King of Fighters, I became Mai Shiranui's lifelong enemy

Wu Ji said modestly, "No, no, no, how can I blame you? After all, you are Athena's master, and you are also considering her... Just now, Athena has been speaking for you."

"Besides, Athena has already 'treated' me."

He gave Athena a look that said "you know what I mean." Athena's heart trembled and she lowered her head.

"But I'm actually quite interested in that KOF tournament you mentioned. I've been hearing the name mentioned a lot lately."

"Can you tell me about this?"

Seeing Wu Ji's good attitude, Zhen Yuanzhai was very pleased that Athena had not chosen the wrong person.

But he still felt that he owed the young man, so he took the initiative to introduce him to someone.

KOF, which stands for THE KING OF FIGHTERS, has existed in this world for many years and is a fighting competition that attracts attention from all over the world.

Fighters fight 1v1 in the ring until the strongest one emerges.

The winner can receive a huge bonus, and the fighter is given the highest honor and attracts much attention.

This year's KOF competition is hosted by the well-known Lugal Group, and the competition format has been changed.

The duel will be between three people in a team, and the battle will end when all three members of one team are defeated.

“…I, old man, also received an invitation this year.”

Zhen Yuanzhai took out an invitation letter with a blood-red "R" mark printed on it and showed it to the three people present.

"I plan to take Kensou and Athena to see the world, fight against real masters, and hone their super powers."

"That's when Athena was called back to participate in the competition."

The Super Power Team, or the Chinese Team, should be the simplest team among all the teams in the King of Fighters history.

Zhenyuanzhai has always taken his disciples to competitions with the goal of honing their skills, and has not been obsessed with the so-called first place.

Wu Ji could also understand that this old man had been doing nothing but working without putting in any effort.

After all, the first thing you have to do is fight the boss, break the conspiracy, and save the world.

And there is a boss to fight in King of Fighters every year.

"That's right! I'm definitely going to be the King of Fighters this year! Hahaha...haha...ha..."

Kensho Shibata stood with his hands on his hips and laughed.

Finally, I don’t have to pretend to be a useless student in front of Wu Ji!

I am invincible as I can use martial arts and super powers openly!

Then he was intimidated by Athena's eyes, and his laughter gradually faded and finally died away.

Invincibility has always been a DEBUFF.

Wu Ji nodded in understanding, then said, "In that case, Master Zhen Yuanzhai, can you see if I can participate in this KOF tournament?"

"I've loved watching WWE since I was a kid, and participating in a KOF tournament would be my biggest wish in life."

When these words were spoken, the three of them were stunned at the same time.

"Uh, you, young man?"

"Teacher Wu Ji... there's a huge difference between WWE and KOF..."

"Huh? Are you sure? Just you? KOF?"

Zhen Yuanzai was confused, Athena was a little worried, and Shii Kenshou simply forgot about his wounds and wanted to mock him again.

"Haha, actually I've always thought I have some talent in fighting. I've always wanted to sign up for a Sanda training class to practice my punches and kicks, but unfortunately I never had the time."

Wu Ji let out a very amateurish fantasy, "I've already thought of my nickname. When the time comes, everyone will call me Wu Ji, which means the ultimate in martial arts. How about it? Pretty cool, isn't it?"

He played a pun.

"This one……"

Zhen Yuanzhai had a headache.

If this ordinary person, who fell down after being hit by his own wine gourd, really participated in a KOF competition, wouldn't he be knocked off the stage in an instant?

But I just promised Wu Ji that no matter what conditions he puts forward...it's hard to refuse, right?

He could only ask for help from his apprentice Athena to see if Athena could persuade him.

"Teacher Wu Ji, the KOF tournament is no joke. Everyone there is extremely vicious. One person can beat dozens of ordinary people. What if something happens to you..."

Athena looked at Wu Ji worriedly and persuaded him to give up this idea as soon as possible.

"Extremely vicious? But isn't Athena going to the ring too? I can't be inferior to a girl like Athena, right? How can a man say no?"

"I also want to stand with Athena and fight side by side..."

Looking at the two of them looking at each other lovingly,

Kensou Shii was unhappy and said the truth that others wanted to say but were not comfortable saying:

"Actually, you're just not as good as Athena! We could have won the championship, but with you as a burden... Ugh, even I can't do anything..."

"You're a wimp, but you still insist on showing off. Athena and I will have to take care of you!"

"What would you do if you accidentally got seriously injured or disabled?"

Although it was a bit aggressive, what Kenshou Shii said was indeed correct.

If Wu Ji hadn't known from the beginning that the purpose of Zhenyuanzhai was not to win the championship but to train his disciples,

If he didn't have his own strong strength as a trump card,

If he wasn't fighting the big boss to gain experience and restore strength.

If it weren't for a little selfishness.

He wouldn't be so heartless and unreasonable as to insist on going into the ring.

Isn't this just harming others?

But now... I'm sorry.

Coach, I want to play KOF.

"KOF requires three participants, and you only have two? If I don't go, who will?"

"Isn't the master still here?"

"So you're planning to let Master Zhenyuanzhai come on stage to fight? He's already so old, aren't you afraid that something might happen to him? Do you still have any filial piety?"

Moral kidnapping has always been effective.

"Think about it. If a nearly 80-year-old man from China walks onto the stage, bent over and coughing, and it's broadcast live worldwide, what will people think? How will your opponent dare to fight?"

"After all, I'm young and strong. Even if I get severely injured, I can recover after a while. But if something happens to the master,

"Can you bear the responsibility?"

The righteous and awe-inspiring words finally made the two disciples look ashamed.

That picture does not seem to be very pretty.

If the whole world saw that the Chinese team was played by an old man, they would really think that this country had no successors!

The master is old, and even though he is very strong, as the saying goes, the young and the strong are better.

It would be best if someone was willing to do it for him.

Then, Wu Ji changed the subject: "Besides, who says fighting must rely on fists? Do you believe that I can convince you with reason and make you a mortal opponent!"

“True strength is not just physical strength; the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage.”

Convincing others with reason? And calling them mortal enemies?

Kensou Shii almost laughed out loud.

This guy is too naive. What does he take fighting for granted?

"...Okay, in that case, Wu Ji, you will practice with me for the next few days. I will teach you some methods to fight against the enemy as an emergency measure."

"It shouldn't be a problem to deal with some unreliable fighters."

Finally, Zhenyuanzhai made the final decision.

Anyway, even if I were to go on stage, I wouldn’t compete seriously. I would mostly just play around with the mentality of testing the younger ones.

In this case, the effect would probably be similar if Wu Ji were to take the field.

Just admit defeat, the worst that can happen is a one-round exit.

Nowadays, the destructive power of fighters is not that strong. As long as the old guys he knows don't take the field, there shouldn't be any problem.

"When you get on the ring and meet a master, just admit defeat."

"But let me be clear, if you can't pass my test in the next few days, I won't let you onto the ring no matter what."

Teach this kid a few tricks, and then help him win a round of the King of Boxing Tournament. This should be able to make up for the mistakes I made, right?

Zhen Yuanzhai glanced at his empty waist - the wine gourd had been confiscated by Athena, who said he would not be allowed to drink for a month.

If I establish a good relationship with Wu, can he say a few good words for me?

Chapter 26: One Grab, Five Won't Do

In Wu Ji's eyes, the so-called cultivation in Zhenyuanzhai was nothing but a child's play.

It would be more accurate to say that disguising himself as an ordinary person actually made Wu Ji more tired.

But it's all worth it.

He gained Zhen Yuanzhai's trust and collected the information he wanted.

A few days later, Wu Ji completed his final training.

"Very good, very good. Wu Ji, you are indeed very talented in martial arts, especially in your reaction speed. You already have some of the style of a martial artist." Zhen Yuanzhai stroked his beard with great satisfaction.

Of course, short-term training cannot turn an ordinary person into a master.

But if it is to buy yourself some time to say "surrender", it is still fine.

I didn't expect this guy to win the award, just that he could save his life.

"Master taught me well." Wu Ji agreed with a smile.

This is different from Zhenyuanzhai, who is completely unaware of Wu Ji’s true strength.

After several days of observation, he has already figured out all the details of Zhenyuanzhai.

This old man has an extremely domineering power hidden in his body. If he exerts his full strength, it may reach the strength of his last awakening.

My body is strong enough now, but my power recovery is insufficient. I can probably only burst out the strength of when I was in my thirties.

Simply put, there is not enough MP to use big skills.

If I fight Zhen Yuanzhai head-on, I can still win. After all, my physical strength and vision skills are still there.

You can defeat the opponent through a protracted war, but you cannot win quickly.

As a result, Wu Ji's biggest concern disappeared.

The reason why he was so cautious and pretended to be an ordinary person to attack Athena was that he did not dare to reveal his strength.

He was just worried that this Zhenyuanzhai might suddenly erupt with something called the "power of the universe", which would grab him and refine him in an instant.

Ever since crossing into this world, he has been wondering whether the power system of this world is based on official settings or Hong Kong comics.

If it is official, then there is nothing much to say. The strongest ones are those gods, the embodiment of the will of the earth.

But if it is a Hong Kong comic, it would be too scary!

Even the power system of poisonous milk powder cannot compare to the nonsense-filled Hong Kong comics.

What absolute domain, dark power, ultimate power, power of the universe, power of a thousand years, power of recovery...all of them are the power to blow up the earth and run rampant in the universe.

It is a miracle among miracles that the earth did not explode.

One of Iori Yagami's eight wine cups can stop time all over the world, go back in time to resurrect Kyo Kusanagi, or give a glimpse into the myriad possibilities of parallel worlds.

Even Diao Ye can't stop time for so long, and he also has the ability to go back in time like Kira Yoshikage.

This is just Iori Yagami in the dark power state.
