One renowned media outlet after another rushed to air this news. These world-famous networks and media giants reached over 50% of the global population!Countless foreigners, upon seeing the news on their televisions and media feeds, looked up in astonishment, their jaws dropping to the floor. Never before had they witnessed an entertainment program offering a $500 million grand prize!"Good heavens! How can Elysia be so extravagant? The prize money is astronomical!""Brother, I've been hunting since childhood and I'm in peak physical condition. I'm going for that prize money!""Let's go together! I've practiced freestyle fighting for years.

Evan's body, enhanced by Top-level Taekwondo, possessed immense strength. Even using a mere fraction of his power was beyond what an ordinary person like George Gonzalez could withstand.BOOM!A thunderous crash echoed as George Gonzalez soared over the heads of the crowd, colliding violently with the elastic ropes of a nearby ring.The impact was so forceful that the ropes snapped instantly."What the—!"The stadium, previously as noisy as a bustling marketplace, fell into a deathly silence. All eyes were fixed on this unbelievable scene.It's worth noting that although George Gonzalez appeared scrawny, he was still a grown man standing at about 5'8", weighing at least 150 pounds. Yet he had been effortlessly swatted through the air, flying over everyone's heads and breaking the ring's ropes!The silence was quickly shattered by an eruption of astonished chatter."What just happened? Did someone fly over my head?""Hey, didn't you see? Those two were arguing, and then the masked guy

Among all the preliminary contestants, only Mr. Smith would dare to participate while masked.However, just as Adam was about to leave the control room to greet Evan, he witnessed George Gonzalez attempting to extort Mr. Smith."This is bad! Given the atmosphere in the stadium and Mr. Smith's temperament, a fight is bound to break out!"Adam glanced at the reporters in the stadium on the monitor screen and inwardly cursed.Mr. Smith had no desire for fame!Just yesterday, after defeating that arrogant Nikrosian in Metropolis City, he had called Adam to handle the aftermath.Wasn't that a clear indication that he wished to remain anonymous?So, Adam assumed Mr. Smith still wanted to keep a low profile today, just like yesterday.He hastily contacted TikToC's security team, instructing them to escort the reporters to the control room for an impromptu meeting.Only after Mr. Smith had finished his altercation did Adam release them all.The bewildered reporters couldn't fathom why they ha

"He's here! The morning's One-Punch Man has arrived!""The enigmatic masked fighter is back!""I wonder if he'll clinch victory with a single move again this afternoon. The anticipation is killing me!"In stark contrast, the older, more seasoned martial arts masters wore grave expressions, their eyes clouded with a complex mix of emotions, their hearts a tumultuous sea of conflicting feelings.Evan cast a fleeting glance around the arena, taking in the myriad expressions of those present. A faint smile played on his lips as he leisurely made his way towards Ring Seven, hands clasped behind his back.As he walked, head slightly bowed, gently yet firmly pushing aside the throngs of people surging towards him, a man clutching a microphone and trailed by a camera operator intercepted his path."Excuse me, sir. I'm a field reporter from WGN America. We'd like to interview you briefly.""I apologize, but I must decline. This isn't an opportune moment for an interview," Evan replied, extendi

"Heavens above! Who is he? How can he possess such an overwhelming aura?" Even among the spectators, those of grandmaster level couldn't help but exclaim in shock, their pupils constricting at the sight before them.On the platform, Kenneth Boyd was visibly unsettled. His brow furrowed as he inwardly cursed his predicament. Had he known the masked man was this formidable, he would never have accepted Fred Gonzalez's $80 million offer."I'm about to make my move. Prepare yourself!" Evan's eyes snapped open as he launched himself forward with explosive force. His form blurred into a mere afterimage as he closed the distance, his hand raised to deliver a single, decisive slap to Kenneth Boyd's face.The audience could only perceive a series of phantom images streaking across Ring Seven towards Kenneth Boyd."Crack!"The crisp sound of a palm striking flesh rang out.Kenneth Boyd was instantly sent flying off the platform.The spectators stood in stunned silence, their eyes wide with disb
