One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"Competitions in this world are really just like that. If you can win, you fight; if you can't, you run; if you can't run away, you call for backup."

"That's right, that's right, Master Lingyu, you don't need to worry about that. On the contrary, you have Second Master."

"It's better to get some more sleep than to have kung fu skills."

Wang Ye yawned, already wearing an eye mask and lying down, ready for a good night's sleep.

"Haha, Old Wang is right. Junior Uncle, you've been staying in the mountains for too long, and you're prone to getting emo. This trip is a good opportunity to relax and clear your head."

"Here, have a potato chip. Open your mouth, ah..."

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he stuffed potato chips into Zhang Lingyu's mouth.

"No! I'll do it myself."

"Oh, don't be shy, Junior Uncle, let me feed you."

"You...you stay away..."

"Hahahahaha."

As everyone teased him, Zhang Lingyu's tense expression completely relaxed.

With a roar of engines, the plane accelerated down the runway and soared into the sky.

They flew towards that foreign land where a great upheaval was about to occur.

Chapter 322 Master, can't you just follow these rules?

at the same time.

Tokyo, Japan.

It is located in an old manor in Chiyoda Ward, covering a vast area and featuring a strong traditional Japanese style.

The sliding doors to the main hall were wide open.

Two people were sitting upright on the tatami mats inside the room.

If Zhang Tianyi were to see these two people's faces, he would definitely offer his warmest greetings to these two "old friends."

One of them was dressed in a black hunting robe and held a folding fan in his hand.

The other one was dressed in a loose haori, with an ancient long sword beside him.

These two were none other than the Yin-Yang Dao giants who had escaped from beneath Changbai Mountain's Heavenly Lake by destroying their paper doll clones—

Abe Shigeaki! Nobuyuki Kamo!

But strangely enough...

At this moment, the signs of decay and old age that once indicated someone was half-buried in the ground were no longer visible on their faces.

Her previously loose skin became firm, and some black hair began to grow back from her gray hair.

Judging from their appearance, these two look decades younger!

Before them, five young men and women knelt respectfully.

These five people were not wearing uniform clothing, but the energy fluctuations emanating from each of them were astonishingly profound.

He is even stronger than Tsuchimikado Ryosuke, who died in Changbai Mountain!

This is the top team selected by the Japanese side, drawing on the resources of the three major families!

"Children."

Abe Shigeaki held a cup of tea in his hand, and his voice was no longer as hoarse as before, but rather conveyed a sense of composure.

He looked at the five young people in front of him with a kind and amiable smile, just like a loving grandfather watching his younger generation grow up.

"This exchange match is a crucial battle for the Japanese martial arts community to re-establish its position on the world stage."

Abe Shigeaki spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable force:

“The contestants from all countries are geniuses selected from among thousands. But you are the elites I personally selected and personally trained.”

"Don't feel pressured, just go for it."

A young man resembling a swordsman, kneeling in the very center, lowered his head, his tone filled with fervent respect:

"Please rest assured, Lord Abe! For the honor of our family, even if we are shattered to pieces, we will definitely win the first prize and keep the [Longevity Elixir] on our homeland!"

Kamo no Nobuyuki nodded in satisfaction from the side.

He picked up the teapot and personally poured some tea for the young men.

"It's good to have this ambition."

He Maoxin earnestly instructed:

"However, things can change in an instant on the field. If you encounter an opponent you can't beat, preserving your life should be your top priority."

"Especially... the teams from China."

When the word "China" was mentioned, Nobuyuki Kamo and Shigeaki Abe exchanged a glance.

A hidden, cold glint flashed in both of their eyes at the same time.

"The strength of the Chinese team should not be underestimated. You must be careful on the field."

Abe Shigeaki maintained his kind expression and softly instructed:

"We're holding this competition for friendship and exchange, not to create enmity. Understand?"

"Hey! We'll keep your teachings in mind!" the five young people replied in unison.

"Alright, go and get ready. The competition is about to officially begin, so get some rest."

Abe Shigeaki waved his hand.

After the five spirited young men left, they closed the wooden door.

Silence returned to the room.

Until the footsteps could no longer be heard.

The kind smile on Abe Shigeaki's face gradually faded, turning into an unyielding and profound sorrow.

He silently picked up the teapot on the table and took the third empty teacup.

Fill the cup with tea.

Then, he picked up the cup of tea with both hands, his eyes slightly red, and solemnly poured the tea slowly onto the empty tatami mat beside him.

"Brother Daoyuan..."

Abe Shigeaki's voice trembled slightly, revealing a deep sense of heartache and regret:

"Have a sip of hot tea from home."

Sitting opposite him, Kamo no Nobuyuki also closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

He touched his cheeks, which had regained their firmness, but instead of being overjoyed, he slammed his fist hard on the low table.

boom!

"How hateful! How hateful!"

Kamo no Nobuyuki gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with grief and indignation:

"Dao Yuan fought alone on Nasen Island until his life-life lamp went out, without sending back even the slightest message."

"He left us cleanly, without even leaving a last word!"

These three giants, who have controlled the Japanese underworld for a century, are ruthless to outsiders, but in private they are friends who would risk their lives for each other.

We are of the same blood and share the same fate, honor and disgrace.

Abe Shigeaki looked at the damp tea on the ground and shook his head bitterly.

"Brother Daoyuan is risking his life to find the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief for us, hoping to find a way out for us old bones."

"But who could have imagined that fate would play such a cruel trick..."

Abe Shigeaki raised his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, a mixture of fear and madness.

"He had just died on the island."

"Back foot..."

Upon hearing this, Kamo no Nobuyuki's eyes darkened.

"Hmph! Nathan Island has such means that Dao Yuan couldn't send back a single message. I can't think of anyone else but that person."

"Zhang Tianyi..."

"Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon."

Abe Shigeaki stood up, walked to the edge of the courtyard corridor, and looked at the light drizzle outside.

"Brother Daoyuan, watch over us from the underworld."

"This time we'll show him what it truly means to be 'unable to escape even if you grow wings'!"

The deer in the courtyard were once again filled with rainwater.

"Clap."

The crisp knocking sound echoed in the desolate rainy night, like a countdown to death.

......

Tokyo, Akihabara.

As night fell, this world-famous anime and electronics district was completely illuminated.

The giant, multicolored neon signs were dazzling.

Various anime theme songs and game sound effects wafted out from the shops along the street, creating a noisy sea of ​​sounds.

"Master! Slow down! Wait for us!"

Zhang Chulan had an instant camera hanging around his neck and was carrying two oversized shopping bags printed with anime girls in each hand.

He was dodging and weaving through the crowded throng.
