'Exchange for talent points?'
The battle suit in King's hand showed 500 talent points, and he subsequently collected the battle suits of the other members of the Paradise Group. However, it was clear that Hammerhead's battle suit was of a higher grade. The other suits could only be exchanged for anywhere between several dozen to a hundred points.
"Too few."
King shook his head slightly.
A few hundred talent points were a drop in the bucket for him. It would be better to use them to increase his immediate combat power.
'System, synthesize all the battle suits.'
A flash of light swept across, and all the battle suits vanished from the spot.
"This is?!"
King looked down and saw that, at some point, he had been dressed in black clothes with flame patterns printed on them. Furthermore, the newly synthesized battle suit fit perfectly and did not hinder his movements at all, lacking the heavy feeling of the previous battle suits.
"My overall combat power actually increased to High Demon-level, this battle suit is not simple." King clicked his tongue.
The effect of the Paradise Group battle suit far exceeded his expectations.
[Ding! Battle suit synthesis successful. Consumed 1500 Talent Points, 0 Talent Points remaining.]
"Damn! You didn't leave me a single point!"
King immediately started cursing, but in his heart, he was quite satisfied with the newly synthesized battle suit. This could be considered an unexpected gain.
"Why does this outfit have durability? You're the merchant, do you handle repairs if it breaks?"
[Ding! Repairing the battle suit once costs 5000 Talent Points. The battle suit possesses a growth attribute and will improve along with the host's strength.]
"Five thousand for one repair?"
King's eyes widened, but his heart felt more balanced after hearing the subsequent explanation. He opened the system interface to check.

"I no longer have to worry about my clothes getting torn during battle. I just don't know how effective it is in actual combat."
Whoosh!
A gust of strong wind attacked, and King dodged instantly.
"You could actually dodge my attack? Judging by your clothes, are you part of the Paradise Group?"
A man appeared, with camouflage paint under his eyes, looking every bit like a ninja.
Speed-o-Sound Sonic.
King was excited at this moment. He had just been wanting to find someone to test the effects of the battle suit, the person before him was undoubtedly the best choice.
Whoosh!
Sonic's pupils shrank slightly as King unexpectedly appeared behind him in an instant.
King threw a punch, but it hit an afterimage. Speed-o-Sound Sonic was not famous for nothing, after all.
"You bastard!"
Fury appeared in Sonic's eyes. To have someone get behind him due to a momentary lapse in attention was a great humiliation for someone known for their speed.
"I'll let you witness what true speed is."
Whoosh... Whoosh...
Sonic's figure instantly transformed into dozens of afterimages, weaving frantically around King. His extreme speed made it impossible to distinguish his true position.
"How is it? My supersonic speed."
Clang!
The long sword stabbed into King's battle suit, but it failed to even break the defense.
[Durability decreased by 1%.]
Taking advantage of the moment Sonic was dazed, King grabbed the long sword and shattered it with a light squeeze.
'Both speed and strength have been significantly enhanced.'
Although King could not keep up with Sonic in terms of speed, with the Fighting Spirit bonus to his pure strength, he was still very confident in defeating him.
Wind Blade Kick!
Boom!
Sonic's unexpected strike crashed into King's head, causing him to fall down on the spot.
"Hmph! You're wearing a turtle shell, but unfortunately, your head is unprotected. You can only lament that you encountered someone like me today." Sonic snorted, his eyes filled with disdain.
"But did these guys have some internal conflict? I wonder if there's anyone else left."
Just as Sonic was preparing to continue his search nearby, a voice sounded behind him
.
"You are fast."
"What?!"
Sonic was somewhat surprised. He had landed a solid blow on King's head just now, and no one had ever been able to survive his attack before.
"What is your name?"
Sonic became interested in the masked man before him, but King had no intention of having a friendly exchange with him.
"Talk after you beat me."
"How arrogant!"
Whoosh... Whoosh...
Two figures moved rapidly through the forest, clashing frantically. The surrounding trees fell one after another, kicking up countless clouds of dust.
Hail of Carnage!
Boom... Boom...
Countless Exploding Shuriken exploded around King, submerging his figure.
"Is it an illusion? He seems to be getting faster and faster."
"Where are you looking?"
"What?!"
King threw a punch at Sonic, but it was still an afterimage.
"How does it feel for your attack to miss?"
Two Shadows Burial!
Sonic's figure split into two, his face showing a mocking expression.
'This is the move he used when fighting Genos.' King's gaze turned solemn.
He knew that Sonic was only now truly starting to get serious.
Bang... Bang...
Sure enough, Sonic's speed suddenly increased by a level. The two clones treated King like a ball, knocking him back and forth.
"Get the hell off me!"
King roared and punched the ground, the shockwave forcing Sonic to retreat.
"Heh. A useless struggle. I'll let you witness the gap between us."
Whoosh... Whoosh...
Sonic's clones increased from two to four, surrounding King completely.
Four Shadows Burial: Scattered Flash Slash!
"Feel despair, and remember! The one who killed you is the Ninja Village's strongest, Speed-o-Sound Sonic!"
Savage Tornado!
The corner of King's lips curled into a smirk. The moment Sonic launched his attack, a terrifying tornado suddenly swept all of his clones into it.
Pop... Pop...
Countless punches shattered all of Sonic's clones, and his original body was also caught within.
"Damn it!"
At the critical moment, Sonic threw out dozens of Exploding Shuriken, dispersing the tornado.
"I'll remember you!"
Sonic appeared on a tree trunk not far away. He was currently gasping for breath, looking somewhat disheveled. His ninja outfit also showed several holes. Clearly, King's attack just now had caused him quite a bit of trouble.
"You remember me now? I don't think it's deep enough."
King grinned and concentrated all his power into a single point, instantly unleashing it in Sonic's direction.
Rumble!
The shockwave destroyed the large tree along with Sonic, forming a long trench in the ground.
