Chapter 1245

Qi Yu: "Since the crisis is over, how about a tournament match? I just discovered the arena feature—it lets everyone fight without getting hurt."

Su Xiao: "You just found out?"

Qi Yu: "I was busy exchanging points earlier."

Su Xiao: "Fine, looks like he only starts trouble after eating his fill. Who wants to fight Qi Yu?"

Sun Wukong: "I checked his profile—his strength isn't that impressive. I'm nearly a Jin Xian; I have no interest in fighting him."

Qitian Dasheng: "Same here. Fighting him would be bullying."

Li Hua Zou: "My strength is too weak—I can't beat him yet."

Yun Princess: "Same here."

Hu Yifei: "In the chat group, everyone's either too weak or too strong—no one's close to Qi Yu's level."

An Lietta: "Indeed, it seems Qi Yu Mr. can't fully fight anyone in the chat group."

Zhang Taixuan: "No, the arena has a realm restriction feature—you can limit your realm before fighting."

Su Xiao: "That's unfair. I'm a Tian Xian—I can use all my divine arts. Once my realm is restricted, most of them won't work."

Xiong Ba: "I'll fight! Qi Yu Mr., is this a point-bet duel or a friendly sparring?"

Qi Yu: "Whatever you like!"

Xiong Ba: "Let's make it friendly sparring—I don't need the points anyway."

Yue Buqun: "Oh? Xiong Boss wants to spar? Looking forward to his fall."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Hahaha, you guys really are 630 iron brothers!"

Su Xiao: "Hehe, I'm also looking forward to Xiong Boss falling."

Xiong Ba: "You all—three days apart, you must look at me anew. I'm not the same man I was!"

Hu Yifei: "Don't boast too much—if you fall, it'll be embarrassing."

Xiong Ba: "You don't trust me? I'm a long-time member—do you think my strength is weak?"

【Ding,

Xiong Ba and Qi Yu have opened the arena—come watch!】

【Ding, Xiong Ba and Qi Yu have restricted their power to the same realm—who will win?

Stay tuned!】

【Ding, Su Xiao has entered arena spectator mode.】

【Ding, Yue Buqun has entered arena spectator mode!】

【..】

The arena remained an endless grassland, where a powerful, muscular young man faced a bald man with a dull gaze.

Without any introduction, everyone naturally knew the bald man was Qi Yu.

Jin Chan: "What a shiny head—born to be a Monk."

Fa Hai: "Even shinier than mine!"

Su Xiao: "You're jealous of a bald head? Fa Hai Master, are you okay?"

Fa Hai: "You don't understand."

Su Xiao: "No, I understand perfectly. Aren't you aiming to become the World Honored One? Even the World Honored One isn't bald—he's got a head full of bumps."

As they spoke, the two on the arena moved.

Both were masters among masters; as soon as they moved, they became two streaks of light.

Xiong Ba wore black robes, like a black streak slicing through the void.

Qi Yu wore his yellow cloak, like a yellow streak crashing forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their fists struck flesh repeatedly, exchanging countless blows—each punch echoed like thunder, shattering distant mountains.

"Thrilling! Thrilling!"

Qi Yu's voice rang with excitement.

This was his first time unleashing his full strength in a truly satisfying fight.

On Earth, he was never fully satisfied.

After all, Earth was too fragile—if he went all out, Earth itself couldn't hold up.

Even if Earth could hold up, the cities couldn't.

He didn't want to become a world-destroying monster!

"Incredible strength!" Xiong Ba marveled. "No wonder you're the one who unlocked the human restriction device!"

Though his power hadn't yet reached the immortal level, it was still formidable.

At least, within the same realm, he was no weakling.

Using each other's force, they fought all the way to the horizon, unleashing endless cloud explosions as if the heavens themselves would collapse.

This wasn't flight—it was pure physical strength.

"I'm getting serious!"

Qi Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Catch my serious punch!"

"Fine!"

Xiong Ba refused to yield. "Then take my divine art!"

After fighting so long, Xiong Ba had figured out Qi Yu's fighting style and strength.

Ordinary martial arts were useless in battle—his hard fists were the best martial art, the best weapon. Only the deadliest techniques from martial arts manuals, and divine arts, could suppress him at the same realm.

and abilities, allowing one to suppress opponents within the same realm.

"Qilin Seal!"

With a single thought from Xiong Ba, the next moment, a great seal materialized, woven with ten thousand strands of laws upon it.

Although his strength was restricted and he could not unleash world-destroying might, it was still extraordinary.

The next moment, Saitama's fist collided with the Qilin Seal.

Bang!

The figure was smashed into nothingness by the seal in a single strike.

Su Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Saitama-sensei lost just like that?"

Nan Xiaoniao/Wu: "That's pretty normal, right? That was a divine ability. At the same realm, the might of a divine ability is unimaginable."

Just as they were speaking, Saitama's figure reappeared on the arena.

Even in defeat, he was not the slightest bit discouraged; his originally blank gaze instead burned with blazing flames.

"We'll fight again next time!"

Xiong Ba laughed heartily: "Good. Fighting you was exhilarating too — that feeling of fist meeting flesh was simply too thrilling!"

Saitama laughed: "Same here.

The next moment, the arena vanished, and everyone returned to their respective worlds.

Chat group.

Su Xiaoxiao: "The limiter doesn't seem that amazing after all!"

Zhang Taixuan: "What are you saying? Saitama has only been cultivating for how long, yet he already has such powerful strength! It's obvious the limiter is an extremely powerful cultivation method."

Su Xiaoxiao: "But the limiter should have an upper limit, right? I remember the limiter is a kind of protective mechanism of the human body. Once released, even an ordinary person would become as strong as a strongman.

In the real world, people who unlock their limiter generally don't live long, because the muscles, bones, and internal organs simply can't withstand the power they unleash. In the One-Punch Man

world, even if we stretch things a bit, the limiter is just a divine ability related to the physical body, right?"

Zhang Taixuan: "What you say has some merit. But who told you the limiter is only a physical-body divine ability?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Isn't it? The limiter in reality works exactly like that.

Hu Yifei: "Su Xiaoxiao, you're at it again — using a sword from the previous dynasty to behead an official of the current one. You're taking the limiter from an ordinary world and applying it to the One-Punch Man world's limiter — that's clearly off.

Ah."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Is that so? Could it be that in Saitama-sensei's world, the limiter isn't simply a physical-body-type divine ability?"

Zhang Taixuan: "A physical-body limiter is only the limiter in the narrow sense. The limiter in the broad sense includes far more than just the physical body — it encompasses essence, qi, and spirit."

Su Xiaoxiao: "It includes essence, qi, and spirit? How so? Looking at Saitama-sensei, he seems so blank — he doesn't look at all like someone who's unlocked a soul limiter. After all, if the soul increases, shouldn't

wisdom increase too!
