MUP: Chapter 115. Afterimage Strike

Stretching out a finger, Ryan gently touched Abomination's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, the expression on Abomination's face instantly froze, as if he had turned into a statue and stood motionless in place.

[Reputation points from Abomination +950]

"Damn it! What did you do to me? I can't move!"

Although his body was immobilised, Abomination's consciousness was still alert, and a questioning cry came out of his mouth.

His body falling gently, Ryan looked at Abomination, who was frozen in front of him, and replied with an aloof look on his face, "I tapped one of your Ki points to stop you from causing any more trouble."

The Bound Technique was a move Master Roshi used in the 'World Martial Arts Tournament' to stop Man-Wolf from moving and used hypnosis to turn him back into a normal human.

However, it was clear that Ryan was a bit delusional if he wanted to tackle Abomination with that move alone.

Abomination's body mutated through serum fusion. It had obviously produced great differences from normal people, so Ryan's Bound Technique had a shorter effect than he had expected.

Soon he noticed Abomination's thick, sharp fingers start to flex, and the otherwise frozen expression on his menacing face started to twitch.

Seeing that, Ryan didn't hesitate. He immediately raised his hand and struck Abomination in the chest.

Boom --

With a loud roar, the crowd saw Abomination's huge body fly backwards like an arrow from a string and smash into the street, leaving a huge hole.

[Reputation points from Abomination +820]

[Reputation points from Tony Stark +345]

[Reputation points from Hulk +400]

[Reputation points from Bruce Banner +450]

[Reputation points from General Ross +350]

[Reputation points from Natasha Romanoff +600]

Obviously, Ryan took advantage of Roshi's skinny appearance. The scene where he slapped Abomination was too shocking, resulting in a strong impression. Even without Ip Man's support, he gained a lot of reputation points.

Bang --

The huge, monstrous palm slammed hard on the ground. Abomination, who had regained control of his body, emerged from the pit. His dark green eyes malevolently glared at Ryan with a twisted expression. The pain in his chest made him think back to his previous encounter with the Hulk, but he was no longer the same ordinary man who was unable to fight.

"I'm going to tear you to pieces! "

Abomination's legs sprang up from the pit, leaving two deep, cobweb-like cracks in the ground as he landed. The bone spikes on his body grew sharper and longer as his emotions twisted with the brutal remark. Before long, Abomination had transformed into a dark green monster with bone spikes.

"Roar-"

Opening his mouth and letting out an ear-splitting roar, Abomination stomped down heavily. With a loud crack in the air, he was instantly in front of Ryan. He raised his spiky palm, covered with bone spikes, and brought it down with a vengeance.

Obviously, along with Emil's twisted emotions as a driving force, the power of Abomination within him grew stronger and stronger.

Of course, all that was manifested in appearance. His appearance was less and less like a human being.

Boom --

"What?!"

The palm of his hand slashed across Ryan's body, but the expected scene of flesh and blood flying around didn't happen. On the contrary, Abomination only felt a whoosh of air on his hand, and Ryan's figure disappeared as a blurred image.

"Afterimage Strike, one of Master Roshi's signature martial arts techniques."

On the other side, Ip Man continued his own explanation to Natasha, who was on the sidelines.

"Who are you guys?"

Noticing the figures of Natasha and Ip Man standing off to the side, Tony manoeuvred his armour, covered in scratches and battle damage, to their side and opened his mask to ask.

"I'm from S.H.I.E.L.D. You should be quite familiar with it, Mr Stark. I think the Director did come to visit you not too long ago."

"S.H.I.E.L.D..." When Tony heard Natasha's introduction, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He then turned his head to look at Ip Man, "What about him? Your partner?"

"No." Natasha shook her head. She didn't want to reveal any information about Peng Lai to Tony at the time being.

However, Ip Man took the initiative and said, "I'm from Peng Lai."

"Peng Lai?"

In contrast to S.H.I.E.L.D., Peng Lai, as Ip Man called it, attracted Tony's interest even more.

However, it was clear that the situation at hand wasn't suitable for such a discussion. So, with 'Peng Lai's' name secretly noted in his mind, Tony then turned his attention back to the battle at hand.

"Is the old guy fighting the monster one of yours?" Frankly speaking, although he had already seen Bucciarati's bizarre Stand abilities, looking at Ryan, who was fighting against Abomination and even gaining the upper hand, Tony's expression was still a little wary. After all, the two looked a little too contrasting.

"That's Master Roshi."

Ryan's ability to manipulate his clone's actions in the middle of a battle was a testament to [Master Roshi]'s combat prowess, which was worthy of his title as 'God of Martial Arts'.

Although Abomination's strength had significantly increased compared to earlier, there was still a gap between him and Ryan, whose dexterity was dwarfed by his opponent's movements. His huge and menacing size was particularly cumbersome at this moment, even if Abomination's speed was terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people.

He used 'Multiple Afterimage Strike' to dodge the barrage of unstoppable attacks. Abomination's hands were so powerful that each punch was dangerous; each hit that landed on the ground created small craters.

Seeing all that, the corners of Tony's mouth subconsciously twitched. If Abomination had shown such power just now, even with the protection of his armour, he couldn't guarantee that he would be standing here right now.

Ryan's figure turned into a series of clear afterimages and surrounded Abomination. His forms were so vivid that people couldn't imagine that those were all from martial arts.

Natasha glanced sideways at Ip Man beside her and said, "Master Ip, Master Roshi's moves are very different from the Wing Chun you use."

If Ip Man's Wing Chun was still a realistic martial arts technique that could be achieved in reality, then the martial arts technique that Ryan performed with the [Master Roshi] card was clearly beyond human capabilities.

A bitter smile appeared on Ip Man's face in response to Natasha's comment. He then explained, "Of course. These are the exclusive martial arts techniques the Turtle Sage uses; it's called the Kame Style martial arts. The only person who can perform them is Master Roshi, and it's extremely difficult for ordinary people."
