I'm in a hurry

It was almost noon, and Bai Ye was in a hurry to get back and make lunch.

He figured he could take both of these guys out at once to save time and earn some points along the way.

At those words, Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole both froze.

"Are you trying to be funny?"

Tank-Top Black Hole looked at Bai Ye as though he were an idiot.

"What makes you think you can challenge me and my brother, Tank-Top Black Hole, at the same time?"

After recovering from his surprise, Tank-Top Tiger also wore a look of disdain.

"Isn't this a little crazy? Whether Tank-Top Tiger really has the strength of an A-Class hero like he claims or not, he's still firmly in the C-Class top ten. And Tank-Top Black Hole is a B-Class hero."

"Besides, he might not even be able to beat Tank-Top Tiger alone. Mumen Rider is too weak. Beating him doesn't prove much."

"He's probably just being impulsive. Young men are full of fire, after all. But he's about to pay for that impulsiveness."

"..."

It wasn't just Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole. Everyone around them also thought Bai Ye was asking for trouble.

Even Mumen Rider grew worried. "Bai Ye, isn't fighting both of them by yourself too dangerous?"

Although he knew Bai Ye was strong, he felt that Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole couldn't be underestimated either.

As the saying went, two fists were no match for four hands. Besides, Tank-Top Black Hole was an experienced B-Class hero.

"It's fine. Don't worry about me."

Bai Ye smiled.

"All right..."

Mumen Rider could only pray that Bai Ye would defeat the Tank-Top brothers.

"Stop wasting time over there. If you're going to fight, hurry up and start. I'm in a hurry."

Bai Ye looked coldly at the Tank-Top brothers.

"Fine, let's do it! You make it sound like I'm scared of you!"

Tank-Top Tiger immediately got worked up.

Despite having been frightened by Bai Ye earlier, Tank-Top Tiger was still confident. He had decided that he'd merely fallen for a feint back then.

"Kid, don't blame us for ganging up on you later. You're the one who asked us to fight you together."

Tank-Top Black Hole stressed the point with a sneer.

"Too much talk."

Bai Ye was already getting impatient.

"How dare you act so cocky? I'll show you what I can do!"

Tank-Top Black Hole lost his temper and drew back his fist to strike Bai Ye.

"Hold on."

The Review Committee Member, who hadn't left yet, spoke up. "I'll continue serving as referee, then. Both sides must abide by the rules of the spar."

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and start!"

Tank-Top Tiger looked as though he couldn't wait to beat Bai Ye flat.

At the Review Committee Member's signal, Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole charged at Bai Ye together.

Both primarily fought hand to hand, drawing their strength from their towering builds and bulging muscles.

Tank-Top Tiger stood 1.9 meters tall and weighed 102 kilograms. Tank-Top Black Hole was even larger at 2.2 meters and 143 kilograms, with a powerful grip strength of 200 kilograms.

Their physical capabilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, but they still weren't enough against Bai Ye...

[Ding! The host has redeemed "Physique ×23." 23 points deducted. Current points remaining: 0!]

[Physique +23]

[Physique: 43]

Bai Ye's physical capabilities surged, reaching more than four times those of a normal adult man.

Against these two, he had no intention of using Dual Kamui's ocular techniques. Instead, he would crush them in hand-to-hand combat.

The Mangekyō Sharingan's basic abilities, including its perceptive power, were enough for Bai Ye to keep these two brutes firmly under his thumb.

Their charge looked as slow as a snail to Bai Ye, and he perfectly predicted the paths of their punches.

That predictive ability was another manifestation of his powerful perception. By watching an opponent raise an arm or wind up, he could determine the trajectory of their next movement.

Copying ninjutsu worked the same way. He could mimic an opponent's hand seals almost as they performed them.

Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole attacked Bai Ye from both sides, but he easily dodged every punch, his expression utterly relaxed.

Meanwhile, Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole, the ones on the offensive, were already starting to pant. Fighting was exhausting, and throwing punches that hit nothing was even worse.

"Why does it feel like... Tank-Top Tiger and Tank-Top Black Hole are being toyed with...?"

"So fast! He's dodging so fast they can't even touch Bai Ye!"

"He's only dodging, not fighting back? Maybe Bai Ye is fast but weak. Then it'll come down to who runs out of stamina first."

"..."

The spectators were all stunned by Bai Ye's reactions and speed.

After attacking for so long without landing a single hit, the Tank-Top brothers quickly grew frantic.

They threw punches more frequently, but burned through even more stamina.

Before long, Tank-Top Tiger was too exhausted to even keep his guard up.

"Damn it! You bastard! Is dodging all you know how to do?"

Tank-Top Tiger snapped and started cursing, panting as he sneakily took a brief rest.

"Looks like you've had your fill. Now it's my turn."

Bai Ye spoke calmly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, his gaze turned fierce.

Watching Tank-Top Black Hole's fist fly toward him, Bai Ye tilted his head slightly, letting the punch skim past his ear.

Immediately afterward, he drove his right knee upward into Tank-Top Black Hole's abdomen.

"Urgh-!!"

The knee strike dealt a crushing blow to Tank-Top Black Hole's abdomen. He crumpled to the ground, curled up, and the intense pain left him unable to rise.

Tank-Top Black Hole's face twisted in agony. It wasn't just his abdominal muscles that had taken a heavy blow-his liver had been struck too.

A liver shot was a relatively uncommon way to finish a fight, but almost no one could keep going after taking one. It wasn't merely a matter of pain; the body would also become difficult to control and lose its strength.

[Ding! The host has defeated the B-Class hero "Tank-Top Black Hole." Reward obtained: 8 points!]

"Brother!"

Seeing Tank-Top Black Hole collapse and fail to get up, Tank-Top Tiger panicked.

Thwack!

Tank-Top Tiger's vision suddenly went black. His head rang, and he lost consciousness as he fell to the ground.

Bai Ye had knocked him out with a single punch.

[Ding! The host has defeated the C-Class hero "Tank-Top Tiger." Reward obtained: 4 points!]

Bai Ye took down Tank-Top Black Hole and Tank-Top Tiger in rapid succession. The arena fell silent, and everyone stood there dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open.

"The match is over. Congratulations, Bai Ye."

The Review Committee Member was the first to recover and immediately announced the result.

Only after hearing the announcement did everyone come back to their senses.

Those who had doubted Bai Ye were especially red-faced now. Some were already sneaking away in disgrace, too embarrassed to stay.
