Kamui Rasengan

But it was that very voice that enraged Carnage Kabuto.

He hurled a punch with all his strength, intent on smashing this human who looked down on him into pulp.

Yet the next instant, Carnage Kabuto's fist passed straight through Bai Ye's body again.

"?!"

Confronted with this bizarre situation once more, Carnage Kabuto still could not make any sense of it.

And he was not the only one. Genos was also staring intently at Bai Ye, his gaze grave.

He could not understand how his teacher had accomplished this, either.

He had seen cyborgs and espers, but without exception, none of them could make their bodies impervious to attacks.

Bai Ye had even given him the same effect earlier...

Wait... could Teacher Bai Ye have moved at such tremendous speed in that instant that neither Carnage Kabuto nor I could see him, creating the illusion that attacks passed through his body?!

No wonder he put his hand on my shoulder back then. He was carrying me along at incredible speed, so fast that even I never noticed...

Genos's admiration for Bai Ye immediately grew even deeper. His teacher's strength was on an entirely different plane from his own!

And since opportunities to see Teacher Bai Ye fight firsthand were rare, Genos watched from the rear with unwavering concentration.

At that moment, Bai Ye had no idea that the power of Intangibility was causing Genos's misunderstanding of him to deepen further and further.

Only Saitama remained expressionless throughout. At most, he was a little puzzled, unable to understand how Bai Ye had nullified that monster's attacks.

Taking advantage of the opening after Carnage Kabuto's missed attack, Bai Ye pressed a hand against his waist, placing a Flying Thunder God Formula on him.

"...?"

Seeing that his opponent had merely touched him without attacking, Carnage Kabuto snapped out of his daze and sneered, "Are you stupid?"

Then he swung another punch, refusing to believe he would miss this guy every single time.

Bai Ye immediately teleported into the distance with the Flying Thunder God Technique. At some point, he had already marked multiple locations across the battlefield with kunai.

"You're that fast?"

Carnage Kabuto turned to look at Bai Ye, who had appeared far away in an instant, and could not help feeling surprised.

At that moment, Bai Ye suddenly began gathering mental energy in his hand. It flowed continuously in different directions and compressed, forming a high-density sphere of energy.

Clearly, he had not been serious from the start. He was using Carnage Kabuto to test the Rasengan, which he had yet to use in an actual fight.

Dragon-level monsters were rare, especially ones like Carnage Kabuto, who stood out even among their ranks. Ordinary monsters could not withstand his experiments.

Carnage Kabuto also noticed the strange thing that had appeared in Bai Ye's hand, but he looked utterly unconcerned. "What? You think you can beat me with that pathetic little thing? You're really underestimating me!"

No... I can sense terrifying energy packed densely into that sphere. But can Teacher Bai Ye really defeat that monster with it...?

Genos began analyzing it with a solemn expression. Since he had never seen an energy sphere like that before, he found it difficult to judge.

Bai Ye ignored Carnage Kabuto. Once the Rasengan had swiftly taken shape, he walked toward him step by step with it in hand.

At the sight, Carnage Kabuto's initial tension eased.

"Your dodging abilities might be strange, but your attacks are no good! Let me teach you what a truly powerful attack looks like!"

Carnage Kabuto let out a bizarre cry and immediately burst forward at astonishing speed. He was determined to make his opponent taste a full-strength punch!

Faced with the ferociously charging Carnage Kabuto, Bai Ye remained completely composed.

Just as his opponent was about to reach him, Bai Ye suddenly vanished.

"Huh?"

With Bai Ye suddenly gone from sight, Carnage Kabuto instinctively turned his head to check the other directions.

Little did he know that Bai Ye had already appeared right in front of him, and the Rasengan in his hand had been infused with Kamui's power, instantly becoming a black sphere of energy.

Kamui Rasengan!

Bai Ye thrust the Rasengan imbued with Kamui's power toward Carnage Kabuto's abdomen.

The seemingly indestructible beetle armor was as fragile as a cicada's wing before the Kamui Rasengan, which pierced it effortlessly without the slightest resistance.

"Gaaah-!"

Blood immediately sprayed from Carnage Kabuto's mouth, while more poured endlessly from the hole pierced through his abdomen.

Sensing the threat of death, he hurriedly staggered backward in panic, looking utterly wretched.

"...What?! I actually got...!"

Only then did Carnage Kabuto realize that his abdomen had been pierced clean through. He could not accept that he had suffered such a serious injury!

Dr. Genus, hiding in the shadows, was also dumbstruck. Carnage Kabuto had actually been wounded. This was the first time he had ever seen him injured, let alone reduced to such a wretched state.

Genos was no exception. He stood there frozen in shock.

That energy sphere just now... did it change somehow for an instant...?

He had initially been able to sense the terrifying power contained within that energy sphere, yet when Carnage Kabuto's abdomen was pierced, he had sensed nothing at all...

It was as though the energy sphere had become nothingness, yet it had still pierced that monster's abdomen with ease!

This completely defied the laws of physics. If psychic powers manipulated physics, then Teacher Bai Ye had stepped outside physics altogether!

Genos could only blame his own eyes for not being sharp enough. He had completely failed to see what Bai Ye had done!

Damn it...!

Genos was filled with frustration. He was still too weak, unable to manage even something as basic as watching a fight. This was such a rare opportunity to observe his teacher fighting at close range!

No wonder Teacher Bai Ye kept refusing to take me as his disciple. Am I really so weak that I'm not even qualified to learn from him...?

Saitama, on the other hand, looked a little surprised. Bai Ye really was strong. All his moves were things Saitama could not understand.

But judging by this, that Asura-whatever-beetle would never get a chance to fight him, which left him feeling a little disappointed.

"You! How did you do that, you bastard?! Why do you have such terrifying power?!"

Clutching his profusely bleeding abdomen, Carnage Kabuto shrieked, his expression filled with disbelief.

"..."

At those words, Bai Ye's expression immediately darkened. "Do you really want to know?"

Carnage Kabuto froze for a moment. He had only asked offhand. Was this guy really going to tell him?

He actually stood there obediently, listening attentively, seemingly forgetting that the wound in his abdomen was still bleeding.

"!!!"

Genos's expression immediately sharpened. Was Teacher Bai Ye finally going to reveal it?!
