A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Although it still didn't do much good.

The increased range is understandable, but the third ability's maximum pickup range is ten meters, which can be considered a drop-in skill.

What's the use of increasing power? You can't just materialize a Stand and throw it at people, can you?

Unable to understand, Johnson shook his head and put away the stand-in.

The first thing you see is an old face with an unfriendly expression; it is Bangu.

"Hey, Mr. Johnson, do you have any complaints about my performance?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Johnson denied it three times: "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

"then you……"

Bang was about to continue questioning when he saw Johnson slap his chest, then stare in disbelief, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

What did he see?

In the blink of an eye, a familiar feeling arose from the young man in front of him.

The essence of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist!

How can it be! ?

The old man's pupils dilated, then his eyes were filled with intense heat.

What kind of rough jade? This is a priceless nugget of gold!

"I tried imitating your breathing method from before, Master. Do you see any problems?"

With a forced smile, Johnson asked, "Although doing this would mean risking everything, the old man isn't a bad person, and there's nothing wrong with making more friends."

The key is that the Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist is delicious!

Of course, becoming an apprentice is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime!

Otherwise, if everyone plays together, wouldn't I be stuck in the same generation as Genos?

Huff, huff...

As a martial arts master, Bang quickly calmed down.

His past experience told him that he absolutely could not rush the matter of taking on apprentices.

He coughed twice, regained his previous masterly demeanor, and said with a smile, "You imitated it very well, there's no problem. You must come to my dojo when you have time, and we can discuss it in more depth."

Johnson readily agreed: "Okay, no problem!"

"Now it's your turn, Mr. Qiao Sen."

"Then I'll make a fool of myself."

“Um, Miss Lanny,” Johnson clenched his fist and turned to the blonde woman with wavy hair who was practically drooling beside him, “if I accidentally break it, I shouldn’t have to pay for it, right?”

Lani was taken aback by what she heard, but the staff member next to her laughed and said, "Don't worry, we have plenty of testing equipment here, so it won't matter if we break it."

"That's good."

Qiao Sen nodded, and as he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned silver-white, and a layer of lightning enveloped his body, with azure spiritual flames appearing around him.

Ultimate Skill: Thunder Armor Advancement—

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

He took a step back and turned halfway, and a terrifying force suddenly erupted with the twisting power of his waist. His right hand, wrapped in lightning, left a blur and struck the leather pad of the testing machine!

boom--

A powerful gust of air erupted, and Lanny's skirt, the staff's white coats, and Bang's beard were all thrown backward.

The expressions of the three people present did not change much, mainly because they were numb from the electric shock.

The test machine, which was supposed to withstand a direct attack from a Demon-level monster, has been reduced to a pile of sparking metal junk, embedded in a wall twenty meters away.

The staff member who thought Johnson was just bragging twitched at the corner of his mouth, on the verge of tears.

Don't lose money, but don't actually smash it either!

Lanny snapped out of her daze, her eyes shining.

A superpowered individual and a martial arts master—bringing in two powerful figures in one day is incredibly lucrative.

Bangu's thoughts were written all over his face.

This kid is actually a superpowered individual; now it'll be even harder to find a disciple!

"Mr. Johnson, a perfect score..."

The scorer stiffly announced Johnson's score, and Lanny quickly led the two to continue the test.

Regardless of the circumstances, we must take down these two today!

Johnson and Bang did not disappoint the association. Starting with the strength test, they broke records in all the assessment items one by one.

Rope skipping, high jump, weightlifting, side jump, 1500-meter sprint – data that broke human limits was recorded, and everyone who was following the test was thrilled.

"Ace! We are about to have an ace hero for Z City!"

"That's right! And they're two aces!"

"I'll report to headquarters immediately!"

Chapter 11 Test Ends

Upon discovering they had struck gold, the Z City Hero Association branch sprang into action like an engine at full throttle. Johnson and Bang returned to the locker room to change into their own clothes, and were then invited by Lanny to the reception room for tea.

At this time, the Hero Association had not yet set up the later written test; the test was considered complete once all the physical tests were finished.

According to Lani, the Hero Association currently has only three levels: A, B, and C. The evaluation of the level mainly considers four aspects: monster-slaying achievements, combat ability, social contribution, and public popularity. Each aspect accounts for 25% of the score, and the scores are calculated and settled on a weekly basis to determine the hero's level and ranking.

In other words, being able to fight doesn't necessarily mean you're A-level.

Johnson and Bang, who joined halfway through, were among those invited. Their strong abilities certainly gave them an advantage in the initial ranking. The rest depends on factors such as subsequent hero events and fan popularity, as they compete for rankings with other heroes.

"Rankings are not important. I'm not here to compete with kids for jobs."

"I think so too, but you can contact me if you encounter any strange people that you can't handle."

"Okay..." Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to care much about their rankings, Lani was a little discouraged, but she quickly cheered them up. "The results of this morning's test have been reported to headquarters. The association still needs to discuss and decide on your hero levels and rankings. We will probably notify you within three days."

"So you're alright now? My old back can finally rest." Bang rubbed his lower back in pain, then stretched his shoulder blades, looking like he was about to collapse. "It's almost lunchtime, wanna find a place for a drink?"

That old rascal is really wicked; who is he trying to fool?

Watching the old man's skillful performance, Qiao Sen thought for a moment and nodded, "How about we go to my house? I'll cook a side dish and let the master try my treasured 1982 beer."

"Oh? Young man Qiao Sen, you can cook? Then this old man must have a good taste."

"But what the heck is this 1982 beer?"

"It's just a boring, tired joke~"

"Is that so..."

Lanny: ...

As they were talking, the two newly appointed heroes had already left the reception room, leaving her no chance to interrupt.

Judging from this, they have absolutely no intention of staying any longer.

Upholding her professional ethics, Lani quickly chased after them, escorted the two elderly men to the entrance of the residence, and handed them her business card.

"Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. This is my number."

"okay."

"must."

After handing out two business cards, Lani watched the two figures, one old and one young, sway and disappear around the street corner, then took a deep breath.

Amidst the gazes of the group of rough men, the blonde beauty's initial enthusiasm vanished, replaced by an icy aloofness. She elegantly adjusted her burgundy glasses, turned, and strode quickly toward the branch building.

She needs to hurry up and handle the rating matters for Johnson and the other person.

……

On the way back, Johnson took Bang to a convenience store.

Watching him skillfully select ingredients and fruits, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "There aren't many young people these days who can settle down and cook for themselves. Qiao Senjun is truly multi-talented."

"The main thing is that my job isn't too busy, and I also have a tiny bit of superpower. Those office workers are already working hard enough, so how can they have the time to spend cooking?"

As he walked out of the convenience store, Johnson turned the bags he had bought into cards, and his hands were suddenly empty.

Banggu:…

Seeing the thing in Johnson's hand disappear into thin air, Bang's lips twitched: "...I have to say, your superpower is really convenient."

Johnson nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think so too."

The two were chatting happily when suddenly, two dark figures passed by from a nearby alley.

Loud shouts could be heard during the chase.

"Stop! Don't run!"
