My Anime Girlfriends

On the summit of a small mountain nestled among the mountains, Dong Tian gently placed Athena and Yuri Sakazaki, whom he had knocked unconscious using acupressure, beside the three women—Mai Shiranui, Mai Shiranui, and Yuri—who had been leaning against the rocks. He glanced back at the red light that flashed past behind him and smiled slightly: "That old man has finally arrived! Now we just need to see how Kyo performs." As he spoke, a white sheet suddenly appeared in his hand, which he unfolded with a smile and covered the women with it.

A flash of red light appeared and disappeared in a matter of seconds, reaching the mountain peak surrounded by the storm. The red light paused briefly, then with a shout, it intensified, transforming into a fire dragon that crashed into the tornado. "Boom!" Huge explosions resounded. The tornado, which had been raging, instantly transformed into an enraged dragon upon contact with the fire dragon, twisting wildly and struggling against it. However, the fire dragon's power was unexpectedly strong. After a brief struggle with the storm, it pierced through the tornado, entering its interior and transforming into a massive fireball. Upon entering the tornado, the fireball immediately burst forth with golden light, like a dazzling sun. Under this brilliant light, the black-glowing tornado was instantly shattered, vanishing as a wisp of wind. After the tornado disappeared, everything that had happened on the summit was revealed. It was clear that, apart from the storm, no one could stand on the entire summit.

Gazing at the fireball still floating in the sky, Storm's previously playful eyes flashed with unprecedented anger and hatred, as well as a hint of... seriousness. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Oh! So you've arrived! I didn't expect you to still be alive. That's great."

As the storm spoke, the fireball instantly extinguished, revealing a towering figure descending from the sky. He wore a black, well-fitting training uniform, had silver-white hair that didn't show his age, and flame-like battle markings like the sun. The newcomer was none other than Kusanagi Kyo's grandfather—Kusanagi Retsu.

Over twenty years ago, the "Heavenly Gods," after being sealed for hundreds of years, awoke from their slumber. Possessing near-invincible "dark power" and "divine immortality," they believed the world should be theirs to rule. Their first step in this global domination was to conquer Japan. Unfortunately, Japan had three families who possessed the "Three Sacred Treasures," a lineage that had lasted for over a thousand years. These families had become the "protective families" of the Japanese Emperor. Driven by a sense of duty, they mobilized their entire clans to fight against the "Heavenly Gods." Ultimately, the "Heavenly Gods," having not fully recovered their original power after centuries of sealing, were caught off guard and, under the strange power of the "Three Sacred Treasures," were resealed by Kusanagi Retsu using the "Super Orochi Pheasant." This seal has lasted for over twenty years.

Upon seeing the smiling Storm, a deep-seated disgust and hatred flashed in Kusanagi Retsu's eyes: "Storm, I will seal you away again and stop your slaughter."

Hearing Kusanagi Retsu say this, Storm didn't get angry but laughed instead: "Seal me... Hahaha... You think you can seal me?" The implication was that your three families were already 'dead in name only', so what right do you have to seal me?

"Not bad!" Kusanagi Retsu shouted confidently, and with a wave of his arm, he unleashed a 'Dark Flame' attack.

"Damn fire! Wind!" Storm felt an instinctive aversion to Kusanagi Retsu's flames and immediately summoned a pillar of wind to extinguish them. However, Kusanagi Retsu's 'Kusanagi Flame' was significantly weaker than Kusanagi Kyo's. Under the attack of the wind pillar, Kusanagi Retsu's 'Dark Flame' exploded with a "whoosh!" Part of it was extinguished unwillingly by the wind pillar, while the remaining embers rushed straight towards Storm's face.

"Damn it!" Although Storm extinguished the incoming flames with a light sweep of his right hand, he felt inferior in their first exchange, which enraged him, and his power began to rise continuously.

As the storm's power surged, Kusanagi Retsu's power rose in tandem. Thick clouds appeared in the sky, crackling with lightning and accompanied by thunderous roars. "Ultimate Power!" Suddenly, a golden beam of light burst forth from Kusanagi Retsu, piercing the clouds and shattering the clouds above, revealing a bright, sunny sky. However, this effect was short-lived. After Kusanagi Retsu unleashed his 'Ultimate Power,' the storm countered with his 'Dark Power.' A bolt of lightning, half a meter thick, descended from the thick clouds, striking towards the storm. But before the lightning could strike, a black-glowing gust of wind emerged from the storm, swirling around him and instantly forming a tornado that shattered the lightning. After the powerful tornado shattered the lightning, it did not disappear but instead shot straight into the sky. For a moment, a strange scene appeared in the sky: on one side, the sun was shining brightly, while on the other side, dark clouds covered the sky and a strong tornado was blowing.

As Storm and Kusanagi Retsu's power seemed to rise endlessly, everyone felt their breath catch in their throats. An immense, suffocating pressure was bearing down on them, shaking the earth. Their already heavily injured bodies felt incredibly heavy under this pressure. Gradually, Storm's power began to rise at a slower pace, showing signs of plateauing, indicating that this was the limit of his current strength. However, Kusanagi Retsu's power continued to increase relentlessly. The golden light surrounding him gradually merged with his flames, and the 'Sun Battle Mark' on his forehead emitted a scorching light as intense as the real sun.

Seeing this, a strange emotion welled up in Storm's heart, an emotion that, for an ordinary person, would be... tension. For a moment, a bead of sweat rolled down Storm's face. Just then, Kusanagi Retsu's power finally reached its peak, bursting forth beyond his limits.

"Shin-Ya-Nyo!" Storm's eyes widened instantly, and with a clear whistle, it vanished from its spot. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Kusanagi Retsu, its arms swinging out, transforming into countless claw shadows that grabbed at Kusanagi Retsu. At the same time, a golden light and crimson flames suddenly erupted from Kusanagi Retsu's body, a prelude to the activation of 'Super Orochi'. "Sizzling" sounds rang out continuously, and with each sizzle, another claw mark appeared on Kusanagi Retsu's body, which was surrounded by flames, while Storm's arm was also injured due to the recoil from its power.

Just as Kusanagi Retsu's power reached its peak, and his strongest attack, 'Super Orochi,' was about to be unleashed, the storm, whose arms had been repeatedly injured by the shockwaves, grabbed his head: "Ha... This was the same move twenty years ago, and it's still the same move twenty years later! I already knew the weakness of this move. Ha... Die!" As he spoke, the storm's power continued to blast into Kusanagi Retsu's body, and Kusanagi Retsu's blood began to gush out of his body.

Kusanagi Retsu gritted his teeth, his flames still burning, and spat out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Storm, you've seen through my weakness, but you've forgotten something else, which is..." As he spoke, the flames on Kusanagi Retsu's body instantly concentrated on his right arm. Sensing the flames concentrated on Kusanagi Retsu's right arm, Storm was immediately startled. Before he could even let go, he was heavily slammed into him by Kusanagi Retsu's 'Super Orochi'.

"...My power is a hundred times stronger than it was twenty years ago! 'Seal' me again!" Kusanagi Retsu shouted immediately after his successful attack.

After being hit by Kusanagi Retsu's 'Super Orochi', a strange scene began to appear on Storm's body. His body started to disintegrate, and the disintegrating parts condensed behind him into his likeness, like an energy body resembling a soul. As the 'soul' gradually separated from his body, a painful expression immediately appeared on Storm's face, his eyes filled with resentment. Because Storm's power at this time was not at its peak, he lost unjustly.

It turned out that over a year ago, during his fight with Dong Tian, ​​in order to defeat Dong Tian, ​​he had no choice but to expend a large amount of his blood, using the power of 'Orochi' to banish Dong Tian's soul to another dimension. The excessive blood loss weakened his strength to some extent. Although he had recuperated for over a year and his strength had returned to its peak, the awakening of Shermie two months ago filled him with immense joy. At Shermie's urging, knowing a great battle was imminent, he and Shermie joined forces to use the power of 'Orochi' to bring Dong Tian's soul back from the other dimension. Although it was a combined effort, it still weakened his strength to some extent.

"Ah...!" A roar filled with resentment came from Storm's mouth, but the sound did not last long. When the soul-like 'Storm' completely separated from Storm's body, the sound also stopped abruptly.

"..." Everyone looked at what was happening in front of them with expressions of surprise. What had just happened was too bizarre. Could it be that this was the seal on the 'Heavenly God Clan'?

As the storm was sealed, the dark clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed by the 'ultimate power' emanating from Kusanagi Retsu, emitting a dazzling light. When the light faded, Kusanagi Retsu gazed with a majestic look at the assembled powerful figures who had risen to their feet: "Gentlemen, this is the method for sealing the 'Heavenly God Clan.' Simply condense their power with an even stronger force and blast it out of your body. A body deprived of power will quickly stiffen as if dead. Even with the 'immortal body of the God Clan,' it will be nothing but a useless piece of trash. And I now present this profound secret to you all!"

“Grandpa…” Upon hearing Kusanagi Retsu’s words, Kusanagi Kyo immediately felt uneasy, and a very painful feeling welled up in his heart, as if some important relative was about to leave him.

"Crack..." A crisp cracking sound rang out, and countless cracks appeared on Kusanagi Retsu's face, shattering into countless small pieces that slowly flew away from his body. This was the consequence of Kusanagi Retsu exceeding the limits of his limits by using 'ultimate power', because neither 'ultimate power' nor 'dark power' should be powers that humans should possess, since humans do not have the 'immortality of the gods' of the 'Heavenly God Clan' and therefore cannot withstand these two extremely 'domineering' powers.

"Grandpa! No!" It is said that heroes do not easily shed tears, but that is only because they have not reached the point of grief. Seeing his beloved family member die before his eyes, Kyo Kusanagi could not help but shed tears and shouted.

Looking at Kyo Kusanagi running towards him, Retsu Kusanagi's face showed a resolute expression. He said calmly, "Kyo, don't be sad. This is the end that Grandpa deserves. My power was a gift from heaven, and now it will be taken back by heaven. This is destiny. Accept my ultimate technique!" As he spoke, countless rays of light surged from his body, shooting towards the group of powerful figures and merging into their bodies.

With a thud, Kyo Kusanagi knelt on the ground, crying and pleading, "Grandpa, please don't give up! Your strength is incredible, you'll be alright! Please don't!"

"Kyo, don't force yourself. It's all fate... Go! Learn the 'Ultimate Power' from Dong Tian!" Seeing Kyo's expression, Kusanagi Retsu felt a sense of relief and smiled slightly, his face, which had been half-covered in pain.

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

Dong Tian looked up at the sky, a hint of loneliness on his face, and said with a smile, "Old man Kusanagi, you really know how to cause me trouble! Well... never mind, have a safe journey."

Chapter 405 Instant Breakthrough

On the mountaintop where the King of Fighters tournament was held, a graceful figure slowly walked across the devastated peak, ravaged by the aftershocks of the battle. Since the storm was sealed here three days ago, no one had come here again. Apart from a large pile of ruins, there was no trace of any living creature. Who would have thought that just three days ago, this place housed a huge and advanced complex that could accommodate nearly 100,000 people?

Dressed in a striking red gown, Shermie moved gracefully to a pile of rubble made of massive stones. A captivating smile played on her lips as she spoke, "Here it is." She slowly raised her right hand, and without any visible movement, a bolt of lightning, a meter thick, struck down from the sky, shattering the massive stones in the rubble before her. The explosion was so powerful that countless tiny pebbles shot out like bullets. However, whenever a pebble reached Shermie, it was deflected two inches from her body by an invisible protective shield. This applied not only to the deadly pebbles but also to harmless dust.

As the dust settled, a tall figure was revealed amidst the shattered ruins—it was Storm... or more accurately, the body Storm had left behind after being sealed away. Although Storm was sealed, his body was not destroyed. Due to the 'undying god' characteristic, his body merely remained frozen in the posture and expression it had before being sealed, like a life-sized bronze statue.

Looking at the completely stiffened Storm before her, Shermie's eyes, hidden by her bangs, flashed with anger. She then placed her hand on Storm's chest, continuously channeling her power into his body, and said, "Brother Gonis, wake up! Don't sleep anymore, you're not sealed... aren't you?"

Storm wasn't sealed? Then why did he become frozen in place? It turns out that after Storm was defeated by Kusanagi Retsu, although some of his power condensed and was sealed outside his body, Kusanagi Retsu's power only represented the 'Yang' power of flame. Lacking the 'Yin' power of flame from the Yagami clan, even with Kusanagi Retsu's immense strength, he couldn't completely seal Storm. However, Storm wasn't willing to accept defeat at the hands of this human, Kusanagi Retsu. So, he seized the opportunity to enter a state similar to 'turtle breathing.' In this state, although his body was also frozen, he could quickly recover his power. Once the time was up, he could awaken from this state and regain his peak fighting strength.

With Shermie's continuous power, the stiff Storm began to slowly return to normal from its head. When the Storm's head returned to normal, it suddenly opened its eyes. After recognizing Shermie, it frowned slightly and said, "Shermie, you've come. Damn it, because of my negligence, this operation has failed. We must carefully plan the next offensive."

"Brother Gonis, do you need my help?" Shermie asked softly, maintaining her posture of transmitting energy.

“No need. You just need to take my body back to the ‘Gate of Heaven.’ There, I can recover my strength more quickly. Once my strength is restored, it will be the time for our ‘Heavenly God Clan’ to rule Japan. But before that, there is an important step we need you to take care of…” Storm shook his head slightly, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent and resentment. He had previously prevented Shermie from taking action because he looked down on Kyo Kusanagi and the others. Now, he was even less willing to let Shermie take action because he was unwilling to lose to a human like this.

"Something important? Could it be?" Seeing Storm's expression, Shermie was slightly taken aback and slowly said.

“Yes, I want you to gather all our fellow gods and awaken them.”

……………………Kyoto Shiranui-ryu Dojo

At this time, the Shiranui-ryu Dojo was a gathering place for masters. Ever since Kusanagi Retsu learned that he could learn the 'ultimate power' from Dong Tian, ​​all the strongmen who had ever crossed paths with Dong Tian came to the Shiranui-ryu Dojo in Kyoto. In a short time, all the strongmen who participated in KOF '96, except for the three seeded players and those who possessed the 'dark power' such as Mature, Vice, and Iori, all came to visit the Shiranui-ryu Dojo where Dong Tian was located.

Inside the hall, looking at the people sitting upright in front of him, Dong Tian felt the atmosphere was very oppressive. He couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself, then smiled and said to everyone, "Hmm... I understand how you all feel. After receiving instruction from Senior Kusanagi Retsu, you are all qualified to possess 'ultimate power'. However, there is a very important prerequisite for learning 'ultimate power', and I hope you all understand it."

Upon hearing that they could possess the power to fight against the 'Heavenly Gods', everyone excitedly asked, "What?"

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Dong Tian quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't get so excited. It's actually very simple. It's just about completely mastering the 'Absolute Domain'!"

Sitting next to Terry, Joe Higashi, a straightforward man, immediately asked in confusion, "Absolute Territory? Didn't we already have that?"

Seeing Dong Zhang's expression, Dong Tian shook his head slightly and said, "Dong Zhang, you are wrong. You only know how to use the 'Absolute Domain,' but you have not truly mastered it. Otherwise, there would be no distinction between strong and weak 'Absolute Domains.'"

"Then what can be called 'mastery'?" Kyo Kusanagi, who was the most eager among them to become stronger, asked directly.

Dong Tian pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I won't waste words. To fully master the 'Absolute Domain,' besides knowing how to use it, you also need to know how to maintain it for a long time, reaching a point where you can do whatever you want without being limited by the length of time. Among you, Jing and Liang have already reached this initial stage. Moreover, even if your 'Absolute Domain' reaches its peak, without a suitable opportunity, you still cannot master the 'Ultimate Power.'"

Upon hearing Dong Tian's words, everyone immediately turned their attention to Kyo Kusanagi and Ryo Sakazaki. The two were also taken aback, then asked, "What opportunity?"

Dong Tian shook his head helplessly and said, "This... I don't know either. Everyone's breakthrough method is different. However, I have a piece of advice: 'Ultimate Power' is too domineering. If you can't withstand it, don't try to break through."

Upon hearing Dong Tian's advice, Jin Jiapan immediately exclaimed, "How can that be? My unwavering belief in justice will not allow me to back down like this."

"Yes!" After Jin Jiapan finished speaking, the others immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing Kim Ga-pan's expression, Dong Tian could only say in a serious tone, "I'm not telling you to back down, I'm just giving you a heads-up. The domineering nature of 'ultimate power' is beyond your imagination. If you're not careful, at best your martial arts will be crippled, you'll be seriously injured and paralyzed, and at worst you'll end up like Senior Kusanagi Retsu."

Upon hearing Dong Tian mention Kusanagi Retsu, everyone immediately fell silent. They had all witnessed Kusanagi Retsu's fate, and their hearts couldn't help but feel worried. Just then, Dong Tian spoke again: "However, this problem has been solved. I will pass on the 'catalyst' to unlock 'ultimate power' to everyone. As for whether you can break through the 'absolute domain' and thus master 'ultimate power,' that depends on your own efforts." As he spoke, a golden light burst forth from Dong Tian's body. With a single wave of his hand, more than a dozen golden beams shot out from his hand, heading towards everyone and merging into their bodies.

The instant the golden light merged into everyone's bodies, they felt a surge of heat within them, a heat containing power no less than their own combined strength. Just as they were wondering what was happening, this heat suddenly exploded, transforming into an unprecedentedly powerful energy. Everyone felt their power rapidly and endlessly increase in a short period. With a deafening boom, they all instantly surpassed their limits, entering a higher realm—ultimate power.

Although everyone was overjoyed, they also understood that this was not their own power. If the powerful heat within them disappeared, they would return to their original state. Therefore, they hurriedly closed their eyes, calmed their minds, and entered a meditative state to comprehend this rare moment of breakthrough.

Seeing everyone meditating with their eyes closed, Dong Tian sighed helplessly, "Now the trouble should be resolved!" With that, he quietly walked out of the hall.

Chapter 406 Hot Springs

"Clang..." The sound of bamboo hitting stones echoed in the quiet Japanese-style gravel garden. Wisps of steam rose from the courtyard behind the Shiranui-ryu dojo. There were two hot spring baths that could accommodate nearly a hundred people, separated by several layers of wooden walls, one side for men and the other for women.

This enormous hot spring bath is a major feature of the Shiranui-ryu Dojo. Disciples, both male and female, come here to enjoy the pleasure of the hot spring after a day of training.

Actually, there wasn't a hot spring here originally. Just two months ago, it was just an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard. However, because someone wanted to celebrate their wedding, they spent about three days digging a pool here, changing the soil to rock, and then diverting a hot spring from the back mountain, which created the hot spring we see here.

Inside the men's bathroom, Dong Tian was leaning against the edge of the hot spring pool, looking completely relaxed. After wiping the water droplets off his face with a towel around his neck, he smiled and took a wooden tray containing a wine bottle and glasses from the edge of the pool, placed it in the hot spring, and began to pour himself a drink.

With a "whoosh," the sliding door to the men's bath was pulled open, and Kyo Kusanagi, Daimon, and Benimaru walked in. As soon as they entered, Benimaru Nikaido, with his long blond hair, said with a hint of surprise, "I never expected there to be a hot spring here. How come I didn't notice it when I came last time?"

While soaking in the hot spring, Dong Tian immediately put down his wine glass with a smile and said with a hint of pride, "That's because the last time you came was during my wedding ceremony." Then, he asked the three of them with a smile, "How much did you learn?"

Seeing Dong Tian's carefree demeanor, a flash of anger crossed Kusanagi Kyo's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. He then simply replied indifferently, "Not much," before walking to the hot spring, sitting down, and closing his eyes to soak in the water. Seeing Kusanagi Kyo's expression, Benimaru, who had been about to say something, hesitated to speak. She walked listlessly to Dong Tian's side and sat down, gazing at the wine cup in Dong Tian's hand with a hint of longing.

Seeing Benimaru's expression, Dong Tian simply smiled, took out a wine glass from somewhere, poured him a glass, and said, "This is a 200-year-old vintage wine. It was given to me by Chizuru when she came here before. I heard that she spent a lot of money to buy it from an auction in China."

Upon hearing Dong Tian's words, the exact same face as the Kagura sisters immediately appeared in Benimaru's mind. He immediately cast an ambiguous glance at Dong Tian. As a womanizer, he had a thorough understanding of women's thoughts and could clearly see that Kagura Chizuru was interested in Dong Tian.

With a whoosh, the sliding door was pulled open again, and Terry, Andy, Joe, Ryo Sakazaki, and Robert walked in one after another. The guys were all wearing only a bath towel, and their strong, muscular bodies with sharp, defined muscles, like perfect inverted triangles, were completely exposed. If any female fans of BL (Boys' Love) saw them like this, they would probably have nosebleeds!

Among the group, Dong Tian was closest to his junior brother Andy and Ryo Sakazaki, so upon seeing them enter, he immediately raised his glass with a smile and said, "Andy, Ryo, you're both ready! Come on, have a drink!" Seeing Dong Tian's demeanor, Andy and Ryo could only pretend not to hear and head straight down to the hot spring. There was nothing they could do; neither Andy nor Ryo could drink.

'Whoosh!' Another person came in. It was Jin Jiapan and his two good apprentices, Chen Kehan ​​and Cai Baojian. Behind them were Clark and Ralph, who were super mercenaries, as well as the steamed bun man, Shii Kensou.

"Haha... Brother Dong, you're here too!" Kensou seemed very happy and greeted Dong Tian with a smile as soon as he saw him.

Seeing Kensou's appearance, Dong Tian, ​​who knew him a little, immediately smiled and raised his glass again, saying, "Little Kensou, come here and have a drink with me. Anyway, your master isn't here."

Hearing Dong Tian's words, Chui Kensou couldn't help but lick his lips, his stomach rumbling with the urge to drink. What could he do? He was Chin Gentsai's apprentice, and his master was always drinking. It was impossible for an apprentice not to drink. Although Chui Kensou wasn't even 18 yet, he was already a little drunkard with a great fondness for fine wine. He had long wanted to try it after hearing Dong Tian mention a 200-year-old vintage. However, his master, Chin Gentsai, the old drunkard, never allowed his apprentice to drink casually, except on celebratory days or for other reasons. Chui Kensou suddenly jumped to Dong Tian's side, splashing water everywhere. Luckily, Dong Tian had already picked up the tray, otherwise, the wine in the jug would have been completely spilled. Chui Kensou chuckled foolishly, ignoring the angry stares of the crowd, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Dong Tian: "Brother Dong, I knew you were the best!" He then picked up a wine cup from the tray and brought it to his lips.

Just as Kensou brought the wine glass to his lips, Athena's melodious voice, as sweet as a silver bell, rang out from the other side of the tall wooden wall: "Kensou, your master said you can't drink."

Upon hearing this voice, Kensou froze, still in his drinking posture, his expression shifting between light and dark, as if he were undergoing a fierce internal struggle. After a while, he reluctantly put down his glass and looked at Dong Tian with a mournful expression: "Brother Dong, why didn't you tell me that the women's bathroom was right next door!"

Seeing Kensou's discomfiture, Dong Tian patted him on the shoulder and said in a comforting tone, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. We'll find another opportunity next time!" As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and, amidst the sound of Kensou swallowing, downed the wine in one gulp.

On the other side, Mai Shiranui, King, Yuri Sakazaki, Kasumi Todo, Athena, Chizuru Kagura, and Leona were also enjoying the hot spring. Athena, sitting on the edge of the hot spring, used a towel barely covering her body to shield herself, and complained with a hint of helplessness, "Seriously, Kensou, he has no self-control at all! He's only been away from his master and he's already thinking about drinking. Doesn't he know that 'wine and women' are a major taboo for martial artists?"

Upon hearing Athena's words, Kasumi Todo and Leona, who were soaking in the hot spring, immediately nodded in agreement: "Mm...!"

After nodding in agreement, Kasumi Todo immediately clenched her fist with one hand and said with an extremely serious expression, "My father said the same thing. Wine and women are the greatest taboos for fighters. If one becomes addicted to them, one's martial arts skills will not only fail to improve but will regress."

Seeing Kasumi's expression, Leona thought for a moment and said, "You're absolutely right. As a qualified soldier, one should stay away from these two things, otherwise it will affect our judgment. However, my superior is an exception." The implication was that Ralph, that drunkard, was an exception because he had to have a drink before each mission.

Athena immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes... My master said the same thing, but he can't help drinking because he practices Drunken Fist."

Hearing the three women's conversation, Mai Shiranui and King couldn't help but blush slightly. They subtly moved further away from the three women. The reason was simple: one of them was fond of alcohol, and the other was quite adept at enjoying the pleasures of love.

By the way, since this is a rare opportunity, let me briefly describe the figures of these women!

First up is Mai Shiranui. We've already done a lot of introductions (—don't say you haven't seen them!). While her figure might not be the best among the women present, it's definitely not the worst. Especially the curves from her collarbone to her lower abdomen—they're absolutely gorgeous, completely devoid of any excess fat. Soft and smooth like white porcelain, even without any lewd thoughts, you can't help but want to press your face against it. Submerged in the hot spring, her buttocks are firmly upturned, showing no sign of sagging—that's what you call a 'perky butt'! Add to that her 'abundant bosom,' which no normal man can ignore, and I'm sure you'd be aroused if you were there!

Next is King. Although she often wears a purple women's suit similar to a bartender's uniform, which doesn't perfectly showcase her figure, her physique is still the best among the women. In terms of figure, besides the exquisitely beautiful curve from her collarbone to her lower abdomen, completely devoid of any excess fat, her figure even slightly surpasses Mai Shiranui's. Combined with years of leg training, her taut, healthy beauty radiates dazzling light. The curves of her legs possess an indescribable tension, reminiscent of the streamlined beauty of wild animals. The smooth curve of her back exudes a charm only a mature woman possesses. As for her skin, as a fighter, she maintains it very well, without a single blemish. While not as smooth as Mai Shiranui's, it's still something many women would envy.

Next up is Leona. Having spent many years in the military, her figure is very similar to King's, possessing a dazzling, healthy beauty. Although she's not as slender as Mai Shiranui or King, it's still something countless women envy. As for her skin, while it has changed due to her long military service, her healthy tan adds a unique beauty to her.

Kagura Chizuru's figure was in no way inferior to King or Mai Shiranui; they were equally stunning. She possessed a perfectly proportioned figure, with a firm, pert bottom and a flawlessly flat stomach without an ounce of fat. She slowly murmured, "What a comfortable hot spring..." while barely covering herself with a damp, semi-transparent towel, gently splashing her feet in the water. Kagura Chizuru was the type who "looked very slender when dressed." Her limbs, always clad in that white, shrine maiden-like outfit, were unimaginably voluptuous, supple, and elegant. Her wide pelvis, flattened softly by the edge of the bath, had a wonderfully sensual shape. And, where it shouldn't be, it wasn't. If anyone saw her hair, damp with steam and clinging to her body, they would probably be moved to tears. And there's that texture, smooth yet firm, rising high beneath the thin towel, revealing glimpses of skin tinged red by the hot spring and the pristine, vital parts—just a tiny bit, barely visible.

As for Yuri Sakazaki, she was petite and delicate, with curves in all the right places. She could be described as... Now, she lay on her back in the water, her nipples like icebergs protruding above the surface. The slightly sticky, mineral-rich hot spring water flowed over her small, shapely body, radiating a beautiful sheen. She murmured in blissful ecstasy, "Mmm...so comfortable," as she turned over in the water, exposing her soft, elastic buttocks—so firm they seemed to sink right into them—to the surface. Unconsciously, she revealed her childlike side.

Next up is Kasumi Todo. Kasumi Todo, who just turned 15 this year, has a petite and delicate body. Because she is still developing, her body and buttocks are small. The slight bulge that still retains the immature mark of childhood has just reached an ideal balance point. Her sometimes eccentric remarks make her very cute. She belongs to the innocent and romantic type!

Next up is Athena, who is somewhat unique. She is almost transparent, with snow-white, dewy skin, possessing a slight advantage over Mai Shiranui. Her beautiful body, seemingly fragile enough to break in one's arms, and her slender, almost unreliable shoulders, make her look less like a fighter and more like a porcelain doll. Her petite body still retains a touch of childishness, but her womanly features are already quite well-developed, even considered large by some. Because she is seated on the edge of the bathtub, her adorable little body is exposed to the air. If you were beside her, you would see countless droplets of water condensing on her delicate skin, slowly flowing down her artistic curves.

The scene shifts to the other side, where Dong Tian watches Hong Wan, Chen Kehan, and Cai Baojian slowly move towards the wooden wall. The three men, their eyes gleaming with predatory intent, seem to remember something and immediately point to a scar on Andy's chest, saying with a smile, "Ah! Let me tell you something interesting! Do you know why Andy has this scar on his chest?"

Upon hearing Dong Tian's words, Andy's face immediately turned red, and she looked restless.

"Why?" Terry asked, puzzled, when he realized the matter involved Andy.

"Actually, it was a misunderstanding. About six years ago, Andy accidentally barged into Xiaowu's room, and Xiaowu was changing clothes at the time..." At this point, Dong Tian deliberately paused and looked at Andy with interest.

Seeing Dong Tian's look, Andy immediately retorted, "I didn't see anything. Wu only took off her outer garment!"

"Hahaha... What's next?" Terry didn't expect his younger brother to have such an embarrassing moment, and immediately burst into laughter, asking the question.
