After blocking Fu’s fist with a single palm,
An Yi extended his index finger and wagged it mockingly in front of Fu.
It was a gesture practically begging for a beating!
Clearly, Fu was provoked too. He retracted his fist, gathered strength, and threw another punch straight at An Yi’s face.
But in that brief moment of charging up, An Yi moved even faster—his elbow struck Fu’s chest like a hammer.
A heart-piercing elbow strike!
Thud!
Fu’s towering frame staggered, forced back a step.
“Not done yet! Here’s the real finisher!”
Suddenly appearing behind Fu, An Yi swept his leg in a vicious kick to the man’s back.
Fu, who at most should’ve only been knocked back a step, was instead sent flying like a ragdoll.
He crashed through the supermarket’s glass door, shattering it instantly.
“Damn, you’re tough.”
An Yi rubbed his elbow, grimacing in pain.
Qiu Xu, still sitting with his neck crooked, was utterly dumbfounded.
He knew exactly how strong Fu was—this was the man who had once taken down fifteen bodyguards single-handedly during an audition.
His strength was inhuman, capable of flipping cars like toys.
Yet this monster of a man had just been kicked clean out of the store by An Yi.
The shop owner looked on the verge of tears, her gaze at An Yi a mix of fear and hatred.
Her glass door was destroyed! The damages would be catastrophic.
Crash!
Fu’s massive frame rose from the sea of shattered glass.
Standing at 7’2”, he looked like a literal giant.
“Impressive power. You’re much stronger than before.”
Fu’s voice rumbled like distant thunder.
He could tell—An Yi’s movements, timing, everything was sharper than during their earlier exchange.
And that kick from behind? The force behind it was downright terrifying, at least 50% stronger than before.
An Yi smirked.
Attacking from behind triggered his 【Ambush】 passive, boosting his strike’s power to 150%.
What would’ve only pushed Fu back a few steps now sent him flying.
“Didn’t even need my full strength to handle you,” An Yi taunted. “Let’s keep going.”
His earlier exertion had drained his malice gauge completely.
But his 【Combat Mastery】 had leveled up from Lv1 to Lv2—the difference was night and day.
Now, Fu’s once-impenetrable defense seemed riddled with openings.
More importantly, his 【Qi Control】 technique had also upgraded to Lv2. He was itching to test its enhanced effects.
“Fu! If you can’t even deal with this brat, consider yourself fired! You won’t see a single cent of your pay—go back to dumpster diving!”
Qiu Xu’s face twisted as he spat the threat.
An Yi shot him a cold look. “Looks like your jaw’s healed nicely. Talking real smooth now.”
Qiu Xu paled.
Regret was already creeping in.
This kid was clearly no ordinary opponent.
Fu took a deep breath, veins bulging across his muscles like cables.
His already monstrous physique now looked even more inhuman.
An Yi’s expression tightened. He could sense Fu’s aura intensifying.
Guess I’ll have to flank him again…
With that thought, An Yi moved—silent as a shadow, he circled behind Fu and pivoted.
A whip-like roundhouse kick lashed into Fu’s side!
Even enhanced, Fu couldn’t withstand it.
The ambush-powered strike hammered him into the floor, cracking the tiles beneath.
Blood spilled from Fu’s mouth as his organs seemed to rearrange themselves.
An Yi rolled his shoulders, ready to press the attack—when a sudden realization made him freeze.
“Agh! My leg!”
Clutching his shin, An Yi collapsed, writhing in “agony.”
Fu staggered to his feet, utterly baffled.
What the hell?!
You just beat me to a pulp, and now you’re the one crying in pain?
Did my back somehow hurt your leg?!
“Hell yeah, Fu! Bonus for you later!” Qiu Xu cheered, face alight with excitement.
Fu, still dazed, forced his battered body forward. Every step sent jolts of pain through his fractured ribs.
This job’s payout might not even cover the medical bills.
“An Yi!”
Lan Ruoxi rushed over, her delicate face white with fear. She threw herself between Fu and An Yi, arms spread wide. “Don’t you dare hurt him!”
“Hmph.”
Fu barely glanced at her.
To most men, Lan Ruoxi was a stunning beauty, but to Fu, she was just another person—gender didn’t even register.
Qiu Xu panicked. “Fu, STOP! Don’t lay a finger on Miss Lan!”
Fu hesitated.
Then—cold metal pressed against his lower back.
“One more step, and I blow a hole through your spine.”
The voice belonged to a woman in a white trench coat, her figure lethal in both curves and the handgun she held steady.
“Law Enforcers!”
The crowd gasped.
“Don’t move! They’re Law Enforcers! Stay put!” Qiu Xu yelped.
These officers were genuine martial artists, authorized to shoot first and ask questions later with violent offenders.
If Fu resisted, the next bullet would shred his kidneys.
Fu slowly raised his hands.
The woman holding the gun was Yan Zhi.
Aged 23-24, she had chestnut waves cascading past her shoulders and a silhouette that could melt steel.
Her sharp phoenix eyes held a deadly charm, paired with sword-like brows—a face both exquisite and intimidating.
The summer heat had clearly influenced her outfit: beneath the white coat was a crop top and hot pants, showcasing legs that could launch a thousand ships and a waist so narrow it defied physics.
Qiu Xu swallowed hard.
This woman was fire incarnate—a spicy bombshell of a dominatrix.
The polar opposite of Lan Ruoxi’s pure, innocent allure.
“Cuff him,” Yan Zhi ordered, her gun never wavering.
Two Law Enforcers hurried forward, clamping shackles around Fu’s wrists.
Even they tensed up handling this 7’2” behemoth.
“Brazen enough to wreck a store in broad daylight?” Yan Zhi’s gaze sharpened.
Qiu Xu scrambled to explain. “Officer, misunderstanding! I’m Qiu Xu of Hongtu Real Estate—my father’s Qiu Dafu.”
“Oh! So you’re that bastard Qiu Dafu’s kid!” Yan Zhi’s eyes lit with recognition. “Tell your old man we’ve got a file thicker than a dictionary on his shady deals. One more slip, and he’ll rot in prison.”
Qiu Xu: “…”
Since when did some low-rank Law Enforcer dare disrespect his family?!
“Get this guy to the station. We’re done here.”
With a flick of her wrist, Yan Zhi marched out, her presence dominating the room.
The shop owner was dumbfounded. She had called the authorities, only for them to just haul away that hulking guy and call it a day?
Her shop was practically wrecked! What kind of Law Enforcer was this, with zero sense of duty!
"Officer, my—my shop…" The owner quickly scurried over, stammering awkwardly.
Yan Zhi glanced at the scene and replied indifferently, "It’s fine. We’ll make sure he compensates for the damages."
"But—"
Seeing how dismissive the response was, the owner gaped for a moment before pointing at An Yi, who was lying on the ground playing dead. "This guy wrecked the place too, Officer! You can’t just let him go!"
"Damn it!"
An Yi’s eyes flew open.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
