Me and countless me.

Chapter 542 The Discovered Monster
In the evening, in the car on the way to the Kengan Association match.

"Mr. Li Ke...you look very... haggard?"

Li Ke's new editor, watching Li Ke constantly chewing chocolate, couldn't help but ask another question. Li Ke looked extremely hungry and seemed to have been awake all along, making one worry that he might die at any moment.

Li Ke was speechless, looking at this man who seemed to know nothing. She could only roll her eyes in exasperation.

The reason he looked so weak was, of course, thanks to Touxia and the other two. They were like machines of desire, and when he lost his fighting ability, they dragged him into the house and did all sorts of things to him, as if he, Li Ke, was the one being coerced by money and debt.

However, he did not intend to blame the three women, after all, that was their nature, and he himself had not been able to control himself. But he did need to restrain himself, since he was not invincible at this moment, nor did he have extraordinary physical strength, so he had indeed indulged himself a bit.

"Yes, sometimes I even think about learning martial arts. Speaking of which, editor, how are the fighters of the Kengan Association selected? I'm very curious about that."

The editor paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"Is Mr. Li Ke interested in fighting and gangster themes?"

Li Ke nodded, without telling the other person that he asked because he wanted to become a fighter in the Kengan Association. After all, if he really told them, they wouldn't tell him.

"I guess so, since detective novels usually involve some underworld stuff."

His words made the editor nod before he spoke.

"Usually, they invite well-known fighters, successors of various karate fighting styles, or famous figures in underground boxing, so gangsters appear from time to time. However, Mr. Li Ke, it would be better if the Kengan Association's shadow appeared in novels and comics, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone."

"Of course."

Li Ke nodded, planning to find an underground boxing match tonight. After all, formal combat sports events last a very long time, and it would take at least a year and a half to make a name for oneself, and one would also need to match various opponents.

Once he shows his talent and is enough to attract people to the Kung Fu Association, his Water Lily Inn will probably be full.

As Li Ke was pondering this, he saw many cars belonging to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. After the cars stopped, Li Ke followed his editor into this event, which was only open to the truly powerful and wealthy, and went to the audience seats.

There were even more luxurious VIP seats next to the audience seats, but those were not places for someone of Li Ke's social status and wealth, because Li Ke saw many heirs of conglomerates and group bosses there.

He didn't say anything, just silently watched as the two groups placed their bets with their respective shares, followed by the introduction and entrance of the fighters, but—

“Disappointing.”

Li Ke frowned as he watched the fight between the two fighters below.

Amidst the fervent shouts of these powerful figures, the battle between the two fighters looked incredibly exciting, but Li Ke couldn't sense any aura of 'strong'.

The two constantly battling fighters were not fighting for their beliefs, but simply for money and wealth.

It's not that such a belief can't make someone strong, but rather that their belief in these things isn't strong enough. So, although their moves look impressive and good, even the most exquisite moves are nothing special in Li Ke's eyes. Moreover, in this world with a fantasy worldview, a fist without belief cannot defeat those fighters who have belief.

So even though the two fighters below had muscles and physiques far superior to Aoyama Motoko's, Li Ke had no interest whatsoever, and even couldn't help but yawn as he looked at them.

However, the editors around him were excited, but Li Ke knew that what he was seeing was not a battle between two fighters, but a change in the equity that the two fighters represented!

As long as one person loses, regardless of who it is, the winners will certainly win big, but these bystanders can also make enough profit through stocks and other means, which is basically stock manipulation.

After all, even if the two sides of the Kengan Association exchanged stocks, it would still take some time for the results to be reflected in the stock market, so there is plenty of time to take action.

He brought Li Ke here for this very reason: to show Li Ke more opportunities to get rich quickly, so that she would be unable to leave this privilege.

So at this moment, he was completely focused on the battle off the field, not noticing that Li Ke was so bored that he was yawning.

However, at that moment, a soft laugh reached Li Ke's ears.

"Oh dear, young man, you don't seem to enjoy the fighting here?"

A somewhat flirtatious female voice appeared behind Li Ke. Li Ke was startled because he did not sense any presence.

Although his current physical condition doesn't allow him to perceive everything around him like other Li Kes, those who can get close to him are definitely not ordinary people.

So he almost immediately prepared to fight, and with the help of the reflection from his phone, he saw a pair of eyes with black background and white eyes, completely reversed from normal eyes!

"Well, so what?"

Li Ke slowly turned around, but his posture allowed him to kick out at any moment. Upon seeing this, the owner of those eyes couldn't help but reveal an expression of ecstatic joy, and then couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

"You look really strong."

She could sense Li Ke's inner desire for struggle and his disdain for this kind of boring battle. Beside her, a voluptuous woman glanced at Li Ke, and although she couldn't help but take another look at Li Ke's muscles, she still couldn't help but speak up.

"Garuda, don't cause me any trouble."

She was dressed like an elite, and Li Ke had seen this woman in the news before. If he remembered correctly, she was the principal of the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy. But it seemed that the Royal Sakura Group also wanted to get involved in the Kengan Association.

"Because it's boring, these underground battles are completely meaningless. Or rather, even if these two people attacked together, they would probably be defeated by this guy! If you want to find a reliable fighter, inviting the person in front of you might be the best choice."

However, the girl named Garuda still looked at Li Ke with a fanatical expression, and licked her lips again, uttering some truly shocking words.

"How about this guy, I marry him and we have kids?"

She had a premonition that as long as she could give birth to Li Ke's child, that child would undoubtedly be the strongest child in the entire Wu clan!

Although Li Ke's hands and body don't show the calluses of a fighter, and she looks more like a cartoonist and writer, she can't be wrong about that savage, ferocious feeling!
No, it's a feeling even more terrifying than the ferocious beasts of the wilderness. It's the feeling of a beast that sits high above the heavens, looking down on everyone with equality!

Moreover, before Li Ke stopped yawning, she hadn't even noticed him, as if he didn't exist. But after noticing him, she realized it wasn't a problem with her perception; rather, Li Ke's presence was like an elephant in a house! His body was playing dead! Refusing to reveal what was there, as if afraid of dying!

This made her incredibly excited, and she wanted to play a game with Li Ke.

Yes, she wanted to start a game. The Wu clan was a clan that constantly absorbed the bloodlines of the strong; they had a gene in their bones that wanted to have children with the strong. Therefore, at this moment, she wanted to start a game with Li Ke more than fight him! "Huh?"

Li Ke's eyes widened. He could sense that the girl opposite him was serious. If he agreed, she could even take off her clothes and play a game with him right now, completely disregarding the opinions of others.

But this is just too strange.

So Li Ke couldn't help but complain.

"I'd rather fight with you than have your child."

He could sense that the girl opposite him was very strong, and her conviction was also very strong, but before he could finish his suggestion, the girl spoke up, panting heavily.

"No, that won't do. If I were to fight you right now, I'd probably just lie down and spread my legs!"

The girl covered her chest, completely unaware that her employer behind her was wearing an indescribable expression.

Li Ke: "…………"

Are there really that many overpowered and ruthless techniques in the world of fighting games?

However, the editor next to him suddenly realized what was happening. After seeing Li Ke and Wu Jialouluo's expressions and recalling their conversation, he hurriedly spoke up.

"Miss Wu, please don't be ridiculous. How could Mr. Li Ke possibly become a combatant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke subconsciously looked to the side, because another powerful aura appeared there, and a seemingly lazy figure stood up, making Li Ke realize that this was another formidable enemy.

"Perhaps the young lady from the Wu clan wasn't wrong? He is indeed a very strong fighter."

Upon seeing the person stand up, the editor couldn't help but speak in astonishment.

"Mr. Furinji Hayato?! What brings you here?"

The man named Fenglin Temple slowly stood up, and behind him, a man who looked like a thug also smiled at Li Ke.

In an instant, Li Ke felt a 'circle' on these people shatter, and instantly sensed their powerful aura and fighting spirit.

"I recently bought a bit more calligraphy and paintings, so I'm a little short on funds. That's why I came to check out the competition and see if there are any promising talents. But it seems that my impulsive decision to come out this time was definitely the right one."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Ke, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"But unexpectedly, I saw someone just like Yujiro, a 'natural monster.' How about that, feeling 'bored,' right?"

Thinking of that thing that could be considered an alien, the 'old man' named Hayato Fuurinji didn't want to continue talking about this topic and instead looked at Li Ke.

"what?"

Li Ke's editor stared at Li Ke in astonishment, only to see that Li Ke had already taken off her jacket and put it in her arms, which was then snatched away by the girl named Wu Jialouluo.

Li Ke paid no attention to any of this. Instead, he looked into the old man's eyes, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"So, wanna play a round?"

He stretched out his hand, wanting to challenge the crowd in front of him, while Furinji Hayato couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Li Ke's hand.

Although many people felt that his title of invincible superman was undeserved due to the existence of magicians and the like in this world, he had never actually encountered an enemy who could defeat him in all his years of dominance. He even had the experience of fighting to the death with a true god. So, when faced with Li Ke's challenge, he simply smiled.

"While I also look forward to fighting you, you're probably not strong enough to break through my defenses right now, are you?"

He remained calm because although Li Ke had the potential to fight him, or even kill him, Li Ke's physical condition at this moment was completely incompatible with the threat he posed. To be precise, he even had difficulty fighting the experts around him.

However, a man next to him, whose hands were calloused and clearly belonged to a karate practitioner, paused for a moment after hearing his words, and then couldn't help but speak up.

"Is it just that you can't break through Elder's defenses?"

This surprised him somewhat, because in his view, while Li Ke's muscles were quite impressive, his internal energy wasn't very strong, and he didn't seem to be able to control it at all times. He didn't seem like a master at all. However, the elder's words implied something else entirely—

The boy in front of them can break through their defenses! He can break through their air superiority, and then there's a chance he can take them down!
He would absolutely not believe it if it were someone else.

But if it's the words of the invincible superman Furinji Hayato, an elder of Ryōzanpaku, then we have no choice but to believe them!
"Well, I guess so. After all, he's a 'natural monster,' didn't you feel it? That vague sense of mortal danger and the feeling of being caught up? He just lacks energy and strength. If it really came down to a fight, he would probably be a very frightening opponent."

Hayato Furinji stroked his beard and uttered some rather shocking words, causing this karate master to look at Li Ke involuntarily.

"To make even you, Elder, feel a sense of dread?"

He carefully sensed Li Ke, but he couldn't sense the deadly feeling the elder had mentioned. Instead, he felt a sense of urgency that he would be caught up, which made him excited.

So he couldn't help but speak up.

"This looks interesting, kid. Since you're from the Laisheng Group, are you interested in going to Liangshanbo? We're somewhat related to the Laisheng Group, so training you wouldn't be a big deal."

He wanted to fight Li Ke, but just as Hayato Furinji said, Li Ke's strength and energy were too weak at the moment, and he was no match for him. So he wanted to train Li Ke a bit before making him his opponent.

However, Li Ke shook his head.

"No, I have my own way of exercising, and..."

He extended the invitation again.

"...I'd much rather find a place and fight you!"
