Tokyo Wrestler

"I don't have that plan yet, I'll just practice casually for now."

"Haha, training can't be done casually..." The man on the warship revealed his true intentions, saying expectantly, "How about we train together?"

A good training partner is the most effective way to improve your skills.

This sentiment also applied to Sett. Having an experienced training partner was crucial for breaking the 100-meter barrier in a short time, so he nodded in agreement.

"Sure, but my training volume is a little bit huge. You can rest beforehand if you feel tired."

Upon hearing this, the man on the warship immediately patted his chest with great enthusiasm, assuring everyone:

"You underestimate me. I, Niu Shanhai, have never known what it means to be tired in my entire life!"

"I have a competition in three months, so now is the time to train hard and give it my all!"

That's good... Sett was relieved and said:

"In that case, let's get started. How should we begin?"

"First, we'll do explosive power and strength training, then we'll sprint ten laps around the track while dragging tires!" the man on the warship excitedly planned.

He had no idea what he was about to face...

Soon, time passed by, minute by minute.

Their conversation gradually changed:

Are you tired?

"I'm not tired, let's keep practicing."

"...oh..."

"Aren't you... tired yet?"

"Not tired at all! I just broke a sweat, it's nothing."

"........"

"You...whew...you...really...aren't you tired?"

"Hmm, a little bit, let's rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, the man on the warship breathed a sigh of relief, his legs trembling as he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His once energetic, wheat-colored face was now covered in exhaustion, turning even paler than Yorujiro's.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Sett... was already filled with a hint of terror...

They trained intensely for the entire morning, including weighted sprints, high knees against the wall, five-step wall climbs, and a whole series of strength, explosiveness, and skill exercises—almost equivalent to half a week's worth of his usual training.

He was exhausted, while Sett acted as if nothing had happened.

Is this... even human?

I, Niu Shanhai, have never known what tiredness is in my life... Kukuku... Sett stretched his aching muscles and said with a smile:

"I'm going to buy some food. Shall we continue in half an hour?"

The man on the warship's face contorted; to save his own life, he instinctively tried to refuse.

But thinking of the Tokyo School Track and Field Championships, which were of utmost importance to him in March, he finally nodded with difficulty, forcing a smile that was more painful than death, and said as if facing his doom:

"...good!"

Chapter 30 The Old Legacy of the Madman

School in the afternoon.

He practiced sprinting with the men from the warship for a whole day.

Sett was still somewhat unsatisfied.

But the man on the warship, who used to be full of energy and always had that big brotherly smile on his face, completely disappeared, and he was so exhausted that he was like a lump of mud that he couldn't be lifted up.

Sett ultimately couldn't bear it and decided to switch to another sheep.

But when Sett turned his attention to the other track and field team members...

Having witnessed the horrific state of the men on the warship throughout the day... they were all terrified and ran away!

This left Sett speechless.

With the upgrade, his half-beast heart also received an amplification, and his overall recovery ability and physical strength have gone from abnormal to super abnormal.

However, it was a whole day of hard training.

This not only greatly enhanced Sett's explosive power, but also steadily improved his 100-meter sprint time.

It's now 10.43 seconds!

Improving by 0.08 seconds in just one day, and that's in the 10-11 second range! This is probably the most unbelievable rate of improvement for a sprinter.

Sett walked out of the school gate and nodded secretly.

Breaking ten points in the 100 meters within two weeks is not a dream!

......

Sett didn't go home right away.

There's still some time before I go to Senso-ji Temple with my mom and older sister for the fireworks festival tonight.

So Sett decided to go somewhere else first:

Aoi Private Cemetery on the outskirts of Tokyo!

...

According to the address provided by the housekeeper.

Aoi's private cemetery was located in a secluded corner, on the edge of Nerima Ward, almost next to Niiza City.

The area is sparsely populated, with few buildings to be found. The most abundant vegetation consists of lush green branches and fresh grass, with a small river flowing gently nearby, creating a tranquil and natural scene.

In today's modern cities, it is hard to find.

Although it's called Aoi Private Cemetery, it's still a burial area with many "private cemeteries" scattered throughout. This is understandable, given that Japan has such a small area and land resources are quite scarce.

Unless someone has so much money they're burning it out, not many people would spend a huge sum of money to buy a large plot of land and use it all as their own cemetery.

Most of them are buried in public cemeteries, with each person having only a pitifully small grave.

Such separate "private cemeteries" as Sett now sees are quite rare and are a symbol of wealth.

Sett searched for a while.

Follow the road signs and directions.

They quickly found the sign for the "Aoi family".

After entering, I glanced inside.

There were many gray tombstones neatly arranged. Sett approached and glanced at them briefly, noticing that they had all sorts of surnames, but there were very few with the surname "Aoi".

Seti guessed that the core members of the Qinghe Group were buried here.

He then walked to the center of the cemetery, to the largest tombstone, on which were five large characters read:

The Tomb of Aoibuchi

The smaller print below indicates the date of death and other details such as life experiences.

Based solely on the date of death, Sett easily deduced the man's identity.

This is Aoi Suige's father, the former leader of the Aohara Group, a man who almost controlled half of the Japanese yakuza world after returning from that mysterious place that seemed to be Takamagahara.

Sett didn't look any further.

After all, his purpose in coming here was not to worship these strangers.

Sett looked around.

The entire Qingjing Cemetery was deserted except for him.

Not to mention his target—the elderly samurai, Kojiro Ishimura.

There wasn't even a trace of a white beard in sight.

Sigh, I knew it. Nobody lives in a cemetery every day... I'll come back and visit a few more times when I have free time... If I'm lucky, I might just run into Kojiro Ishimura... Serti thought to himself.

The goal is to find five people with superpowers to complete the first mission.

Besides following the little monk's advice to find the "Pillar of Heaven," Sett initially conceived of three other approaches:

Kojiro Ishimura's route was just a chance encounter at the cemetery.

And there's still no clue as to the anonymous text message that supposedly assassinated him...

Now only one remains:

Urban legend!

According to the young monk, every person with superpowers is no different from a lunatic.

Therefore, most of them who have gained extraordinary powers will not hide them, which will inevitably cause some accidents and rumors.

Therefore, using urban legends to find people with superpowers is actually a path that seems increasingly feasible the more you think about it.
