Zhang Wei felt helpless. He had only gone along to watch the excitement, but had unexpectedly gained such a great treasure.
As expected, the top-tier ingredients within the Great Glacier wouldn't be seen by ordinary laborers.
To access high-level ingredients, he would have to find another way.
Glancing at the disappearing rainbow fruit, Wu Yong laughed and said, "What flashy techniques. Are you a member of the Heavenly Thieves Alliance too?"
"Where did you hide the fruit? It doesn't matter if you don't say, give me some time, and I'll definitely make you spill everything clearly."
That great ape looked like trouble, and with such a precious treasure in hand, Zhang Wei had no intention of playing drinking games with Wu Yong.
But Wu Yong's movement technique was incredibly fast, and he reached Zhang Wei in an instant.
"Exploding Fist!"
Boom!!!
Zhang Wei had never fought before, much less been a warrior. In his panic, he could only instinctively raise his hands to block.
The unstoppable fist was caught steadily, and the violent airflow made his tiger skin rustle.
"That's it..."
Zhang Wei was stunned, staring blankly at his hands.
He had personally seen Wu Yong punch Bruce into the wall moments ago.
But he hadn't expected this punch to cause him any damage at all...
Could this punch have been just a test?
Wu Yong was furious. Zhang Wei's two words felt like mockery!
"Exploding Fist Barrage!"
Both fists ignited with flames, each strike like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Dozens of punches were unleashed simultaneously, the incredibly fast firelight painting beautiful arcs as it attacked Zhang Wei from all angles.
The force of this move attacked from all directions. Most of the frontal attacks were feints, while the attacks from insidious angles carried immense power.
Impossible to defend!
Facing such a fantastical move, Zhang Wei had even less experience dealing with it. He could only protect his head and let the punches land on his body.
Dust billowed everywhere...
Zhang Wei instinctively touched his body. The Galon tiger skin was tattered, but...
He felt no pain!
Wu Yong panted, exhausted. He hadn't expected his opponent to still be standing after taking this move.
"Enduring solely with his physical body, his physical strength has already surpassed mine."
"However, such overconfidence might be an opportunity for me..."
He closed his eyes and communicated with the appetite within him.
Steam rose from his body, transforming into Wu Yong's exclusive demon.
With a green face and fangs, a large bald head covered in bulging muscles, the entire form was more akin to a great ape.
Moreover, its clarity far surpassed that of Bruce and Modu.
"Mighty Vajra, lend me all your strength!"
The illusory figure collapsed, turning to smoke and dust, merging entirely into Wu Yong's left arm.
Wu Yong's left arm became even more swollen, a stark disproportion to his entire body, like a deformed infant from a zombie apocalypse.
"Overweight... Exploding Fist!"
Zhang Wei couldn't help but retort, "Why do you shout out your move names so loudly? And your naming skills are even worse than Saitama's!"
This move had a long wind-up, but Zhang Wei didn't dodge or evade.
Zhang Wei had collected so many ingredients, making himself five servings of extremely large, top-tier meals.
Like a glutton, he ate nearly a hundred pounds of exquisite delicacies daily.
In this world where eating delicious food grants strength, how strong had he become?
Zhang Wei really wanted to test it.
Mimicking Wu Yong, he concentrated his strength into his left fist.
Without any techniques or skills, relying solely on his own physical strength!
Fist against fist!
...
Zhang Wei turned and left, the skin on his fist worn down, with trickles of blood constantly flowing.
Before long, a massive roar attracted several high-ranking officials.
Wu Yong, shirtless, lay prone on the ground, his entire left arm gone...
"How is it?"
"Severe exhaustion and blood loss, but the problem isn't too serious. Take him back for the nutritionist to regulate, and it'll grow back in a few months."
"Even Wu Yong lost. The infiltrator's strength cannot be underestimated!"
"Increase vigilance... The Great Glacier needs thorough screening."
"Tens of thousands of people, the difficulty is too great."
"Bruce was found unconscious in the passageway, with over a dozen broken bones..."
"Hmph, take him back for intense interrogation. We must make him reveal his accomplices."
"He injured Wu Yong, this time no amount of ransom will save you!"
...
...
In the kitchen of the advanced sector, Wu Yong, having woken up, was devouring delicious food.
The wound on his left arm had stopped bleeding. Strange mechanical devices were connected to a mold.
"This is a regeneration template made by the nutritionist for you. As long as you replenish enough energy, your new arm will be even stronger than the previous one."
Wu Yong responded with a foolish grin and continued to focus on eating.
The high-ranking officials of the association were almost all present, all eager to obtain information about the attacker.
Xi Feng said, "You're saying that besides Bruce and a woman, there was a mysterious person wearing a tiger skin?"
"Yes, that guy was so strong!"
Wu Yong took a sip of soup and said, "I've never seen such exaggerated physical strength, with no combat techniques involving mental manifestation!"
"He took your Overweight Exploding Fist head-on?"
"Yes, purely with physical strength. The recoil force from the clash of energies destroyed my left arm."
Everyone looked serious.
Aud, the head of personnel, said, "Chairman, if it were you..."
"I don't cultivate purely physically, but if it were entirely as Wu Yong described, I might not be able to win with certainty."
Everyone fell silent.
They all knew the strength of Wu Yong and the Chairman. If the Chairman wasn't confident, other ministers would likely stand no chance against him.
Aud continued, "The opponent... did not kill Wu Yong. What was his objective? The Rainbow Fruit?"
How could they tolerate an intruder lurking beneath their noses?
The presence of such a powerful individual within the Great Glacier felt like a thorn in their side.
"Chairman, should we investigate strictly?"
Xi Feng shook his head, "That would alert the snake. If we encounter him, there will be casualties."
"Let him be for now."
"I will personally write to a few of my old friends. We will counterattack then. The immediate priority is to stabilize the situation."
Xi Feng continued, "From now on, all ministers will guard the Century Ice Pillar and are forbidden from acting rashly! Deploy all guards and completely seal off any channels leading to the outside. We'll play the 'trap the dog' game!"
"Understood!"
Concentrating all their elite forces was enough to deter any petty thief.
On the other side.
Zhang Wei happily returned to his dormitory.
On one hand, he had obtained a mysterious top-tier fruit; on the other, his own strength had been partially verified.
It was a shame that Wu Yong wasn't a very good measure of his strength.
However, Zhang Wei dared not be careless. The world of Food Wars was vast. The Eight Kings in the original work could even pierce the Earth, connect to the void, and throw mountains...
It was a high-level martial arts setting!
He still needed to develop steadily.
Just as Zhang Wei was lost in thought, Momo, clad in animal skins, stumbled back, clearly heavily injured.
Her originally tall figure gradually shrunk, reverting back to the timid laborer.
"This skill is quite interesting, it can transform into people of all genders, ages, heights, and weights."
"If I could learn this... it would make any future operations much more convenient."
