A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

"Are you serious?" Now it was Takuma Sakazaki's turn to be surprised.

“Of course, I’m an adult now, Dad. You and my brother can’t protect me forever. I have to grow up too, don’t I?” Yuri Sakazaki said.

Takuma Sakazaki sighed. He knew this day would come sooner or later. However, after the incident of Yuri Sakazaki being kidnapped by Mr. Big, he was always worried about his daughter's safety, to the point of being somewhat neurotic.

However, Sakazaki Takuma did not approve of Sakazaki Yuri calling herself an adult. In his view, Sakazaki Yuri was only approaching adulthood in age, but was still somewhat immature in mind.

Moreover, safety is a major concern for girls when they go out. The reason he sent Yuri Sakazaki to a church school was because church schools have the strongest security of all types of schools. After all, they are "training camps" for cultivating wealthy family ladies, so their security conditions are absolutely top-notch.

Takuma Sakazaki said, "I'll be right back. Don't make any hasty decisions. I'll have your brother calm him down first, and we'll decide everything after I get back."

Yuri Sakazaki was excited when she heard her father's words. This time, her father did not directly deny her idea, which was a big improvement. Maybe this time she could really go out and see the world with Li Wei.

Before long, Ryo Sakazaki arrived outside Li Wei's room. Li Wei, who had been monitoring the entire dojo using his sensory abilities, naturally knew the purpose of the visit.

“Mr. Li Wei, are you resting?” Ryo Sakazaki asked in a low voice outside Li Wei’s room.

"Not yet. Is there something you need from me at this time?" Li Wei asked.

“May I trouble you, Mr. Levi, to stay here for the night? My father has already bought his plane ticket and is on his way back,” Ryo Sakazaki said. Levi opened the paper door, walked into the corridor, and said, “I didn’t expect the curator to be flying today; this is truly a pleasant surprise.”

Ryo Sakazaki said, "My father will be back at the dojo by 8 p.m. at the latest. I hope you can wait patiently. My father has something important to discuss with you." Li Wei smiled and said, "In that case, I will wait."

Li Wei could roughly guess why Sakazaki Takuma had rushed back so hastily. After all, he had eavesdropped on the entire phone call between Sakazaki Yuri and Sakazaki Takuma. Sakazaki Takuma was worried about his daughter and rushed back so urgently, firstly to see if he was a reliable person, and secondly to see if he was strong enough to protect Sakazaki Yuri.

Li Wei could understand such feelings. After all, most parents in the world still love their children dearly. Sakazaki Yuri was Sakazaki Takuma's precious daughter, so it was normal for him to take this matter so seriously.

Originally, Li Wei planned to leave the Kyokugenryu Dojo in the afternoon to cause trouble for Terry and Andy, but since Takuma Sakazaki had returned, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

After all, traveling with a beautiful young girl like Yuri Sakazaki is quite a nice thing, much better than being with a big guy like Chang Koehan or Zangief.

As for the issues of getting along with more girls around him, Li Wei wasn't worried about that at all.

Around 7 p.m., Takuma Sakazaki returned to the Kyokugenryu Dojo.

Inside the reception room, only Li Wei and Takuma Sakazaki sat facing each other. The environment was very quiet, and neither of them spoke rashly.

Finally, Takuma Sakazaki broke the silence, saying, "Mr. Levi, I've returned this time because there's something important I want to discuss with you."

Li Wei said, "As long as it's not excessive, it's all negotiable."

“I want to test your strength. I know this request is a bit much, but this time I have to offend you,” Takuma Sakazaki said with a serious expression.

Through Ryo Sakazaki's description, Takuma Sakazaki has gained approval for Li Wei's gentle and friendly personality. Although a gentle personality means a lack of aggression for a martial artist, such a personality should not be a disadvantage to Yuri Sakazaki, which is actually a good thing.

043 But no matter how good her personality is, it's all for naught without strong strength. After all, sending invitations to those unruly fighters is no easy task. So she has to be sure of Li Wei's strength. If Li Wei's strength is not up to par, she will never allow Yuri Sakazaki to leave with Li Wei.

Li Wei smiled and said, "I visited you a couple of days ago, and I was quite disappointed to learn that you weren't at the dojo. It's a good thing that I can now exchange skills with you."

Takuma Sakazaki said, "The dojo has limited space. You wouldn't mind fighting outside, would you?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm not that picky, even about the place for sparring. However, the dojo is indeed a bit cramped for us, and we're worried about damaging the buildings and the venue, which would prevent us from showing our true skills."

Takuma Sakazaki nodded and said, "That's perfect, please follow me."

The two climbed over the wall and left the dojo without letting the disciples know. Li Wei followed Sakazaki Takuma to an abandoned open space. The streetlights were dim, and there were no people around. It was so quiet that you could hear the chirping of insects. It was a perfect place to make a move.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a wonderful place here."

Takuma Sakazaki assumed his signature starting stance and declared, "I'm going in!"

Li Wei assumed a Wing Chun stance, lowered his center of gravity, and said, "Please instruct me."

Chapter 259. Takuma Sakazaki's Worries

Li Wei's fighting style is very free, and as a "magic master", he doesn't need to fight in close combat with the enemy. He can directly use magical artifacts or spells. He will only choose to fight in close combat when he has no other choice.

Li Wei's current strength is somewhat overpowered in this world. If Li Wei goes all out, probably only the fully formed Orochi can fight him head-on. The incomplete Orochi that appeared in 97 is just a little brother in Li Wei's eyes.

Having watched the movie "Ip Man" before, Li Wei found Wing Chun, a martial art, quite interesting. So, before setting off, he searched for information about Wing Chun online and tried practicing it.

Li Wei, who was already an extraordinary being, found it easy to cultivate this mortal-level martial art. He mastered all the techniques in just half an hour and developed a King of Fighters version of Wing Chun that allowed him to project his internal energy.

Seeing Li Wei's stance, Takuma Sakazaki's expression became somewhat serious. At the same time, he gently stepped forward with his right foot, slowly closing the distance between them.

Even the most novice fighters in this world can unleash their inner energy, producing blasts with destructive power comparable to firearms or even artillery fire—it's all basic stuff for them.

Takuma Sakazaki reached forward with his left hand, and his right hand, hidden behind his back, suddenly pushed out. An invisible force shot out like a cannonball, plowing the soil on the open ground and turning it over to both sides.

Li Wei pushed his elbow forward, dispersing Sakazaki Takuma's "Tiger Blaze Fist".

Unlike the Tiger Flame Fist of his children and disciples, Takuma Sakazaki's Tiger Flame Fist has been honed to perfection, compressing his energy to a level invisible to the naked eye, making it impossible to defend against.

Tiger Flame Fist was blocked, and Takuma Sakazaki's body stiffened briefly. Although it was only a momentary stiffness, Li Wei's speed was faster than he imagined. In an instant, he was in front of him, and his rapid-fire punches, carrying terrifying wind pressure, came straight at his face.

Although Li Wei's rapid punches didn't land directly on Sakazaki Takuma's face, the intense wind pressure still distorted his features. Having delivered over forty punches in a single second, Li Wei stopped, stepped back, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and smiled, saying, "Thank you for the honor."

Takuma Sakazaki's back was soaked with cold sweat. This wasn't the first time he had been defeated by Wing Chun, but both times it was a crushing defeat. Takuma Sakazaki sighed inwardly. Wing Chun's short-range power was simply cheating. The speed was just too fast, so fast that his dynamic vision couldn't keep up with the speed of the punches. He only felt a blur before his eyes and knew that if it were a life-or-death battle, his head would have been smashed to pieces by now.

Takuma Sakazaki is a man who can accept defeat; in his view, if you lose, you lose.

“Sir, your skill is superior. I admire you.” Sakazaki Takuma also made a fist salute. When he was young, Sakazaki Takuma traveled all over the world and also trained hard in the country of Okinawa, so he was very familiar with the martial arts etiquette of Okinawa.

Takuma Sakazaki had realized just how powerful the young man before him was. No wonder he had the audacity to send invitations to those unruly fighters; such a thing could only be done with real skill.

With such strength, protecting Yuri Sakazaki was more than enough, and he finally felt relieved.

His biggest concern was Sakazaki Yuri's safety. As long as her safety could be guaranteed, letting her go out and see the world wouldn't be a bad thing. After all, his daughter would eventually grow up, and he couldn't keep her by his side forever.

Takuma Sakazaki said, "I'll leave Yuri in your care for the next while, sir."

Li Wei said, "I see. No wonder you were in such a hurry to come back, Director. This exchange was far too brief. I haven't yet grasped the essence of the Extreme Style."

Takuma Sakazaki sighed and said, "With your strength, even if I used all my abilities, I would still lose to you. There's a huge gap in our strength. I feel like all my hard work over the years has been for nothing." Li Wei laughed and said, "There's no need for you to say that, Master. The reason I have the strength I have at this age is because of some fortuitous encounters that allowed me to take shortcuts. If it weren't for those encounters, you could easily defeat me." Li Wei was well aware of his own situation. Without his cheat-like abilities, he was just an ordinary person. He held the hard-working fighters of this world in high regard.

After all, not everyone can endure the hardships of training. Every drop of sweat that fighters shed is seen as self-torture by ordinary people. Only through rigorous training that pushes the limits can one obtain power that surpasses human limits.

Therefore, despite gaining power through shortcuts, Li Wei maintains a basic level of respect for all fighters.

Takuma Sakazaki said, “Sir, there’s no need to comfort me like that. Being able to accept defeat is one of my few strengths. Besides, I know that Kyokugenryu isn’t the strongest style in the world. Kyokugenryu, which originated from karate, has stumbled many times on its path forward. This is just another stumble. I’ll just get back up.”

Li Wei laughed and said, "The curator is indeed an optimistic person."

Takuma Sakazaki said, "Yuri wants to travel with you, sir, to see the world. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with that. I think Yuri has already asked you."

Li Wei nodded and said, "If you trust me, Director, I can take care of her for you. Anyway, I'm just running around delivering invitations, so it won't hurt for her to travel around."

Takuma Sakazaki said, "Then I'll leave it to you, sir."

Li Wei said, "I will stay in Nanzhen for the next few days, so let Youli wait at home for now. I will come to pick her up when it's time to leave Nanzhen."

After discussing it with Takuma Sakazaki, the two secretly slipped back to the dojo. Because it was too late, Li Wei did not leave the Kyokugenryu dojo and stayed in a guest room at the dojo, planning to leave after dawn.

As night fell, Yuri Sakazaki prepared bedding and other necessities for Levi. Yuri Sakazaki's face was always filled with excitement, and she hummed a cheerful song, walking as if she were about to fly.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Is it necessary to get so excited? It's just a trip abroad."

Yuri Sakazaki said, "This is my first time traveling so far! The farthest place I've ever been before was California, but this is my first time going abroad!"

Yuri Sakazaki grew up in South Korea, and her upbringing made her personality like that of a typical South Korean girl—optimistic and cheerful, unlike girls who grew up in Japan, who tend to be more reserved.

"Then this time, I can finally satisfy you, Yuri. We're going to be flying all over the world!" Li Wei said with a smile.

"When do we set off?" Yuri Sakazaki asked.

"We still have an invitation to send out in Nanzhen. Once we send that out, we can set off," Li Wei said with a smile.

There was still plenty of time. Even if Li Wei slacked off while delivering the invitations, it wouldn't affect his journey. After delivering the invitations in Nanzhen, Li Wei planned to make a trip to Japan to deliver the invitations to Kusanagi Kyo.

Chapter 260. The Consequences of Speaking Insolently

After making the bed for Li Wei, Yuri Sakazaki ran off in a flash. Li Wei smiled knowingly. He was no good person; for Takuma Sakazaki to entrust his daughter to him was like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

However, Li Wei still has to maintain his "good guy" persona, since this facade is very useful and he wants to use it for a while longer.

Looking at Yuri Sakazaki's slightly slender back, Li Wei wanted to complain. From the time Yuri Sakazaki first appeared to the latest King of Fighters XIV, more than ten or twenty years have passed, but she has always maintained the appearance of a young girl.

Even Chun-Li from Street Fighter has grown from a teenage girl to a mature woman in her twenties, but SNK's female characters are a bunch of ageless monsters. They are the same age they were when they first appeared, and they are still the same age in the 14th generation. So many years have passed, and they haven't aged at all.

The only characters whose ages change are the various male characters. It has to be said that SNK has learned to compromise now. Considering that SNK almost went bankrupt in the past, it's normal that they've learned their lesson. After all, SNK's financial resources are far behind Capcom's, and they simply don't have the luxury of being capricious. Therefore, pandering to otaku and selling nostalgia have become the only way for the reborn SNK to survive.

The next morning, Li Wei left the Kyokugenryu Dojo. With the intelligence provided by 047 Geese Puppet, Li Wei didn't need to search for the Bogard brothers himself. With just one phone call, he knew where the Bogard brothers were.

The Bogard brothers ran a general store in an old town area. Business was decent, but it was barely enough to support themselves and their martial arts training. Martial artists consume several times more food than ordinary people. It's only because the price of basic meat is low here in Amei's country that the two brothers would have struggled to make ends meet in Chongguo in 91.

The new urban area of ​​Nanzhen is very prosperous, but the old urban area, which has been abandoned by the times, has gradually become a slum. Relatively wealthy families are gathering in the new urban area and the suburbs, leaving only people who cannot leave the dilapidated old urban area due to economic conditions and other reasons.

Although the Bogard brothers are Geese's arch-enemies and are quite strong, their economic conditions are only average. An ordinary person could live well with such an income, but unfortunately, both brothers are martial artists, so they can only barely make ends meet.

Giss didn't shut down the Bogard brothers' general store for two reasons: first, he didn't want to push them to the brink; second, he was nostalgic.

Because that slightly dilapidated grocery store was the place Geese had longed for as a boy. Back then, Geese, along with Jeff, the adoptive father of the Bogard brothers, and another fellow apprentice Chen Taishan, were known as the "Three Fighting Brothers." This grocery store was where the three brothers started their business.

This grocery store was also the softest spot in Geese's heart, holding his most beautiful memories. So even though a "big shot" like Geese could easily shut down the grocery store, he always turned a blind eye.

Giss was nostalgic, but Levi wasn't, so Levi went straight to the old neighborhood where the two brothers ran their general store. Although the old town looked somewhat dilapidated, it also had an indescribable sense of history, old yet full of vitality.

When Levi arrived at his destination, only Andy was in the store, while Terry was playing basketball with a group of people at a nearby street basketball court.

Li Wei arrived at the basketball court and watched as a group of people fought over the ball. The intense struggle caused the ball to fly towards Li Wei, who reached out and caught it.

"Hey! Yellow-skinned monkey! Throw the ball over here!" a tall black man shouted from the field.

Li Wei raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected to be provoked by a black man.
