441: The Eighth Punch
Three hours.That was how long it dragged on.By the time the twin suns had shifted slightly in the sky, Kai’s breathing was ragged, chest rising and falling like a bellows on the verge of tearing apart.Sweat poured down his face, soaking the ground beneath his feet. His arms trembled uncontrollably, muscles screaming in protest, and bones humming with a dull, dangerous ache.And yet, the Iron Buffalo still lived.It was no longer charging with the same terrifying dominance. Its steps were uneven now, one of its legs clearly fractured, blood seeping from deep cracks in its iron-like hide. One of its three eyes had gone dull, the pupil shattered from repeated impacts. But even like this, it refused to fall.Its life force was stubborn and vicious. The kind that didn’t understand retreat.Every time Kai completed the seventh punch, the same thing happened. The power peaked, spread, battered the beast… and then collapsed. He would instinctively dispel the technique to stop his body from
442: Weakest Human Alive
Zora yawned and it was not the polite kind, it was the exaggerated, jaw-stretching, absolutely disrespectful kind, like what you’d do in front of someone who had just crawled out of hell and called it a warm bath.“Tsk,” she muttered as she stretched, dusting imaginary dirt off her clothes. “Lazy. Brainless. Humans.”Kai was still on the ground, staring at the sky like it had personally offended him. His chest rose and fell violently, limbs spread out as if the earth had finally claimed him.Then something hit his face.Smack.“Ow...what the hell...”A pill rolled down his cheek and landed near his ear.“Eat,” Zora said lazily. “Unless you plan to die here and fertilize the grass. That buffalo already did its part.”Kai squinted at the pill like it might explode, then sighed and shoved it into his mouth. The effect was immediate.Warmth surged through his body, violent but controlled. His muscles relaxed, his breathing steadied, bones hummed as energy refilled him like someone pouring
443: Meat
The moment they stepped back into the villa, the quiet atmosphere shattered.Abigail and Emily, who had been sitting around pretending not to worry while absolutely worrying, stood up at the same time. Their eyes moved from Kai… then slowly downward… then widened in unison when they saw what he was carrying.A massive corpse.A three-eyed Iron Buffalo.Its body alone nearly filled half the living room doorway, thick hide still faintly gleaming like metal under the villa lights, horns sharp and curved, dried blood crusted along its skull.For half a second, neither of them spoke.Then, without any warning or dramatic buildup, Kai walked two more steps in, loosened his grip, and dropped the entire beast on the marble floor with a heavy BOOM that made the walls tremble.“I’m going to sleep,” he said flatly, already turning around.Abigail’s mouth opened.Emily’s brain stopped.Zora scoffed loudly from behind him. “Look at him. Drag one little buffalo back and he’s acting like he climbed
444: Gluttony
Emily blinked, looking more genuinely confused.She looked at the plates. Then at Zora. Then back at Kai and Abigail.Something was clearly wrong, but no one was explaining it.Kai had already warned her flatly, without emotion, that saying anything would be pointless. Abigail hadn’t even bothered reacting, which in itself was a warning sign. So Emily swallowed whatever question was forming on her lips and stayed quiet, choosing observation over protest.And what she saw was… unsettling.Zora now sat before what could only be described as a mountain of meat, posture relaxed, back straight, and movements elegant. Emily wondered how she'd got more meat just now. Zora continued to eat without urgency yet without pause, as though the concept of fullness didn’t exist for her. Each bite vanished smoothly, rhythmically, like food being fed into a bottomless abyss. There was no mess. No haste. Just an almost graceful efficiency that made Emily feel vaguely threatened on a spiritual level.Is
445: The Calm Before the Pain
Kai burst out laughing the moment Emily whispered her question, the sound sharp and unrestrained, like someone who had long given up pretending life made sense around Zora.“If she really went all out,” he said casually, waving a hand as though he were talking about the weather, “even if you piled both our families' resources together, cooked them properly, and served them with seasoning, it still wouldn’t be enough to fill her.”Emily stiffened. “That’s… that’s not comforting.”“I know,” Kai nodded solemnly. “That’s the point.”He leaned back, resting his hands behind his head, eyes drifting toward the empty ground where the buffalo had once been. “She’s basically a walking void. Bottomless. Endless. I honestly want to see the day she actually says she’s full. That alone might end the world.”From the side, Abigail snorted softly, clearly used to Kai’s matter-of-fact exaggerations when it came to Zora.As if summoned by the mention of her name, Zora rubbed her stomach lazily and stoo
446: Into the Green Hell
Morning arrived far too quickly.Kai barely had time to splash water on his face before the door exploded open.“MOVE...!”The shout came like thunder, followed by a string of curses so creative and venomous that Kai briefly wondered if Zora had invented a new language overnight.He hadn’t even fully processed what was happening before a violent force grabbed reality by the collar and yanked all of them forward.The villa vanished, the world twisted and then humidity.Thick, suffocating humidity slammed into them.Kai staggered slightly, boots sinking into damp earth, the smell of wet soil, rotting leaves, and ancient trees filling his lungs. He straightened immediately, eyes scanning the surroundings on instinct.Towering trees rose in every direction, their canopies interlocking so densely that even daylight struggled to push through. Vines hung like lazy serpents from branches thicker than buildings. The air buzzed with unseen life, chirps, growls, distant screeches, things crawlin
447: No More Wasted Potential
Soon, the scenery around them shifted again.The dense rainforest faded away like mist being wiped from glass, replaced by a wide valley stretching endlessly before their eyes.Jagged cliffs rose on both sides, their surfaces etched with strange patterns that looked less like erosion and more like ancient scars. The ground was dry and cracked in places, yet spiritual energy pulsed faintly beneath it, slow and heavy, like something breathing in its sleep. Above them, the twin suns hung high, casting long shadows that made the valley feel both vast and oppressive.Zora stopped walking.Abigail halted beside her, already sensing that this place wasn’t chosen randomly.Kai lingered a little farther back, arms crossed, instinctively scanning the surroundings, but Zora didn’t spare him a glance this time. Her attention was fully on Abigail.Zora turned slowly, eyes sharp, unreadable.“Do you know why I brought you here?” she asked.Abigail shook her head. “No.”Zora scoffed softly. “Of cour
Chapter 448: Improved Technique
Again, the world twisted.One moment, Kai felt the familiar pull behind his navel, that strange sensation like reality being folded and refolded around him, and the next, his boots crunched against dry grass. Warm wind brushed against his face, carrying the scent of dust and beasts. Two suns hung lazily in the sky, bathing the land in golden heat.The savannah.Kai didn’t even need to look around properly. He already knew where they were.Zora stood a few steps ahead, hands behind her back, staring across the endless stretch of land dotted with distant herds and rolling plains. After a few seconds, she let out a long sigh, the kind that sounded like someone deciding what to eat rather than where to wage war.“I want to feast today,” she said casually.Kai twitched. That sentence alone never meant anything good for him.Zora turned slightly, her eyes glinting with interest. “We’ll be changing targets this time.”Kai swallowed. “That… doesn’t sound comforting.”She ignored him completel
449: A Carnolion.
Just as Kai had expected, Zora was soon back.He sensed her before he saw her, the faint distortion in the air, the subtle pressure that always accompanied her presence, like reality itself was bracing.Kai didn’t stop his practice when it happened. His fists continued to move, steady and deliberate, each punch flowing into the next, his breathing controlled, his focus locked entirely on the Octane Fist.Then a shadow fell over the ground.Kai glanced up.Zora stood a short distance away, arms crossed casually, and cradled in one arm was a beast that immediately made his instincts scream. It wasn’t small. It wasn’t cute. And it definitely wasn’t harmless.The creature had the powerful, corded body of a lion, muscles layered thick beneath its hide. Its forelimbs ended in long, curved claws that gleamed faintly, sharp enough to tear through steel. Its movements, even while restrained, were unnervingly smooth, carrying the coiled speed of a tiger ready to explode forward at any moment.A
450: Smart Prey.
Hearing and observing this, Kai straightened up slowly.The casual looseness in his posture vanished, replaced by something sharp and grounded. His shoulders rolled once, joints popping faintly, breath steadying as his gaze locked onto the beast by Zora’s side. The Carnolion stared back at him, eyes glowing with predatory intelligence, muscles rippling beneath its hide as if it had already decided how this would end.Just as Kai expected, Zora didn’t bother with warnings.She patted the Carnolion’s head lightly, and almost affectionately.The change was instant.The docility vanished instantly. The Carnolion’s pupils shrank, its muscles coiled, and the next moment it exploded forward, the ground cracking beneath its paws as it dashed toward Kai with terrifying speed, claws carving grooves into the earth.Zora burst out laughing behind it. “Ahhh, there it is! See? You thought it was broken. Stop looking so betrayed.”Kai didn’t respond.His mind snapped into focus.This wasn’t a spar a
