Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Although it's foreseeable that Yuan Chen will definitely follow the path of a martial artist or fighter in the future, they are still very curious about what Yuan Chen is going to learn now.

After all, a considerable number of martial artists, in addition to their identity on the arena, also have a side job to hone their martial arts and willpower.

Especially for modern martial artists, opening a martial arts school is a very common way to cultivate their minds.

“Physiotherapy therapist,” Yuan Chen replied.

"Physical therapy?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, the others beside him nodded thoughtfully.

Martial arts flourish in this world, especially in large cities like the Fighting World. Even office workers on the street often have some skills, and it's common for them to touch elbows and start fighting on the spot if they take a liking to each other.

With the rise of martial arts, related techniques naturally also flourished. The medical industry goes without saying; even outside the martial arts world, you can still find two or three martial arts clinics on a single street in Hong Kong today.

Physiotherapy is an extremely popular industry. After all, even without injury, if you simply want to improve your health and prevent the accumulation of hidden injuries from over-training, you still need to use a physiotherapist.

Having already experienced the life energy that Yuan Chen possessed, Xing Shuang, who was present, only needed to think for a moment before realizing that there was no problem.

“Indeed, it’s a good choice.” Sagat nodded. “With the power you possess, becoming the world’s number one physical therapist is probably just a matter of time, isn’t it?”

“Indeed.” Huo Yinqiang nodded in agreement, but then asked curiously, “What about the food? Although the therapy was indeed amazing, I feel a lot of regret if I can’t eat Brother’s life-saving dishes in the future…”

“Dietary supplements are also part of physical therapy.”

Yuan Chen shrugs his shoulders.

"That's so exciting~!" Hibiki Tsuyoshi showed a happy expression.

Meanwhile, watching the two chatting happily, Xing Shuai Qiu L Shui seemed to realize something.

Although Yuan Chen didn't make such a request, if he remembered correctly... Sagat was fighting him to the death just a few days ago, and before that, Sagat had one eye gouged out by that middle-aged man with the buttocks and chin, and Sagat almost killed that man on the spot...

But why do they seem so strangely harmonious now? It's like their previous fierce battles were just a joke...

I don't quite understand Wu Fengshui.

Perhaps... I really need to do what Garuda said and use "liberation" to take a good look at the wonders of Yuan Chen?

While Wu Fengshui was still lost in thought, Sagat, after a moment of silence, looked at Yuan Chen and said, "If the documents are all ready... that means you'll be leaving soon, right?"

"Yes." Yuan Chen nodded: "We'll probably depart the day after tomorrow."

"I see... wait a moment." Upon hearing this, Sagat got up and walked towards his bedroom. A moment later, he returned with a card depicting a golden fist and handed it to Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen: "?"

“Glory Boxing Gym,” Sagat said.

“Kaorang Unsawadoo, the current professional Muay Thai champion in Bangkok, is my friend. We have exchanged a lot of ideas in Muay Thai. This is a VIP card he gave me before. I haven’t used it yet, and I probably won’t need it in the future. Consider it a thank you gift.”

In response, Yuan Chen was simply curious... You two are both Muay Thai emperors, who is better?

Volume 1: Chapter 48 - Ideal

Upon hearing Sagat's words, Yuan Chen's eyes also showed a hint of interest.

Gaolang Winsawad, who debuted in Kengan Ashura, was 15 years old and was known as invincible in Thailand. After switching from Muay Thai to boxing, he won the heavyweight championship of the four major councils in just four years and was hailed as the God of Fighting.

However, this is all within the setting of the Kengan Ashura worldview.

Before Yuan Chen decided to confront Sagat, he specifically took the time to check on the situation in Thailand.

In contrast to Sagate's status as the founder of Muay Thai in Chiang Mai, Gaolang is much younger than Sagate, but he is already the modern Muay Thai emperor of Bangkok.

But that's all in the past.

Sagate has now been expelled from the Chiang Mai Muay Thai tradition and is literally a ghost in the name of Muay Thai. He can no longer attend official events as a Muay Thai emperor, national hero, or national icon.

As for Gaolang, he's currently enjoying great popularity.

Yuan Chen, who has always been the type to ask questions and dislikes keeping things to himself, asked with some curiosity, "Who is better, you or Gao Lang?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's question, Sagat's face showed a hint of helplessness.

Especially when he looked at the people on the side and saw that not only Yuan Chen, but also Huo Yinqiang, Huo Yindan, the two women of the Wu clan, and even Tong Ang and Chun Li all looked curious, he couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"It seems that anyone who has heard of the Northern and Southern styles of Muay Thai asks me this question..."

"It's human nature to distinguish between high and low, and to prioritize things." Hearing Sagat's words, Yuan Chen chuckled and said, "So, you two...?"

Somewhat helpless, Sagat stroked his chin and said:

"Actually, we've talked a lot and we're friends... Although Gaolang always seems quiet, he's a pretty good guy. We've sparred privately before, and if it's without rules, I win more often. But if it's according to professional rules, he wins more often."

"Isn't this what they mean by specialization?" Upon hearing this, Huo Yin Dan, who was standing to the side, also joined the discussion with great interest: "If you ask me, it is the battles without rules that best demonstrate a fighter's overall skill level!"

“You can’t be so absolute,” Hibiki said, shaking his head.

"If we consider the rules as a constraint, then for some martial artists and fighters, it is also a form of training. Especially when they break free from these constraints, they can unleash even greater power."

Compared to the Fire-Attracting Pill, Yuan Chen was clearly more concerned about Sagat's statement about "their previous private sparring" regarding whether "strength under the rules is true strength."

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen asked, "Since that was before... what about now? Who is stronger now?"

"I haven't competed with him, so I don't know." Although he said this, Sagat calmly added, "But if it were now, I couldn't think of any reason why I would lose to him."

"Why?" Yuan Chen asked.

“Because he was like me before,” Sagat replied, “his fists were also bound by some kind of honor… trapped in the identity of a hero, a boxing champion. But I am completely different now.”

Upon hearing Sagat's reply, Yuan Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that Yuan Chen seemed to understand something, after a moment of silence, Sagat leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and said:

"After a while, I will return to Thailand to find the original aspirations I have lost."

“I will also go and learn,” Huo Yindan raised his hand.

"Although my time here was short, it has left a lasting impression on me." Ignoring Huo Yindan's interruption, Sagat simply gazed at Yuan Chen and said:

"Once I've dealt with things there, taken the punishment I deserve, and let go of what I need to let go of, I'll go to the Battle Realm to find you."

"Welcome," Yuan Chen said succinctly.

"That's good." Knowing Yuan Chen's personality, Sagat's lips curled into a smile. But then, he looked up with a sigh and said:

"It's only been a few days, but I feel like I've gained so much. It was a humiliating defeat, but I didn't feel any resentment at all... Sigh, Yuan Chen, I probably won't forget you for the rest of my life."

"You make it sound like I'm about to be cut in half at the waist..."

Yuan Chen shook his head helplessly, but then a faint smile appeared on his face.

"But it sounds pretty good? I'll come again when I have the chance, and I'll be even stronger then."

“Yes.” Sagat nodded. “I have no doubt about that.”

Perhaps it's because Yuan Chen is about to leave? Or perhaps it's just that everything has come together at once?

Hearing that Yuan Chen and Sagat were preparing to leave, Tong Ang said, "I'm leaving in a couple of days too... Hmm, it's on the same route, I'll go with A-Chen then."

Yuan Chen nodded.

"I'll probably stay here," said the woman, looking at the woman with a smug expression. "With my abilities, as long as there are no other problems, running a martial arts school that teaches self-defense shouldn't be a problem."

As the worst person present, Hibiki Kiyoshi has clearly accepted his mediocrity and made peace with his current life.

Just as I was feeling sentimental, Old Yuan's lewd voice came from the side again: "Busy, everyone's busy, it's good to be busy~"

In response, Tong Ang rolled his eyes at Yuan with a hint of helplessness and said:

"You old codger, still acting all sarcastic and weird. Didn't you say you'd retired from the assassination world? Turns out you haven't lost a single connection in the assassination world... If you really want to retire, go to the Doujie world with Ah Chen. Ah Chen might need a doorman to watch over his shop there."

“I will go, but not now,” the elder said, leaning back comfortably in his chair. “I will go when Yuan Chen is ready.”

"...Ready?" Chun-Li was taken aback. "Ready for what?"

Although it was just a simple inquiry, neither Yuan Chen nor Yuan Du answered immediately.

During this brief silence, everyone present sensed a subtle unease.

Subconsciously, he looked at Yuan Chen and Yuan, a pair who were more like grandfather and grandson than master and disciple.

Although Yuan Chen's expression was calm, and Yuan Ye only had a lewd look on his face, one could clearly feel a huge and resolute will emanating from the two of them.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "Of course it's about strength... Although it sounds a bit arrogant, I will try my best to complete it within two years."

As he spoke, Yuan Chen turned his gaze to Yuan and said calmly but firmly:

"Accumulate enough power to kill you."

Volume 1: 49. Filial Piety and Righteousness

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, a smile appeared on Yuan's face. He then nodded while drinking tea, clearly satisfied with Yuan Chen's determination.

But to the people standing nearby, it took on a completely different meaning.

"No! Wait a minute!"

A pair of beautiful eyes darted back and forth between Yuan Chen and Yuan Zhi, and Chun Li said with a face full of disbelief:

"What do you mean by killing Grandpa Yuan? Ah Chen, what are you talking about?! And what the hell is this, Grandpa Yuan, nodding here with satisfaction? You should give Ah Chen a good scolding!"

Although Tong Ang, Sagat, and the others on the side did not speak, it was clear from their expressions that they were also genuinely bewildered.

On the one hand, they knew that Yuan Chen was definitely not a heartless and immoral person. On the other hand, Yuan Chen's reaction was also somewhat suspicious. He not only did not get angry, furious, or refute them.

Judging from his expression, he even seemed a little satisfied and pleased!

Sensing the stench, he didn't hide anything, but simply pointed at Lao Yuan and said, "Lao Yuan has a terminal illness."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Chunli and the others were also taken aback.

Yuan Chen, however, calmly sipped his tea and said, "Late-stage leukemia, there is no cure."

"Huh?" The sudden message momentarily stunned Chun-Li and Colossus, and even Sagat, who was standing next to them, found it hard to believe.

It's worth noting that when Sagat met Yuan Chen, who had just woken up, Yuan displayed his imposing presence.

It's no exaggeration to say that even now, Sagat doesn't think he's a match for Gen... People like Hibiki Yoshi, Hibiki Dan, and even Chun-Li and Dō Ang might not even realize it.

Having briefly encountered the killing intent during the battle, Sagat was well aware of just how powerful and terrifying that force was.

Even long after the battle ended, Sagat was haunted by nightmares and murderous intent for a considerable period of time.

It wasn't until Yuan Chen woke up and they talked to each other, resolving his inner conflict, that Sagat decided to retrace his steps. Coupled with the recuperation he received at Yuan Hanting during this time, Sagat was finally able to shake off the murderous intent.

And what about Yuan?

In Sagat's perception, the murderous aura that was like a ferocious tiger, ready to devour both himself and his enemies at any moment, was like a docile house cat in Gen's hands.

Forget about being selective about who you eat from, they don't even give off a warm, dry feeling...

Yuan even voluntarily abandoned the so-called killing intent fluctuations. According to Yuan's own account, the reason for abandoning it was very simple—because he could not see any further progress in this power.

However, this power is relinquished because of this, yet it can be activated and utilized at any time.

This mastery of power alone far exceeds the limits that Sagat could comprehend.

And you're telling me that such a powerful being, whose strength is beyond measure, is terminally ill and doesn't have much time left?

What's going on?

This old guy doesn't look like he's about to die at all.

He's definitely the strongest person there!

Ingrid smiled without saying a word.

After hesitating for a long time, Chunli also looked at Yuan with questioning eyes, while Yuan nodded indifferently.

"Hmm, more or less, I probably don't have many years left to live... um, maybe three or four?"

The voice was calm; Yuan didn't seem to have much thought about the approaching death.

Upon suddenly hearing this news, the people present were momentarily stunned.

After a moment, Chun-Li said somewhat reluctantly, "Is there really... no way? Isn't medical technology very advanced now? Maybe in two years..."

"No way."

Yuan Chen shook his head: "I have tried or consulted all possible methods. At this level of illness, life energy can only play a slowing role... Don't forget that the old man himself is well-versed in pharmacology."
