Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1284 - 623:
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
But instantly, a terrifying spectacle began to unfold.
Countless dark blue buds erupted from the fissures in the fractured shell, surging outwards without delay.
They wriggled and coiled like voracious parasites.
In mere moments, the deep, bone-revealing wound sealed, reforming into a pristine, high-strength carapace.
Witnessing the opponent's bizarre, super-fast regenerative capacity, Fang Cheng narrowed his eyes, rapidly formulating a strategy within his mind.
A simple blunt force impact from a physical weapon couldn't deliver a fatal blow to such advanced biological tissue.
If it couldn't be shattered, it would be incinerated into nothingness!
Fang Cheng's gaze intensified, unleashing his full power without hesitation.
"Boom!"
An explosion of incredibly fierce, blazing golden flames erupted from beneath his skin.
The fiery air current swept outward like a tangible force, instantly vaporizing the thick mist.
Fallen leaves on the ground were carbonized into ash by the terrifying heat before they could even begin to smolder.
The masked figure's charge was abruptly halted, the pupils beneath the mask constricting to sharp points.
In his eyes, Fang Cheng no longer resembled a human.
He appeared as a fully erupting volcano, a sun prematurely rising in the darkness.
The brilliant golden flames possessed an immense heat capable of consuming all in their path.
The masked assailant felt an instinctive tremor and urge to retreat within the biological armor parasitizing his body.
What kind of monstrosity is this?!
Just as the masked man's mind began to falter.
Fang Cheng's calf muscles tightened suddenly, pulverizing the earth beneath him.
"Bang!"
Leaving only a ripple of sonic boom clouds, Fang Cheng transformed into a blinding streak of light.
He abandoned evasion, opting instead for a direct confrontation with the slicing bone blade.
Facing it with unrestrained ferocity, head-on!
The razor-sharp bone blade only managed to cleave through his afterimage.
Fang Cheng, his right fist blazing, had already delivered a thunderous blow to the masked man's jaw.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by the dull thud of fracturing bone, the resilient armor fractured further with an even deeper crack.
Fang Cheng's fist, infused with incandescent golden flames, struck with immense power.
Upon contact, it clung to the bio-metallic substance like a malignant ulcer, burning ferociously.
"Sizzle——"
Acrid green smoke billowed upwards.
The masked man's vaunted regenerative abilities proved utterly ineffective against this high-temperature devastation.
The dark blue buds that attempted to regrow were scorched the instant they emerged, even the internal nerve fibers rapidly withering under the intense heat.
The searing pain directly assaulted his brain, overwhelming the pain suppression system of his parasitic armor.
The masked man's face contorted, unleashing an involuntary cry of agony:
"How is this possible? He actually burned through my armor's defense system?!"
An unprecedented wave of panic seized his heart immediately.
This seemingly invincible shell had always been the foundation of his fearless approach.
Yet now, the golden flames acted like a living entity, greedily burrowing into the armor's cracks, scorching his flesh.
He frantically swung his bone-bladed arms, attempting to dislodge Fang Cheng, who clung to him.
However, his precise and deadly movements were now utterly distorted by the interference of pain and fear, riddled with openings.
The tide of the battle had completely turned.
In his berserk state, Fang Cheng's assaults were akin to a tempestuous storm, each punch imbued with explosive force and lethal heat.
He advanced relentlessly like an unyielding killing machine, brutalizing with every strike.
The masked man, completely outmatched, was driven back with each landed blow.
The armor on his upper body cracked in multiple places, exposing the raw, bloody tissue beneath.
The bone-deep agony finally jolted the masked man out of his frenzied killing intent.
His physical defenses were utterly shattered, and his proud regenerative ability was nullified.
If this close-quarters pummeling continued, certain death awaited him!
Fear ultimately eclipsed his pride.
Enduring a fierce, flame-wreathed punch to the chest, the masked man utilized the immense impact to propel himself backward.
Four heat vents on his back suddenly expelled a large volume of high-pressure steam, while wing-like exoskeletal structures vibrated intensely.
He ascended rapidly like a helicopter, soaring over fifty meters into the night sky in a single burst.
Hovering at a considerable safe altitude, the masked man drew ragged breaths, his chest heaving violently.
Scalding blood dripped incessantly from his damaged armor.
He gazed down at Fang Cheng on the ground, compelling a semblance of mockery into his still terrified eyes, attempting to mask the panic within:
"You are indeed ridiculously powerful, you monster! But your inability to fly is your critical flaw. Up here, I am invincible!"
Witnessing the scene unfold above, Ma Donghe desperately smacked his leg, a grimace of pain from his wound:
"Damn it, Ah Cheng can't reach him. How are we supposed to fight this?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Peng mustered his courage to cast his gaze skyward, his face etched with shock.
Grey Eagle, hands clamped over his head, remained buried in the dirt, terrified the two monstrous entities would detect his presence.
However, from his position at the bottom of the deep pit, Fang Cheng showed no hint of despair.
He lifted his face, fixing his eyes on the masked figure suspended in the air, and deliberately lowered his knees.
His thigh muscles coiled like potent cables, the wild heat within him surged like a burst dam, all converging beneath his feet.
Fang Cheng’s lips curved into a grin, revealing a set of stark white teeth:
"Who told you that one needs wings to touch the heavens?"
"Boom!"
The ground beneath Fang Cheng seemed to detonate in a controlled blast, the earth within several meters collapsing inward.
The immense reactive force propelled his entire form into the night sky like a powerful anti-aircraft missile.
The sheer force of his ascent sent dead leaves and stones hurtling more than ten meters into the air.
Even Ma Donghe and the others, positioned at a distance, were dusted and forced to scramble backward from the concussive wave.
The fifty-meter gap vanished in an instant.
The masked man perceived only a fleeting blur before Fang Cheng’s face, framed by a chilling smile, materialized directly in his view.
"How is this even possible?!"
The masked man cried out, his voice laced with disbelief.
Gathering power from his torso and back, Fang Cheng twisted his body with ferocious speed in mid-air, unleashing a devastating Whip Kick that connected with the masked man’s shoulder.
"Bang!"
The masked man’s stance wavered, his shoulder pauldron shattering upon impact.
Yet, he gritted his teeth, stoically absorbing the blow.
He understood the situation clearly.
Even with the opponent’s astonishing leap, once at their apex with no surface to push off from, they would inevitably descend.
At that point, the opponent would be vulnerable in the air, an easy target for him!
"Did you think I was going to fall?"
Fang Cheng’s voice echoed like a phantom near the masked man’s ear.
The masked man snapped his eyes upward.
He observed the stern-faced man not only failing to fall but astonishingly defying gravity, demonstrating an incredible ability to remain airborne.
He hovered at the same altitude as the masked man, his fists clenched, poised for attack.
"The performance isn't over yet."
In the very next second, Fang Cheng’s arm muscles swelled dramatically.
"Super Flame Machine Gun Fist!"
His fist transformed into a torrent of golden meteors, relentlessly pummeling the masked man.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang—"
A dense flurry of fists, akin to the rapid fire of a Gatling gun.
Each strike landed with pinpoint accuracy on the opponent.
A succession of brilliant golden fireballs detonated in the sky.
In a mere half-second, over a hundred punches were delivered consecutively.
Suspended in the air, the masked man seemed almost incapacitated by the ferocious onslaught.
Large fragments of his bio-metal armor dislodged, and dark green blood rained down upon the forest below.
His upper body armor was perforated, exposing charred flesh intermingled with blood-soaked inner tissues, a gruesome sight.
"Beep beep beep beep!"
The diamond-shaped crystal embedded in his chest began emitting an urgent, piercing alarm.
As its flashing intensified, the light grew steadily fainter.
A flicker of panic crossed the masked man’s eyes.
His energy was nearing depletion!
Once the core energy exhausted, the Reproductive Armor would be forcibly retracted into his body.
He would then be forced to face the onslaught of the humanoid T-Rex before him with only his inherently fragile physique.
That outcome would... undoubtedly result in utter annihilation!
