At that moment, the entire place fell silent.
The next instant, the crowd exploded in shock.
"What?!"
"How is this possible? Hulk's full-power strike didn't even leave a scratch!"
"And he blocked it so effortlessly—Hulk couldn't even hurt him, but was injured himself!"
"Now I finally understand why the higher-ups are so wary of him… he's basically a one-man war machine!"
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stared in disbelief. None of them could have imagined such a scene—it was utterly shocking.
Before this, they had thought Tao Wen's strength was only slightly greater than Abomination's. But now, they realized they had gravely underestimated him.
He had crushed Natasha and Barton with one hand.
And now, he could go head-to-head with that terrifying monster, the Hulk.
It was beyond comprehension!
"Get down!"
Tao Wen's cold gaze swept over the Hulk. Last time, Hulk had escaped, causing Tao Wen to miss the chance to knock him out and claim the fragment. This time, he wasn't going to let him go.
The moment his eyes locked onto Hulk, the Po Jia ability activated, its golden light descending upon the green giant and instantly weakening his defense by a full tier.
At the same time, Tao Wen's right fist swung forward, smashing toward Hulk with violent force.
Bang!
The pained Hulk tried to dodge, but to his shock, Tao Wen's speed had risen to a whole new level. Just as the thought of evasion flashed in Hulk's mind, Tao Wen's fist slammed into him.
With a single strike, Hulk was sent flying back more than ten steps, crashing into a wall. The wall exploded apart, turning to rubble.
"Raaaargh!"
The searing pain sent the red light in Hulk's eyes blazing stronger. His fury soared to its peak—and with it, his strength grew once again.
Pfft!
At that moment, a crimson aura flared around Tao Wen's body. He sprinted forward like a soaring stallion, his momentum unstoppable.
Just as Hulk raised his fist to strike, Tao Wen's figure crashed into his chest like a meteor.
Boom!
The tremendous impact sent Hulk flying backward. Tao Wen didn't pause for an instant—he charged in again, his fists flashing like a storm of pear-blossom rain, raining countless blows down upon Hulk's face.
Hulk couldn't even scream. He was being pummeled relentlessly, step by step, smashing the walls behind him into fragments.
"Oh my god! How is this even possible?!"
"How can a human do this? That's the Hulk!"
"I heard the reason he's so strong is because of some insane training regimen—every day he does 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, and runs 10 kilometers! After years of doing that, he reached this terrifying level!"
"Seriously? I have to try that!"
The agents stared, eyes wide, as Tao Wen beat the Hulk senseless. Their eyes shone with awe—and a few even started mentally taking notes of the "training method." Someday, maybe they too could become this powerful.
"RAAARGH!"
After being beaten again and again, Hulk's rage finally hit its limit. He roared and threw a massive punch to end Tao Wen's assault.
But before the strike landed, Tao Wen suddenly moved—his body twisting like a phantom. He dodged easily, his right hand snapping out to seize Hulk's arm. With a surge of strength, he actually lifted the giant clean off the ground!
Then he slammed him down with all his might.
BOOM!!!
The earth shook violently.
Cracks spiderwebbed in every direction, the ground riddled with holes and fissures.
"RAAAHHH!"
Hulk roared, struggling to rise—
—but Tao Wen's foot came down on his chest.
A burst of violet light flashed—then a thunderous bang rang out.
Hulk was pinned flat to the ground, unable to move!
The entire compound quaked, as if struck by an earthquake.
The ground caved several inches deep, with Hulk literally planted into it.
"RAAAHHHH!!!"
He continued to roar in defiance, but now it was like the cries of a trapped beast—powerless, futile.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tao Wen didn't stop. His fists blurred, hammering down again and again on Hulk's skull. His attacks were so fast they resembled beams of light, and with that flurry, the Jing Shi attack-speed enhancement activated.
His fists became afterimages, slamming down without pause.
The earth trembled with every blow.
Hulk's expression shifted rapidly—from fury to confusion, from confusion to blankness, and finally to pure white-eyed unconsciousness.
Boom!
With one last strike, the ground roared. Hulk's head lolled to the side, and he passed out cold.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Not a sound could be heard—not even the fall of a pin.
Everyone held their breath. No one had expected Tao Wen to knock out the Hulk in such a way. He was like an invincible god of war.
Tao Wen stood cold and calm, one foot pressing on Hulk's chest. Under the sunlight, he looked almost divine—like a god descending from the heavens.
Fragment +1.
As Tao Wen looked down at the unconscious Hulk, a line of data flashed before his eyes.
A blue light shimmered—5/5 fragments collected.
When the percentage bar filled completely, the blue glow burst into brilliance, shattering apart into nothingness. Then, a nebula-like vortex appeared in midair, spinning wildly before transforming into a thunderous column of light that fell into Tao Wen's body and vanished.
"Congratulations. Fragment collection complete. Beginning random reward…"
"You have obtained: Modified Beesting Scroll!"
The system notification echoed in his mind. On his nine equipment slots, a new item appeared—a deep-blue scroll, its surface blank and mysterious, like a heavenly scripture without words.
"Beesting Scroll? This must be the prelude to synthesizing Sanxiang Zhi Li!"
Tao Wen's eyes brightened with delight.
Everyone knew that Sanxiang Zhi Li—"Trinity Force"—was one of the most powerful items in LOL. It boosted health, attack power, and attack speed—an incredibly well-rounded equipment piece.
With it, his strength would increase across the board. The bonus attack alone would push his power to terrifying new heights—perhaps even enough to injure the Hulk with a single punch!
And this wasn't just any Sanxiang Zhi Li—it was the Modified version. That thought filled Tao Wen with anticipation.
"I wonder what kind of power this Modified Beesting will have…"
A flicker of excitement crossed his eyes as he gazed at the scroll glowing in his system window.
He couldn't wait to see what made this version different.
