Tokyo Wrestler

This made even the most experienced underground boxing referee tremble...

Because the black elephant's entire head had completely sunken in, the scarlet blood, the yellowish-white bone fragments, and the tofu-like white matter in its brain... all indicated that the black elephant was beyond dead!

In such a short time, with just one strike, such terrifying damage could be inflicted...

The slightly overweight referee glanced at Sett and couldn't help but swallow hard.

He suddenly became hesitant to referee Sett's match, fearing he might accidentally get accidentally injured or killed...

Facing Sett, none of his protective gear could provide him with even the slightest sense of security.

a long time.

Despite being deeply shocked by his performance in his job over the years, the slightly overweight referee still loudly proclaimed:

"The winner is... a champion!!"

The words fell.

The octagon started operating again, and the underground boxing doctors arrived with a stretcher, only to shake their heads and leave...

Amidst the deafening cheers of the audience, Sett left through the reopened passageway and, led by the secretary with the flying hat bowing even more deeply, headed towards the butler's office.

Give me the money!

By the way, could you ask about the Qinghe Group members and the mad scientist from back then?

...

When Sett entered the butler's office.

Behind the computer desk, Ishimura Taro stood like a statue, his aged face bearing a huge scar, every wrinkle seemingly expressing the horror in his heart.

His pale, yellowish eyes were fixed on the screen, motionless.

He didn't even notice when Sett came.

Sett took two steps closer and found that the screen was playing a loop of his effortlessly annihilating Black Elephant's fist. From Sett's current level 3 peak dynamic vision, he felt that the fist was very ordinary, not even reaching his fifth level of strength.

However, from the perspective of an ordinary person, it is absolutely astonishing.

Even the most prestigious gold belts in the world don't have punches that fast!

Sett waited patiently for a few more moments.

Seeing that the butler, Ishimura Taro, remained motionless, he coughed twice.

"Cough cough..."

Only then did the other person seem to wake up from a dream and finally take their eyes off the screen.

Seeing Sett approach, the shock on his face remained unchanged. After a moment, Ishimura Taro tentatively asked:

"Sett...you've become like Kojiro too?"

"Hmm, more or less." Settila pulled up a chair, sat down, and nodded in agreement.

"Phew..." Upon hearing this, Director Guan let out a sigh of relief, suddenly realizing what was happening, and murmured:

"No wonder...no wonder you, a high school student, were able to defeat Okazawa in your first underground boxing match...no wonder you could fight underground boxing matches tirelessly...no wonder you could so easily defeat Black Elephant like just now..."

Based on the inhuman behavior of the Qinghe Group members from back then, and his younger brother Ishimura Kojiro, the butler, though not knowing much about the extraordinary world, was roughly aware of its existence.

Sett did not offer any further explanation.

It's not beneficial for ordinary people to know too much extraordinary knowledge.

After Ishimura Taro regained his composure thanks to his improved emotional control due to age, he smiled and placed the briefcase he had prepared in advance on the table.

He said to Sett:

"This is your payment for tonight: a base appearance fee of 500 million, and a total share of 1366 million from the betting pool, slightly less than your previous match against 'Little Monk'... Count them?"

Seti took the money but simply placed it at his feet without opening it to count it.

As long as he maintains his current fame, he will easily reach this number every so often.

Furthermore, if Sett wanted to make a lot of money, he could also do so by deliberately throwing matches and exploiting others to make a fortune. Therefore, he doesn't care too much about money these days.

After the money matters are settled.

Sett didn't leave then, but went straight to the point:

"I want to ask about Kojiro Ishimura and the Seihe Group back then."

"Will these old stories be of any help to you?"

"Have."

"Go ahead and ask, I'll answer everything I know," the butler said with a smile, taking out a cigarette and lighting it, ready to answer a multitude of questions.

Recalling the entries in the madman's diary, Sett asked first:

"Do you know exactly where the former leader of the Qinghe Group took so many people back then?"

Butler Ishimura Taro puffed on his cigarette, recalled for a moment, shook his head, and said:

"All I know is that it's a mysterious place. The team leader didn't explain much back then. He just suddenly gave orders one day to take away a large number of core members... You know what happened after that. A lot of people died when they came back."

The group leader he mentioned was naturally Aoi Suechi's father, the former group leader of the Aoi He Group, Aoi Gen.

But then, Ishimura Taro's eyes lit up, and he added something:

“Oh right... I vaguely remember Kojiro mentioning that they went to some dangerous divine land... Yes, I remember now, that place is called ‘Takamagahara’!”

"I remember that name quite well back then, because I happened to see an old TV series on TV that was about creation myths, stories like Izanagi and Izanagi..."

Upon hearing this, Sett's eyes widened slightly, and he thought:

Aoi Soe also mentioned the name Takamagahara.

It seems my guess was correct.

Given the genius of this madman, the scholar, he was bound to succeed in the end, successfully sneaking into Takamagahara.

Why were the Qinghe Group, these ordinary people, able to enter Takamagahara? Based on the timeline, there's a 99% chance it's related to the mad scientist!

So he continued to ask:

"Did any of them mention the name 'mad scientist' after they came back?"

"A mad scientist?" Ishimura Taro frowned, his aged brain searching frantically before finally shaking his head and replying, "There shouldn't be one. I have no recollection of that name."

I don't remember... Sett wasn't discouraged and said:

"Could you elaborate on what happened back then? For example, the former team leader's behavior, his description of that mysterious place, and the changes in the thirteen people who returned, etc..."

Takamagahara, which involves a level 10 true god, is a place that is relentlessly pursued and competed for by the Heavenly Pillar and the Monster Association.

Even though Sett is only level 3 now, he thinks it's still very necessary to learn about him in advance.

Upon hearing Sett's words, Ishimura Taro took a deep drag, stubbed out his cigarette, and, with white smoke billowing from his nostrils, his eyes glazed over as if recalling details of the past, slowly said:

"That was sixteen or seventeen years ago. At that time, under the leadership of Group Leader Qingjingyuan, the Qinghe Group had basically taken complete control of the Nerima District, and all the gray industry chains, big and small, were managed by our Qinghe Group."

"Everything is developing steadily in an orderly manner."

"But one day, Team Leader Aoi suddenly convened a meeting of the core members of the team, and I was there at the time."

“During that meeting, the group leader, Aoi-buchi, seemed quite excited. He said, ‘The Aoi-buchi group is about to have a precious opportunity. If we seize it, the Aoi-buchi group will completely dominate Tokyo and even the entire Japanese yakuza world in the future.’”

It seems that Aoi knew something beforehand and deliberately chose to enter Takamagahara... Sett thought to himself, and without interrupting the butler, he let him continue:

"After that, Team Leader Qingjingyuan began to organize personnel. Apart from leaving me and a few other core members to barely maintain the internal operation of the Qinghe Group, all the other core members were taken away by Team Leader Qingjingyuan. There were probably nearly a hundred people."

They set off in a grand manner, but returned in a sorry state half a month later, with only the team leader and the other thirteen people returning.

"As for the changes in them... there are too many to count. Besides the fact that they have all aged significantly, Kojiro suddenly started using a katana."

"Yuhe, that player who has killed a thousand people, has actually taken to dressing up as a young girl and wearing a shrine maiden outfit."

"Daisuke shaved his head and kept chanting 'Amitabha' all day; Fukui is even stranger, he's rambling on and on and likes to play with origami figures... There are three others who wield samurai swords like Kojiro, namely Nakara..."

I listened patiently as the butler introduced each of the thirteen people from that year.

Sett also summarized the following in his mind:

These are the four paths for spiritual practitioners: "Warrior," "Buddhist Monk," "Miko," and "Onmyoji"!

None of the thirteen were Masters; they were all people who possessed combat abilities.

Then Se asked, "What about Aoi-buchi?"

"As for Group Leader Aoi... he's a bit different from the others. I've seen him use a katana before, and I've also seen him fold paper figures like Fui," Ishimura Taro replied after thinking for a moment.

A practitioner who cultivates both samurai and Onmyoji! Sett quickly came to this conclusion.

According to the records of Tianzhu, there are practitioners who have dual or even triple paths of cultivation. However, since people's energy is limited, it is rare for practitioners with dual paths to reach a high level.

Suddenly, Ishimura Taro thought of something and said:

"By the way, there's another change in Team Leader Aoi, I don't know if it counts, but since he came back, although he's become more taciturn, his appetite has unexpectedly improved a lot. He can eat a lot, sometimes eating a whole day's worth in one sitting."

"You can eat a lot? Is it because your training has increased your energy expenditure?" Sett, who was also a big eater, didn't pay much attention and continued to ask:

"Besides the name, what other descriptions did they give of that mysterious place after they returned?"

“That’s all…” Ishimura Taro shook his head and said:
