"Watch out!"
Although Peter knew Tao Wen was strong, he still couldn't help shouting when he saw that scene, trying to warn Tao Wen to dodge.
The hearts of the other men and women around were all in their throats, afraid that Tao Wen might not be a match for that terrifying lizard monster.
Bang!
Facing that horrifying attack, Tao Wen's expression remained calm. He thrust out his right hand sharply and struck forward.
With a thunderous boom, the two forces collided.
The terrifying impact made the ground tremble violently.
Tao Wen had taken the blow head-on.
Fragment +1
As the fragment merged into the percentage meter, it instantly became /4.
The giant lizard's tail was flung backward, its massive body overturned by the force and sent crashing into a motorcycle. The bike was smashed to pieces, debris scattering everywhere, leaving the place a complete wreck.
A man shouted angrily—his beloved motorcycle was gone for good.
"Wow! Amazing!"
Peter cheered in excitement, waving both hands like a total fanboy.
"As expected of such a powerful superhero! Absolutely incredible!"
"Beat it up! Smash that lizard monster! Make it regret ever being born!"
"So handsome! Knock it down! I'd have your babies!"
"Get lost! I'm the one who'll have his babies!"
Men and women alike shouted in delight, cursing the lizard monster while cheering wildly for Tao Wen's show of strength.
Roar!
After being struck down, Dr. Lizard gradually regained his senses, rage burning within him. These weak humans dared to mock him?
Kill.
He would destroy everything before him.
The Lizard Doctor roared furiously, rolling to his feet and lunging again at Tao Wen, his sharp claws slashing straight for Tao Wen's head.
"It's my turn to attack."
Tao Wen didn't retreat; instead, he charged forward. His right fist swung upward, meeting the Lizard Doctor's claw head-on.
Boom!
The punch and claw collided with an explosive sound.
With a deafening crash, the Lizard Doctor was sent flying once more, smashing through a wall that crumbled into dust, the debris rising into the air like a storm of powder.
Fragment +1
Another fragment was added to the tally.
"Got the loot!"
Tao Wen's eyes gleamed with excitement. He had already gauged the Lizard Doctor's strength—just slightly stronger than Abomination. He had only used about thirty percent of his power to send him flying. Clearly, the Lizard Doctor wasn't all that tough.
Striding forward, Tao Wen leapt high into the air and kicked straight at the monster's chest.
The terrifying power tore through the air with a sonic boom.
Roar!
After that last exchange, the Lizard Doctor already knew he wasn't Tao Wen's match. Seeing him charge again, he swung his massive tail toward Tao Wen in desperation, trying to block the attack—and also looking for a chance to escape.
Bang!
But he had still underestimated Tao Wen's strength.
And luck wasn't on his side either.
When Tao Wen unleashed eighty percent of his power, the Cloak of Agility's critical strike effect triggered again.
A burst of violet light flared as a surge of violent power slammed into the Lizard Doctor's body.
The tremendous force sent the enormous creature hurtling through the air, smashing through the bridge railing before plunging wildly into the river below.
"He beat it!"
"Wow! He won!"
"So handsome! Even stronger than Iron Man! Hero, I love you!"
A chorus of cheers erupted from the crowd, overjoyed that Tao Wen had ended the crisis.
"So cool!"Peter said sincerely, his eyes wide with awe. Tao Wen's power was beyond human comprehension. The thought that he might one day become that strong filled him with excitement.
"Guess I overdid it a little…"
Tao Wen rubbed his nose awkwardly. He'd meant to pin the Lizard Doctor down and pummel him to farm the remaining fragments and skill shards—and maybe even recruit him later. But things had gone a bit differently than planned.
He'd have to rethink his strategy.
Fragment +1
At that moment, new data appeared before his eyes. As it merged into the percentage bar, it read 4/4.
The meter shone with a dazzling blue light like a radiant sun, brilliant and ethereal, as though it belonged to some divine realm.
As it rose into the air, it suddenly burst apart like a beautiful firework—gorgeous and blinding.
The descending blue light condensed into a streak of energy that flowed into Tao Wen's body, wrapping him in a faint blue halo that shimmered mysteriously.
"Congratulations. Fragment collection complete. Beginning random reward…"
'Magic-Modified Blue Crystal' obtained!
"As expected—this is part of forming the Trinity Force!"
Seeing the ninth item appear in his inventory, Tao Wen's eyes sparkled. He had already suspected this before, and now it was confirmed.
He was very pleased with the new crystal.
The Blue Crystal greatly increased the number of times he could unleash his abilities. Originally, he could only use them twice—now the number would surely rise.
"Let's see what's special about this magic-modified version."
His gaze fell on the Blue Crystal as he examined its properties.
A data line appeared before his eyes:
Magic-Modified Blue Crystal:+500 Mana Points
"As expected, the modified version is extraordinary!"
A thrill of joy rose in Tao Wen's chest. That increase in mana would let him fire Ten Flaming Bursts of Zeal!
"Let's go," Tao Wen said to Peter, then strode toward Harlem.
"Go?"Peter looked at him in confusion. In his mind, now was the perfect time to interact with the cheering fans—why leave now?
But when he turned and saw the eager, burning eyes of the crowd, he wisely decided to follow Tao Wen into the Rolls-Royce.
Harlem had seen the whole fight, his hands trembling slightly as he started the car, excitement still written all over his face.
Ring, ring, ring.
As Tao Wen sat watching the scenery outside, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Jenny.
"Tao, I've got everything ready. This afternoon, let's go interview Dr. Connors together," Jenny said.
"Really?"Tao Wen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected such a coincidence—but it was perfect. He could farm the remaining fragments and maybe even recruit another strong ally. This was a golden opportunity.
"Then, see you later."
Tao Wen hung up.
Afterward, he took Peter to the East District to check on the construction site. Seeing that work was still underway, he brought Peter home and told him to keep practicing and mastering his powers.
Only then did he have Harlem drive to Jenny's residence.
Jenny lived in the central district, surrounded by high-rises.
When the Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up, it immediately drew excited gasps from onlookers—including Jenny herself, who had been about to head out to meet Tao Wen.
"If only Tao could drive something like that…" she sighed wistfully.It had always been her dream to ride in such a luxury car—but she knew it was pure fantasy. The idea of Tao Wen driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom seemed utterly impossible.
Click.
Just as she stepped closer to take a better look, the car door suddenly opened.
