A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Meanwhile, the fire serpent puppet looked at its severed wrist, brought it to its mouth, and gently licked it.

On his wrist, a large number of granulation tissues coiled together, quickly forming the shape of a palm.

Holding Athena Asamiya in his arms, Li Wei said with a serious expression, "Who are you? Such regenerative abilities have surpassed the limits of humanity."

The fire serpent puppet wore a sinister smile and said, "That's the question I should be asking. Not only did you meddle and steal my prey, but you also cut off my hand. What I do with my regenerative abilities is none of your business." Li Wei said, "Friend, when you're out and about, it's best to watch your words to avoid making unnecessary enemies."

"Hahahaha!!! You think you're worthy of being my enemy? You've only severed one of my hands, do you think that's enough to defeat me?" The fire serpent puppet crossed its arms, its face filled with arrogance. Li Wei said, "How will you know if you don't try? Since cutting off your hand didn't work, how about cutting off your head and shattering your heart? Would that solve the problem?"

"Then try it and see if you can kill me." The fire serpent puppet spread its hands, a confident smile on its face. Its severed hand had already regenerated, and apart from the skin being slightly lighter in color than the rest of its body, there was no difference.

Li Wei held Athena Asamiya in a princess carry and said, "For me, I can cut off your head even without using my hands. Since you want me to try, then let's try."

Athena Asamiya stared at Li Wei's profile, somewhat mesmerized. In her most desperate moment, this handsome young man had descended from the sky to save her. If it weren't for this young man holding her, she might have already been kidnapped by that strange man and suffered all sorts of terrible things...

Athena Asamiya wrapped her arms around Levi's neck and pressed her face against his chest, where she felt an immense sense of security. The Fire Serpent Puppet said, "If you're going to fight, put that girl down first. I'm afraid our battle will affect her."

Li Wei sneered, "You think I'd believe your nonsense? You want to kidnap this girl, right? What if I let her go, and instead of fighting me, you just run away with her? In comparison, with me protecting her, your schemes won't succeed."

The fire serpent puppet's face turned extremely ugly. It said, "Hmph! You saw through me, so what? You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish! With your hands bound, you can't use that hand chop like before, right? In this state, what can you use to fight me?!"

Li Wei smiled confidently and said, "You don't need to worry about such things. Even if I gave you my two hands, so what? A petty person like you shouldn't be in the stinking ditch, but instead comes out to cause trouble. In that case, don't leave."

The two launched simultaneous attacks on each other. In an instant, lightning and flames collided, creating a scene of catastrophic destruction. The 2.8 battle destroyed everything around them. Chin Gentsai, barely managing to get up, dragged Chikensou away from the center of the battlefield. The fighting power of both sides had far surpassed that of ordinary people, and this was no longer a battle he could handle.

Meanwhile, Athena Asamiya, who was at the center of the battlefield, felt like she was on a roller coaster. The two sides were fighting at a fast pace, and the extreme acceleration made her feel carsick.

Although Li Wei was holding her with both hands, he still had the upper hand in the battle. His long legs kept kicking out, and each kick was accompanied by flashes of lightning, shattering the flames on the other side.

This battle, which transcended human limits, made Athena Asamiya realize that possessing superpowers was nothing extraordinary. There were many stronger beings in this world than she could have imagined; she was merely a frog in a well, trying to depict the world based on her imagination.

Chapter 313. Zhen Yuanzhai's Retirement

The two sides clashed at an extremely fast pace, and the outcome was decided in just a few seconds. After the two sides separated, a terrifying hole appeared in the chest of the Fire Serpent Puppet, and Athena Asamiya could even see the scenery behind it through the hole.

To her surprise, even with such an injury, the fire serpent puppet remained indifferent, without even shedding a drop of blood.

“With your unorthodox methods, can you even be considered human anymore?” Li Wei said with a serious expression.

"Heh heh, so what if you can live forever and not be human?" the fire serpent puppet sneered.

“There’s no point in trying to reason with a madman like you. Sooner or later you’ll become a monster that can’t control yourself,” Li Wei said.

The fire serpent puppet's body exploded, and numerous fragments transformed into insect-like objects that flew away in all directions.

"That girl will stay with you for now. I lost this round, but I'll be back. She's mine, and no one can take her away! Hehehehe! Hahahaha!" A wild laugh echoed from all directions. At this moment, Mai Shiranui and the others, who had been hiding in the shadows, emerged. Looking at the swarm of insects that had already flown far away, Qiong said, "What terrifying beings. Are they even human?"

Shiranui Mitsuki, standing nearby, said, "That guy just now was a bit like a legendary monster. In Japan, there are monsters that are actually humans. Once you abandon your basic human decency, becoming a monster isn't surprising." Joan said, "Humans are really terrifying. That monster had the ability to transform into a swarm of flying insects and escape. It's very difficult to completely kill such an existence." At this moment, Li Wei put down the somewhat dizzy Athena Asamiya.

Athena Asamiya was on the ground, but feeling insecure, she still clung tightly to Levi's clothes, refusing to let go.

“Little girl, you’re safe for now. There’s no need to be so nervous. With me here, that monster can’t do anything to you,” Li Wei said with a smile.

Athena Asamiya nodded, then reluctantly let go of Li Wei, whose clothes were already wrinkled from her grip.

Mai Shiranui and the others also came over at this time. The Fire Serpent Puppet released its killing intent without any restraint. Fighters are quite sensitive to killing intent, and they had already sensed the presence of the Fire Serpent Puppet from a distance. Li Wei told the group to follow behind and not to act rashly, while he went ahead alone.

Mai Shiranui and the other ninja girls were still a little worried, but seeing how calm and collected Qiong looked, they were relieved. After all, Qiong was Li Wei's butler and should know him quite well. Qiong's nonchalant attitude meant that Li Wei could handle the situation, so they didn't need to worry anymore.

The women, who arrived at the battlefield a little later than Li Wei, witnessed a high-level battle. The fire serpent puppets, who were frantically trading blows, and Li Wei, who could carry a person with ease, taught them a lesson.

Mai Shiranui also learned that Li Wei had given her a very lenient test, and that if Li Wei were to take it seriously, he could easily defeat her.

The group arrived at Athena Asamiya's side.

Li Wei looked at Chin Gentsai and Chikkensou, and said to Qiong, "You two keep an eye on this girl; she's still a bit scared." Qiong replied, "I'll do my best, but I don't know much about Japanese."

Qiong had spent some time in Chinatown in Nanzhen and had learned some Mandarin, but she spoke with a heavy coastal accent and had a limited vocabulary. Li Wei nodded, then approached Zhen Yuanzhai and said, "Senior Zhen Yuanzhai, are you alright?"

As Zhen Yuanzhai watched Li Wei effortlessly defeat the mysterious enemy, he sighed and said, "Talented people emerge in every generation, and new talents replace the old."

Although Chin Gentsai is unwilling to admit he's getting old, he has finally realized that his era is coming to an end. Although his strength is no less than it used to be, the times have changed.

The current masters are stronger than they were back then. Although he hasn't made much progress in recent years, he can still maintain the demeanor of a senior master when facing ordinary opponents. However, when he encounters monster-level opponents, he can hardly even save his own life, let alone maintain his demeanor.

Li Wei smiled politely and said, "Senior is too kind. You are still in good health. I came here to invite you to participate in the latest King of Fighters tournament."

Zhen Yuanzhai said with a wry smile, "Someone like me, a skeleton in a tomb, is qualified to participate? Didn't you see how badly I was defeated just now?"

Chin Gentsai was truly devastated. The fire serpent puppet that suddenly appeared was probably from the same era as him. It had gained its current power through a secret technique, which was understandable, since martial arts cultivation itself emphasizes hard work and accumulation.

However, Li Wei, who later defeated the fire serpent puppet, looked to be only in his early twenties. Yet, this "young and inexperienced" man easily defeated the powerful opponent who had defeated him in three moves. Such a disparity left him unable to accept it.

Zhen Yuanzhai shook his head and said, "Young man, you should find someone more capable. I need to start a new round of training now. After all, I am still too weak."

Zhen Yuanzhai didn't realize that it wasn't that he was weak, but that the Fire Serpent Puppet was too strong. Although it was just a puppet, the Fire Serpent Puppet's strength was that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. He, a mortal, couldn't win against a cultivator who had cultivated immortality and Qi Refining, even if he unleashed his inner universe. The gap between the two was too great, to the point that most methods couldn't bridge it. It was normal for things to turn out this way.

Li Wei sighed, "That's truly a pity. Without your participation, senior, this year's King of Fighters tournament will be much less exciting."

Li Wei felt it was a pity that Zhen Yuanzhai wouldn't participate in the competition; he hadn't expected his plan to have such a side effect.

Li Wei looked at Athena Asamiya and said, "Senior, is that girl your disciple? How did she get targeted by that evil cult? It seems that the cult won't give up so easily."

Chin Gentsai repeated what he had said about the fire serpent puppet.

Li Wei, with a righteous and righteous expression, said, "This kind of heinous evil cultist deserves to be killed by everyone. Letting him get away this time was too good for him. Next time we encounter him, we must keep him here."

Zhen Yuanzhai was also worried. The Fire Serpent Puppet was not someone to be trifled with. Since it said it would come back, it certainly wasn't joking with him.

Athena Asamiya is still not out of danger. Although she escaped unscathed this time thanks to Li Wei's timely arrival, Li Wei cannot stay here indefinitely, making this a very difficult situation.

Chapter 314. The Impotent Rage of the Young Fist Master

Chin Gentsai looked at Athena Asamiya, who seemed somewhat at a loss surrounded by a group of girls, and felt a pang of reluctance. He had watched this lovely girl grow up, but now he was unable to protect her. As her master, he felt like a failure.

Although he was very reluctant, as a master, he had to consider the future of his disciples. Both Kensou Chika and Athena Asamiya could be considered his successors, and he had been teaching them wholeheartedly. But now, he had to make a choice.

Recalling the words of the Fire Serpent Puppet, Chin Gentsai felt a chill run down his spine. If Athena Asamiya were targeted by such an enemy and were left unprotected, she would surely die.

Looking at Li Wei, Zhen Yuanzhai hardened his heart and said, "Young man, I've heard Tang Fulu mention you. You've been running around distributing special invitations lately; you've really worked hard." Li Wei smiled and said, "Making this year's King of Fighters tournament more exciting and of higher quality is my own wish, so it's only natural to work hard for it." Zhen Yuanzhai said, "Young man, I have a favor to ask." "Please speak, senior," Li Wei said politely.

Li Wei felt that his acting skills were getting better and better. Even an Oscar-winning actor wouldn't be worthy of shining his shoes. After all, only someone like him could play multiple roles and achieve this level of skill.

Suppressing his reluctance, Chin Gentsai said, "You heard what that monster said, young man. He won't let this go so easily. I can no longer protect Athena, so I want to entrust her to you." Chikensou, standing nearby, was stunned by his master's words. After recovering, he immediately said, "Master, we've only just met this man. Are you really going to trust him so much?"

Chikuni's words sounded somewhat inflammatory, but Li Wei could understand his anger. After all, Athena Asamiya was his childhood friend, and such a lovely girl like Athena Asamiya couldn't hide her charm even in simple clothes. Chikuni had long harbored feelings for her, and now that he knew his childhood friend was going to be sent to a strange man, Chikuni naturally couldn't accept it.

Zhen Yuanzhai's expression changed, and he slapped Zhi Quanchong on the back of the head, scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? Can you even protect your junior sister?"

Chiken Chong felt wronged, but he couldn't retort. After all, what his master said was true. If that mysterious enemy attacked again after Li Wei left, what could he do to protect Athena Asamiya?

Knowing this, Chikensou could do nothing but rage in vain. If he had the strength of Li Wei, he could naturally say no to his master and use his own power to protect his junior sister.

But the key is that he can't do it. For the first time, Chikensou hated his own powerlessness. If he had trained harder, he might not be in this situation now, only able to watch the girl he likes be sent to a hateful stranger.

Looking at Zhiquan Chong's complex and sorrowful expression, Li Wei felt a sense of pleasure. Indeed, it was such a delightful thing to build happiness on the suffering of others.

Moreover, this is a minotaur supported by the other party's master. Li Wei never expected that Chin Gentsai would do something like this. Chikensou's mentality must have collapsed by now.

Li Wei said, "Since you trust me so much, I will naturally not let you down. As long as I'm here, that monster won't be able to harm a single hair on her head. What's her name?" Zhen Yuanzhai replied, "Athena Asamiya."

"Asamiya? She's Japanese?" Li Wei asked, feigning surprise.

Chin Gentsai nodded and said, "I adopted her in Japan because her superpowers were too destructive when she was young, and her parents abandoned her as a monster. So I brought her back to Japan and taught her how to control her power."

Li Wei asked, "Is Athena Asamiya her real name?"

Chin Gentsai shook his head and said, "Her original name was Asamiya Mikoto, but because of the destructive power of her superpowers, and to avoid reminding her of sad things, I changed her name to the more stylish Asamiya Athena to distract her."

Li Wei nodded. It was another reality that differed from the initial expectations, but he was used to such things. The initial expectations could only be used as a reference, not taken as absolute truth.

Li Wei looked at Athena Asamiya with pity in his eyes and said, "She's such a lovely yet pitiful girl. Until we get rid of that monster, I'll have to make do with having her stay by my side for now."

Chikken Chong looked at Li Wei, his heart burning with jealousy, but he was no match for Li Wei and could do nothing about it.

Li Wei also received feedback from the system. Zhi Quan Chong was bitter and resentful because his beloved childhood sweetheart was sent to a strange man by his master, causing his mental state to collapse. He gained 2400 points and now has 10150 points remaining.

Li Wei looked at Chikyuu, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Athena. I will give her the best and teach her new self-defense skills. She will come back when she has mastered them."

Chikensou's expression was quite stiff, and the result of his forced smile was that it looked worse than a grimace.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Chikendsu forced himself to remain calm and said through gritted teeth.

Chin Gentsai waved to Athena, who apologized to the girls surrounding her and ran to Chin Gentsai's side. Looking at Li Wei, she seemed a little reserved.

Chin Gentsai said, "Athena, your master couldn't protect you from that monster, so I found someone who can protect you (Zhao Zhao). Let's say hello. This is Li Wei, the one who distributed the special invitation to the King of Fighters tournament. He is a powerful figure who is well-connected all over the world."

Athena Asamiya bowed slightly to Li Wei and said in a submissive manner, "Mr. Li, please guide me in the future."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Call me whatever you want, just don't call me 'sir.' It makes me feel very old."

"Can I call you Li Weijun?" Athena Asamiya cautiously raised her head and asked.

"Apart from 'sir,' which is too formal, any other title is fine. Athena, you're Japanese, so just call me whatever Japanese people usually do," Li Wei said with a smile.

“Okay, Li Wei!” Athena Asamiya breathed a sigh of relief. She was both surprised and delighted to learn that she would be following Li Wei. Seeing how approachable Li Wei was, she felt that her future days should not be too troublesome.

Chapter 315. The Village of Flying Thieves

Chikkensou could sense the change in Athena. The Athena who was looking at Li Wei now had eyes filled with adoration and love. Chikkensou felt his heart bleeding. He had always hoped that Athena would look at him like that, but now it seemed that this was just an unrealistic wish.

Chiken Chong could only suppress his resentment. At the same time, he told himself that he would take back what he had lost. He would become stronger within three years, and even surpass Li Wei.
