The demon monk in the second dimension

A menacing bald man has appeared!

The bald, caped hero is approaching me!

The great Saitama reigns supreme over his land!

Xia Zhi shook her head without hesitation and said in an extremely firm tone.

"It's human!"

"Humanity?"

Saitama scratched his head, his eyebrows furrowing as well.

"You don't seem like it. Are you a weirdo?"

Xia Zhi was so scared she almost lost her soul!

Seriously? Even though I eat demons and devour souls, I'm being stripped of my human status for this?

"It's definitely human!"

He pointed to himself and said righteously.

"Look closely, isn't this a human too?"

"Humanity?"

Saitama looked surprised, as if he had encountered something he couldn't understand.

"Your heart isn't beating, and you're not breathing, yet you're still human?"

Saitama pointed to himself and said matter-of-factly.

"Isn't someone like me a true human being?"

If all humans were like you, the world would have been destroyed long ago!

Hearing Saitama's reasoning, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and explained.

"With so many humans in the world, it's normal for people to stop breathing even when their hearts stop beating, right? Besides, my situation is due to cultivation. If you want to learn, I can teach you!"

"is it?"

The easygoing Saitama thought the explanation was plausible and believed it.

"Well, since they're human, then forget it."

But then, his expression changed, and he shouted at Xia Zhi with a fierce look.

"Wait! Why are you in my house? Are you a thief?"

"No, no, no, how could I be a thief?"

Xia Zhi shook her head repeatedly and quickly came up with a more plausible reason.

"Actually, I don't have much money. I heard that the rent here is very cheap, so I was planning to move here. I came to inquire about and check out the neighbors beforehand. I just saw that your door was unlocked, so I came in."

He changed the subject, hoping to steer Saitama, who was usually rather unreliable, away from the topic.

"But apart from Mr. Saitama, it seems that no one else lives here?"

"Didn't I lock the door? Well, I probably forgot."

Saitama thought about it for a moment, and realized that if he were to be careless, it seemed like he was capable of doing something he shouldn't have.

"After all, strange people often hang out here. So even though the rent is very cheap, not many people live here."

He looked at Xia Zhi and showed a friendly smile for the first time.

"Do you want to move in? I don't mind, it's nice to have a neighbor."

Saitama also has his own little schemes.

As neighbors, is it okay to occasionally freeload a meal or two?

I recently bought a new game, but I'm a little short on funds!

After a friendly exchange, Xia Zhi, who promised to move in as a neighbor, finally escaped the den of iniquity where the bald cape-wearing hero lived.

Standing outside the door, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.

I almost died!

Shocking! A young man in his twenties did this to a nearly 900-year-old man!

Xia Zhi understood from the concentration of spiritual energy in the air—lower than that of the Heavenly Realm but much higher than that of a medium-level spiritual energy world—that this was a high-level spiritual energy world!

It may have just completed its advancement from a mid-level spiritual energy world!

That was a warning from the world's consciousness!

He was telling himself through Saitama, "I've been watching you all along!"

If you do anything outrageous, then try the Bald Demon King's series of serious punches!

Without a doubt, in this world of advanced spiritual energy, Saitama, who has broken through the human limiter and repeatedly defied conventions, is the spokesperson and guardian chosen by the world's consciousness!

Judging solely from the strength shown in the story, Xia Zhi believes that Saitama, who can easily destroy a star with one punch, has combat power comparable to a Mahayana stage cultivator!

That is, the upper limit of the higher spiritual energy world!

Saitama is the pinnacle of combat power in this world!

The Heavenly Sage appointed by the World Consciousness!

Mom!

That scared the demon to death!

"So the world is risky, so be careful when traversing it."

Xia Zhi sighed, took off, and flew towards the city.

"Looks like I really have to move here, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might arise. Aren't you scared of the bald devil living right next door?"

"There's no point in thinking about it anymore now that things have come to this."

Xia Zhi looked down at the ground below and comforted herself.

"Is this the Monster Association's giant labyrinth down here? On the bright side, at least if we move here, we'll have a place to fight monsters, right?"

As a result, Xia Zhi hadn't flown very far when she was suddenly stopped.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft! I'm the helicopter weirdo who thinks humans aren't worthy of flying in the sky! No one else can fly in the sky except me!"

The person who appeared before Xia Zhi was very strange.

Bamboo dragonflies, or small helicopter propellers, were constantly spinning on his head, shoulders, and the backs of his hands, using this force to carry him through the air.

At the same time, his hands and feet are also shaped like propellers.

The bamboo dragonfly wasn't just attached to the object; it grew out of it.

This is a unique product of this world: weirdos!

"Watch my spinning dart!"

The helicopter monster waved his hands forward, and the constantly spinning propellers in his hands flew out, shooting towards Xia Zhi like a circular chainsaw.

With an unfriendly expression, Xia Zhi stretched out her right hand, grabbed the flashy dart, and crushed it with a bang.

"Saitama is one thing, but what kind of trash are you, daring to block my way?"

The next moment, Xia Zhi's figure turned into a phantom and arrived in front of the helicopter monster in the blink of an eye.

He unleashed a punch that instantly shattered the helicopter monster's body, leaving not even its soul behind.

Xia Zhi withdrew her fist, and her expression improved considerably.

"Phew, I feel much better now. It seems my happiness really does come at the cost of others' suffering!"

Chapter 120 Joining the Hero Association

This world is home to strange beings, either mutated from humans or non-humans, or as special intelligent creatures. They are categorized from low to high threat level as follows: wolves, tigers, ghosts, dragons, and gods.

Wolf: A dangerous factor has emerged.

Tiger: A potential crisis that could cause casualties.

Ghosts: A crisis that could paralyze or even destroy a city.

Dragon: A crisis that could lead to the destruction of several cities.

God: A crisis that could lead to the extinction of humanity.

By joining the Hero Association established by humans, one can be certified as a hero.

Based on their combat abilities and social contributions, heroes who join the association are divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C.

Heroes of each tier receive corresponding rewards.

As social contributions increase, hero levels can also be upgraded.

In addition, there are some people who have not joined the Hero Association, but are also fighting against monsters.

However, such heroes are not recognized by the Hero Association or the general public, and they do not receive subsidies from the Hero Association after defeating monsters.

There are many capable people in this world, and Xia Zhi does not intend to use the mind-control technique on a large scale, as it may be cracked or discovered.

At that point, his identity will change from human to criminal, or even monster.

Summer Solstice, which has attracted the attention of the world's consciousness, will surely see the arrival of the Bald Demon King, who will deliver a "continuous serious punch" combo to him.

Moreover, weaker Dragon-level monsters are at least at the Golden Core stage, while stronger Dragon-level monsters are comparable to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Spirit Division stage.

Xia Zhi estimated that at his peak, he was not much different from Boros, a god-level monster, when he went all out.

Eccentrics have no human rights; if they commit evil deeds and get killed, they can only accept their bad luck.

Xia Zhi plans to join the Hero Association so that he can not only strengthen himself with the flesh and soul of monsters after killing them, but also receive financial assistance in a normal way.

In particular, it can be used to gain the trust of the human side, and most importantly, the bald-headed demon king.

Broadly speaking, there's not much difference between a powerful hero and a superstar.

The number one A-class hero, the handsome Sweet Mask, is the most popular idol in this world.

Xia Zhi felt that with her face, developing in this direction wouldn't be bad, and it would greatly help in perfecting the Sword of Love in the "Demon Heart Sword Light Scripture".

Upon arriving in the city center, Xia Zhi spotted a girl holding a cell phone on the street, seemingly waiting for someone, and she appeared out of nowhere.

"Hello, how do I get to the Hero Association?"

"Huh? Oh, okay."

The girl and those around her were startled.

But when she looked at Xia Zhi's handsome face, she suddenly froze.

"Here, here."

The young girl showed Xia Zhi her location using her phone, and her eyes lit up as she asked him a question.

"Are you a hero? Can I get your autograph?"

Xia Zhi smiled at her.

"Not yet. I'm preparing to join the Hero Association. Maybe in a while, you'll see my name on the association's official website."

The girl nodded repeatedly, completely immersed in Xia Zhi's smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely cheer you on then!"

Having located the Hero Association, Xia Zhi flew in a straight line and quickly arrived at the Z City branch of the Hero Association.

Under the watchful eyes of those around him, he walked into the association and smiled at the receptionist.

"Hello, what is the procedure for joining the Hero Association?"

"Join the association? Aren't you a member yet?"

The receptionist, who had been wondering why she hadn't noticed such a handsome face among the heroes, was taken aback and quickly said something. She had initially thought Xia Zhi was a hero.

"The association holds a test every month, and those who pass the test can join the Hero Association. The next test is in a week."

"But I might not be able to wait that long."
