Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

Inside the Hero Association, Byakuya pointed to Saitama beside him and said to the staff, "This is my friend. He has a record of eliminating Dragon-level monsters, but his brain has been damaged in the past few years. You should give him a strength test first."

"Yes, yes, yes." The staff nodded vigorously; Bai Ye had now become a key focus of the association.

It's worth noting that Bai Ye brought numerous S-class and A-class heroes to the association with just one sentence.

Furthermore, those people consider themselves Bai Ye's subordinates, which will be a huge force. The higher-ups at headquarters have specifically instructed that if Bai Ye makes any similar requests again, they should do their best to fulfill them.

"Who is the nemesis! Step forward!" A furious roar echoed throughout the association from outside, drawing everyone's attention.

Bai Ye turned around and saw a burly man in a vest, with well-defined muscles, standing at the entrance of the association, searching his surroundings with angry eyes.

"It's Tank Top Master, the 14th ranked S-class hero!"

"Why would he come here, and why does it seem like he's here to cause trouble for our nemesis?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that the 9th A-level vegetarian in vest was just carried away on a stretcher? He must have come to avenge his underlings."

……

The staff around him started chattering, which reminded Bai Ye that the hero he had defeated earlier was indeed wearing a vest, so he was this guy's underling?

At this moment, after scanning the interior of the association, the Vest Venerable's gaze fell on Bai Ye, and he walked straight towards him.

"You're the nemesis, aren't you? After causing a ruckus at the association and injuring a hero, do you still think you deserve to be an S-class hero?"

The Vest Venerable stared intently at Bai Ye, his muscles bulging, as if he were ready to attack at any moment.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you about this. The weak don't deserve my reasoning." Bai Ye said disdainfully, "You just want to fight, right? No matter how much I talk, I won't let you stop punching me in the face."

"Hiss!" The people around Bai Ye gasped as they saw his answer, their eyes lighting up, eager to see what would happen next.

Meanwhile, the Vest Venerable had already subconsciously clenched his right fist, preparing to smash it towards Bai Ye's face.

But before he could make his move, Bai Ye turned to the staff and said, "Hello, there's no need for the test arranged for my friend. There's clearly a better target here."

With that, Bai Ye lifted Saitama up and placed him between himself and Tank Top Master, saying, "Hey, Tank Top Master, if you want to fight me, you'll have to get past my subordinate first. If you can't even beat him, you're not qualified to face me."

Saitama, suddenly dragged into the dispute: ?

"You bastard!!!" The Tank Top Venerable clenched his fists. Bai Ye's words were indeed extremely sarcastic, and he felt his anger surging up.

Tank Top Master looked at the bald man blocking his way, while Saitama, who had witnessed Byakuya's attack firsthand, subconsciously waved his hand and said, "Hey, stop fighting, you can't beat him."

But the Tank Top Master was not listening to any of this at the moment. His large, fan-like hand was already waving towards Saitama, trying to slap him away.

But amidst the excited gazes around him, his powerful hand was easily grabbed by Saitama, who then stared at him with dead fish eyes and said, "Hey, don't rush, let me step aside first before you fight."

"Oh, he does have some skill after all. No wonder he had you stop me."

The Vest Venerable looked at the bald man in front of him seriously: "You mean you want to fight in an open space? There's no need. I didn't use any force just now. I can easily finish you off now."

"That's not what I meant, I..." Saitama wanted to explain, but the Tank Top Master, now completely serious, threw a punch at the bald man with 70% of his power, intending to knock him unconscious.

Then, in the narrowed pupils of the Tank Top Master, his earnest punch was easily caught by the opponent.

Saitama said with a helpless expression, "You don't listen to anyone at all."

Chapter 198 As everyone knows, Saitama isn't very bright.

Z City, Hero Association branch, Tank Top Master and Saitama stand facing each other.

"I really underestimated you. This bald face looks ordinary, but it can withstand 70% of my strength."

The Tank Top Master spoke with a serious expression, but his words had already stirred up Saitama's emotions, causing a tic-tac-toe mark to appear on his smooth forehead.

"You'd better watch out for the next punch."

Tank Top Master's expression turned serious, his back bulged, and he prepared to unleash his full power at Saitama.

"It's here! Tanktop Master's serious punch!"

People around couldn't help but get excited. Because of his superhuman physical abilities, Tank Top Master could defeat any monster in one move, and very few opponents could make him take things seriously.

"Don't you heroes ever listen to anyone?" After multiple unsuccessful attempts to communicate, Saitama had completely given up trying to explain.

"Tank Top Punch!" Tank Top Master roared, shattering the hard tiles beneath his feet and creating a massive crater several meters wide, propelling his body towards Saitama like a rocket.

The scene unfolded at an astonishing speed, making it impossible for most people around to observe. Saitama, however, remained completely unmoved as he looked at the fist before him and delivered a simple slap.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the Vest Venerable was sent flying without any warning.

After the people around reacted, they saw the tall buildings that had been smashed through by the body of the Vest Venerable.

Through the layers of holes that had been smashed open, one could see the unconscious figure embedded in the building.

"Impossible! An S-class hero, defeated in just one hit..."

Those around him stared in disbelief at Saitama, who was looking dazed, and at Tank Top Master in the distance.

"Oh, I see!"

Suddenly, a staff member clapped his hands and said, "Actually, it wasn't this bald guy who made the move. It was the nemesis behind the bald guy who saw that the bald guy couldn't beat him, so he stepped in to help."

"Yeah, yeah, that's it! How could this bald guy possibly have the strength to defeat an S-class hero? He's not even ranked among the heroes." The people around suddenly realized.

"Being able to defeat Tank Top Master in one blow, it seems that the Nemesis is very strong. He can definitely be ranked in the top 10 of S-class."

……

At this moment, the people around were talking excitedly, each letting their imaginations run wild.

But no matter how they speculated, they just couldn't believe that Saitama defeated Tanktop Master through his own strength.

Saitama stood there blankly, letting the people around him talk.

He didn't mind at all that his achievements had been taken by Bai Ye. He turned to Bai Ye with a slight smile and asked, "When will the previous hero certification start?"

"Slap!" Saitama's shoulder was suddenly slapped by a pair of hands.

Bai Ye, holding Saitama down, looked at the murmuring crowd with a somewhat gloomy expression and roared:

"Hey, what nonsense are you bunch of idiots spouting? That muscular guy in the vest was knocked down by this bald guy with one punch."

"You're throwing blame at me without any evidence, and now you want the awakened Tank Top Venerable to cause me trouble? Are you all trying to create problems for me?"

Seeing Bai Ye's gloomy face, everyone around him was utterly astonished.

Could it be that the bald guy really defeated Tank Top Master?

Because Saitama is so powerful, even a casual slap cannot be captured by surveillance cameras, so there is no evidence to prove that Saitama actually did it.

Bai Ye could only look helplessly at the staff member beside him and say, "Ignore what I just said and continue with the physical fitness test."

"Yes...yes." The staff member said softly, then called other people to repair the site damaged in the battle, and took the two to the testing location.

It was still the same place where the group of reincarnators had conducted their tests not long ago, and large areas of debris from the destruction had not been completely cleaned up.

Saitama entered the testing area under the guidance of the staff.

The onlookers who had previously been somewhat skeptical of his victory over the man in vests also gathered around, ready to take a closer look.

"First, jump around repeatedly for 30 seconds. Ready... Go!" As the counter gave the order, everyone around gasped.

Saitama's blurry figure appeared at the training site, his speed of movement astonishing.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye silently raised his camera to record the scene, preparing to post it online.

The Saitama being tested so far hasn't even unleashed 1% of his power; otherwise, the entire Z-City would have fallen under his feet.

However, Bai Ye is not planning to let him show his full strength for the time being.

The depth of thought is like flight; most mediocre people cannot take flight.

The higher a person flies, the fewer people can accompany them. And in the eyes of ordinary people on the ground who cannot fly, your figure becomes smaller and smaller, and it becomes harder for them to notice the existence of your thoughts.

The same applies to power; this is what is meant by "highbrow art is often appreciated by few."

If Byakuya were to activate his bio-field now, connecting the ground into a solid plate and allowing Saitama's power to be better unleashed, those netizens who witnessed this scene would not accept it.

Instead, they will use physical quantities to prove that Saitama's test video is photoshopped and that it's all a show because this scene contradicts their common sense.

Therefore, in order to allow ordinary people to see a glimpse of Saitama's immense power, sometimes it is necessary to slightly reduce the altitude of flight.

Before long, Saitama's strength test results came out, and the perfect score of 50 left no room for doubt. He was indeed terrifyingly strong.

'This is definitely an S-class hero, he's broken several records.' The people around couldn't help but think.

"By the way, he's actually not very bright."

Bai Ye put his arm around Saitama's shoulder and introduced him to the staff: "Don't be fooled by his strength. He actually uses all his intelligence to build up his muscles, so his score will be very low during the assessment."

'Very low? How low could it be? He just looks a little slow, not mentally challenged. As long as he knows some test-taking skills, he can probably get 4 or 50 points.' The people around him couldn't help but think.

But half an hour later, when they saw the written test score of 21, everyone almost spat out their soda.

"Is this guy out of his mind?" The surrounding staff all looked at this light bulb with strange eyes. They all said he was extremely smart, so how come it's the other way around?

"Could I see his written test content?" Bai Ye smiled at the staff member, who readily agreed.

Looking at the test paper, with a sense of "I knew it," Bai Ye took out his phone and snapped a picture of Saitama's written test.

Chapter 199 [One-Punch Man]

"I'm so sorry, your written test score was a failing grade of 21, but your physical fitness test score made up for it very well."

At the scene, the staff handed over Saitama's report card and said sheepishly, "All things considered, your hero ranking is only C-rank, 388th."

"Wow, does the written test account for such a large portion of the score?"

Saitama felt a little embarrassed, realizing he had answered very seriously based on the actual situation.

"It doesn't matter. The hero ranking can be improved by defeating monsters. With your strength, Mr. Saitama, it won't be long before you rise up."

A staff member comforted him with understanding, implying that Saitama was a mentally challenged person with great strength.

"Of course, this is all based on the premise that no one steals the credit." Bai Ye, who was standing to the side, silently added in his mind as he watched this scene.

After the two came out of the Hero Association, Saitama touched the back of his smooth head and said, "I have to thank you for today, otherwise I wouldn't have known that the Hero Association even existed."

"It's nothing, I was just trying to make myself happy." Bai Ye waved his hand dismissively and said, "But there's one more thing you need to know."

"whats the matter?"
