Compared to their last encounter, Han Sen was now one step into the ranks of top-tier powerhouses.
Now, it was time to see if this frail human body could withstand the red-hot tornado after its rampage!
During their first battle, Han Sen had already made up his mind that the next time they met, he would reverse their positions!
A true man keeps his word!
What he said, naturally, had to be...
Done! To! The! Letter!
"You, you, you... what nonsense are you spouting?!"
The humiliated and enraged Tornado finally recovered from her several-second-long system crash, recoiling sharply as if burned, her entire body tensing up.
That flush of crimson spread from her delicate little face all the way down to her slender neck, even the collarbones exposed by her swimsuit straps were tinged with a faint pink.
Her bare little feet curled up nervously in mid-air, her cute, rounded toes tensed tightly, as if she could grip onto something to steady her rapidly beating heart.
Damn it! What's wrong with this guy?!
She glared fiercely at Han Sen, attempting to scare him off with her fiercest gaze, but her emerald eyes shimmered with a watery sheen, looking more like a startled small animal than anything with destructive power.
Especially when her gaze met Han Sen's burning, almost blazing eyes, that fiercely built-up momentum instantly deflated.
—His gaze... why is it so direct?!
Tornado's heart, uncooperatively, pounded again, as if her soft spot had been poked, and she turned her head sharply to the side, her face flushed.
Even her iconic emerald green curly hair whipped out a stubborn arc in the air.
"Hmph! Who... who wants you to like them?!"
She spoke with her back to Han Sen, her voice urgent and fast, yet lacking confidence due to her guilt: "Don't... don't be so conceited! I, I don't care about you at all!"
As she spoke, she waved her small hands wildly, as if trying to fan away the uncomfortable ambiguous atmosphere in the air.
"I warn you, if you spout any more nonsense... I, I, I, I'll really kill you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she spun around abruptly, her pretty face, flushed with shame and anger, filled with a 'I'm going to fight you' determination.
But she didn't notice that her puffed-up appearance, coupled with her slightly reddened eye corners, not only lacked any deterrent power but instead added a rare touch of charming naivety.
Han Sen's gaze remained burning, his eyes as firm as if he were making a vow.
Seeing Tornado turn her head to avoid his gaze, the corners of his mouth curved into the arc of a victor.
—See, what did I tell you, she retreated!
Their positions, sure enough, had been reversed!
In contrast, Tornado was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on hard, instantly teleporting back over ten meters, creating what she thought was a safe distance.
Her slender, pale hands pointed wildly at Han Sen, her voice trembling slightly from an unfamiliar panic, even carrying a hint of exasperation that she herself didn't understand.
"Who... who wants you to like them! Stop being so conceited! I'll kill you!"
Before she finished speaking, Tornado's small hand suddenly waved, and emerald green Psychokinesis flames shot up into the sky!
Below, at the edge of the massive crater blasted out by Han Sen's punch, a multi-story skyscraper, miraculously still relatively intact after the disaster, was uprooted by unseen Psychokinesis amidst a grating sound of twisting metal and crumbling foundations!
Rumble—!!
The building, weighing hundreds of thousands of tons, floated entirely in the air, then, under Tornado's control, like a terrifying battering ram, with its top facing down, it plummeted towards Han Sen with a deafening, piercing whistle that tore through the air!
The momentum of this attack was even more shocking than the attack of the Dragon-level Monster, the Wild Boar, earlier!
Han Sen Vs. Red-hot Tornado, a battle far exceeding a Dragon-level disaster, was on the verge of erupting!
Facing this terrifying attack, capable of instantly leveling a mountain, Han Sen not only didn't dodge but instead his eyes flashed with brilliant light, and he became fully alert.
Good, this is the force!
What he was facing now was not some small fry at the peak of Dragon-level, but the legendary...
Full-blooded Red-hot Tornado!
He likewise extended one hand, and in an instant, a seemingly thin, light-blue barrier suddenly unfolded in front of him.
Boom—!!!
The skyscraper slammed into the barrier, but the expected earth-shattering impact did not occur.
The massive structure seemed to hit a perfectly resilient jelly, its terrifying kinetic energy instantly absorbed and neutralized, and the entire building silently hovered in front of Han Sen, its control smoothly snatched by him.
"Hmph—! Is it that power-neutralizing trick again!"
Tornado's eyebrows shot up at the sight, but a faint smile appeared on Han Sen's lips, and then he gently twisted his wrist.
The next second, the building he had steadily held was sent flying back even faster than it had come.
After tracing an elegant parabolic arc in the air, it precisely slotted back into the original foundation gap with a "thud," looking perfectly flush, with even the dust pressed in place by the force field.
Tornado: "..."
Such a provocative act made Tornado enter her powerhouse state, her angry, dead-fish eyes glaring over: "You, you actually show off your superpowers in front of me... are you looking down on me?! Ah ♦ —?"
"Unforgivable!!"
Boom—!
Accompanying her delicate shout, the building restored by Han Sen twisted and collapsed inward like a wrung towel, turning into rubble in the blink of an eye.
The next second, Tornado unleashed both hands, her Psychokinesis output suddenly increasing by over a hundredfold, erupting violently towards the ground!
For a moment, nearly half of the K City ruins seemed to come alive, as if imbued with life!
Broken cross-sea bridges, collapsed commercial centers, twisted subway tracks... thousands of tons of urban debris, enveloped in furious emerald green light, gathered from all directions like an army of steel obeying the command of their sole monarch!
They combined, compressed, and deformed in the air, finally transforming into a world-destroying material storm, forming a massive, deadly tornado with a diameter of over a thousand meters, completely engulfing and trapping Han Sen!
The center of the storm appeared calm, but in reality, the Psychokinesis pressure there was no less than the surrounding swirling material storm, yet Han Sen remained calmly suspended in place.
Both "Electromagnetic Rampage" and "Imagination Power," his two core SSRs, were simultaneously activated, silver lightning and blue superpower flames intertwining, forming a massive multi-layered spherical force field around him.
The surface of the force field shimmered with light, and light passing through it even visibly distorted, completely isolating all incoming attacks.
Countless tons of steel and concrete fragments, like cannonballs hitting an absolute barrier, were ground into dust by terrifying energy the instant they touched the outer layer of the force field, unable to even emit a muffled sound.
"Is this all you've got?"
