"That Sakakibara Ikuko is going too far. This morning, she not only occupied the gymnasium, but also injured the basketball club president who wanted to seek justice."

"If this continues, the entire academy will descend into chaos, senior brother..."

"Did you see her make a move?" the boy in the training room asked calmly.

"No, it was Uesugi Mitsuru who played in place of Ikuko."

"Manhe? I didn't expect her to have fallen so low, actually disregarding the dignity of a warrior and obeying that Yuko's orders."

"That's right, who can argue with that!"

The people outside the training room immediately became excited. "Senior brother, if you don't step in to set things right, those mysterious cultists will be standing on our heads!"

"I understand, Ikuko Sakakibara. We can't let her continue to run rampant."

"Senior brother, you, you mean..."

"Please send a challenge to Ikuko Sakakibara for me. See you at the gym next Friday."

"Yes!"

Inside the tennis club, several eye-catching girls were complaining: "President, you've heard about what happened this morning, haven't you?"

“We were practicing properly, but then Sakakibara Ikuko suddenly wanted to book the whole place and kicked everyone out.”

"President, we can't go on like this, or the tennis club won't even have a place to practice in the future."

"President, please think of a solution."

The boy, surrounded by several girls, looked helpless. He advised, "Yu Zi is a genius on the mystical side who has already awakened. She's one of us."

"If we, the mystical faction, were to fight amongst ourselves, wouldn't that make Eiji a laughingstock?"

Seeing that their club president seemed unwilling to stand up for them, the girls immediately became unhappy.

"President, they're bullying us!"

“We treat her like one of our own, but Sakakibara Ikuko doesn’t appreciate it at all.”

"Guangyan, please help us."

Under the combined pressure and persuasion of several girls, Kitami Hirohiko clearly began to waver.

"Well, I'll talk to Yuko another day and tell her to be careful not to interfere with the tennis club's normal activities in the future."

"President, you can't be so easy to talk to."

"It's a disgrace to the King of Pop's reputation."

"I think that someone like Yu Zi won't listen to reason unless he's taught a good lesson."

“Well, Yuko is a girl, it’s not good for her to start by shouting and fighting.” Kitami Hiroto quickly shook his head.

"President, how could you do this!"

A girl looked disappointed. Guangyan's usual gentleness and care for girls made her heart flutter, but today she didn't think that way anymore.

"Guangyan, you're too indecisive!"

“Yuko is the enemy, the enemy! We can’t be soft-hearted just because she’s a girl.”

"President, can't you show everyone your heroic side?"

"Ahem, I know, I understand."

Faced with the girls' barrage of questions, Guangyan was overwhelmed.

“I will talk to Yuko. If she doesn’t show any remorse, I will definitely teach her a lesson.”

A girl frowned, clearly unsatisfied with Guangyan's words, but the girl next to her quietly tugged at her hand.

"..."

The girl quickly realized what she was saying and swallowed her words.

What kind of person is Sakakibara Ikuko? Will she ever reflect on her actions? Absolutely not.

Since the two were bound to break up, why should she waste her breath?

"President, the sisters are all relying on you."

"Yes, I will definitely give everyone an explanation," Kitami Hiroto said, patting his chest.

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

"That guy Eiji Tomiyama wants to duel me on Friday?" Yuko sat in her chair, swinging her legs, looking completely nonchalant.

"Don't you, as a junior, have any respect for your seniors?" the boy in the white training uniform roared angrily.

"And what do you mean 'that guy'? Sakakibara Ikuko, you should call your senior brother 'Hakugan Tenno'!"

"Hahahaha, Rockbreaker King? Does he deserve that title?"

"Even the leader of the Poyanliu school wouldn't dare use that title, wouldn't they be afraid of hurting their back in the wind?"

Yu Zi glanced at him sideways: "You just called him senior brother?"

"And then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Zi suddenly jumped up from her chair.

"Accept!"

To everyone's surprise, Yu Zi was so unreasonable that the boy was caught off guard and received a heavy punch to the face.

With a 'bang', his not-so-tall body was knocked out of the clubhouse.

Amidst dizziness and tinnitus, the boy felt himself being lifted up.

"Since I have nothing else to do, I don't need to wait until next Friday. I'll go see him now."

"Master, your senior brother will not let you get away with this."

"Hey, with a useless junior brother like you, I guess Eiji Toyama isn't much of a character."

Section 178, Chapter 177, Senior Brother

The door to the training room was kicked open, and Toyama Eiji opened his eyes abruptly to see his junior brother being carried in by one hand.

"Ikuko Sakakihara?"

"That's right, it's me."

Sakakibara Ikuko surveyed the layout of the training room, realizing that it was indeed a place for the successors of a martial arts school.

It's not that it's particularly magnificent, but looking at this room gives Yuko a sense of peace.

This sense of tranquility is exactly what martial arts practitioners need when meditating.

"Not bad, not bad. Judging from the layout of this room, your school of martial arts has some depth."

"Put down my junior brother." Tomiyama Eiji's tone was unfriendly.

"Of course, no problem. However, this guy was so arrogant in front of me. I can't just pretend nothing happened because of one sentence."

Yuko calmly stood in front of the person, forcing Eiji to stand still and not dare to make a move.

"Senior brother, don't worry about it, uh..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yuko grabbed the meat shield by the throat.

"Don't you think this method is despicable?"

I don't think so.

Eiji Tomiyama's face was ashen. He glanced at his junior brother and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sakakibara Ikuko, remember this: I'm not done with you yet... Speak! What are your conditions!"

"Haha, let's talk this out."

Yu Zi loosened her grip. "I've always been quite curious about you martial artists. How can you strengthen yourselves to such an extent without awakening?"

"If you don't have a certain level of physical fitness, forcing those profound techniques into use will only lead to your death."

"The depth and essence of our school is beyond the comprehension of a mere young girl like you."

Eiji Tomiyama scoffed, "Even an ordinary person, if the school deems it worthwhile, can use secret medicine to enhance their physical abilities to the point where they can unleash profound techniques."

"I'm afraid it's not just the secret medicine you're talking about."

Sakakibara Ikuko said with a smile, "I've heard that you martial artists have a distinction between internal and external skills."

"External training focuses on muscles, bones, and skin, while internal training focuses on breath control. I'll leave the muscles, bones, and skin aside; I'm very interested in the breath control."

Eiji Tomiyama's expression vanished completely, and he shifted his gaze away from his junior brother.

Who told you these words?

“Manhe, she’s also a member of your school. We’re such good friends, she couldn’t possibly be hiding this from me.”

Yu Zi shook the hostage in her hand: "Teach me the internal martial arts you practice in the Poyanliu style. You should have the secret manuals and such, right?"

Eiji Tomiyama remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"Your junior brother is in my hands. I don't always know my own strength when I'm fighting. If I accidentally cripple him, how will you, as his senior brother, explain it to the sect?"

"If you can't even protect your own junior brother, how will you inherit the Rock-Breaking Style?"

"Hey, why aren't you saying a word? Could it be that your Broken Rock Flow level is too low and you don't even have the method of internal cultivation?"

Yuko sensed something was amiss. Tomiyama Eiji had initially been quite concerned about his junior brother, but as soon as she mentioned the exchange terms, he didn't even bother to look at the hostage in her hands.

"Not Manhe"

"Huh?" Yu Zi didn't expect him to utter such a sentence after holding it in for so long.

“Manhe is also a member of the sect. I don’t know how good your relationship is, but she would never tell you, who is from the mystical side, about something like this.”

Eiji Tomiyama paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Is it Dean Augustus?"

"...Oh, you actually guessed it? How did you guess it?"

Yuko had no intention of covering for Augustus. Anyway, he hadn't asked her to keep it a secret, so she just said it. It wasn't a big deal... right?

"Augus, a powerful figure in the mystical realm, has always wanted to combine mysticism with ancient martial arts and forge his own path."
