Chapter 287: A Punch with the Power of Twenty Thousand, Suffocating!

Chapter 287: A Punch with the Power of Twenty Thousand, Suffocating!

Chen Ye hadn't been paying much attention to the situation in Wano lately.

He couldn't be bothered.

Mainly because he had heard before that those who consumed the so-called "Hope Capsules" and transformed into monsters might experience an explosive increase in strength, but they would also develop monstrous features, frequently lose their sanity, become bloodthirsty, and indiscriminately slaughter innocent people.

Now, the entire upper echelon of Wano had turned into monsters.

Massacres of civilians by these creatures were a common occurrence, with no one stepping in to stop them.

A nation like this was doomed to destruction sooner or later.

Chen Ye was simply waiting for those Wano monsters to finish wreaking havoc on their own people.

Only then would he make his move—descend from the heavens as the embodiment of justice and deliver a devastating punch to that island, sending all that filth straight to hell.

This way, he could avoid being accused of "senseless slaughter."

Who knows? Maybe by then, the entire world would be grateful to him…

At this moment—

Chen Ye focused his gaze on Arena No. 7.

The match had begun.

The monster from Wano, resembling a vulture, moved swiftly, darting like a black shadow around Abomination.

Though Abomination possessed immense strength, speed was its weakness.

It couldn't catch the Wano monster at all.

In just a few breaths, Abomination's body was already covered in numerous wounds.

Only then did the spectators notice that the Wano monster had razor-sharp claws on all ten fingers, gleaming like blades.

After carefully gauging Abomination's abilities, the Wano monster finally unleashed its finishing move.

"Slash!"

Abomination's entire neck was severed cleanly.

Its head flew off, and its massive body collapsed with a heavy thud.

Whether it was truly dead was unclear.

After all, like the Hulk, it had a formidable regenerative ability.

However, since its head had flown out of the ring, it was naturally considered a loss.

The Wano monster secured an effortless victory.

…

Witnessing this, Elder Liu and Chairman Chen both looked grim.

"This Wano freak just displayed at least Tier-6 level combat strength," Chairman Chen remarked.

"The existence of something like the Hope Capsule should never have been allowed."

The ones who detested the Hope Capsules the most were naturally those with innate heroic talents.

They had trained relentlessly and risked their lives in secret realms just to gain a bit of power and gradually grow stronger.

Seeing the Wano monsters gaining strength without effort was infuriating.

Elder Liu added, "I know this monster. Not long ago, he was merely a newly advanced Tier-5 fighter. I never expected that in less than a year, he'd reach this level…"

Even Qin Muyin furrowed her brows slightly.

These Wano monsters were becoming quite a headache—even for her.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the bald man.

Seeing his calm expression, she relaxed as well.

If the sky collapses, the tallest will bear its weight.

Before, she had been the tallest one—so naturally, she had to worry about these matters.

But now, someone far taller stood before her.

What did she have to worry about anymore?

…

With most contestants forfeiting, the matches progressed quickly.

Before long, it was Qin Muyin's turn.

She stuck to her usual tactic—using telekinesis to hurl Abomination out of the ring, securing an effortless win.

Next up was Li Wushen.

Despite his seemingly frail frame, a single charge from him sent the massive Abomination flying out of bounds.

The spectators were left in awe.

Following Li Wushen was Ba Liming.

Unlike Li Wushen, Ba Liming opted for sheer brutality—slamming Abomination straight into the ground with a single slap, knocking it unconscious on the spot and claiming an easy victory.

Countless people were stunned.

Then, it was the bald man's turn to take the stage.

Seeing such a young guy dare to step onto the arena, many foreigners thought he was simply seeking death.

However, the moment that young bald man threw an unremarkable punch while standing still, every single foreigner instantly changed their opinion.

"Boom!"

Abomination, standing at least a hundred meters away from Chen Ye, instantly disintegrated into countless tiny particles, exploding into scattered remains across the arena.

And that punch—Chen Ye had only used thirty percent of his strength.

His current strength attribute was approaching twenty thousand points.

Even at just thirty percent power, his punch carried the force of absolute destruction.

Half of the arena had been obliterated by that single strike.

The entire venue was shaken.

Countless foreign spectators felt their hearts skip a beat in terror upon witnessing this scene.

Even the domestic audience was in complete awe.

"Why do I feel like this bald guy has gotten even stronger?"

"Yeah, this punch was even more terrifying!"

"I don't think so. Didn't he always finish fights with just one punch?"

"Damn! If he keeps ending battles with a single punch, we might as well give him a nickname—One Punch Baldy!"

"One Punch Baldy sounds awful. How about One Second Man instead?"

Similar discussions erupted among the domestic audience.

Meanwhile, foreign spectators were left dumbfounded.

"Holy crab! Did I just hallucinate?"

"No, buddy, you didn't. I saw it too… That punch was terrifying!"

"Who the hell is this bald guy? Did he exploit some loophole in the secret realm? Is he cheating?"

"Exactly! He must be cheating! No one should be capable of that level of power. Even that Mr. Li isn't this terrifying!"

"…Even if someone this strong existed, they should only appear in our America, not in Xia Nation!"

At the same time—

Inside a house in the Australian region.

Li Wushen, who had only just started to rest, saw Chen Ye's display and his expression changed instantly.

He sprang up from the sofa, knocking over all the drinks around him.

His gaze locked firmly onto Chen Ye's departing figure from the arena, his face filled with shock.

Despite always maintaining the demeanor of a lonely, unrivaled martial artist, in truth, Li Wushen could never tolerate anyone surpassing him.

When he had seen Ba Liming's performance earlier, he had merely shown interest, as if eyeing a promising prey.

But upon witnessing Chen Ye's strength, his shock was mixed with a sense of deep unease.

He couldn't understand why such a monstrously strong bald man existed in Xia Nation, yet he had never even heard of him before.

And more importantly…

The sheer destructive power of that punch was beyond anything he had ever seen.

Even he could only dream of matching that level of strength.

He was supposed to be the number one martial god in the world.

At that moment, realization struck him like lightning.

The one who eliminated him in last year's National Secret Realm Tournament was definitely not Qin Muyin or Ba Liming.

It was this bald man.

Thinking of this, Li Wushen clenched his fists tightly.

Everyone around him, seeing his expression, fell silent, afraid to utter a single word.

It was their first time witnessing Li Wushen look like this.

The First Round of the Global Championship.

It had taken only three days to conclude.

Abomination had been like an insurmountable roadblock, eliminating countless contestants.

However, many true powerhouses had emerged victorious.

Fighters like Xia Nation's Qin Muyin and Ba Liming, Australia's Li Wushen, and America's Ethan—there was no need to elaborate on them.

As long-standing top-tier experts, their advancement was expected.

But what truly shocked the world was the performance of the monstrous warriors from Wano.

Of course, when it came to sheer shock factor—nothing compared to the bald man from Xia Nation.
