Who are you calling a stable boy?!

Only one thing was shattered by this earth-shattering blow.

"Boom."

Having regained his original posture, the oblivious Chris knelt down and collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud.

"Hoo! Cool!"

With a triumphant air, Zheng Jing tossed his head and glanced at Chris on the ground.

He still had a breath left.

He picked up the stick—

Pick up Chris and throw the kid off the stage.

Yashiro and Shermie, who were struggling to walk after being beaten by Master Ryu, caught Chris in a panic from the left and right, and the three of them tumbled down from the ring.

"Chris? Chris?"

Shermie shook Chris's head and called his name twice.

Yashiro touched Chris's chest, then revealed a complicated expression.

He raised his head and looked at Zheng Jing on the arena.

"Brother, can we get a verdict now?"

Zheng Jing didn't even glance at them. He simply squatted down and called out to the big-nosed referee below the ring with a grin.

"The outcome is decided!"

When Zheng Jing asked him that question, the big-nosed referee also came to his senses.

He jumped onto the ring and raised the hand that Zheng Jing had extended.

"The victor is Zheng Jing!"

"Hehe! Everyone, I'll make a fool of myself!"

Putting away his golden cudgel, Zheng Jing clasped his six hands in a fist salute and circled around the arena with a grin on his face. It was as if one could hear cheers coming from all directions like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing down.

Master Long was the first to applaud.

Then, everyone saw Zheng Jing jumping, leaping, and doing somersaults on the stage, and that's when they realized what was happening.

Congratulations and cheers finally caught up with Zheng Jing's frantic pace.

Only then did he seem satisfied and leap down from the ring.

Everyone gathered around, and the first to come to Zheng Jing's side were naturally Xue Qing and Xiao Xiao Lin.

However, before they could even speak to Zheng Jing, Kyoko and Chizuru, who were eager to get started, followed behind them.

"Zheng Jing!"

With a shout, Kyoko opened her arms and was about to rush over to hug Zheng Jing.

At the critical moment, it was Xueqing who stepped forward!

It must be said that both Xueqing and Jingzi are indeed broad-minded people.

Once they touched face to face, Kyoko's hand could no longer reach Zheng Jing.

However, Kyoko was so excited that she didn't care. She jumped two steps while holding Xueqing. Luckily, Chizuru was quick and stopped her from really holding Xueqing and circling around Zheng Jing.

"I'm sorry, Master Zheng Jing, Kyoko is a little agitated."

Having said that, Chizuru, unable to contain her curiosity and excitement, immediately asked, "Excuse me, where is Orochi now?"

"It's been effectively shut down."

Zheng Jing scratched his cheek: "His true form is quite powerful; one blow wouldn't kill him. But after taking this blow, if this guy wants to cause trouble again by using the medium of spirit summoning, he'll probably have to recuperate for hundreds of years."

Upon hearing this, Chizuru visibly relaxed.

She never expected to be able to solve the problem of the giant snake once and for all.

The fact that the giant serpent could be resealed, and so successfully with almost no losses, was a result that far exceeded her expectations.

"Master, perhaps it's inappropriate to ask this at this time, but..."

After a sincere bow of thanks, Chizuru straightened up and looked at the Hell Band, who were huddled together, showing no intention of fleeing.

"What are your plans to do with them?"

If you were to ask Chizuru's opinion, it would be to simply kill them all.

If it were someone like Leona, that would be one thing, but in Chizuru's eyes, Yashiro and his group were no different from Goenitz back then.

But Zheng Jing didn't kill Chris outright with a single blow, which left Qianhe somewhat puzzled about Zheng Jing's thoughts.

If Zheng Jing truly wanted to spare these three lives, Qianhe felt that Zheng Jing had the right to be so willful, both morally and logically.

"Ok?"

Zheng Jing glanced at Seven Yashiro and the others, and immediately understood Chizuru's thoughts.

"Oh, don't misunderstand. I just feel that killing the three of them like this is a bit lacking. I, Old Zheng, am not an unreasonable person. If you think they are dangerous and that letting them go will cause endless trouble, then kill them. But I remember that the Eight Heroes are reincarnated, right? If you kill the three of them now, they will reappear in a few decades. If this continues, when will it end?"

Upon hearing this, Chizuru frowned.

Zheng Jing is right. She has killed three members of Yashiro. Perhaps in ten or twenty years, these three will just be reincarnated and reappear in the world, just like Goenitz.

At that time, she would have no way of predicting where the Four Heavenly Kings would be after their reincarnation, or what kind of human identity they would be lurking in society.

If we don't kill them, are we really going to let the tiger return to the mountains?

As Chizuru was feeling troubled by this, she suddenly noticed that Zheng Jing was always looking at her with a smile.

"Does the master perhaps have a brilliant plan?"

"I wouldn't dare call it a brilliant strategy; I'm just offering you a suggestion."

Zheng Jing pointed to the sky.

“Three people in one team, three wishes. I won’t say much about An’s personality. You and Kyoko each have one wish. Wouldn’t that be perfect for resolving Orochi and the Eight Orochi Generals?”

Qianhe's eyes lit up.

Yup!

The successful sealing of the giant serpent left her momentarily confused, and she had completely forgotten about it.

Yes, even if that person can't completely destroy Orochi, it would be great if they could further strengthen the seal against Orochi!

Furthermore, while Orochi might not be able to handle it, dealing with the Eight Heroes should be a piece of cake for that person!

Seeing Qianhe's beaming smile, Zheng Jing laughed even harder.

"I know you're happy, but don't be too happy yet. Whether this wish can be fulfilled for the three of you, hehe! It depends on whether you can get past my old Zheng's scrutiny!"

Qianhe blinked: "Master, you don't need to provoke us like this. Our opponent is you, how dare we be careless?"

"Exactly! I've been looking forward to getting to work with you, Zheng Jing, for ages!"

Kyoko tugged at her gloves, staring intently at Zheng Jing, her confident smile seemingly shining.

I really wish tomorrow would come sooner!

"Tomorrow? Then why wait until tomorrow?"

Zheng Jing grinned and pointed to the arena behind him with his thumb.

"I told you, there's no time like the present, let's do it now!"

With a leap, Zheng Jing jumped back to the center of the arena and glanced at the nunnery at the edge of the crowd.

Although this girl didn't come with Kyoko Chizuru, Anko had been keeping a close eye on him ever since he shattered the Orochi's spirit body.

With a light laugh, Zheng Jing waved to the three girls from the champion team.

"Don't be polite with me, Old Zheng. All three of you, come at me together!"

Chapter 245: Zheng Jing’s Measures

Zheng Jing was willing, and the voice was also happy to see a more interesting contest.

Kyoko and Chizuru also quite decisively chose to go side by side.

As for Anko, she said she had no intention of joining forces with Kyoko and Chizuru, and that she only took action because she couldn't stand Zheng Jing's arrogance. But when they actually fought, the three girls were completely in sync.

Anko tanks the damage, Chizuru provides crowd control, and Kyoko deals damage.

What a formidable trio!

Unfortunately, he was up against Zheng Jing.

It can't withstand the pressure, it can't be controlled, and it can't be broken.

In terms of mere sparring and skill competition, this match is unlikely to be anything special, so let's just leave it at that.

But the person on stage is Zheng Jing.

He genuinely wanted to witness the Three Divine Techniques that had once sealed away the Great Serpent.

Anzi was very willing to put his skills to Zheng Jing's.

Kyoko and Chizuru hesitated.

However, under Zheng Jing's urging, they eventually used it.

This successfully forced Zheng Jing to bring out his golden cudgel.

The first blow hit the flying hermitage.

The second blow knocked Kyoko unconscious.

The third baton—

It stopped in front of Chizuru, who had chosen to surrender.

Thus, the champion of the third World Martial Arts Tournament was born.

Team Tohsaka, participating in the tournament for the first time, swept aside all opposition and won the championship!

-

"Have you two thought it through?"

On the awards stage, Zheng Jing looked at Xue Qing and Lin and asked, "A legendary player's promise, are you really going to use it like this?"

"If something doesn't belong to me in the first place, then I'll use it if it can help the people here."

Xueqing shrugged.

"If I have the opportunity to participate again in the future, I will earn this opportunity through my own efforts."

Little Rin crossed her arms, raised her little head, and looked very serious.

With Tohsaka's team winning, the opportunity to make a wish upon that voice naturally belongs to Zheng Jing and his two companions.

However, both Xueqing and Lin decided to use this opportunity to help resolve the issues of Orochi and the Eight Orochi.

Zheng Jing didn't disagree with their decision...

Are you all ready?

Just then, the voice rang out again.

After exchanging glances with Xueqing and Xiaoxiaolin, Zheng Jing raised his head and shouted to the sky, "Alright!"

【it is good. 】

As the voice responded, a soft light descended from the sky, enveloping Zheng Jing and the others on the awards stage.

Xueqing and Lin felt a blur before their eyes, and when they looked again, the scenery around them had already changed.

They were no longer in the arena or fighting ring, but in a... library?

In a space filled with soft light, where there is neither sky nor earth, rows of bookshelves filled with books float quietly, stretching from one end of the field of vision to the other.

In this seemingly boundless world, there appears to be an infinite number of books.

Welcome!

Just as Xueqing and Lin were looking around in surprise, the voice rang out again.

However, this time it didn't appear directly in their minds, but seemed to come from all directions.
