Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Upon hearing this, Chun-Li also fell silent.

She knew that Yuan's achievements in pharmacology were in no way inferior to his achievements in assassination.

"There's nothing to be sad about; this is the end for an assassin." Yuan seemed quite philosophical about it.

“I already knew about this when I found Xiao Chenzi three years ago. More than death, I am worried about dying without dignity on my sickbed... Moreover, for me, death may not be the end.”

The others thought Yuan was just trying to comfort himself by saying that death was not the end, but Yuan Chen... well, and Ingrid knew that this was no exaggeration.

"Actually, I was worried after what happened before. With only a few years left, I wondered if I could catch up with the old man's current pace."

Seemingly sensing the stench, Yuan Chen leaned back in his chair and said:

"But now, I'm starting to see some progress... Although the consumption of life energy is enormous, from another perspective, it can also accumulate tremendous power in a short period of time."

"My body has recovered now. Once I've mastered modern martial arts, I'll switch back to classical martial arts... Two years should be enough time for me to accumulate enough power."

Yuan Chen pointed at Yuan, his eyes filled with determination: "I will definitely beat you to death with my own hands."

Hearing Yuan Chen's firm words, Yuan nodded, and a sincere smile finally appeared on his usually carefree face.

“I’m looking forward to it… good boy. But you know, just getting beaten to death has never been my goal.”

“Yes, I know, ‘dead union,’ right?” Yuan Chen replied.

"Mm." Yuan nodded, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

In the storyline of Street Fighter, Gen fought Akuma many times. In Street Fighter Alpha 2, he met Akuma for the first time. He realized that the killing intent wave that Akuma controlled was not the power of this world, and said that he would send Akuma to the Western Paradise.

After defeating Akuma, Gen did not choose to kill him, even though Akuma was powerless to resist.

Because Gen longed to die in battle, and in Akuma, Gen felt the potential to kill himself.

The second time was in Street Fighter Alpha 3, the two fought fiercely, but in the end they had to leave the battlefield temporarily due to external factors, and took down Vega in the process - the one with the killing intent to shake the world.

The two Street Fighters did not clash, but Yuan lost control and vomited blood while helping Chun-Li, making it difficult for him to maintain his peak condition.

In Street Fighter V, Gen was terminally ill, while Akuma was a god-like figure who had broken through his limits. After defeating Gen, Akuma discovered that Gen was just a weak and crippled man. Thus, Gen's life came to an end.

However, a closer look reveals that during the period when Gen was at his strongest in Street Fighter 3 and 4 at the end of his career, he did not achieve the ending he longed for—a dead match.

As an assassin, he neither wanted nor should have died in a hospital bed.

Rather, they died in a duel where they went all out, showing no favoritism, and where everything was solely for the purpose of killing their opponent—a duel at the cost of their lives.

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen looked at his hands and silently said:

“Before, I was worried about whether I could catch up with your strength in a short time… I was even prepared to beg for a strong person to kill you.”

"But now... there's still a chance."

Yuan Chen looked up at Old Yuan.

"Without the hands of others, but by myself... I personally killed you when everything was at its peak."

"In this way, we can fulfill the filial piety and righteousness between grandfather and grandson, master and disciple."

Feeling the undisguised cold killing intent in Yuan Chen's gaze, Old Yuan couldn't help but grin, revealing a carefree and unrestrained smile.

"Good boy."

----------

Considering that some readers may not have seen Baki and are unfamiliar with many of the characters, I've decided to change the storyline to start from the battle for the strongest on Earth.

Yes, it's the one about Nobita's Sea Emperor.

Volume 1: Chapter 50 - The Waitress's Unexpected Misfortune

Looking at Yuan Chen, whose eyes were filled with determination, and then at Grandpa Yuan, whose face was full of smiles, Chunli's face was also filled with despair.

In the end, Chunli could only look at her father beside her and say with a bitter face, "Dad, say something!"

Tong Ang fell silent in response, then couldn't help but light a cigarette and puff on it continuously, his face showing a complex and gloomy expression.

But after a long while, Tong Ang finally exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Then... don't forget to call me when the time comes."

“Dad!” Upon hearing Tong Ang’s words, Chunli’s face flashed with disbelief, as if she had never expected her father to say such a thing.

Tong Ang simply shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Or rather, Tong Ang knew that this was exactly what Yuan was pursuing.

Back then, Hong Kong was still a criminal underworld, and Interpol had not yet been established, but Yuen was already known as the "Thousand-Man Slayer," famous in both the underworld and the legitimate world. He was a living legend, a legend among assassins.

What Yuan desired was certainly not merely to prolong his life.

Unlike the legends of the Hong Kong fighting world in the past, Yuan does not kill the unarmed, the powerless to resist, the virtuous, or those with perseverance, willpower, and enlightenment... He even shows high respect and recognition to similar martial artists and warriors.

At the same time, he made no attempt to hide his contempt for those who relied on external forces.

For example, Vega, who uses his mental power to do evil.

……

It's quite pitiful that he's looked down upon by all the good guys and bad guys in the main storyline. Vega has really sacrificed too much for Street Fighter.

In short, it was precisely because of his unparalleled understanding of Yuan's personality that Tong Ang was able to comprehend him.

Chun-Li.

Sensing Chun-Li's disbelief, Tong Ang simply said calmly, "This may be a little hard to understand... but don't question a martial artist who is practicing the 'intention' of his own martial way."

Upon hearing Tong Ang's answer, Chun-Li, as a classic martial artist, seemed to realize something, opened her mouth slightly, and then, after a brief silence, whispered:

"I...I just don't want to accept it...I don't want to lose either Grandpa Yuan or Ah Chen."

Perhaps it was because Yuan Chen was going to study in the Doujie Realm, and Sagat and the others were returning to Thailand. Or perhaps it was because of Old Yuan's terminal illness and Yuan Chen's determination. The once peaceful restaurant suddenly became somewhat somber.

This kind of dullness and oppression should be something everyone can feel, right? Even Wu Jialouluo, who was standing to the side, appeared exceptionally calm and composed.

"Aaaaaah! I can't take it anymore! Everyone, cheer up!!"

Huo Yindan, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but stand up and shout, "No matter what! We're still here, aren't we?! It's about time, let's begin our afternoon training!"

Huo Yindan revealed a rather exaggerated smile, gave a thumbs up, and said:

"Although Sagat can't teach me the inner strength and power of ancient Muay Thai, I've already combined my father's Extreme Flow techniques to develop the Strongest Flow Muay Thai! Once I perfect it further, I'll definitely become a grandmaster!"

In response, Sagat's lips curled into a smile: "I'm looking forward to it."

Yuan Chen nodded seriously, "It might actually work."

Hearing their evaluations, Huo Yin Dan also revealed a proud look, and then said, "Everyone, wait for me! I'll go find the waitress to get some supplies from the warehouse!"

As she spoke, Huo Yindan excitedly ran to the waiter to ask for the warehouse key.

As Huo Yindan departed, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense and chaotic.

Yuan Chen, however, stared at Huo Yindan's back with great interest for a while, finding it quite amusing.

Dan Hibiki is a veteran comedic character in Street Fighter. He initially trained in the "Kyokugenryu" style, but later renamed it Saikyouryu after stealing signature moves from other masters.

In reality, Capcom used this character to mock SNK's "Genius" characters as "clowns" who stole martial arts skills, as a counterattack against the incident in King of Fighters '94 where Guile and Akuma statues appeared in the background of Lucario's battle map—in the setting, Lucario would turn every defeated subordinate into a statue.

In return, SNK later incorporated the Assassination Fist move from Street Fighter into Yuri Sakazaki's skill set, implying that the Assassination Fist in Street Fighter was only suitable for little girls, and so on...

However, times have changed. By the time Yuan Chen started playing Street Fighter 6 in his previous life, the high barrier to entry and overall decline of fighting games meant that it had become common for popular characters to make cameo appearances in each other's games.

After all... Takashi Nishiyama, the creator and producer of Street Fighter I, is also the founder of SNK's IPs such as Art of Fighting and The King of Fighters.

Compared to the conflicts of interest between companies, the disagreements among players are actually greater...

As for the Fire-Attracting Pill, its inherent talent goes without saying.

In the story, when Dan Hibiki believed he had mastered his martial arts and went to avenge his father, he was even able to fight on equal terms with Sagat, who had overcome his confusion and defeated Vega, Seth, Zangief, Ryu, and his former disciple Aten.

It wasn't until Sagat recognized Dan Hibiki's flying kick that he realized it was the same move that had taken his eye, and that the person in front of him was that man's son.

Then, Sagat, who seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time, knelt on one knee, giving up resistance and stating directly:

"I committed too many murders in the past, and I am no longer the one who killed your father. Yes, I do not deserve your forgiveness. If all you have in your heart is hatred, then take action."

Clearly, Sagat hopes to resolve this hatred with his own life.

When facing his enemy, Huo Yin Dan initially unleashed his ultimate technique, "Shaking the Sky Fist," without any mercy.

But after realizing that Sagat showed no sign of resistance, Dan Hibiki canceled the attack at the last moment.

He stated frankly that his father did not want him to get caught up in a vortex of revenge, and that this sense of remorse was more important than revenge.

Since then, Dan Hibiki has officially embarked on his path to becoming a Street Fighter comedian, and has regained his former confidence and optimism.

Now, thanks to Yuan Chen's intervention, Huo Yinqiang is not dead, and Huo Yindan's personality remains optimistic and cheerful.

It's unknown how his future 'Saikou-ryu Karate' will change as a result.

Just as Yuan Chen was still thinking, Huo Yindan hurriedly ran back, his face, with its prominent buttocks and chin, filled with terror.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yinqiang asked nervously, noticing his son's unusual expression.

Meanwhile, Dan Hibiki produced a letter and said, "The waitress has been kidnapped! It seems to be Kagero's revenge!!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Si, who was immersed in a gloomy atmosphere, became even more so.

Book 1: Chapter 51 - Baroque Mastery

Upon hearing Huo Yindan's words, the already somewhat gloomy and silent Huo Yindan, who was about to part ways, all turned their gazes toward him.

In this atmosphere and under such gaze, anyone else would feel more or less oppressed.

But Huo Yindan was a natural optimist, and since he hadn't succumbed to his original desire for revenge, he only said with a face full of resentment:

"It must be Yingluo! Look, there's even their provocation here!"

As he spoke, Huo Yindan slammed the letter in his hand onto the table.

The image entered the screen, but the ant didn't record much information; it was just a very simple sentence.

'Shadow Luo will not let any traitor go unpunished. Their deaths and injuries were all caused by you, and this is just the beginning, Copper Ang.'

And after that comes Shadow Luo's skull symbol.

Seeing this, Tong Ang narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that Ying Luo is also desperate."

Tong Ang said, "Based on my understanding of the Shadow Luo organization, if they really wanted revenge, it wouldn't be as simple as it is now... Interpol is currently focusing its investigation on matters related to Hong Kong, and it seems that the Shadow Luo is preparing for one last act of revenge before leaving Hong Kong..."

I just didn't expect them to target even ordinary people who have nothing to do with this matter!

As he said this, Tong Ang clenched his fists, his brows furrowed with intense anger.

"More importantly... how did the Shadow Warriors take the waitress away?" Sagat asked after a moment's hesitation.

"To be honest, I don't believe anyone could sneak in and abduct anyone here without us all being here... not even an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen remained silent for a moment before saying, "They must have been targeted while shopping..."

"Then what about this letter? Why is it here?" Hibiki Tsuyoshi was puzzled.

"It's mental power."

Ingrid's voice came from the side.

Following the sound, Ingrid, who had been watching the show with great interest, was now propping her face up with one hand and saying with a smile:

"It was Vega's doing. I sensed residual spiritual energy here... but Vega isn't here. He must have just transmitted this paper through some kind of spiritual energy amplification device."

Upon hearing Ingrid's words, Yuan Chen nodded thoughtfully.

It might be uncertain whether others would say the same thing, but if it's Ingrid, there's no need to question the truth of the matter.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen simply asked, "Where are the waiters now? Can you tell me?"

"But this kind of thing is still fine~" Ingrid said with a grin, "After all, it was those guys who used their mental power first!"

As she spoke, Ingrid glanced at the map hanging on the wall. With a casual tap, a bright dot appeared on the map, located on a building about four blocks away from Yuan Hanting. She said:

"Right there... Also, remember to leave early, because it seems they are preparing to leave Hong Kong and plan to kidnap the poor little girl before leaving to deter others who want to oppose Yingluo."

"Yes, thank you."
