Chapter 348

Luo En clenched his right fist, and his massive blood qi surged, forming a spiraling, blazing fist wind around his knuckles.

Luo En wanted to test this punch.

Could his raw physical strength now stand against a Dragon-class monster?

He thrust his fist straight forward.

The air was compressed, squealing shrilly.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle stared at the punch hurtling toward its face, its pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

Its superhuman instinct sensed a suffocating danger.

It would die!

Without hesitation, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle abandoned its frontal assault and leapt upward.

Luo En's fist, condensed with immense blood qi into a single point, fully unleashed.

The air before him shattered like glass.

A blast of compressed air shot straight through the opposite wall.

Boom—

The entire massive wall hundreds of meters away was obliterated!

Cracks spread outward in all directions.

The entire underground space shook violently, raining down boulders.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, wings spread and pressed against the upper wall, looked down at Luo En, cold sweat dripping from its brow.

"So, so dangerous!"

"If I'd moved then, I'd have been erased!"

"This guy… what exactly is he? He looks no different from an ordinary human, yet his body holds such power?! He made me feel such intense danger!"

Shhh!

Luo En used a flash step, appearing before the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle without warning, as if he'd instantly moved.

Before it could react, a fist rapidly expanded before its eyes.

Boom!

Its skull was driven deep into the wall, forming a depression about ten meters wide.

The residual force of the punch exploded again.

Boom!!

From the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle as the center, the entire hundred-meter radius sank inward in a cratered depression!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's entire body was buried deep within the upper wall!

The genius doctor, who had just arrived, stared in stunned disbelief.

"The strongest Asura Rhinoceros Beetle… was just…?!"

"Is that all?"

Luo En landed lightly on the ground and looked up at the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, embedded in the wall: "A bit disappointing."

"That's all? Don't make me laugh!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle struggled to pull its body free from the wall: "No one in this world is stronger than me—let you see my ultimate form!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle landed on the ground, smashing a deep crater, then stomped hard, its muscles bulging, veins swelling, its massive body growing even larger, its head horn protruding further, its skin covered in strange green-and-purple patterns, eyes blazing crimson, aura wildly turbulent.

Asura Mode!!

The genius doctor, witnessing this, turned pale with horror.

"Stop! Stop!"

"It's too late—I'll erase this guy, then go on a rampage and slaughter in the town!"

"Ooooh!!"

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, in berserk mode, its combat instinct burning, lost all reason, stomped the ground hard, and charged at Luo En, punching straight at him.

Luo En was punched flying, his body hurtling like a meteor.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle strode forward, leapt high, and punched again, smashing Luo En from midair into the ground.

"Oooohhh!"

Its form flickered like a phantom, appearing around Luo En, laughing grotesquely as it battered him like a punching bag.

"This is amazing!!"

After smashing Luo En into the ground like a meteor, the berserk Asura Rhinoceros Beetle brought its massive body down with astonishing speed, stomping again.

The ground within a hundred-meter radius erupted outward with a violent shockwave.

Devastating power.

"This ends now!"

The berserk Asura Rhinoceros Beetle brought its fist crashing down toward Luo En, buried deep in the crater.

The genius doctor swallowed hard, trembling: "It's over. No one can stop it now."

A black fist emerged from the crater, colliding with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's full-power downward punch.

Boom!

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's entire right half exploded, spraying blood like rain.

"!!"

The genius doctor's eyes widened in horror.

"How is this possible?!"

"Huh?"

The deranged Asura Rhinoceros Beetle stared at its vanished right half, still unaware of what had happened.

A figure picked up the baseball cap from the ground and rose from the deep crater.

"Is that so… This is the power of a Dragon Mid? I understand now."

The dust cleared.

Luo En, spotless and pristine, appeared before him.

The genius doctor gaped, staring at him in stunned silence.

Such an attack from the rampaging Asura Rhinoceros Beetle… didn't even scratch him?!

This… this is impossible!

Luo En brushed the dust off his baseball cap, put it on, and glanced sidelong at the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, barely clinging to life.

"Strongest? Don't make me laugh. Your power only brings disappointment."

After speaking those words, a brilliant light flashed and vanished in Luo En's azure eyes.

An invisible, terrifying repulsive force erupted, crushing the half-dead Asura Rhinoceros Beetle like a mosquito.

Having done this,

Luo En glanced at the genius doctor by the door, then stepped forward and vanished from the spot, beneath the man's terrified gaze.

The genius doctor stood frozen, unable to recover his wits for a long time.

"My research… I suppose it must end here."

4, Supreme Great Sword Saint

After leaving the Evolution House, Luo En walked through the mountain forest.

"Right now, my raw physical strength alone surpasses Dragon Low but falls short of Dragon Mid; yet with Armament Haki, I can easily exceed Dragon Mid."

"I wonder how my body's strength, boosted by Level 8 Armament Haki, would compare to Dragon High?"

As for Dragon Peak, or the power of quasi-divine or divine-level monsters, Luo En didn't even need to consider it—Armament Haki alone could never reach such heights.

"By the way, I still have Evolution Points to spend."

Luo En remembered this.

He stopped walking and stared at the glowing screen before him, filled with his stats, pondering.

"I won't consider Fruit Abilities or the three types of Haki—I need something that will drastically boost my current strength…"

"Shunpo doesn't need improvement."

"Devil's Essence is good—raising it to 100% should let me unleash Mokō Bōtokumo, the technique that freezes time and space."

"Level 3's Ultimate Bomb Kick is also solid; if upgraded to Level 4, its destructive power should double."

"But if I'm to judge which has the greatest potential for improvement right now…"
