Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

The former is '牟', which aims to end the battle instantly in the cleanest and most efficient way. The latter is '歧', which seeks out weaknesses through skillful dodging and parrying, and is literally about branching and variation.

As for these two...

Meeting Chunli's surprised gaze, Yuan Chen said in a deep voice:

"I trained under the elder for three years, mostly focusing on familiarizing myself with life energy and building a solid foundation. As for martial arts..."

The elder said that grief had led me into a dead end, forbidding me from becoming an apprentice, but allowing me to learn on my own. And possessing my unparalleled wisdom, I naturally learned to become what you see—the way that belongs to me!

After a brief moment of contemplation, Yuan Chen said, "Rather than calling it a mourning—would it be more accurate to call it my own style of mourning?"

"You're quite optimistic..."

Even as she said this, Chun-Li's gaze toward Yuan-Chen became even more curious.

After all, the fact that Yuan guided Yuan Chen to build a foundation and master life energy, and allowed Yuan Chen to observe and learn the parts of mourning that he could grasp on his own, already proved that Yuan valued and trusted Yuan Chen.

It should be noted that some martial artists in the new era are very open-minded about sectarianism, and even perform for others to watch in order to cultivate their martial arts spirit.

However, for someone as experienced in martial arts as Yuan... especially one specializing in assassination techniques, allowing him to learn it already reveals a great deal.

While Chunli was still thinking, Yuan Chen, after a brief silence, asked:

"Speaking of which, Sister Chunli, what are you doing back in Hong Kong? I heard it's related to something called 'Shadow Luo'?"

Although he asked the question casually, Yuan Chen was actually on edge.

Even though Yuan Chen wasn't very familiar with the storylines of most fighting games, he was no stranger to Shadow Luo Evil Empire, the most influential villainous organization in the history of fighting games that spanned the entire Street Fighter series.

This group first appeared in Street Fighter II, and its leader was named 'Vega'.

However, when the film was released in the Americas, the name of one of his American boxers, Bison, was very similar to that of the popular boxer Tyson at the time. In addition, the American distributor felt that Vega's name was not imposing enough, so Vega changed his name with one of his four top boxers, Bison, and debuted in the Americas as M. Bison.

Because of his appearance as a burly white man wearing a military uniform and using mental powers and military fighting techniques, he is also given nicknames such as policeman, urban management officer, electric police, and auxiliary police.

It's worth mentioning that there are many unofficial histories about Street Fighter, especially those concerning Vega.

The main reason is that Vega's unofficial history is not ordinary history, but rather "extraordinary history" in the literal sense.

In 1993, Wong Jing directed a movie called "Super School Overlord". Although he did not obtain authorization from Capcom, the character settings in the movie used a lot of Street Fighter settings.

The villainous boss uses the nickname "General" that players in Hong Kong and Taiwan use for Vega.

If Vega in this story is at least the final boss, then Hong Kong comics are different.

In order to expand the influence of the Street Fighter series, Capcom licensed the Street Fighter comic book rights to Jade Dynasty Group.

In terms of plot, the video game industry at the time basically left the storylines of fighting games to their own devices, without any official restrictions. Naturally, Hong Kong comic book authors also followed the most familiar old path - war and chaos.

Thus, in the storyline, Vega was captured and taken to a secret room where no one could find him, where he was repeatedly humiliated by the Hunter God, and finally had his scrotum crushed, causing him to turn white overnight in extreme pain...

Logically speaking, it's normal for someone to go gray overnight from such pain.

In addition, Akuma sensed an opportunity to advance to a higher realm from Ken, so he hugged Ken from behind and used the powerful super move, Oni-gura: Ichishin Senki.

The word is correct, it's the "gay" in "gay guy".

Truly, the wailing and howling of ghosts and gods was heard in an instant.

In order to contrast with Ryu, Ken also awakened the 'Overlord Intent' corresponding to his killing intent, learned the 'Rising Dragon Overlord Fist' through ruthlessness, and after comprehending 'Tolerance', he mastered the ultimate technique 'Extreme Overlord'...

Hong Kong comics are still too authoritative when it comes to eccentric and gay themes.

However, based on Yuan Chen's experience living in this world for so long, although it is a mixed world view of fighting games and anime, it should not have any Hong Kong comic elements.

To be honest, this really relieved Yuan Chen... Even for someone like him who possesses unparalleled domineering power, the idea of ​​instantly gaining thousands of points is still too far-fetched.

Fortunately, I don't have to face these things.

In the main Street Fighter series...

If I remember correctly, Yuan Chen's uncle, Tong Ang, was kidnapped by the Shadow Luo organization while investigating Shadow Luo and was brutally killed during the siege of the December troops.

Upon arriving in this world, he experienced Yuan's guidance, Chun-Li's trust in him, and Tong-Ang's unspoken but affectionate treatment of him like that of a son or nephew...

Yuan Chen would never allow such a thing to happen.

Just as Yuan Chen was still thinking, Chun Li, who was standing next to him, asked curiously, "Why are you asking this? Is there some clue?"

"...I'm alright."

Upon hearing Chunli's words, Yuan Chen nodded and said, "When I'm shopping, I've heard some strange rumors, but I'm not sure about them."

Upon hearing this, realizing that Yuan Chen might know some information about Ying Luo, Chun Li perked up and immediately said:

"Go find your father with me first, and we'll talk to him face to face!"

"it is good."

Yuan Chen nodded.

Volume 1: Chapter 7 - News of Shadow Luo

While Yuan Chen was still playing around with Chun Li in the hospital building, Tong Ang also came to the pavilion with Yuan.

Without the young man around, the two old friends relaxed considerably. They leisurely brewed a pot of tea, and Yuan said calmly:

"You've aged quite a bit. It seems you haven't been doing very well these past few years."

"Who says otherwise?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Ang also sighed, a deep weariness showing between his brows.

This is a state that Tong Ang almost never shows in front of others.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, including Chun-Li, Tong Ang will always be that middle-aged strong man with a slicked-back hairstyle, a tuft of beard like Zhou Shuren under his nose, a resolute face, sharp features, a strong physique, and both his spirit and body at the peak of his life.

But what is the reality?

"Aside from Chun-Li's studies, I spent most of my time undercover in the Shadow Organization."

Taking out a cigarette, Tong Ang said with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Although I was ultimately betrayed and exposed, to be honest, I still feel a sense of relief... The life of an undercover agent is simply not a life fit for a human being. If I had a choice, I would..."

At this point, Tong Ang's voice suddenly stopped.

Meanwhile, Yuan's face also revealed a cynical smile:

"What? What do you want? How do you want to choose?"

"...I will still make the same choice."

Hearing his old friend's teasing, Tong Ang sighed helplessly, then said with a complicated expression:

"What else can I do? You don't know what kind of person I am... If I turn a blind eye to this criminal organization just because I know how painful it is to be an undercover agent, then what is the point of all my spiritual practice in this life?"

Or... why would you have such a legendary story about me, when I was just a beat cop?

As he said this, a wry smile appeared on Tong Ang's face.

Back when he was a local police officer in Hong Kong, Tong Ang volunteered to take on the role of a police officer, a role that his colleagues avoided like the plague.

As a result, he was often tricked and manipulated by Yuan.

After discovering that Yuan was not a ruthless killer and the cruel inequalities of the world, Tong Ang realized his naivety.

Yuan was willing to befriend Tong Ang because he discovered Tong Ang's inner passion for justice. Gradually, the two became close friends despite their age difference.

"You're still that same Tong Ang." Looking at Tong Ang's helpless yet unwilling-to-give-up expression, Yuan chuckled shamelessly, then asked bluntly:

"You returned to Hong Kong this time because of that organization called Shadow Luo?"

"Hmm." Tong Ang nodded and said:

"According to our informant, the Shadow Legion branch in Hong Kong has suddenly become unusually active, and even Sagat, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has been mobilized for this purpose."

"Sagat?" Upon hearing Tong Ang's explanation, Yuan stroked his chin, then shook his head and said:

"Never heard of him before, is he a young man?"

"Yes, he is known as the King of Muay Thai, but a few years ago his students were causing trouble, and when he stood up for them, he was defeated by a young man who practiced Hadou-ryu karate."

After disappearing for a while, he suddenly reappeared in Shadow Kingdom and became one of the Four Heavenly Kings, no one knows how.

Tong Ang shrugged and said:

"I guess it's the leader of Shadow Luo, that guy named Vega, who promised something... How about it, can you help me out?"

Although Yuan Sheng claimed to have retired from the life of fighting, Tong Ang did not believe that this old man, who had spent his life pursuing death battles, would choose to peacefully enter the night known as the night of death.

Or perhaps, Tong Ang knew very well that Yuan's desired end was to die in battle, not to die of illness in his bed.

"I'm really quitting."

Yuan shrugged helplessly and said:

"You know, because of Chun-Li's incident... I've lost the will and determination to kill everyone indiscriminately in battle. Just like a fish that has forgotten how to swim, I've lost my talent for killing."

Those of us in this line of work, without this unique ability, are like tigers without their sharp teeth and claws—we're only scary to look at.

"I rarely get involved in the affairs of the underworld anymore. Apart from occasionally meeting with a few old friends, I only hear about other things in general. I don't know as much as you do... well, maybe even less than you, young policeman."

Yuan Wuna shrugged helplessly.

Tong Ang also knew what Yuan meant by 'the Chun-Li incident'.

When Tong Ang went on a business trip, Chun Li was entrusted to Yuan's care.

As a result, an assassin came to cause trouble for Yuan, and Yuan instinctively executed the assassin. Only after the assassin died did he realize that he had done such a thing in front of Chun-Li, who was only seven or eight years old at the time.

Although it was only a moment of regret, the fact that a killer would feel remorse for killing someone was enough for Yuan to realize that he had lost the most important thing for a killer.

Hearing Yuan's words, Tong Ang nodded, and then, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders, said:

"Although I didn't get any useful information, I'm content to see you enjoying your retirement so leisurely... Ah, I really hope we can chat and laugh like this next time we meet."

Sensing Tong Ang's relief at retiring from the assassin world, Yuan smiled and said:

“You are my friend, and I treat Chunli like my granddaughter. If you encounter any danger or problem, I will definitely help you.”

"Then it's best not to." Upon hearing this, Tong Ang also laughed:

"Especially, don't encounter any dangerous situations... Although my initial wish didn't come true, I'm still glad to see you no longer have to do things that disregard the law."

Just as the two were chatting idly, suddenly, the door next to them was hurriedly pushed open by Chunli and Yuanchen.

Looking at Yuan Chen and Chun Li, who had rushed over and were standing shoulder to shoulder, Tong Ang said with surprise:

"You woke up so quickly? Are you alright?"

"News about Yingluo."

Hearing her father's concern, Chunli ignored it and quickly said:

"Yuan Chen knows about Ying Luo."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing Chun-Li's words, Tong Ang was slightly taken aback. He then looked at Yuan Chen and was surprised to see Yuan Chen nod.

Yuan, standing to the side, rubbed his temples helplessly: "I finally managed to get rid of this chore, but I didn't expect you to take it on again..."

Upon hearing Yuan's words, Yuan Chen replied, "My ambition for dominance, my aspirations for virtue... I need to witness a wider world!"

“Sigh…” Yuan seemed somewhat helpless upon hearing Yuan Chen’s words of wisdom, but they had already lived together for three years and were somewhat used to it.

Seeing this, Tong Ang asked, "Where did you hear this from?"

“Kowloon Avenue,” Yuan Chen said. “When I was buying ingredients, I overheard a gang member named Xia Erdu mentioning it.”

As he spoke, Yuan Chen also put on a thoughtful expression and said, "Although I didn't pay much attention at the time, I did see these kinds of tattoos on them."

As he spoke, Yuan Chen dipped his finger in the tea and drew a winged skull symbol.

Upon seeing this symbol, Tong Ang was overjoyed.

"That's right, this is Shadow Luo's symbol! What else do you know?!"

Terracotta Army.

Yuan Chen replied.
