Chapter 403

Accompanied by a thunderous boom like thunder.

Vast swathes of air were shattered.

The ground cracked and collapsed in large patches forward.

A terrifying shockwave, like a hundred-zhang-high tidal wave, surged outward in all directions!

The attack range was astonishingly vast.

No escape possible.

Tong Di and several other heroes were blown away outright.

When the dust settled.

The area looked as if struck by a meteor, forming a meteor crater, with the monster Wang Dashe standing atop the central rise.

"Is that enough?"

"Just this once."

Luo En did not press further.

Thus.

The eleventh battle began.

A monstrous figure, entirely black and radiating ominous energy, appeared before everyone.

Banggu widened his eyes.

"Ogre?!"

52, Ogre enters the fight

Banggu continued: "You've actually transformed into this monstrous, inhuman form for the sake of power."

Everyone present stared at the monster with shocked, incredulous gazes.

Ogre glanced toward Banggu and said calmly: "Teacher, long time no see!"

Luo En's gaze also turned to the monster. But to Luo En, this was no big deal—he was merely surprised that among these monsters, there was at least a somewhat worthy opponent. So Luo En glanced twice, then looked away.

Seeing the monster, Dragon Wave, riding on the earlier momentum, spoke first: "I'll take him. Ogre, right? Let me see just how hungry you've become."

Dragon Wave spoke with sarcasm. Among the heroes below, some couldn't help laughing.

Ogre glared fiercely and disdainfully at everyone standing there, waiting for his opponent.

Dragon Wave slowly rose into the air, faint green light flickering around her. At that moment, Banggu stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "I'll take him."

Dragon Wave turned her head, glanced at him, and said: "Old man, don't get yourself killed!"

Saying this, Banggu charged at Ogre: "Let's settle everything here."

Then he roared: "Flowing Rock Shattering Fist!" At the same time, Ogre assumed the exact same stance—Banggu immediately recognized his technique.

"So you haven't forgotten," Banggu murmured.

Ogre gave a light laugh: "How could I forget what you taught me, my dear Master?"

With that, their battle officially began!

Luo En was also drawn in by their stance; he sat back, legs crossed, watching like it was a show.

Banggu and Ogre fought using identical techniques; for a while, neither gained clear advantage.

Ogre seemed unwilling to waste more time—he changed his technique, abandoning "Flowing Rock Shattering Fist," and slowly reverted to his own moves.

Soon, Ogre clearly gained absolute dominance, while Banggu appeared increasingly strained.

Ogre showed no mercy whatsoever, deliberately targeting Banggu's weaknesses.

Luo En noticed Banggu seemed to be struggling—intentionally so.

Luo En, who had ignored the fight from the start, now fixed his gaze upon it.

Ogre slid into a low sweep, slipping beneath Banggu, then rose and delivered a palm strike.

Banggu was blasted several meters away, falling to the ground and spitting blood.

Dragon Wave, sensing the danger, stepped forward. She was ready to rush in if Banggu lost.

Seeing Dragon Wave eager to intervene, Luo En decided not to act—he sat back down and watched.

After prolonged combat, Banggu was utterly exhausted; Ogre showed no mercy and hurled him away.

Dragon Wave could no longer watch—she flew over and caught Banggu. Her eyes turned sharp as blades as she stared at Ogre.

Then Dragon Wave slowly rose, faint green light appearing around her—she prepared to face Ogre.

Luo En had been turning a blind eye to the Hero Association, but suddenly someone from the Monster Alliance shouted:

"This is a violation! Don't bully us with your power!"

The Monster Alliance suddenly became champions of the rules, and murmurs of protest erupted everywhere.

As the rule-maker, Luo En had to step forward and uphold the rules—at least a little.

"Cough, cough, cough—this round, the Monster Alliance wins!" Luo En stood and announced it himself.

Upon hearing this, Ogre's smile grew even more contemptuous. He raised his hand and pointed at the now-stopped Dragon Wave: "You. Come up."

Seeing Ogre point at her, Dragon Wave's temper flared instantly—she shot forward with an unstoppable aura.

Luo En didn't want the Hero Association to lose, but said nothing—his silence was tacit approval for Dragon Wave to fight.

Dragon Wave unleashed immediately—a beam of green light shot straight toward Ogre. Ogre raised both hands and blocked the attack with pure internal force.

Now they were locked in a contest of raw strength. Dragon Wave was more impatient, so she quickly applied full power—Ogre was flung back several meters.

Enraged, Ogre glared at Dragon Wave with a vicious, hateful stare.

Dragon Wave didn't know that Ogre was slowly awakening—he had not used much of his true power against her, while Dragon Wave, though strong, had truly exerted herself.

Ogre convulsed, clutching his chest as if in pain—but it wasn't from injury.

He lifted his head—his eyes glowed red. He was nearly complete in his monster transformation.

Long Juan didn't take this seriously; she hadn't realized that E Lang was awakening, so she still walked toward him with confidence.

A flash of red light passed—before Long Juan could even step out of her small pride, E Lang struck her with Flowing Rock Shatter Fist, sending her crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Long Juan exclaimed in shock: "How fast is that speed!"

Even after Long Juan was down, he continued pressing forward, driving her to the brink of death.

Chuixue shouted anxiously from below: "Watch out!"

Luo En had already been disturbed by the commotion here; just as E Lang was about to finish off Long Juan, Luo En instantly teleported beside him and pulled Long Juan away.

Seeing this, Chuixue rushed forward to support her sister, dragging her to the side. Long Juan was now severely injured; she never imagined her carelessness would lead to such a result.

Everyone was astonished, for given Long Juan's strength, she was still immensely powerful—no ordinary person could possibly be her match.

At this point, E Lang had lost his reason; he didn't care who stood before him—he lunged straight at him.

Luo En flashed away, perfectly dodging E Lang's attack, then appeared behind him without even breathing heavily.

"E Lang, you shouldn't be this ruthless—if you are, I'll be even more ruthless," Luo En said calmly, treating him as if he were utterly insignificant.

But E Lang no longer cared who stood before him—he now only wanted to eliminate everyone in sight.

Unfortunately for him, the one standing before him was someone he could never defeat.

Seeing E Lang like this, Luo En knew this was the mark of awakening; to save effort, he'd better knock him down before he fully awakened.

Luo En moved behind E Lang and delivered a straight punch, sending chaos surging through E Lang's body.

53, Mysterious Awakening

E Lang struggled to his feet on the ground, his eyes red as he glared at Luo En. "Pah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.

E Lang sneered: "Hmph, the virtue of a hero is nothing but this? Only using cheap tricks? Ridiculous!"

Luo En's actions had made the scene spiral out of control; below, the Monster Alliance was murmuring that Luo En had broken the rules.

Yet facing this chaos, Luo En showed no fear or panic—he slowly turned to face the crowd and spoke with supreme arrogance: "I know many here resent me, but here, I decide. Since ancient times, the victor is king, the defeated is scum."

While he spoke, E Lang rose behind him and launched an attack.

Though Luo En faced away from E Lang, his awareness of his surroundings was extremely sharp—he had already sensed E Lang behind him.

E Lang swung his fist; Luo En spun around and caught it. Luo En then spoke with the same contemptuous tone E Lang had used earlier: "You're still not my match!"

Though Luo En spoke the truth, E Lang refused to admit defeat—and instead grew even more furious.

E Lang secretly exerted all his strength and wrenched free from Luo En. Even though he had used tremendous force, it only made Luo En stagger back two steps.

Banggu, Chuixue, Long Juan, and the others stood stunned—E Lang had used such force, yet it only made Luo En stumble twice.

E Lang clenched his fists and launched a furious, rapid barrage of strikes at Luo En. Luo En made no counterattack—only defensive motions, dodging each blow again and again.

They were now locked in stalemate.

E Lang fought as if he never tired, relentlessly attacking Luo En. But Luo En was tired of playing with him. So he whispered softly—only audible to himself: "I don't have time to play with you this long. Let's end this."
