Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Sensing the confidence, even arrogance, in Yuan Chen's words, Baroque's lips twitched slightly. He didn't refute anything, but simply lay on the stretcher and closed his eyes to rest.

Having received a fairly satisfactory reply, Yuan Chen returned to the rest area to continue cleaning up the dirt on his body.

Just as he poured mineral water over his head, Chun-Li anxiously pushed open the door beside him: "Ah-Chen! You encountered Baroque? How are you now? Are you injured?"

As Chun-Li inquired, Sagat and the others walked in from the side. Judging from the marks on their bodies, they had clearly just finished fighting. Seeing this, Yuan Chen made way for Yuan Chen to take a shower, and then said while showering:

"Fortunately, Baroque is not as good as Old Sha. Although his claws are very sharp, they are not poisoned. Simple cuts are easy for me to treat."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Xing Suocai pointed at the crisscrossing scars on his face. Sagat, standing nearby, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, your life energy is indeed very effective in healing these kinds of cuts."

As the saying goes, there is a high wall between unarmed and armed.

The core reason is that weapons can generate greater destructive force through the weight and centrifugal force of the weapon itself.

Especially with sharp weapons like swords and knives, even a slight graze, if poisoned, could end a battle instantly.

Even without poison, the continuous bleeding effect of lacerations can directly tip the scales of victory. And if a slash or puncture wound damages internal organs, instant death is a common occurrence.

Unfortunately, the life energy endowed Yuan Chen with precise body control, so the poison had little effect on him, and even if it entered his body, it could be directly expelled from the wound.

Even if a major artery is severed, Yuan Chen can forcibly glue it back together with his life energy. Tear wounds at the muscle level are even less of a concern. The cut surface of the wound can stop bleeding in just a few breaths, and if you press it down slightly, the smooth cut surface can heal directly.

Although she heard what Yuan Chen and Sagat said, Chun-Li still came to Yuan Chen's side with a worried look and felt around. After confirming that Yuan Chen's injuries were really just flesh wounds and not as serious as when he fought Sagat last time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, considering that Yuan Chen actually faced an enemy on par with Sagat all by himself, Chun-Li couldn't help but complain:

"Don't rush in recklessly by yourself next time. As long as you hold us back, we'll be there soon!"

"Ah."

Yuan Chen nodded, then asked, "Sister Chunli, how's the battle going on your end?"

"I'm fine." Chun-Li replied, "Although we encountered another member of the December unit, I was with my dad, so it was two against one, and we also had the Special Operations Team providing support. It didn't take much effort to finish the fight."

"That's good." Yuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

After washing away the grime and treating their wounds and dirt, the internal battle within the Sanyuan Society was drawing to a close. After taking a brief statement from the old man who had finished the suppression mission, Yuan Chen and the others returned to Yuan Hanting.

Although it was night, considering the battle that had taken place that day, and in order to ensure that the enemy could recover, Yuan Chen personally cooked another delicious meal.

Watching Xing Shuai quickly eat to recover from his exhaustion, and holding a cup of hot tea, Old Yuan leisurely looked at Yuan Chen and asked:

"How does it feel to participate in this kind of battle for the first time as a modern martial artist?"

"...It's alright."

Upon hearing Lao Yuan's question, Yuan Chen paused for a moment before saying, "However, it still feels like a decisive move is missing."

"A decisive move?" Upon hearing this, Chun-Li blinked and then said, "You mean something like a finishing move?"

"Yeah, more or less." Yuan Chen nodded.

"Although I can imitate some of the moves from Muay Thai and Sadism, it still feels like something is missing when I use them."

Although Yuan Chen tried the Fierce Tiger Rising Dragon Break and the simple and brutal Hell Burial Hand Chop in the battles against Baroque and Sagat, he felt that something was missing.

I didn't feel it when fighting Sagat, but when I imitated Sagat's moves this time, although they were both called Tiger Rising Dragon Break, apart from the power and energy, there were indeed other things that were different from it.

"That's the meaning, right?" Upon hearing this, Chun-Li said enthusiastically, "I have a lot of experience with this. Call me 'big sister' and I'll teach you!"

Volume 1: Chapter 61 - Yuan Chen - Great Loss (1/5)

"Good sister."

Yuan Chen answered immediately.

Seeing Yuan Chen answer without the slightest hesitation, Chun Li blinked, then looked regretful.

"Oh, you called me that easily... I thought I could tease you a little more."

Even as she said this, Chun-Li still shared some of her insights about "meaning".

Although the process was somewhat abstract, Yuan Chen was more or less aware that the so-called "intention" was to combine one's spirit with martial arts, just like the so-called unity of spirit and body, so that the moves would no longer be bound by the original form of constraints, but would become the form that he needed.

Chun-Li's artistic conception can be roughly summarized as: learning from all things, combining strength and gentleness, and upholding righteousness through martial arts.

Thinking this, Yuan Chen said, "If that's the case, it can also be summarized as 'flowing clouds and running water'?"

Upon hearing this, Chunli initially didn't take it seriously, but after calming down and thinking it over, she also showed a thoughtful expression, and for a moment she forgot to reply to Yuan Chen.

Listening to Chun-Li and Yuan-Chen's conversation, Sagat frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then fell silent again.

This caught Yuan Chen's attention.

"What's wrong? Old Sha, you seem to have something to say?" Yuan Chen asked.

“…Hmm.” Sagat initially didn’t want to answer, but seeing Yuan Chen’s question, he frowned and nodded, saying:

"I do have some different opinions, but after going through all this, my thoughts are a bit muddled... So, let's save what I want to say for when we meet next time."

Despite saying this, Sagat appeared quite magnanimous.

“Then you could try to find the Indian yoga master Darshim.” Yuan Chen suggested after hearing Shagat’s words: “Although he is not good at fighting, he has achieved extraordinary spiritual cultivation.”

Darsheim, also known as Yoga among players, has long arms and legs, and his fighting style is similar to Luffy's, but he prefers long-range attacks. And—he's very cunning.

Therefore, after each match, the player is immediately blocked, making this a rare character whose matchmaking time increases the more you play.

Although he is infuriating in the game, his spiritual cultivation is undeniable, as evidenced by the fact that the immortal Oro in the fourth game's storyline also interacts with him as an equal.

In the Street Fighter storyline, Ryu's ability to overcome the corrosive effects of Killing Intent Wave was largely due to Darsim, his spiritual mentor.

Having complete trust in Yuan Chen, Sagat nodded thoughtfully upon hearing Yuan Chen's suggestion and said, "Yes, I will pay him a visit."

Upon seeing the fervent and energetic demeanor of the man, Tong Ang, standing nearby, also opened up and began to talk about the justice he pursued.

They chatted and ate at the same time, and soon the food was ready to be eaten.

With nothing else to do, Lao Yuan asked, "You'll be leaving in a couple of days... Speaking of which, Yuan Chen, have you thought about that all-out effort you're going to put in?"

"A name..." Upon hearing Lao Yuan's question, Yuan Chen shook his head and said, "Things have been a bit busy lately, I haven't thought about it yet."

The so-called desperate state is actually the burning of life energy that occurs during the battle with Sagat.

Because in the burning state, the internal energy, life energy, and Yuan Chen's body will all be in a state of extreme consumption, so this can be considered Yuan Chen's most powerful trump card at this stage.

Although Yuan Chen wasn't opposed to having an extra trump card, he was concerned about how to name it...

"How about I give you some advice?" Old Yuan's face showed an enthusiastic expression.

“Sure.” Yuan Chen nodded and said, “Tell me about it. If it sounds nice, I’ll use it.”

“Then let’s call him ‘Da Hao’,” Yuan said with a smile. “It will suit your name perfectly.”

Upon hearing Yuan's words, Tong Ang couldn't help but pat his forehead. He then glanced at Old Yuan with a hint of helplessness and said, "When I first heard that A-Chen had your surname, I felt something was off. Now that I see it, it really is strange!"

"Uh... does it have any special meaning?"

Chunli, standing to the side, asked curiously.

In fact, not only Chun-Li, but also Sagat, Dan Hibiki, and Yoshihiro Hibiki all looked curious, clearly unaware of what Dungeon and Gen were trying to convey.

Seeing this, Tong Ang glanced helplessly at the grinning Yuan, then carefully considered his words before saying:

"Yuan Chen, also known as 'Da Hao,' is a deity in Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) astrology, signifying life's ups and downs, setbacks, financial losses, and disasters, especially affecting relationships, career, and family life!"

Although Interpol agents are often out in the field, Tong Ang's knowledge of classical Chinese literature is clearly not lacking. He sensed the stench and the unease, and understood the profound meaning behind it all.

"Those whose fate is afflicted by the Yuan Chen are prone to turmoil, lawsuits, or romantic entanglements. Specifically, they are characterized by extreme thinking, difficulty in distinguishing right from wrong, and being easily troubled by internal and external factors. ... I found it a bit strange when I first heard this name, and now you're naming his life-consuming move 'Da Hao' (Great Loss). Even if you're not superstitious, you old man, don't deliberately choose unlucky names."

As he said this, Tong Ang gave Lao Yuan a disdainful look, but Lao Yuan just chuckled indifferently. Somewhat exasperated by this old rascal, Tong Ang turned to Yuan Chen, saying with a helpless expression:

"At first, I just thought it was superstition, but after living with it for a while..."

Tong Ang didn't continue, but it didn't matter whether he said anything or not, because Chun Li had already lowered her head knowingly, her face full of despair.

The time Chunli spent with Yuan Chen was definitely the most exciting period of her life... There were countless new things happening almost every day.

They even brought in the Muay Thai emperor, Shadow Luo's number one killer... It's unbelievable.

Looking at Xing Sizhi's scheming face, Ang also rubbed his temples and then said, "Looking on the bright side, at least Ah Chen has encountered a lot of turmoil, but the lawsuits have been handled properly, and the love troubles have been resolved peacefully."

Upon hearing this, Chunli remained silent, simply staring blankly at her own father.

The lawsuit was handled well because Yuan Chen was helping the father and daughter deal with Ying Luo, but the peach blossom calamity...

Let's not talk about that girl from the Wu clan yet. You might not know, but this morning I used my mouth...

She shook her head vigorously, forcibly interrupting her thoughts to stop herself from getting lost in the memories. Then, with a stern and delicate face, she looked at Yuan Chen beside her with disdain, her beautiful eyes full of resentment.

In contrast, Yuan Chen nodded in understanding after learning the meaning behind it.

He then gave Lao Yuan a thumbs-up: "This name is reasonable."

Volume 1: 62. Is it too late to learn about electric current driving now? (2/5)

Seeing that Yuan Chen actually thought there was no problem, Chun Li knew exactly what her brat was thinking. She immediately put on a stern face and looked at Yuan Chen, then stepped on him without saying a word.

Yuan Chen, however, was clearly unaffected and continued to smile at Old Yuan.

Seeing Yuan Chen's expression, Chun Li also seemed somewhat helpless. She made up her mind that she absolutely could not let this brat Yuan Chen succeed even once more, otherwise it might not just be that he was taking advantage of her now, but that she herself would become...

Logically, shouldn't he be the one injured in this love triangle? Why does it seem like my little brother is completely unaffected?

Although Chun-Li's stomping motion was very subtle, it did not escape the eyes of Lao Yuan and Tong Ang.

However, the two of them simply assumed that Chunli, as the older sister, disapproved of some of Yuan Chen's actions, and smiled at each other without thinking too deeply about it.

Because we've already gone through so much today, there's no need for a post-meal digestive workout, and people are just going about their business as usual.

After returning to his room and washing up, Yuan Chen had just come out of the bathroom when he saw Ingrid sitting on the bed, swinging her little legs back and forth as she looked at him with curiosity and amusement in her eyes.

Although he had only known this little old lady for a short time, he already knew her somewhat, so Yuan Chen wasn't shy and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"What could I possibly have to do? It's just my curiosity about my adorable junior, of course!" Leaning against Yuan Chen's blankets, Ingrid said with a smile.

"You're saying you want to kill your adoptive father? So why don't you ask me? After all, I can easily satisfy his desire for a deathmatch!"

"If you enter the fray, can it still be considered a death match?"

Hearing Ingrid's words, Yuan Chen's face was also full of speechlessness.

“Never mind that,” Ingrid said. “Just fulfill his wish, isn’t that enough?”

"...That makes sense."

Hearing Ingrid's words, Yuan Chen nodded understandingly and said, "But I still want to fulfill this filial duty myself, rather than relying on others."

In fact, Yuan Chen had considered asking Ingrid if she could help with the treatment, but the fact that Ingrid didn't say it directly already proved something—the cause and effect in this world has not yet been closed.

At the same time, for someone like Yuan, who stands at the pinnacle of assassination, death is, in a literal sense, a completely new beginning.

Seeing Yuan Chen's serious expression, Ingrid fell silent for a moment, then a beautiful smile appeared on her lips. She then "whooshed" into a flash of light and arrived above Yuan Chen's head, giving him a good rub.

"Good boy, good boy, good boy! You truly deserve to be Ingrid-chan's successor! I have high hopes for you!"

Yuan Chen was quite helpless about Ingrid's attitude of calling him "big brother" in front of outsiders, but treating him as a junior or even jokingly calling him a child in private.

However, considering factors such as age, well, Ingrid certainly has the right to be pampered like an elder.

However, Yuan Chen then remembered the important matter and looked at Ingrid, saying, "Speaking of which, are there any other uses for the Sun Talisman?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's question, Ingrid's eyes lit up with curiosity, and she asked, "Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel the power of the Sun Rune might be more than what I'm experiencing right now," Yuan Chen said, extending his palm.

"The only effect I can feel right now is the continuous restoration of life energy under the sunlight... If this comes from your power, I think it shouldn't be as simple as it seems on the surface."

Upon hearing this, Ingrid smiled.

"Not bad~ You sensed it so quickly! But even if you say that, I won't help you~ After all, sensing different forms of energy is a compulsory course for our race~"
