A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

The members of the King of Fighters team smiled knowingly. With Vega dead and the remaining hidden expert dealt with by Li Wei, all the tough opponents had been taken care of. Under these circumstances, it would be really unreasonable for them not to defeat their opponents.

Zhen Yuanzhai laughed and said, "Although I don't like fighting, I'm not afraid of it. But now it's a life-or-death emergency, so there's no need to be so particular."

Oswald, standing nearby, kept flipping through his deck of cards. Using playing cards as weapons, he was already prepared for battle. Vega had previously exerted immense pressure on him, but now that Vega had been dealt with by his ally Levi, he had no more reservations and could fight with all his might.

Harvey D. pushed up his sunglasses, struck a pose, and said, "I'll take over that boxer over there. It's been a long time since I've encountered a master boxer like him. It would be a real shame not to fight him."

Harvey D. set his sights on Bison. Harvey D. was originally just an ordinary boxer, but because his skills far surpassed those of ordinary people, he accidentally killed his opponent in a match. As a result, he was banned for several years, and because of his precedent of killing his opponent, no formal boxing competition dared to let him participate, leaving him feeling lonely. It was the King of Fighters tournament that rekindled his fighting spirit; otherwise, he would probably still be drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

For Harvey D., death is not frightening. To die fighting an opponent who is also a boxing master would be the epitome of romance for him. He is also one of the few people who doesn't care about spatial penalties at all; all he needs to do is fight.

The members of the King of Fighters team quickly decided on their opponents, while Li Wei's team faced Steel Fist.

Li Wei said, "I can sense that you are a master of martial arts. If it weren't for the limitations of this space, I would like to invite you for a drink."

Steel Fist assumed a fighting stance and said, "There's no need for so much talk. Now that we're in this space, let's abide by its rules. Only one of us can survive."

Steel Fist revealed a solemn expression. Vega's defeat clearly demonstrated just how powerful Levi was. Moreover, Levi defeated Vega effortlessly, without even using his full strength. He knew he was no match for such a powerful opponent, but now he had no choice.

Levi and Steel Fist avoided the others and found a relatively quiet place. The sounds of fighting could be heard not far away; a melee had begun. Levi and Steel Fist faced each other from a distance. Compared to Steel Fist's exaggeratedly muscular physique, Levi, though also tall and well-built, didn't have such exaggerated muscles. While full and powerful, his muscles still possessed a smooth, aesthetically pleasing line, unlike Steel Fist's bulging muscles, which resembled hard rock.

Steel Fist assumed the starting stance of the Hadouken style, put his hands together, and unleashed a powerful Hadouken. As a true inheritor of the Hadouken style, Steel Fist had a profound understanding of it, so his Hadouken had very little stiffness or opening. After the blue light appeared, he charged towards Li Wei, and at the same time, his body began to spin rapidly, performing the classic Hadouken whirlwind kick.

This entire combo would probably have overwhelmed an ordinary fighter. But Li Wei's thinking and reaction speed far exceeded that of ordinary people. The moment the steel fist was thrown, he already had a solution in mind.

Levi continued to use the Geese clone fighting system. Although the Krauser clone system was more suitable for dealing with the current situation, he just liked the Gale Fist and Aura Storm, so he didn't plan to change his current style.

Li Wei neither dodged nor evaded. When the Hadouken came close, he raised his hand and deflected it. Facing the steel fist that was already close, Li Wei adopted the Aikido blocking hand gesture that belonged to Geese's clone.

Aikido and Bone Flow are both very difficult to learn, mainly because these two fighting techniques are very easy to accidentally injure the person practicing with them. Therefore, it is difficult to find a coach to spar with, and you can only learn through actual combat. To master them, you need to spend more time learning than other fighting techniques.

However, Aikido at its peak is unparalleled in terms of grappling and throwing techniques, in no way inferior to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mongolian Wrestling. It is also proficient in joint destruction, making it a martial art that will inevitably injure someone with every strike and should not be used lightly against others.

Chapter 4. Fist to Flesh

Steel Fist's whirlwind kick was forcefully stopped by Levi. Geese's clone's Aikido counter-blocking stance was very effective when facing close-range opponents. Unlike Krauser's clone's domineering grappling techniques, Geese's clone's Aikido grappling techniques were both powerful and refined, focusing on quick reactions within a small area.

After Steel Fist's leg was blocked, before he could react, he was slammed to the ground by Li Wei, smashing the ground to pieces.

However, such damage is like a tickle to Steel Fist. In a pure contest of physical defense, the tough body developed through decades of hard training is far more powerful than Vega's hastily acquired physique.

Vega had previously tried to steal Ron's body, but was blown apart by the killing intent emanating from Ron's body. The Wave Flow technique, whether one takes the right path or the wrong path, can temper one's physical body to the extreme.

As a senior figure in the Hadouken style and Akuma's senior brother, Kouken is a formidable and powerful character. In fact, it could be said that Kouken's strength surpasses Vega's when fighting desperately. However, Kouken's fighting style is very simple and straightforward, unlike Vega who often creates grand spectacle.

However, what Li Wei is facing now is a steel fist that is in a desperate state and unleashing its full power.

"Drink!" Steel Fist shouted, instantly adjusting his center of gravity and launching a sliding kick at Li Wei's lower body. Li Wei slightly bent his knees to avoid the attack, and threw out the Gale Fist he had prepared, aiming directly at Steel Fist.

Steel Fist had witnessed the power of the Gale Fist before. Faced with this situation, he unleashed a Hadouken with a single push. Although the Hadouken was not as destructive as the two-handed one, it struck the core of the Gale Fist, and the two instantly canceled each other out.

Vega used his mental power to cheat his way of probing his opponent's inner thoughts. This method worked against most opponents, but when he encountered Levi, who was even more adept at manipulating souls and minds, he was deceived by his own mental perception and was ultimately easily killed by Levi.

However, Steel Fist, who has honed his skills through decades of relentless training and learning from other fighters and the natural world, relies entirely on his physical senses to anticipate his opponent's attacks. This predictive ability was actually much stronger than Levi's when they fought.

Because Steel Fist fights Levi by completely following the body's reactions and natural feedback, using this method of becoming one with nature, coupled with his stronger defense compared to Vega, it would be quite difficult for Levi to defeat him in a short time without using his full strength.

However, Levi did not use any cheating methods. Instead, he used Geese's clone fighting system to engage in a pure hand-to-hand combat with Steel Fist. This kind of visceral, manly fighting style was quite romantic.

"I didn't expect you to be able to find the flaw in this move. You've got some skill." Li Wei hadn't expected that Steel Fist could neutralize Gale Fist in such a way. Gale Fist would be considered a powerful finishing move by other fighters, but Steel Fist used an ordinary Hadouken to neutralize it by striking the weak core of Gale Fist, achieving victory with less effort.

This fighting style, which uses relatively low-cost moves to counter the opponent's powerful moves, is a very clever tactic of attrition warfare. If it were not Li Wei standing here, but another fighter, they would easily be dragged into Steel Fist's rhythm without realizing it, and then worn down to death.

Steel Fist tried to use his Whirlwind Kick again, but Li Wei seized the opportunity, moved closer to his opponent, and blocked his knee. Before Steel Fist could even spin, he was slammed to the ground again.

"Your Aikido is truly impressive. To be able to practice this defensive and counter-attacking technique to the point where you can actively attack, you are a martial arts genius." Steel Fist flipped and jumped to create distance, while simultaneously unleashing several Hadoukens from both sides towards Li Wei.

These Hadouken attacks varied in speed and even some followed an arc, effectively blocking Li Wei's movement space from various angles. Seizing this opportunity, Steel Fist brought his hands together and directly used his ultimate technique, "Vacuum Hadouken."

A massive blue energy blast arced towards Li Wei. Instead of taking the hit head-on, Li Wei ducked low, dodging all the attacks while simultaneously closing in on Steel Fist. The Vacuum Wave Fist, having missed its target, struck the building, instantly shattering it into pieces.

··· ·Requesting flowers····

Real fighting is not like side-scrolling fighting games where there is very little room to dodge. Real fighting is very free, so it is not easy to block the opponent's movement with moves like the Hadouken. That's why Li Wei can now avoid even the Vacuum Hadouken.

As Li Wei approached Steel Fist, a smile of successful planning appeared on Steel Fist's face. He stomped one foot on the ground and unleashed a powerful Rising Dragon Fist, striking Li Wei head-on. The immense force lifted Li Wei into the air, and although it didn't cause direct damage, it disrupted his balance. However, Li Wei wasn't an ordinary fighter who would simply take the hits head-on while airborne. He had already adjusted his stance in mid-air, throwing two Gale Fists that directly neutralized the several Hadouken attacks from Steel Fist.

........ .....

Watching Li Wei land steadily, Steel Fist exclaimed in admiration, "You are the strongest young man I have ever seen, without equal. I feel honored to fight you."

Steel Fist charged again, but this time, he didn't use any techniques. Instead, he charged purely with brute force. Realizing that his Hadouken and Spinning Kick would be intercepted, Steel Fist instantly changed his fighting style. He used the most primitive fighting method of Hadouken, first closing the distance with his opponent, and then using the advantage of distance to create distance fluctuations.

Li Wei sensed his opponent's intentions, but he did not dodge. Instead, he charged forward head-on. Steel Fist's body was forged through countless trials and tribulations, while his body was also a naturally formed physique, constantly tempered by "qi" day and night. In a simple contest of physical strength, Li Wei was not afraid of Steel Fist, who was much larger than him.

The two men collided, and in an instant, fists flew everywhere. Both men unleashed their full power without reservation, leaving numerous fist marks on the surface of the steel fist. The intense pain stimulated the ferocity within him, making his punches faster and heavier.

As for Li Wei, his powerful physical defense meant he didn't suffer any real damage. His casual clothes were torn, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were no visible wounds beneath the tattered fabric.

Chapter 4. Breakthrough in the Face of Battle

This intense exchange of blows didn't last long. Soon, Steel Fist couldn't withstand Li Wei's heavy blows and took the initiative to create distance between them. However, Li Wei followed closely, grabbed Steel Fist's index finger, twisted it forcefully, and threw him to the ground.

Unlike the sweeping, aggressive style of Chinese wrestling, Aikido excels at disrupting an opponent's joints within a small area. Because he acquired all of Geese's memories in this area, Levi, who had never been exposed to Aikido before, became an Aikido master because of these memories.

Steel Fist felt that his index finger, which was being held, was immobile. If he dared to forcefully pull his finger out, Li Wei could easily cripple his entire arm. He didn't know why he had such an intuition, but since his intuition had already told him what the consequences would be, he naturally wouldn't go against his instincts. He rolled over and, following the direction Li Wei twisted, barely managed to break free from Li Wei's grasp.

Steel Fist looked at his swollen and red index finger with a grave expression. His index finger was dislocated; even with the force redirected by Li Wei, it was still pulled out. If the force hadn't been released in time, the meridians in his entire right forearm would probably have been severed. In Aikido, where most people can only use it for defense and counter-attacks, Li Wei displayed a terrifying ability to launch proactive attacks.

Steel Fist endured the pain of his dislocated finger and put it back in place. For a martial artist, injuries are commonplace; he could even dislocate his shoulder himself. A dislocated finger was just a minor injury to him. However, the excessive pain was caused by a special energy invading his body.

Li Wei, who was already close to Steel Fist, slammed his knee into him, sending Steel Fist flying. The backward Steel Fist crashed into a car, and the huge impact sent the car flying as well. Steel Fist and the car crashed into a roadside shop, and a huge explosion and flames erupted. The sparks from the impact ignited the fuel leaking from the car's fuel tank, and the street shops were instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

However, all the flames seemed to come alive, transforming into streaks of fire that converged at a single point. At this moment, the steel fist, now in the hand gesture of the Vacuum Wave Fist, absorbed all the surrounding flames with its energy wave and then slammed it out towards Li Wei.

Li Wei raised his right leg high and stomped down hard, causing a huge blue wave of energy to surge outwards. The two powerful forces collided, instantly triggering a nuclear explosion.

The buildings in the entire block were instantly shattered, with buildings collapsing one after another, and smoke and dust obscuring the sky.

A strong wind blew, instantly dispersing all the smoke and dust, and Li Wei and Steel Fist faced off from afar.

At this point, Li Wei's casual shirt was ripped to shreds, and his taekwondo uniform was also badly damaged.

Li Wei grabbed his tattered clothes and gently tore them apart, revealing his muscular upper body.

"Very good, you're much more resilient than that eyeless monster from before," Li Wei laughed.

Kouken lowered his center of gravity and assumed the starting stance of the Hadouken Ryu. Ura Ryu. Because Akuma had gone astray, Kouken's heart had wavered for a period of time. He took out a secret manual of Ura Ryu that was directly sealed by his sect and began to learn how to use the Killing Intent Wave. However, he stopped his desires and did not indulge in the Killing Intent Wave excessively.

The Killing Intent Wave is an extremely dangerous power. If one is not careful, one will end up like Akuma. Akuma spent decades learning how to control this power. Knowing that his talent was not as good as his junior brother Akuma's Steel Fist, he was worried that he would never be able to control this power and would be led by the nose by it. Therefore, he only managed to master the Killing Intent Wave.

Even with only a half-baked killing intent, combined with the strength he had cultivated through decades of hard work, he could still unleash several times his normal fighting power.

Li Wei smiled as he watched the purple flames rising from Steel Fist's body. He hadn't felt this excited in a long time. The battle with Steel Fist had ignited his fighting spirit. He wanted to defeat Steel Fist with his own fists, rather than crushing him with magic.

At this moment, Steel Fist's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his muscles bulged. His head floated upwards as if freed from the constraints of gravity. However, the purple flames instantly dissipated, and Steel Fist's demeanor returned to what it had been before, but he became more composed and powerful.

Having played Street Fighter, Li Wei knew that this was "Power of Nothingness," a system no weaker than Killing Intent Wave... Li Wei never expected that Steel Fist could combine Killing Intent Wave and Power of Nothingness, breaking through the limits in battle and reaching a higher level. Breaking through in the heat of battle is a protagonist-level achievement.

"Breakthrough? Interesting. It's a pity you've met me. No matter how much you strengthen yourself, you'll never be my match." Li Wei spread his arms, a confident smile on his face.

Steel Fist took a deep breath and said, "Many things, you won't know the outcome if you don't try. Maybe I'll die here, maybe I'll win, but no matter what, I have to thank you for giving me this power. Even if I only experience this power for a short while, it would be worth dying for."

Steel Fist is somewhat similar to his apprentice Long, both being incurable martial arts fanatics. Now, his new stance, combining the power of nothingness with the fluctuations of killing intent, is a new stance that is in absolute balance between calmness and frenzy of killing intent. This makes his mind clearer, but at the same time, he feels that Li Wei is in danger. This battle may very well be the last battle of his life.

"You are the strongest enemy I have ever encountered, without exception. In my perception, you are like a bottomless abyss. I know I may die, but to die at the hands of a strongman like you would be a blessing." After saying this, Steel Fist kicked out with both feet, launching a whirlwind kick with speed far exceeding his previous attacks. Li Wei once again assumed an Aikido blocking stance, but just as Steel Fist was about to collide with Li Wei, he twisted his body in mid-air, and the whirlwind kick immediately transformed into a slashing kick.

Li Wei had originally assumed a frontal parry stance, but due to Steel Fist's sudden change of move, he had to temporarily raise his hand to switch his parry position. However, this momentary gap caused a loss of power. Although his parry stance was in place in time, Li Wei was still knocked back by the heavy air-slashing kick. His legs plowed two furrows in the ground, while Steel Fist launched a new round of pursuit.

"That was exhilarating!" Li Wei revealed a hearty smile. This kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat awakened the wildness within him. Now, he was no longer a high and mighty Qi cultivator, but like Steel Fist, a fighter who pursued even greater strength.

Chapter 4. Defeating Steel Fist

The Hadouken style has four signature techniques: Hadouken, Shoryuken, Senpu-kyuu, and Sakuno-kyuu. After years of practice, Kouken has integrated these four techniques into his instincts, which is why he can seamlessly switch between moves and use such realistic feints to deceive Li Wei.

After being knocked back a distance, Li Wei stomped his foot on the ground, and the rising blue air wave blocked the steel fist that wanted to pursue. Li Wei was far more talented than Geese's clone, so Li Wei did not need to use his hands to charge up. He could generate fighting spirit by kicking or stomping, and directly use fighting spirit storms to attack or defend.

Faced with the rising blue energy wave, Steel Fist gritted his teeth and thrust his right hand towards the wave. The heavy blue energy wave collided with the massive blue energy cannon, causing another massive explosion.

This time, Steel Fist was blasted away, his flesh mangled. As a technique for both offense and defense, the Battle Qi Storm formed a Battle Qi shield the instant the explosion occurred, enveloping Li Wei. Steel Fist, however, took all the impact of the explosion head-on, which is why he was in such a miserable state.

Steel Fist adjusted his position in mid-air, ignoring his own injuries from the explosion, and seized the moment when Li Wei removed his aura storm shield, rushing in front of Li Wei.

"True Rising Dragon Fist!!!" Steel Fist used all his strength, aiming his left fist at Li Wei's chin, and soared into the sky.

The heavy punch successfully struck Li Wei's chin, and Steel Fist revealed a surprised expression. However, he felt excruciating pain all over his body. When he came to his senses, he found that his chest had been pierced through from behind.

Steel Fist realized that he hadn't killed the real Li Wei, but only a false afterimage. However, the physical sensation of his fist hitting the target was so real that he thought he had successfully killed his target.

"I lost... What a pity." Steel Fist looked at the hand that had pierced through his chest, clutching a heart—that heart was now his.

“You’re very good, but unfortunately, you’re still a bit too slow. Do you have any last wishes?” Li Wei asked.

“I still have the secret manual of the Wave Flow technique on me. If possible, please pass this technique on to me. This is my last request,” Steel Fist said.

Even without his heart, Steel Fist's powerful physique allows him to survive for a short time, but only a few minutes longer than an ordinary person. In particular, his thick blood vessels make his blood flow faster than that of an ordinary person, so he also loses blood faster. Therefore, his strong physique does not bring him much help; after all, he is not Vega.

“I can grant your request, after all, your school of thought is quite interesting,” Li Wei said.

Many Chinese people grew up playing Street Fighter, and although Li Wei prefers the King of Fighters series, he also played Street Fighter. In fact, he accumulated more than 4 hours of playtime for Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter.

Therefore, Li Wei would not refuse Steel Fist's request, but he would not casually pass on the Wave Flow technique, especially in the real world, where outsiders, apart from his puppet clones, would absolutely not be able to learn the Wave Flow skills.

By passing on the techniques of the Wave Flow to his puppet clone, wouldn't that be considered passing on the technique? Although it was a word game, Li Wei ultimately agreed to Steel Fist's request.

Steelfist's pupils lost their light. Li Wei could feel that Steelfist's life force was rapidly draining away. Even a superhuman would find such a fatal wound, like having his heart taken away, troublesome. Not to mention that Steelfist wasn't like Vega, whose soul could move between different bodies. Now, his life had come to an end.

Li Wei received a notification from the space, Steel Fist died, and the King of Fighters team scored another point.
