Chapter 435 Blue Team (Part 2)
Before Wu could transform, it looked like there was a type of routine that he would need to perform. He let out a few punches as they neared the beasts, and he got into a stance. Sweat started to cover his body, and in less than a second there seemed to be a pool of water below his feet. It was amazing in a way how a person was able to sweat so fast. Focused on the pool of water, it was only then did Gary notice the two antennas on his head.
‘What type of Altered is he?’ Gary thought.
Looking at Wu again, he could see his forearms were slightly larger compared to before, but there looked to be little difference on the rest of his body. He could only a.s.sume it was a partial transformation but even then, what difference would a pair of antennas make?
“I know that I don’t look as impressive as those two, but I promise you, as long as we’re talking pure strength, I’m no weaker than Apollo.”
At the same time, Gary had transformed himself, though he didn’t fully transform into his Werewolf Form yet. Apart from his shoulders, his legs turned into that of a Werewolf, providing him with extra speed, enough to reach Wu’s side.
“I"m sorry, but I have no clue how strong Apollo is, so I don’t know how strong you are.” Gary commented with a smile. Wu saw this smile and, coupled with the green haired teenager’s earlier remarks, he realised that Gary didn’t seem tense at all. Rather than a life and death battle, he appeared to be treating it like a spar or a match.
Meanwhile, Snow was continuing to distract the beast, mainly fighting concentrating on one head. He would jump off the ground, from his legs, and throw out a punch straight to the left head, hoping to take it out. It was damaging the beast, but it hadn’t been doing major damage.
Snow would have been able to do a stronger attack, but he was being careful, worried that the beast might hide some nasty surprises. There was no need to overexert himself if the others were there to help, and he knew Wu would be the one to help.
‘If Green hair helps then it"s a bonus, but me and Wu will be able to take on this beast. I guess that"s why they had made the teams like this in the first place.’ Snow thought.
While charging forward, both Wu and Gary had readied their fist, and at the first opportunity they threw it out right at the side of the beast"s body. Turning his head slightly, Wu was surprised.
‘His punch is as fast as mine… and he hasn’t even transformed fully. I hate to admit it, but Apollo was dead on about him being more than meets the eye.’
The second their fists. .h.i.t the wall of muscle that was the hide from the beast, it rippled, and the entire body of the beast was lifted on its side… before it crashed into the wall. Snow was left there stunned because one moment the beast was in front of him, and the next it wasn’t.
“Whoa!” Snow exclaimed. “Well, it looks like you guys finally woke up. Wu, it looks like your nightly training is paying off. I’ve been hoping for you to damage it, not send it flying away. I know they said there aren;t any points for this lesson and stuff, but man you earned some big ones there if there are.”
Wu didn’t say anything, he just glanced at Gary by his side. It was hard to tell which hit had been stronger, but he wasn’t arrogant enough to believe that he could have managed this feat on his own.
Either way, the beast wasn’t dead yet, a bit of black blood had come out of its mouth as it got back up, and it started to growl deeply. Drool dropped from its mouth covered in blood, and it looked like it still had plenty of fight in it.
It sprung off the ground and leapt up in the air from where it was. Its mouths opened wide looking at both Wu and Snow as tasty snacks. Snow jumped back, while Wu was getting ready to hit the beast from below.
However, at the same time, the large tail had grown in length and had swung to its side, looking to hit them. Seeing this, Gary moved to the side and wanted to take care of the tail. Judging by the speed of its jump, he was sure that his current power would be insufficient.

Gary’s size started to change, and the next second he grabbed the beast’s tail. His foot dug in and with all his strength he was able to stop the tail from hitting the others. Lifting his hand, he slashed it towards the base of the tail, making a deep cut, then pulling with all his might he had ripped the tail off.
Blood spilt all over the floor, and turning around, Gary stopped his transformation as he could see that both Wu and Snow had finished the beast off.
“Hey, man, you could have helped as we-"" Snow stopped his complaint the second he saw the Werewolf with a giant part of the beast tail held in his hand.
The two of them hadn’t noticed that he was doing his part as well.
