Starting from one punch, I will not be a human being Chapter 016

“Face the storm!”

With a low roar, a high-speed rotating airflow barrier—or wind wall for short—suddenly formed in front of Han Sen.

The rapidly flowing cyan airflow cascaded down like a waterfall, almost spanning the entire space, looking quite spectacular!

Although its defensive power was yet unknown, its stylishness had undoubtedly been maxed out.

After a period of experimentation, Han Sen successfully mastered various ways to use wind power.

For example, strengthening himself, buffing attacks, and he even had a sudden idea to integrate it into “Scorching Bullet” to enhance the speed and penetration of the move!

He even manipulated the airflow to lift his heavy body slowly off the ground, floating unsteadily in mid-air.

Just maintaining the levitation brought about a violent gust of wind.

Countless invisible wind blades cut the entire interior of the nest into a pockmarked mess, with (shattered rocks) splattering everywhere.

Although he flew crookedly and with great effort, Han Sen was quite satisfied.

After all, he had successfully taken the first step from 0 to 1, having initially developed the ability to fly.

“Swift Wind” greatly enriched his mobility and tactical choices. Han Sen turned his attention to another ability that he anticipated even more—

“Monsterization”!

For him, a transmigrator, being able to shed this neither-human-nor-ghost monster form and return to being human again obviously held extraordinary significance!

As his will commanded, the ability activated—

“Monsterization: Human Form Transformation”!

Crack…！

Crack…！

Crack…！

An invisible force, completely different from before, acted upon Han Sen’s body. First, there was a series of teeth-grinding bone friction and carapace contraction sounds!

In an instant, the hideous armor covering his entire body emitted fine sounds, not of cracking, but of (wriggling) and contracting like a living thing, rapidly sinking beneath his skin.

His originally over three-meter-tall massive body also began to shrink at a visible speed. Muscle fibers and bone structures rapidly completed unscientific reshaping under a nearly regular force.

In just a few seconds, the terrifying monster that had been full of oppressive presence disappeared.

In its place was a young male, approximately one meter ninety-five tall, with a cold and heroic face.

He had a slender build, well-proportioned muscles, with what should be large being large, and what should be hard being hard—

Referring to strong pectorals and bulging biceps.

His short black hair was neat and sharp, his facial features were distinct, with a high nose bridge and thin lips.

Combined, they formed a handsome face that would make most human males feel ashamed of themselves.

If one ignored the pair of demonic eyes that occasionally flashed with a hint of non-human crimson, and the faintly emanating monster aura from his naked, strong body.

Purely in terms of looks, he was definitely a top-tier handsome guy who could make countless girls scream, even more attractive than the peak Yanzu of his world before transmigration.

It was Han Sen’s handsome face from before he transmigrated.

He couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch his cheek, looking at his clearly jointed human hand, feeling a moment of trance.

Although not long had passed since his transmigration, Han Sen felt as if a century had gone by.

To possess a human body again after so long, this feeling was complex and inexplicable.

“Although I’m no longer human, I’ve become stronger! But this feeling of being human again… it’s not bad!”

Collecting himself, Han Sen then noticed the many issues with this human body.

In human form, his strength, speed, and defense were significantly reduced.

The power within his body felt as if it had been shackled by a thick layer, operating sluggishly, and his strength was greatly weakened.

In this state, let alone a Demon-level, he would probably struggle to handle even an ordinary Tiger-level monster.

“And there are more problems than just these.”

After a frantic run and a few punches, Han Sen exhaled a turbid breath tiredly, analyzing in his mind: “After all, the copied ability is significantly weakened. Not only is my strength severely reduced after form switching, but the maintenance of the form is also not stable enough.”

“I estimate that human heroes above A-class would easily detect the sense of incongruity and the hard-to-hide monster aura on me.”

Frowning, Han Sen came to a conclusion.

“Sure enough, Lv 1 ‘Monsterization’ is still too forced.”

To perfectly integrate into human society, this ability must be upgraded to a higher level, or even evolve.

As Han Sen deactivated the ability and returned to his monster form, a strange feeling suddenly surged into his heart.

Abilities copied by the system did not require training to be directly mastered, which meant they came with a decent proficiency bonus. Therefore, Han Sen keenly noticed—

Besides being able to conventionally use “Monsterization” to freely switch between human and monster forms, he could also “Monsterize” again on the basis of his monster body!

Feeling the information feedback from the ability itself, Han Sen himself was somewhat speechless.

“…What is this, a bug exploit?”

However, after thinking about it, he immediately felt relieved.

Others mastered “Monsterization” in a human state, but when he obtained this ability through the system, he was already a mature monster!

Given the illogical and strange rules of this world, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it!

“…Then, shall I give it a try?”

Anyway, trying it costs nothing!

With an indifferent mindset, Han Sen activated the ability again.

This time, he no longer thought about reversely switching to human form, but rather “Monsterizing” again on his current basis!

HenShin! (Transform!)

Boom—!

A terrifying aura erupted. At this moment, Han Sen’s aura soared wildly, rising steadily!

His pitch-black body, already the size of a general, swelled once more. The magma-like crimson patterns on the surface of his carapace suddenly glowed with dazzling red light.

In an instant, he crossed multiple ranks, his strength directly approaching the peak of Demon-level!!

Completely! Insane!!

Inside Han Sen’s territory.

Noticing the sudden tremor of the ground and rock walls, countless Wolf-level monsters were still full of confusion, while Sharp Fang and a group of Tiger-level monsters immediately looked towards the direction of Han Sen’s nest.

“Lord… seems to have gotten stronger again?”

“Although we’re somewhat used to it, this is too outrageous, isn’t it…?”

“Indeed, breaking through at the drop of a hat, it’s as if he can get stronger just by drinking water and eating meat…”

“…”

In the underground space, the monster subordinates discussed amongst themselves.

Inside the nest, Han Sen himself was incredibly shocked!

“Holy crap…!!”

“This power!!!”

Vast power seemed to spontaneously generate within his body like water without a source. The strange thing was, his body, with its bulging muscles, felt no strain whatsoever.

This bizarre development left Han Sen himself somewhat numb!

Just, just like that, he became stronger again so effortlessly!?

What a bug exploit!

But upon closer thought, this was indeed the correct way to unleash the twisted life form that is a monster!

There was no need for arduous training or cultivation; a simple trigger could break through the current disaster level, and strength would skyrocket in an incomprehensible manner!

This was the most troublesome aspect of monsters!

Mastering the transformation ability while unexpectedly getting a free burst-mode transformation ability, Han Sen was in an exceptionally good mood.

“I didn’t expect that less than three days after becoming a monster, I’d master the villain’s essential second-stage form.”

“Then, this move shall be called ‘Monsterization Stage Two’!”
