Reborn with Steve Stand - Chapter 605: IronFist Mod!

After seeing Bang and the old man behind him, Fang Mo couldn’t help but feel amused.

He had just been planning to find him for a sparring session, but Bang showed up on his own, saving Fang Mo quite a bit of time.

“Yo, Bang, you’ve come.”

Thinking this, Fang Mo cheerfully greeted the two: “And Bang’s big brother too.”

“Ah… hello.”

The old man behind Bang, after hearing this, nodded politely.

This fellow looked even older than Bang, with a slightly balding head, though the hair and beard at the back of his head were quite long. Compared to Bang, his face was more rugged and lean.

It’s worth mentioning that this old man was none other than Bang’s own elder brother, Bomb. Unlike Bang, who was proficient in the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, this man was skilled in the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, which had strong offensive power and resembled palm techniques more than boxing. It was a martial art that used fierce palm winds to slice through enemies.

“You recognized him?”

Quickly, Bang also spoke up: “Speaking of which, I don’t remember mentioning my brother to you?”

“Oh, I’ve met him before at the club,” Fang Mo said offhand.

“…Nani?”

Hearing this, not just Bang, but Bomb was also taken aback, quickly interjecting: “Don’t spout nonsense; I’ve never been to such a place!”

“You have been there.”

Fang Mo shrugged: “I saw you pressing your brother’s head and beating him until his face was bloody…”

“Oh, that time.”

Realizing what was being discussed, Bomb instinctively touched the back of his head and said, “That was decades ago, wasn’t it? I couldn’t bear to see my brother go astray, so I wanted to wake him up with martial arts… But were you really there? I don’t quite remember.”

“Yes, thankfully my brother woke me up.”

Bang sighed: “Otherwise, I might still be a scoundrel today.”

“Like Garou is now?”

Hearing the other party’s statement, Fang Mo suddenly asked.

“Garou…” Hearing his disciple’s name, Bang’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but sigh helplessly: “Indeed, you can’t hide anything from you, Priest. This time, we’ve come here because of him.”

“Oh, I know.”

Fang Mo nodded: “The association just contacted me, saying that Garou has turned into a dragon-level monster now, and they are preparing to notify an S-class hero to subdue him.”

“…What?”

Hearing this, the faces of the Bang brothers clearly changed: “Dragon-level? When did this happen?”

“They say it seems like Garou took down Super Alloy Darkshine. So, that’s why he was classified as dragon-level, I guess.”

According to the reset version of the content, Super Alloy Darkshine could indeed combat some dragon-level monsters. Although he cried for his father and mother after being corroded by the Fuhrer Ugly in the Monster Association chapter, he could withstand attacks from the Evil Natural Water before that, and even monsters like Bug God.

To be honest, even Fang Mo was unclear how Garou managed to defeat Super Alloy Darkshine at this stage.

But due to the fall of Super Alloy Darkshine, the threat level of Garou had obviously increased a notch, otherwise the association would never have classified him as a dragon-level threat.

“Super Alloy Darkshine!?”

Even Bang himself was taken aback upon hearing the news: “He was taken down by that kid Garou? How did he do it?”

“That’s quite frightening.”

Bomb also looked solemn: “I’ve also heard of Super Alloy Darkshine, rumored to be a hero known for his defense. I didn’t expect that he would even be defeated by Garou… I thought he just ambushed Tanktop Master, that S-class hero.”

“This is troublesome.”

Bang took a deep breath, seeming to make a decision: “Indeed, it seems only I can stop him.”

“Or you could put it another way.”

Hearing this, Fang Mo nonchalantly added: “At least until Garou encounters me, Tatsumaki, Blast, or the S-Class Hunting Team, you try to find him first.”

“This…”

Bang’s expression changed slightly.

Indeed, Fang Mo had hit the nail on the head.

He did indeed intend to stop Garou, but he also had a master-disciple relationship with him, so he merely wanted to stop Garou’s wrongdoing.

As for the other S-class heroes… given Garou’s current actions of ambushing and seriously injuring S-class heroes, frankly, even if other heroes ended up killing him, the association probably wouldn’t say much, as they now regarded Garou as something akin to a monster.

So, it seems that within the entire association, perhaps only Bang truly wanted to save Garou, while most others simply wanted to “resolve” him.

“Okay, that’s also one of the reasons I came to find you.”

Bang’s expression shifted several times before he finally sighed deeply: “Anyway, I have a favor to ask you.”

At this point, Bang fell silent.

The next second, he bent his knees, ready to perform a kneeling bow or similar gesture.

“…”

Seeing this, Fang Mo instantly activated the Void Ring, a gentle gravitational field directly lifting Bang’s body, making it impossible for him to kneel down, which somewhat surprised him: “This…”

“There’s no need for that.”

Before Bang could react, Fang Mo waved his hand: “You can slowly return the favor later, but there’s no need for this whole ceremonial business… Remember, not every situation can be resolved by performing a big gesture.”

“Okay.”

Hearing Fang Mo’s words, Bang stood up: “Anyway, I really do have a favor to ask.”

“Speak.”

Fang Mo nodded.

“I will go to stop Garou,” Bang said calmly: “But if I accidentally kill him, I hope you can revive him. As for the price… take my life in exchange.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing Bang say this, Fang Mo gave him a surprised look.

If he remembered correctly, in the original story, Bang asked his brother, Bomb, to stop him if he couldn’t hold back his killing move.

But now… perhaps due to the butterfly effect he caused, Bang had eaten the golden apple, which was not just about becoming young again; this thing was also a sacred object that could potentially rejuvenate one’s physical strength. Bang’s power had increased so much that Bomb probably couldn’t stop him anymore.

So, Bang chose to seek help from him instead.

In his view, perhaps among the S-class heroes, aside from Tatsumaki and Blast… only Fang Mo might be able to help him.

“This is my only request, please.”

Seeing that Fang Mo was silent, Bang bowed his head again and repeated.

“Oh, that’s no problem.” Fang Mo came back to his senses, casually waving his hand: “But before that, could you perform that first?”

“…What?”

Hearing this, Bang seemed taken aback: “That?”

“Just that.”

Fang Mo gestured in mid-air, prompting: “I asked you to perform it at the Hero Association that time, didn’t I? Wasn’t it interrupted by Atomic Samurai then?”

“Oh, you mean Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.”

Realizing what was being referred to, Bang immediately understood and even felt a bit pleased. He hadn’t expected Fang Mo to actually be interested in his martial art. Thinking that his martial art wouldn’t be lost after all, he promptly said: “No problem, I can demonstrate it right now.”

“Let’s go to the gym to box.”

Fang Mo cheerfully summoned the two, and also turned to shout toward the kitchen: “Ah Xue, make some tea.”

“Yes, Master.”

A response soon came from the kitchen.

Fang Mo then led the Bang brothers toward the basement.

However, as Bang reached the living room, he suddenly saw Boros sitting on the couch watching TV, and was instantly stunned.

“Hmm?”

Feeling the gaze, Boros also turned to look their way and noticed Bang immediately, bursting into laughter: “Haha, it’s you, huh? What, you want to challenge me again?”

“It’s really you!”

Hearing the other party’s tone, Bang instantly realized what was happening and turned to look at Fang Mo: “Priest, what is this…?”

“Bang, what’s the matter?”

Being no hero, Bomb was clueless about the situation and looked at his brother confused: “Do you know each other? Is he an enemy?”

“Oh, let me introduce you.”

And it was then that Fang Mo belatedly began introductions.

While speaking, he walked over to Boros, then casually placed a hand on his shoulder, telling the Bang brothers: “This is a buddy I just met; you can call him… Far Sight.”

“Ah?”

Before Bang could say anything, Boros himself was displeased, directly retorting: “Hey hey, Fang Mo, what’s this Far Sight nonsense? I clearly go by Boros…”

“Boros, the Cosmic Overlord, who, after his defeat on Earth, renounced warfare to pursue literature, voluntarily giving up his position as the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves.” Fang Mo continued as if he hadn’t heard Boros’s objection, calmly stating: “He wrote about his cosmic experiences from the first half of his life and published them online on Earth, unexpectedly gaining wide acclaim…”

“What nonsense.”

At this, Boros directly shook his head and roared: “Battle is all I crave, no way I could ever give up fighting!”

“So… what’s actually going on?”

Beside them, Bang couldn’t help but intervene, directly asking Fang Mo: “Priest, did you resurrect Boros? Why?”

“For battle, of course.” Before Fang Mo could speak, Boros jumped in: “True invincibility is very lonely, don’t you understand?”

“This… okay.”

Hearing Boros’s explanation, Bang didn’t know what else to say.

After all, he, Bang, was merely a martial artist with a bit of talent, with even a few in the S-class heroes who could match him.

But this Father was different from him; he had seen him destroy a meteor with a mere wave of his hand, a super meteor that could destroy an entire city… evaporated by his light beam without leaving a trace. And he was said to master many powerful divine arts.

Such a powerful being probably didn’t have any equals in this world, right?

Perhaps that’s why.

He revived this kind of monster.

But thinking about it, Bang suddenly shook his head.

Yes, he was just an outsider himself, having just had the nerve to ask the other to use a resurrection spell, so now he certainly had no right to criticize him, although he revived a monster, but after all, he was an S-class hero, perhaps he had his own considerations.

With that, Bang stopped thinking about this.

“Anyway, let’s go to your training ground first; I’ll demonstrate the complete Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist for you.”

“Oh, this way.”

Fang Mo immediately pointed toward the staircase, and soon they all headed to the basement.

It’s worth noting that Boros was also curious about Bang’s skills, so he followed them to the basement as well.

Even Sonic and the Mumen Rider couldn’t help but follow.

After all, this was the S-ranked third-ranked Silver Fang’s secret technique; being able to watch it up close was certainly a good thing.

Even under the scrutiny of everyone, Bang didn’t hold back and seriously demonstrated the complete Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, even thoughtfully handing a scroll to Fang Mo afterward as a gesture of thanks.

Fang Mo took the scroll and saw it was labeled Exploding Heart Release Fist.

Clearly, this was another martial art Bang had created earlier, but due to its brutal methods and immense power, he had sealed it himself.

Fang Mo wasn’t particularly interested in it.

But Boros was quite intrigued and took the scroll to look it over.

After watching Bang’s martial arts thoroughly, Fang Mo finally triggered a system notification that had previously been half-stuck.
