What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

As everyone has seen, these psychologically twisted individuals still listed me on their book lists, calling themselves "testers." Later, thanks to the reminder from kind book lovers, it turned out that one of them had a recent paid reading record from 2017, when he was an apprentice in a Naruto fanfiction, meaning he had been a freeloader for three years; the other was a fellow book reader who absolutely refused to say what book he had written.

To be honest, those two are also my motivators. Whenever I feel like slacking off, I think of their faces and I'm determined to write a good story to slap them in the face!

However... I was actually quite nervous. The more I wrote, the more I realized my writing skills were lacking. I've been frantically working on improving my storytelling skills lately, hoping to present a better story to everyone.

So, gentlemen!

We've already charged into battle once and knocked down two shameless scoundrels, but now a new challenge lies ahead!

First order!

Subscription rate!

If the initial subscription rate is positive and the order-to-book ratio is good, this book will get recommended again! Only then can more people see the book, and only then can I convince my parents that I can support myself by writing books and stories!

I really hope everyone will support me!

Also, I'll be updating like crazy once it's released, at least five chapters! Maybe more!

On the morning of February 20, 2020

132. Pick a soft persimmon and try squeezing it.

As the hero livestream was continuously pushed to various platforms, the number of viewers watching this battle of A-level powerhouses skyrocketed, quickly surpassing one million.

Seeing the audience numbers continue to rise relentlessly, the "Hat King" couldn't stop smiling.

But then he remembered that his own sister was also among this group of A-level experts, and he secretly complained, "Sister Bao, didn't you come back to Lugang City for a vacation? Why are you getting involved?"

"Ahem!" Instructor Ge cleared his throat. "Changqing Street in Lukang City can be described as having suffered many disasters. Not long ago, the road surface was just repaired after being destroyed by the battle between Youji, the Demon Dragon, and the Prodigal Swordsman. Today, with so many A-level experts fighting, it will probably repeat the same mistakes."

"Some viewers may be confused about who is on which side in the confrontation shown on the live stream, so let us explain it to you briefly..."

The two commentators passionately explained the whole story to the viewers, while fans of the various heroes were tearing each other apart in the live chat.

The appearance of multiple heroes makes it easy for people to stir up trouble, especially since Blanche, who is quite popular, is in a "traitor" state. Some fans who are staunchly loyal to their idols started arguing with the haters.

"I knew Blanche was no good. Aren't there plenty of female heroes these days who pretend to be innocent and pure? The fact that her own company spent five million to put her on the wanted list shows what kind of person she is in private!"

"What kind of trash are you? Does our Blanche need you, a keyboard warrior, to be sarcastic and cynical? What blemishes has Blanche had since becoming a professional hero? How many people has she saved? My god, how many alien beasts and villains do you have to kill before you'll admit that Blanche is the most talented rising star on Planet Blue?"

"Speaking of who the most talented person is, I can't stand it anymore. Don't they know that only the most outstanding young heroes can be recruited by the Hero Association? All you mom fans, give our 'Explosive Girl' a bunch of gifts and let these third-rate heroes' fans see what a top-tier star is!"

"Um... does our hot and sour noodle superhero uncle not deserve to have a name?"

"roll!!!!"

When a fan of Hot and Sour Noodles Superman tentatively mentioned it, the fans of the three A-level heroes surprisingly put aside their differences and united on the same page.

Ahem, where are the fans of the Prodigal Swordsman?

These silly fans were spamming Q-version emojis of their favorite hero "drawing his sword and blowing the wind," which became a bright spot in the live stream.

On Changqing Street, when the Demon Dragon and his group appeared, the expressions of the Elemental Five froze completely, especially the Tree Shepherd, whose skin almost hardened. He stammered, "Boss... Boss, isn't this situation a bit out of the ordinary?"

Metal Knuckles' back was soaked with cold sweat. He really didn't expect the heroes of Lukang City to arrive so quickly. They hadn't even made a move, they had only said a few harsh words!

Moreover, the metal knuckles looked at the wandering swordsman with a blade of grass in his mouth and really wanted to complain: "Aren't you always late because of traffic jams? Why are you so punctual today? Are you targeting me?"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said guiltily, "We'll play it by ear later. These A-level heroes' target is definitely Blanche."

He whispered, "If these heroes don't want to let us go later, we'll retreat from where that guy is. He's the weakest!"

The metal knuckle duster pointed to the location of the hot and sour noodles superhero.

Red Lotus Gunner chimed in, "Boss is right. He's just a B-level hero, but these commentators have blown him out of proportion and made him into an A-level expert. It's good to graduate from a proper university. This big guy's strength is about the same as ours, but when it comes to making money, we can't even come close."

Ice Fangs said cruelly, "Boss, anyway, our purpose in chasing Blanche is just to become famous. Although this Hot and Sour Noodle Superman is not as famous as Blanche, if we kill him, we can still get some attention."

Frost Fang's words tempted Metal Knuckles. Attacking Blanche, who had made a breakthrough in strength, while surrounded by many heroes was a bit unrealistic. But what if she was just a "hypocritical" near-A-level hero?

It seems like taking him down wouldn't have been a wasted trip!

"Third brother is right, then we'll do him a job later! Let me say a few words to the dragon first, to let our Elemental Five make their presence known."

Taking a deep breath, Metal Knuckles knew even with his toes that the number of viewers for today's Heroes livestream would be staggering, which made him feel nervous in front of the camera.

"Lord Demon Dragon, the Sealed Sword is the prey of the Five Elementalists. Isn't it inappropriate for you to blatantly steal it?"

These words, coupled with the imposing appearance of the metal knuckle duster, do have a certain intimidating power.

"Oh." The dragon turned its head expressionlessly and said, "Do you have a problem with that?"

The metal knuckle duster felt the pressure increase, but still gritted its teeth and said, "There's a proper order to everything, isn't there?"

The dragon sneered: "Have you forgotten something? It's true that Blanche is a traitor who needs to be arrested, but aren't you Elemental Five also registered members of the Hero Association?"

Scales began to appear on his face, and his body grew larger. "So, do you think I'll let you go?"

Damn!

Metal Knuckles stopped acting tough. He originally thought that the Demon Dragon would be more cautious with the Sealed Sword present and wouldn't want to cause trouble. Who would have thought that this guy would choose to attack him first!

That Demon Dragon, as expected of a hero with the word "demon" in his title, his style of doing things is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

In fact, the Demon Dragon had planned to eliminate these superhumans from the beginning. His goal was to use Blanche to force out the Rooster.

The presence of these superhumans would undoubtedly add uncertainty. If, when he planned to capture Blanche alive, these superhumans killed Blanche by sneak attack for the 200 million reward, then his plan would be completely ruined.

Sensing the dragon's almost tangible killing intent, and without even waiting for their leader's earth-shattering shout of "Retreat!", the four B-level ability users simultaneously charged towards the "weakest" Hot and Sour Noodles Superman.

The hot and sour noodles superhero, who originally just came to make a brief appearance, was surprised to find himself becoming the last line of defense against these superpowered individuals.

Seeing the fierce glint in the eyes of these superhumans, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman naturally understood their thoughts and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. So... I've been taken for a fool.

"call--!"

The airflow was expelled from the lungs of the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman. If it were their previous selves, their choice would have been very wise.

The problem is, he already possesses the A-level inherited ability, the Eight Gates!

"Eight Gates Formation... Gate of Closure... Open!"

133 seconds?

Hat King exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!!!! Hot and Sour Noodle Superman, is this a new transformation technique? This time, his body shape hasn't changed, but his aura is completely different, and green energy has appeared around his body!"

Coach Ge also exclaimed sincerely, "It seems that this kid, Hot and Sour Noodle Superman, has completely broken through his limitations. From breaking free from the restrictions of Hot and Sour Noodle on transformation during the last battle with the Soul-Eating Rat, to now transforming without changing his body size, it can be seen that he has reached a new level in the development of his superpowers!"

He was also impressed by his former little brother. He had never realized that this cunning kid had such talent. Could it be that Hot and Sour Noodle Superman is really a late bloomer?

"By now, our Hot and Sour Noodles Superman can be considered 'unworthy of the name'."

Can he still be called the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman if he can transform without hot and sour noodles?

"However, even if his strength has improved, facing the combined forces of four B-rank heroes and one A-rank hero will definitely be a huge challenge! Go for it, Hot and Sour Noodle Superman!"

Two cyclones emerged from the nostrils of the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman. Opening five doors in one go caused minor damage to his body, but feeling the continuous power flowing from within him, he felt that the price was worth it.

He hadn't even used his full strength yet, but his fighting power had already surpassed his former self.

Seeing that Hot and Sour Noodles Superman didn't transform as usual, but instead struck a strange pose, Metal Knuckles secretly became more vigilant, but strategically still looked down on him.

After all, according to the official information, Hot and Sour Noodle Superman is still a B-class hero. No matter how popular he is, as an A-class superhuman, Metal Knuckles still has the sense of superiority that a strong person has over a superhuman of a lower level.

"What's more, you're facing the Five Elements!"

The five elementalists gathered together, their five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth subtly forming a triangular formation, subtly echoing the ancient legend of the Five Elements in the region. Their imposing presence was truly terrifying!

This is also why the Five Elements have been able to dominate Area 1 for so many years!

Upon seeing this, Bao Mei frowned and quickly rushed towards the location of Hot and Sour Powder Superman. Putting aside their previous relationship before being summoned, she couldn't just stand by and watch Hot and Sour Powder Superman be killed by these five elemental beings, given their recent experience fighting side by side against the Soul-Eating Rats.

After all, she was probably the most knowledgeable about Hot and Sour Noodle Superman's strength among all the heroes present; he had only barely reached the edge of A-level.

The wandering swordsman remained where he was, holding his sword with both hands, looking nonchalant.

He didn't go to support Hot and Sour Noodles Superman, partly because he was confident in the dragon's strength, and partly because he had to stay and keep an eye on Blanche.

Facing the lazy, carefree swordsman, Blanche didn't seem so hostile: "Swordsman, it's been a long time since we last met. I never expected that being 'wanted' this time would lead me to see some of my rivals from my student days again."

The wandering swordsman was a little confused. He spat out the grass in his mouth and said, "The Sealed Sword... Could it be that we've met before?"

Blanche: "..."

She never expected that such a pure and lovely blonde girl like herself would be forgotten by the wandering swordsman.

She nearly lost her grip on her sealing sword, and said angrily, "Is it really that funny to make jokes like this?"

She felt that the wandering swordsman was teasing her. She and he were clearly rivals in the quarterfinals of the Global Superpower Tournament. How could she forget that?

The wandering swordsman scratched his chin, pondering deeply before tentatively asking, "Could it be... that we went on a date before?"

"Boom...!"

Blanche's sword flashed red, her eyes were covered by her bangs, and a murderous aura emanated from her body.

Meanwhile, the wandering swordsman, with his pig-faced expression, was trying hard to recall the events, occasionally letting out strange "hehehe" laughs, completely unaware of what was happening.

The live-streaming aircraft began preparations from all angles; the real confrontation in this S-level disaster was about to begin.

Hot and Sour Noodles Superman stood quietly in place, sensing the flow of the wind. Every move of the enemy was pulling at the air that was invisible to the naked eye. This air, which was usually almost imperceptible, suddenly became a little sticky when he waved his hand.

This is because his speed has increased!

Metal knuckle dusters were the first to be affected. The Horcruxes he wore on both hands burst forth with dazzling golden light when activated by his supernatural power, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.

"Hehe, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman, you only have yourself to blame for not doing some low-level tasks honestly and instead getting involved in this mess. Your reputation will become a stepping stone for our Five Elements!"

"Boss, no matter what you say, our attack still came first!"

The Crimson Gunner smiled cruelly and fired three shots at the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman. Three fireballs the size of ping-pong balls shot out from the gun muzzle and grew larger as they approached the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman, reaching the size of a washbasin!

Sharp wood sprouted from the Tree Shepherd's fingers and attacked the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman.

The Earth Bear stomped on the ground, and a crack spread along the asphalt road toward the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman.

With a flick of its fangs, a massive frost monster materialized above the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman and roared as it lunged to bite.

The hot and sour noodles superhero stood still, his body not strong in its normal state.

Faced with these attacks, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and instantly disappeared from the spot.

"what!"

"How could it be so fast?"
