Through previous phone calls, Kaiya had already learned about Bai Mucheng's needs and had specially compiled some information.

This includes a list of essential supplies, survival tips for war-torn areas, and specific intelligence about the inner city, etc.

Kaiya got up to get the documents.

The remaining three, Shiraki Sho, Retsu Kaioh, and Honbu Izo, sat around on the floor of the dojo and chatted.

Naturally, the conversation turned to the big events of last night—

Yujiro accepted Baki's challenge.

About five years ago, when Baki was 13 years old, he fought against Yujiro Hanma and ended up suffering a crushing defeat, even losing his mother.

"..."

Retsukaioh stroked his chin and said seriously, "Undoubtedly, Baki Hanma has become stronger."

He recalled: "Tasting love, crossing the line of death, first he instantly killed 'Aquaman', and then he showed overwhelming strength in a battle with Ali Jr."

"The stage he used to be on is no longer worthy of him."

At this point, Lie Haiwang glanced at Bai Mucheng, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

With his arms crossed, Benbu Zang clicked his tongue and said, "To be honest, I really have no power to take the head of the [strongest creature on earth]."

Just then, Kaiya returned with the folder, smiling and agreeing, "Teacher, you're right."

The commander's lips curled down in a smirk as he complained, "Give me a little encouragement! That's too much!"

"..."

Kaiya handed the folder to Shiraki Cheng.

"Most of what you want to know is in the catalog. You can search for it as needed. Some of the information is rare secrets, but I don't know if it will be useful."

Kaiya sat down cross-legged and casually said, "Oh right, and there's one more important point—"

Swish!

Before he could finish speaking, Kaiya suddenly made his move, his right fist swiftly deflecting upwards, a long nail hidden between his index and middle fingers, and slashing towards Bai Mucheng.

Whoosh!

Bai Mucheng dodged with a tilt of his head, seemingly unfazed.

"Ha ha……"

Kaiya smiled, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "This is what I wanted to remind you: anything can happen in the lawless zone."

Bai Mucheng nodded his thanks.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Kaiya made another move.

Using his left leg and left elbow to brace himself on the ground, he turned sideways and kicked forward with his right leg, aiming for Bai Mucheng's head as a second sneak attack.

Swish!

Shiraki Cheng remained expressionless, shifting from a cross-legged position to a squatting one, pressing down with his left wrist, and using his left elbow to smash open Kaiya's leg.

He then twisted his waist and turned around, delivering a backhand punch that landed steadily in front of Kaiya, creating a powerful gust of wind.

wow...

Kaiya squinted as the force of the punch blew through his eyes, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Retsukaioh and Izou of the main body glanced sideways, carefully observing this scene. The actions of Shiraki Cheng flashed through their minds one after another, and their pupils contracted slightly.

Shiraki complained jokingly, "That's so mean, Kaiya bro!"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Kaiya genuinely smiled this time.

The two stopped what they were doing and returned to sitting on the ground.

Kaiya rubbed her face and thanked Shiraki, "Thank goodness you stopped in time, otherwise my face would have been swollen."

"..."

After a moment's pause, Kaiya asked with some confusion, "So, what are you going to do in the inner city? Are you really going to become a champion of justice and fight against criminals?"

Shiraki Cheng thought for a moment, "Is it for the sake of battle...?"

Headquarters chuckled and interjected, "It'll be difficult!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng weighed the folder in his hand and said, "Indeed, these things are much more difficult than I expected."

Or perhaps—

Shiraki suddenly grinned and complained, "Training is too hard! And fighting is too hard too!"

"...??"

Upon hearing this, the other three widened their eyes, as if question marks were appearing above their heads.

What does it mean?

Bai Mucheng, who has fought so hard all this time, actually complained publicly that training and fighting are too difficult??

But Shiramu Cheng nodded frankly, then lowered his gaze and explained:

“But ‘difficult’ doesn’t mean ‘hate’. I don’t hate difficulties.”

"..."

The three raised their eyebrows, waiting for Bai Mu to continue.

Shiramu Cheng put the folder down and then slowly clenched his fist.

"If you want to know 'what it means to be strong,' I think you must 'face' a strong enemy, that is, you must always stand in front of a strong enemy."

"I want to do the 'right' thing!"

Bai Mu rested his hands on his knees and sighed softly.

"And throughout history, the 'right' thing has always been the hardest to do."

"It's harder to achieve a beautiful figure through exercise than to become obese."

"It's harder to live a beautiful or handsome life than to be slovenly."

"Thinking more, verifying more... such people also experience a lot of worries in life."

"The 'right' things are often the 'most difficult,' which also means that there is 'power' involved!"

Bai Mucheng smiled and said, "I want to know 'what it means to be strong,' so I must do the 'right' thing and find my 'path' in it!"

"This is not a slogan, or something for justice, but a way of exploring 'what it means to be strong'..."

"..."

Bai Mucheng nodded his thanks again, then got up to take his leave.

After Bai Mucheng left, the three people in the dojo recalled his departing figure, and couldn't help but cross their arms and tilt their heads in a sigh:

"He's gotten stronger too, Brother Shiraki..."

"It has indeed become stronger."

"He's moving forward, so what should we do?"

"..."

……

That afternoon.

Katahara Metsudo called, contacting the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts School and informing them of the investigation information regarding the key card.

is good news.

The old man chuckled, "Currently, only the key cards for the 'Four Turtles' entrances and exits are missing; the owners of the rest have all been found."

Wu Fengshui nodded, "So, after removing the one that Shiraki has, the Kengan Association only has one key card left that they haven't obtained?"

Katahara Metsudo paused, then changed the subject, "...No, the Kengan Association didn't get a single key card."

Wu Fengshui: "..."

Wu Fengshui: "Huh?"

Mie Tang sighed helplessly, "Because those guys who possess the key cards are all like your Bai Mu, they are incredibly arrogant and powerful individuals."

"They will never give up easily, so they each have their own plans, and I can't persuade them."

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Fengshui glanced at Bai Mucheng, then looked at Bai Mucheng's packed backpack and supplies.

The girl pouted helplessly, "That seems to be true!"

"Well, in short, I've also invited some helpers. Feel free to contact me if you need anything, don't hesitate!"

After giving a few instructions, Mie Tang hung up the phone.

……

……

the next day.

Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui agreed on a time, then Bai Mucheng shouldered his packed bag and backpack and set off alone, heading straight for their travel destination.

Licheng.

Chapter 427 Facing the Difficulties!

It was early morning in late autumn.

Bai Mucheng packed his bags, made arrangements with his family, and embarked on the next leg of his journey, heading straight for his destination—Licheng.
