Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

"Knowing of Yuan's existence, those whose strength far surpasses mine will not act rashly. They will only send those from this era, or rather, those within Yuan's tolerance, either remnants of the previous era or geniuses of this era, to challenge me..."

As he spoke, a smile gradually crept onto Yuan Chen's lips.

"In other words... countless guys worth fighting will flock here! Is there anything more exciting than that?"

Looking at the smile on Yuan Chen's face, whether it was Shiranui Hanzo, Shiranui Mai, or Genryusai Maki, they all clearly felt a fierce, undisguised fighting spirit and madness.

In a daze, in their sight, Yuan Chen seemed to be engulfed in flames once again.

However, this time what is burning is no longer spirit or will.

Rather, it is Yuan Chen himself... If he cannot withstand the pressure brought by this power, then it is only natural that he will be burned to ashes by the gifts of this power—this is this man's entire understanding of death and martial arts.

As they looked at Yuan Chen, Shiranui Hanzo and Shiranui Mai, who were standing to the side, were unsure how to respond.

Beside—

"Ha!! Drink up!!!"

With a resounding battle cry, Genryusai Maki, who had been sitting on the futon, suddenly stood up, staring intently at Yuan Chen with unwavering determination: "I! I understand! I will not continue to be so decadent!"

Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui looked bewildered, completely unaware of what her best friend was suddenly going crazy about.

In contrast, when Yuan Chen also turned his gaze to Genryusai Maki, he nodded vigorously and said, "Oh! I sensed it! Your will! Let's cultivate together!"

"Cultivation!!"

Feeling Yuan Chen's ardent gaze, Genryusai Maki's heart trembled, and then she couldn't help but smile: "Cultivation!"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Hanzo Shiranui's eyes also revealed a slight surprise.

As an old friend of Elder Genryusai, Hanzo Shiranui understands Genryusai Maki very well... He can also understand Genryusai Maki's current disappointment and pressure.

But now...

Does it feel like it's gone back to normal?

Looking at Genryusai Maki, who was clenching her fists and beginning her warm-up, Shiranui Hanzo could feel that Genryusai Maki, whose thousand-year-old legacy of the Martial God School was being crushed by the pressure brought by the powerful strength of the two sect leaders, was struggling to breathe and only thinking about quickly handing over her responsibilities as the interim sect leader...

She seems to have turned back into the girl who, in junior high and high school, was known by her peers as the blonde devil and the queen of the biker gang, and the leader of the special operations team.

After a brief silence, a smile appeared on Hanzo Shiranui's face.

So that's how it is... This is Maki's 'meaning'.

In a daze, Hanzo Shiranui discovered that Genji might possess an even more wondrous ability than 'Golden Flame'...

"dance."

"Hmm?" Hearing her grandfather call her, Mai Shiranui turned her head curiously.

Seeing this, Shiranui Hanzo pointed to Yuan Chen and Maki and said, "Take them to Shiranui's dojo to train... You should go too. In a one-on-one situation, neither Yuan Chen nor you will gain any effective combat experience."

Sensing her grandfather's unspoken meaning, Mai Shiranui said somewhat resentfully, "What do you mean by not getting any useful experience? You're basically saying I can't beat Chen! ...Although that's certainly true..."

She pouted, but Mai Shiranui was still reasonable. After venting her frustrations, she said to Yuan Chen beside her, "Come with me! Maki and I will spar with you!"

"They're here!"

If it's one-on-one, Yuan Chen might not be very interested, but if it's one-on-two, Yuan Chen would be very interested.

After the three left, Hanzo Shiranui stood up, turned and went into the inner room. He took out his phone and made calls one by one, preparing to chat with his old friends about therapy, battles, and sparring.

After arriving at the dojo...

At first, Mai Shiranui felt that Genji was strong, but with the help of her close friend Maki Minamoto, she thought she wouldn't be as embarrassed as the first time...

In particular, according to Yuan Chen, this time the focus is on learning the bone-fist technique of the Shiranui school and the taijutsu of the Mushin school, and the use of the shamanic technique and other techniques will not be used.

Having practiced Bone Fist since childhood, Mai Shiranui has memorized every move of this style of boxing. With the help of Maki Minamoto, Mai Shiranui is ready to take revenge... or rather, to restore her dignity as the senior sister!

As the battle begins—

"Ugh!"

Volume 1: Chapter 128 - Ninja Arts and Charm

It was clearly a two-on-one fight, and Yuan Chen was restricted to using only the boxing manual he had briefly seen, while he was using the Bone Fist that he had already memorized. Logically, it should have been a complete and utter defeat, but who would have thought that the battle would fall into a strange rhythm from the very beginning.

Although Yuan Chen's attacks were noticeably blunt, each one was exceptionally effective.

Even if Mai Shiranui guessed in advance what kind of move Yuan Chen would use to counterattack, she would still be surprised to find that Yuan Chen was always able to seize that fleeting opportunity to bypass or break through her defenses, making the attack that should have failed take effect.

He dodged Genryusai Maki's Gale Kick to the side and delivered a simple, straightforward punch to her wide-open abdomen.

A sharp pain struck, but Genryusai Maki gritted her teeth and endured the pain to launch a counterattack against Gen Chen.

But before Genryusai Maki's fist could hit Yuan Chen, she turned around and saw Yuan Chen suddenly bend over, followed by a whirling flower butterfly fan flying from behind, hitting Shiranui Mai squarely between the eyebrows amidst her embarrassed expression.

With a crisp sound, Genryusai Maki collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from her forehead where the flower-shaped fan had struck her. Trembling, she reached out and said, "Mai Shiranui... is an amateur..."

She then fainted amidst Mai Shiranui's embarrassed expression.

As Genryusai Maki collapsed, Gen Chen turned his gaze to Mai Shiranui behind him.

Feeling Yuan Chen's aggressive gaze, Mai Shiranui felt a wave of pressure, but then she remembered that there was still one ninjutsu she hadn't used.

Although she secretly practiced that move alone during training, and the mere thought of using it made her feel extremely ashamed, she only secretly learned it to make herself more beautiful and charming...

But now, in order to prove herself and restore her dignity as the senior sister of the Shiranui school!

Come! Fall for my charm!

Holding a folding fan, Mai Shiranui bent slightly at the waist, revealing her voluptuous cleavage with a touch of shyness. Her strength surged, but she didn't launch an attack. Instead, her already alluring peach blossom eyes instantly became like ripples on water—

The next moment, Mai Shiranui clearly saw the outline of a giant python appear on the inside of Yuan Chen's pants.

Realizing something, Mai Shiranui's eyes widened in an instant, her charming peach blossom eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

This... I'll die, won't I?

At that moment, Mai Shiranui clearly realized that her ninjutsu charm technique had succeeded.

But witnessing the flag-raising ceremony firsthand, Mai Shiranui's naive and innocent heart was also deeply shaken—

Although Yuan Chen was indeed affected, he was able to recover relatively quickly.

The upper and lower body areas belong to two separate systems that do not interfere with each other. Therefore, Yuan Chen only experienced abnormal activity in some limbs, while his fists and mind remained completely unaffected.

Seeing clearly for the first time things that she had only seen in textbooks before, and their size and shape far exceeding what the textbooks described, Mai Shiranui, whose thoughts had momentarily stopped, was obviously more intensely affected.

Can seductive arts really be deflected?

Demon Orb, you're so powerful!!

Before Mai Shiranui could react, a fist the size of a clay pot landed squarely on her head, which she had offered to him.

"Ugh!!"

Having regained some strength through the golden flames attached to Yuan Chen's fist, she opened her eyes again and watched as Mai Shiranui suddenly bent over in the middle of the battle, throwing a flirtatious glance at Yuan Chen and showing off her cleavage. Then she was stunned by Yuan Chen's... well, you know. Before she could even react, Yuan Chen punched her away...

"Mai... she really is an idiot, isn't she?" Genryusai Maki couldn't help but retort.

Seeing Mai Shiranui's eyes roll back after being beaten, Yuan Chen shrugged at Genryusai Maki who was standing to the side.

Perhaps.

As Yuan Chen turned to the side and looked at the raised flag, Genryusai Maki was first stunned, then suddenly felt that it was quite understandable for the ball to show a mental lapse in this respect...

"..."

Seeing Genryusai Maki's stunned expression, Gen Chen glanced down at her and then performed his signature move.

One fatal shot, and the effect is immediate.

After the treatment, Yuan Chen subconsciously activated his life energy to restore his health, lest the Demon Orb leave any lingering effects.

However, he forgot that his life energy had already transformed into golden flames, and he only made one serving of golden roasted chicken on the spot.

As it recovered, the value of its life energy seemed to expand further. The restless fire python roared, "Help me break the cauldron!" and was about to break free from the constraints of its jeans to do what it had to do!

Speechless, Yuan Chen simply grabbed the martial arts uniform next to him, wrapped it around his waist to simply block out the sight and avoid the trouble, too lazy to care.

"Please forgive me during my adolescence."

"……Oh."

Upon hearing this, Genryusai Maki, snapping out of her daze, realized that she had been staring at him for a while. She subconsciously turned her head and scratched her face, looking embarrassed and unsure of how to respond.

Yuan Chen, on the other hand, seemed quite nonchalant and didn't take it to heart at all.

People are prone to restlessness during adolescence. Sometimes, even when doing nothing but attending class, they will inexplicably look up. Moreover, Yuan Chen, as a martial artist, also possesses the special energy of life energy... With more experience, he naturally gets used to it.

After fastening his martial arts uniform around his waist, Yuan Chen then approached Mai Shiranui.

Although the fists are imbued with golden flames, the more you punch, the faster you recover, which allows Mai Shiranui and Maki Minamoto to serve as sparring partners for extended periods.

But to prevent a mark from being left on her handsome face, Yuan Chen deliberately activated his golden flames and sprayed them onto Mai Shiranui's face.

The thick golden flames covered her face and slowly burned. Before long, Mai Shiranui's face returned to normal, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Then she saw Yuan Chen squatting in front of her and smearing golden flames on her face.

Well, that's alright. Mai Shiranui could probably guess that Yuan Chen was treating her.

The problem is that, as she squats, the area formed by the bottom of her training clothes wrapped around her waist comes into view. The faint outline is like a giant python sinking into the deep sea, half-concealing its face while holding a pipa. In addition to feeling ashamed, Mai Shiranui can't help but let out a soft hum.

"Hmph, even though you hit really hard, you were still captivated by my charm after all!"

"I don't know what you're so proud of... getting sent flying that far."

Seeing Mai Shiranui's smug look, Maki Genryusai could only helplessly retort.

Although the body could be healed in time by the nourishment of the golden flames, the continuous battle that required her to concentrate still left Genryusai Maki feeling mentally exhausted.

After gulping down her water, Genryusai Maki walked over to the two of them and suggested, "Let's rest for a while. Although I'm not physically tired, my concentration is a bit numb after concentrating for so long."

“Let’s take a break then, and we can also discuss our experiences and takeaways.” Yuan Chen nodded, and then reached out to Genryusai Maki.

This startled Genryusai Maki slightly. She then realized that Genchen was asking her for water. She was momentarily dazed, but then she didn't look away and pretended to be indifferent as she looked at him.

The screw-top bottle has a capacity of 1.5 liters, and Yuan Chen gulped down half of it in one go.

Because this was how it had always been done when sparring with Zhu Li and Chun Li, Yuan Chen had gotten used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he passed it on to Shiranui Mai.

After taking the water glass, Mai Shiranui did not drink it. Instead, she looked at Genjiro with a suspicious expression, who had a calm face, and Genjiro Maki, who stood to the side and stubbornly refused to meet her gaze.

Seeing Genryusai Maki's reaction, Shiranui Mai also hummed a few times, then took out a tissue to wipe her drinking sip, and looked at Yuan Chen, grumbling, "I saw you fall under my charm spell, don't think you can take advantage of me easily—unless you call me good senior sister!"

“If you don’t drink, I will…” Yuan Chen shrugged.

Mai Shiranui rolled her eyes and started drinking large amounts of water.

In continuous battles, physical strength is depleted, but the consumption of water and nutrients is equally severe.

Mai Shiranui went to the kitchen and retrieved some chilled pastries. She then sat down, looking curiously at Yuan Chen, and asked as she ate:

"Speaking of which, we're both using the Bone Fist technique, so why does yours seem a bit stronger than mine? You're the one who just started learning, aren't you?"

"Is it because the technology is used differently?" Upon hearing this, Genryusai Maki, who was standing nearby, also became interested.

"Nothing is different, and there's no new technology; it's just about learning and using it."

Upon hearing their questions, Yuan Chen picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and then his eyes lit up slightly as he said, "It tastes good. Where did you buy it?"

"Hehe, I made it myself! Not bad, right!" Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui said with a proud look on her face, as if she had received some praise. "I have loved cooking since I was a child, and now I am in charge of Grandpa's tea snacks and all three meals a day at the Shiranui Dojo!"

"Isn't it just you and Grandpa Hanzo in the dojo..." Genryusai Maki complained.

Yuan Chen, on the other hand, nodded thoughtfully, quickly finished his pastry, and said, "I also have some experience in cooking. We can discuss it sometime."

Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui's eyes flashed, and she found a new angle to re-examine her dignity as the senior sister!

Hmph, get ready to kneel at my feet and beg me to cook for you every day, hahaha~

Looking at Mai Shiranui, who suddenly smiled confidently, Yuan Chen sighed for no reason.

But then she heard someone sigh along with her. Turning around, she met Genryusai Maki's eyes. The two of them shrugged, unsure how to evaluate Mai Shiranui's liveliness, innocence, and enthusiasm.

Thinking this, Yuan Chen turned his attention back to martial arts and said, "Actually, there are no other techniques, just simple basic skills."

"Basic skills?" Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui snapped out of her daze and asked curiously, "Is it the Bone Fist style?"

In response, Yuan Chen shook his head: "No, it's just the simplest basic skills. Such as soft skills, hard skills, stance skills... fists, palms, hooks, horse stance, bunt stance, kicks, backbends, and the like, basic skills."

Hearing what Yuan Chen said, Mai Shiranui was slightly puzzled and couldn't help but say, "But aren't these all very basic things?"
