I became Superman

The Shadowlands…that sounds amazing!

Why is there such a big difference between two different kinds of people?

Those beast-like creatures seem to be just stronger and have sharper teeth and claws, but they don't seem to have any other amazing features.

Vampires are different. They can transform into swarms of bats to escape, or into shadows, and now they've created the Shadow Realm. These are things that sound a bit incomprehensible, but inexplicably seem very powerful.

Zhou Ming asked curiously, "So where exactly is your Shadow Realm?"

If you have the chance, you can go and see it.

Duke gave a sinister smile and said, "You don't need to know, because you're about to die."

Zhou Ming felt his feet suddenly give way to nothingness, as if the ground had suddenly turned into a cliff, and he was falling down.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared beneath his feet, and he began to fall into it.

Zhou Ming reached out and grabbed the edge of the dark figure, stopping his fall, and said, "Oh, so this is your scheme. And what kind of ability is this?"

"You vampires are pretty good, you have a variety of abilities."

Tonight's effort was definitely worthwhile; he witnessed many new tricks from the otherworldly realm. Although they weren't very useful, they still broadened his horizons.

Seeing that he was still unperturbed, Duke sneered, "You'll find out soon enough!"

Having said that, he immediately transformed into a shadow and enveloped Zhou Ming.

As the two shadows closed in, Zhou Ming realized that the spot he was holding was gone. He was completely swallowed by darkness and could not see anything around him, as if he had fallen into nothingness.

Duke's smug voice came from all directions: "This is inside my shadow. Pull people into my shadow, and I can unleash three times my strength here."

"But the enemy's life force will be eroded by my shadow, and they will become weaker at every moment."

"You're too arrogant. Facing a powerful vampire, you dare to lower your guard and let me drag you into my shadow."

"Someone like you, with sheer strength, has no right to stand in this world of the supernatural!"

Eroding life?

Zhou Ming checked his body's sensations with suspicion.

It seemed that some force was indeed attacking him, but it could only circle outside his force field and could not even touch his skin.

If he hadn't been observing intentionally, he really wouldn't have noticed.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Strength is strength. How can you have strength without substance? If you can't establish yourself, it's simply because you don't have enough strength."

"Still dare to be stubborn."

Duke sneered.

He conjured a giant hand in his shadow world, grabbed Zhou Ming in his palm, and then squeezed him hard.

He's going to turn this guy into mincemeat!

He wanted to see if this guy could remain calm in the face of his overwhelming strength.

Duke was already among the top A-class vampires. In the shadows, he could unleash three times his power, and he could crush even a building into powder in front of him.

Even a king-level anomaly, if dragged into his shadow, would be at his mercy.

Duke unleashed all his power, focusing it all on Zhou Ming.

The environment of the Shadow World and the tripled power made Duke feel invincible.

But only half a second later, he suddenly felt terrified.

It's impossible to squeeze! It's completely impossible to squeeze!

It was as if he were shaping an absolutely rigid body; even with three times the force, it couldn't cause the opponent to change in the slightest.

It's like a three-year-old trying to bend a steel pillar as thick as an arm.

How is that possible?

Is it...

Duke shouted, "Who are you, god?"

No one can be so at ease in his shadow unless they are a god.

Zhou Ming said, "I'm not some kind of god, I'm just a superman."

"Speaking of which, did you even try? If you don't have any other skills, then this is the end of the day."

Duke was incredulous to discover that the terrifying man had clenched his right fist and retracted it to his waist.

Seriously? Is this guy planning to attack the shadow with his fists?

Is he an idiot? Does he know that this is just a shadow, formless and intangible?

How can a fist break a shadow?

But... even though that makes sense, why does he feel so terrified?

A strong sense of fear gripped Duke's heart.

Don't face that punch head-on!

The thought popped into Duke's head; it was his intuition warning him.

This intuition had saved his life countless times when he was young.

As his abilities grew stronger, he hadn't encountered such a strong warning in a long time.

Now, he clearly felt that this was the greatest danger he had ever faced in his life.

He might really die!

Duke hurriedly jumped out of the shadows.

An absolute power erupted behind him.

He couldn't describe the intensity of that force.

His shadow world was shattered by this force, which then continued to wreak havoc in the real world.

Duke had just jumped his upper body out of the shadow when he clearly felt his lower body vanish into nothingness.

Truly reduced to ashes.

Because of the sufficiently high energy and the intense collision, the resulting high temperature had completely vaporized his lower body.

Then he discovered in despair that this force was breaking out of the shadow world.

His upper body was the first to be impacted.

He watched as his body disintegrated inch by inch.

In his final moments, he saw that power erupt completely in the real world, affecting half of the park. Trees and buildings on the ground were all destroyed, and even the ground itself was scraped away by the powerful force.

What kind of monster is this?!

Duke thought in horror, and then his consciousness went dark.

Zhou Ming stood blankly at the bottom of a large pit, his fist still clenched.

The sight around him made him wonder if he had magically traveled to a desert, otherwise why were the trees and buildings in the park gone?

Fortunately, the buildings in the distance and the screams that rose and fell reminded him that he was in Chengdu.

He looked down at his fist.

This damned power grew far too fast, catching him completely off guard.

The old vampire blew the shadow so powerfully that he couldn't help but take it seriously.

Worried that he wouldn't be able to destroy the shadow, he used more force, but unexpectedly caused such great damage.

That old vampire is really a menace!

Zhou Ming looked around dejectedly, but couldn't find the old vampire. He guessed that the old vampire had probably been destroyed.

He heard a large number of footsteps approaching from outside the park.

People from the vicinity of the park came to check what was happening.

Zhou Ming jumped out of the pit, quickly moved away from the park, circled around, and headed home.

It was already past midnight when I got home.

He sat at his desk, looking at his hands with a conflicted expression.

The strength of those hands was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He initially thought that the increase in strength would be only three to five tons per day, but later he discovered that it was more than ten tons per day.

The force of today's outburst cannot be explained by quantities of tens of tons.

Just how strong is he now?

The power is too great; it's really troublesome.
