"It's you!"
Ivan and Tony exclaimed at the same time.
Although they both shouted, their feelings were different.
Tony's shout was filled with surprise. The moment he saw Tao Wen calmly block Whiplash, he knew he was saved.
Ivan, on the other hand, roared in anger. He was so close to getting his revenge, only to have Tao Wen suddenly intervene. Coupled with everything Tao Wen had done to him before, he felt like he was being played.
Adding fuel to the fire, his eyes were now bloodshot with rage. He fell into a state of fury, and a terrifying killing intent began to swirl within him.
"Die!"
He wildly swung a pair of Whiplash, aiming to send both Tao Wen and Tony to Hell. The force escalated to its peak, no longer holding back.
"Watch out!"
Seeing the terrifying Whiplash lash out again, Tony couldn't help but shout, warning Tao Wen of how dangerous it was.
"Oh my god!"
"What is he doing, catching the electric whip with his bare hands?!"
"Is he crazy?!"
A group of panicked spectators let out terrified screams as they witnessed this scene, their eyes widening in shock at Tao Wen's actions.
They could foresee that Tao Wen would undoubtedly be electrocuted into a pile of useless scrap!
"Bring it on!"
Seeing Whiplash's frenzied attack, Tao Wen wasn't afraid. Instead, a different kind of light shone in his eyes. He wanted to test the modified Vampire Scepter. Ivan's Whiplash attacks weren't that powerful, making it the perfect test subject.
He reached out with both hands, grabbing at the two whips.
Crack! Crack!
He caught both whips accurately, standing firm on the ground.
The force from the whips was just right, not enough to break free from his grasp.
Hiss! Hiss!
Terrifying electricity surged into Tao Wen's body, making him tremble violently. A terrifying sense of paralysis invaded his body, causing him a slight pain.
But at the same time, a unique energy lingered within his body. Under this energy, a unique coolness flowed into the paralyzed areas, relieving the condition.
This surprised him greatly. He knew this was the life-draining ability of the Vampire Scepter.
"Argh!"
At the moment Whiplash was seized by Tao Wen, Ivan suffered a terrible blow, the force of the recoil erupted directly!
Excruciating pain spread throughout his body, causing him to roar in agony. He tried to pull Whiplash back, but as he moved, he was horrified to find that Tao Wen's strength was even greater than his.
"What a powerful physique! What kind of ability does he possess!"
Tony, standing behind Tao Wen, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene. The strength Tao Wen displayed was a bit beyond his imagination. He had never heard of anyone being able to touch an electric whip with their bare hands and remain completely unharmed!
"How is this possible!"
"Is he a robot!"
"Oh my god, I get it! He's a superhero too, just like Iron Man! But who is he? Does anyone know?"
The onlookers widened their eyes in disbelief, their expressions filled with astonishment. What was happening was truly extraordinary. After a brief moment of shock, they erupted in cheers, blindly worshipping this new strong figure. They looked to each other, desperate to know this hero's name, but no one knew.
Fragment +1
"What a pleasant surprise!"
Looking at the number that appeared before him, Tao Wen's eyes flashed with joy. The increasing fragments would bring him even more powerful equipment, and he was very excited.
"Argh! I'll kill you!"
Ivan roared in fury, struggling with all his might, trying to pull Whiplash back and turn the situation around.
Screech! Bang!
The instant he spoke, the sound of tires violently screeching against the ground echoed in the ears of the three.
Happy, driving the Rolls-Royce, had rammed into Ivan's body.
Ivan hadn't even reacted before the terrifying force slammed into him, sending him flying. He crashed into the protective net, bounced high, and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Tony, are you alright!"
Happy flew down and rushed to Tony's side, offering him the mechanical armor and asking with concern.
"I'm fine."
Tony grabbed the mechanical armor and responded loudly, but he didn't put it on. Instead, he stared at Tao Wen.
"Huh?"
Happy looked at Tony strangely, puzzled that he wasn't putting on the mechanical armor. Shouldn't he be suiting up and beating up Whiplash right now? What was going on? And who was that guy?
Following Tony's gaze, Happy noticed Tao Wen, which made him even more confused.
What exactly had he missed since he started driving?
Then, he saw the audience around him gazing at Tao Wen with looks of adoration.
"Kill!"
Even with Ivan's athletic build, he couldn't get up from the ground after being hit by the car. However, he didn't give up and roared, trying to clear his head. He frantically swung Whiplash.
As he swung it, his mind gradually cleared.
"Bro, get a good night's sleep. I told you long ago that Happy Soda could save you, but you wouldn't listen. When you wake up, you must drink more Happy Soda; it will bring you happiness."
Just as he raised his head, ready to get up, a familiar voice reached his ears.
At the same time, a shoe sole stomped down on his face. Intense pain assaulted his face. As soon as the pain appeared, he passed out.
"The feeling of stepping on someone is so satisfying!"
Feeling the energy surge into his body again, Tao Wen couldn't help but grin widely. With this influx of energy, his body returned to its peak condition, and even the fatigue vanished completely.
Fragment +1
Just as he was about to leave, a data prompt floated before his eyes.
"Hey, so knocking someone out gets you fragments!"
This sudden appearance made him feel like he'd found a new continent, and he was overjoyed.
"Thank you for your help."
As Tao Wen was still considering whether he could get fragments by waking up the unconscious Ivan, Tony's voice came from behind him.
He had to abandon the idea of waking Ivan up and instead turned to face the smiling Tony.
"It's my duty, Mr. Tony."
Tao Wen grinned, looking very gentle.
"Mr. Tony, I won't disturb your moment of affection. If you change your mind, remember to come to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s office 209 to see me. I'll be in the office tomorrow, and by the way, the coffee in my office tastes very good."
Tao Wen gently patted Tony on the shoulder and stepped aside.
"I..."
Tony was about to try and persuade him to stay, but then he saw Pepper running over and throwing herself into his arms. "I was so worried about you, Tony."
He immediately understood what Tao Wen meant. He could only hold Pepper tightly and enjoy this moment of love, becoming a sentimental gentleman. He didn't want to be blamed by Pepper; it would give him a terrible headache.
Tao Wen walked out of the arena and was immediately surrounded by a group of people. The enthusiastic audience, like die-hard fans seeing their favorite star, had an astonishing fiery glow in their eyes.
