Super Fighting Tokyo.

Li Ren demonstrated by slapping his palm against his thigh, producing a crisp sound—

Snapped!

This sound was similar to the sound of Liu Longguang's empty palm striking someone's face.

Even the unconscious Tokita Ohma twitched his ears upon hearing the voice.

……Snapped!

In a daze, Wang Ma seemed to have been struck by an empty palm once again.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the ward, but it seemed that he was in a state of "sleep paralysis" and could not move or even make a sound.

"..."

Before Wang Ma's eyes flashed Liu Longguang's cold face, and a familiar whisper echoed in his mind.

"Wang Ma, you can't win now, you'll only be killed by him!"

? !

Wang Ma's eyes darted around, his pupils bloodshot, staring intently at the person beside him.

Beside the hospital bed stood a long-haired middle-aged man, looking down at her with a faint smile.

That man was none other than Oma's master, the man who taught Oma the "Niko-ryu" style, and also a deceased man—Tokita Niko!

"Incredible, isn't it? Of course, this is just your imagination; other people can't see it."

Erhu got up and paced back and forth in the ward.

He passed by Shiraki Sei, Yuji Katsumi, Gaolang, and Retsukai-oh, and finally returned to the illusion of Ryu Ryu-kwang, showing those people to Ohma one by one.

"You can't beat them right now because you haven't become the person you used to be."

"But once you turn back, what awaits you is true 'death'."

"Do you want to shed your shackles? What awaits you might be an endless hell?"

"..."

The words of his deceased master echoed in Wang Ma's ears, and the stimulation from the memory of the empty palm caused Wang Ma's whole body to tremble violently, making the entire hospital bed creak.

"He's just spouting nonsensical nonsense..."

Wang Ma took a deep breath, suddenly sat up in bed, and shouted sharply, "Disappear, Erhu!!"

This loud shout startled everyone else in the ward.

"Wow!"

Wu Fengshui nudged Bai Mucheng with his elbow, "Look, what an excited person he is!"

Bai Mucheng: "Indeed."

Wu Fengshui added, "Being able to see the people in one's mind already shows an imagination beyond that of ordinary people."

Shiramu Cheng: "...Indeed."

"..."

Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui chatted back and forth, occasionally exchanging a few jokes.

Wang Ma was already emotionally agitated, and recalling the humiliating defeat of the previous night and the mockery from his opponents, he couldn't help but feel angry and his emotions almost spiraled out of control.

He jumped out of bed with a whoosh, threw on some clothes, and was about to set off to seek revenge on the middle-aged man.

"..."

At this moment, Katsumi Oji reached out to stop him, and said with a smile, "Brother, my friend is about to go make lunch. Why don't you eat before you leave?"

Wang Ma knew this was a friendly invitation and was about to politely decline when a sudden impulse welled up inside him, which then transformed into a surging fighting spirit.

He stared intently at Katsumi, his eyes wide, and said, "You want to fight me too?"

"Well……"

Katsumi raised an eyebrow, scratched his head, and chuckled dryly, "Is this a provocation? But you seem to be a bit confused."

Katsumi was struggling with how to appease her when suddenly a figure flashed by—

Snapped.

With a gentle chop to the back of Wang Ma's neck, a "thud" was heard, and the conscious Wang Ma fell unconscious again.

Immediately, a familiar middle-aged man's voice came through.

"Wow, this guy's fighting spirit is terrifying! Is he the guy who challenged us and he's already in the hospital room?"

Yu Di Dubu poked his head out.

He withdrew his hand, still holding the gifts in his other hand, and glanced around the room with his one eye, laughing, "So, who's this young man going to challenge? Sorry, I beat him to it!"

"..."

Katsumi paused for a moment, then stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "Dad, this is also a wounded soldier who was attacked, but he's a bit agitated."

Doppa: "..."

Doppa: "..."

Doppa: "..."

He picked up the unconscious Wang Ma, gently placed him back on the hospital bed, covered him with a blanket, and then made a "shh" gesture to the others, blushing slightly.

"Everyone, let's forget what just happened and pretend nothing occurred~~~"

……

……

When Wang Ma woke up again, it was already lunchtime.

He wasn't quite sure why he suddenly wanted to challenge the "strongest person in front of him".

He had no idea how he had just fainted; perhaps his injuries from last night hadn't healed yet?

Regardless, the medicinal cuisine prepared by that "Sea King" did indeed taste very good and helped restore physical strength.

"..."

After having lunch, Wang Ma thanked everyone in the ward and then left in silence.

And after he walked out of the hospital—

At the street corner, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair suddenly called out to Wang Ma.

The middle-aged man was accompanied by a female secretary and a middle-aged employee.

The middle-aged employee was sweating profusely with nervousness, as if he still didn't understand why he was there.

Wang Ma recognized the middle-aged employee's face; they had met briefly the previous night and overheard him chatting at lunch. It seemed his name was "Yamashita Kazuo".

"Nice to meet you, Tokita Ohma."

The middle-aged man at the head of the group shook hands with Ohma. "I am Nogi Hideki, the president of the Nogi Group. The other two are Akiyama Kaede and Yamashita Kazuo."

"So, have you heard of Kengan Sports?"

"..."

The path of destiny known as [Asura] has begun to quietly extend.

……

……

Inside a hospital ward.

Katsumi Oji sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, looking at Doppo Oji who had come to visit him. "Hey old man, do you think I can't tell? Stop keeping me in suspense, what's the latest news?"

"Katsumi, you've learned to read people's expressions now!"

Upon hearing this, Dubu laughed and said leisurely, "I've found Dorian's hideout."

Shiraki Cheng sensed the hidden meaning in Doppo's words and asked expectantly, "And then?"

Doppo grinned. "He's not here, so I left him a letter—a challenge."

Chapter 208 Challenge

"I left him a letter—a challenge to a duel."

Yu Di Du Bu smiled leisurely.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the ward blinked, momentarily unable to comprehend it, the words echoing repeatedly in their minds—

A duel? A battle? A letter?

"Oh--?"

As a member of the Thai royal family, King Ralma XIII is very interested in foreign cultures, so he clapped his hands with delight and asked, "I've heard of it, is it like the kind of thing in samurai movies?"

In contrast, Katsumi Yuji looked rather helpless, pouting and teasing, "Hey Dad, are you still going with that retro stuff? It's all outdated!"

Yuji Doppo drank his beer without looking up. "Hey kid, I like it this way, what's it to you?"

……

……

Beside the bustling commercial street, there is a quiet alley with a manhole cover at the end.

Lift the manhole cover, drop down several meters, and then follow the sewer all the way, turning a few corners. After a total distance of several hundred meters, you will arrive at a "secret base".

The facility had all the essential supplies available, including beds, medical supplies, drinking water, and canned goods.

Decades ago, this place was originally a refuge, but it was later abandoned and is now Dorian's "hiding place".

However, today, when Dorian returned to this residence, he found a letter in a conspicuous place on the bed, on which was written the word "challenge".

Upon opening it, the contents were quite simple—
