"Coming at you?"
Tao Wen turned to look at Banner, a little surprised. Natasha was indeed endlessly charming. In such a short time, she had already won Banner over, which was beyond his expectations.
Banner and Betty had only been separated for a short while. For Banner to move on from the relationship so quickly was a bit too surprising for him.
"If you're a man, come and hit me."
Banner shouted angrily, and at the same time, the wooden chair in his hand landed squarely on Tao Wen's forehead.
Crack.
The wooden chair exploded, turning into ashes and disappearing into the air.
At the same time, a pain appeared in Banner's palm, causing him to clutch his right hand in pain.
"A man? You, with a green hat, want to lecture me?"
Tao Wen couldn't help but sneer. The wooden chair was nothing more than a fan to him, utterly useless.
"You!"
Banner instantly thought of Betty. He didn't realize Tao Wen's words were because of Natasha. His breathing became slightly labored, and faint green lines appeared on his skin, mostly concentrated on his forehead.
"You're asking for it!"
Banner roared in anger, his body beginning to swell. His clothes were torn apart, dissolving into the air.
"Ding, random skill selection complete."
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the ability: Modified Zeal Strike!"
As Tao Wen coldly watched Banner transform, a system prompt suddenly echoed in his ears. Simultaneously, a unique sensation washed over him, and a powerful light surged within his body, accompanied by a feeling of warmth and holiness.
"Modified Zeal Strike?"
He was slightly taken aback when he heard the skill's name. He was familiar with this ability; it was the Saint Gun Ranger's second skill. Indeed, it was a powerful ability, but it was geared towards AP builds. His current development trend was clearly heading towards a semi-tank AD build, making this skill seem somewhat redundant.
Nevertheless, he opened his attribute panel.
Perhaps the Modified Zeal Strike will be different!
As he focused, data appeared before his eyes.
Modified Zeal Strike: Fires a bullet that explodes upon hitting an enemy or reaching its maximum range, dealing 80 + 1.8 * physical attack power in magic damage and marking the enemy for 6 seconds. Attacking a marked enemy will reveal their location within your vision.
Cooldown: Ten minutes.
"Wow, it lives up to being the Modified Zeal Strike!"
When Tao Wen saw the attribute box, a different kind of light immediately bloomed in his eyes. The modified version was vastly superior to the ordinary version, which relied on Ability Power (AP) for bonus damage. The modified version, however, dealt Attack Damage (AD).
With his current attack power of 205, unleashing the ability would directly inflict 449 damage, and it was an area-of-effect attack. This would significantly improve his performance in group battles. It was practically a critical strike with his normal attacks, and the cooldown was only ten minutes, meaning he could use it several times in a single fight!
With this ability, his ability to deal with ranged attackers would also be significantly enhanced.
"Really asking for it!"
Natasha coldly stared at Tao Wen. She felt a flicker of joy at Tao Wen's provocation of Banner. During their previous encounters, Banner had transformed into the Hulk once. She discovered that the Hulk's strength had increased again. After that incident, they developed a special relationship, and the Hulk held her in high regard.
A unique night had captivated her.
"Let the Hulk give you a lesson in life!"
A faint light flickered in Natasha's eyes. She believed that Tao Wen was no match for Banner.
At the same time, she quickly rushed to the wall, searching for her pistol. She had a few special bullets that she hadn't fired yet, and they would give Tao Wen a huge surprise.
"You came at the right time. You'll make a perfect whetstone!"
Tao Wen's gaze landed on the Hulk, who was in the process of transforming. A different kind of light flickered in his eyes. He could clearly sense the Hulk's strength increasing again, but this didn't make him flinch. Instead, a strong fighting spirit surged within him. His own strength had increased significantly, and he was no longer the same as before.
"He's truly a terrifying being, transforming from a gentle and elegant doctor into such a monstrous beast. It's truly astonishing!"
"My god, what a big guy! His… size is much bigger than most people, and one punch would probably turn an ordinary human into pulp. He's indeed even more terrifying than the Abomination."
"Tao Wen is doomed. I can't understand what those higher-ups are thinking. Tao Wen has made great contributions to S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"It's not his fault. It's just that his strength has grown too quickly, causing panic among certain people. Also, he's too short-lived and not suitable to be protected. Rather than pose a terrifying threat, it's better to let him be annihilated."
A group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents discussed amongst themselves, whispering as they watched the scene unfold. Many were in awe of the Hulk's power, while some were sighing over Tao Wen's misfortune. Facing such a terrifying monster, no matter how strong Tao Wen was, he wouldn't be able to defeat the Hulk. He was doomed.
"I said, you turned green, hahaha!"
Tao Wen laughed maniacally, jeering at Hulk.
This accelerated Hulk's transformation.
"ROAR!!!"
Hulk roared furiously, the terrifying sound waves echoing instantly throughout the entire space, whipping up a strong gale that chilled everyone around. They hadn't expected Hulk to be so terrifying.
"Die!!!"
Hulk had completely transformed, his eyes filled with intense rage. His blood-red eyes swept across the surroundings like a visitor from hell, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
At the same time, he spun around wildly and slammed a fist into Tao Wen's body.
"Argh!"
Under this punch, it was almost too fast, so much so that Tao Wen couldn't react at all. A group of people shouted, anticipating that Tao Wen would be severely injured by this blow.
"Hey."
Facing Hulk's punch, Tao Wen showed no panic. Instead, he grinned at Hulk, allowing the giant fist to land on his forehead.
Clang!
A loud explosion erupted, instantly echoing throughout the entire courtyard, like the clashing of metal, a booming, resonant sound.
After this strike, Tao Wen didn't budge an inch.
Hulk, however, retreated several steps and clutched his right fist in pain, roaring loudly, "Aaaah, it hurts Hulk!"
