In the massive crater of Z City, countless people huddled in the corners, no longer displaying their earlier eagerness to watch.
At the center, two figures were constantly clashing, their every exchange causing the ground beneath them to tremble slightly, sinking a little with each impact.
Bang Gu's expression was filled with undisguised shock; Bai Ye's rate of improvement far exceeded his expectations.
He watched as his opponent's Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist became increasingly proficient at a visible rate, continuously refining the technique with each punch and counter-punch.
Techniques which would take others months to master were understood and perfected after a single exchange, their skill level almost matching his own.
'40%…35%…32%…27%…24%…'
Bai Ye's expression was calm. Each punch combined both power and technique, and with each strike, the proportion of power was steadily decreasing.
His physical stats hadn't improved much, but his mastery of the Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist was steadily increasing.
In just a few seconds, he could parry Bang Gu's full-power attacks using less than 20% of his own strength, relying more on the power of the world around them. It was somewhat similar to his own stance.
Easily handling Bang Gu's attacks, Bai Ye's lips curled into a smile: 'Technique, it's amazing!'
At this moment, Bai Ye treated Bang Gu like an experience point dispenser.
As time passed, their battle was no longer evenly matched.
Instead, Bai Ye anticipated his opponent, predicting the moves Bang Gu was about to make before he even launched them. He intercepted them at the point of attack, beginning to completely suppress Bang Gu, making him incredibly uncomfortable.
'He's using my moves!' Bang Gu felt bitter, but there were no copyrights on techniques. Whoever used them was the one who benefited.
Finally, after spending dozens of seconds completely absorbing most of Bang Gu's lifetime of experience, Bai Ye decided to stop.
Watching Bang Gu's right fist, which he had put all his strength into, Bai Ye lightly pinched forward with his index finger and thumb. Using less than 1% of his strength, he completely stopped the attack.
Bang Gu's physical fitness was far inferior to Bai Ye's, relying entirely on the "Immortal Technique" Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist. However, Bai Ye easily mastered this move in less than a minute.
Now, his right fist was pinched between two fingers, and no matter how hard Bang Gu tried, he couldn't pull it out.
"You're out of date, old man," Bai Ye said with a smile, gently extending his right hand and using a technique to flick Bang Gu's forehead.
In an instant, Bang Gu's body slid through the air in a straight line, piercing the rock wall behind him and flying out thousands of meters.
"Done," Bai Ye lightly clapped his hands, as if brushing off non-existent dust, then gently leaped out of the deep pit, leaving the onlookers trapped inside.
Several minutes later, the Hero Association's high-level officials listened to the reports from their subordinates, their faces grim. "We just received news that the third-ranked Silver Fang, Mr. Bang Gu, has been defeated by Kexing Ren."
One of the high-level officials, thinking of the requests from those Reincarnators, asked, "Should we agree to their request for the S-Class Heroes? To put Kexing Ren on the Hero Association's wanted list?"
"Or, maybe… maybe we should just pretend nothing happened," another high-ranking member of the Hero Association said, looking at the satellite image showing the collapsed terrain in the center of Z City, caused by Bai Ye's attack.
"No, we have Tatsumaki, we have Blast, we have KING. We can't back down at the first sign of trouble," a slightly more assertive member countered.
The other high-ranking members nodded in agreement, "That's right. Although we can rarely get in touch with Blast, we still have Miss Tatsumaki. She's ranked second, after all."
"Then quickly call Miss Tatsumaki. Even Silver Fang was defeated. I think she'll definitely take this matter seriously."
As these high-ranking members were discussing, the entire building suddenly shook violently.
"What's happening? Who's attacking the headquarters?"
At this moment, the high-ranking members who had previously been quite assertive were now nervously holding onto the surrounding walls.
They knew that the Hero Association headquarters in A City had a defense level far exceeding ordinary shelters to deal with threats.
Even a Demon Level monster couldn't easily cause damage, yet the building was shaking so violently, as if it had been hit by a major earthquake.
And just then, in this completely sealed, dark meeting room, a beam of light shot in, followed by increasingly intense light.
The powerful light made everyone squint instinctively. They then realized that the entire ceiling had been torn away at some point.
A figure stood on the broken wall, one hand holding up the ripped-off upper part of the Hero Association building, as if separating the heavens and the earth.
The person was Bai Ye. His current image was somewhat like Atlas in mythology, supporting the heavens and the earth, as his gaze swept over the association's high-level executives in front of him.
Looking at these people's frail bodies, out-of-shape physiques, and fearful eyes, a gentle smile curled at the corners of Bai Ye's mouth.
"Kexing Ren, you… what do you want?" a high-ranking executive answered tremblingly.
"I… I should be asking what you want, right? Who gave you the guts to put a bounty on me?" Bai Ye sneered.
"How dare you! I advise you to behave yourself now, or you won't have a good time when King, Tatsumaki, and Blast come." One executive, fueled by fear, became indignant.
"Kexing Ren, let's talk this over. I know you're strong, we can negotiate," one of the higher-ups attempted to negotiate.
But Bai Ye didn't bother wasting his breath on these people. A stream of saliva, compressed by the muscles of his mouth, shot out like a water sword.
The sharp water cannon directly blasted the brains of a Hero Association higher-up standing in front of him, someone Bai Ye found displeasing and also the ugliest person present.
"Aaaaaah!"
Screams erupted as people watched the death of the person beside them, while Bai Ye coldly stared at their ugly displays under the pressure of life and death.
The reason he wouldn't feel troubled by killing the Prisoner was due to the ridiculous power structure of this world!
These Hero Association higher-ups, despite being weak, could constantly command the strong, squandering the most resources within the Association with their weakest abilities.
Most of the resources donated to the Association by the people ended up in the pockets of these people, while most of the grassroots workers were more righteous than these fat, complacent guys.
What right do these pig-headed fools have to lord over heroes when they possess neither violence nor a belief in justice?
"The old hero game is over. You lot of trash, although this game will continue, the rules will be according to my vision," Bai Ye said coldly.
As he spoke, the situation here was already known to the countless heroes on standby at headquarters, and a large number of heroes were rushing towards the roof.
