"Who are you?" the burly man asked Su Xuan, his eyes as wide and intense as copper bells.

He felt no pride in his ability to dodge bullets. Instead, his expression was incredibly grim. Su Xuan had fired as if he were deliberately toying with him, treating him like a great ape hopping from side to side. He was also certain Su Xuan wasn't his target for revenge; if Su Xuan were part of Long Xiwén's team, he wouldn't have needed to use her gun.

The icy woman also fixed her gaze on Su Xuan, desperate to know who he was. For him to casually catch Long Xiwén, who had been thrown with such terrifying force, means he's no ordinary person. He must be one of us. But it doesn't matter. Anyone who stands in the way of me avenging my brother has to die.

She couldn't help but take another look at Su Xuan. Such a handsome man... It would be a real shame for him to die. His face is the kind that would make women swoon no matter where he went.

"I'm the one who's about to make your face bloom!" Su Xuan suddenly lunged forward, swinging his fist toward the burly man. He had said he would hit back for Long Xiwén, and he intended to keep that promise.

"You're courting death!" Seeing Su Xuan charge straight at him with no technique to speak of, a look of pure contempt on his face, the burly man's anger flared, and he too hurled his fist at Su Xuan!

The large and small fists collided in an instant. A sickening crunch of bone against bone echoed in the air, sending a shiver down the spine of anyone who heard it.

SCREECH!

Hit by a tremendous counterforce, Su Xuan's feet slid backward across the pavement, and he stopped to rub his fist. The burly man also slid back, but he was pushed a few inches farther than Su Xuan.

"What?!"

The icy woman's eyes widened again. My Senior Brother's punch is powerful enough to shatter stone, so how could it have been completely ineffective? He was even pushed back farther than his opponent! Doesn't that mean my Senior Brother is at a disadvantage?

She stared intently at Su Xuan, as if trying to see right through him. Su Xuan is far smaller than my Senior Brother in both height and weight, so how could he possibly have gained the upper hand? This... is unscientific!

"Su Xuan... are you alright?" Long Xiwén looked up at him with a face full of concern, looking as if she desperately wanted to get up and help.

"Don't worry, I've got this!" Su Xuan took a deep breath, his expression becoming uncharacteristically serious as he clenched his fist and charged the burly man again.

He was just as baffled as the icy woman. His body had already been enhanced by the system eighteen times—ten in the first stage and eight in the second. He was far beyond the realm of ordinary humans. How could this burly man trade blows with him and come out uninjured, only retreating a few inches farther?

The burly man and the icy woman were clueless about Su Xuan's thoughts. If they knew he had intended to injure the man with a single punch, they would have died of anger. Their origins were extraordinary, as was their training. If Su Xuan had truly injured him with one punch, they might as well hang themselves. They would never be able to show their faces again.

"Senior Brother, use your real skills. We don't have much time," the icy woman urged again. The gunshot already rang out. People inside the restaurant are crowded fearfully behind the glass windows watching, and someone is on their phone, calling God-knows-who... The two of them really don't have much time left!

"Understood!" The burly man's fists clenched with a CRACKLE as his biceps bulged to a massive size. A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from his body as he threw his punch at Su Xuan!

The two fists collided again!

BOOM! SCREECH!

Su Xuan slid backward once more. The burly man also retreated, but he was pushed back farther than Su Xuan again. This time it wasn't just a few inches—it was half a meter!

The burly man glanced back at the icy woman, and they saw the same look of shock in each other's eyes.

WEE-WOO! WEE-WOO!

The wail of police sirens suddenly sounded in the distance.

"We're running out of time!" For the first time, a look of anxiety crossed the icy woman's face, and she clenched her jade-like hands.

"This time, I'll definitely kill him!"

Without needing his junior sister's urging this time, the burly man took a deep breath. He shook his arms, his bones letting out a CRACKLING sound. It wasn't just his biceps anymore; all the muscles in his body swelled, causing his frame to suddenly expand by a full size! A heart-stoppingly terrifying aura poured out from him. This time, he was getting serious.

TAP! TAP! TAP!

A stray dog ran over from the distance. It usually came to the restaurant around this time to look for food, but before it even reached the entrance, it turned tail and fled. It couldn't be helped. The dog sensed that the burly man was utterly terrifying, like a ferocious beast! It was afraid the man would swallow it in a single bite.

CLICK! CLICK!

The customers and staff hiding behind the restaurant's glass windows all took out their phones to capture the unbelievable scene.

Geng Feipeng was among them. But he didn't take out his phone, nor did he run out to help Su Xuan. He just stood there, his eyes wide with fear, completely petrified.

Even if Long Xiwén really agreed to be his girlfriend, he wouldn't dare stand up for her now. It wasn't cowardice or selfishness, but a primal, instinctive fear.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The burly man advanced with heavy steps, like a lumbering mountain. He raised his enormous fist and slammed it toward Su Xuan! The fist hadn't even arrived, but the wind it generated already lashed against Su Xuan's face.

"This is a real challenge!"

Su Xuan couldn't make his body swell like the burly man's. He just took another deep breath and charged forward, vowing internally, This decides the winner!

A magnificent, searingly intense fighting spirit burst from his body. The people inside the restaurant couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him. The contrast between Su Xuan and the burly man was like a wolf against a ferocious tiger; the difference in power seemed obvious.

BANG! BANG!

Whether by design or not, their fists didn't collide directly this time. Instead, they shot past one another, striking each other square in the chest with a heart-pounding, drum-like beat.

But neither of them moved back.

Su Xuan's body shuddered, and the concrete paving stones beneath his feet shattered with a CRACK! The burly man's body also swayed, and the bricks under his feet shattered as well.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

They exchanged a flurry of punches, devoid of any technique, each trying to overwhelm the other with sheer brute force. In the blink of an eye, deep pits had formed in the ground beneath their feet.

But for some reason, the pit under Su Xuan's feet was visibly shallower than the one under the burly man.

The icy woman spotted the anomaly. He's redirecting force! she exclaimed internally. I'm sure of it. Su Xuan isn't just using his own power; he's borrowing my Senior Brother's strength and returning it to him! If they keep fighting like this, my Senior Brother will surely lose!

"Senior Brother, his style counters yours! Don't—"

The icy woman opened her mouth to warn him to change tactics, but she suddenly covered it with her hands, her beautiful face turning pale with shock.

PTOO!

Her massive Senior Brother was suddenly struck by an uppercut from Su Xuan. His head snapped back as he spat a mouthful of blood, and his huge body began to topple backward.

"So... so..." Lying on the ground, Long Xiwén clasped her small hands together tightly, her voice filled with awe. "So amazing!"
