Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted.

But now it seems... there's nothing at all?

And judging from her tone, it seems she's already acting like she's the younger brother's wife?

Seeing the group chatting happily, Katahara Sayaka blinked curiously.

Because of Katahara Mitsudo, Katahara Sayaka was no stranger to the Wu clan, but in Katahara Sayaka's eyes, the Wu clan were by no means easy to talk to.

Or rather, in most cases, the Wu clan is quite difficult to communicate with, and most of its members are difficult for ordinary people to understand due to their personalities and the family's cultural traditions.

The Wu clan never considered interacting with the weak. Most of the time, they lived in their territory, 'Wu Village,' and only set off in twos and threes or in groups when they needed to carry out missions.

In Wu Village, the Wu clan truly wields the power of life and death over every individual. Once they have confirmed relevant information, they will kill even patrolmen and police officers arranged by the Japanese government without hesitation, as long as they provide a reason afterward.

Vigilante justice and law enforcement power—things that are incompatible with modern society—are commonplace in Wu Zhi Li. This commonplace is also part of the multifaceted influence that martial arts culture has on the world.

And now... it seems that everyone in the Wu clan likes Yuan Chen quite a bit? I was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, Katahara Sayaka understood.

Powerful, belligerent, outspoken, and possessing terrifying potential—and judging by that, he'd probably cook well too? Rumor has it he's also quite skilled in medicine… It would be strange if he were annoying, right?

While everyone was still chatting idly, Yuan Chen noticed something and turned his gaze to the side, saying calmly, "What a powerful aura! You must be Senior Wu Huiliyang, right?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, everyone turned their gaze to the side.

Holding a cane, Wu Huili walked over step by step, seemingly calmly. When she heard Yuan Chen's question, a slight look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that a considerable number of assassination fist users are incredibly fierce, wanting the whole world to know "I'm here to kill you!", an assassination fist master is still an assassination fist master, and an assassin is still an assassin.

Before becoming the first Fang of the Kengan Arena, "Kyo-Ma" Goh Hye-ryo, as an assassin, he had targeted not only ordinary people, but also high-ranking military officials and political leaders countless times.

That is why, for Wu Huiliyang, concealing her aura is as simple as eating and drinking.

And now… “Such a keen intuition, no wonder he’s that legendary disciple.” Wu Huili squinted at Yuan Chen.

Although before actually meeting Yuan Chen, he wanted to skin Yuan Chen alive and tear him apart because of Wu Jialouluo.

But now, having watched many of Yuan Chen's battle videos in advance, and having personally met Yuan Chen and felt his intent and energy up close, Wu Huili Yang almost immediately understood why Wu Jialouluo was so impressed with Yuan Chen and fell in love at first sight.

He was tall and imposing, with a striking and deep-set face. He exuded a powerful vitality and aggression, yet his expression held a hint of leisure and peace.

This interplay of intensity and tranquility should have been a conflict, but it appeared perfectly harmonious in Yuan Chen.

Thinking about it, Wu Huili also said, "The Aikido you use originated from Korea, right? And you even incorporated your own understanding? It's truly an eye-opener."

Although Aikido originated from Japanese jujutsu, it was localized and modified after being introduced to Korea. The most obvious change is that it incorporates the proactive offensive techniques of Taekwondo, emphasizing quick and effective defeat of the opponent in real conflicts, and using a large number of high kicks and joint strikes as a prelude or finisher for throwing, joint locks and grappling techniques.

Upon hearing Wu Huili's words, Yuan Chen nodded, then patted Han Zhuli beside him and said, "Zhuli taught me."

"……Hello."

When Yuan Chen suddenly patted her on the shoulder, Han Zhuli didn't take it to heart and just greeted him nonchalantly.

After glancing at Han Zhuli, Wu Huiliyang remained silent for a moment before turning her gaze back to Yuan Chen and saying unhurriedly, "You should already know about Han Zhuli's identity, right?"

"Mm." Yuan Chen nodded.

“That Kim Gwan-jang is not someone to be trifled with.” Seeing Yuan Chen’s calm expression, Wu Huili raised an eyebrow.

"As the current leader of the Korean martial arts world, Kim Ga-bum's pursuit of justice will not easily allow his friend's orphan to live with an assassin—it won't be easy to persuade him."

"I'm naturally straightforward and not good at talking; persuasion is too difficult for me."

Yuan Chen shook his head, his face calm and composed, and said, "Besides, I think that fists and fighting are indeed the best way to communicate than words. What do you think, senior?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Wu Huili Yang fell into a brief silence, while Wu Lei'an, standing to the side, revealed a wild smile, staring intently at Yuan Chen and Wu Huili Yang, as if anticipating something to happen.

Although he said it very subtly, it was clear that Yuan Chen was also taking the opportunity to express his own thoughts—if you have any opinions, why not express them with your fists?

Feeling Yuan Chen's unwavering gaze, Wu Huiliyang couldn't help but grin maliciously after a brief silence:

"You annoying brat, I suddenly understand why a scoundrel like Lei An and a good kid like Garuda can't forget you!"

"You flatter me, senior." Yuan Chen said with a smile, sensing the rising blood energy emanating from Wu Huiliyang.

"Because the senior wouldn't want to entrust Wu Jialouluo to a weakling, right?"

"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Wu Lei'an, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, that's it! The old man's almost settled in Bengbu! It would be best if they started fighting right now, hahaha~"

Hearing Wu Lei'an's laughter, Wu Huiliyang curled her lip in disgust, then looked at Yuan Chen and said:

"Although I want to teach you a lesson right now, I can't do it yet."

Something tricky is starting to emerge. Taking you down without freeing you is impossible; I'm past the age where I can free myself at will. These few remaining supplies… I have to save for those truly worth killing.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen pondered for a moment and guessed that it was related to 'insects'. He nodded and then suggested, "If that's the case, how about swimming... I mean, how about life therapy?"

"...What treatment?"

Volume 1: Chapter 108 - The Strange Atmosphere of the Women's Club

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Wu Huili was slightly taken aback, but then she recalled that what Yuan Chen was talking about should be the special treatment method that Wu Fengshui and the others had mentioned before.

Thinking this through, Wu Huili said, "I don't have many injuries or illnesses, so simple treatment probably won't have any significant effect."

No wonder Wu Huili said that, because as a family of assassins, the Wu family's medical technology is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

This extraordinary understanding isn't about bringing the dead back to life or healing flesh and bones; it's purely about the understanding of the Wu clan's bodies.

Although through a long process of genetic selection, the Wu clan possesses a special constitution capable of adapting to the terrifying power that could cause the body to collapse after unleashing its self-protective mechanisms, in reality, very few members are actually able to achieve this liberation.

Four-fifths of the members of the Wu clan living in Wu Village are 'ordinary people' who are stronger than ordinary people.

Only one-fifth of the people were able to carry out the liberation. If we take a liberation rate of 60% as the passing grade, then the number would be even smaller. The entire Wu clan had less than a hundred members, who were truly the elite among the elite.

Because of her understanding of her own body, Wu Huiliyang is quite clear that every time she releases herself, she accumulates stress in her body. This stress may be able to be recovered through recuperation and rest afterward, but some of it will eventually accumulate.

Especially as she gets older and her body gradually reaches its limits, Wu Huili can feel that she can no longer freely switch on and off as she did when she was young. It's not because of the accumulation of hidden injuries, but simply because, with aging, her body's various abilities have declined significantly.

Therefore, every liberation today is a race against fate to the very last moment.

If it's an injury, it can be treated. But if it's just getting old... can you reverse aging?

Meeting Wu Huili's gaze, Yuan Chen said calmly, "It's always good to give it a try."

“…Alright.” After a brief silence, Wu Huili nodded.

Although he didn't think he could succeed, he was personally very interested in the 'secret secrets of the Assassination Fist' that Feng Shui and others had mentioned.

"I'll help."

Seeing that Yuan Chen and Wu Huili seemed to have made a decision, Chunli was a little uneasy and decided to go with them to keep an eye on things.

Wu Huili didn't pay any attention to this and simply walked towards the quiet room in the private room.

Watching Yuan Chen and the others enter the quiet room to recuperate, Wu Jialouluo nodded thoughtfully, then revealed a hint of joy and said:

"It looks like Grandpa will be able to relax a little in the future."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Wu Fengshui was taken aback: "Grandpa, is there something wrong? I didn't notice?"

Upon hearing Wu Fengshui's words, Wu Garuda simply smiled politely but remained silent.

He then turned his gaze to Han Zhuli, staring at her for a long while.

This inexplicably annoyed Han Zhuli, who coldly snorted and said, "Hey, what are you looking at me for? Want to fight?"

As she said this, Han Zhuli also twisted her neck, not to be outdone, revealing undisguised hostility and fighting spirit between her brows.

This also caught the attention of Wu Hori and Wu Lei'an, who were standing nearby.

However, they did not try to dissuade them at all, especially Wu Lei'an, who even showed an expectant expression, as if he couldn't wait to see a scene of bloodshed.

Wu Jialouluo did not respond to Han Zhuli's displeasure. Instead, he looked around, especially at Wu Lei'an and the others beside him, and then said, "I just have some things I want to ask you... but it's not very convenient to talk here. Can we go somewhere else?"

Upon hearing this, Han Zhuli raised her eyebrows suspiciously, but she wasn't afraid. Instead, she said, "Come on then, who's afraid of who! You'd better bring your friends too, I haven't had a proper fight in a while!"

"Don't worry, it's really just asking some questions."

After staring at Han Zhuli for a while, Wu Jialouluo smiled and winked at her: "Let's just consider this... a women's gathering!"

"...Women's Club?"

Upon hearing this, Han Zhuli looked puzzled, while Katahara Sayaka, who had heard the words "Women's Club," asked with great interest, "Women's Club? Can I join?"

“Theoretically, of course it is possible~” Wu Jialuo smiled when he heard Katahara Sayaka’s words.

Because of Wu Huili's relationship with Katahara Metsudo, Wu Jialouluo and Wu Fengshui were quite familiar with Katahara Sayaka. Now, upon hearing Katahara Sayaka's question, they clenched their fists and said, "But I have a question for you."

"What's the problem?" Katahara Sayaka asked curiously.

Upon hearing Katahara Sayaka's words, Wu Jialouluo, contrary to his usual behavior, paused briefly before lowering his head and saying with a slightly flushed face:

"So... what do you think of... Ah Chen?"

“Ah Chen? Yuan Chen…” Upon hearing this, Katahara Sayaka stroked her chin, recalling her brief exchange with Yuan Chen, and then said, “Hmm, how should I put it? Very mysterious, very interesting! There are many things I want to know!”

"Then there's no problem!" Wu Jialouluo nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Katahara Sayaka's answer, then looked at Katahara Sayaka with a serious and sincere expression and said, "I believe you will definitely fall in love with Achen too!"

"...Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Katahara Sayaka clearly realized something was slightly amiss and subconsciously tilted her head.

The things this woman wanted to discuss seemed to be somewhat beyond her original expectations.

While Katahara Sayaka was still thinking, Wu Jialou grabbed both Katahara Sayaka and Han Zhuli's hands, and said under the former's surprised and the latter's displeased gaze, "Let's go! Let's get out of here! Let's go talk about girls—oh right! Feng Shui, you have to come too!"

"Hey, do I have to go too?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fengshui pointed to his face and showed a somewhat worried expression.

"Of course!" Wu Jialouluo quickly came to Wu Fengshui's side, then pulled Wu Fengshui along as they walked, saying:

"When Ah Chen came back, he glanced at the feng shui several times! Maybe he's quite interested in it too! And the feng shui must really like Ah Chen, right? In that case, we should definitely learn about it together!!"

"Huh?!" Wu Fengshui exclaimed in surprise.

Judging from his expression, he was clearly surprised by what Wu Jialouluo said about Yuan Chen glancing at him several times.

"Really? Why didn't I feel Yuan Chen looking at me?"

"Your liberation rate is 28%, so it's normal that you didn't feel it."

Wu Fengshui: "..."

She pouted in grievance, but then Wu Fengshui followed Wu Jialouluo over, because she was also curious as to why Yuan Chen was staring at her.

Maybe she wants to pursue herself?

Ugh... should I refuse? Would it be a bad idea to refuse? Besides, Yuan Chen is quite good-looking, his potential is undeniable, and he's a great cook...

As he pondered, a strange smile appeared on Wu Fengshui's face, as if he were imagining how he should respond if he were actually being pursued, in a way that would be reserved and polite without being too enthusiastic.

Xiao Chunu is like this.

Upon hearing Wu Jialouluo's words, Han Zhuli's face showed a hint of surprise, because even she hadn't noticed Yuan Chen's gaze towards Wu Fengshui.

Although she was somewhat curious, Han Zhuli did not doubt Wu Jialouluo's statement, because she could sense a threatening aura emanating from the little girl.

Han Zhuli's martial arts intuition told her that Wu Jialouluo was the only woman present, besides Chun-Li, who could pose a threat to her.

And looking towards Wu Fengshui...

After examining it for a moment, Han Zhuli nodded.

Although she has short hair, she looks exceptionally clean and neat. Both her appearance and figure are remarkable, making her a very beautiful woman.

The only problem is that it's a bit weak.

To be honest, Han Zhuli had some doubts about whether her small frame could withstand Yuan Chen's high-frequency aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which was like an Ironman triathlon.

Thinking this, Han Zhuli felt inexplicably annoyed.

Although I know that Yuan Chen will definitely not be alone by my side... this bastard has been tormenting me every night for the past few days, and every time I beg for mercy as if I've lost half my life.

And now I'm still here, just staring at other girls...

Han Zhuli was somewhat annoyed, but also inexplicably depressed.

Although she was trying her best to cooperate, Han Zhuli could tell that Yuan Chen always finished in a hurry, even hastily.

Last time, Yuan Chen went on strike because his body was exhausted, and he just sat aside and took care of it himself... Is that why?

Surely not? I did help eat for a while afterward...

The more Han Zhuli thought about it, the more agitated she became.
