Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

He laughed so hard he almost fell over, tears welling up in his eyes.

I thought I was going to die today, but things took an unexpected turn. This kid was so stupid that he cut off his own arm and actually challenged me to a one-on-one fight.

It's truly heaven's help!

Once we kill this kid, we can not only get the Town Card, but also find the other King Cards on his body. Combined with the King's Shield from the clues, we might be able to collect most of the King series.

At that time, which of those old fogies in the clan would dare to look down on him, the third young master from a collateral branch?

Amidst the maniacal laughter, Bai Chizhe flicked his wrist, and a long, green whip appeared in his hand.

The whip was over two meters long, covered with tiny barbs that gleamed with a cold, eerie luster, clearly coated with deadly poison.

He channeled his inner energy into his fingertips, causing the whip to snap taut and emit a soft hum.

A figure flashed by.

Bai Chizhe's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Cheng Zhuo.

He flicked his wrist hard, the long whip whistling as it lashed towards Cheng Zhuo's face, the poisonous barbs at the tip gleaming coldly under the soul fire.

"Snap—"

It exploded with a crisp sound.

Those watching from the sidelines couldn't bear to look. The moment Bai Chize unleashed his whip, they seemed to already see Cheng Zhuo being whipped into a pool of blood.

However, what is shocking is:

Cheng Zhuo actually stood still, without moving an inch.

He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and precisely caught the whip that was being pulled out. Layers of bluish-black scales surged out from under the skin of his wrist, spreading up his arm, and in just a few breaths, they covered his entire body.

The edges of the scales gleamed with a cold, hard metallic sheen, and the poisonous barbs embedded in them left not even a mark.

Bai Chizhe's maniacal laughter suddenly froze.

He gripped the whip handle and pulled back with all his might, but the whip seemed welded to Cheng Zhuo's hand and wouldn't budge.

"How, how is this possible!" he cried out, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

This is the legendary weapon "Azure Thorn Whip," its blade coated with the venom of an eighth-tier ice scorpion. It can even crack steel plates, and ordinary seventh-tier hunters wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

This kid actually caught it with his bare hands? And with his bare body?

He suddenly remembered something, and quickly pulled out a detector with his left hand and put it on his eye.

The next second, his voice changed tone:

「2…4…9…9…5点85级？？？怎幺可能！你这体魄强度，明明是七阶中段的水準！！」

He kept looking at the numbers flashing on the detector screen.

His physical strength was nearly 25,000, which was more than 3,000 higher than his own.

He was at the seventh level, third stage, and had been taking medicinal baths and using enhancement agents since childhood, yet his physique was only slightly over 22,000.

A sixth-tier, fifth-stage summoner has a stronger physical body than him?

What the hell is this monster?

Those outside the arena couldn't detect Cheng Zhuo's biological strength, but upon hearing Bai Chizhe's exclamation, they all expressed surprise and disbelief.

"How is that possible? At the beginning, it showed that he was only at the sixth rank, eighth level!"

"Isn't it only at the peak of the sixth tier that one can break through the physical threshold?"

"There are some special methods that allow for early breakthroughs, but this city lord named Cheng Zhuo's physique is still a bit too exaggerated!"

"Found it!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Cheng Zhuo is a newly appointed city lord from the southeast. It's said that when he was at the fifth rank, he was already able to fight against a peak seventh-rank orc!"

"What? You're just bragging!"

"I'll lie to you, I'll eat it upside down! Look him up yourself, he's from the Star Iron region! When he was still at Tier 5, he led an undead army and vomited up an entire orc legion!"

"If these things were true, wouldn't Bai Chize have found out?"

"It's probably just the arrogance of a seventh-tier expert. After all, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they're only a sixth-tier!"

After Cheng Zhuo's identity was revealed, more and more people joined in the discussion.

Tianji City had long suffered from the scourge of orcs, and upon hearing that this man had actually slaughtered an orc legion, everyone cheered and began to support Cheng Zhuo.

Meanwhile, inside the arena...

Bai Chizhe's face had turned red; he still refused to believe that the opponent's biological strength was so outrageous.

Cheng Zhuo tightened his fingertips slightly, and the whip creaked under the strain. He looked at Bai Chize's pale face and laughed mockingly:

"Should I call you arrogant, or stupid? You didn't even bother to find out anything about your opponent before you started fighting?"

His normal physical strength is 18127.15. After the dragon transformation, although the increase is not as exaggerated as in the early days, it can still be increased by more than 7,000. In addition, the dragon scales have powerful defense and special resistance to poison.

Bai Chize's strength was no different from a tickle in his eyes.

Bai Chize's face turned pale and then red, filled with shock and anger.

He knew he had kicked a hornet's nest, but now there was no turning back.

He gritted his teeth, slapped the card box at his waist with his left hand, and another orange card appeared in his palm.

"Don't assume you're guaranteed to win just because you're physically strong!"

He roared, frantically channeling his source energy into the card, "Taste my King's Cannon!"

An orange-gold ball of light condensed in his palm, growing brighter and brighter, forming a unique field of energy around him, and the ball of light grew larger and larger...

This is the King card he bet on, a legendary seventh-tier attack card that, when fully activated, is powerful enough to shatter a small mountain.

The audience outside stirred up another commotion upon seeing this.

"Here it comes! Young Master Bai's trump card!"

"This is bad. No matter how strong your physique is, it can't withstand a legendary attack card, right?"

"Sigh, that city lord is too arrogant. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he has a stronger physical body. Why would a summoner fight someone in his physical form?"

"..."

Almost all the opinions were unanimous: under this relentless attack, Cheng Zhuo was finished.

……

at this time.

The top floor of the 512-meter-tall Tianji Building in the central area of ​​Tianji City.

Wei Tiancheng stood in front of the screen with his hands behind his back, a half-burnt cigar between his fingers, the smoke drifting upwards through his fingers, blurring the dense text on the projection screen.

A list of candidates was displayed on the screen, with each name followed by its realm, past achievements, and affiliated faction.

The red circle at the top highlights the glaringly empty space.

The Great City Siege takes place every three years and directly affects the Lighthouse rating of Tianji City. Once the rating drops, the resource allocation for the entire city will be reduced by 30%.

Wei Tiancheng had been worrying about this for almost a week, so much so that he didn't even notice the cigarette ash falling on his expensive handmade suit trousers.

"City Lord."

A soft knock sounded, and Deputy City Lord Bai Zhenghong hurriedly pushed the door open, clutching a silver terminal in his hand.

Wei Tiancheng turned around and raised an eyebrow:

"So, you've found the right person?"

"Please take a look at this first."
