"Boom!"
Before the crowd could react, The Hulk bent his knees and leaped straight up, his body nearly blotting out the sun, casting a giant shadow on the ground as he soared.
Chen Xin swallowed hard, "What's this guy up to? Is he trying to smash us?"
"Boom!"
The Hulk landed firmly in front of the crowd, his muscles visibly fluctuating with rage.
Seeing his ferocious demeanor, Bi Bidong gave a secretive look toward the Martial Soul Hall group, signaling them to retreat collectively, lest The Hulk truly went berserk.
"Roar—"
The Hulk let out a deafening roar toward the crowd, watching them disperse. He continued to advance menacingly, frantically scanning the crowd for a target to brawl with.
Just then, a small stone hit The Hulk on the head.
Everyone watched this scene in shock.
The Hulk turned back, his face viciously frightful.
"Ugly freak!!"
Little Golden Crocodile yelled at The Hulk, stone still in hand, fully embracing the instincts of a mischievous child.
Thousand Waves widened his eyes, "This stinky kid must have a death wish, what the hell is he doing?!"
The Hulk roared and charged toward Little Golden Crocodile.
Lin Yi watched calmly and said, "Di Tian, stop him."
Caught off-guard by the sudden command, Di Tian instinctively obeyed the order and rushed over, positioning himself in the path of The Hulk's furious charge.
At that moment, The Hulk hesitated, his pace slowing down as he seemed to sense something different in Di Tian.
Lin Yi curled the corners of his lips, his voice like a nightmare whispering in Di Tian's ear, "Di Tian, provoke him."
What the heck?!
Di Tian, of course, felt intimidated by this unrecognizable monster; how could he dare to provoke it now?
But since Lin Yi had spoken, he did not dare to disobey.
So Di Tian lifted his index finger from below towards The Hulk, revealing a fierce expression, and the words of insult nearly squeezed out through his teeth, "Ugly! Freak!"
"Roar!!!!"
The Hulk instantly flew into a rage, abandoning any observation of Di Tian, and went straight into the fray!
Rushing forward, The Hulk's fist, large as a cauldron, smashed into Di Tian's chin before he could even react.
"Bang!"
A human-shaped cannonball flew into the sky, heading toward the sun without losing momentum.
Lin Yi looked up slightly, using his hand as a shield against the glaring sun, enjoying the view before him.
In the crowd, Gu Yuena couldn't help but silently pray for Di Tian's safety.
And as Di Tian ascended to the sky, The Hulk bent his knees once more and rocketed upwards, intent on continuing the fight high above the earth.
Even if Di Tian had been knocked into the sky, The Hulk was determined to finish him there!
The two figures soon collided, The Hulk's jumping power almost miraculous, his fists pounding down on Di Tian's body, which fell like a meteor to the ground, creating a deep crater.
The Hulk then jumped into the crater, his fists raining down like relentless cannonballs on Di Tian with "bangs" and "booms," the intensity of the battle leaving everyone speechless, the mere sounds causing shivers.
The air itself seemed to carry the scent of The Hulk's rage, erupting like a volcano.
Soon, a breathless voice from inside the crater said, "The... sun is setting!"
It was Di Tian, who had just remembered the phrase.
"Why... Why do I have to be the guinea pig..."
Di Tian looked at the calmed-down Hulk, shouted hoarsely, and then, his head lolled to the side as he fainted.
Under this guy's frenzied attacks, he had no chance to fight back; at this moment, all his bones were broken.
But then, a voice like a divine edict came from the platform.
"Heal."
In that instant, all the injuries on Di Tian's body disappeared, and he sprang out of the pit immediately, taking up a defensive stance. Only after realizing what happened did he look at his unscathed body in astonishment.
I'm not dead?! I'm healed?!
"Thank you, Golden Dragon Lord!"
No sooner had he thanked him did Di Tian twitch the corner of his mouth, Why am I thanking him...
Lin Yi then said, "Restore."
The deep pit on the ground instantly returned to how it was.
Magic that happens as soon as you speak is indeed useful, move your mouth, don't need to lift a finger... Lin Yi thought to himself.
"See that?! See that?!"
Evil exclaimed, "This isn't just a simple healing ability! This is word-based magic! He actually has such terrifying power!"
The Asura God's eyes were wide open; he took a long time to recover his composure and gave no response.
What in the world... where did this divine being come from, why did he go to Soul Land and even hand out rewards for free...
...
The calmed-down Hulk reverted to Gu Rong's rationality; he immediately took off his pants, and the moment the pants left his buttocks, Gu Rong's body shrank rapidly, his clothes reappeared, and while his lower half was fine, his upper half was now tattered cloth.
He looked around at the shocked gazes of the crowd with some confusion, "What happened?"
In fact, Miss Ning and the others were so frightened that they forgot to utter those five words. It was Di Tian who had uttered them before losing consciousness.
"Bone Uncle... from now on, let's not put on these pants lightly."
Miss Ning stretched out her fair little hand, pointing at the jeans next to Gu Rong as if they were some cursed object.
This kind of berserk, angry monster gave her the feeling that it could destroy the entire Soul City.
Although Gu Rong was unconscious just a moment ago, the reactions of everyone around him made him instantly understand a lot.
He gingerly folded the pants and returned to his team with great care, "Alright, I'll save this thing for a critical moment in the future."
Isn't there anyone to speak for me... Di Tian watched the scene in front of him, he turned to look at Gu Yuena, only to find his lord looking impassive, while Bi Ji had been staring dumbly at Lin Yi ever since returning from the Divine Realm.
No one cared about him.
The affection had faded after all...
At this moment, Chen Xin looked to the side, his eyes soft, "Sect Master, shall you go first, or shall I?"
Miss Ning smiled, "Uncle Jian is joking. Whether you go first or I go first, won't we both have to step up together?"
"Makes sense!"
Chen Xin mimicked the Snowy Night Gentleman's gesture, extending his palm towards Miss Ning, "Then let's go up first, and then discuss who will attack first."
Miss Ning nodded with a smile, placing her little hand in Chen Xin's palm.
Like a princess and knight, the two walked up the stairs gradually, with Chen Xin even theatrically lifting Miss Ning's not-so-long dress.
"Clatter!"
Gu Rong stared blankly at the scene, not even noticing his pants falling to the ground.
He could only twitch the corner of his mouth, "Are these two putting on so much drama just to make an attack?"
"Chuff!"
