I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 238

"It seems that Lin Yu has been forced into a desperate situation. Facing the traditional power-type Edmund Honda, he doesn't seem to have..."

As the commentary sounded, Lin Yu on the screen had a broken arm, and her exposed arm and cheek were bruised in many places. She rolled on the ground with a determined look in her eyes, using her broken arm as a cushion, and narrowly avoided a huge hand that was whistling towards her. Grasping this hard-earned opportunity to take the initiative, her body suddenly lit up with a dark red light.

【Sangliu·Death Point】

"I lost, what a pity, our compatibility is too bad."

Lin Xi shook his head slightly, having basically determined that Lin Yu was going to lose this match. Thinking about it carefully, among the fifteen opponents, the one his girl would surely defeat was the weakest Jamie White. The only opponent she had a chance of defeating was the duo of Mai Zhuo and Weiss. The others were completely overwhelming in terms of actual strength and fighting experience, so it would be difficult for her to win.

If it were the first class, Lin Yu would still have a chance to shine. Atton, who was at the level of the first class, could be considered a match for her. Unfortunately, the master and disciple Sagat, who had already become enemies, were hunted down and wanted because of Ying Luo's premature dominance, and no one knew where they had gone.

"Contestant Lin Xi, please prepare to go on stage."

The first match to end was between Yuan and Mai Zhuo. Mai Zhuo surrendered right after he came on the field and left the field at the speed of light. It was quite embarrassing, but he didn't care about winning or losing the fight.

It's my turn.

Lin Xi stood up and stretched his muscles, opened the door and walked through the player passage. Less than a minute later, he was standing on the field after a long absence.

"come on!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Lin Xi! Lin Xi!"

Thunderous cheers came from the audience. Even Lin Xi's boredom and disappointment in the face of the rookie were diluted by the excitement of being on the stage under the attention of the crowd. Looking at Jamie White who gradually stopped a few meters away, his expression did not change, he just stood there quietly.

"Go!!!" the referee roared.

"He's getting excited." Vanessa, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, laughed happily, "What an understanding man..."

Crimson Viper put her hands on the railing and smiled, "Have you thought about how to give him a surprise?" Ever since they separated that night, she always felt that something was wrong. Even though all the developments were consistent with the profiler's inference, she had been an agent for so long and had been on the brink of life and death so many times that she always believed in her intuition.

So he reported to his superiors that night and strongly requested that Vanessa be seconded to carry out the mission together.

In fact, for such a big thing as saving America, there is no need for Lin Xi to take action. There are many people who are capable of defeating Keith Howard. In Nanzhen alone, there is the contemporary Extreme Flow master Sakazaki Ryo, who defeated Keith at the age of 20. Now he is in his prime. No matter how you think about it, there is no reason for him to lose.

It's just that Crimson Viper's boss has always been paying attention to fighters in Asia, hoping to take this opportunity to recruit a strong man who may stand at the top of the world fighters in the future. For this reason, he even offered her the condition of allowing her to cancel her identity with her daughter, receive a large pension, and retire to Europe.

At that time, she felt that she had some friendship with Lin Xi and had a chance to make this happen, but she didn't expect that as soon as Vanessa was mentioned, the other party would turn hostile. This unexpected reaction instantly set off alarm bells in her heart. Even if they could still reach a cooperation in the subsequent explanation, but...

Originally, she requested to terminate the cooperation immediately and find the next fighter who could break through the Howard Federation's defense line. Unfortunately, her boss ignored her so-called intuition, used the CIA's remote control of the Ling Organization, paid some favors, and sent her to Busan in the name of a mission without telling Vanessa.

It just so happened that Crimson Viper and she had some friendship in the past, and because of her familiarity with Lin Xi and Seth, she could get close to them, so it was natural for them to watch the game together.

"Why don't we talk first--" Vanessa was originally looking at the audience happily, and when she heard the Crimson Viper speak, she asked in a gentle tone:

"Why are you beating around the bush and asking me to come here?"

Her Chinese is becoming more and more fluent, and she can use idioms at will in her conversations. It can be said that she has worked hard on this.

【really】

Crimson Viper was not surprised. They were all veteran agents. No matter how rational the internal operations were, they could still find something wrong from the slightest clue. She calculated in her mind and said, "We—"

"Wait, the winner will be decided." Vanessa interrupted her and watched her lover take action without blinking.

As soon as the game officially started, Jamie White launched a series of fierce attacks, but Lin Xi stood still from beginning to end, defending perfectly. It looked like not even a speck of dust got on his clothes. The difference in strength was obvious to the naked eye.

Jamie White's round of rapid and fierce attack ended. She kept the ultimate move that she had prepared to finish the game and did not use it. While she was recovering her strength briefly and preparing to retreat, Lin Xi's aura went from weak to terrifying in just a moment. The next second, her straight punch was already in her face. She poured the energy she had saved into her arms and crossed them in front of her.

“Bang! Bang!”

"winner--"

Vanessa looked at Jamie White, who rolled over and fell unconscious on the ground, and tilted her head and said, "Go on."

"The higher-ups want to hire Lin Xi to deal with the Howard Combine." Crimson Viper said briefly and to the point. What happened in the United States recently was well-known in the spy industry, so there was no need to elaborate.

"Just that?" Vanessa asked, and then said: "Don't expect me to stand opposite him." She stood up, looked down at the woman next to her, and left without saying anything else.

Hey.

Crimson Viper sighed silently. She didn't get any advantage but got herself into trouble. She turned on the communicator beside her ear and waited for more than ten seconds before the call was connected. She simply said, "I won't get involved in Lin Xi's affairs."

[What? Listen to what you are saying?] The man on the other side still sounded a little sleepy, [Listen, if you are...]

She hung up the call directly and stood up, "Good night, Boss."

Her daughter is the most important to her and she cannot leave her daughter alone. She will not participate in any action that is too risky. Just like after lurking in Shadow Luo, she did not follow the command and stay close to Vega, but instead came to the biological weapons department that is least welcomed by fighters and became a double agent.

To put it bluntly, safety is the most important thing.

"Too weak, too weak."

When Lin Xi returned to the lounge, she was still sighing in her heart. Normally, Jamie White should not be so weak as to become the weakest contestant, but the plot was changed too much. She should have had more than half a year to develop, but she was forced to participate in a competition with an intensity equivalent to Street Fighter IV, and suddenly became the weakest of this session.

As the plot progresses at a high speed, I'm afraid she will be unable to keep up with the intensity and eventually become a passerby character.

In the competition just now, almost no one cheered for her, let alone was optimistic about her. She was obviously a beautiful girl with a perfect figure and looks. It can only be said that fighting does not believe in beauty.

As the third group to finish the battle, Lin Xi continued to watch everyone's performance in the preliminary round in the lounge. After more than 40 minutes of fierce fighting, Ken finally defeated Baroque with a pore burst version of the Rising Dragon Split and became one of the winners of the first day.

Long fought with Dhalsim for a long time and won without using his air holes. It can be seen that the two have a good relationship. Moreover, the yoga master has no desire to win. He was almost always trying to help his opponent resolve the troubles of murderous fluctuations on the spiritual level... How to put it, it's more like a treatment than a fighting match.

However, Dhalsim's real purpose in participating in the competition is not to win.

This is a high monk who has reached a certain level of spiritual attainment and does not have too many worldly desires. Oh, of course, he still has to marry a wife and have children, and having sex with a woman does not violate the teachings of Hinduism.

Please note that Dhalsim is not a Buddhist monk, but a Hindu monk. They are the same profession in different sects. The two sects have been integrated with each other to a certain extent, so it is normal for them to be blurred sometimes.

Rose, the Italian woman who met for the first time, defeated Weiss, Han Zhuli defeated Bison cleanly, and Zangief and Kusanagi Shibafu were testing each other but no one was decided. Both of them looked powerful and the stalemate might last for a while.

Lin Xi was lying in the lounge watching the game until after one o'clock in the afternoon. When Lin Yu, who had been to the hospital for treatment, came back, Zangief and Kusanagi Shibafu finally decided the winner, and the game ended with old man Kusanagi admitting defeat.

After watching the first day of competition, he could basically make a judgment:

Half of the people who come here don’t come for victory or the championship. No, if you think about it carefully, I’m afraid that more than half of the people don’t come here for the purpose of winning.

Mai Zhuo, Weiss, Lin Yu, and Jamie White are just there to make supporting roles. Dhalsim is here to resolve the fighters' inner desire to fight. Bison, Baroque, and Han Zhuli are here to represent Ying Luo and act as touchstones. Kusanagi Shibafu is even more indifferent and surrenders on the spot after a stalemate. Rose's target is also Vega who has faked his death and disappeared.

Seriously speaking, even Yuan participated in the competition just to settle accounts with Rugal.

"Damn it, in the end, the people who came here seriously for the championship are actually a minority?"

Lin Xi burst into swearing just by thinking about it.

Fortunately, Long's growth rate is quite gratifying. In the timeline of Street Fighter II, he has actually touched the edge of controlling the wave of murderous intent. With the blessing of the air hole, he should not be underestimated.

Ken's performance was a little disappointing. Although he was more talented, he seemed to be going further and further down the path of juggling. Facing Baroque, he used a lot of secret techniques with strange effects, dragging the battle for almost an hour before ending it with his more familiar special move, Rising Dragon Split. It looked gorgeous, but his actual combat level...

To be frank, even if Lin Xi used all his strength, the juggler boy could only withstand thirty moves at most.

Han Zhuli is quite interesting, you can pay more attention to her.

The energy that erupted with the help of the Feng Shui engine made even Lin Xi look sideways. It was completely multiplied several times, and the lethality of the energy was even stronger. He was definitely a master who had a chance to score a point against Ken.

Of course, it is still a little bit inferior to the real BOSS-level characters.

Lin Xi stayed at the arena to analyze everyone's fighting performance for a while, and took Lin Yu, Mai Zhuo, and Weiss back to the hotel. Yuan disappeared after the fight, and no one knew what the old man was busy with recently.

How should I put it? It's a bit subtle that I don't want to play this kind of game that is boring at first glance.

His fighter instincts made him feel some negative emotions, but luckily not much, and he wasn't trying to win. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take down the title of Street Fighter more easily?
Putting aside other things, if you travel back in time to become a Street Fighter and don’t act like a Street Fighter, you would not be living up to your identity as a time traveler.

With this in mind, Lin Xi went back to the hotel with peace of mind and began to review the games in his mind for every threatening contestant, while simulating the games that might take place when the two sides fought.

"I want to take back the championship I missed a few years ago with my own hands!"

As he thought about it, he became more motivated.
-
the next day.

【Lin Yu VS Yuan】

[Lin Xi VS Dhalsim]

After the draw, Lin Xi was placed into the four initial groups for the competition, and he came to the competition venue full of enthusiasm.

The skinny Hindu monk opposite was already standing in the middle of the field. After both sides were in position, he put his hands together, bowed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin has amazing spiritual cultivation."

In the advanced practice of yoga, in order to ensure the body's free expansion and contraction, almost all fat was eliminated, and many muscles were deliberately trained so as not to affect yoga. With a height of 1.76 meters, Dhalsim weighed just over 90 kilograms. He had some muscles but not much, and with his dark skin...

The entire image of the starving people at the bottom of India.

"You're welcome, Master." Lin Xi also nodded slightly in response. The monk in front of him was really something. When facing each other, even the electric current that could specially attack mental power could make him inexplicably feel the pressure on the mental level.

He is a similar type of player to Vega, whose spirit is restrained by his body and he is unable to exert his stronger strength.

However, Dhalsim's case is a bit more extreme. For the sake of yoga, his body has become like this, so it's a bit difficult for him to exert stronger power.

"go!"

After the referee gave the order, Lin Xi stretched out one hand, signaling the other party to attack first.

"Then I won't be polite." Dhalsim said impolitely, but he was quite polite as he reminded himself of the attack time: "Be careful, Mr. Lin."

"Swoosh~" His arm suddenly stretched out and slapped over from seven or eight meters away.

"Boom!"

Lin Xi raised his arms and took a hard bite, not even using up much of his breath. He carefully felt the vibrations coming from his skin and flesh, and made an accurate judgment:

Better than Jamie White, but limited.

Dhalsim quickly retracted his palm, then stretched out his limbs and attacked again. When it still had no effect, he dodged and rushed forward to try to attack in close combat.

"boom!"

The next second, he flew out, but his arm was stretched very long, his palm pinched Lin Xi's wrist, and his body was strangely sucked back.
