Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

"Okay, then." Yuan Chen nodded thoughtfully, then fell into a brief silence.

Sensing Yuan Chen's silence, Ingrid didn't say anything more, just smiled and looked at the silent Yuan Chen, as if waiting for him to continue.

Looking at Ingrid, Yuan Chen took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

"Oh? Why are you thanking me?"

Ingrid looked at Yuan Chen with some anticipation.

"Because without you, I might still be recovering in bed right now, and I wouldn't be fighting today."

Yuan Chen glanced at the scars on his body that had almost completely healed and said with some emotion:

"If it weren't for the constant transformation of life energy by the Sun Rune, even if I could win, my fate probably wouldn't be much better than if I had defeated Sagat..."

"Hehe, this is just a small favor from a senior colleague~"

Ingrid waved her hand dismissively, but then opened her crimson eyes. Although she had the appearance of a young girl, her eyes held an indescribable kindness and gentleness.

"All I hope for is that after you return, you will still be like this... Hmm, Xiaoyi~!"

At first, she was somewhat kind and loving, but later, Ingrid immediately reverted to her mischievous and lively nature:

"As for now! The universe—the super-invincible multiverse of Ingrid-chan is going to sleep!! I, Connie, am going to tell you a story!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Telling stories is no problem... but are there really stories you don't know?"

“How could that be!” Ingrid exclaimed. “Ingrid has never heard anyone tell a story before!”

“Uh…” Yuan Chen stroked his chin with some suspicion, then said, “Then let’s tell a story about zombies, the protagonist is called Leon…”

"I don't want to listen, it's pointless, that world has too many secrets revealed!"

"...Then let's tell you another story about a monster hunter named Dante..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen. That guy can sense my status. He becomes extremely serious as soon as he notices me. This is boring, this is boring."

Hearing Ingrid's words, Yuan Chen also showed a numb expression, but then he seemed to notice something and sniffed twice, then looked at Ingrid suspiciously and said, "Uh... you seem to smell a bit of sweat?"

"The smell of sweat?" Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Ingrid showed a surprised expression. After sensing it for a moment, she then looked troubled: "Damn it, the cause and effect of your world is not yet closed. The body I created has a bug!"

"And now?" Yuan Chen asked with a strange expression.

Before Yuan Chen could finish speaking, Ingrid's figure vanished in a flash of light, then reappeared in the shower room.

"Hey! Junior! Come here and give me a back rub!"

ccb?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen was speechless.

"I really need to learn about electric current driving."

It's not about increasing click resistance, because in terms of age, I'm the victim.

I'm rubbing the old lady's back.

The next day, Yuan Chen and the others rested for a day, packed their luggage, and then embarked on their journey to study abroad.

However, when Yuan Chen and Chun Li went to Tokyo, Japan, the Asian Fighting World, Yuan Chen still went with Chun Li to see Sagat and the others off first.

"I'm leaving. Although I don't know when we'll meet again, I'll remember you all." With Huo Yin Dan standing behind him, carrying large bags and acting as his apprentice, Sagat said, looking at Yuan Chen and the others:

"With your abilities, Yuan Chen, I believe it won't be long before you make a name for yourself in the fighting world... I'll come find you then."

"Yes, welcome."

Yuan Chen nodded, and then Sagat also stepped onto the boarding gate to return to Thailand.

After seeing Sagat off, Wu Jialouluo waved to Yuan Chen and said, "Achen, Achen, over here! The plane is about to take off!"

Upon hearing Wu Jialouluo's words, Yuan Chen first gestured back, then looked at Lao Yuan and Tong Ang and said, "Then Chunli and I will be leaving now."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Tong Ang nodded, his eyes filled with the concern of an elder, as well as some helplessness and self-blame.

"The Shadow Luo faction is powerful now. In order to prevent it from affecting your life in the fighting world, the bonus may have to be delayed for a while. Although we can provide some living expenses, you will probably have to rely on yourselves for the first few days."

"I understand." Yuan Chen nodded upon hearing this.

Vega's all-pervasive mental power is indeed very troublesome.

At least until the Hong Kong Police Headquarters thoroughly investigates the matter, all personnel transfers will be kept strictly confidential. Only truly trustworthy senior detectives like Tong Ang will be qualified to know about their own situation.

Old Yuan didn't say much, only smiled and nodded at Yuan Chen. Yuan Chen didn't say anything in farewell, nor did he feel sad; he simply looked at Yuan Chen quietly for a moment and then said:

"You won't have to wait too long."

"Mm." Yuan nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Afterwards, Yuan Chen and Chun Li carried their bags and walked towards Wu Jialouluo, taking a pre-arranged connecting flight directly to their destination.

Ingrid didn't follow; she should still be sleeping in Yuan Chen's bedroom. With the sun symbol as a coordinate, finding Yuan Chen again would be as simple as snapping her fingers for Ingrid.

Meanwhile, at the same time, in the arrival hall of Haneda International Airport in Tokyo.

"Ugh, it's the weekend, but I got photographed picking someone up here... Ugh, I'm so upset!"

Wearing a vest and shorts, with healthy and energetic tanned skin and golden pigtails, Hibiki Sakura leaned against the railing with a sad expression, muttering to herself.

"Hehe, maybe he'll be a handsome guy~" Hearing Hibiki Sakura's words, a girl with a similarly healthy tan but noticeably thinner than Hibiki Sakura, and with obvious signs of training, wearing a bun hairstyle, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"If that happens, don't blame me for striking first!"

Upon hearing the girl's words, Hibiki Sakura immediately bristled, then reached out with a pair of wicked hands to grab her best friend's ribs: "Damn Hara Ayaka! Take this!"

Watching her other good friend making a ruckus, the elegant, long-haired girl with black hair covered her mouth and chuckled, "Tune in a bit! Otherwise, you might not even notice when the other guests arrive later~"

"Such a hypocrite!" Upon hearing the words of the girl with long black hair, Ayaka Uehara, who was playing around with Hibiki Sakura, immediately raised her hand and said, "It's good to be close to someone, isn't it? What kind of person does Akemi hope her friend who lives at Hibiki's house will be?"

Upon hearing her best friend's words, even the long-haired, black-haired girl, who had previously maintained a graceful and elegant demeanor reminiscent of a Yamato Nadeshiko, couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Gulp, if you put it that way, then it really is—ugh! Muscles!"

As she said this, the girl called Zhu Mei suddenly let out a surprised scream.

Suddenly hearing her best friend's voice, Ayaka Uehara and Hibiki Sakura instinctively covered their ears, saying in a panic:

"Wow! That was loud! We know you like muscles, but you should control yourself a little, you idiot, Zhu Mei!"

To this, Soryuin Akemi ignored her, her eyes gleaming, and stared intently at the end of the passage in the distance, saying:

"No! You don't understand! I feel an unprecedentedly powerful pressure from flesh! Without a doubt, powerful muscles are approaching us!!"

"...So what exactly is this 'meat pressure' thing?!"

Hearing Zhu Mei spouting some nonsensical nonsense again, Sakura Hibiki and Hara Ayaka looked bewildered and puzzled.

Although they already knew that their best friend was a complete muscle fanatic due to her family's influence, they still couldn't understand some of the unique terms Zhu Mei used.

But whether they understood or not, it didn't stop them from looking in Zhu Mei's direction toward the end of the passage.

Before long, Hibiki Sakura and Ayaka Uehara realized why Akemi's reaction was so strong.

It was a figure that towered far above the surrounding passengers.

He had short, black hair with slightly longer bangs, which complemented his handsome and angular face.

He wore a simple sleeveless vest and light blue jeans, topped with a huge trench coat that, despite its size, appeared remarkably fitted due to his muscular physique. Although both items were oversized, neither the coat nor the jeans could conceal his physique, which seemed poised to burst through the fabric.

His chest muscles strained against the fabric, and his shoulders were so broad they looked like they could carry an entire door.

The muscles exposed through the neck, though not as deliberately sculpted as those of a bodybuilder, are more natural, making it immediately apparent that they are muscles honed through countless battles, covered with tiny scars, each one in its proper place, smooth and firm.

He carried a huge suitcase in one hand and had the other hand in his pocket. His pace was neither fast nor slow, but the crowd in front of him tacitly made way for him.

This made the man stand out even more effortlessly.

"That fleshy pressure... Oh my god, that fleshy pressure..." Akemi Souin's voice changed as she cupped her face, drool already reaching her lips. She looked like she wanted to press herself against him right now and have a passionate, intimate encounter.

Then, his female companion also caught the attention of the three men.

Tall and slender, wearing a tight-fitting jumpsuit, her classic Chinese bun hairstyle stood out in the crowd.

His steps were light and powerful, clearly indicating that he was a martial arts practitioner.

He was holding a document in his hand, glancing at it as he went.

Seeing the two of them, Zhu Mei almost instinctively grabbed Sakura Hibiki's arm, her knuckles turning white from the force. Completely ignoring her best friend's groans, she excitedly wiped her drool and said:

"Did you see that? I saw it! There are two! Two super muscles!! That woman's thighs, her quadriceps are just perfect!!!"

Seeing Zhu Mei's excited expression, Yuan Caixiang could only decide to pour cold water on her enthusiasm.

Volume 1: Chapter 64 - Muscle Maniac (4/5)

"I know you're excited, but you'd better tone it down a bit, Akemi~" Ayaka Uehara said with a teasing smile.

"The person who's staying at Hibiki's house is here to study abroad, and they're only eighteen according to their records, right? And those two, judging from their physiques, must be professional athletes in their prime, right?"

Upon hearing Ayaka's words, a look of pain appeared on Akemi Souin's face.

"You're right... Ugh, I'm so close to those incredibly powerful muscles, but I... Oh no!"

Seeing the dejected Akemi Kanade, Ayaya Uehara couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As for the person involved, Hibiki Sakura, she leaned against the railing with a sullen expression and said:

"Actually, there's not much difference... although it would be even better if it were this handsome guy~ But I feel like I've gained a lot of weight recently. Do you think I should sign up for a gym membership if it's a handsome guy?"

Hearing Hibiki's words, Ayaka Uehara, standing to the side, scratched her head, recalling her good friend's appetite, and glancing at Hibiki Sakura's current physique, and couldn't help but say:

"Exercise is a good thing... but with your appetite, you should gain two or three sizes to be considered normal."

"Ugh! How can you say that! I just eat a little more than the average person!" Hibiki Sakura said, feeling resentful.

“It’s definitely not just a little bit more.” Zhu Mei and Ayaka shook their heads in unison.

Akemi Souyuuin's older sister is the chairperson of the academy's board of directors and is a muscle enthusiast herself. Under her influence, Akemi Souyuuin has also become acquainted with fitness, sports, and martial arts.

As for Ayaka, her family runs a boxing gym. When her older sister is too busy, Ayaka will step in as a sparring partner. She has a considerable understanding of the diet and training intensity of boxers and fighters.

As for Hibiki Sakura... it's no exaggeration to say that maintaining such a healthy and well-proportioned figure while almost completely avoiding exercise is simply pushing the limits of their perceptions!

"No matter what! You absolutely have to come to the gym with me later!" As she said this, Zhu Mei also showed a lovestruck expression.

"Then you'll understand the beauty of muscles... Hehehe..."

While the friends were still chatting and teasing each other, Yuan Chen glanced around and easily spotted the trio in the bustling crowd in the arrival hall, just as Chun Li was still searching.

"It must be those three."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Chun Li raised her head slightly, then compared the information about Sakura Ka in the document. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed, "That's right, it's them! Not bad, I spotted them right away!"

In response, Yuan Chen simply shrugged leisurely.

To be fair, in a normal environment, three lively, energetic girls with different hair colors would certainly attract attention no matter how you look at it.

But considering that Ingrid has appeared in this world...

Shaking his head, Yuan Chen followed Chun Li.

Because the events in Hong Kong have not yet stopped, in order to avoid being noticed by those with ulterior motives, Wu Jialouluo and Wu Fengshui left Narita Airport. It is estimated that they will have to wait for some time before they can try to make contact again.

However, Yuan Chen didn't care too much. After all, he had already come to Tokyo, and as a martial artist, he had many opportunities to come into contact with the Wu clan.

Just as the three members of the royal cherry blossom group were teasing each other, a pleasant voice came from the side.

"Excuse me..."

Looking at the three girls, Chun-Li leaned down slightly and asked with a smile, "Is this Sakura Hibiki?"

Feeling Chun-Li's gaze, Sakura Hibiki, who had been lazily looking around, blinked and then nodded, saying, "Uh... I am, and you are?"

"Ah, I'm Chunli, and this is Yuanchen." Having confirmed it was Sakura Hibiki, Chunli pulled Yuanchen over and said, "We're here to board and study at the same time!"
