Sneckâs curled hands suddenly launched at the joints of the fighting robot. Whether a real person or a robot, the joints were always the weakness.
His speed was astonishing, like a poisonous snake devouring people. In the blink of an eye, he almost reached the robotâs joints. The robot twisted its joints in a divine movement and avoided his attack.
âInteresting. Take another attack from me.â
After Sneck failed to hit the robot, his hands shook and started moving fluidly like a pair of flexible swords. He continuously struck the fighting robot from strange and tricky angles, like a poisonous snake.
However, the fighting robot readily deflected Sneckâs attack.
Sneck raised his eyebrows. His arms seemed to lost all bones. He took advantage of the momentum and wrapped around the fighting robotâs arms like a snake coiling on prey. His hands formed chicken claws and stabbed the fighting robotâs shoulder joints like chickens pecking rice.
Clang!
Although Sneckâs moves were strange and full of tricks, the fighting robot still kept up like a wriggling worm. Its mechanical hands stretched out to block Sneckâs hands.
âAs expected of an A-class Hero!â
King looked at Sneckâs battle with the fighting robot. His eyes lit up. He finally saw the combat strength of an A-class Hero. Compared to the heavy fist from Tanktop Boxer and the barrage of punches from Fast Fist Man, Sneckâs snake-like hands were focused on attacks with unorthodox techniques. Sneckâs combat strength was clearly superior to Tanktop Boxer, and he was actually able to push the fighting robotâs defense to its limit.
Bang!
After another move was blocked, Sneck took a few steps back. He stared at the steady fighting robot with shock.
The effect of the Bookworm invented by Child Emperor was too amazing. It could actually see through my every move. Even if the original fighting robot was slightly weaker than me, it had such a powerful weapon. I had already lost half of the battle before it even began!
How am I supposed to defeat such a guy?
He thought for a moment and took a deep breath. âIt seems that I can only attack the eyes. As long as I cripple its eyes, I can free myself from the restraints and release my combat power completely. At that time, defeating it will only be a matter of time.â
He made up his mind and focused on the eyes of the fighting robot. Bookworm was attached there, the secret and the biggest weakness of the fighting robot.
But the fighting robot still had the Bookworm. If he carelessly attacked, the robot would easily deflect it.
Sneck stared at the motionless fighting robot, thoughts racing in his mind. There are certain amounts of delays between human perception and reaction. The robot and its glasses would also need time to analyze data. As long as my attack is faster than its reaction time, I can definitely break its eyes!
âDance of Snakes!â
He narrowed his eyes, and his hands started to move at lightning speed. In an instant, more than ten afterimages appeared, as if a dozen poisonous snakes had just attacked the fighting robot.
Sneckâs plan was excellent, but the reality was cruel. The fighting robot was unfazed in the face of his dazzling attacks as if it had seen through everything. It treated Sneckâs attacks no more than a clownâs performance.
âDamn it!â
Sneck was annoyed. He stopped creating afterimages and went straight for the fighting robotâs eyes.
Clang!
As expected, the fighting robot grabbed Sneckâs wrist with its mechanical hands, halting his attack again.
âSigh, I admit defeat.â Sneck looked at the fighting robot in a daze and smiled bitterly. âChild Emperor, the Bookworm you developed is too powerful for martial artists. It is the natural enemy for martial artists like us.â
For martial artists who relied on their regulated and precise moves, the âBookwormâ that could see through their moves was simply a nightmarish existence.
A robot that isnât too strong actually managed to tie with Sneck after installing the âBookworm.â This little toy has dramatically increased their combat strength. How about⌠I also ask for a pair from Child Emperor?
King touched his chin and pondered.
âHey, asshat. Wake up. Itâs your turn.â Tanktop Boxer crossed his arms. âI want to see how strong you are. Are you qualified to be ranked above us?â
Child Emperor licked the lollipop, his small eyes sparkling, full of expectation. âUncle, itâs your turn. Oh right, be gentle. My robot canât withstand your attack.â
Sneck and the others stared at King. They wanted to know what kind of Hero King was and what kind of strength he had.
King did not speak. He was just here to help Child Emperor collect experimental data. There was no need to go all out, only enough force to not be ignored by the fighting robot. He just had to do it half-heartedly.
In Systemâs attribute panel, his Strength had already reached seven points, surpassing ordinary people. As long as he concentrated his mind and attacked, according to the situation explained by Child Emperor, the fighting robot would respond accordingly.
He slowly walked to the tall fighting robot, took a deep breath, retracted his fists in front of his chest, and put on a regular twisting boxing posture.
âHa-ha, this boxing movement canât be more amateur. Is he trying to be funny?â
As a former boxing professional, Tanktop Boxer could see through Kingâs awkward boxing movement at a glance. It was not excessive to describe King as a âboxing amateur.â
King ignored him. His eyes were fixed on the fighting robot. He clenched his fist and focused all his strength on his right arm.
Child Emperor stared at King intently. There was a hint of excitement on his face. He was happy to see King fight with his own eyes and collect Kingâs combat data.
King Punch!
King gathered his strength for a while. He clenched his right fist tightly and pulled back. Then, he exerted all his strength to hit the fighting robotâs chest.
âThis kind of strength is at most at a childâs level, right? Wouldnât it just get ignored?â
Sneck and the others frowned. They felt that Kingâs fist was very weak, comparable to a child. According to the lower limit of Bookworm, this degree of attack would definitely be regarded as no threat.
Child Emperor looked at Kingâs punch, and his little face was confused. What an ordinary punch! Was this Kingâs attack?
Hu!
Kingâs fist hit the chest of the fighting robot under the watchful eyes of Sneck and the others. The fighting robot did not react at all.
âWas⌠was I ignored?â
He saw that his fist was about to hit the chest of the fighting robot. The fighting robot still had no sign of defending itself. He immediately stopped his fist, and his whole body froze. He was very embarrassed.
The fighting robot would only choose to ignore under two circumstances. One was if the attack was too strong, and the other was when the attack was too weak. King obviously did not belong to the strong type. Then the reason why the fighting robot ignored him was that it recognized Kingâs attack as harmless.
âMy attack is harmless?â
King looked at the motionless fighting robot with his fist frozen in the air. His attack was actually regarded as harmless. He canât even be compared to an ordinary association staff or a dog. This was too embarrassing!
