The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

Bang handed a brand new ticket to King. As an authority in the martial arts world, the organizers of the martial arts tournament would certainly give Bang face.

Moreover, King is currently a rising star, and the organizers hope that he can participate in this martial arts tournament to further boost the tournament's popularity.

"Ah."

King took the ticket and looked down at it for a moment.

and many more.

Something seems off.

King squinted, carefully observing the contents.

Those weren't ordinary competition tickets, but rather admission tickets for guests.

Generally speaking, only authorities in the martial arts world are qualified to be participants.

This surprised King, who had originally planned to participate on his own, but Bang misunderstood him and arranged for him to be a guest.

"With Mr. King joining us, this year's martial arts tournament will be even more splendid!"

Bang said with a smile,

"The guest seats are very close to the ring, which makes it convenient for you, Mr. King, to observe the match up close."

"Um....."

King nodded. Although it was quite different from what he had expected, as a guest, appearing in public should still boost his reputation.

"Also, if Mr. King has some free time, why not stay for lunch?"

Bang said he wanted to give King a proper welcome.

"Ah."

King nodded.

Receiving such a warm welcome from an S-class hero was something King never even dared to dream of.

Soon, Chalan brought a variety of carefully prepared dishes to the two of them.

These were all exquisite dishes that Bang and Chalan had prepared in advance.

Roast chicken, sushi, steak, and all sorts of other dishes were served in front of King. The dazzling array of food could whet anyone's appetite.

Knowing that King was coming, they prepared to entertain him with the highest honors. However, they did not know what kind of food King liked, so they prepared all sorts of dishes.

They had no idea that King usually ordered takeout every day, eating fries and burgers while drinking cola and soda, and when he was struggling financially, he basically relied on instant noodles.

King hadn't expected Bang to prepare such a lavish lunch, so he picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a chicken leg, and put it in his mouth.

The slightly charred crispy skin bursts in your mouth, and the tender, juicy chicken can be easily torn apart with your teeth. The slightly salty taste of the marinated chicken blends with the sweetness of the seasonings, dancing freely on King's tongue.

Just lying next to the chicken leg were several pieces of roasted mushrooms, their skins already crispy and slightly sweet. But the moment King closed his jaws, he felt the softness and elasticity inside the mushrooms, and the warm juices burst open and flowed into his mouth.

King nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze to the sushi next to him.

Different colored sushi gathers together like a rainbow, with various high-quality ingredients lying on top of rice wrapped in seaweed. Warm water flows through the gaps in the tightly packed rice, presumably its flavor has penetrated into it. White salad dressing and red tomato sauce form interlaced stripes on the sushi.

This is a hand roll, which is difficult to hold with chopsticks. King gently picked up a piece of sushi, supporting it with his other hand to prevent the rice from falling.

The sushi has an extremely soft texture, like a young girl's delicate skin.

Tiny black pearl-like spheres are scattered haphazardly on top of white rice, creating a strange, staggered beauty. Although their outer skin is black, it is crystal clear, allowing light to penetrate their thin surface—it is caviar.

King popped half a sushi into his mouth, his teeth clenched, and dozens of tiny, pearl-like fish roe burst on his tongue. The slightly salty juice broke free of the skin and spread wildly throughout his mouth. The warm rice, with its subtle sweetness, perfectly balanced the saltiness of the fish roe. The sound of his teeth grinding together, like paper-thin seaweed snapping, echoed in his mouth.

Without a doubt, this is also an excellent dish.

"Mr. King, how does it taste?"

Bang and Chalan watched King's expression nervously, afraid that their lack of manners would displease him.

"good."

King replied.

A joyful smile immediately appeared on Chalanzi's face. For her, all the previous efforts had been worthwhile.

Within an hour, King and Bang had finished their lunch.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I have some things to take care of this afternoon, so I'll be leaving now."

King wiped his mouth and said slowly.

King had already resolved the martial arts tournament issue and just wanted to get home as soon as possible to experience the other storyline of Heartbeat Sisters.

Seeing the determination in King's eyes, Bang decided not to try to persuade him any further.

"Mr. King must be busy with his heroic activities again. His dedication makes us older generation heroes feel ashamed."

"Then I wish Mr. King good fortune in martial arts."

"I will personally accompany Mr. King to the martial arts tournament!"

King nodded and then turned and left the gym.

.....

Meanwhile, at the Hero Association headquarters, rumors were already circulating that King would be attending the martial arts tournament.

"Is Mr. King actually going to attend the martial arts tournament?"

"Is it true or not?!"

"I heard that Mr. King is interested in martial arts. Mr. Bang specially prepared a guest status for Mr. King this time, and he himself attended as a guest."

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Competition is Imminent, Undercurrents are Surge

The Hero Association's executives and heroes were buzzing with discussion about King.

"Mr. King is going to the martial arts tournament? That's really unbelievable."

At this moment, Atomic Samurai was leaning against the wall, turning to Tatsumaki beside him and saying,

"I need to go find Bang and get a ticket to watch the fight. I want to join in the excitement. Maybe I'll get a chance to see King in action and learn his fighting techniques."

"What's there to learn? I think you guys are just bored out of your minds."

"Even though he possesses immense strength, martial arts are completely useless to him."

Tornado floated in mid-air, her arms crossed over her chest, her face showing an indifferent expression.

However, Tornado was filled with doubt at this moment, wondering what King was up to.

With his strength, he could easily crush a monster at the Dragon level, but now he suddenly says he's interested in martial arts. He's really a strange guy.

This guy has absolutely nothing to do with martial arts!

Seeing that Tatsumaki seemed to be deep in thought, Atomic Samurai smiled slightly:

"Tornado, are you planning to attend this martial arts tournament?"

"I?"

Tornado's thoughts were pulled back to reality by Atomic Samurai's question; she hadn't expected him to suddenly ask such a question.

"Why would I watch this kind of game? It's boring."

As Tornado spoke, she turned her head slightly, pouted, and looked completely unconcerned.

"Really? Mr. King is going to be there."

Atomic Samurai said something meaningful.

"What does it matter to me whether that guy shows up or not?!"

Upon hearing Atomic Samurai's words, Tatsumaki shifted her gaze to Atomic Samurai's face, her expression turning serious.

"Oh, I thought you and Mr. King got along quite well."

Atomic Samurai slightly raised his head, reached out and gently stroked his chin as he spoke.

What are you saying!

Tornado, which had been floating steadily in mid-air, trembled slightly, and her face turned red.

She couldn't help but recall what had happened when she was drunk, and her face turned even redder.

"I was thinking that if Tornado wants to go to the game, I can ask Bang to get you a ticket too."

Atomic Samurai explained.

"I, I don't want to!"

Tornado immediately refused.

"I'm not as free as you people!"

"Really? That's a real shame."

Atomic Samurai shrugged.

......

Hidden beneath a certain city lies a metal fortress composed of various sophisticated machines.

This is the Metal Knight's base.

Metal Knight has set up all sorts of signal jamming devices here, along with high-tech camouflage techniques, making this base impossible for anyone else to discover.

At this moment, in front of the large screen in the center of the base, an old man with buck teeth was looking at the data on the screen with a curious expression.

He is the true form of Metal Knight, Bofoi.

"Just who is this King?"

"This power, this destructive force is simply too astonishing..."

"Further experiments are needed..."

"Bofoy muttered to himself."
