The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

Even now, Garou still has one trump card up his sleeve that he hasn't used.

That is the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist.

After Garou was expelled from the dojo by Bang, he sealed away this martial art because every time he used the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, he couldn't help but think of Bang's face.

To avoid unintentionally using the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, this is why Garou chose to forfeit in the final.

However, at this point, Garou had no other choice.

Only by choosing to use the Flowing Rock Smash Fist could he possibly turn the tide of the battle.

"How many ribs are broken?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"I absolutely must claim the title of 'strongest on Earth' for myself."

The pain in his body did not deter the hungry wolf; instead, it excited him even more.

He exerted his strength again, leaped out of the hole in the wall, returned to the ground, and stood in front of King.

King wasn't surprised to see that the wolf was still capable of fighting.

Garou carefully observed King, recalling how King fought the Water Dragon earlier, trying to find his own advantage.

His greatest advantage is his mastery of martial arts.

Although King displayed extraordinary strength, Garou, being a martial artist, clearly understood that martial arts could completely compensate for the disadvantage of physical strength.

Especially the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, which combines both hardness and softness.

After observing King during the day, Garou was certain that King was completely ignorant of martial arts and that he had only relied on his speed advantage to catch the opponent's punches when fighting Suiryu.

"Although you attended the martial arts tournament, it seems you actually know nothing about martial arts."

The corners of the hungry wolf's mouth turned up slightly as he took a deep breath, filling his lungs with air and giving his muscles strength again.

At the same time, the wolf's hand movements changed; his fingers, which were originally spread out like claws, were now brought together.

King's gaze shifted to the wolf's hands. He felt they looked familiar, but couldn't quite place them.

"Take this!"

In the instant King was stunned, Garou's hands began to move with incredible speed.

Afterimages appeared on his arms, and for a moment it was as if the hungry wolf had hundreds of arms.

Moreover, the fastest fingertips rubbed against the air, and in a daze, even blue fist shadows like flowing water appeared, like countless surging rivers.

This is the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist!

This is Bang's strongest original move. He can use the opponent's force against them and deflect all attacks back, truly demonstrating the power of using minimal force to overcome great strength.

As long as King launches an attack, Garou is confident that he can return the attack in full.

"What a troublesome fellow."

"Bangu actually produced such a disciple."

"I don't know what you're doing, but you've ruined my clothes, so you'll have to pay for it."

King looked at Garou, who was using the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, and said calmly.

At the same time, King extended his right index finger.

Magic rapidly gathered on his index finger.

In that instant, blazing flames enveloped his arm and moved swiftly, finally coalescing on his index finger.

The surrounding temperature rose instantly, and the air around King's right hand began to distort due to the high temperature.

King, who possesses the Escanor template, has already mastered all of Escanor's moves.

During the martial arts tournament, due to the constraints of the rules and in order to increase his reputation, King did not reveal the side of the Sun Magic in his Pride template, but simply overwhelmed the Water Dragon with his absolute physical strength.

Now that King is free from such constraints, he can freely use Escanor's power.

Chapter 40: Hungry Wolf, You're Not Pure Enough!

"what?!"

The hungry wolf's eyes widened suddenly; what was happening before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations.

After witnessing King's battle with the Water Dragon, he initially thought King was simply a tanky hero, never imagining that King possessed such superpowers.

Garou knew King was strong, but he never expected that King had hidden so many things during the martial arts tournament.

He then realized that he knew far too little about King.

"Is this guy actually a superhuman?"

The hungry wolf's heart suddenly raced, and his back was covered in sweat. He didn't know if it was because of his nervousness or the rising temperature in the air.

"Although there are no more restrictions, I did promise Bang that I would spare your life."

"I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

"Please don't die, that would put me in a difficult position."

King said slowly.

"How arrogant! Can you even do that?!"

Although the hungry wolf was already uncertain, the pressure he felt only excited him more.

"I'm about to add another achievement to my record: defeating a superhero!"

His heart was beating faster and faster, almost bursting out of his chest.

Hungry Wolf struck first. He swung his arm and unleashed the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist at King.

"The Holy Lance Escanor".

King whispered, as if reciting a eulogy for a demon from hell.

Then, in the next instant, his right finger gun suddenly thrust out, the explosive force destroying the surrounding walls.

The blazing flames danced like a dazzling shooting star due to King's rapid movements.

With the aid of magic, King's finger gun moved at incredible speed, tearing through the air and creating sonic booms.

King's thrusting arm created a gust of wind, making it difficult for Garou to maintain his balance for a moment.

Garou immediately adjusted his center of gravity and launched the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, trying to deflect King's attack back.

However, when Garou's fingertips touched King's arm, he sensed something was wrong.

This guy's arm was as heavy as a mountain. Even when he used the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, he couldn't move the other's arm at all.

It's like a tiny ant trying to lift a towering mountain.

Before King could even attack him, Garou could feel an unbearable burning sensation.

At this moment, Garou was extremely panicked. He couldn't understand why the Flowing Rock Smashing Fist had no effect.

Although Garou knew that his martial arts skills were still somewhat lacking compared to his master Bang, he believed that his own strength was not weak either, and he was even confident that he could defeat an S-class hero.

Garou wanted to fight King not only to prove his strength, but also to further improve his skills by fighting different enemies.

Even after witnessing the battle between Suiryu and King, Garou still had considerable confidence in his own strength.

But in the end, Garou realized that he was no match for King at all, and didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The experience of this battle was of no educational value to him whatsoever.

Martial arts can be effective against most enemies.

But King is one of those few.

Martial arts were of absolutely no use to him.

Even Bang's Water Stream Rock Smash Fist is no exception.

In the face of an absolute power disparity, martial arts are meaningless.

The hungry wolf desperately tried to control his body and move backward, wanting to dodge the attack, knowing how terrifying its power was.

But it was too late.

In the next instant, King's index finger struck the hungry wolf.

The immense impact flipped the hungry wolf over, and the sudden pain spread throughout his body, making him realize that he didn't have many intact bones left.

It felt as if a meteorite had struck his body, crushing every bone in his body.

He flew out like a ball, smashing through several layers of walls before finally coming to a stop, leaving a huge crater in the ground.

The hungry wolf had completely lost consciousness and was unconscious.

King shook his head as he looked at the unconscious wolf on the ground.

Just then, he seemed to realize something and turned to look around.

His attack just now almost completely destroyed the surrounding buildings...

Although as an S-class hero, the Hero Association should definitely compensate for such losses...

But what King cared about most at that moment was his home.

When he attacked the hungry wolf, he didn't consider his own home at all.

When King came to his senses, he realized that his home was among the layers of walls that the wolf had just passed through!

"No!"

King rushed into his room to check if his beloved game disc was damaged.

A game console can be repaired if it breaks, and a controller can be bought again if it breaks, but if some discs are lost, it means that the save data he has spent a lot of time and effort creating will be lost.

For King, there is nothing more important in this world than games.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

King looked around and realized that he couldn't stay here tonight. He took out a backpack and quickly put all his game discs and several undamaged handheld consoles into it before carrying it on his back.

"Bang shouldn't be back at the gym yet. He said he had to go to the Hero Association first, so we can hand this guy over to him."
