“Okay!” Mai Shiranui immediately said with a smile.
At the dojo entrance, I smiled at Mai Shiranui while carrying an ordinary black backpack and said, "Mai, I'm leaving soon. Aren't you going to say 'take care' to me?"
Mai Shiranui smiled and said to me, "Brother Tian, have a safe journey. Remember to come back every year and bring me lots of fun things!"
Oh dear, it turns out she wasn't concerned about me, but rather whether I would bring her something. After saying goodbye to Mai Shiranui, and then bidding farewell to my master and the others, I officially embarked on my path of cultivation.
After I left home, I decided on my first destination: the sacred site of Japanese karate, the number one karate dojo in Japan, the "Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo." Thinking about this, I glanced at the luggage and travel expenses my master had prepared for me. Upon seeing them, I was immediately filled with disbelief. I only had 5000 yen—not US dollars, not RMB, but Japanese yen. Even though I didn't know the current exchange rate, I still felt a wave of dizziness.
Seeing the exorbitant fare, I immediately abandoned my plan to take a ride. I found an empty alley, used my ability to manipulate the wind to fly into the sky, and followed the map to fly towards the "Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo".
After flying for several hours, the sky gradually darkened, and I couldn't help but stop. I kept flipping through the map in mid-air, and finally I could confirm that I had gone the wrong way. After getting this result, I couldn't help but curse my bad luck. I turned my head to look at the sun that was about to set, sighed slightly, and flew towards a village below.
Day N
After getting lost countless times, I finally arrived above the Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo. Looking at the magnificent dojo below, I immediately found a deserted spot to land. After stretching slightly, I quickly headed towards the gate of the Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo.
There were no guards at the entrance. Looking at the large characters "Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo Japan Headquarters" hanging above the gate, I couldn't help but sigh and say, "Finally here!" With that, I pushed open the gate and went inside.
"Ha...heh..."
The moment I pushed open the door, I heard the shouts of a group of people who were training hard. They stopped immediately after I opened the door, their movements perfectly synchronized.
After everyone noticed my travel-worn appearance, a young man walked up to me and asked, "Excuse me, are you here to learn karate from Kyokugenryu?"
After he finished speaking, I smiled and looked at him, saying, "No, I'm here to take on the challenge."
Although I didn't speak loudly, my voice carried throughout the entire dojo, causing a moment of silence. Clearly, my words had stunned them. After a short while, the entire dojo erupted in laughter. The young man who had spoken earlier exclaimed, "I think you should leave! You've come to the wrong place!"
Despite his persuasion, I not only didn't leave, but instead arrogantly shouted, "What, is there no one in the Extreme Flow who dares to accept my challenge?"
After a moment of silence, one of the more senior young men stepped forward and said, "A mere kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet dares to challenge our 'Extreme Flow'? It seems I have to teach you a lesson, or you'll never know how high the sky is!" He then glared at me angrily, as if he wanted to kill me on the spot.
I quickly glanced at the color of his belt and noticed that he was already a black belt. Although I didn't know what rank he was, I became slightly interested, so I made a gesture of invitation with one hand.
Seeing my reaction, the surrounding students immediately parted, leaving an open space. The young man with the black belt immediately assumed an attack stance and said to me, "Kid, what's your name?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Beat me and I'll tell you!" As I spoke, I assumed a fighting stance.
"Then don't regret not having a chance to speak! I, Ito Ichirin, am going to teach you a lesson!" Upon hearing this, the young man immediately shouted.
Just as we were about to start fighting, a middle-aged man and a boy of about 14 or 5 years old walked in through the main gate. When the people around saw them, they immediately formed several lines and bowed to them, saying, "Welcome back, Master!" Even Ito, who was about to fight, stood in the line.
Out of politeness, I stood to the side. The middle-aged man was wearing a white karate robe, with a resolute face and dignified eyes, exuding the aura of a strongman. The boy was wearing a red karate robe, with an equally resolute expression, as if nothing around him could arouse his interest. Needless to say, they were Takuma Sakazaki and his son Ryo Sakazaki.
After Sakazaki Takuma and Sakazaki Ryo sat down, they noticed my presence and asked the surrounding disciples what had happened. The disciples truthfully reported what had just occurred. After understanding the situation, Sakazaki Takuma smiled and waved his hand. The surrounding disciples immediately split into two groups and sat down cross-legged, leaving only me and the young man named Itō who had just said he would teach me a lesson. I knew he had agreed to my challenge, so I immediately got into position and prepared to fight.
At the very beginning, Ito rushed over and threw a punch at my head. Just as he was about to hit me, I slightly dodged to the side and punched him in the stomach instead. With a "thud," Ito's face immediately contorted in pain as he flew backward and crashed heavily to the floor. The spectators around were stunned. Although they didn't want to believe it, I had indeed won.
The expressions of Sakazaki Takuma and Sakazaki Ryo, who were watching the fight, were different. Sakazaki Takuma, who had been smiling before, became serious because he had noticed the technique in my punch. Seeing my performance, Sakazaki Ryo, who had been expressionless, did not change his expression, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit and excitement. He clenched his fist tightly, as if he wanted to rush down and fight immediately. However, Sakazaki Takuma pulled him back and waved his hand, signaling him with his eyes to continue watching. These were things that I did not see during the fight.
Then, after I struck seven people in a row in an instant, Takuma Sakazaki called out to his disciple who was about to come up. Ryo Sakazaki, who was next to him, immediately stood up, slowly walked to the opposite side of me, and bowed to me. I also bowed to him and said, "Dong Tian, 13 years old, Shiranui-ryu." Then I assumed a fighting stance.
Upon hearing my words, he assumed a fighting stance and said, "Ryo Sakazaki, 14 years old, Kyokugenryu."
Chapter 40: The Battle Ends and the First Encounter with Yuri
Inside the Kyokugenryu dojo, Ryo Sakazaki and I were facing each other. Just a moment ago, we had tested each other. Although neither of us used our true power, I could roughly guess from the test that Ryo Sakazaki was just a strong person who had just been able to use the Absolute Territory.
At that moment, Ryo Sakazaki rushed over. Even when he was still some distance away, he raised his hand and unleashed a powerful "Tiger Flame Fist," a surge of energy instantly striking me. I smiled slightly, channeling my energy into my arm and lightly sweeping it away, instantly neutralizing his force. But after I neutralized his powerful blow, Ryo Sakazaki was already in front of me, aiming a downward punch at me—the "Tiger Cannon." I immediately arched my back and jumped backward, dodging his attack once more. But he pressed his advantage, immediately unleashing dozens of kicks at me. Although Ryo Sakazaki's footwork was incredibly fast, my movements nearly caused the disciples watching from the sidelines to run into something and die. They saw me constantly shifting my body amidst Ryo Sakazaki's kicks, yet not a single one of his attacks landed. After this barrage of attacks, Ryo Sakazaki immediately jumped out of my attack range and then attacked again…
Our battle gradually intensified. Although Ryo Sakazaki's attacks couldn't reach me, I couldn't gain the upper hand using only the "Shiranui-ryu" style of martial arts. So, I stopped relying solely on "Shiranui-ryu" and gradually incorporated some Chinese Kung Fu techniques. Victory began to lean towards me. However, when Ryo took a "inch punch" from me, his momentum suddenly increased—it was the power of "Absolute Territory." Before I could react, he immediately unleashed "Dragon Tiger Dance." I felt his fists and feet frantically striking every inch of my body. I knew that I couldn't withstand his attacks in this state. I immediately activated a portion of my "Absolute Territory," and a powerful force instantly erupted from my body. I immediately gained an absolute power advantage. If we were to use the percentage-based power system from the manga, he now possessed about 8 units of Absolute Territory power, while I, even with only a portion, still had about 34 units. With my power several times greater than his, he was immediately thrown back by my force, spitting out a mouthful of blood before passing out.
Takuma Sakazaki, who was standing nearby, had witnessed the entire battle between me and Ryo. When I defeated Ryo in physical combat, he only felt admiration for my master. When Ryo used the power of 'Absolute Territory', he began to worry about my safety. However, when I used even stronger power than Ryo to repel his attack, he was only filled with shock.
Amidst the astonishment of the surrounding disciples, I approached Takuma Sakazaki, whose face was filled with surprise, and slowly said, "Master Sakazaki, please enlighten me!"
Takuma Sakazaki glanced at me, then suddenly laughed and said, "It seems you're destined to become a legend in the world of fighting. Fighting you might not be so bad, but don't you want to rest for a bit first?"
I immediately replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, but I didn't go all out in the previous battle, so I can still continue fighting."
Upon hearing my words, Takuma Sakazaki's expression of shock deepened. He looked at me and said, "In that case, please wait a moment." After saying that, he went to the side of the unconscious Ryo Sakazaki and began to treat him by massaging his uterus to improve blood circulation. Under his treatment, the unconscious Ryo quickly woke up. He seemed to want to continue, but Takuma Sakazaki placed his hands on his shoulders and said, "Ryo, watch carefully. This fighter who is even younger than you has the true strength."
After saying that, he came in front of me, assumed a fighting stance, and said, "We can begin."
I immediately bowed to him, assumed a fighting stance, and said, "Yes, please guide me."
A powerful aura erupted from me and Takuma Sakazaki in an instant. As our auras soared higher and higher, the surrounding disciples couldn't help but retreat. Only Ryo Sakazaki stood there with a furrowed brow. The floor beneath his feet had already shattered when he unleashed his 'Absolute Territory'.
As soon as the battle began, Takuma Sakazaki jumped into the air and landed like a falling meteorite. I immediately retreated and jumped into the air.
"Boom...!" A powerful explosion rang out instantly, and the spot where I had been standing was now a crater three meters in diameter and about a foot deep, which had been trampled by Takuma Sakazaki.
As soon as I jumped into the air, a ball of crimson flame instantly appeared from the toe of my right foot. Under the surprised gaze of Takuma Sakazaki, I whispered, "Dragon Flame Dance!" As soon as I finished speaking, I swept my right foot horizontally, and a long fire dragon attacked Takuma Sakazaki. The visual effect was truly first-class.
However, the long fire dragon was torn apart by a visible white cloud of energy the instant it approached Takuma Sakazaki, and after tearing apart the fire dragon, the white cloud of energy attacked him from mid-air...
I slowly woke up, inwardly cursing Takuma Sakazaki as a freak. He was no match for me in terms of either 'Absolute Territory' or technique, yet he possessed an abnormal level of endurance and mental strength. In the final moment, he unleashed a power beyond my imagination, knocking me unconscious with a fully charged "Haoh Shokoken" (Flying Throat Fist). However, Takuma Sakazaki paid a heavy price for this; a third of the dojo was destroyed.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw the face of a cute little girl, about 7 or 8 years old. As soon as she saw that I was awake, she called out, "Daddy, brother, that big brother is awake." Then I heard footsteps and the sound of the door being opened, and then I saw the Sakazaki father and son running in.
As soon as Takuma Sakazaki entered, he said to me, "I didn't expect you to be so amazing, kid. You're so young, yet you have such strength. I'm so sorry I couldn't stop in the end. Hahaha..." He then scratched the back of his head and laughed.
I immediately smiled and said, "It's alright, Master Sakazaki, but... could you... please grant me a small request?"
Upon hearing what I said, Takuma Sakazaki immediately patted his chest and said, "Whatever your request is... just say it."
I immediately said, "Please let me stay at Kyokugenryu for a while. Of course, I will work for you to pay for my accommodation, because I only have 5000 yen on me, and I..."
"Gurgle..." My stomach rumbled at the right moment, just as Momo was about to say what I was about to say. A huge bead of sweat immediately appeared on the foreheads of Takuma Sakazaki, Ryo Sakazaki, and Yuri Kosakazaki.
Ten minutes later…
Right now, I'm rapidly devouring the food in front of me at a speed that's invisible to the average person. Looking at the dozen or so empty plates stacked in front of me, Takuma Sakazaki and Ryo Sakazaki, who were watching me eat, immediately broke out in a sweat. Yuri, on the other hand, was watching me with bright, sparkling eyes.
After dinner, I took a hot shower in the bathroom at Kyodo-ryu, changed into the clothes I had brought, went out to the yard, sat under the eaves, looked at the stars, and stretched comfortably. Just then, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw it was Yuri. Since I lived some distance from her, I asked her, "Yuri, what are you doing here?"
When Yuri saw me, she immediately ran to my side happily, sat down next to me and said, "Yuri can't find her dad and brother. Yuri is very bored by herself and wants to ask them to tell me a story."
Sakazaki Yuri is only 7 years old now, still an innocent and carefree age. Seeing how pitiful she looked, I immediately said to her, "How about big brother tells you a story, Yuri?"
Little Yuri nodded happily immediately. Seeing her like that, I smiled and patted her little head, then said earnestly, "A long, long time ago..."
As time slowly passed, I had told countless stories, but Yuri was still as curious as ever. I began to understand why she couldn't find Takuma and Ryo Sakazaki; they were hiding from her. And so, I began my life in Kyokugenryu.
Chapter 41 Kusanagi-ryu Kenpo (Kung Fu)
The next morning, I was woken from my sleep by a chorus of shouts. Because of my martial arts training habits over the years, I've always gotten up early, so I immediately got up, washed up, and put on some casual clothes before heading out of my room for my usual morning exercise. But when I arrived at the training ground, following my memory, Ryo Sakazaki was leading a group of people running around the track, and the shouts I'd just heard were coming from them.
Seeing that they seemed to have only just started, I immediately joined them and ran alongside Ryo Sakazaki, who was running at the front. Because of what I had done yesterday, the disciples all recognized me. After a slight surprise, they continued running as before, only at a much faster pace. Finally, led by Ryo and me, everyone ran around the approximately 500-meter track at a speed close to that of a 100-meter sprint.
At first, I just smiled and ran alongside Liang at the same pace. We quickly finished ten laps. Apart from being a little short of breath, no one else showed any signs of distress. After another ten laps, our breathing became erratic and our speed started to drop noticeably, except for Liang and me.
While having breakfast with everyone, I began to understand why the Extreme Flow style is called "Extreme Flow". After running nearly 100 laps, we only rested for a few minutes before starting to do punching exercises. After doing 3000 punches, we did 3000 kicks, and then we started fighting training. Each of us found an opponent to spar with. Because of my presence, Liang chose me as his opponent.
After engaging in some extreme human activities, the morning training finally ended, and I finally had the chance to enjoy this rare breakfast! After breakfast, Liang and I lay on the grass of the playground and chatted.
"Liang... is it alright to call you that?"
"Mm!" Liang nodded slightly.
"Why do you always have such a long face? It's so boring. Wouldn't it be better if you smiled more like me?"
"Not interested!" Liang replied indifferently.
Hearing Liang say this, I immediately complained, "Oh, right... where did you and Uncle Zhuomo go last night? You know what? Your sister, Yuri, kept me talking about stories for hours. I've never told a story to anyone for so long before."
"Then you can only blame your bad luck!" Liang Yong said with a rare sarcasm.
"What do you mean I can only blame my bad luck? I think it was all planned by you and your son to make me the scapegoat. Otherwise, how would Yuri have found my bedroom?" I immediately complained loudly when I saw him like this.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Mother passed away too early, Yuri is too young, and Father and I are both martial arts fanatics. Apart from fighting and Kyokugenryu, we really don't know how to take care of my young sister. However, I have to thank you properly, because Yuri hasn't been as happy as she was last night in a long time."
"Oh, I'm truly honored to hear you say that."
"Actually, Yuri is very sensible. After her mother passed away, she never worried her father, who was obsessed with martial arts. Although she often asked my father and me to tell her stories, she also frequently learned Kyokugenryu fighting techniques from us..."
As time went by, Ryo Sakazaki and I talked for longer and longer, and Ryo gradually began to smile. That's how we became best friends who could talk about anything.
————————————————Time Divider—————————————————————————————
Time flies, and I've been in the Kyokugenryu for almost five months now. I train with Ryo every day and tell stories to Yuri every night. To kill the boredom of training and earn some money for my future travels, I decided to draw the manga "Naruto." With my amazing memory, I copied the original story exactly. I have to say it's a classic. Thanks to it, I've become a small millionaire and even started a trend of learning ninjutsu.
Today I'm going to say goodbye to Takuma Sakazaki, so after everyone had lunch, I said, "Thank you all for taking care of me these past few days. I think it's time to say goodbye."
Hearing what I said, Takuma Sakazaki and Ryo Sakazaki exchanged a glance and remained silent, while little Yuri tugged at my clothes and said, "Brother Tian, don't go, don't go! If you leave, no one will tell Yuri stories anymore."
Hearing what Yuri said, I immediately felt annoyed. It turned out she didn't want me to leave because she was afraid no one would read her stories. I could only smile and say, "Yuri, how about this? After Brother Tian leaves, he will send you some nice books. Besides, you're a big girl now, you don't need anyone to read you stories every day."
When I praised her as a 'big' child, little Yuri immediately asked happily, "Brother Tian, is Yuri really a big child? Is that really true?"
I immediately patted my chest with a serious expression and assured them, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you!" Actually, I was secretly chuckling to myself, "Isn't a big kid still a kid?"
Suddenly, Takuma Sakazaki and Ryo Sakazaki stood up, each grabbing one of my collars from behind and dragging me out until we reached the training dojo (which had been rebuilt). They then said to me, "You can leave now, but first you have to fight me."
"No, I've already bought my ticket!" I said hurriedly.
"We'll pay for your ticket!" the two said in unison.
"No, please..."
As a result, I ended up fighting with the Sakazaki father and son, which led to the dojo, which had just been restored, having to be renovated again. And I had to lie down and tell little Yuri stories for a few more days.
The scene shifts to Kusanagi Castle in Okinawa, Japan, a castle that rivals even the Meiji Shrine of the Japanese Emperor. Eleven-year-old Kyo Kusanagi, the young lord of Kusanagi Castle, is using the Kusanagi family's signature technique, "Orochi-ji," to knock down and burn a row of wooden training posts. As he smiles with delight, applause erupts from behind him. The clapper is none other than Kyo's father, Shizuru Kusanagi, the lord of Kusanagi Castle.
Kusanagi Shizuru patted Kusanagi Kyo's small shoulder and said, "Kyo, well done. You can already use 'Orochi-kiji' skillfully. You truly deserve to be called a genius of our Kusanagi family. However..." At this point, Kusanagi Shizuru suddenly unleashed a move called "Dark Flame" towards the roof of Kusanagi Castle. Just as the flame was about to hit the roof, a ball of crimson fire shot out from the top and canceled out Kusanagi Shizuru's "Dark Flame".
Seeing this effect, Kusanagi Shizuru was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who exactly are they, and what is their purpose in infiltrating our Kusanagi Castle?"
A voice came from the rooftop: "Are these the Kusanagi family's 'Kusanagi Flame' and 'Kusanagi Fist'?"
Upon hearing this voice, Kusanagi Shizuru paused for a moment, because the voice clearly indicated that his master was just a teenager.
A boy of about 14 or 5 years old stood on the rooftop, smiling as he looked at him and repeated, "Was that the Kusanagi family's 'Kusanagi Fist'? If so, it was too easy!" With that, the boy launched an attack using the same technique as before, 'Dark Flame Exorcism,' but Kusanagi Shizuru easily defeated the boy's attack with a single punch, saying, "Although I don't know who you are, the 'Kusanagi Fist' isn't easy to learn."
That boy was definitely me. After hearing Kusanagi Shizuru's words, I immediately jumped off the roof and said with a smile, "Hello, Lord Kusanagi. I am the successor of the 'Shiranui School.' Because I was born with the ability to freely manipulate flames, I am very interested in the Kusanagi family, who have also been able to freely manipulate flames since ancient times, and their world-famous 'Kusanagi Fist.' That's why I did this. Please forgive me for any offense." After saying that, I bowed.
Kusanagi Shizuru asked in surprise, "What? You said you can manipulate fire..."
Upon hearing his question, a ball of flame immediately appeared in my hand, and I nodded, saying, "Yes, that's right. That's why I became the successor of the 'Shiranui School'."
"Oh, I see. So that's why you want to learn our 'Kusanagi-ryu' style of martial arts?"
"Yes, please allow me to study here, although this request is very unreasonable, but..."
