Who are you calling a stable boy?!

Let's have a friendly competition.

During the exchange, each person shares some of their information.

For example, Xueqing's main combat class is Swordsman, while Lin's main combat class is Trainer.

The words of the knight-errant are fine; the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament does not prohibit contestants from using weapons.

In fact, even if a contestant actually brought a submachine gun to the ring, it would not be considered a violation.

After all, in the past two conferences, there have been quite a few contestants whose bodies have undergone mechanical modifications, or who are simply robots.

Not to mention submachine guns, even weapons like missiles and electromagnetic cannons were showcased at the conference.

Xue Qing was merely using Drew, a talking sword, so naturally it wouldn't be considered a violation.

Rin's situation is a bit special.

She was also unsure whether calling on her teammates to fight together would be considered a violation.

Therefore, Rin's idea is to treat her companions as a trump card, keeping them hidden until a crucial moment when she really can't win, then calling them out to fight alongside her.

If she is actually found guilty of a violation, then...

At worst, I'll be judged to have lost, and then I'll start believing in Zheng Jing's approach.

Therefore, Xueqing and Lin started this sparring match empty-handed.

Rin immediately suggested that Xueqing use a sword.

Because Rin is of a higher rank than Rin.

After completing a series of main quests in Halkkinia, Xueqing's overall level has now reached level 6.

Rin, on the other hand, has somehow encountered a fortuitous event and has already leveled up to level 7.

However, logically speaking, even if a swordsman who is skilled in swordsmanship loses his weapon, he will still have some unarmed skills to rely on.

But what can a trainer use to fight if they lose their baby?

That's the truth, that's definitely the case.

—Then Xueqing, who insisted on fighting empty-handed, only exchanged three blows with Lin before obediently calling a halt and taking out Drew from her backpack.

Zheng Jing: Trying not to laugh.jpg

"Wrong, wrong!"

With his hands raised high, Zheng Jing tried to force a smile that looked worse than a grimace as Xue Qing, whose head was pressed against his chest, kept hitting him.

"I didn't laugh, I really didn't laugh this time. Besides, you managed to suppress Xiao Xiao Lin, didn't you?"

"Can you laugh at the idea that a swordsman can overpower a trainer without a pet?"

"..."

"That's not how you laugh! And you're saying you didn't laugh!"

Xueqing pounded her fists even faster.

"Oh dear, I was so wrong, so wrong!"

Shrinking his head, Zheng Jing grimaced as if he had really been hurt: "Xiao Xiao Lin's situation is very special. In hand-to-hand combat, I estimate that most fighters or monks of her level would have a hard time being her match! Don't you think so, Xiao Xiao Lin?"

As he spoke, Zheng Jing winked at Lin.

"This... um."

Rin nodded.

She wasn't really sure either.

After learning this martial art by chance, Rin became the first player to spar with her.

However, Saber and Lancer, who had practiced with her, did indeed praise her talent and the wonder of her martial art.

Thinking about it this way, Rin felt she could agree with Zheng Jing's assessment.

"..."

She stopped hitting him, silently hugged Zheng Jing's waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and turned halfway to look at Lin.

"Xiao Lin, you are really amazing. I have fought against many people who are proud of their fists and palms, but compared to you, none of them are even worth fighting."

"Uh, thank you for the compliment."

With Zheng Jing praising her and Xue Qing praising her, Xiao Xiaolin blushed slightly and tilted her head up a little awkwardly: "Sister Xue Qing, you are also very strong. I have seen quite a few players in the past year or so. Those players of the [Melee] class, even those with higher levels than me, don't seem to be as good as you."

"is it?"

It sounds like they're asking Rin.

But when she said that, Xueqing was looking up at Zheng Jing.

Meeting Xue Qing's gaze, Zheng Jing smiled and winked at her.

"Really."

Muttering something, Xueqing also laughed.

"..."

Seeing this, Rin's little face twisted.

These two couple are so mushy, and they're my teammates! I'm so embarrassed now...

In short, this way, we've gained a better understanding of each other—

What about me? What about me?

Zheng Jing pointed to himself.

"You two haven't even had a chance to fight me yet, it's my turn!"

Rin rolled her eyes.

"Do you need to spar to understand me?"

"That's it!"

Releasing Zheng Jing, Xue Qing nodded earnestly, poking at Zheng Jing's chest and pointing.

"By the way, Rin, come practice with me some more."

She turned to Rin and suggested, "It's been a while since I've sparred with a martial artist. Consider it a chance to get back into shape."

"With such a huge demand, why didn't you tell me?"

Zheng Jing looked at Xue Qing with suspicion: "Is my boxing technique not powerful enough?"

"The numerical oddity is speechless."

Xueqing shook her head helplessly.

"What number? Did you see it clearly? You'll learn how to do it!"

"I need to be able to learn it too..."

-

In the end, Zheng Jing was pushed off the training field by the two children.

Actually, if you really want to know, he could try to give Xueqing and Lin some pointers.

As the saying goes, the staff is the ancestor of all weapons. Once you have mastered the staff technique to a certain level, you can not only use the eighteen kinds of weapons, but also use some unusual weapons by relying on the staff technique.

Xueqing's Xiushui Sword: Give Zheng Jing some time to read the entire sword manual and the accompanying internal energy cultivation method. With some thought, he might be able to come up with some useful new techniques for Xueqing.

As for Lin, the boxing style she uses now combines strength and gentleness, and is both upright and practical. If she were willing to learn Zheng Jing's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, her future would be promising!

However, none of this can be done in a short period of time.

At least Xueqing and Lin were unable to learn the new things Zheng Jing taught them before the conference began.

In this situation, instead of resorting to last-minute cramming, it would be better to let the two, one big and one small, learn from each other.

I don't seek to improve my strength, I just need to calm my mind.

After all, when facing a true martial arts master, last-minute techniques are basically useless.

"Sigh, everyone's busy. It's good to be busy..."

With his hands in his pockets and his neck hunched, Zheng Jing muttered to himself as he walked toward the deck, intending to enjoy the sea breeze, admire the pleasant moonlight, and then head back to the training ground.

At this point, only crew members on regular patrols should be passing by on the deck.

But when Zheng Jing arrived, the best spot for moon viewing at the bow of the boat had already been taken.

"Ok?"

Sensing something, Kagura Chizuru turned her head and met Zheng Jing's golden eyes.

The red-haired girl beside her kept gazing at the bright moon in the sky, showing no intention of turning around.

Chapter 219: The King of Fighters' Own Arrogant Ancestor (

The champion team, consisting of Chizuru Kagura, Kyoko Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami, was the first to board this luxury ship.

After that, when the Wave Team, consisting of Ryu, Ken, and Sakura, boarded the ship, she saw Ryu and his group at the training ground.

Apart from Sakura, both teams consisted of people who had participated in previous tournaments and were old acquaintances.

But unlike her and Kyoko, Anko has a very bad relationship with Takashi and Ken.

Especially Long, the moment Anzi saw him, she attacked him without saying a word.

Fortunately, she and Kyoko were both present at the time, and they managed to stop Anko in time.

Otherwise, the ship would most likely have sunk directly in Tokyo Bay.

As for why Anko and Takashi's relationship is so bad, we have to go back to the last conference...

After that, in order to prevent Anko from turning around and causing trouble for Takashi again, Chizuru stayed by Anko's side.

Kyoko, on the other hand, stayed at the training ground to spar and exchange ideas with Ryu and the others.

Therefore, she, like Kyoko who had been training, was unaware that there was a third team of competitors on the ship.

But given that she was just a contestant she had never seen before, even if Chizuru was curious, she would only take a second look at him at most.

Logically speaking, one should never stare directly at another like this—

Just like before, Jingzi was staring at Zheng Jing.

Chizuru's unusual behavior also caught Anko's attention.

She withdrew her gaze from Mochizuki, followed Chizuru's eyes, and turned around.

When she first saw Zheng Jing, she still had that nonchalant look on her face.

But then, as if sensing something was amiss, Anzi frowned and stared at Zheng Jing.

What did you do?

Zheng Jing, who had only wanted to find a place to fish for a while after seeing that the best spot was gone, stopped in his tracks and scratched his cheek when the two girls stared at him.

He felt like Jerry trying to walk behind Tom and Spike with cheese but getting caught.

But then I thought, I haven't pranked these two yet, so what's there to be guilty about?

Thinking of this, he straightened his back and spoke first with a righteous air.

"Gentlemen, is there something you need?"

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

Chizuru gave a polite smile.

"Are you a participant in this conference?"

"Yes, my name is Zheng Jing. How shall we address you both?"

When asked this question in return, Chizuru was a little surprised, but she still answered calmly.

"I am Chizuru Kagura, and this is my teammate, Iori Yagami."

"hiss......"

Zheng Jing gasped, then solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute.
