Super Fighting Tokyo.

That night, night fell.

Shiraki Sho, Wu Fengshui, Yusa, Maruk, Himuro Ryo—

The five remained gathered near the exit of the Three Wolves, using the tent camp left behind by the villains to rest and light a campfire.

The firewood crackled and popped as it burned.

"..."

Himuro Ryo went to the black market and bought some beef and seasonings. The group then gathered together to barbecue it for dinner that night.

Fresh beef, cooked using the right techniques, is very juicy when grilled, or perhaps it's oil or something similar—it's so juicy it's practically dripping.

Shiramu used a knife to pick up a large piece, opened his mouth and bit down with a "crunch," tearing the meat apart with his teeth and chewing it bite by bite.

The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, prompting him to slap his thigh and exclaim, "Mmm! So delicious!"

Everyone else also thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Especially Yusa, who even had several cans of soda in her bag, clearly intending to use the city as a "camping trip" and have a great time.

"..."

Himuro Ryo looked at Yusa and blinked. "For a high school student, her mentality is really impressive. No wonder she's from the Shiraki family."

Then, Himuro Ryo looked at the other two, namely Wu Fengshui and Maruk.

The former's black eyes with white pupils indicate that the girl comes from the Wu clan, and her strength goes without saying;

The latter, though he speaks in a dull manner, is clearly quite strong, judging from his physique and movements.

But if we're talking about the strongest, it really has to be him—

【Fighting Spirit】Bai Mucheng.

Whenever he recalls that day, those "invisible punches" that Shiraki Cheng unleashed, Himuro Ryo can't help but swallow hard.

"..."

At the same time, Shiraki Cheng was eating meat while also reminiscing.

[Wave Strike] —

This is Master Long's move, derived from his fighting style which originated from assassination boxing.

But as Ryu said, even the same fighting moves will produce different effects when used by different people.

Ryu's move involves condensing "ki" in his palm and releasing it forward to create a close-range "wave".

Shiramu Cheng's method involves using a solid stance to manifest that "invisible energy," making the opponent realize that they have been hit.

This is not some kind of science fiction "ultimate move," but rather a "summary" of one's own stance.

Strike...

Today, Shiraki Cheng can only make his "stance" itself appear offensive, but that's all he can do; he can't do anything more.

But there must be something else that exists beyond the "strike"!

The realm that exists "beyond striking" is also the realm that exists "beyond striking"—

Road!

"..."

Thinking of this, Bai Mucheng began to tremble, and a few drops of sweat involuntarily rolled down his cheeks.

Long once told him, "I've found the answer I've been searching for all along; it's a watershed moment for me."

However, I will continue to move forward.

Bai Mucheng looked at his right hand, slowly clenching it into a fist. "Yes, continue forward from the watershed, continue to explore..."

……

……

The firewood crackled and emitted a warm glow, creating a sense of tranquility and lightness.

The night in the inner city wasn't bad.

"..."

Wu Fengshui leaned against Bai Mucheng's shoulder, his black eyes blinking rapidly.

The girl played with her pistol while grinning and said, "I've never taken a commission from the inner city before. This is my first time here, and it feels pretty good!"

Himuro Ryo smiled faintly, "If no one causes trouble, everywhere will be fine, right?"

"But indeed, although the Three Wolves District has many experts and its overall strength is among the top, it is actually less chaotic and evil because there are no multi-party battles."

"The two gangs with relatively better security in the inner city are 'Three Wolves' and 'Eight Eagles'."

"The most chaotic are probably the Six Insects and Ten Ghost Snakes, where no single force is dominant, so they fight each other all the time."

Himuro Ryo crossed his arms and began to share the information he knew.

"Recently, it seems that several 'outsiders' have been making a big splash at other entrances to the inner city, causing quite a stir."

“If I need more specific information, I can talk to my ‘friend’ in Sanlang.”

"That man's name is 'Zhang,' he's from South Korea, his nickname is 'General,' and he used to be a mercenary."

"The reason why the security in the Three Wolves area is relatively stable is because the General's faction has suppressed the others and made this place his kingdom."

"..."

The other four listened quietly, treating it as a campfire chat, and all found it very interesting.

Just then, Wu Fengshui's phone rang.

Upon picking it up, I discovered it was a video call from Katahara Metsudo, the "President of the Kengan Association," indicating there was some new information.

"..."

When the call connected, the old man on the other end of the screen was still smiling. His thin face was full of energy, and his long beard was neatly trimmed.

"Hehe, Little Feng Shui, you should be in the inner city by now, right? Oh! You've already met up with Bai Mu!"

Katahara Metsudo smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"I have quite a few interesting news on my side!"

"First, there's the missing president of Penasonic Electronics, 'Kukizo Urada,' and his fighter, 'Ryo Inaba.'"

"—The two of them have been found and brought to my place to avoid the trouble for now."

Katahara Metsudo turned his phone around and pointed the camera at the side.

There were two people sitting over there: one was a thin young man with long hair named "Inaba Ryo," and the other was a young man in a suit wearing glasses.

He is Urata, the president of Penasonic Electronics, and also the creator of the Satoshi Key Card.

"...Hello, Mr. Shiraki."

Uwata is not old; he is a young man, about the same age as Inaba Ryo.

He greeted Bai Mucheng, then got straight to the point and bowed his head sincerely.

“I’m sorry to have dragged you into this entanglement with an international criminal organization. At the time, I was on the run from being hunted down and thought I was going to die, so I asked Inaba Ryo to take the key card with me.”

"Unexpectedly, even Inaba Ryo couldn't hide it. In the end, we had no choice but to find a powerful person and temporarily distribute the key cards to different locations..."

Guada tried his best to explain, but he had caused a lot of trouble for innocent people, so he was prepared to be scolded by Shiraki.

But to Urida's surprise, Shiraki Shigeki smiled happily, "You've provided a good opportunity, Mr. Urida."

Guatian, "...huh?"

He and Inaba Ryo were stunned on the spot, while Katahara Metsudo laughed even more happily.

"Hehehe, I knew it! Those fighters aren't the type to shy away from trouble, otherwise why would they volunteer to fight?"

"Speaking of which, Guada, you were almost chased and killed, and you were fighting desperately!"

Katahara Mitsudo leaned on his cane, his expression serious and his voice deep.

"Finally, the battle in the melon field came to an end—"

"The villains in the inner city, who should have launched a city-wide riot, were stopped by 'multiple martial artists' near the various exits and were forced to temporarily retreat."

"I sent people to investigate today and learned about the situation at the other entrances. Would you like to take a look at the newly released video footage?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng and the other four quickly moved closer.

Himuro Ryo took out a map of the inner city, a satellite photo from two days ago, which was relatively accurate and could be used as a reference.

……

……

The map was spread out on the stone slab.

On Katahara Metsudo's side, the screen switched to another large screen, which also displayed a map.

Among them, the entrance to the Three Wolves Street is the one that corresponds to [Fighting Spirit] Bai Mucheng.

Diagonally opposite the Three Wolves, in the "Six Insects District," a name that everyone was very familiar with appeared—

【Demon Gun】Kuroki Gensai.

"I hired Kuroki to help the Kengan Association, also for the sake of maintaining order outside. It's not good to do business if things get chaotic."

Katahara Metsudo explained, and had someone click on Kuroki's video.

"..."

The once-neat concrete passageway was now riddled with hundreds of holes pierced by a "stab," and occasionally stained with blood.

【Demon Spear】Kuroki Gensai stands alone at the entrance of the passage, striking a cat-like stance in the "Strange Arm Style Karate".

His fingertips were stained with the blood of other villains, but his body was covered in only a little dust.

In front of Kuroki, there is a line drawn with toes, symbolizing an insurmountable boundary.

What a martial arts master! No one dares to take another step forward!
