Chapter 128 - Sparring with Each Other

Saitama hesitated slightly and moved closer to Han Yu, speaking in a low voice:"Is this okay? Genos is an S-class hero, after all. Your subordinate—he'll be fine, right?"

Han Yu maintained a faint smile."It's fine. Go ahead and fight."

Genos looked at Saitama, who nodded at him. He stepped forward and said,"My name is Genos, ranked seventeenth among the S-class."

Ultron yawned, one hand still in his pocket as he bent slightly, speaking lazily,"Ultron. No rank, no class, just wants to sleep. Hurry it up."

Suddenly, small jet nozzles appeared on Genos's shoulders. Flames shot out, and in that instant, his speed surged. He became a blur as he lunged toward Ultron.

A smaller nozzle appeared behind his elbows. The flames increased the speed of his punches, sending them hurtling toward Ultron's ribs.

Ultron stepped lightly to the right. What looked like a punch moving at impossible speed, leaving only an afterimage to the ordinary eye, was effortlessly dodged.

The next moment, Ultron's palm moved like a nimble serpent, darting along Genos's attacking arm and lightly slapping his shoulder.

The seemingly gentle strike struck Genos as if he had been hit by a speeding train. He grunted, flying dozens of meters backward.

"This guy's interesting. His reflexes, speed, and strength are definitely worthy of an S-class hero ranking. I can't hold back anymore!"

A flash of light appeared in Genos's eyes. Smart as they were, they could instantly analyze the opponent's strength with just a few exchanges. Seeing Ultron move with ease yet unleash such terrifying power, Genos knew that his opponent's strength was at least on par with his own.

"I need to get serious."

Flames surged again from the nozzles on Genos's shoulders. His speed was now far beyond before. Previously, ordinary people could only see afterimages; now, his movement was completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Impressive speed."

Han Yu nodded. Even within the Avengers, a fighter like this would be extremely powerful. Genos's fighting style relied heavily on his jet nozzles. Han Yu thought it would be beneficial for Stark to spar with him a few times.

Otherwise, a super-intelligent suit, shooting projectiles all day, becomes nearly useless in close combat. The armor that could even withstand missiles wasn't something to underestimate.

On the battlefield, Ultron still looked like he hadn't fully woken up. Was Genos strong? Yes—any S-class hero in their world was no joke.

Of course, that didn't count the little guy who scared people just with his heartbeat.

"Ultron, focus!" Han Yu frowned at his careless attitude. He didn't doubt that Ultron would win, but it was a matter of respect.

"Huh… finish early, sleep early. I even have a date to rob a bank tonight."

Since Han Yu had spoken, Ultron could no longer be so careless. He exhaled deeply, and a trace of seriousness finally appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, his body trembled slightly. Ordinary people might not notice, but Saitama couldn't help but say,"What incredible speed!"

Their fists collided. The fists arrived first, but the sound followed a split second later.

Genos felt as though he wasn't striking a person, but a mountain rooted firmly to the ground.

The shockwave from the punch struck back through Genos, hitting an invisible wall of space with a sound that made his heart skip a beat. And this was only raw physical power!

Genos turned his head, noticing the towering buildings behind him. The punch's shockwave had already vaporized some of them, giving him a clear sense of the space's scale.

"If not for the boundary of this space, his damage would have extended even further."

Genos murmured to himself. A sense of déjà vu washed over him. He had experienced something similar when sparring with Saitama, who once punched a mountainside into a gorge.

That battle left him in awe of Saitama and inspired him to learn more from him.

"This guy's strength is far beyond what he's shown. He hasn't even unleashed half, maybe even a tenth of his true power!" Genos murmured, a rare look of surprise crossing his usually calm face.

Striking a mountain with a fist was almost meaningless for him.

If it were a firepower contest, Ultron might not have won so quickly. But in close combat, with his body type, Ultron could withstand Genos striking all day with little effect.

"I lost. You're strong… unimaginably strong."

Genos stared calmly at Ultron. Losing didn't carry the weight of life or death, and sparring like this didn't bring disappointment—instead, it was exhilarating."Can I come spar with you again?"

Saitama couldn't spar every day, and catching up to his teacher seemed impossible. Meeting such a strong, non-hostile opponent was naturally exciting.

"Troublesome. No."

Ultron's brief seriousness vanished, replaced by his usual laziness. His straightened posture slumped again, looking nothing like the man who had just delivered that devastating punch.

Watching Ultron's lax demeanor, Han Yu stroked his chin. He wasn't surprised—this outcome was entirely expected.

"Ultron's strength is on another level. In pure physical power, I might not even match him. I wonder how he'd fare against the bald guy."

Thinking this, Han Yu turned and saw Saitama staring at him. They exchanged smiles.

"His ability is literally 'one punch.' No matter the opponent, one punch ends it. Without concrete data, cross-universe comparisons are impossible. You can't measure the power of both sides."

Han Yu called to Genos:"Since you've admitted defeat, let Saitama rest for a day."

Genos had no objection—that was the original agreement.

"Do you have time? Since we just met, want to come to my place and play some games?" Saitama asked.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to properly thank Han Yu—he had provided a delicious meal and handled this persistent disciple, allowing Saitama some rare rest.

Previously, Saitama hadn't realized he'd told Genos exactly how much rest he could take. This had led Genos to tirelessly seek guidance on how to get stronger, without pause.
