if you know me. You should know that resistance is useless, right?"
Even though they knew the other person's identity, the host was still more curious about what had happened to them and quickly asked.
"But he should have died at the hands of that monster years ago, so why are you...?"
This question also made Gouketsu recall the past. "You're right. A few years ago, I was defeated by a monster and taken to the monster's lair. He told me that as long as I became a monster, I could cross the boundary that humans could not cross and shatter that high wall!"
Do you understand? I'm on a completely different level now compared to who I used to be!
As he spoke, he took out several Monster Cells from his pocket and threw them all onto the ground in front of him.
"See that? Eat these Monster Cells, and you can become monsters too. But if you don't eat them, I'll kill you!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
From the crowd, a thin, bespectacled young man ran out, picked up a Monster Cells, and swallowed it.
In the blink of an eye.
The body rapidly mutated, and the flesh expanded at an extreme speed.
It has completely transcended the realm of humanity.
"Wow, amazing... a violent power is constantly surging forth!" After transforming into a monster, he immediately turned his attention to his opponent from the match.
It was an injured and unconscious, overweight man, but in its hands, he was tossed away like a toy.
But he couldn't be arrogant for even two seconds.
Suddenly, a crimson figure appeared behind it, twisting its neck with both arms and then looking at the fallen figure, saying in a deep voice.
"If these ignorant masses can improve so much, and I possess the best genes of humanity, this should also allow my ultimate power to truly awaken."
After it picked up the Monster Cells from the ground and swallowed them, its body underwent a complete transformation, and its original skin completely merged with the mesh bodysuit on its body.
Its head even sprouted a pair of sharp red horns!
"It's not just the improvement in my physical functions; I also feel a sense of mental liberation. Is this what it means to become a weirdo?"
When he looked at the Suiryu in front of him, the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"It seems I'll be able to kill you soon enough. How dare you subject me to such humiliation! I'll make you regret this to the death!"
"This looks pretty good."
Gouketsu also commented from behind him.
Suiryu looked at the strange man in front of him, a confident smile playing on his lips. "You seem to have gotten a little stronger again. Well then, make me even happier!"
The words were finished.
The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
In the blink of an eye, the speed at which the two fought was so fast that most people couldn't even observe it.
When it reappears.
With a shout from the Suiryu, "Ming Body Phoenix Ascension Fist!"
The monster's body was also completely sent flying. Upon landing, its bones and internal organs were shattered, and it lost its life.
On the other hand, blood was also slowly flowing down the side of Suiryu's face from his forehead. "It's been a long time since I've been injured. But speaking of which, turning into a monster is really amazing."
Gouketsu was somewhat impressed by the talent of the Suiryu before him, saying, "It would be a shame to kill you, kid. If you were to become a monster now, it wouldn't be too late."
The world from now on belongs to us weirdos. Only the strong like you and me can act recklessly. Isn't that great?
Upon hearing this, Suiryu picked up the Monster Cells, examined it for a moment, and then suddenly asked a question.
"I don't really like the world you're describing. Also, I'm curious about your metal arm. Was your original arm broken off?"
"I think I can do that too..."
With that, he leaped into the air.
The body rotates rapidly.
"Ming Body Sky Dragon Fist!"
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd below, Gouketsu casually slapped him down onto the ground as easily as swatting a fly.
In an instant, the ground shattered, and the Suiryu, thrown back by the shockwave, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Gouketsu no longer showed any pity for his opponent, and said coldly, his voice filled with murderous intent.
"If you don't agree, then you can die."
Looking down at the figure lying on the ground, he mercilessly humiliated, "Is this all you can do? Didn't you want to break my arm? I'll give you three seconds to get up."
3, 2, 1!
The countdown ended, and I stepped on it.
Fortunately, Suiryu immediately got up to dodge, and at the same time, he leaped onto Gouketsu's shoulder and quickly punched the other's head with both fists.
But it was still useless.
Even the Gouketsu could leisurely scoff.
"Very well, then resist even more fiercely!" With that, he raised his left hand to grab his shoulder, and Suiryu immediately retreated to a safe distance.
His expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
What should I do? I can't hurt it at all.
Chapter 217 A Glimmer of Hope Amidst Despair!
Just as he was pondering, Gouketsu looked at the three Three-Legged Crows not far away and reminded them, "You can make your move now."
Following closely behind.
Suiryu heard the screams of martial artists, and just a glance out of the corner of his eye made him break out in a cold sweat.
This is not a good situation.
"Kid, don't get distracted."
Along with the sound came a powerful punch from Gouketsu, which struck the raised arm and sent the man flying.
After sliding to his feet, Suiryu felt a sharp pain in his right arm.
Is it broken?
Before he could react, Gouketsu reappeared behind him and stomped on him.
"Is this not enough? I'll give you three seconds to stand up, 3, 2, 1..."
Just before the countdown reached zero, Suiryu finally unleashed his full power, breaking free from his Binding Vow and launching a counterattack.
What they got in return was still an absolute crushing defeat.
After being sent flying again, the Suiryu finally realized the gap between them.
So strong, better than me in every way... Is this what a weirdo is?
And at this moment.
Besides Suiryu, only Bakuzan remained standing at the edge of the arena.
Upon seeing this, the Suiryu immediately called for help.
"Looks like it's just the two of us left. Could you come and help us out?"
But Bakuzan let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
"Suiryu, after watching the battle just now, I realized something: you are stronger than me, and I can't beat you no matter what. I admit that."
But even you, in your current state, are nearing death. How ironic! Standing at the pinnacle of humanity, you couldn't defeat a monster. You've shown me that humanity has its limits.
As expected, I've made up my mind.
You're the only one left here to obediently wait to die; I've chosen not to be human anymore!
After saying that, he stepped forward, picked up all the remaining Monster Cells, and swallowed them all in one gulp.
"You ate it all! That's incredibly greedy. But can your body really handle it?"
Upon seeing this, Gouketsu merely let out a cold laugh.
The next moment, Bakuzan's body also fell forward limply, as if to confirm the truth of Gouketsu's words.
"Dead? Looks like you're the only one left."
In this situation, it was the first time since the Suiryu was born that he had experienced fear. Fortunately, Max and the other person who had been knocked away earlier returned to the scene.
He stood in front of the Suiryu.
"Don't be so arrogant, you weirdo! We're here as heroes!"
Max turned and asked.
"Can it still move? I hope you can have one."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Suiryu's originally despairing heart seemed to be touched, and a glimmer of hope reappeared!
"Good!"
The next moment, the three of them simultaneously attacked and killed all the Three-Legged Crows that were attacking them.
But right after defeating the crows, the Suiryu immediately reminded him, "Alright, let's hurry up and go."
But the two people behind him remained unmoved, and instead replied righteously.
"Let's hold him off."
"You should leave quickly during that time!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The two of you can't beat it!" But seeing Gouketsu's moving steps, Suiryu could no longer suppress the fear in his heart.
It hurriedly turned and ran away, but then an extremely large figure blocked its way, raising its hands and slamming them down.
"Where do you want to go? The fun stuff is yet to come!"
The words were finished.
The Suiryu's figure was once again slammed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Having also defeated two heroes, Gouketsu was somewhat surprised and said, "This is really like winning the lottery! The disaster level should be the same as mine, reaching the Dragon level!"
"Of course!"
The newcomer was none other than Bakuzan, who had also become a monster, but at this moment he looked more like a huge ape with four arms.
He burst into wild laughter.
"Of course!"
Seeing the Suiryu still trying to get up, Bakuzan raised his four fists and, laughing maniacally, slammed them down.
At the same time.
After assessing the situation, Gyoro-Gyoro also controlled his clone to issue a warning.
"Gouketsu should retreat. The Ninja King is likely on the verge of defeat. The enemy still has a trump card to escape, but if they leave..."
If they come looking for you, all that awaits you is death."
Upon hearing the reminder, Gouketsu also spoke with a serious expression.
