His muscles bulged, veins like coiled dragons. He grabbed the webbing stuck to his body and tore it apart with raw strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have power,\" Vincent said, walking through the hole in the wall. \"But you're a slave to your animal instincts. Your attacks are predictable. Full of openings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter's chest was already healing, flesh knitting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your regeneration is impressive,\" Vincent admitted. \"But you're ugly. A monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter roared. His body swelled. His suit ripped apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transformed fully into the Spider-Beast—a grotesque hybrid. Eight organic spider-legs erupted from his back like bone lances. His legs became massive, reptilian, covered in green scales. A thick, armored tail—like a dragon's—lashed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight legs like bone spears,\" Vincent mocked. \"What are you, Tang San with an external soul bone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spider-legs stabbed forward, faster than bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent danced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Illusory Step (from Eight Extremities and Maze Fist fusion) carried him through the storm of attacks. Every strike missed by fractions of an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter's claws extended. His attacks grew faster, more desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vincent was untouchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too slow,\" Vincent laughed, verbally taunting him. \"Too weak.

Every insult fueled his rage, and his rage fueled Vincent's point total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight moved from the yard to the street. Peter's bone-legs punched craters into the asphalt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Vincent stopped retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're tired,\" Vincent observed. \"Now it's my turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed two of Peter's spider-legs and yanked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tore off. Vincent slammed his shoulder into Peter's chest again, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Peter could recover, Vincent grabbed his skull and smashed him into the ground. Once. Twice. Ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your strength is impressive,\" Vincent said, tossing Peter aside like garbage. \"But mine is greater. Your speed is decent. But I'm faster. Your technique is trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter staggered to his feet, six legs broken, two torn off completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're weak,\" Vincent said. \"Pathetically weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.

Kicked him in the groin with a Yin-Strike Kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too. Damn. Weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter collapsed, barely conscious. His regeneration was the only thing keeping him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vincent Hall,\" Peter rasped, his voice distorted. \"Is this... your martial arts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Vincent smiled brightly. \"How does it feel to be beaten to death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter laughed bitterly. \"Your skill is unmatched. But I see your weakness. Your body has limits. You can't get stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot a web to a nearby tree and swung away, retreating into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll make you pay,\" Peter's voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent shrugged. \"Loser.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System Alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission Complete: Martial Arts Beatdown.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Red Blind Box x1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Total Desire Points Earned: +560,000.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent grinned. Beating Peter senseless had been incredibly profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need to kill them,\" Vincent realized. \"I just need to humiliate them repeatedly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abandoned Subway Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter screamed, writhing on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's Hidden Force (暗劲) was tearing him apart from the inside.

He could have killed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we're lucky you have my serum,\" Connors replied. \"Otherwise, you'd be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need a real lab,\" Peter said. \"Oscorp is slipping away. Vincent is buying shares. He's taking over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connors was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need allies,\" Peter said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a backup plan,\" Connors admitted. \"But it's dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More dangerous than the Ice Demon?\" Peter laughed bitterly. \"We're already dead if we stay independent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connors nodded. \"Then I'll contact Hydra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter's eyes widened. \"Hydra?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They offered me a position months ago,\" Connors said. \"A fully equipped lab.
