"But you are still 'human.' You can never understand how vast the world is after breaking free from the shackles of different levels of life!"
He opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world: "I spent my whole life pursuing the ultimate in martial arts, only to find that the end of that path was an insurmountable wall."
"And now, I've easily climbed over that wall! King, you and I are both at the top, you should understand my feelings the best."
"Give up! Give up that ridiculous hero identity! Accept the monster cells, and you will become an existence beyond everything, a true god!"
In Haojie's eyes, the KING in front of him is his past self.
A supremely talented individual, yet trapped in the well of human limitations, a pitiful and tragic figure.
Lin Mo listened quietly, his face expressionless. Only after Haojie finished speaking did he slowly shake his head.
"You're wrong, hero."
His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
"You didn't climb over the wall, you just crawled through the dog hole next to it."
"What did you say?!"
The hero's smile froze instantly, and a terrifying glint of ferocity flashed in his four eyes.
The other party actually... actually regarded his god-like evolution as a dog that crawled through a dog hole...?

PS: I changed the trial card time to permanent. Someone also reminded me that King is also in Meteor Crisis, so he should be sixth in S-rank, and Metal Knight seventh in S-rank.
Chapter 141 The True Meaning of Martial Arts
"The true essence of martial arts lies in using a finite physical body to challenge infinite possibilities. This process itself is cultivation."
Lin Mo's gaze sharpened, as if it could pierce through Hao Jie's massive body and look directly into his soul, which had once been human.
Accompanying his words was the increasingly heavy "engine of emperorship".
"You encountered a bottleneck, but instead of using your own will and effort to break through it, you relied on external forces and abandoned your fundamental nature as a 'human being'."
Lin Mo's every word was like a heavy hammer blow, striking his spirit hard.
"What you've gained isn't evolution, but merely a distorted expansion of power. By escaping the most difficult challenges, you'll never truly understand what 'martial arts' or 'the limit' is."
"shut up!!!"
The hero was completely enraged!
Lin Mo's words pierced the deepest scars in his heart with precision!
His proudest evolution, which he regarded as a transformation that elevated life, and the power he gained by giving up his human identity, were described by the other party as a cowardly escape!
This made him feel humiliated and angry!
"A mere human being... a mere ant trapped in a human body, dares to judge my choices!"
The hero roared, and the ground beneath his feet exploded.
His massive body moved at an astonishing speed completely disproportionate to his size, instantly covering a distance of a hundred meters, and his enormous shadow completely enveloped Lin Mo.
A gigantic fist, carrying the force of destruction, slammed straight at Lin Mo's face!
"I'll smash your arrogant face and your ridiculous theories to pieces!"
He didn't even use any martial arts techniques with this punch; it was purely the absolute power he gained after becoming a monster!
He wanted to use the most direct method to tell this "strongest on earth" how insignificant humanity is in the face of true power!
Despite the punch that could level a building, Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged.
He simply raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.
"How naive!" Haojie roared inwardly, increasing the force of his fist once again.
He could almost see the scene of his opponent and half the city turning to ashes with his punch.
However, the next second, the sneer on his face froze.
His fist was caught firmly by that seemingly ordinary hand.
"boom--!!!"
A visible white ring of air emanated from the two people and spread outwards, instantly shattering the glass of all buildings within a radius of 100 meters!
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud.
However, Lin Mo was completely unharmed at the center of this violent impact.
He didn't even take a single step back.
"What..." Haojie's four eyes widened in disbelief.
His fist, powerful enough to flatten a small mountain, was caught steadily by a hand that appeared incredibly slender in comparison to his own.
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..." Haojie muttered to himself.
How could a human being withstand his attack with just his physical body?
"Is this the power you gained by giving up everything?"
Lin Mo's voice remained calm, but to Haojie, it was like a thunderclap: "Too soft."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo suddenly tightened his grip.
"Crack!!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out, and Haojie's incredibly hard finger bones were actually crushed inch by inch by Lin Mo!
"Ahhh!"
The excruciating pain caused Haojie to roar, and he swung his other arm across, the resulting wind pressure even leaving a white streak in the air!
Lin Mo released his grip, leaned back slightly, and avoided the sweeping attack at an incredible angle.
Immediately, he touched the ground with his toes and moved as if teleporting into the hero's arms.
This is the distance that martial artists fear most!
“Too close!”
Alarm bells rang in Haojie's mind. His massive body had become a burden, making it difficult for him to make an effective defense and counterattack at such close range.
Lin Mo's attack had already begun like a storm!
One-inch punch, elbow strike, knee strike, whip kick...
Lin Mo's attacks were all extremely simple, yet contained immense destructive power.
His attack was completely fluid, with every movement precise and focused on the point of impact.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!!"
A series of dull, rapid strikes rang out!
The hero's massive body was forced to retreat steadily under the onslaught of this storm of attacks!
His once-proud, resilient skin was dented layer by layer from Lin Mo's punches and kicks.
He tried to retaliate, but Lin Mo's movements were like a ghost, always able to predict all his actions and interrupt his moves with faster speed and more tricky angles before he could gather his strength.
"This is impossible……"
Haojie's consciousness was beginning to blur, and countless bones in his body were broken.
His strength, speed, and defense, which he was so proud of, were like a joke in front of his opponent.
His opponent was stronger! His opponent's body was more resilient!
The other party was a human!
"This is impossible!" Haojie's four eyes shone brightly red.
Using all the remaining strength in his body, he forcefully twisted his body, combining the martial arts skills he had used for decades with the brute force of the freak, and unleashed a powerful punch that struck Lin Mo's chest.
This was his final counterattack!
"Martial arts?" Lin Mo's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, then he shook his head.
"It seems that in abandoning your human form, you have forgotten even the most basic essence of martial arts."
"This seemingly powerful punch is actually full of flaws."
He slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging the hero's powerful punch at an incredible angle.
At the same time, his right leg struck first, hitting Haojie precisely in the waist and abdomen.
【Martial Arts - Ultimate】, this fighting technique representing the limit of the Dragon level, revealed its power at this moment.
This kick, seemingly light and airy, actually contained extreme penetrating power.
"puff--!"
The hero's massive body suddenly arched, and dark purple blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from his mouth.
He was sent flying backward, crashing through three buildings before finally coming to a stop amidst the ruins.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed.
He struggled to his feet from the rubble; one of his arms was completely deformed, and there was a huge dent in his chest.
Three of his four eyes had burst due to the violent impact, leaving only one eye, which was fixedly staring at the slowly approaching figure.
An unprecedented sense of fear and powerlessness.
He was completely powerless to fight back!
"Why... why..."
He struggled to speak, and with each word he uttered, a large amount of bloody foam gushed from his mouth.
His voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with confusion and despair.
"Why...can humans...possess such power? This shouldn't be a realm that humans can reach!"
