Adam's face instantly turned grim, his fists clenching with a cracking sound.
Leon's disdain stung his pride.
Leon ignored him and instead turned his head slightly, casting his gaze towards Banner, who had been trying to minimize his presence.
"It seems our field trip has gained an interesting practical component."
Banner: …No way?
"Dr.," Leon's smile became meaningful.
"Your new colleague seems to have some objections to our onboarding process. He feels we need to welcome him in a more enthusiastic way."
Banner's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Enthusiastic? You call this enthusiastic? This is going to kill someone!
"Mr. Leon…" Banner tried to make a final struggle.
"I think we can sit down and talk properly, resolving the issue in a more civilized manner."
"Civilized?" Leon raised an eyebrow.
"Dr., power is the most universal language in the Universe. When language fails, fists are the best translators."
With that, he gave Banner no more chance to argue.
"Alright, don't be nervous, Dr. This is just a small onboarding test."
"Go, Banner."
"Let Hulk come out and play with our new friend."
Looking into Leon's smiling eyes, Banner knew he had no choice.
Alright, play then.
Banner took a deep breath, beginning to gather his emotions.
Anyway, if the sky falls, Leon will hold it up.
He was just an employee following orders.
He hoped this Mr. Blue Marvel would go easy, otherwise Hulk could be terrifying when he went wild.
He took a step forward, blocking Leon and Adam, then took off his glasses and carefully placed them in his breast pocket.
This action was like a ritual, or a switch for personality change.
Adam looked at Banner in confusion, his brows tightly furrowed.
What does this mean?
Leon disdained to act personally, choosing instead to send his seemingly frail follower to deal with him?
This was an insult!
The anger in Adam's heart was ignited once more.
He decided he would quickly dispatch this bespectacled fellow, and then force that blonde man to act!
Just then, he saw Banner raise his head, and a helpless yet wild smile appeared on his originally somewhat timid face.
"Mr. Bernard, right?" Banner's voice held a hint of helplessness.
"Allow me to introduce myself, Bruce Banner, Dr. of Physics. And…"
Before he finished speaking, green energy began to surge beneath his skin.
"The Indestructible Hulk!"
"Roar!!!"
An angry roar soared into the sky!
The clouds above the town were scattered by the roar!
Banner's body began to swell!
His T-shirt and shorts instantly turned to rags.
His skin was rapidly covered in green, and his height broke through two and a half meters in just a few seconds, still growing!
Soon, a giant filled with destructive power descended into the courtyard!
Hulk, has arrived!
Adam's pupils suddenly contracted.
Hulk?!
The guy who caused a commotion in New York?
He felt an almost infinite power emanating from Hulk!
This power was completely different from the power within him; it was unreasonable, its only purpose was destruction!
This guy was also a monster!
And, a monster on the same level as him!
"OK, cool."
At this moment, Bruce Banner's consciousness floated within Hulk's mind.
He was like a driver, observing and guiding Hulk's body through the mental link bestowed by Leon.
He could feel Hulk's fighting spirit, generated by the powerful energy emanating from Adam.
This feeling was truly marvelous.
He was no longer a prisoner consumed by anger, but a helmsman steering the storm.
Leon watched this scene with satisfaction, nodding slightly.
Very good, Banner's control over his power was much faster than he had expected.
It seemed his teaching results were quite good.
Now, he would see what Fire would spark when gamma rays met antimatter.
As if thinking of something, he waved his hand lightly.
Buzz!
A golden barrier instantly enveloped the town.
From the outside, the town still appeared peaceful and normal.
But inside the barrier, it had become a battlefield isolated from reality.
Having done all this, Leon leisurely retreated a few steps, leaving the stage to the two protagonists in the center.
"Roar!"
Hulk did not hesitate, charging forward the moment he completed his transformation!
He stomped his legs violently, and the manicured lawn beneath his feet was torn up!
His body ripped through the air, smashing fiercely towards Adam!
Adam's eyes narrowed; facing the Impact of Hulk's power, he chose not to dodge.
A hero's dignity would not allow him to retreat!
He let out a low growl, his body covered by a layer of blue energy shield.
At the same time, he clenched his fists, sinking slightly, and met Hulk with an equally unyielding stance.
"Come on!"
Boom!!!
Green and blue collided violently!
The World seemed to lose its sound.
The next second, a violent Impact erupted!
If Leon hadn't set up the barrier in advance, the mere aftershocks of the collision would have been enough to wipe out the town!
Smoke and dust billowed, energy raged.
At the center of the Impact, Hulk and Adam still maintained their fist-to-fist stance, the ground beneath their feet already a deep crater.
The two were evenly matched!
A hint of surprise flashed in Hulk's eyes, and then a stronger anger surged forth.
He roared, the muscles on his arms bulging again, and violent power poured out!
Adam grunted, feeling a tremendous force coming from the other's fist.
His body slid uncontrollably backward for more than ten meters, his feet plowing two deep furrows in the ground.
Such powerful strength!
Adam was aghast.
He could feel that the opponent's strength was still continuously increasing!
"Roar!"
Having gained the upper hand with one strike, Hulk pressed his advantage.
He roared and charged again, his massive fists wildly smashing towards Adam.
Adam decided not to meet the blows directly anymore; his body transformed into a streak of light, rapidly ascending, skillfully dodging Hulk's attacks.
Each time Hulk's fist landed, it left a giant hole in the earth.
The town's ground became riddled with holes under his attacks, like ruins.
Looking at the berserk Hulk below, Adam's expression grew solemn.
Although he wasn't inferior to the opponent in terms of power, simply competing in strength was certainly not a wise idea.
So… his eyes lit up, and a brilliant blue light instantly illuminated the sky!
"Taste this!"
He spread his hands, and a large amount of antimatter energy was gathered by him, forming two energy spheres radiating destructive aura in his palms!
Antimatter energy bombs!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two energy bombs, trailing long fiery tails, fiercely struck Hulk's chest!
Boom! Boom!
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
The antimatter energy began to annihilate the moment it touched Hulk's body!
The ground beneath Hulk's feet and the surrounding space were swallowed by the annihilating power, forming an expanding spherical void!
However, in the center of the darkness, an angry roar pierced through everything!
"Roar!!!"
Hulk's massive body still stood firm; although his chest, where the energy bombs hit, was charred and bloody, those wounds were healing at a visible rate!
Pain only made him angrier!
And anger only made him stronger!
"Impossible!"
Adam watched this scene in disbelief.
His antimatter energy bombs could annihilate a small asteroid!
Yet they only caused a superficial injury to the opponent?
What was this guy's body made of?!
Hulk raised his head, his Fire-burning eyes locked onto Adam in mid-air.
He quickly bent his knees, and then… Boom!!!
The ground beneath his feet shattered again, and his body shot up, soaring into the sky!
Adam's face changed; he immediately released dozens of energy shields in front of him, while rapidly retreating.
But Hulk's speed was far faster than he had imagined!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of energy shields were instantly shattered before Hulk's iron fists!
In a flash, Hulk had already rushed in front of Adam!
"Roar!"
Hulk's fist, in Adam's horrified gaze, grew infinitely larger!
Finally, the fist smashed fiercely into his face!
