Therefore, this chicken-and-egg problem directly severed the bond between Chizuru and Li Wei.
On her side, although there is a restriction that she cannot lose her virginity, this does not hinder the Platonic spiritual relationship between her and Li Wei. Moreover, if Li Wei can really end the thousand-year-old feud with Orochi before the millennium, then she will be free, and her Platonic spiritual love can directly take a step further. Without having to care about the family's reputation, she has a much greater advantage than Chizuru.
Kagura Maki felt a pang of guilt. She had come to help her sister gather intelligence, but she had impulsively jumped in.
Chapter 274. The Influence of the Competition
Kagura Manki left, but Li Wei was still somewhat dazed, because as she left, Kagura Manki said something: "Li Wei-kun, will you wait for me? I will wait for you."
Even the most clueless guy could understand this powerful straight ball. Li Wei could only sigh that Wan Gui was much "fierce" than Qian He, coming out with a powerful move right away. In fact, the two didn't even know each other well and were just going with their guts.
Li Wei knew very well that he wasn't a good person, and that Kagura Manki was playing with fire. Although he wasn't indiscriminate in his pursuit of women, he wasn't far behind either. When he encountered a woman he deemed worthy, he would take the initiative.
While many people have summarized routines for interacting with women, Li Wei discovered through practice that there are no fixed routines. Different women require different strategies, meaning he needs to have multiple thought processes and a fast thinking speed to avoid being flustered.
Li Wei knew how to deal with someone like Manki's personality; it was simple: just play with her, and feelings could be built up through everyday interactions. In contrast, Chizuru was the type who found it difficult to establish an initial intimate relationship.
Li Wei arrived in the courtyard and admired the Japanese-style "dry landscape garden." The Japanese are very good at making the most of limited space. Small spaces are not a problem for Japanese landscape professionals. They have their own way of doing things, whether it's large or small, and they are captivated by the scenery in every inch of land.
Small and exquisite, with a lingering charm, the neon-style dry landscape garden, originating from Chongguo and deeply influenced by ink painting and Zen culture, has forged its own unique path. Qiong came up behind Li Wei and said, "Good morning, young master."
Joan felt somewhat out of place in this new environment. Whether it was the French or the A-mei people, they were all used to freedom. The numerous rules and regulations here in Japan made her feel like a tiny insect caught in a spider's web, making her uncomfortable. Li Wei said, "Good morning, Joan."
Joan felt somewhat negligent, as the housekeeper had gotten up later than Li Wei, the "master." However, she was helpless about jet lag, since Japan and the country were on the other side of the world, and if the time difference wasn't adjusted, it would be very troublesome to move around here.
"Young master, should I wake Yuri up?" Joan asked.
Li Wei said, "There's no need. She's just arrived in Japan. You and she should rest well for the next couple of days. I'll be staying with the Kagura family for the next few days, accepting challenges from local fighters, and also sending out a special invitation." That special invitation was for the Kusanagi family. Every special invitation Li Wei sends is for fighters with sufficient strength. As for the standard, Li Wei directly uses Terry as a reference.
Anyone whose strength reaches 0.7 of Terry's can be considered a master. Those whose strength surpasses Terry's are top masters of the younger generation and strong figures of the older generation.
While it might be unfair to use Terry as a benchmark for strength, it's a fairly appropriate standard. After all, Terry at his peak defeated Geese and Krauser, putting his brother Andy and teammate Joe far ahead of him. In fact, he could be said to have single-handedly carried the entire Fatal Fury team's strength system.
Furthermore, because he attended every King of Fighters tournament every year, Terry was affectionately called "Old Man" by players. When Levi played the platform ranked matches, he also liked to use Terry, because in '97, Terry's performance was considered a T1 level.
Levi had some prejudice against Andy, but not against Terry. Levi recognized Terry's strength and character, and believed that as a fighter and as a man, he was far superior to his brother Andy.
After all, Terry, as one of the two wolves in "Fatal Fury," has a rather legendary background. It's just that in the current timeline, because of Levi's arrival, Terry lost the starting point of his legend. The current Terry is unable to defeat Geese the Puppet, so naturally he cannot achieve his "legendary accomplishments." However, with his abilities, he will shine with his own light sooner or later.
In Li Wei's opinion, the "Protagonist Team" created by Kyo Kusanagi has a very arrogant name, but Kyo Kusanagi does have the right to be arrogant. The three members of the Protagonist Team are significantly stronger than the fighters of other teams.
Goro Daimon is an Olympic judo champion, and he didn't even show his full strength at the Olympics.
Another member, Benimaru Nikaido, inherited the ability to control lightning from his family. He has maintained an undefeated record in the World Mixed Martial Arts Tournament, losing only once to Kyo Kusanagi. He then teamed up with Kyo Kusanagi to participate in various fighting competitions, making him a highly experienced and powerful fighter.
That is why Kyo Kusanagi received a special invitation letter.
News takes time to spread, so Li Wei doesn't plan to wander around these next few days and will stay within the Tokyo area. Although the Geese Puppetry has broadcast Li Wei's location to all fighters worldwide, travel also takes time. Li Wei will probably have to wait two or three days before the peak season for fighter challenges arrives.
Meanwhile, the film crew dispatched by the Geese puppets will arrive in Tokyo in the next couple of days to record various behind-the-scenes moments of the tournament, such as the fighters challenging Li Wei to obtain (Li Hao's) invitation letter, which is something worth mentioning.
The King of Fighters tournament has very high economic value, which is multifaceted, including the brand value of the tournament itself and the personal brand value of each fighter.
Starting with this King of Fighters tournament, all participants must sign a two-year personal image rights contract with the tournament committee, allowing the committee to open up the economic value of each participant. In return, each participant will be entitled to a 20% share of the total revenue.
In other words, the better a fighter's merchandise sells, the greater the financial reward for that fighter. This is a profitable situation for both the tournament and the participating fighters, which is why fighters from all over the world are eager to achieve good results and become famous overnight in this tournament.
Chapter 275. Training Methods and Fighting Techniques
Li Wei said, "Qiong, you rest here. I'm going out for a walk. I'm worried that Yuri will be scared when she wakes up and finds that none of us are here. You stay here with her."
Joan nodded. She also adored her lively little sister, Yuri Sakazaki, and naturally, she instinctively took good care of her, just like she had a younger sister of her own.
Li Wei plans to take a stroll around Tokyo in this world and see its scenery. After all, Tokyo in the 90s has an indescribable retro feel to him, who comes from the future, like vaporwave music, with a dreamlike filter.
"I understand, young master. You must be careful while you're out and about, after all, this isn't our home turf," Joan said.
Although South Town is dangerous, Joan is very familiar with its situation. Therefore, she can discern the truth from falsehood in places that appear dangerous to outsiders and knows where the real danger lies. Moreover, given Li Wei's extraordinary status in South Town, no one would dare to disrespect him. However, this is, after all, Japan, a completely unknown foreign land to her, so it's better to be cautious.
“Of course I know about this, after all, I’m not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble,” Li Wei said with a smile.
Li Wei considers himself the type who won't bother others unless they bother him. He simply doesn't bother with people who are unrelated to him. As long as they don't provoke him, he's happy to be a bystander and a spectator.
The reason he killed those black people was because they had foul mouths. Moreover, most of the black people at the bottom of society are robbers, drug dealers, or pimps. It is very difficult to find a good person among them. Therefore, Li Wei felt that he was ridding the people of a scourge.
Upon arriving at the front courtyard, Li Wei encountered Kagura Chizuru, who was doing her morning exercises. He stopped and watched Kagura Chizuru's "dance" in the front courtyard.
If someone is a complete novice who knows nothing about fighting, they will only think that Chizuru Kagura's dance is beautiful. But if you ask them to explain in detail, most people would not be able to.
However, Li Wei, being an extraordinary being, sensed the peculiarity of this "dance." It was a "practice method" of some kind of martial art, much like the practice of Tai Chi. It appeared soft and yielding, lacking any offensive capabilities; it was merely aesthetically pleasing. However, a complete (CGCI) martial art often presents a stark contrast between its practice and combat methods.
In the game, Chizuru Kagura's attack style is very unique. It is based on speed and impact, using the kinetic energy brought by instantaneous bursts of acceleration to suppress the opponent with continuous attacks.
The way she practices her martial arts looks like a ritual dance, but if you look closely at her steps and the way her arms and wrists move, you can see that she is very good at "whipping" attacks, which matches her abilities in the game.
The way Tai Chi is practiced is also soft and gentle. The Tai Chi and Tai Chi sword practiced by the elderly in the park creates a false impression for laymen who do not understand it, that Tai Chi has no killing power at all.
In fact, Tai Chi Chuan, like the martial arts practiced by the Kagura family, is a very violent style of martial arts. The so-called "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds" is essentially about using the opponent's force against them, but it also requires considerable strength to accomplish such a feat.
Lei Fang in DOA demonstrated some of the techniques of Tai Chi, but due to her lack of strength, she added soft palm and leg techniques to her fighting system to make up for her weakness.
In reality, true Tai Chi practitioners are mostly strong men with a strength advantage. The most basic fighting method is to neutralize the opponent's initial attack, then immediately entangle them and strike their chin or neck directly with a fist or the heel of the palm. Basically, if they find an opening, they can end the fight within five seconds, and if they don't hold back, it's easy to kill someone.
The "neutralizing" and "listening to the opponent's energy" techniques in Tai Chi are actually similar to wrestling, jujitsu, and Aikido. They all involve "grabbing" and "locking" to prevent the opponent from escaping. Without a strength advantage, who would dare to use this fighting style? Yang Luchan was as strong as an ox back then, making it hard to imagine that he was a person from that turbulent era.
Kagura Chizuru's slender and tall figure contains immense power, allowing her to unleash a whip strike with destructive force capable of piercing granite. Ultimately, combat is a contest of speed and strength. When speed and strength reach a certain level, they can even offset the disadvantages of technique. While Kagura Chizuru may appear to be a skill-based fighter, her actual fighting style is quite reckless.
Li Wei stood not far away, clapping softly with a smile on his face.
Seeing Li Wei watching from the side, Kagura Chizuru stopped somewhat embarrassed. In the past, she didn't feel anything when her subordinates were watching her, but when Li Wei was watching her, she felt a sense of shyness, which made her stop her morning exercise.
"Good morning, Li Weijun." Kagura Chizuru gently smoothed her slightly messy long hair. When she didn't need to fight, she would tie her long hair up, but the intensity of her morning exercise would make her tied-up hair come loose.
"Good morning, Chizuru. That set of techniques you just used must be the Kagura family's traditional martial arts method. It was full of the beauty of power and speed," Li Wei said with a smile.
"I'm sorry for showing off; these are just some crude techniques," Kagura Chizuru said somewhat embarrassedly.
Kagura Chizuru looked at Li Wei, who had changed his clothes, and asked, "Li Wei-kun, aren't you going to have breakfast? Why are you leaving at this hour?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "Let's go out for a stroll and experience the charm of Tokyo."
Li Wei also owns property in Tokyo in the real world, making him a true winner in life. He is very familiar with Tokyo 30 years in the future, but he is very curious about Tokyo in the early 90s.
After all, this was the last glorious moment of Japan's "economic miracle." After this point in time, it would be difficult to see such a vibrant Tokyo again.
Chizuru Kagura said, "Do you need me to go sightseeing with you? Li Weijun, you're not very familiar with Tokyo, and I'm afraid you'll get lost if you go alone."
Li Wei said, "Won't this cause you trouble? After all, you are the head of the Kagura family, and you must have many things to deal with every day."
Chizuru Kagura's hands, hidden beneath the wide sleeves of her robe, were clasped together, her fingers twisted in a gesture to suppress her nervousness.
"Actually, there's not that much to do. We still have time to go out for a walk," Kagura Chizuru said softly.
The Kagura family itself doesn't have many businesses. After all, the three sacred treasure families are easily targeted by the Orochi clan, so it's impossible for them to develop their economy in peace. Therefore, the economic conditions of the three sacred treasure families are neither rich nor poor, and there is a very obvious gap compared with those noble families.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Then I'll have to ask Qianhe to be my tour guide."
Chapter 276. The Orochi Kinsei's Surprise Attack
Kagura Chizuru changed into casual clothes and accompanied Li Wei away from the mansion. The Kagura family mansion is located in the core area of Chiyoda Ward, which is within the second ring road of Tokyo. Such core areas are where various traditional nobles reside, while newly emerging nobles mostly choose to settle in Minato Ward and Setagaya Ward.
Chiyoda, as the most central area of Tokyo, has many places worth visiting. Following Chizuru Kagura, Li Wei arrived at the CBD business district in Marunouchi.
Li Wei had been to Marunouchi in the real world. Because this world is in an earlier timeline, it doesn't seem as prosperous as it is later. For Li Wei, who came from the future, the street scenes on the roadside are more interesting.
The two did not linger there and took the train to Shinjuku. There are quite a few shrines in Tokyo, but the Kagura family has its own shrine, and Li Wei had said that there was no need to visit any shrines, so Kagura Chizuru took Li Wei directly to the bustling commercial district.
The two got off the train at Shinjuku Station and walked for a short while before arriving at the heart of the bustling area. Li Wei's clothing and style were at least decades ahead of their time, and coupled with his own charm, he frequently attracted the attention of women on the street.
Chizuru Kagura, dressed casually, was equally eye-catching. The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, looked exceptionally well-matched walking together. Some women had originally intended to approach Li Wei, but Chizuru's presence made them feel inferior, forcing them to keep a certain distance from the two. However, the expressions on their faces clearly revealed their resentful feelings.
The economic crisis has only just begun, and most young people in this era have not yet been severely impacted, so they still have a considerable pursuit of love.
After the turn of the millennium, young people simply lay down. Even a handsome and masculine guy like Li Wei might get a lot of attention on the street, but there wouldn't be as many women willing to approach him as there are now.
If it weren't for Chizuru Kagura, Li Wei would probably have had to turn down many women's invitations by now. The main problem is that Li Wei's standards have become too high, and ordinary girls are no longer pleasing to his eye.
The King of Fighters world is relatively more "realistic". Although the average person's appearance is better than in the real world, it is not a big advantage. So, the so-called "beauties" who are purely made up of makeup are nowhere to be seen in Li Wei's eyes.
The two sat down on a bench in the pedestrian street, each holding an ice cream.
"Peaceful days are truly wonderful. Days without the giant serpent are the best days for humanity," Li Wei remarked, looking at the bustling pedestrian street teeming with people.
Kagura Chizuru said, "This is the long-cherished wish of the Kagura family successors, but Orochi is an immortal and indestructible true god. Our ancestors were lucky enough to seal Orochi, which was already an incredible feat. With the current strength of mankind, the possibility of completely destroying Orochi is too low."
Li Wei savored the pure ice cream and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. I said I could decide the outcome before the millennium, and I will definitely do it. I'm always a man of my word, and I wouldn't joke about something this important." Kagura Chizuru said, "Sister, you have great faith in your plan, Li Wei-kun. Could you tell me a little about it? What are the chances of this plan succeeding?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "At least 70%, and that's the most conservative estimate. Optimistically, as long as we act at the right time, it should only take less than an hour to eliminate the giant serpent. However, I need the giant serpent to descend in an incomplete form, and use that as a breakthrough to completely destroy the serpent's true form, which is the so-called planetary will."
Kagura Chizuru exclaimed in surprise, "So, we're going to have to cooperate with the Orochi Kinkaku in this charade?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "Because the Orochi clan has accumulated considerable power, it is too difficult for the Three Sacred Treasures families to confront them head-on. So, let's just use a counter-strategy." Kagura Chizuru said, "That's too dangerous. Even an incomplete Orochi is still beyond our ability to fight."
Li Wei said, "Don't worry about that. I have a way to kill the incomplete Orochi, and even if the Orochi descends in its complete form, my method is enough to contend with it. Besides, even if we don't do this, the Orochi clan has already prepared to revive the Orochi in the past few years. Whether we like it or not, we have to take the gamble." (Requesting flowers.)
Kagura Chizuru found it hard to accept this reality. After all, although the previous generations of guardian priestesses had occasional friction with the Orochi Familia, the two sides had generally maintained a relative peace. She did not expect that such peace was just an illusion, and that the Orochi Familia must have started preparing to revive Orochi a long time ago.
No wonder the periods during which the guardian priestesses have served have generally been peaceful. She originally thought that the Orochi clan's power had shrunk over the years, but she didn't expect that the Orochi clan was actually preparing a big move.
If things are as Li Wei said, then whether she likes it or not, the Kagura family will inevitably be at the table in this high-stakes gamble, because as the head of the Three Sacred Treasures families, the Kagura family simply cannot avoid this kind of thing.
