I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 256: Heading to Nanzhen!
"Senior! We meet again!"

Dong Zhang showed an exaggerated cartoon version of a smile, his upper and lower lips were almost parallel, and his two rows of white teeth sparkled in the sun. Wearing only big shorts, he stood on the wall and rushed over with an extremely touching tone.

"Stop."

Lin Xi stretched out a finger and used magnetism to freeze the half-naked man who pounced on him in the air from a distance. He didn't want to hug closely with a man who was covered in sweat and looked shiny.

"Huh, huh, huh?" Dong Zhang's hands and feet moved back and forth in the air like paddling in the water. His expression gradually changed from surprise to interest, and he controlled his body in the air to spin and play with it with great interest.

"Stop it." Lin Xi released the magnetic force, "Why do you have time to come and play with me?"

“Hey, hey!” Dong Zhang did a handsome somersault and landed on the ground. He put one hand on the ground and raised his other arm high up. He shouted like a Kamen Rider: “Of course it’s for the invitation to the King of Fighters Tournament!”

"For the sake of my best friend, I decided to challenge you, Senior, get the invitation letter, and fight alongside him!"

These words made my blood boil.

“Bang!” A head that he hadn’t seen clearly exploded, and his body flew backwards seven or eight meters, sticking to the wall with a slap. After struggling to get himself down, he said with a silly smile: “Oh my, I lost to you again, senior. You are worthy of being the legendary big devil!”

Ever since the video of the Street Fighter tournament went viral, this nickname has been directly associated with Lin Xi. Whenever people mention the big devil in the fighting world, they are basically referring to him.

However, the Great Demon King himself was completely indifferent to the nickname. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Are you just here to show off?"

In fact, ever since the news of the King of Fighters invitation letter spread, people have been challenging him one after another, but they are either big noobs who can knock down with one punch, or small noobs who can overwhelm others with their momentum without even having to fight.

It was almost as he expected. No one who had the ability to challenge him would come just for the invitation to the King of Fighters.

Even Omega Rugal was defeated by him, and it is hard to think of anyone who could challenge him at this time except the Eight Heroes, the Three Sacred Treasures, the master of the Extreme Style, Ryo Sakazaki, and some old guys.

By the way, it is not shameful to be killed instantly by him. After his strength reaches a certain standard, he has even opened up a huge gap with ordinary fighters.

What's more, the current King of Fighters competition is not that valuable at all. In the future, we will need to form teams to participate, travel around the world to compete, and have each country hold a home court in an international fighting competition with high value.

The only three key points that will be inherited by future King of Fighters tournaments are the name, the competition for invitations and the conspiracy.

The competition system is very simple. There are eight invitation letters. Whoever grabs one can participate. They are divided into groups of two. The winners advance to the semi-finals. Then they are divided into groups of two again. The winners advance to the finals. The champion will be awarded the title of KOF [King of Fighting].

The slight change in the venue of this King of Fighters tournament compared to previous ones is that the competition used to be fought to the death in Gista, and the winner would go up to see Gista and either accept the recruitment or try extreme falling sports.

Don't think this is a joke. Before, Gis was a typical gang leader. How could he be a humble gentleman? Shameless hooligan was his style.

This year's competition venue was changed to the Gis——

Just like the name of Gista, it is an aerial nuclear-powered spacecraft. According to the details disclosed on the official website, the spacecraft has four floors. The bottom floor is the power cabin. The third floor from the top is the venue for the quarterfinals. The winner can move up to the second floor for the semi-finals. The top floor is the final venue. During the game, the game situation will be broadcast live to the outside world in real time through a projection device.

There is a lounge and sufficient supplies on each floor. After boarding the ship, you will have to complete the race with the spacecraft before it lands.

The quarterfinals will stop over Southtown, the semifinals over New York, and the final over Washington.

The winner will be awarded by the current president and Keith Howard himself, which has a strong political connotation.

It's also a very Gis-style event arrangement, but I don't know if Gis will jump off after being beaten up on the spaceship...

“Well~” Dong Zhang scratched the back of his head with a cheerful smile on his face, “Terry went to America alone, and I have been staying on the front line in Southeast Asia because of the war. We agreed to meet in Nanzhen, and I thought that you would also go to Nanzhen, so…”

“…You also came down from the battlefield?” Lin Xi was really a little surprised.

Dong Zhang was speechless for a moment. He had clearly done a good deed, so why was the senior so familiar with him so surprised?

But...it's understandable.

Lin Xi recalled that this guy once practiced Muay Thai to perfection in the countryside of Thailand and became famous in the village before heading to the city to make a living. Even the final ending in the game was that he returned to Thailand to teach Muay Thai. It might be a little strange for a Japanese to regard Thailand as his hometown, but it was very positive energy.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they did exchange letters on weekdays and there was no barrier between them when they chatted.

It’s funny that even Yuan has his own cell phone, so they don’t need to use the old-fashioned way of sending letters to keep in touch.

I just want to contact Dong Zhang and Terry, and letters are the only way.

The Muay Thai boy has no place to put things on his body. He usually wears only shorts and a cape. How come... there is a place to put things, but I don't know if he has He Huan's superb mahjong skills.

Terry's life is much simpler, he's poor.

Mingming is an excellent fighter. While wandering around the world, he has many opportunities to earn money, but he does not accept ill-gotten gains, returns good money, and donates the well-earned money to the South Town Orphanage... He wears a washed-out suit all day long and is a very old-fashioned knight-type fighter.

Back to the topic, after Dong Zhang's arrival, the empty martial arts hall added a bit of popularity and lively atmosphere.

He didn't know if he was born in the year of the dog, but he had a conflict with the big cat Ahua. Every day he could hear the cat meowing and shouting, running around and making a mess.

One day after dinner, when an unknown Muay Thai master was defeated in one move during a challenge, he saw Dong Zhang sitting happily watching nearby and suddenly became furious, shouting angrily: "Why can you be so close to such an executioner who has countless blood on his hands and personally provoked the war! Are you worthy of the country's cultivation?" After saying this, he glared at the two of them, as if to say, "Don't try to shut me up if you don't kill me."

Then he was knocked unconscious by Dong Zhang and thrown out by himself. No matter how tough he was, he was still a rookie.

Lin Xi also got a glimpse into the thoughts of many Thai fighters, or rather, the thoughts of Southeast Asian fighters.

After all, the final machines were inanimate objects that obeyed orders and were no different from weapons. Lugal died early, and Seth could not afford to offend thousands of final machines. Instead, Lin Xi, the most innocent of the few people who provoked the war, became the target of anger.

Good people deserve to be pointed at with guns. He has experienced this more than once. The Hong Kong bombing is not much different from the current war in Southeast Asia. He doesn't care about becoming the target of other people's anger, as long as those people don't jump out.

After lunch that day, he was curious about Dongzhang's mentality, so he asked directly.

"I'm sorry, seniors. Everyone has had a hard time in the past six months." Dong Zhang was like a person with ADHD. He rubbed his hands, snapped his fingers, and suddenly scratched his hair, touched his nose, and grabbed his butt. He spoke with embarrassment, and his apology was only for having taken the initiative to let go of the idiot who had spoken rudely just now.

"Senior, you are innocent too. If it were me, I wouldn't have any choice in the battle."

“It’s not that we haven’t thought about it, we just like to want others to do better.”

"I think if something I don't like, everyone should dislike it."

He spoke whatever came to his mind, and it seemed that he was not very good at talking and discussing.

The words are all mixed up, but the core meaning is "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

He is heartless enough, but also smart enough to understand others while not wanting to interfere with other people's thoughts and decisions. He has a good sense of propriety.

Lin Xi was not angry that Dong Zhang let the idiot go. He thought that the other person was an idiot, so he would definitely obey him. But Dong Zhang was willing to apologize, which made him feel a lot better.

The key is recognition. In that short period of time after his hands were stained with countless blood and the battle ended, he himself could not accept it, but Vanessa accepted everything about him without hesitation.

Lin Yu supported him unconditionally. Even Gang Quan expressed his understanding after thinking for a long time. Even Chun Li, who was full of justice, did not blame him too much.

He did not expect every friend and relative to stand behind him as clearly as Vanessa and Lin Yu did. It would be enough for them to think a little bit from his perspective.

It is really important that Dongzhang, as a relatively distant friend, supports him in this matter.

Lin Xi doesn't think that he is superior to other humans, and he doesn't want to become a non-human monster or a lunatic with a magnetic field.

He wants to be the king of fighting, not the king of monsters or the king of lunatics.

It's okay to play with jokes and act crazy occasionally on weekdays, there's really no need to completely indulge all of your desires. He doesn't want to go through any messy pain or make any progress in his own negative emotions.

No matter what, he wants to live as a human being, be happy, and pursue the things that humans should pursue [such as blowing up the earth].

In the question-and-answer period, the relationship between the two people has improved a lot. As the saying goes, communication is the bridge for friendship to progress. What is communication? Communication means to open a ditch to connect two waters. It generally refers to connecting two parties, and also refers to clearing each other's opinions...

For some reason, Lin Xi always felt that the definition of communication in the dictionary was a bit like "a ditch was opened" or something, which was too evil.

However, the progress of friendship is of course real. With similar values ​​and some common language, it is only a matter of time before you become good friends.

Anyway, the two of them communicated and the month passed in the blink of an eye. In the middle, Lin Xi even took a plane to Spain to see his women. Hey, guess what, that unknown organization actually had two more people!

Jamie White and Baroque, these two guys actually colluded with each other without knowing it, and joined a strange organization that has no name yet.

Their respective goals were very clear, especially the female agent, who called on Lin Yu to actively participate in the Southeast Asian negotiations with her as victims, cooperating with the British government behind her who shouted loudly to make the decision for them. It was almost written on their faces that "I will use you to gain more benefits in the negotiations."

Baroque came here just for Jamie. He has the vibe of a tsundere and overbearing CEO. He obviously liked Jamie during her clone period, but he bullied her in various ways and even scratched her face. He would pop up in the game from time to time to disgust girls. After being rescued once in reality, he stayed close to Jamie, as if he was saying with his words and actions, "Woman, you have my attention."

You are so greasy.

Lin Xi was looking at Baroque, who was always following Jamie, with a look on her face like an old man on the subway using his cell phone. This greasy boss didn't care at all and just did what he wanted. If he wasn't so handsome, he would have been sent to jail for sexual harassment.

Unlike in the game, in the game, Jamie has gone through many twists and turns. With the friendship and help of Chun-Li, GUIL and others, he did not become a professional agent who only cares about his own interests like Crimson Viper. He is more like Captain Britain.

In real life, Jamie White has no time to make friends with good fighters. He was brainwashed by Vega in Shadow Luo and by the government in the UK. Now he has become a pure political creature.

These two, one is a badass boss and the other is a brainwashed agent. The eldest one should not talk about the second one. There is an old saying that goes, a bitch and a dog will be together forever.

Lin Xi had no time to care about what this couple was doing. He didn't even want to care about his wife and her girlfriend getting involved in the Southeast Asian peace talks. He spent a few days with his girlfriend, and at Dong Zhang's urging, the two flew to the United States, Nanzhen.
-
United States, South Town, Top Floor of Gstaad.

"Peng!"

Billy Kane fell to his knees on the ground in embarrassment, holding his chest. The special steel rod broke into more than a dozen pieces. He looked at the cold figure opposite him with shock.

Ken Masters, the long-lost heir of the Masters family, stood opposite with an expressionless face, his body emitting a dark purple aura.

"Pa pa pa" Keith Howard clapped his hands and stood up from his chair. Two bodyguards took off their fur coats for show. (He also wore short-sleeved shirts when others wore them in the game, and Yamazaki Ryuji also liked to wear them. These two have serious aesthetic problems.)

He smiled unbridled, stepped forward to help Billy Kane up, and said kindly, "With this guy here, my plan will be foolproof. You just need to guard South Town for me."

In the past, they were just a gang, and fighters who could use sticks were considered good fighters. Now he was about to become president, and he had mastered the mental power device, so he had no shortage of first-class fighters. In his opinion, giving the fat piece of South Town to his most loyal subordinates was a reward and respect, but...

Billy Kane's breathing became heavier. He looked at his boss who was leaving. He felt that Ken who replaced him was extremely glaring. He was a fighter, not a pure gangster or gangster. It was enough for him to have enough money. Being left behind could only prove one thing -

"I'm too weak..."
