The demon monk in the second dimension

"100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day, with no air conditioning allowed even in the heat—what kind of crazy training regimen is this? How can someone become the world's strongest like that?"

Wuming, who had only reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment after all this time, was filled with questions.

"Apologize to those ascetics who undergo hellish training every day!"

After dinner, Xia Zhi took Wuming and Takatsuki Izumi to buy cell phones, select furniture, and purchase various household items.

Although there is a nominal landlord here, in this deserted area where you might encounter a monster at any time, no one comes to collect the rent.

Xia Zhi opened up her room and the room next door, and even the room downstairs, to expand the room's area.

Soon, the furniture and other appliances that the group had selected were delivered one by one.

To celebrate moving into her new home, Xia Zhi invited Qi Yu over and even brought several takeout meals from the city.

Braised eel, stir-fried duck with scallions, grilled beef steak, and quail eggs stewed with pig's feet.

Saitama's eyes lit up at the sight of so many delicious dishes!

The hot pot we ate the other day was definitely worth it!

Bald Demon King's favorability +30!

……

Through her conversation with Saitama, Xia Zhi learned that Saitama had just turned 25 last month.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to regret that Xia Zhi hadn't moved in a month earlier, otherwise he could have invited him to his birthday party.

Xia Zhi smiled and said it was okay, then took out a 500-gram box of premium beef as a birthday gift, and received a great deal of gratitude from Saitama.

The One-Punch Man storyline begins when Saitama is 25 years old. He has just celebrated his birthday and has not yet encountered the cyborg (x) or the housekeeping robot (√) Genos.

When asked about his birthday wish, Saitama took a big gulp of cola as if he were drinking a bottle of soda and said it to Xia Zhi.

"My biggest wish is probably to meet an opponent who can be my equal."

He spoke in a very Versailles-esque tone and with a melancholy expression.

"For over a year now, I haven't been able to find any opponents. No matter what kind of weirdo I encounter, I take them down with one punch—even though I'm being very careful with the power of my punches! Why are those weirdos still so weak that they get killed with a single punch?!"

Saitama is the guardian of the world's consciousness, so of course he is the strongest person in this world.

Unfortunately, this world has only recently advanced from a mid-level spiritual energy world to a high-level spiritual energy world, and there are not yet enough powerful individuals to emerge.

Otherwise, like in the Heavenly Realm, although Mahayana cultivators are quickly expelled by the Heavenly Dao, a dozen or so Tribulation Transcending cultivators combined can still hold their own against Mahayana cultivators.

To the point where he wouldn't be killed by Saitama with a single punch.

After seeing Saitama off, Xia Zhi pondered her actions in this world.

Although there are many strange people in this world, he has lost his Asura incarnation, so relying on numbers probably won't work.

Then we'll rely on quality.

Even among eccentric individuals, there are strong and weak.

Especially among Dragon-level monsters, the range is extremely wide. A powerful Dragon-level monster can easily defeat a weaker one.

Based on Xia Zhi's estimation, the materials that could be effective against him would have to be at least of the Ghost level.

However, similarly, only Demon-level monsters can mobilize S-class heroes.

Therefore, Xia Zhi felt that since she had become an S-class hero of the Hero Association, she should naturally fulfill the duties of a hero.

Monster-level material—no, weirdo—come to my bowl!

……

So far, Xia Zhi has only two eccentric groups whose addresses are known.

One is Dr. Genus's House of Evolution, which houses the Dragon-level monster Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, the Demon-level monster Beast King, the blood-sucking Mosquito Girl, the Armored Gorilla, and several other minor characters.

Of these, only the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle and the Beast King are effective against Xia Zhi. It's too troublesome for Mosquito Girl to drink her blood until she's full, and the Armored Gorilla mainly relies on its armor rather than its body.

However, the House of Evolution will come to you on its own later, so you don't need to worry about that.

The other one is the Monster Association under your feet.

The Monster Association has several Dragon-level monsters as its executives, Demon-level monsters are just henchmen that can be seen everywhere, and Tiger-level monsters are the lowest level of existence, like food.

Aside from the homeless emperor, who was granted superpowers by a so-called "god" but whose physique was just that of an ordinary person, Xia Zhi thought the other dragon-level officers were all pretty good.

Referring to materials.

Furthermore, it possesses a large number of demon-level monsters.

When the Hero Association and the Monster Association clash later on, many Demon-level monsters will be killed, which would be a huge waste!

Summer Solstice says, "Leave it to me!"

For the safety of the other heroes in the Hero Association, I will take charge of the Monster Association!

Then he received a call from Rie Koyama.

The other party spoke in a tense and hurried tone.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, a strange creature has appeared, with a disaster level of Ghost! I have sent the coordinates to your phone. Please go and defeat it!"

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi greeted Wuming and Takatsuki Izumi, opened the map navigation, and flew towards the coordinates.

……

In the urban area of ​​Z city, a giant yellow-green caterpillar, over 100 meters long and covered in spiky hairs, is wreaking havoc.

"I am a thousand-year-old caterpillar! Why, why can't I become a butterfly!"

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! It's all your fault, you despicable humans!"

It roared to the sky for a while, then lowered its head and suddenly launched an attack.

"Caterpillar spikes!"

Bang bang bang!

The caterpillar's spines, several meters long and as sharp as spears, were being fired by the giant caterpillar as bullets!

Ping Pong Pong!

The 10th B-tier hero, the Iron Shield Policeman, crouched down, holding his massive shield as tall as himself, to block a young couple and their child behind him.

"hateful!"

Feeling the immense impact from the tower shield, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"It's a Demon-level monster! My shield won't hold for long!"

Ranked 17th among B-class heroes, Spring Superman carries three middle school students who had arranged to go shopping together, dodging several javelins.

But others weren't so lucky.

The attack was sudden, and more than ten people lost their lives in the volley of javelins.

Huge spikes pierced their bodies. Some ordinary people who weren't hit in vital areas fell into pools of blood, wailing in agony.

Seeing this, the giant caterpillar laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha! Humans! I'll crush you like insects!"

Just then, Xia Zhi arrived at the scene.

Chapter 124 Seventeen Thousand Years Later, the Cicada Becomes an Insect

Summer Solstice, flying in the air, saw this giant caterpillar that made people feel uncomfortable from thousands of meters away.

Even the Heavenly Realm has never seen such a bizarre species.

After all, caterpillars either become butterflies or get eaten; how could they grow this big?

He made a hand seal and pointed at the clouds above the giant caterpillar.

"Lefa·Luo Lei!"

A white light flew into the clouds, and immediately a change occurred.

In an instant, a thunderclap resounded from the ground!

boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the enormous body of the giant caterpillar!

"Ahhh!"

This lightning strike is far more powerful than the palm strike that splits the water dragon.

After being struck by lightning, the giant caterpillar cried out in pain and curled up into a tight coil.

People nearby could also smell the odor of burnt protein.

After the summer solstice, place your hand on the caterpillar's supple skin.

A thin black film quickly spreads along this skin, enveloping the caterpillar that is paralyzed and unable to resist, and soon turns it into a black caterpillar.

Subsequently, the caterpillar rapidly decreased in size and was completely digested into Xia Zhi's body.

"ended."

"Got taken out? How easy!"

Seeing that Xia Zhi had taken down the giant caterpillar as soon as he arrived, both Iron Shield Police and Spring Superman showed surprised expressions.

"Wait, this person is our city's newly promoted S-class hero, Lightning Fist!"

To protect the privacy of heroes, few heroes reveal their names unless they give their consent; instead, they use their titles.

Cases like the S-class hero No. 2 "Tornado of Terror" whose real name is Tornado, and the B-class hero No. 1 "Hellish Blizzard" whose real name is Blizzard, are rare.

For example, Silver Fang, the third-ranked S-class hero, and Mumen Rider, the first-ranked C-class hero, are the majority of heroes whose names are not revealed.

Besides the two B-rank heroes, the others also discovered Xia Zhi.

"It's the Thunder Light Fist!"

"Lightning Fist saved us!"

"that is really good!"

Xia Zhi lowered her head, smiled slightly at the crowd with her good looks, which were just as striking as those of her readers, and instantly gained hundreds of fans before turning and flying away.

As he walked away, the crowd below began to murmur amongst themselves.

"He's so handsome! He's just as handsome as Sweet Mask!"

"He can actually control lightning, he's incredibly powerful!"

"As expected of an S-class hero! The Demon-level monster was wiped out in the blink of an eye!"

Soon after the giant caterpillar was confirmed dead, Xia Zhi's achievements were added to the Hero Association's list.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, a demon-level monster, a giant caterpillar, was killed in Z City.

These achievements can all be found on the Hero Association's official website; just click on Xia Zhi's avatar.

In this world teeming with eccentrics, no idol can rival the popularity of heroes.

Or rather, heroes are the biggest idols in the world.

Before long, Xia Zhi could feel the subtle wisps of admiration, as well as a touch of infatuation and affection, being drawn towards her.

……

Upon returning home, Xia Zhi did not immediately take action against the Monster Association.

He had previously been living in medium and low-level spiritual energy worlds. Although his strength had improved, his foundation was inevitably unstable.

For example, the most important thing for a flesh-and-blood cultivator is to use a large amount of mana to repeatedly cleanse their body after each advancement, so that every cell in the body is rich in mana, enhancing the strength and variability of the cells.

Ultimately, they can be reborn as long as even ten grams of blood remain.

Xia Zhi found an abandoned building, sat cross-legged, and absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the air, transforming it into magical power.

The cells in his body were ravenously consuming this magical power.

I sit for three days straight during the summer solstice.
