[Item: Red Mushroom (Eats and grows bigger)]
This was an item Du Mu had acquired a while ago.
Seeing that Peter was about to collapse, Du Mu decisively ate the Red Mushroom. His size instantly doubled, making him even a head taller than Hulk!
At the same time, his various attributes also surged, allowing him to easily block Hulk's punch.
Not only that, Du Mu's clothes also grew in sync with his body, unlike Hulk, who burst out of his clothes, pants, and shoes, leaving only his underwear.
But it must be said, the quality of Hulk's underwear was indeed excellent; after such an intense battle, there wasn't a single trace of damage.
Looking at Du Mu, who was even larger than him, a hint of surprise flashed in Hulk's eyes.
But this surprise was fleeting, instantly drowned out by surging fury!
"Roar!!!"
Hulk let out a furious roar, swinging his giant fist, larger than a casserole, and slammed it fiercely towards Du Mu!
Du Mu didn't dodge or evade, also throwing a punch to meet him!
Boom!!!
Two giant fists, imbued with terrifying power, collided head-on!
A violent Impact exploded, instantly knocking Peter and the surrounding bookshelves, who were close by, to the ground!
Taking advantage of the brief stalemate caused by the collision of their fists, Du Mu advised, "Calm down, Hulk, I'm here to help you!"
"Roar!!!"
But Hulk didn't listen at all, roaring and about to throw another punch.
However, Du Mu's movements were faster than him!
"Thai Boxing Warning!"
Du Mu suddenly stepped forward, slamming an elbow heavily into Hulk's face!
Bang!!
A dull and shocking Impact sound exploded!
Hulk was smashed backward like a cannonball, crashing into a row of heavy bookshelves in the distance, collapsing them. Wood chips and books flew everywhere, instantly burying him.
Peter struggled out from a pile of scattered books, coughing and dusting himself off. He looked at Du Mu's tall figure and the collapsed bookshelves in the distance, completely stunned.
Are all jocks this fierce these days?
"Roar!!!"
An angry roar exploded from the ruins of the book pile!
Hulk pushed aside the books and bookshelves, his eyes fixed on Du Mu, burning with pure rage.
Clearly, Du Mu had angered this beast!
Hulk roared, his massive body once again surging forward, charging recklessly towards Du Mu.
Du Mu nimbly dodged the charge, his right leg swiftly sweeping the back of Hulk's supporting knee!
Bang!
Hulk's momentum was abruptly halted, and he staggered.
Taking advantage of Hulk's momentary imbalance, Du Mu followed up with a knee strike, fiercely hitting him between the chest and abdomen!
"Ow!"
Hulk grunted from the blow, his body arching upwards.
Du Mu didn't stop, his left arm bent at the elbow, bringing with it a whistling wind, like a heavy axe, forcefully smashing down on Hulk's back!
Splat!
Hulk was directly knocked down by this heavy blow, landing heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust!
Although Hulk's strength was indeed terrifying, his combat skills were almost nonexistent.
At the same size, Hulk was no match for Du Mu.
Hulk struggled to get up, but Du Mu forcibly pushed him back down. At the same time, he extended his arm, wrapping it around Hulk's thick neck, applying constant pressure.
"Roar! Roar!"
Hulk struggled fiercely, his limbs flailing wildly, smashing deep pits into the floor. But Du Mu used clever technique to lock his key points of leverage, and he couldn't break free for a while.
Looking at the struggling Hulk, Du Mu comforted him, "It's alright, Hulk, dizziness is normal!"
Seeing this, Peter also quickly came over to help, pressing down on Hulk with all his might.
With their combined efforts, Hulk's eyes, which had been filled with anger, gradually became clear and bewildered, and his size began to visibly shrink.
Soon, Hulk transformed back into his human form, Bruce Banner.
"Just in time."
Du Mu said, and his own size also returned to normal.
The Red Mushroom had a time limit.
If they had delayed any longer, or allowed Hulk's anger to accumulate further, the situation might have completely reversed.
"Cool, is that your superpower?" Peter asked enviously.
"No, I just took some medicine; I only temporarily grew bigger."
Du Mu noticed Peter's gaze and said cheerfully, "You want some? I still have one here, the effect is pretty similar. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Really? That's too kind." Peter looked a bit embarrassed.
"It's fine, I don't really need this thing anyway."
Du Mu pulled out a blue pill from his game inventory, casually tossed it to Peter, and reminded him, "Remember, when you feel sluggish and weak, use this pill. It guarantees you'll instantly regain your vigor!"
Peter took the blue pill and carefully put it in his pocket: "I understand, this is a trump card to be used at a crucial moment."
"Hmm, it seems you understand it very well."
While the two were talking, Bruce had already woken up. He slowly opened his eyes, looking around in confusion.
"You're awake?"
Du Mu suddenly leaned close to Bruce's face.
Bruce jumped, asking, "Who are you?"
Du Mu said, "I am Du Mu, and I'm here to help you escape."
"Help me escape?"
Bruce had no memory of his Hulk transformation. Noticing that he was still inside Midtown High School, he asked in surprise, "Hulk didn't escape? Did General Ross defeat him?"
"Oh no, I defeated him."
"..."
Bruce was speechless for a moment, somewhat disbelieving.
He was very aware of Hulk's terrifying destructive power; even General Ross's army could barely pose a substantial threat to Hulk.
This man in front of him could actually defeat Hulk!?
But the facts were laid out before him, and Bruce had no choice but to believe.
"Thank you for stopping Hulk."
Bruce didn't blame Du Mu for him not escaping; instead, he was filled with gratitude.
If Hulk had been left unchecked, who knew how much destruction he would have caused and how many people would have died. This was absolutely unacceptable to Bruce, which is why he had tried every possible way to get rid of Hulk.
Du Mu waved his hand: "It's a small matter. Let's talk after we leave this place."
"Guys, I have to warn you, the army outside has already surrounded the school. If you want to escape, it might be a bit difficult."
Peter, seeing that Bruce didn't seem like a bad person, kindly offered a warning.
Du Mu chuckled: "No worries, I have a shortcut to get out of here."
Ten minutes later.
Over a thousand meters away from Midtown High School, Du Mu and Bruce emerged from underground.
"Your pickaxe is amazing."
Bruce looked at the Diamond Pickaxe in Du Mu's hand, his face filled with shock.
"No, no, no, your Hulk is even more amazing."
Du Mu also didn't know how the weight that appeared out of thin air after Bruce transformed into Hulk came about.
Was it photosynthesis?
After all, Hulk is so green.
