Beat him into submission

"I'll teach you a lesson for your arrogance!"

"Aww!"

"I told you not to tolerate your subordinates!"

"Waaah!"

"Still dare to yell? Looks like you still have the energy, we'll have to beat you!"

On the hotel floor, Bai Mo's fists rained down on Woodwose's face, bang bang bang, the punches flying everywhere, almost disfiguring his face.

Woodwose tried to break free several times, but each time Bai Mo used his strength against him, and he was thrown to the floor again.

On the second floor, Bavan Shi, always eager for a good show, brought out a bucket of popcorn from somewhere and watched the two fight. Meanwhile, Caster stared blankly, remembering how the powerful being who destroyed his homeland was now being beaten on the head.

Unfortunately, the main source of his power is the Lung of the Planet, and similarly, once this area is breached by the opponent, Woodwose's power will be greatly weakened.

The Ryougi Heaven-Imprisoning Enkidu was already capable of binding the opponent's Magnetic Field Power, and now it has also sealed off the most important organ. Woodwose can only exert a maximum of 950,000 horsepower.

If they were at the same cultivation level, it would be asking too much of him to defeat an opponent like Bai Mo.

As Bai Mo's Rapid Bullet Fist rained down on Woodwose's face, Ritsuka's lips twitched as she watched, whispering to Mash:

"Um, strictly speaking, this guy is on our side, right, Brother Bai? Is this a good idea?"

"No problem, Morgan probably told him about Rainach."

"Rainach?"

"Yes, it was the original Lung of the Planet Rainach who acted alongside Ash the Savior. Back then, to persuade that guy, I had a real fight with him, wielding a hammer and smashing the arena before I finally convinced him."

"This is basically a desperate measure, isn't it? What kind of persuasion is this?" Caster was speechless, Ritsuka clapped her hands and said knowingly, "I see, I understand. It is indeed a very direct method."

Ritsuka recalled that many of his friends along the way hadn't become companions on their first meeting; they had basically fought each other before truly establishing a connection.

"Wow... could it be that I'm actually the most normal person in this group?"

Caster watched Ritsuka switch her thoughts so quickly and suddenly realized how little he knew about his companions. He had thought he was the only wild boar, but it turns out they were all wild boars.

And then there's Morgan, who, wielding a hammer, persuaded Rainach, who was also a member of the Lung of the Planet...

Just thinking about that scene made Artoria want to laugh.

Below, while questioning, "Do you submit? Still so arrogant?", he unleashed a barrage of punches, rendering Woodwose speechless. His lungs were controlled, and Rapid Bullet Fist rained down, each strike precisely hitting the vital points on Woodworth's meridians.

"Phew, you bastard... That's enough! Stop! I give up!"

The fist stopped in Woodwose's face, and Bai Mo looked at Woodwose on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you shrug off for? I was the one who got beaten up from start to finish!"

Woodwose stood up, placing his hand on his lungs. He had struggled to break free of the bizarre Ryougi Heaven-Imprisoning Enkidu, which he had just tried with all his might. The sealing of his most powerful organ was unbearable for him.

"Untie me now!"

Woodwose growled, and Bai Mo raised his head slightly. Seeing his expression, Woodwose gritted his teeth, but took a deep breath and then lowered his head, saying:

"I'm sorry... I didn't manage my subordinates well."

And so, Bai Mo unlocked the Ryougi Heaven-Imprisoning Enkidu. Woodwose gave him a deep look, and then the patriarch of the Fang Clan left, angrily dragging several men with broken legs. As soon as he left the restaurant, he found an alley and threw them inside.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to be elegant and courteous in public? What have you done?"

"Sir, we... have received a request from Spriggan. He wants us to capture a few humans for him. You know, humans are a rare commodity in New Darlington these days."

Then, I spotted a lone human...

"So you call the humans who are with the Fairy Knight Tristan 'lone humans'?"

Woodwose's claws have slowly begun to grow.

"Well... sir, it's one thing to say that in front of His Majesty, but now that His Majesty is gone, and we've served as the Queen's Knights, who would respect that vixen?"

"That's true... wait, you can't see that guy?"

"It's just a human being, and we paid for it, a whole bag of Morgan Pound..."

As they spoke, the goblins' voices softened. Woodwose slapped one of the goblins, a former knight of the queen, to pieces, and roared:

"This stuff's practically worthless, and you're still using it to buy humans? No wonder that guy was so angry. You bastards, you've brought shame on me too!"

"My lord, our opponent is just a human; how would we know?"

"A human? Is that even human? You've ever seen a human that strong? That's just a monster in human skin!"

As One Hundred A-Ray of Lung of the Planet, Woodwose is, to some extent, one of the planet's senses. Therefore, he can sense Bai Mo's eeriness more deeply.

He didn't know what it was, but it was definitely not human, and it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

In the language of Pan-Human History, not understanding Bai Mo yet being able to perceive that it is not a life form born from the Root will have a kind of uncanny valley effect on Bai Mo.

Because in their eyes, Bai Mo was a completely unfamiliar creature, possessing terrifying power, and disguised in human form.

Enraged, Woodwose made a mess of the goblins, then exhaled deeply and slapped his head.

"It's out of control again, damn it. First the Calamity, then this monster, and Her Majesty is missing again. The only ones we can rely on are these Queen's Knights... How can we possibly manage Britain with these insects..."

At this point, he recalled Bai Mo's battle and that handshake.

"How can I become like that guy... He's not human, yet he's learned such good manners. I wish I could be like him too."

Back in the restaurant, Bai Mo sat back down in his chair, facing Barghest.

"Your strength truly surprises me; you're even no match for Woodwose."

"That guy's fighting style is too easy to understand. Although his strength and skills are not bad, he combines magic power with Magnetic Field Power. Once the lungs that output magic power are attacked, the Magnetic Field Power will also be affected."

This guy has always been very strong, so strong that he thought he had no rivals and that he could win at will with his strength. This is the consequence of not improving.

Bai Mo waved his hand, then continued, "But after this time, at least this guy shouldn't disobey because of arrogance at crucial moments."

Barghest nodded slightly. Woodwose respected the strong, as did the Fang Clan.

"I'm here also about the auction. During the auction, would you be willing to share a private room with us?"

Bai Mo paused, just about to explain what had happened, when Barghest nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you all then."

"You really don't doubt it at all."

"I have no reason to doubt you, or rather, I have no right to doubt you."

"Still thinking about bringing those fairies along? I told you, those fairies are impossible."

"But... at least let the fairies of Manchester..."

"Then let them prove themselves, let them atone for their sins, just like the Rain Clan and the Mirror Clan did in the past."
