Chapter 130 Hiratsuka Shizuka the Mother Yasha

When the soldiers on the second floor saw Shirou and Hiratsuka Shizuka come up, they rushed up and woke up the big black man.

"General! General! They're here! The challenger has come up!"

"Hmm...Here he is? What kind of guy is he?" After being nudged several times, the burly black man finally opened his eyes groggily and asked.

"It's a sharp-eyed young man, followed by a fierce-looking old woman wearing gauntlets who's throwing punches at the air!" the soldier reported.

"A young man and a fierce-looking woman? Instructor Li only told me to wait for a young man? Could it be that Sun Erniang has also come?" The burly man, with his broad back and thick waist, stood up from the floor in confusion, like an iron tower.

He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a body as black as charcoal, a head of thick, messy black hair, a large round face, thick eyebrows, leopard-like eyes, and a long beard. He wore a gray cloth robe on his upper body, but it was not fastened, exposing his chest and belly. His whole body was covered in thick muscles, and there was a tuft of fluffy black hair growing in the center of his chest, making him a fierce and burly man like a black bear.

"So it wasn't Sun Erniang after all..." the burly man said with some disappointment as he recognized the newcomer.

"Who are you calling a shrew?! I'll beat you to a pulp!" Hiratsuka Shizuka glared at her and cursed.

“I didn’t say you were Sun Erniang. Your wife is much fiercer than her,” the burly man said honestly.

"Aaaaaah!" Hiratsuka Shizuka roared, raising her fist as she prepared to charge forward.

"Teacher! Calm down! Calm down! We're here to save Kasumigaoka-senpai!" Shirou quickly steadied his teacher.

"Hahahaha!" Leonardo da Vinci in Chaldea laughed gleefully.

"Shirou! Let me go! I'll show him right now how the person who dared to say that last time couldn't speak!" Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hands frantically, struggling powerfully.

"Teacher, you're still cute even when you're fierce, so it's okay!" Shirou reassured him gently.

"Hmph..." Hiratsuka Shizuka's face turned red with anger. Although she was still very unhappy, she finally calmed down.

"Hahahaha!!" Leonardo da Vinci was already bursting into laughter.

"This woman who suddenly appeared has a kind face, but her smile is strange, a bit like Sister Gu. Could she also be running a shady business?" the burly man commented, looking at the 3D image of Leonardo da Vinci.

"Shirou, beat him up!" Da Vinci said with a dark face.

Shirou looked at the burly man and said, "Alright, you're my opponent for this round. I'm here to challenge you. What's the competition for this round? Tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry."

The burly man looked at Shirou and said, "You're really arrogant! If my brother Hua Rong were here for the archery test, you wouldn't have made it. You're lucky. This test is wrestling! In your time, it's called wrestling! My opponent is me! You should rest a bit. I need to eat first so I'll have the energy to fight. Men, bring dinner!"

"General, it's already morning," a soldier ran over and said.

The burly man laughed and said, "Haha, I was wondering why it was so bright outside. Perfect! Hurry up and bring up both breakfast and dinner at the same time. It'll save me the trouble of eating both meals at the same time."

"Okay." The soldier ran out and soon returned from the other side with two large trays of meat dishes, including fish, meat, golden roast chicken that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, roast goose covered in red sauce, fresh boiled fish, braised beef... and two jars of wine.

He didn't use chopsticks, but just ate with his hands. He opened his mouth and bit off a big piece of chicken leg meat, and with his other hand he picked up the boiled fish, letting the soup drip and drip all over the ground.

Then he grabbed the wine jar, poured it directly into his mouth, and most of the wine flowed down his neck and onto his upper body.

The big man wiped his mouth without a care and continued to grab roast chicken and roast goose and eat them in big bites. Soon, only the bowls and plates with leftover food and oil stains were left on the ground.

"That's great! I never thought I could drink and eat so heartily. It's really great! Hahaha!" The burly black man ate until his face was greasy, then wiped his hands directly on his pants.

"Wait, Shirou! Are you going to wrestle with this black bear?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked with a look of disgust and horror.

"Aren't you rested enough? Then rest a little longer. When you're rested enough, wake me up for the match." The dark-skinned man said, turning his back to everyone and lying down at the bottom of the stairs. A short while later, he started snoring again and fell fast asleep.

“His class is Berserker, and he is suspected to be a Servant from the same era as the previous Archer. Judging from his appearance, he should be the type who has a berserk nature even in his normal state,” Da Vinci analyzed.

"Da Vinci-chan, I know just by looking, even without you telling me, but all the Berserkers who can talk properly seem incredibly strong! What should we do?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked worriedly.

"No, Shizuka-chan, there are actually quite a few Berserkers who can speak properly. Like the demon who likes to eat candy, the female monster who is clearly a cat but likes to say 'woof,' and is especially good at cooking, and the stalker snake woman who will be burned alive if you deceive her."

Like a man with gold jewelry and a golden axe, his mouth full of gold and lightning bolts. And then there's the Roman emperor who could speak perfectly well but pretends to stutter, saying things like, "My lovely niece Nero! Rome!" very smoothly.

"Yes! A berserker who can't speak is even rarer," Leonardo da Vinci said.

"Is that so?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked doubtfully. Although she didn't quite understand, her words were surprisingly convincing.

"It's okay. I actually used to learn sumo from the grandpa next door, although I gave it up later and switched to archery. I guess..." Shirou cheered himself up, already prepared for the worst.

"I really can't do anything with you! Then let me teach you the sure-win wrestling technique of Israeli martial arts! As long as you lose a leg, you can even take down a god!" Hiratsuka Shizuka said, patting Shirou on the shoulder.

"Is that a skill that can be learned in a short time? Or should I find an expert for you?" Leonardo da Vinci said, contacting an expert through Chaldea's communication device.

A short while later, a tattooed guy with long black hair and a braid walked over and said with a smile, "Hey, Shirou, I heard you're going to wrestle with someone. How about I help you?"

"Yan Qing! What are you doing at Chaldea?" Shirou asked in surprise. He had a deep impression of this powerful enemy who had shattered a layer of the Sevenfold Heavenly Ring with three punches. Although the Sevenfold Heavenly Ring was a Noble Phantasm for defending against projectile weapons, its defensive power was still considerable.

Gudako then poked her head out and explained, "Eek, Mashu's been out helping Shirou-senpai clear monsters from your world lately, so I was bored all alone in Chaldea. I drew a picture of a handsome black-haired guy and then did a little 'fucking' (a euphemism for masturbation), and the result was... Wahahahaha!"

When Yan Qing saw the burly, dark-skinned man clearly through the 3D image, he burst into laughter.

"Haha, isn't this Tie Niu? He actually does wrestling?"

“Hey, an acquaintance. Is he also from Liangshan Marsh?” Leonardo da Vinci asked.

"Well, it's hard to say if it were any other Servant, but as for him, I have plenty of ways to deal with him. Brother Shirou, let me tell you a few tips on how to handle him," Yan Qing said with a wicked smile.

Not only in China, but also in the whole world, wrestling is one of the oldest fighting techniques.

From battlefield combat to children's squabbles, victory is achieved by throwing the opponent to the ground.

In China, wrestling originated during the time of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, and was known as "jiaodi" or "sipu." Ancient texts record that "Chiyou had ears and temples like swords and halberds, and horns on his head. He fought with Xuanyuan, using his horns to attack people, and no one could face him."

The burly, dark-skinned man opposite him was actually named Li Kui. He was ranked twenty-second in Liangshan Marsh, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Killer Star, and the most morally bankrupt and unscrupulous character in the Water Margin. He had no regard for the law, no fear of imperial power, and would kill at the slightest provocation, yet he was also extremely loyal to his friends.

Two axes, used to kill both good and bad. They've killed corrupt officials, rebels, and innocent civilians. All good and evil are but a thought away, done entirely on a whim.

Upon hearing the rumor that Song Jiang had forcibly taken a woman, he immediately chopped off the banner of "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" and, holding an axe, went to the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness to kill Song Jiang.

Alternatively, when Song Jiang was framed and forced to drink poison, and his life was nearing its end, to prevent Li Kui from rebelling under the guise of avenging him after his death and tarnishing Song Jiang's lifelong reputation for loyalty and righteousness, the strategist tricked Li Kui into drinking the poison. Upon learning the truth, Li Kui said, "So be it. In life, I served my brother as his foot soldier; in death, I'll be a lowly ghost under his command."

At this moment, Shirou activated his Mystic Eyes, projecting Martha's Holly Knuckle almost perfectly. He enhanced and adjusted its size, equipped it on his hands, clenched his fists, clashed them together, and shouted towards it, "I'm ready!"

"That's right! That's the spirit! Go! Shirou! Throw this guy out like a ton of bricks! If you lose after using my Holly-Knuckle, I won't let you off the hook!" the woman shouted, raising the same gauntlets high.

"Ready? Then I'll throw you down! Come on over!" Li Kui stood up, his tall and heavy body towering like a black iron tower.

Shirou didn't agree, but simply flexed his fingers. After putting on the gauntlets, the combat skills of the weapon wielder were also projected onto him, and he gained strength close to B+ for a short time. Shirou recalled what Yan Qing had told him before.

"Brother Shirou, when you go on stage, don't move. If Tie Niu gets impatient, he will definitely rush forward and use brute force to press down. You should then counterattack and use his strength to your advantage, and you will succeed."

"I called you over here!" Li Kui beckoned and cursed again.

Shirou still refused.

Li Kui was a reckless man who would fly into a rage if someone looked at him too much, and he immediately became furious.

"I told you to come over and throw me, but you didn't come! Then I'll come over and throw you! Ahhh!!!" Li Kui's eyes widened as he roared and charged forward, raising his hands high like a bear pouncing on him.

Shirou sidestepped, grabbed Li Kui's arm, pulled and yanked, tripped him with his right leg, straightened his body, and completed the whole action in one smooth motion. The burly man lost his balance and flew out, followed by a loud thud as the floor hit the ground.

"Great! No wonder you learned from your mother! You have the style that made me beat Tarask back in the day!" the woman exclaimed excitedly.

"..." Shirou turned around and looked at the woman in surprise.

"Ahem, what I mean is that those who have a righteous heart will surely be blessed by the Lord and win. Alright, let's work together to save the world." The woman blushed slightly, then smiled gently.

"Hmm." Shirou nodded. Although he really wanted to complain, he gave up when he saw the other person's clenched fists beneath the gentle smile.

"I lost! But how did I lose?" Li Kui, thick-skinned and seemingly unaffected, got up from the ground and scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Brother Tie Niu, do you still recognize me?" At this moment, a 3D image appeared in front of Li Kui, and Yan Qing smiled and waved to him.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Xiao Yi? I was wondering why I lost so inexplicably. Turns out it was you who was playing tricks on me! By the way, where is your place?" Li Kui wasn't angry at all and said with a big laugh.

"This is Chaldea. Iron Bull, how were you summoned?" Yan Qing asked curiously.

"Instructor Li summoned seven followers and was looking for someone to fight him. I wanted to go up, but my two older brothers stopped me. Four others who weren't with us went up and were killed. The three of us brothers knew we couldn't beat Instructor Li, so we didn't go up to fight."

Instructor Li left us here to help him discipline his soldiers. I'm an infantry instructor now. "Little Yi, is your place fun? You're the most fun-loving guy in Liangshan. When are you going to take me there for a visit?" Li Kui said with a smile, trying to ingratiate himself.

"It's much more lively here. I'd like to come and visit you," Yan Qing said.

“No! Chaldea absolutely welcomes any Servant to join us. We can never have too many combatants. Record your Spirit Origin right now and try to summon you.” Da Vinci agreed, his eyes shining.

Li Kui laughed and said, "That's good. It's a pity I have to leave now. According to the rules here, the loser is useless. Instructor Li must have cut off my magic power supply. You can go upstairs yourselves. My elder brother Dai Zong is upstairs."

"Thank you, Li Kui. Goodbye then." Shirou nodded and said, then resolutely walked upstairs.

"Haha, I was never afraid of death in my life, let alone like this now. It's just that Instructor Li here is really not nice. My mother and Brother Song are the ones who care about me the most..." As he spoke, Li Kui turned into a glowing light and left this world.

Upon reaching the third floor, a tall, thin, middle-aged man was waiting there.

"Tie Niu lost, but it's not hard to imagine. He's certainly brave and fearless when it comes to taking up an axe and fighting the enemy. But in a one-on-one fight, he's only good for causing trouble."

“I am Dai Zong, the reincarnation of the Swift Star, nicknamed Divine Speedster. I’m going to test my speed with you. If you can touch me, I’ll admit defeat. But if you are cut in two before that,” Dai Zong said, drawing a sharp sword and running around the house.

It is said that Liangshan has five unique skills: Dai Zong's "divine speed", Zhang Qing's "stone throwing", Hua Rong's "divine arrow", Yan Qing's "wrestling", and An Daoquan's "medical skills".

Having already appeared here as a follower, his speed had increased even further. Dai Zong moved swiftly, becoming a blur as he ran through the hundreds of square meters of the building. He would step onto the walls and then run down to the ground, circling around and around. In less than ten seconds, the entire building was covered with scratches from the sword.

The words "In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through" were carved on the wall.

Chapter 131 The Final Showdown

Dai Zong started running again. To the naked eye, he seemed to become a blur, as if he were leaving long shadows trailing behind him as he sped along, as if he had a clone.

"So fast!" Hiratsuka Shizuka exclaimed.

Dai Zong's Divine Speed ​​Technique, like the famous Wall-Passing Technique and Earth-Escape Technique, is a secret Taoist art. He only learned the basics. When using it, he would tie two "armored horses" to his legs, which would allow him to travel 500 li a day. If he tied four "armored horses," he could travel 800 li a day. The so-called "armored horses" are colorful talismans with images of immortals drawn on them.

His strength lay not only in speed, but also in endurance. Traveling 800 li a day would kill several horses, but Dai Zong once managed to do so for two consecutive days.

When he abandoned endurance and pursued explosive power, he pushed his speed to its limit, instantly becoming a long afterimage. Even the fastest land cheetah was no match for him.

At such rapid speed, he held the sword horizontally in his hand, not even swinging it, but simply holding it was already a deadly weapon.

If you're fast enough, playing cards can be used to slice cucumbers, but once they're cut by this sharp sword at high speed, let alone a human body, even a hardwood pillar in this building that two people could hug would be easily sliced ​​in half.

"Shirou, watch out! She's coming!" Hiratsuka Shizuka warned.

"It's alright." Shirou remained calm, activated his pseudo-spirit origin, transformed into the Ironforge Heroic Spirit 'Nameless', activated his Mystic Eyes, and followed Dai Zong's rapidly moving body.

"You dare to say that? Then let's see!" Dai Zong gripped his sword horizontally and accelerated as he approached the boy, leaving a long afterimage as he passed in front of him.

In that instant, Shirou projected Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, placing them in front of his right side, and simultaneously jumped to the side.

The sharp sword and the black and white double blades sparked fiercely as they clashed, their afterimages passing each other by, but the attack was blocked.

Shirou indifferently tossed aside the shattered Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, turned around unhurriedly, his gaze still following Dai Zong's rapidly running afterimage, calm and collected, as if facing this situation with no effort whatsoever.

Dai Zong took the boy's behavior to heart, seeing it as a provocation.

Since his speed wasn't fast enough, he decided to increase it. When the colorful talisman paper flashing on his legs changed from two to four, he transformed into a gust of wind.

Shirou's eyes were naturally superior to those of ordinary people. After being enhanced by magic, they became far-seeing eyes, and with further enhancement, they were upgraded to the eyes of an eagle.

When faced with the nuclear power plant's core meltdown, he fought desperately, his eyes mutated, and he finally shut down the rampaging core, altering the harmful nuclear leak and saving all the employees in the nuclear power plant.

After being reborn into this life, his mutated eyes became naturally powerful demonic eyes, constantly increasing in strength as he grew from birth. After coming into contact with Chaldea's FGO system, his speed of improvement in battles against various monsters and Black Mud Heroic Spirits was faster than expected.

Even Shirou himself doesn't know the limits of those Mystic Eyes.

Dai Zong was indeed very fast, but in the face of these demonic eyes, time and space were not obstacles. Speed ​​was not a problem in this kind of indoor combat where the range of movement was limited.

Shirou summoned his longbow and projected three Red Plains Hounds and three serrated black longswords, which were magically transformed into three arrows, all of which were nocked onto the bowstring.

As long as the target is within four kilometers, he is confident that he can hit it accurately, even if it is moving at high speed. He infuses the tip of the arrow with magic, which flashes with a blood-red light, and then fires it with his eyes locked on it.

Dai Zong, who was rushing towards Shirou like a gust of wind, sensed danger and instantly changed direction, turning to the right to dodge an arrow! Unexpectedly, a second arrow flew straight towards him!

"Hmph!" Dai Zong quickly changed his posture again and turned to the right.

The third arrow followed, and Dai Zong stubbornly changed direction again. The first and second arrows, which had tracking capabilities, also caught up from behind, and even the extremely stamina-rich Dai Zong began to show signs of fatigue.

The Divine Speed ​​Technique was not easy to control; it was a Taoist secret technique mastered by only two people in the Water Margin. Dai Zong had to fast during its use and burn incense afterward, which imposed many restrictions. That's why he could only hold a sharp sword horizontally as his weapon.

At that moment, Shirou, who was standing to the side, pushed off with both legs and appeared in the only direction that Dai Zong could go, rushing towards the other party.

"What!" Dai Zong was stunned by the boy's actions. He hadn't expected the boy to take such a risk, actually charging towards him. Dai Zong's back was already blocked, leaving him nowhere to hide.

In that instant, Shirou rushed in front of Dai Zong, stretched out his gauntlet-clad hand, and grabbed Dai Zong's sword-wielding arm.

Dai Zong steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and turned the sword he was holding horizontally around, intending to slash at his opponent.

If Shirou touches Daisuke first, he will win; if the sword strikes first, Shirou will be cut in two.

This is a battle of speed, a matter of life and death. One step faster means life, one step slower means death.
