however.
"——Understandable, but unforgivable."
You can have ideas about me, but if you are capable enough and I am blessed by the Fighting Spirit Arena but still lose shamefully to my opponents, then I deserve to be caught by you and used as a guinea pig.
But you can’t touch the people around me.
Gong Yangzhen also attended Wu Huiliyang's plan to eliminate the "bugs" throughout the process, but he personally thought it had little effect.
After all, the leader and the master they serve should be thousands of miles away now, and just cutting off a few feathers can only be regarded as insignificant damage.
If we really want to get rid of these guys once and for all—
"As expected, we still have to defeat that person - 'Contact' Shen Wulong."
You know, although "Chong" is an organization that has served "Contacters" for generations, this is a spontaneous behavior, and Shen Wulong himself has never truly regarded "Chong" as his subordinates.
The reason given in the original work is that Shen Wulong's strength is too unbelievable. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to protect world peace, the "Bug" organization must serve him while erasing anything that may anger him from this world in advance?
BYD was so angry about the Rams that they were amused.
However, since the underlying logic is so simple.
So, what would happen if Gong Yang Zhen really defeated Shen Wulong one day?
A true immortal defeated the "man with the power to destroy the world"?
It is conceivable that "Chong" would bow down and acknowledge Gong Yang Zhen as his adoptive father on the spot.
However, as of now, Shen Wulong's true strength is still a mystery. The skills accumulated over thousands of years of experience have already surpassed the realm of mortals. Before Gong Yang Zhen finds a solution, we have to make long-term plans.
"…Speaking of which, we agreed to relax, but why are you thinking about all this nonsense again?"
Unconsciously, he began to put pressure on himself. Gong Yang Zhen closed his eyes slightly, dispelled his chaotic thoughts, and began to quietly enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
The heat from the sauna alone was not enough to cause him pain.
And then, he felt a soft body sitting down next to him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Youba, with long black hair tied up in a towel, looking quite delicate and slender at the moment.
"Yuba, you must have won a lot of money recently."
"Yeah, it's all thanks to you - so do you want to go on a date next? It's my treat."
"……Dating?"
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, making her look a bit like a fox. Li Youba's cherry blossom-colored lips opened and closed, and she whispered something that she had already secretly discussed with everyone.
"Sometimes you do want to be alone, right? So after discussing it with everyone, we decided that the next half day of your stay will belong to us. Do you have any objections?"
Next to her, Nakano Nino looked at her with her bright blue eyes, also full of anticipation.
Chapter 143 Dating
In fact, during the time when Gong Yangzhen returned to Tokyo from Wu Zhili and waited for the start of the fatal elimination match, he had been dating Taozi and Yuba quite a lot. If you must say, they actually went out together not long ago.
However, since arriving at this scenic holiday island, we have either been doing group building or playing on our own, and we have hardly spent any time alone.
Relationships also need to be managed, and this is a very reasonable request.
however.
"… Is this what you call a 'date'?"
At this moment, in the open space in front of the holiday villa where Gong Yang Zhen was temporarily staying, two people stood facing each other. One was Gong Yang Zhen with a slightly strange expression on his face, and the other was Li Youba, who stood there with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.
The attire on the other party at this moment was no longer the modern beauty she usually wore, but the classic skin that Gong Yangzhen had first seen -
The bright red sleeveless cheongsam revealed a pair of white arms, her muscular legs were wrapped in wide kung fu pants, and her feet were wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
The beautiful black hair that was usually casually let down was tied into two playful buns on top of her head, and Miss Yuba once again transformed into Mickey Mouse.
Well, actually it’s the very classic image of Chinese Kung Fu Girl in ACG works.
This is the work clothes that Li Youba wears when she works in the medium-sized fighting group under the Canchi Group...not only for convenience in exercise, but also because this set of clothes can bring her tangible benefits.
There, the players' income is not only tied to their fighting ability, but their popularity outside the stadium is also a very important influencing factor.
After all, not all fighting groups are like Kengankai, which has countless companies of all sizes investing in its operations. Their pursuit of profit motive dictates that they need to put the audience's perception first.
Such a character that actively conforms to the Japanese stereotype of Chinese girls is naturally easy to leave an impression on people - this is Li Youba's amazing wisdom, she is a professional when it comes to making money.
Why is this Kung Fu girl wearing her work uniform now?
"——After all, you said you wanted to hire me as your sparring partner."
"…You still remember it in your heart."
if not?
This was the beginning of their fate. The boy's tentative words that day are still ringing in my ears.
Although it was left unresolved for unknown reasons... thinking about Gong Yang Zhen's various inhuman-level performances since he came to the island, Li Youba actually had a vague answer in his heart.
——Maybe it’s because our little wolf cub is growing stronger too quickly.
If the gap in the level of the two sparring partners is too great, the role of the sparring partner can be said to be minimal.
Although she considers herself to be one of the outstanding female fighters, Li Youba still has a relatively clear understanding of herself.
With her level, she is more than capable of stirring up trouble in the women's group, but in the men's group...
Honestly speaking, those contestants who were eliminated in the first round of 32 could put a lot of pressure on Miss Li. If they really faced each other, she would surely lose.
But even in this world full of monsters, Gong Yang Zhen was able to make it all the way to the semi-finals in an invincible manner and was on the verge of winning the final.
This made Li Youba feel relieved, but also a little disappointed for some reason.
Needless to say, she was very happy. She had watched this child grow up. They had even been master and apprentice in the past... Eh? Why did it seem a bit strange to talk about this now?
In short, the opponent is better than me, and his Chinese boxing skills are now even better than mine. As a master, how can I not be pleased?
As for the loss.
That was probably because of melancholy. The little boy who was looked down upon by her when he first stood on the stage had now unknowingly stepped onto the most prestigious stage and was about to be crowned the king - but she could no longer do anything to help him.
"...Anyway, let me check your work one last time. I've been standing by and watching, but I want to experience the power that can be seen with my own eyes."
At this moment, opposite Gong Yang Zhen, his smile faded slightly, and Li Youba slowly assumed the "three-body pose".
--bring it on.
Let me see the higher realm of "Zhen Yi Liu He Quan"... Let me see the scenery at a higher place!
"..."
Looking at this scene, Gong Yang Zhen pursed his lips slightly, and then also did the "three-body stance", with both sides' forearms connected as if pushing hands.
Honestly, the timing wasn't very good.
Now was the moment when Gong Yang Zhen's hands were stained with blood, and he could no longer suppress his murderous urge. He could still control his own strength accurately, but if his mentality was unbalanced during the battle, there was a danger of accidentally using "Giant Devouring" to injure someone by mistake.
...Other people may also have such concerns.
But when it comes to Li Youba, Gong Yang Zhen has 100% confidence - he will not fail.
"By the way, I've always thought your outfit looks pretty good. How about tonight...?"
"Look, look at your performance!"
The two people over there were enjoying a different kind of alone time. At the same time, on the other side, although Nakano Nino was looking forward to her own date time, at this moment she was looking at Nakano Miku with a strange expression.
He already knew that his sister seemed to be in danger, so it was natural for him to comfort her or show concern for her at this moment.
But she vaguely felt something was going on and Nino Nakano had some things to say.
"Miku."
“…What are you doing?”
"Answer my question honestly and I promise I won't be angry - do you have any feelings for Ah Zhen?"
"?!"
"Nino, don't say these things that insult my intelligence - he is your boyfriend, my brother-in-law of Nakano Miku, how could I desire some unrealistic and obscene things?"
——Nakano Miku originally wanted to scold Nakano Nino like this.
But for some reason, perhaps driven by some inexplicable emotion, she did not deny it outright. She just covered her face with the book and turned away, mumbling: "...I don't know what you are talking about."
"——Don't come on."
The quintuplets grew up together and have almost no secrets from each other, let alone Nino and Miku, who seem to be at odds with each other but actually have the best relationship.
It was obvious at first glance that the other party was not being sincere, but Nakano Nino surprisingly did not show any anger or disappointment... This girl, who could be said to be the one whose thoughts were closest to those of an ordinary woman among Gong Yang Zhen's girlfriends, seemed to have undergone some subtle changes in her ideas.
"I didn't expect you to be able to do that... Oh, forget it."
Without saying anything, as if nothing had happened, she just walked away secretly thinking about something, leaving Nakano Miku behind her, who was secretly observing her expression out of the corner of her eye and showed a slightly confused look.
what's the situation?
Chapter 144: The Third Battle
Let’s turn the camera back to Gong Yang Zhen and Li Youba.
The outcome of the two men's fight was obvious. Whether in terms of basic quality or technical level, the gap between the two sides was huge. Li Youba didn't understand things like "super intuition" and "first before the first", but seeing that Gong Yangzhen could always predict his moves easily, he couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.
"…Is this 'understanding strength'?"
It’s not clear, but this is a state that Li Youba has never seen or heard of before, and it makes her feel like she has no idea where to start.
Instead, Gong Yang Zhen easily seized the moment of her opportunity, and with a swift and smooth movement, he quietly squeezed into Li Youba's inner circle, pretending to strike out with a "half-step collapse punch".
The action was so natural and swift that before he came to his senses, the fist as big as a clay pot was already touching his lower abdomen. He felt a burning sensation and reacted instantly as if he had been electrocuted.
Transform your strength and eliminate energy!
however.
"Eh?!"
He had no intention of actually throwing this punch to hurt Li Youba. Seeing that the opponent was about to kick the ground to dissipate the force of his punch, Gong Yang Zhen immediately followed suit.
Change the fist to the back of the palm, twelve forms——
Dragon shape!
The moment his feet slightly left the ground, Li Youba suddenly realized that although his body was still his own, it seemed like he had a different boss and was no longer under his control.
All the strength in her body was completely drawn and manipulated by Gong Yang Zhen. She raised her light body high up, and Gong Yang Zhen used this powerful throw derived from the "Dragon Shape Chop" with ease, but he changed the throw into a throw and threw Li Youba away in an instant.
follow closely--
A pair of arms, almost as thick as Li Youba's thighs, held her in mid-air.
"——Checkmate."
Indeed, he did not use any other martial arts skills during the whole process. Relying only on basic skills and Zhenyi Liuhequan, Gong Yangzhen easily defeated his own Kung Fu mother. At this moment, the opponent's soft body was held in his arms, her feet were off the ground, she had no leverage, and the strength of her core and limbs was completely unable to break free from his grip.
As he said - checkmate.
Unable to save the situation, Li Youba had no intention of struggling. She just gently hugged Gong Yangzhen's neck, buried her little face in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "...It's so easy to lose. I thought I could hold on a little longer."
Gong Yangzhen chuckled: "——Letting you hold on for one more second would be disrespectful to my Master Xiao Li. I am a disciple of a famous master."
"Hee. Come on - you are self-taught, it has nothing to do with me."
Originally, she felt a little melancholy, but was slightly amused by Gong Yang Zhen's words. This usually dull guy's occasional jokes always made Li Youba feel so interesting.
At this moment, she had no intention of getting off Gong Yang Zhen. She hung on him like a koala. After a long time, she sighed as if relieved, "My horizons have been broadened. I feel that the 'Slaughter Fighting Association' is just a small fight - I am just the frog in the well."
"This is the level of the top fighters in the top fighting groups. Zhen, you are not the strongest in the world, are you?"
"…It's too early to say that. We're only in the semifinals, and I'm not even the strongest in Kengankai."
At present, these are just minor fights. That man, that "magic spear" Kuroki Gensai is still waiting for him in the finals.
Besides, the strongest in the world?
There is someone else in that position right now.
Thinking of the immortal named Shen Wulong, Gong Yang Zhen couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with fighting spirit again.
This inhuman strong man created by thousands of years of technology can be called an immortal. Even the "magic spear" at the top of martial arts can only barely hold off him who has no intention of fighting. He is almost in a different dimension from other people.
However, Gong Yangzhen was determined to knock down this monster. It was not entirely for revenge or conflict of interest, but more because Gong Yangzhen had his eyes on the other party's hat.
The hat called "The World's Strongest".
