Seeing me like this, Yuri hurriedly chased after me, saying as she ran, "Brother Tian, ​​you're such a liar! You left Yuri behind again!"

Perhaps because of what happened last night, Jing seemed exceptionally happy and chased after him with a smile.

As I entered the Chinese team's rest room, Athena was sitting on a stool, looking anxious, as if she was troubled by something. When she saw me come in, she immediately jumped into my arms happily and said with a smile, "Brother Tian, ​​you're here!"

Looking at Athena, whose expression had shifted from melancholy to joy, I immediately smiled and said, "Your match is about to start, how could I not come!" I patted her head and turned to Kensou, saying, "Good luck, Kensou! Don't lose to 'Team Japan'!"

Kensou immediately replied with great confidence, "Of course! How could I lose to them!" He had just finished speaking when he was kicked from behind by Chin Gentsai.

Chin Gentsai chuckled and said, "Little Chui! How have I taught you! You must always be humble, you know?" Then, looking at me, he added, "Little Tian! Whether you win or lose the match, you absolutely must have a big drink with this old man, understand?"

"Hmm...! I understand, Grandpa Zhenyuanzhai. Please don't keep repeating yourself. I'll definitely drink with you until we're satisfied!" I said with a smile, but in my heart I was thinking, "But I'm always a lightweight when it comes to one drink!"

We knew the match was about to begin, thanks to the announcement over the loudspeaker in the lounge. Chin Gentsai led the way with Kensou, while Athena, encouraged by me, followed behind them with a smile.

When we reached the stands for the athletes, the matches had already begun. Athena was the first to enter for the 'Chinese Team,' while Daimon was the first for the 'Japanese Team.' Because Kensou and Nona hadn't used any 'superpowers' in previous matches and had relied solely on their martial arts skills to reach the finals, many considered them weak (compared to the other teams that had made it to the finals). Therefore, the audience largely supported the more popular 'Japanese Team.'

On the stage, because he didn't know that Athena had 'superpowers', he rushed in front of Athena at the beginning of the match, grabbed her shoulders, and prepared to end the match with a throw. However, Athena, who was grabbed by him, smiled slightly at him and seemingly weakly struck his hands with her own.

Just when the onlookers thought the battle was over, Daimon showed a surprised expression, released his grip on Athena's shoulders, and abruptly retreated. Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Daimon simply stared at Athena for a long time without attacking. It turned out that after grabbing Athena, just as he was about to exert force, he suddenly felt that his hands were powerless. At that moment, Athena smiled slightly, and fearing a change in her expression, Daimon had no choice but to abandon his attack and retreat. After about ten seconds, Daimon, standing in place, bulged his muscles, roared, and charged at Athena again, like a tiger descending a mountain, immediately placing his hands tightly on Athena's shoulders.

"Uh...?" The door exclaimed in surprise again, because that feeling of powerlessness from before had returned. No matter how hard the door tried, that feeling of powerlessness wouldn't go away.

"Ah..." To everyone's astonishment, the towering gate was flung out by Athena's petite body.

The gate, rising from the ground, immediately unleashed the power of its absolute domain in fury. A powerful aura erupted from its body, and meridians appeared on its skin. To everyone's astonishment, it charged towards Athena once more.

"Bang...!" To the astonishment of Kyo Kusanagi and Benimaru, the gatekeeper's body tumbled out again.

After his attacks repeatedly missed, the gatekeeper couldn't help but release his 'Absolute Territory' state, staring at Athena in disbelief. Athena, in turn, looked at the gatekeeper with disappointment and said, "What?! This is so disappointing! The world judo champion's strength is only this much! Mr. Gatekeeper, I'm sorry!" With that, she rushed towards the gatekeeper and reached out to grab it with both hands.

Having lost confidence in his judo skills, Daimon, upon seeing the opponent actively grab him, fearfully withdrew his hands. Seeing this, the audience in the stands couldn't help but sigh.

And so, despite his inability to defeat Athena through jujitsu, the door was ultimately breached by Athena. Kensou, watching from below the stage, cheered with joy upon seeing Athena's victory. But just as he celebrated, Benimaru, his hair standing on end, leaped onto the ring with a laugh, signaling the start of the next match.

Chapter 66 Kyo Kusanagi's Challenge

Next up was Benimaru Nikaido. The naturally shrewd Benimaru, upon entering the arena, immediately adopted a defeated stance and looked at Athena, saying, "Although I hate disciplining girls... I'd rather not make all the women in the world who love me sad. Sorry, I'll have to make you cry!" As soon as he finished speaking, the female audience members below the stage screamed.

Hearing Benimaru say that, Athena's face immediately puffed up, and then she chuckled and said, "Hehe...you really are just like what Brother Tian said, extremely...narcissistic, although not very impressive!"

Upon hearing Athena's words, Benimaru nearly collapsed onto the stage, sweat beading on his forehead as he asked, "Who is it that dares to say such things about me!"

After Benimaru finished speaking, Athena smiled and pointed to where I was. Upon seeing me, Benimaru's momentum vanished, and he weakly said, "He certainly has the right to say that about me!" As he spoke, he dropped his flippant expression and adopted a serious fighting stance.

After my reminder, Athena knew that Benimaru's leg skills were more powerful, so she deliberately created distance at the beginning of the match. This left Benimaru, whose strength was not much stronger than Athena, helpless for a while. However, Athena was ultimately a girl and was not as physically strong as Benimaru. Even though she used the power of Absolute Territory, she still lost to Benimaru by a slight disadvantage.

After Athena stepped off the stage, Benimaru couldn't help but grumble to himself, "She's just a little girl with a terrible figure, how can she be so strong? And she seems to know me well, creating distance right from the start. I didn't even show my true strength in the previous matches! Could it be him?!" Thinking this, he looked up in my direction and saw me smiling and comforting Athena. This made Benimaru's heart ignite a spark!

The third round began, and Chin Gentsai staggered onto the stage. He looked like he could fall at any moment, but he was actually using the mysterious "Drunken Immortal Steps" footwork.

As Chin Gentsai walked onto the stage, the gatekeeper below immediately shouted, "Benimaru, don't be careless!"

Hearing the gatekeeper shout, Benimaru immediately replied, "I understand." At the same time, he thought to himself, "I haven't seen this old man fight in the previous matches. Is he just there to make up the numbers? Judging from his appearance, he looks like he could collapse at any moment, so he shouldn't be very strong, but..."

As Benimaru was speculating about Chin Gentsai's strength, Chin Gentsai smiled and said, "Young man, you should listen to your friend's advice! Although you defeated Xiaoya, but..." He then picked up the gourd at his waist and began to drink.

Benimaru, who was already annoyed, immediately exploded, shouting angrily, "Drinking? Drinking during the competition?"

As he finished speaking, Chin Gentsai let out a burp and continued, "...He's really no match for me!"

Benimaru immediately shouted angrily, "Old man, don't look down on people!!" With that, he raised his right hand, which was surrounded by lightning, and charged towards Chin Gentsai.

Watching the charging Red Maru, Chin Gentsai said softly, "Young man, you're really impulsive... Roaring Flame Cannon." As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and a huge pillar of fire spewed out from his mouth.

Enraged, Benimaru was immediately engulfed in flames and collapsed onto the arena with a scream.

Upon seeing Chin Gentsai's moves, Yuri immediately smiled and said, "Brother Tian, ​​look... that move looks just like your Dragon Flame Dance!"

Mai Shiranui immediately said, "Please, look carefully... it just suddenly sprayed out, okay!"

Next came the fourth round, and Kyo Kusanagi entered the ring. He looked at Chin Gentsai and said, "Senior, I'm sorry, but I have a reason to win. I've always wanted to fight him again." As he spoke, he glanced at me on the ring.

After finishing speaking in Kyo, Chin Gentsai sipped the wine from his gourd and said with a smile, "Young man, you are very polite, not bad... not bad, but if you want to fight Xiaotian, you'll have to get past me first!" As he spoke, a pillar of fire shot from his mouth toward Kusanagi Kyo, who was standing on the arena.

Kyo Kusanagi, who was stunned by the fire, did not let out a scream. He simply raised his left hand, which was surrounded by flames, and with a powerful swing, a flame even more powerful than the "Raging Flame Cannon" shot out from his hand. It was the ultimate move of "Kusanagi Fist," "Orochi-Chika." The flames of "Orochi-Chika" immediately neutralized the flames of the "Raging Flame Cannon" and engulfed the surprised Chin Gentsai in the flames.

Looking at Chin Gentsai engulfed in flames, Kyo Kusanagi said calmly, "Sorry, senpai! I'm better at manipulating flames!"

After he finished speaking, Chin Gentsai suddenly shook off the flames on his body, touched his singed hair and said, "This is terrible, my beard was almost burned off. You must be the young master of the Kusanagi family that Xiaotian mentioned! As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. Your ability to manipulate flames is so strong that you didn't even hurt me. This old man has lost!" As he spoke, he took out his gourd and walked off the stage while making a sound.

After Chin Gentsai stepped off the ring, Kensou immediately shouted at Kyo Kusanagi, "Since you defeated my master, I will carry on his legacy... and defeat you... Ouch!" Before he could finish speaking, Chin Gentsai hit him hard on the head.

Chin Gentsai looked at the boy who was clutching his head and said, "You brat, what do you mean by 'my last will'? Am I already dead?"

Kensou hurriedly apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, Master! I didn't mean to!"

Seeing Kensou's state, Chin Gentsai smiled and said, "Alright, let's get on the ring!"

Kensou immediately replied happily, "Yes, Master!" and rushed onto the ring with an excited expression.

After Kensou charged into the ring, Chin Gentsai gently nudged Athena with his hand and said, "Athena, we should get ready to go back! Kensou can't win!"

Upon hearing Chin Gentsai's words, Athena immediately said, "Eh... but... but didn't you say Kensou is our 'ace in the hole'? That as long as Kensou is willing to fight, we have a chance of winning..."

"Oh, I was just saying that randomly!"

"Huh... Master... Master... How could you do this...?"

Chin Gentsai immediately laughed and said, "Hehehe... Kensou loves this kind of thing, so I flattered him a bit to get him to give it his all. But Kyo Kusanagi is stronger than I thought, so Kensou is no match for him at all!"

After Chin Gentsai finished speaking, Athena immediately turned her gaze to the arena and saw that although Kensou was launching a series of fierce attacks, all of his attacks were blocked by Kyo Kusanagi. It seemed that the outcome was only a matter of time.

With Kyo Kusanagi's "Orochi-kiji" strike, the match officially ended, and "Team Japan" emerged victorious. As the referee announced the win, Kyo Kusanagi suddenly snatched the microphone from the referee's hand, pointed at the audience with a broad smile, and said, "Dong Tian, ​​did you hear that? I'm challenging you here! I hope to fight you in the end! I will definitely defeat you!" With that, he handed the microphone back to the referee and walked off the stage with a flourish, leaving me sitting in the crowd with a very troubled expression.

KOF ends in Chapter 67

Because of a comment by Kyo Kusanagi, I've become famous. My previous low profile has led people to believe that I'm hiding my true abilities, and now it's difficult for me to even go out. I'm really troubled by this.

For the next few days, although we didn't have any matches, we could only stay quietly in our rooms. Meanwhile, the 'Japanese Team' advanced to the finals with their overwhelming strength, so a match between us was inevitable. Kyo and the others asked me why, so I had to tell them the reason why Kyo Kusanagi challenged me. The reason was simple: Kyo Kusanagi had always been called a genius by his father, but when he was 12, my appearance shattered his confidence. I was a much stronger 'genius' than him; I had mastered the 'Kusanagi Fist,' a style the Kusanagi family was so proud of, in less than six months and even created my own moves. All of this made him feel inferior to me, so he wanted to defeat me to prove his strength. However, he had never had the chance, and now this was his only opportunity to fight. Therefore, he challenged me in the ring to prevent me from escaping this battle.

On the day of the finals, we flew to the competition venue in a military combat helicopter. After boarding the plane, Jing asked me in confusion, "Why aren't I riding in a regular helicopter but in this combat helicopter?"

"Yeah! I was hoping to see the view outside! Now there's not even a window, we can't see anything at all," Yuri complained from the side.

I immediately laughed and said, "The organizers probably don't want others to know his exact location!"

The helicopter finally landed, but once we got off, we found ourselves on a vast ocean, standing right on the Nuga aircraft carrier. We were then led to a ring by staff. Sensing something was wrong, Mai immediately asked, "Hey, isn't the match only for three people...?" But before she could finish her question, the staff had already walked away, leaving Mai standing there full of questions. Soon, the 'Japanese team' was led onto the ring by staff. When Kyo Kusanagi saw me standing there, he immediately exclaimed happily, "Long time no see, Brother Dong Tian! It's so great that you could come!"

I immediately smiled and said, "Long time no see! Xiao Jing."

Kyo Kusanagi immediately retorted angrily, "Don't call me that! I'm 18 years old!"

As we spoke, all the staff withdrew, and then the arena we were in was surrounded by an electric fence. Seeing the flickering electricity, everyone immediately frowned. At that moment, the figure of Nuga slowly appeared on the huge screen that had been used for the broadcast. He spoke, "You are the teams that have entered the finals! Fight! Only the victors will survive and be worthy of becoming my collection! Hahaha…!"

Looking at the now-off screen and the electric grid flashing around me, I smiled and asked, "In this situation, who among you has a solution?"

Hearing my question, Jing and the others frowned, because even if they could use techniques that could 'externalize' their 'ki', they couldn't possibly break through this electric grid formed by lightning.

At this moment, Benimaru struck a pose with a smile and said, "In this situation, of course it's up to me, Lord Benimaru Nikaido, to handle it!" After saying that, he went to the electric grid and instantly unleashed the power of his 'Absolute Territory,' shouting, "Lightning Fist!" In the clash of electricity, the generator of the electric grid was successfully destroyed.

The moment the electric grid opened, I used Instant Step to dash out, with everyone following closely behind, leaving only Benimaru standing there dumbfounded, striking a pose to show off.

As I ran down the long corridor, I sensed Mature's presence. I immediately said to Kyo and the others, "Kyo, Mai, Yuri, I have to leave for a bit!" After saying that, I turned into another corridor.

I rushed down the long corridor and soon reached the end, where Nuga's secretary, Mai Zhuo, was standing with a big smile on her face. Upon seeing me, she immediately smiled and said, "Long time no see, my little one!"

After she finished speaking, I smiled slightly and said, "Well, it's been a long time. You'd better hurry up and leave, or you'll be in trouble later. You'd better be careful."

Hearing me say that, Mai Zhuo walked up to me, cupped my chin in her hand, and said with a smile, "Are you worried about me? I'm so happy! But...!" As she spoke, her free right hand slashed out a blade of light towards me. I immediately took a step back, and after dodging her blade, I laughed and said, "What, you're attacking me so quickly?" Then we started fighting, and in the narrow corridor, Mai Zhuo's attacks left me with countless wounds.

Time passed by unnoticed. Suddenly, a violent tremor came, followed by a series of explosions. Upon hearing the explosions, Mai Zhuo immediately laughed and said, "It seems my boss has lost. Then I have no reason to continue fighting with you..." As she spoke, she walked up to me, put her arms around my neck, and gently kissed me, saying, "You'd better leave now! Otherwise, you'll die here!" She then pointed to the fire that was about to spread across the other side of the corridor.

I smiled slightly and said, "What about you? Aren't I leaving?"

Hearing me say that, Mai Zhuo revealed a charming smile and said, "Have you forgotten who I am?"

After she finished speaking, I smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true. Well then... I'll be going now!" Without waiting for her to object, I picked her up and disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the aircraft carrier billowing black smoke and emitting bursts of explosions on the sea, Mai Shiranui and Yuri, who were standing on the yacht covered in wounds, cried out with worry, "Oh no, Brother Tian is still up there, I have to go find him..." and were about to jump into the sea.

Jing, who was standing to the side, hurriedly hugged the two of them and said, "Wu, Yuri, calm down. Dong Tian's kung fu is so good, he will be fine. He will definitely be safe and sound!" As she spoke, she looked in the direction of the aircraft carrier with a worried expression.

Kyoya Kusanagi nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Dong will definitely be alright!"

At that moment, Benimaru pointed to a black dot on the sea and said, "What's that? Is there someone on the sea?"

After Benimaru finished speaking, Kyo, Mai, and Yuri immediately ran over and looked in the direction Benimaru was pointing. Yuri immediately asked, "Is that Brother Ten?"

Hongwan immediately shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's too far away to see clearly!"

Having consumed the Foundation Building Pill to transform her body, Mai Shiranui immediately shouted joyfully, "It's...it's Brother Tian, ​​there's no mistake!"

"There seems to be someone in his arms!"

"Still a woman..."

"My God, he's running on the sea..."

After I jumped onto the yacht with Mature in my arms, everyone immediately ran to me. The three girls even wanted to throw themselves into my arms and cry, after all, the enemy they had faced was truly terrifying. But when they saw that I was holding Mature in my arms, they immediately stopped.

Kyo Kusanagi looked at Mature in my arms with some surprise and asked, "Isn't she Nuga's secretary? How come you're with her?"

I immediately laughed and said, "Hehe... what a coincidence!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Mai Zhuo immediately chimed in, "That's right, it was a complete coincidence that I was with him, it was a coincidence that he saved me, and even this moment is a coincidence!" As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a passionate kiss in front of everyone, and it was a French kiss.

After the kiss ended, Mai Zhuo looked at the stunned Chong Ren and smiled at me, saying, "I'm leaving now, my little one!" As she spoke, she waved to a helicopter that had somehow appeared in the sky.

Looking at Mai Zhuo waving at me from the rope ladder, I couldn't help but give a wry smile, because there were three people with powerful 'firepower' standing behind me.

However, this KOF tournament has officially ended, and there was no champion!

Chapter 68 The Clash Between 'Darkness' and 'Ultimate'

Since the incident on the aircraft carrier ended successfully, although we didn't win the prize money, I managed to steal a large amount of gold and jewels when I escaped from the Nuga aircraft carrier. However, Kyo took all of it from me, calling it "paying off a debt." Yuri and Mai insisted on celebrating, so they held a party and invited members of the Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Mexican teams. Thus, a celebration party featuring almost all of the world's strongest fighters began.

"Liang, our battle is not over yet, so... let's settle this once and for all!" Terry the Hungry Wolf said, raising his glass with great momentum.

"Bring it on! The word 'defeat' doesn't exist in the dictionary of 'Kyokugenryu'!" Ryo Sakazaki declared confidently. Then, the two simultaneously downed their large mugs of beer. Terry was perfectly fine, but Ryo collapsed onto the floor. Robert, who had been cheering him on, suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I remember... Ryo doesn't seem to drink!"

And I was drinking with Chin Gentsai, taking turns drinking! It's not that I don't drink alcohol! That's because before I drink, I use my control over flames to instantly burn off all the alcohol in the liquor, and I only drink the remaining water. Because it's baijiu and I did it quite secretly, it wasn't discovered. No, only one person discovered it, and that was Kusanagi Kyo, who can also manipulate flames.
