I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

In other words, Mai Shiranui actually knew Chizuru Kagura; it makes no sense that the two met in King of Fighters '96.

"Wait a minute, let me make a call and ask."

After saying that, Bai Ye dialed Mai Shiranui's number directly.

"Xiao Wu, do you know Kagura Chizuru?"

Mai Shiranui was initially very happy to receive Bai Ye's call.

After all, the two had just finished their long phone call, and Bai Ye couldn't wait to call her again. She naturally assumed that Bai Ye couldn't bear to part with her, which made Shiranui Mai start to enjoy herself.

But the next second, after hearing Bai Ye ask another woman, her mood instantly soured.

Although I know that Bai Ye probably wants to find a teammate to team up with.

But shouldn't you have asked yourself first before you opened your mouth?

Putting aside her temper, Mai Shiranui replied, "Yes, I know Chizuru. Do you want to team up with Chizuru?"

Previously, she wanted to introduce Kagura Chizuru as a teammate to Bai Ye, but Bai Ye refused very decisively, saying that he would definitely not be unable to find a teammate. However, she did not expect the reversal to come so quickly.

"Could you introduce me to your teammates? I'm just one person short."

Bai Ye was too embarrassed to speak just now because he was alone, so of course he was embarrassed.

Now that he has a teammate, it's a two-man team, which changes the situation, so he's more comfortable asking for the job.

"Okay, I'll talk to Chizuru right away and ask her first!"

When Baiye was still missing a teammate, Mai Shiranui naturally felt obligated to take the responsibility, because in her opinion, this position originally belonged to her, but her departure caused Baiye to be one person short.

Then of course she would fill in the gap for Bai Ye.

"Chizuru, are you participating in this KOF tournament?"

Mai Shiranui was unaware that the organizer was Chizuru Kagura, and Chizuru was also somewhat surprised to receive Mai Shiranui's call, as she was invited to participate in the competition.

"Sorry, Xiao Wu, I probably won't participate."

"All right?!"

After being rejected, a hint of disappointment flashed across Mai Shiranui's face.

If Chizuru Kagura doesn't participate, who should I contact?

How about Qiong?

Mai Shiranui's gaze fell on Qiong, and just as she was about to ask Qiong, Chizuru Kagura hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone before asking, "Mai, is your team missing one more person?"

If I were to participate, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Actually, she was also a little reluctant to refuse Mai Shiranui.

"It's not me, it's Bai Ye. He's short one teammate. If possible, Chizuru, could you do me a favor? I was originally going to team up with Bai Ye."

Next, Mai Shiranui relayed this series of events to Chizuru Kagura.

After she finished speaking, Chizuru Kagura fell silent.

If she had just said she didn't know, that would have been fine, but Mai Shiranui told her everything all at once, so how could she pretend not to know?

"I understand. Tell Bai Ye that I agreed. Give him my contact information, and then we can talk."

Chizuru Kagura finally agreed, which made Mai Shiranui overjoyed. After sharing the good news with Byakuya, the huge weight in Mai Shiranui's heart finally lifted.

What she feared most before was that Bai Ye wouldn't be able to find teammates.

"Oh, look how happy you are."

Qiong muttered to herself, "What a husband-lover! They're not even married yet. I can't even imagine what Mai Shiranui will be like after they get married."

However, her personality does seem to reflect this, making her the perfect girl for marriage. If I were a man, I might also fall for her.

"I stood Bai Ye up, and this time I'm going to defeat Bai Ye and let him know that fighting has no outcome. If I defeat him, he might go back and marry me and retire from the fighting world, staying at the Shiranui Dojo from now on!"

Mai Shiranui not only needs to help Byakuya find teammates to fill the void left by her departure, but also needs to help Byakuya find teammates.

Another hope is that Bai Ye will be deeply affected by this and never let things fester, and will then live a good life on her own.

Mai Shiranui has already decided that having three children with Byakuya would be enough, preferably both a boy and a girl, so that they would have both a son and a daughter.

"But have you ever thought about what if Bai Ye defeats you?"

Is Mai Shiranui being a little too confident?

Qiong felt that Mai Shiranui wasn't guaranteed to win, but had she considered the consequences if she did win?

"If he wins, he'll still have to marry me!"

Mai Shiranui didn't care at all; whether she lost or won, Byakuya would still marry her.

However, if Bai Ye loses to her, she will be able to take the initiative and force Bai Ye to marry her instead of delaying it indefinitely.

"Marriage Maniac"

Kasumi Todo labeled Mai Shiranui as a marriage fanatic in her mind.

How much does she want to get married?

Even though she wasn't much older than him, Kasumi Todo was also very curious about Mai Shiranui, her marriage prospect.

What is it about the other person that makes Mai Shiranui so obsessed with getting married?

Could it be that?

Thinking about what Mai Shiranui had just said, and considering Mai Shiranui's exaggerated figure, she suddenly felt that the two of them were actually quite a good match.

At the same time, she lowered her head, and she could see the ground when she lowered her head. This made Toudou Kasumi feel a little frustrated. Why is it that God treats Mai Shiranui so well when they are both human?

Although I wasn't completely without anything, compared to Mai Shiranui, I felt as weak as a baby.

This will affect the fighting!!

Kasumi Todo silently comforted herself, telling herself that she was a fighter and didn't need these things at all. At the same time, she felt that she was still a high school student and had great potential for improvement.

"It's all sorted out, and the other teammate is sorted out too. But speaking of which, this isn't really your personality, is it?"

After Bai Ye finished dealing with his last teammate, he was in a good mood. His teammates were Jotaro Kujo and Chizuru Kagura, who he felt were probably among the strongest in KOF '96.

But there was one thing he didn't understand: Jotaro Kujo's personality meant he wouldn't simply believe what he said.

He just had a brain fart and didn't think of it. Perhaps he's trained too much in combat and rarely uses his brain. Compared to Bai Ye from other worlds, his mind might be simpler and he might be more oblivious, but he's not completely without intelligence.

From the very beginning, he seemed to sense that Jotaro Kujo was suppressing himself.

"Because I originally wanted to test your strength during the subsequent training!"

Seeing that Byakuya had already seen through his thoughts, Jotaro Kujo simply stopped hiding them.

He never fully trusted Bai Ye, but Bai Ye had previously said that he would train in martial arts with him.

He had heard of the Shiranui Dojo, which was a very famous dojo here. In addition, the KOF fighting tournament was not without reason, so he was naturally willing to participate. However, he wanted to test Bai Ye's strength before participating.

If Bai Ye is a liar, then he won't let Bai Ye off so easily!

Listening to Jotaro Kujo's words, Byakuya felt normal again. He had felt that Jotaro was not quite normal before, but it turned out that he was not the kind of person who would listen to orders. Jotaro Kujo was a person with his own opinions.

The fact that he hadn't contradicted him from the very beginning made Bai Ye realize that he might have his own ideas.

This explains why he seems to be planning to beat himself up if he finds himself no match when he fights him later.

"So let me see your strength before you start training!"

Since we're going to participate in KOF, the captain's strength can't be weaker than mine!

Having just accepted the Stand concept, Jotaro Kujo decides to try it out on Byakuya.

The appearance of Star Platinum behind him surprised Bai Ye. He was not a Stand user, yet he could see Star Platinum. Was it because after the world merged, he, as a fighter, generated his own ki, which allowed him to see these things?

The two found a secluded spot. Instead of immediately attacking Jotaro, Byakuya prepared to test his skills against Star Platinum first.

In their rage-fueled state, White Night and Platinum Star clashed fists.

The feedback from that powerful force made Bai Ye realize that this was indeed a 5A-level Stand.

"it hurts!"

Jotaro frowned; the force reflected from Star Platinum made him feel as if his fist bones were about to shatter.

“Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!!”

Star Platinum's fists swung faster and faster, and Byakuya's fists followed suit. Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu couldn't keep up with Star Platinum in close combat, but Byakuya's passive Eight Gates technique had reached the seventh level.

All of Bai Ye was just one step away from reaching the eighth level. The powerful physical abilities provided by the seventh level also meant that Bai Ye wasn't too worried about facing the Platinum Star, whose time hadn't stopped yet.

"Jotaro, you're really suited for fighting!"

It's clear that Jotaro's fighting talent is truly terrifying. Just a moment ago he was an ordinary high school student, but in his battles with himself, he is constantly learning.

Are all fighters like you?

Jotaro remained calm, but deep down he no longer dared to underestimate fighters. He used to think that fighting tournaments were just ordinary fighters fighting on stage, and that the only thing that made fighters better than him was their skills.

But after fighting Byakuya, Jotaro realized why the KOF tournament was called the global elite fighting tournament.

If every fighter were at Bai Ye's level, or even stronger than him, they would definitely need to train hard before going to KOF.

"No, I should be considered quite capable."

Bai Ye didn't claim to be invincible, but he was definitely quite strong.

"I see."

That's good. If Bai Ye is considered an ordinary fighter, that wouldn't be good news.

However, this also disappointed Jotaro somewhat, as he was not afraid of fighting, nor was he afraid of powerful enemies.

After the fighting ended, Jotaro left his contact information and then prepared to go home to tell his mother, Hori Kujo, about what had happened.

Meanwhile, Byakuya sought out Kagura Chizuru.

Afterwards, as teammates, Bai Ye still needed to talk to her. The two arranged to meet at a coffee shop. Bai Ye arrived first, and Kagura Chizuru arrived at the coffee shop shortly afterward.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard about your situation from Xiao Wu. Shall we begin our cultivation together?"

Although KOF matches are all team-based individual competitions, they still require teamwork and an understanding of the opponent's abilities.

Kagura Chizuru also wanted to get to know Byakuya better before this meeting.
