Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 138 Visitors
"I knew it..."

Tianma, hoping for a sigh, helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Even if a strange old man like Doppo Yuchi knew the inside story of that "big event," he most likely wouldn't reveal it voluntarily.

He just wanted to see the surprised expressions on other people's faces when they found out the truth!
Ever since——

Even though Shiraki Chengxiao appealed to his emotions, reasoned with him, and tempted him with benefits, promising to treat Yuji Dubu to barbecue at "Huangniuyuan" afterward, Yuji Dubu never revealed a single detail again.

When asked, the answer is always, "I don't know!"
Bai Mucheng had no choice but to stop for the time being, but he wasn't angry and felt it didn't matter.

After all, as Yuji Doppo said, if Shiraki Sei couldn't beat Kou Momiji, then no matter how interesting or significant the events in the fighting world were, it wouldn't concern Shiraki Sei.

"Great, fantastic!"

Shiraki Cheng grinned and turned to invite Goji Doppo to have lunch with him.

"Huh~~~?"

Yuji Dubu felt a pang of regret. "Didn't you just say you were treating us to barbecue?"

Shiraki Cheng mimicked Goji Doppo's previous expression, his eyes darting around with a playful smile, provoking Goji Doppo.

"Uncle Dudu, thanks to your suspense, delicious barbecue is no longer your concern!"

Yudi Dubu: "..."

Foolish Doppo: "What~ thing~?!"

……

……

Arisa is at school today, so she won't be at the martial arts gym at noon.

Maruk kept his promise and acted as Aya's bodyguard, constantly patrolling the area around the school to prevent any accidents from happening.

Although the security guards at the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy called the police because of this, the misunderstanding was cleared up after Iori Kazuka's explanation.

Because Maruk had a great physique and good looks, and a cute, childlike personality, he was very popular with high school girls and gradually made more friends.

……

……

It's still early before lunchtime.

Yuji Doppo was in high spirits and was also craving barbecue because he hadn't had any. So he discussed it with Shiraki Sei, and the two hit it off immediately.

They contacted a famous old-fashioned pastry shop and asked them to deliver a large batch of pastries of all kinds, which they enjoyed to their heart's content in the open courtyard.

Long said—

Fighters expend a great deal of physical energy, which is probably why many of them have a strong craving for sweets.
Shiraki Sei prefers lighter flavors, while Guji Doppo is more traditional, favoring dishes like daifuku and yokan.

At home, his wife Xia Hui always kept an eye on him, not letting him eat too many unhealthy sweets. Now he could finally eat to his heart's content at the Shiraki family's martial arts gym.

"..."

By the time the picnic mat was laid out, Li Youba and Wu Fengshui's training had also ended.

The two practiced striking with boxing pads, switching sides several times. They were both panting heavily, having worked up a good sweat, and felt refreshed.

Thank you for your guidance!

"Thank you for your hard work!"

After packing up their equipment and wiping their sweat with towels, the two turned around and saw the visitor, Doppo Guji.

Li Youba stepped forward to greet him, "Yo! Good morning, bald, stubble-faced uncle!"

Yudi Dubu: "..."

Yudi Dubu: "?"

He rubbed his bald head, looking helpless. "I'm bald! And I've already shaved off all my stubble. I'm a man who still pays attention to personal hygiene."

"..."

Li Youba and Wu Fengshui borrowed the bathroom to take a shower.

Yuji Doppo sat cross-legged on the ground, eating yokan (sweet bean jelly), and turned to ask Pegasus Hope.

"Speaking of which, Hope, your underground fighting group seems to have been targeted by the Metropolitan Police Department. Was it 'those guys' who helped smooth things over?"

Tenma nodded in agreement, "That's right, it was someone from the 'Six Truths Guild' who came forward. They seem to be friends with Senior Mushi and have a very good relationship with him."

"Indeed, you should thank your senior properly!"

Yuji Doppo smiled and introduced, "When it comes to super-large-scale karate groups, we naturally refer to the Shinshinkai and Rokujinkaikan."

“But unlike the Divine Heart Society, the previous head of the Six Truths Association seemed to have a rule prohibiting the Six Truths from contacting the underworld.”

"However, the current curator, 'Qingxian', is a very adaptable guy who will find loopholes when necessary to help his 'own people' as much as possible."

Yudi Dubu sipped his hot tea and sighed leisurely, "That's the advantage of a large organization. It not only has a visible side but also a hidden side. When necessary, it can also use its power to intimidate others. It's very flexible."

"Speaking of which, little sister, I hope the Divine Heart Society also has a women's division. If any impatient kids want to try out women's combat, you'll have to give them special treatment!"

Tianma nodded repeatedly, "Of course, thank you very much."

Unbeknownst to them, the Valkyrie fighting group, which they had "no choice" to form, had gradually developed, especially with a strong backing.

And it's not just Valkyrie; Shiraki's Fighting Spirit Martial Arts School is the same.

Tenma Nozomi and Goji Doppo turned to look at Shiraki Sei, who was drinking tea and enjoying the breeze. He was leaning against the wall behind him, smiling leisurely.

The two were looking at Bai Mucheng, while Bai Mucheng was looking at even more people.

In his eyes, ink-wash lines floated, outlining one figure after another, filling the open-air courtyard of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall, creating a lively scene. Long was sitting cross-legged on the grass, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the yokan in Yuji Doppo's hand, looking somewhat greedy.

Zangief is exercising, lying on his back with his feet and the back of his head on the ground, his whole body arched high. This is a wrestling exercise called the "neck bridge," which strengthens the neck muscles.

Jamie leaned against a crate in the corner of the yard, chuckling as he enjoyed the breeze. Inside the crate was the wild turkey whiskey that Kaoru Hanayama had sent earlier.

Luke was practicing his boxing, throwing punches and kicks incessantly, his enthusiasm growing and his form becoming increasingly intense.

As for Gu Lie, he was looking left and right with a meticulous expression, inspecting the various outdoor equipment in the yard.

More ink-wash dotted lines float, outlining many people, and it even seems that someone is raising their hand to greet you, but Bai Mucheng can't see them clearly yet.

"Great, really good..."

Shiraki Shiroki really liked this atmosphere.

Passionate and unrestrained, yet not repressive—compared to fame or immense wealth, he actually desired this kind of life more.

"..."

On the other hand, Tenma hoped to get the contact information of that old-fashioned confectionery shop from Goji Doppo.

"It tastes really good. I'll order some for Senior and Little Universe. I really need to thank him properly for the Six Truths Guild..."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Tenma was muttering to himself, Koishi Mitsuyo suddenly appeared, peeking out from behind the wall on one side of the yard, startling everyone on the picnic mat.

"Oh dear, there are so many people! Sorry to bother you, Cheng!"

Mitsuyo Muishi—the handsome man with long cherry-pink hair and a scar across his face, who was also a bone setter and a somewhat perverted fighter—came over with a grin.

He took the pastry from Tenma Nozomi's hand, and while eating it, he looked at Tenma Nozomi and Guji Doppo, noticing their single eye and eye patch.

Mitsuyo Koishi blinked. "...Huh, is this some kind of idol cosplay?"

Tianma hoped, "..."

She lay down on her back and gave up treatment.

After joking around, Mu Shi finished his pastry in a few bites, licked his lips, and looked at Bai Mucheng, "Let's get down to business, Bai Mucheng. I've introduced you to a friend who's 'interested'."

Bai Mucheng snapped out of his leisurely state and looked at Mushi.

Mu Shi changed the subject and said with a smile, "But more specifically, whether he's interested in the Fighting Soul Martial Arts Hall or in you—Bai Mucheng—I don't know!"

“Before, Awang’s Valkyrie was also thanks to the help he got from the Six Truths Guild.”

"Ah, judging by the time, he should be arriving soon..."

"..."

As Mu Shi was speaking, he heard a man's voice from the doorway, "Excuse me."

Everyone turned to look and saw a robust, middle-aged man with dyed blond hair and a short beard near the doorway.

The man's face was stern. He quickly noticed the people in the courtyard, his gaze lingering on Yuji Doppo for a moment before turning to Shiramu Cheng.

He is the exclusive fighter of Guhai Pharmaceuticals, the longest-serving fighter currently active, and also the fighter with the most victories throughout history.

【Tiger】Wakatsuki Samurai!
Shiraki Shō had met Wakatsuki Samurai before when he fought against Akoya Kiyoaki, so they had met once and were not strangers.

Moreover, Wakatsuki Takeshi wasn't the type to beat around the bush, and with Mitsuyo Koishi's introduction, he got straight to the point.

"Nice to meet you, that's exactly what I came to see you about."

Wakatsuki shook hands with Shiraki, saying, "I'm very interested in your fighting style."

Bai Mucheng was taken aback. "Fighting style?"

"Yes."

Wakatsuki Samurai explained with a smile, "I originally thought that your fighting style was similar to the current [Fang of Metsudo], both of you adjusting your style according to your opponent's fighting style."

"But judging from the way you fought Akoya in the final showdown, you don't follow the path of 'adapting to your opponent,' you are a completely different type from Kiba."

"As you probably know, something big might happen in the fighting world soon, so I'll just say it directly..."

Wakatsuki Samurai put her hands on her hips and laughed, "My employer told me that a new 'fighting center' style martial arts school is going to open here."

"I was a bit curious, and I was itching to try it out, so I thought I'd come here to 'exchange knowledge' and 'spy on each other'."

"Could you show me around?"

"..."

As they were talking, Wu Fengshui and Li Youba had finished showering, dried their hair, and came to the courtyard to meet up with the others.

They also heard what the Wakatsuki samurai said, and then gave a helpless smile.

Li Youba chewed on a daifuku and muttered, "What a straightforward guy..."

Wu Fengshui smiled and looked at Bai Mucheng, "But it really works here, doesn't it?"

"..."

clap clap!

Shiraki Shigeaki brushed the crumbs off his hands and stood up to greet the guests of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall—namely, the Wakatsuki Samurai.

“Alright, since you’re friends with Brother Gu Hai and Mu Shi, I’ll show you around my shop.”

Bai Mucheng glanced around, his eyes gleaming, grinned, and suggested:

"Then, shall we take a look at the arena first?"
