Chapter 99: Giant Attack! I'm from the Hidden Leaf Village!

Soul Palace.

The Chu Yangs from various worlds gathered again to share their experiences during this period.

The latest Chu Yang to join this group came from the One Punch Man world.

Jujutsu Chu Yang patted One Punch Chu Yang on the shoulder and said earnestly: "The life of a corporate slave is not easy, right?"

One Punch Chu Yang nodded in agreement.

The two, who had been corporate slaves in their respective worlds, couldn't help but sympathize with each other.

Naruto Chu Yang successfully completed the extraction of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline factors, evolving Sage Mode into Six Paths Sage Mode.

And the one who benefited the most was actually Bleach Chu Yang.

"I feel that the Zanpakuto belonging to me is about to be born. It is the power of Yin-Yang Release that catalyzed their transformation ahead of schedule."

Bleach Chu Yang said so.

"Them? Two Zanpakuto? This is rare in the Bleach world..."

Magic Chu Yang said in surprise.

Among the known dual-blade owners among the Bleach captains, there were only two, who were the two most proud disciples of Head Captain Yamamoto—Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake.

Shunsui Kyoraku was also the future Head Captain of the Gotei 13.

"I am looking forward to the day the Zanpakuto takes shape. What do you think the Zanpakuto that fits our soul characteristics will look like?"

Demon Slayer Chu Yang looked around excitedly, asking for his companions' thoughts. His world only had two things left—sword techniques and breathing methods, so he attached great importance to the birth of the Zanpakuto.

Ordinary swords couldn't carry the full power of Source Breathing, even the wooden swords Chu Yang made with Wood Release were the same.

The First Form: Sun and Moon Rotation performed by Marvel Chu Yang against the Destroyer, and the Second Form: Sun and Moon Same Light used by Jujutsu Chu Yang when killing thousands of Cursed Spirits, were all discounted in power.

Perhaps only a Zanpakuto could perform the Source Breathing sword technique with 100% power.

Everyone discussed it, but couldn't come to a unified answer.

Amidst the noise, Demon Slayer Chu Yang walked to the side of Wuxia Chu Yang and said: "Can you collect some sword techniques on the way to Mongolia? The sword techniques of the One Piece world and the Demon Slayer world are too rough, and creating two sword techniques is the limit."

Wuxia Chu Yang nodded, indicating he understood. Although in terms of power level, the wuxia world was lower than most worlds, in terms of profound concepts like "Law" and "Dao," it was at a crushing level.

If Source Breathing wanted to continue to go higher, it had to absorb these profound martial arts concepts.

The breathing method itself was derived from the art of breathing.

After many days, Marvel Chu Yang had learned a lot of magic in Asgard. After this sharing, Magic Chu Yang gained a lot of inspiration, and his ability to cast spells without a wand went to a higher level.

He could cast the three Unforgivable Curses without any effort.

Once Marvel Chu Yang returned to Earth, he could use the Imperius Curse to reverse-infiltrate the Hydra organization and get two of the Infinity Stones.

A moment later, the fog appeared, bringing everyone back to their own worlds.

One Punch Man world.

The moth monster bypassed the fallen Chu Yang and walked slowly toward the location where the mother and son fled. For it, the human whose life had come to an end no longer had the fun of teasing.

"Hahaha, these days any cat or dog wants to be a hero, it's really annoying. It's all because of that strange organization called the Hero Association."

The moth monster thought of the Hero Association that was established not long ago, and its expression was very disdainful.

So far, none of the guys who called themselves heroes it met could survive under its attack, and there were many who were scared out of their wits, performing worse than the man just now.

"How should I play with that mother and son when I find them later? The mother seems to be injured. Otherwise, I'll just force her to run away. As long as she stops, I'll kill her son, hahaha! Her expression must be very interesting!"

The moth monster laughed loudly, and thinking of the young man who didn't know his own strength just now, it subconsciously looked back.

It was this look that made it stop and look dazed.

The young man who should have died stood up from the pool of blood, patting the dust off his body, and the hideous wounds on his skin were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What's going on... Is this guy really not an ordinary person?"

The moth monster had a bad premonition, but still made a mocking sound: "Hey, you're quite tough. Could it be that you're really a hero? However, I've killed quite a few heroes like you, nothing special."

No matter what it said, the young man in front of him didn't seem to take it to heart, but was focused on doing some common warm-up exercises, as if he was adapting to his body.

The overly exaggerated physical ability made Chu Yang, who was an ordinary person a second ago, not very easy to adapt to.

"I'm talking to you, did you hear me! You damn guy!"

The moth monster was furious. It was used to the fearful screams of humans and couldn't stand someone standing in front of it so calmly. This was a great humiliation to its self-esteem.

"I've been hearing strange noises since just now. I thought it was a mosquito buzzing, but I didn't expect it to be you..."

Chu Yang glanced at it lazily.

"Mosquito? I hate mosquitoes the most in my life!"

The moth monster fell into a state of rage. Chu Yang's words hit its dead spot perfectly.

The wings on its back unfolded, and after flapping once, the moth monster's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. As a Demon-level monster with flight ability, its speed was comparable to some Dragon-level monsters!

In the high-speed state, the moth monster opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, aiming at Chu Yang's weak neck.

The moment the fangs were about to touch Chu Yang's skin, they were clamped by two slender fingers, and the terrifying impact exploded at this moment.

"Clearly just a moth, but your teeth are quite good."

Chu Yang broke the moth monster's fangs with force, and then punched it in the face. The explosive power directly blasted it away.

It hit more than a dozen cars and a house, and dust filled the sky.

Compared to the impact of Chu Yang being thrown out before, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

The moth monster crawled out of the ruins.

Most of the wings on its back were damaged, the armor on its body, which was as hard as steel, was pitted, and it was covered in blood.

At this time, the look it looked at Chu Yang with was only fear and deep dread.

"I am not a monster that specializes in power. Winning against me in this regard is nothing to be proud of." The moth monster sneered: "Human, you will pay the price for angering me."

After speaking, the moth monster flew directly into the sky.

The reason it was rated as a Demon-level monster was because it could spread poisonous scale powder through wing vibration.

This poisonous scale powder was very toxic, had a large spread, and could poison everyone in the city in an instant.

"Idiot! You and those ordinary people be poisoned to death together!"

The moth monster laughed wildly and sprinkled poisonous powder toward the ground.

"A moth is a moth, and the attack method has no new ideas."

Chu Yang sneered and summoned shadow clones, occupied the high points of the city, and then performed ninjutsu while forming seals at the same time.

"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Several fire waves gathered together to form a terrifying sea of fire, rolling up into the sky. Those poisonous powders turned into ashes under the scouring of the sea of fire.

The moth monster looked terrified and flapped its wings with all its strength to fly high, but it still couldn't escape the engulfment of the sea of fire.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Amidst the shrill screams, the moth monster ignited with scorching flames, and the poisonous powder on its body became the best combustion aid. The fire burned more and more vigorously until it couldn't make a sound at all.

In a corner of the city, a mother and son who were fleeing stopped.

"Mom, that big brother is a hero, right? He saved us!"

"Yes, child, he is!"

"Emergency bulletin!"

"Emergency bulletin!"

"The danger in D City has been lifted!"

"The Demon-level monster wandering in the city has been eliminated!"

"D City residents can return to the city and resume normal life!"

The emergency news on TV appeared again.

The person on the screen was still the news anchor who notified everyone to leave this morning, but the content was different.

He excitedly told the public the good news, with a lingering fear in his words.

The emergency broadcast news clearly spread to every corner of the city through the radio. The fleeing crowd stopped on the road and listened quietly.

Surviving the disaster made many people show relieved smiles.

Some people also squatted on the ground and cried.

"Did a hero come so quickly?"

"Those guys are usually dawdling, I didn't expect them to come so timely this time."

"What are you talking about, they protected us!"

"Huh? I remember they are all on the Hero Association's payroll. Everyone is working for money, what protection or not..."

"Even so, you don't have to say such things, right?"

A big argument broke out in the crowd. Regarding the fact that they were protected, some people were grateful, and some felt it was taken for granted.

The content of the argument was something to be seen. In fact, every time a city encountered a monster attack, similar voices could be heard more or less afterward.

If Chu Yang were here, he would probably laugh it off. What he wanted to protect was never these people, but the kindness left in his heart by the girl who passed away.

The Demon-level monster was quickly eliminated, causing many A-level heroes who intended to support D City to return without success, which also attracted the attention of the A City Hero Association headquarters.

After confirming that it was not done by a registered hero, the Hero Association immediately sent people to D City to investigate.

Chu Yang and the moth monster's battle did not affect the nearby infrastructure, so they easily obtained the surveillance footage of the road and saw the whole process of the battle.

About two days later, someone knocked on Chu Yang's door.

Chu Yang opened the door, and outside stood a middle-aged man in a suit.

"Hello, Mr. Chu Yang, my name is Foster, from the Hero Association."

The man named Foster introduced himself politely, while also looking at Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's image was more ordinary than he imagined.

Like a neighbor's young man who had just entered society.

"Your speed is quite fast."

"Of course, eliminating a Demon-level monster is not a small matter."

"But it's only Demon-level."

"Hahaha, Mr. Chu Yang is too humble. I have seen your battle, the enemy had no power to fight back, and you won neatly."

Chu Yang smiled: "Then you must not have seen the first half, I was beaten very miserably."

Foster replied solemnly: "That just proves your potential. It is very rare for a genius like you who has just awakened your ability to defeat a Demon-level monster."

Chu Yang nodded noncommittally, then invited Foster into the house, and the two chatted on the sofa for a while.

Foster explained his purpose, he was here to invite Chu Yang to join the Hero Association.

"If I join the association, do I need to start as a C-level hero?"

"How could that be, Mr. Chu Yang? You single-handedly eliminated a Demon-level monster. The association is prepared to rate you as A-level, but the ranking will be relatively low."

Chu Yang considered it for a while and intended to agree, but before that, he made a request: "I don't want to leave D City in a short time. If you want me to do tasks, it's best to be around D City, otherwise I might not be able to execute them."

One day in the future, the Giant Brothers would pass by here and destroy this city. If Chu Yang couldn't stop this, then everything he did today would have no meaning.

And next to D City is Z City, which is the city where Saitama-sensei is located.

Chu Yang would eventually come into contact with the other party.

The biggest attraction of this world to him is to figure out how to break his own limiter.

Hearing Chu Yang's request, Foster scratched his head awkwardly, he was in a dilemma.

According to the regulations, heroes below S-level must unconditionally obey the association's distribution. Chu Yang is only A-level, and at the end of the level, it is difficult for him to agree to the other party.

But the potential Chu Yang showed was extraordinary, which made Foster not want to give up on the other party easily.

"Mr. Chu Yang, please wait a moment, I need to ask the headquarters for their opinion."

Foster stood up and walked to the balcony with a smirk, taking out his phone.

Chu Yang nodded, signaling him to go ahead.

After a while, Foster, who had finished the call, walked back, saying with full regret: "Sorry, Mr. Chu Yang, the headquarters did not agree to your request."

"In fact, we originally wanted to invite you to move into the Hero Association headquarters. There are many big shots there who need personal bodyguards, and the remuneration given is very rich..."

Chu Yang waved his hand to interrupt Foster: "Let's stop here, Mr. Foster, I'm sorry."

Foster wanted to say something but stopped, finally sighed helplessly, and got up to leave.

He really felt it was a pity.

This young man always gave him a sense of security as stable as Mount Tai, even stronger than any S-level hero he had ever seen.

Failing to reach a consensus, Chu Yang didn't feel it was a pity. Anyway, his original intention for joining the Hero Association was just to have one more opportunity to contact Saitama.

Money or reputation, these were not things Chu Yang wanted to pursue.

Breaking the limiter was the only goal.

Night.

The whole city became extremely quiet, like a giant falling asleep quietly.

Chu Yang's figure appeared around the city. He was setting up a barrier, wanting to shroud the entire D City inside.

The barrier could be activated the moment the city was subjected to a devastating blow, blocking most of the damage.

In this way, the damage to the city from the battle aftermath between Chu Yang and the "Giant" Marugori could be minimized.

Half a month later.

The "Giant" Marugori appeared in D City.

The huge body towering into the clouds was extremely oppressive, and the area above the chest was completely obscured by clouds.

Stepping down, a terrifying air wave would be set off around.

The Hero Association rated it as a Demon-level monster, which was very stupid. Its true strength was undoubtedly above Demon-level, but Saitama was too strong and killed it in one punch, making Marugori look like a weakling.

Under the emergency bulletin, people began to flee the city in a panic again. Many people saw Marugori's huge body and were so scared that they couldn't even walk.

Marugori waved his hand, and the terrifying wind pressure directly destroyed a forest around the city.

Many people saw this scene through TV news broadcasts.

How can we escape the attack of such a behemoth?

The citizens looked dazed.

Desperate emotions were gradually spreading.

"Escaping like this will also lead to death!"

"Didn't you see it?"

"That giant just clapped his hands, and the whole forest disappeared!"

"Instead of desperately squeezing out, it's better to wait for death honestly..."

Someone in the crowd shouted hysterically, and they had already collapsed.

"Where are the heroes? Where are they?"

"Please save me, I won't speak ill of you anymore!"

Some were angry, some were begging, some were sad, some were laughing wildly.

Between life and death, all kinds of sentient beings appeared one by one.

Chu Yang, standing on the top of a high building, watched this scene silently.

The "Giant" walked slowly toward this side. Its goal was actually not D City, just passing by, but this city was blocking its path forward, very annoying.

Marugori raised his arm high, his expression indifferent, as if the demon god responsible for judging the sins of all living beings at the moment of the end of the world.

It waved its arm forcefully, and the wind pressure caused by the terrifying power even caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.

The gale did not destroy the city as Marugori imagined.

Instead, the moment it approached the city, it was blocked by an inexplicable force.

Four purple barriers lit up around D City.

Then the barriers closed, firmly protecting it inside.

Four Violet Flames Formation!

The citizens looked up blankly, only to find that there were solid ramparts formed by purple flames all around.

"What is this?"

The scientist Fukegao, standing on Marugori's shoulder, pushed his glasses.

Marugori and Fukegao are brothers.

The younger brother Marugori drank the ultimate steroid preparation made by his older brother Fukegao, which is why he became a super giant.

While becoming bigger and stronger, his intelligence also dropped significantly. Now the "Giant" Marugori is not much different from a mentally retarded person.

"Brother, purple wall!"

"Whether it's a wall or something else, as long as it blocks our way, clear it all, Marugori!"

"Got it, brother."

Marugori walked toward D City, his weight of tens of thousands of tons stepping on the earth, and every step caused a vibration like a magnitude 7 earthquake.

Countless citizens squatted on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Fukegao looked down at the ground coldly, the corners of his mouth raised. At this moment, he seemed to be the master of the world.

In the distance, a small black dot was approaching quickly.

Fukegao restrained his smile and said impatiently: "It's those guys who call themselves heroes again, one after another coming to die, like mosquitoes, Marugori, kill him."

"Okay, brother."

Marugori stared at the small black dot. When the other party approached, he punched out suddenly. The fist wind tore the space in front of him, forming a bigger storm.

Chu Yang swayed in the gale, and the barrier behind him began to flicker. He realized that if he fought near here, the Four Violet Flames Formation would eventually be destroyed.

The next moment.

Chu Yang began to form seals.

A huge wooden man broke through the ground.

Ten meters! One hundred meters!

One thousand meters!

Ten thousand meters!

In the blink of an eye, the wooden man's size was equivalent to the "Giant" Marugori.

In addition, there was a wooden dragon winding around the wooden man's waist.

The dragon head was high, staring at the giant with cold eyes.

Chu Yang stood on the wooden man's shoulder, looking at Fukegao from afar.

"Something with a false appearance, how can it be compared with Marugori?"

Fukegao sneered: "Smash him for me, Marugori!"

The giant roared and rushed toward the wooden man, his rough attack method like a beast.

The wooden man reached out and grabbed the giant's mouth. The roar stopped abruptly, and then a hook punch hit the giant's chin.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Marugori was beaten back by the heavy fist, his whole body leaned backward, almost falling, and he stood firm with difficulty.

Fukegao didn't have such good luck, staggering and sliding off Marugori's shoulder, falling from a height of ten thousand meters.

"Marugori!!!"

Fukegao shouted his brother's name in horror. The giant looked down slowly, only to find that his brother had fallen.

"Brother!!!"

Marugori reached out to grab Fukegao excitedly.

"No!!!"

Fukegao seemed to realize something and let out a shrill scream.

Slap! A mass of blood exploded in Marugori's palm. When he opened his hand, there was no figure of his brother, only a pile of flesh and blood residue.

Chu Yang sighed: "The ending of history is always surprisingly similar..."

Marugori froze for a while, looked up to the sky and roared, grieving: "Brother!!!"

The brother-controlled giant fell into extreme rage! The wooden man in front of him was regarded as the culprit, and his scarlet eyes locked onto him.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Marugori ran wildly, and there was a shaking of the earth around.

Seeing this, Chu Yang controlled the wooden man's body to squat down, and in the posture of sumo wrestling, met the enemy's wild collision.

Boom! Two behemoths collided heavily, and the air wave set off by the shock wave blew away the helicopters broadcasting in real-time at high altitude nearby.

Of the five helicopters, only one remained after the storm.

The LED screen in the center of D City relied on the only remaining helicopter and was broadcasting this scene in real-time. Countless citizens were watching with bated breath.

The Four Violet Flames Formation blocked the storm again, but the barrier dimmed a lot, obviously unable to block the next attack.

"I have to get this guy further away..."

Chu Yang muttered.

The wooden man under him responded at the same time, his power erupted completely, pushing Marugori forward constantly.

The position of the two sides' wrestling left gullies like abysses.

"You bastard!!!"

Marugori gritted his teeth, his whole body's veins burst, and he squeezed out all his strength, which barely stabilized his figure.

He wanted to fight back.

Who knew that the wooden man opposite him had taken action first. After he reacted, he found that his arms had been clamped by the other party.

The small black dot standing on the wooden man's shoulder had dazzling blue lightning all over his body.

Marugori suddenly felt a chill all over, his heart palpitations were severe, and an unspeakable fear spread in his heart.

"Let go of me!"

Marugori struggled wildly, trying to escape, space and ground were shaking everywhere! Lightning Armor, Source Breathing, Armament Haki, etc., except for Sage Mode, Chu Yang stacked all the BUFFs that could be stacked. Finally, he had two wooden swords in his hands, one blooming with dazzling sunlight and one flowing with bright moonlight.

"Although it's not full power, it's about 60-70%, which is enough to look up to you." Chu Yang smiled, jumped, and turned into a brilliant streamer, shooting out.

The dazzling light pierced Marugori's heart directly. His chest was like being pierced by a cannonball, and it exploded!

Blood poured down like a torrent!

Marugori shouted a few times hysterically, his breath getting weaker and weaker. The wooden man picked him up and threw him aside like garbage.

Chu Yang returned to the wooden man's shoulder and sat down. The picture on the LED screen froze on his indifferent face.

And this face was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in D City.

Foster, who was far away in A City, saw the news and confirmed the fact that Chu Yang had infinite potential, so he couldn't wait to find his immediate supervisor.

"Believe me, he will definitely become an S-level hero. Giving him some privileges in advance is no problem at all."

"Foster, that giant is not as powerful as you think. According to the investigation, it's just a human who mutated due to drugs."

"But... Chu Yang also showed overwhelming strength. This is the second Demon-level monster he defeated. He only awakened not long ago!"

The supervisor seemed to be moved, suddenly fell silent, and after thinking for a while, he sighed: "Foster, I'll believe you once. From today on, you are his special commissioner, responsible for the contact between him and the headquarters."

Foster jumped up excitedly. Becoming a special commissioner meant that his status in the Hero Association would rise with Chu Yang's strength in the future.

And Foster was very optimistic about Chu Yang's future.

After experiencing the battle with the giant, Chu Yang became famous in D City.

Following this was endless harassment. His address was leaked by his former colleagues, and now many media outlets were squatting at his door every day, preparing for an exclusive interview.

After becoming a household name hero, the gift Chu Yang received was actually homelessness.

"Sigh... these people are really boring day by day."

Chu Yang stood in the dark alley, looking at the sea of people at his door, shaking his head helplessly.

"Get used to it, you will often encounter such things in the future, but this time, I suggest you move."

Foster appeared behind Chu Yang silently.

Chu Yang looked at Foster in surprise, and the latter shook his briefcase in front of him.

"I brought you a new contract, Mr. Chu Yang."

Foster was full of smiles.

"I have no interest in being a bodyguard."

Chu Yang stretched, replying in a lazy tone.

"Of course not this matter." Foster was a bit embarrassed, but still said: "The headquarters agreed to your request. If you are willing, from today on, you are a member of the Hero Association."

After speaking, Foster took out a newly printed contract from his briefcase and handed it to Chu Yang: "Read the terms on this slowly, and if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

Chu Yang took the contract and nodded.

Foster left his contact information and walked out of the alley.

Late night.

The busybodies saw that they hadn't blocked Chu Yang all day, and finally left in disappointment.

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after returning home, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it again?"

Hiding for a day, Chu Yang's temper also came up. He walked to the door with a gloomy face and pushed it open. Outside stood a man in a trench coat.

The man was about forty years old, with a small mustache and black-rimmed glasses, looking literary and a bit rugged.

"Hello, Mr. Chu Yang, I am Luo De, the section chief of the Major Disaster Response Section of the D City Police Department."

The middle-aged man named Luo De smiled, his eyes very sharp.

"Police Department?"

Chu Yang froze for a moment. In recent years, the Hero Association has been popular, contracting almost all affairs related to public security, making the existence of the police extremely transparent. He almost forgot the existence of the other party.

And for Chu Yang's attitude, Luo De didn't get angry, but showed a self-deprecating smile: "In this day and age, the word police is very strange to people, right?"

"Everyone is used to asking heroes for help when something happens. The police seem very incompetent, right."

Chu Yang smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't mean that, just a bit curious why Officer Luo De came to find me."

Luo De took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I have a quick temper, so I won't beat around the bush. I hope Mr. Chu Yang can join our police department as a security consultant."

Join the police department? Be a policeman? Chu Yang looked at Luo De in surprise.

Luo De smiled bitterly: "As I just said, the public is more willing to believe in so-called heroes than us. Now the word police has almost become a derogatory term."

"The influence of the Hero Association is getting bigger

Rhodes said with a grave tone: "This is not a good thing. The Hero Association is an organization spearheaded by the major conglomerate Algoni; its essence is still to serve the wealthy, while ordinary people are merely incidental objects of protection."

"Once this organization completely replaces us, it is unknown whether ordinary people will still be able to receive protection."

Chu Yang listened silently; in truth, Rhodes's worries were not groundless.

The Hero Association had already committed many acts of overstepping before, but given that it had indeed rescued many civilians, everyone just turned a blind eye.

A more obvious example is that although the Hero Association contracted much of the post-war reconstruction work, it also frequently occupied land without authorization to carry out self-serving renovations.

Doing whatever it pleased!

No one could guarantee what this force, organized entirely by the wealth of tycoons, would become once it obtained actual power.

Even if it is so supported by the public right now! Chu Yang could feel Rhodes's urgency, but he did not want to participate in the power struggle between factions, so he shook his head.

The light in the depths of Rhodes's eyes dimmed rapidly, and his disappointment was written all over his face.

There are simply too few people as powerful as Chu Yang who have not been absorbed by the Hero Association.

"May I ask, has the Hero Association contacted you?"

"They gave me a contract today."

"No wonder..."

Rhodes revealed a self-deprecating smile of resignation, "The Metropolitan Police Department truly cannot offer better conditions than them, especially for a powerhouse like you."

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "They did indeed offer me very good treatment, but that is not the reason I would join them."

Apart from S-Class heroes, the income level of heroes at other ranks is really not high.

Ron looked at Chu Yang with a face full of confusion.

"The Hero Association has problems, but does the Metropolitan Police Department not have problems of its own?"

"Mr. Rhodes, if you blindly push the responsibility onto others, even if I joined you, the police's position would not see any improvement."

"The Hero Association is merely an organization founded a few years ago; its history is pitifully short. Before the Hero Association appeared, the police were the ones people relied on."

"And what have you done?"

"Disappointment is not accumulated in a single day, Mr. Rhodes."

Rhodes was left speechless by the question, lowered his head in shame, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Chu Yang sighed; although some words are very hurtful, they still had to be said.

If the Metropolitan Police Department truly intends to make changes...

The next day.

Foster came to Chu Yang's house in high spirits and signed the contract with him, and Chu Yang officially became an A-Class hero.

Temporarily ranked 10th.

A coffee shop on the central commercial street of A-City.

"By what right does this guy whose name I've never heard of take my place?"

"Just because he was on TV?"

"That kind of monster who mutated by taking drugs is strong on the outside but weak on the inside; if it were me, I could easily defeat him!"

Stinger, who had just been pushed out of 10th place among A-Class heroes by Chu Yang, complained angrily to his companion about why he had to be the one pushed down instead of someone else! Sitting beside Stinger was Golden Ball, also an A-Class hero, ranked 26th.

Because of Chu Yang, he is now 27th.

"It is indeed very strange. It's not the time for open recruitment, yet a hero we've never seen before suddenly pops up and is promoted directly to 10th place."

Golden Ball was dressed like a rapper and sported a small goatee; as he spoke, his brows furrowed involuntarily, giving him a bitter and deep-seated look.

"Do you guys think that guy might have used back-door connections? Isn't that kind of thing quite common? There are many such guys within the Association."

The man currently speaking was wearing a brown snakeskin suit and a red tie; his figure was somewhat thin, and he looked very dejected.

He is Snake, who ranks at the very bottom of the A-Class heroes.

Snake's remarks resonated deeply with Stinger.

"That guy definitely used back-door connections!" Stinger said indignantly: "I'm going to D-City to challenge him in front of everyone and take back my 10th place."

Golden Ball frowned and said: "That wouldn't be very good, would it? Meaningless fighting between heroes might invite punishment from the Association."

Stinger's attitude was very firm, and he said in a deep voice: "I must challenge him!"

Snake said: "It's fine, as long as you don't beat him too badly, the Association won't care that much; at most, they'll just give a warning."

Snake was eager for Stinger to challenge Chu Yang, because that guy who suddenly appeared made his own ranking, which was already at the bottom, even more precarious.

Stinger was also a hot-headed person; as soon as he made the decision, he immediately got up and hurried out of the coffee shop.

Golden Ball watched his departing back and said worriedly: "This is going to cause trouble now."

It was the next day by the time Stinger arrived in D-City by train.

Chu Yang happened to be dealing with a Tiger-level monster near the station. He didn't use anything, didn't even activate Haki, and finished the opponent off with physical strength alone. His sand-pot-sized fists landed on the monster's body like a butcher pounding meatballs; in the blink of an eye, the monster became a puddle of meat paste.

Stinger saw this brutal scene just as he exited the station; his eyelids twitched violently, and he licked his dry lips.

What a fierce newcomer. Is his specialty strength? It doesn't matter! I can use technique to restrain him!

Stinger cheered himself on inwardly and strode toward Chu Yang with an imposing manner.

Chu Yang also noticed the flamboyantly styled Stinger, whose hairstyle looked like that of a non-mainstream youth who spent all his time in internet cafes.

The long spear in his hand looked inexplicably like a phallus.

"You're the newcomer who ranked 10th in A-Class as soon as you arrived? The name is... Chu Yang? What a mouthful."

Stinger's expression was unfriendly, and his tone was full of provocation.

"Do you need something?"

Chu Yang clapped his hands indifferently to clear off the flesh and blood.

Stinger sneered: "Thanks to you, I was originally 10th, and now I've become 11th."

Chu Yang felt he was a bit inexplicable, frowned, and said: "Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? If you were 9th, you wouldn't have been pushed down."

For a moment, Stinger felt that what Chu Yang said made a lot of sense.

The standoff between the two quickly attracted many onlookers, and some had already started taking out their phones to record.

"In short, I'm going to challenge you to prove that I'm still the 10th-ranked hero!"

Stinger thrust his beloved spear "Bamboo Shoot" forward, the tip pointing straight at Chu Yang, provoking him without mercy.

"Why not just challenge the 9th rank? Is it because you can't beat them? Or is it because you like the number 10 too much?"

Chu Yang asked sincerely.

This actually made Stinger feel a bit angry and embarrassed.

Every word implied that he was a bully who picked on the weak, but from an objective perspective, it did indeed feel that way.

Stinger's movements froze; he suddenly found that it was awkward to fight and awkward not to fight. The people around had already started to laugh out loud.

"I was just joking earlier. You can go ahead and make your move. I also want to prove the 'gold content' of my 10th-place ranking."

Chu Yang put on a kind smile, his tone gentle, yet it made Stinger feel a bit creeped out.

At this moment, he couldn't care about much else; Stinger charged at Chu Yang with his spear, launching the first attack.

"Ultimate Technique: Giant Spiral Stinger!"

The spearhead rotated rapidly like an electric drill, the sound of it piercing the air was deafening.

This was Stinger's signature move, which had always been successful against Tiger-level monsters; it was a one-hit kill technique, and it still possessed a certain lethality when facing Demon-level monsters.

The long spear was like lightning, instantly piercing toward Chu Yang's face.

Chu Yang covered his whole body with Armament Haki and extended a palm to block the spear. The sharp tip stabbed into Chu Yang's palm, bursting with brilliant sparks.

Stinger's eyes widened, his expression looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Someone actually blocked his Giant Spiral Stinger with their hand and wasn't even injured! Is this guy a monster?! The onlookers also gasped in shock, falling silent in fear!

Chu Yang grabbed the spearhead, and suddenly sparks scattered like falling cherry blossoms; the rotating spear slowly came to a stop.

No matter how hard Stinger exerted himself, the spear remained motionless, held firmly by Chu Yang.

Chu Yang grinned, "Seeing how you ran all the way here, you probably haven't rested much, right?"

Stinger looked up at him blankly.

"Have a good sleep!"

Chu Yang suddenly stepped forward and kicked Stinger hard in the chest and abdomen. This kick made Stinger's internal organs churn within him.

Stinger gasped for air, his vision growing darker and darker, and finally, he couldn't hold on and collapsed to the ground.

The next second.

Camera flashes erupted! The onlookers frantically took photos and videos, recording this shameful moment. Chu Yang shook his head; by tomorrow morning, Stinger would be in the news.

Among the crowd, a pair of eyes was staring fixedly at Chu Yang.

As the number of onlookers gradually increased, Chu Yang had no choice but to leave quietly, leaving Stinger sleeping on the ground.

He had originally intended to send him to a clinic or hospital...

"What a bother. I hope others will open their eyes and stop looking for trouble. If you want to rise in the rankings, eliminating monsters is the true path!"

On the way home, Chu Yang was grumbling when he suddenly found someone blocking his path ahead.

"Again? Is there no end to this!"

Chu Yang scratched his head, his face full of impatience.

That person suddenly spoke: "You're a ninja, right? Which ninja village are you from?"

Chu Yang was stunned and subconsciously said: "I'm from the Hidden Leaf Village."

The person's expression became blank.

"Where is the Hidden Leaf Village?"
