Chapter 65: Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, Arrives!
Inside the Spacious Dojo.
The broth in the hotpot bubbled furiously, and various ingredients rolled in the liquid, releasing tantalizing aromas.
Bang took out two boxes of Wagyu beef and held them over the pot, ready to cook them.
Snow-white marbling was evenly distributed across the bright red meat. It looked tender and juicy, with a perfect ratio of fat to meat—truly impeccable quality.
The moment the main character of the meal appeared, King and Saitama locked onto the two boxes of beef simultaneously.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Bang didn't delay. With a light tap of his finger on the box, the beef slices drifted into the pot.
Time passed quickly. At the eighth second, all three of them looked up at the same time. Their chopsticks shot toward the pot like lightning.
Saitama was the first to grab a piece of beef. Before he could lift it, Bang's chopsticks, carrying the intent of flowing water, lightly tapped Saitama's chopsticks, knocking the beef into the air.
Immediately after, Bang twisted his wrist, deftly catching the falling beef mid-air and placing it into his own bowl.
Damn it!
Saitama's mouth twitched. He had to give up on that target and quickly scanned the rest of the pot.
Just as King picked up a piece of beef floating on the surface, Saitama's chopsticks, carrying chilling momentum, smashed toward him.
Hm? You want to steal it?
Eight Inner Gates: Seventh Gate of Wonder — OPEN!!
Blue steam exploded from King's body instantly. A heavy pressure enveloped the entire dojo, making everyone except Saitama feel a tightness in their chests.
Bang, who was just about to put the beef in his mouth, looked up in shock, completely stunned.
Such terrifying pressure... Is this King's true strength?!
During their earlier spar, Bang had felt that King was holding back, perhaps not even using 50% of his power.
But now, it seemed he had still underestimated the weight of the title "Strongest Man on Earth."
Bang was now certain that King had zero desire to win during their spar; he was purely experiencing the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Because with the power King was displaying right now, if he really wanted to kill Bang, it would probably only take one or two punches.
Feeling the surging power within him, King's eyes narrowed. He manipulated his chopsticks to clash with Saitama's sneak attack.
Compared to when he first transmigrated, his strength had increased significantly, especially with the boost in stats. He could now fully control his own power.
In an instant, the area above the hotpot became their arena.
Chopsticks clashed against chopsticks. Almost every collision created an invisible shockwave. The steaming piece of Wagyu beef bounced back and forth between their chopsticks, never landing in anyone's bowl.
During their duel, Bang tried to grab another piece of beef. But as soon as his chopsticks approached, they were snapped in half by the force of the two younger men's clash.
Bang: "..."
Are young people nowadays all this fierce?
On the other side, seeing the stalemate continue while the remaining beef in the pot cooked longer and longer, losing its tenderness...
I need to think of a way...
King frowned slightly, then a lightbulb went off in his head.
Oh! I got it!
In the next second, King's chopsticks slipped slightly, deliberately revealing an opening.
Seeing this, Saitama didn't suspect a thing. Thinking King had made a mistake in the Great Beef War, he excitedly snatched the beef from the air.
"Haha! You lose, King! I'll be taking this piece of Wagyu!"
Hearing Saitama's cheerful boasting, King remained unmoved. The corner of his mouth curled up in a smile of successful plotting.
He took the bait...
In the very next instant, King's hand holding the chopsticks turned into a blur, rapidly exploring the depths of the pot.
Saitama's eyes widened. He realized what King was doing and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Because at this moment, his chopsticks were still holding a piece of beef. Even if he put it back in his bowl now, he couldn't stop King's rampage.
By the time King finished, his bowl was piled high with steaming Wagyu beef. Only a few lonely pieces remained floating on the surface of the pot.
Saitama: "...."
Bang: "...."
Realizing his base had been stolen, Saitama's face turned a little green. But thankfully, there were still a few pieces left in the pot. He could still eat a couple more.
However, just a second before he dipped his chopsticks into the pot, Bang reached out with a fresh pair of chopsticks carrying the intent of flowing water, preparing to join the scramble.
Saitama: "!!!!"
Damn it! If this goes on, I won't get to eat a single piece!
His simple face instantly became sharp and angular. His gaze turned fierce, and an invisible aura radiated from him.
[Serious Series: Serious Chopsticks]!
Bang only saw a blur. The beef in the pot vanished instantly, almost all of it reappearing in Saitama's bowl. Only the last two slices remained floating in the broth.
Watching the two young men gorging themselves, the martial arts grandmaster finally lost his composure.
Are young people nowadays this forgetful?! Did they forget who paid for these two boxes of Wagyu beef, you bastards!!
City Z Streets.
Passersby only felt a blur zip past on the road, accompanied by a gust of wind, but saw nothing clearly.
On a rooftop, a slender, handsome young man with black hair stood on the edge. His purple scarf fluttered in the wind, and his black bodysuit perfectly accentuated his physique.
A long, slender sword hung at his waist.
Looking in the direction of the dojo, the young man glanced at his crotch, seemingly recalling a painful memory. Veins instantly popped out on his forehead.
"You bastard Saitama! I will kill you! Or I will never avenge this punch!"
Saying this, the young man took a step forward. His body vanished like a ghost, leaving only a barely visible afterimage as he sped into the distance.
Ninja, [Speed-o'-Sound Sonic], arrives!
