With a nonchalant smile, Suiryu lowered his head and stared intently at Saitama's head.
Saitama thought to himself, "I hope this guy doesn't realize I'm wearing a wig!"
Shuilong didn't say anything, just smiled, took a few steps back, and started doing stretching exercises.
The chubby referee announced, "Both sides, get ready!"
"Charanko, let's fight to our hearts' content!" Suiryu was full of fighting spirit. His previous opponents had all been killed in one hit, just like Charanko (Saitama).
The referee gave the command: "Start!"
As soon as the command to start was given, Shuilong spun 360 degrees and kicked Saitama hard in the head with his right leg.
However, just as the kick was about to hit, it stopped abruptly at a distance of only a few centimeters.
A powerful gust of wind burst forth, blowing Saitama's wig off. Fortunately, the others reacted quickly and pressed the wig back onto his head.
Water Dragon immediately jumped back a few steps, moving away from Saitama, and stood there in a one-legged stance.
Host: "Water Dragon launched the first attack, but why did he stop short of winning?"
Another kick landed, just touching Saitama's head and stopping short of it. If Saitama hadn't reacted quickly, his hair would have flown off.
Saitama, his face darkening, thought to himself, "Since it's the finals, I was planning to check the situation. That wind pressure is too dangerous; he must have done it on purpose!"
I can't let anyone find out it's a wig, otherwise I'll be exposed and the three million bonus will be gone.
Water Dragon lifted his long leg and said, "What's wrong? You can see my attack, can't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Long unleashed a series of rapid kicks that left afterimages, but all of them stopped short of actually hitting the target.
Host: "Tea Lanzi had no choice but to defend her head. Did she lose her fighting spirit so quickly?"
Suiryu pointed at Saitama and said to himself, "They really don't understand the real situation. That was just warm-up exercise. You're strong, aren't you? I understand, because I'm strong too."
Saitama thought to himself, "So he didn't come here to kick my wig off!"
Shuilong gave him a knowing look: "There's no desire for status or fame in your eyes. You seem to be looking for something more interesting."
Saitama replied calmly, "That might be true!"
Shui Long smiled and said, "Why did you come to participate in this competition? I came for the prize money, and also, it would be great if I could fight some stronger players along the way."
"Although I will win in the end, the process was very enjoyable."
For some reason, Saitama had a vague urge to beat up Suiryu.
Saitama said with some disappointment, "I came to participate in the competition to experience martial arts. If this continues, it seems like I came for nothing. But you seem to be different."
Shuilong smiled confidently and said, "I understand. How about this, I'll let you experience martial arts, so you do your best and let me enjoy the match."
“Oh, good idea,” Saitama agreed.
"Alright, let's begin! Here I come!"
With a powerful stomp of his left foot on the ground, he leaped forward in an instant, his right foot kicking fiercely towards Saitama's temple.
Saitama calmly raised his left hand to block the attack, his body remaining perfectly still, maintaining his standing posture.
However, the immense force propelled Saitama directly out of the ring, until he reached the edge of the ring.
With a slight exertion, Saitama stepped onto the ground and stopped instantly, while a large foot kicked out from the side.
Saitama slightly shifted his body to the side to dodge, and then came a series of kicks from the Water Dragon, all of which Saitama perfectly avoided.
"Take this!"
Undeterred, Shui Long spun around, braced himself with his left foot, squatted down, and kicked out with his right foot.
Saitama was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was kicked into the air, his chin struck.
Saitama, who was in mid-air, immediately covered his head with both hands to protect his wig.
"Bang!" Water Dragon also jumped into the air and kicked Saitama down.
"Boom!" Saitama remained standing, his lower body sinking directly into the ring.
Saitama breathed a sigh of relief: "Safe! The wig is still on."
Suddenly, Saitama's hands were grabbed, and he instinctively looked up. Then, a knee struck Saitama directly in the face.
Host: "One strike decides the outcome!"
With a graceful somersault, Shuilong landed to the side, gazing confidently at Saitama, who was now completely engulfed in the ring.
"Tea Orchid"
"As expected, the difference in strength is too great!" The eliminated contestants stared solemnly at the arena.
Shuilong laughed and said, "It ended by accident!"
Saitama climbed out: "That really startled me."
“Very good, it would be no fun if it weren’t like this.” Suiryu paused for a moment, then laughed again and charged towards Saitama.
His feet kept changing direction, and his speed was getting faster and faster, but he still couldn't hit Saitama.
"Your weapon is your fist, isn't it! Hurry up and hit me! Let me have a good taste of it." The water dragon's expression was slightly ferocious.
Suddenly, a figure appeared between the two and punched Shui Long in the foot. Shui Long lost his balance and stumbled back a few steps before regaining his footing.
"Who is it?" Shui Long asked with a grave expression. He had lost all feeling in his right leg.
A question mark appeared above Saitama's head: "Uh, Lin Qing, what brings you here?"
Genos immediately stood up: "Lin Qing? What's he doing on the stage?"
Host: "A third person has appeared in the ring, who is it?"
"The second-ranked S-class golden glow! Lin Qing."
Chapter 421 It's up to you (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend this chapter)
The entire audience erupted in cheers. Lin Qing's reputation was now known to everyone!
Lin Qing said to the audience, "Genos, you should have heard the news too. There's a monster riot in all the cities. Go and help right now."
"Yes, I just received the news too, and I'm getting ready to leave." He said, waving the phone he had just hung up.
"We concede defeat in this match." With that, he grabbed Saitama and teleported away from the venue.
Tens of thousands of people were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Although their expressions inevitably showed disappointment, they were still quite happy, after all, they had seen the golden glow in person.
The host, regaining his composure, immediately announced: "Since Chalanzi has withdrawn, the winner of this tournament is—Suiryu!"
"Haha! I didn't expect to win like this." Shuilong scratched his head and laughed, then happily waved to the audience.
"My three million, gone, gone, three million gone!" Saitama stared at Lin Qing with dead fish eyes, constantly muttering to himself.
Lin Qing said with a serious expression, "The situation is urgent. There have been strange riots in all twenty-six cities across the country. It is all a conspiracy by an organization called the Strange Man Association."
"The goal is to capture the children of the Hero Association's wealthy sponsors, thereby gathering all the heroes of the Hero Association and ultimately destroying the entire Hero Association."
"My three million is gone, gone!" Saitama ignored these words; losing the three million prize money was too much of a blow to him.
Lin Qing: ""
"Five million. You take care of the Monster Association for me, and I'll transfer five million to your bank account immediately." Helpless, Lin Qing could only offer such a large sum of money.
"To safeguard world peace and protect the safety of citizens, I, as a professional hero, will spare no effort, even at the cost of my life."
The art style suddenly changes, and Saitama, with his dead fish eyes, instantly transforms into a professional hero of exceptionally high moral character.
Saitama said with unusual seriousness, "Tell me the location of the Monster Association, and I'll go there right away."
Lin Qing immediately stated the location: "The headquarters of the Monster Association is located in xxx in Z City. Remember, don't leave a single monster there alive."
Saitama flicked his robe and prepared to leave, but suddenly turned around and said, "Well then, I'm off. By the way, you still don't know my bank card number, right? I'll text you about it later."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and began composing a text message: "Ah, I forgot my bank card numbers. They're all in Z city. I'll go home first and check the bank card numbers."
Instead of walking slowly, it headed directly towards Z City at supersonic speed.
"As expected, money makes the world go round!" Lin Qing put his mind at ease and continued with the monster-eliminating plan. He would leave the Monster Association to Saitama!
An hour later, all the strange people in the twenty-six cities had been eliminated, leaving only government personnel to clean up the mess.
At this moment, Lin Qing was being interviewed by reporters from various media outlets.
Hello, Mr. Golden Glow, I'm a reporter from xx newspaper. Do you have a girlfriend now?
[Mr. Golden Glow, I'm a reporter from XX TV station. May I ask if I can be your girlfriend?]
[Mr. Lin Qing, I am a reporter from xxx newspaper. When are you planning to get married? Who is your fiancé?]
【Mr. Golden Glow, are you still a virgin?】
"What kind of questions are you guys asking? The most important thing right now is the monster riot incident!" A mature woman with an exceptionally strong aura roared as she pushed through the crowd.
Lin Qing, who had been feeling embarrassed, immediately beamed with joy and gave the older woman a thumbs up.
"That's right, the current monster riot is all a conspiracy by the Monster Association, but it has already been..." Lin Qing was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
The mature female reporter said, "Mr. Golden Glow" was already only a fist's distance away from Lin Qing.
"Pop!" Caught off guard, the reporter gave Lin Qing a quick kiss on the cheek.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qing's face immediately turned red, but he quickly suppressed it and said angrily.
"Haha, I got the kiss! Haha, great! Who, who pulled my hair!"
"You little bitch, how dare you defile Lord Golden Glow's face! Unforgivable!"
"Hit her, kill this little bitch!"
"This is terrifying, this is terrifying." Lin Qing broke away from the crowd and appeared on the rooftop of a tall building.
"Women are such terrifying creatures. It's better to be single." Looking at the girls wrestling below, Lin Qing remarked, "The world is going to the dogs! People's hearts have lost their way!"
"Lin Qing, you're here! I've been looking for you for ages. I had to ask Genos to find out." Saitama jumped up from the first floor with a big smile on his face.
"Have you taken care of the Monster Association?" Lin Qing asked.
"Yes, I killed that leader, what was his name, the Strange King, and some of his subordinates as well."
