Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted.

"Ultimately, this kind of tag-team battle is just too unfair no matter how you look at it," Yamashita Kazuo couldn't help but say. "Even if Ohma-kun wins, won't his performance still be greatly affected..."

"Because that's just the law of the jungle!"

Before Yamashita Kazuo could finish speaking, a loud voice came from the side.

Turning my head, I saw a burly figure who was definitely over 1.95 meters tall.

Not only was he a head taller than Tokita Ohma, but his muscle mass was also significantly larger.

Upon seeing who it was, even though he was somewhat prepared, Yamashita Kazuo couldn't help but show a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face.

Tall and muscular with a rugged face, sporting a head of coarse dreadlocks and wearing only a pair of wrestling briefs, he was none other than Wang Ma's original opponent today, the Prison Angel Guan Linchun!

Unlike the fighters he had previously faced who specialized in underground combat, Jun Sekibayashi was a true top-tier superstar.

Super Japanese Wrestling is a major Japanese wrestling organization with the highest popularity and widest audience in the world of combat sports, hosting deathmatch competitions and many formal large-scale wrestling leagues.

Atsushi Sekibayashi, the "Prison Angel," is an unshakeable ace in Japanese wrestling, consistently ranking among the top three in popularity, making him a true fighting superstar.

Although he already knew that Kengan Fighting had many unimaginable world-class fighting superstars, when he actually saw Jun Sekibayashi, the Tenshi, appear on stage, a superstar who would even be used as a 'postcard of the wrestling world' in national diplomacy, Kazuo Yamashita was still genuinely shocked.

Feeling Yamashita Kazuo's gaze, Sekirin Jun revealed a hearty smile, then said in an exceptionally loud voice:

"Business is like wrestling. No matter how well you prepare for the fight, there will always be unexpected intruders who will bring a stronger impact!"

You thought you were fully prepared, but then someone suddenly delivers a flying elbow strike from behind—just like the impact of food delivery services on the fast food industry! Only those who can withstand the intruders and still stand up can become true aces!

As he spoke, Guan Linjun also looked at Tokita Ohma, arms crossed, a bright smile on his face.

"Yo, you must be my former rival, Tokita Ohma! Not bad! You don't seem to be affected at all by the 'Chairman's Privilege'—looks like you're also looking forward to this battle!"

Upon hearing Guan Linchun's words, Tokita Ohma, who was sensing the flow of blood energy around him, merely raised an eyebrow and glanced at Guan Linchun before letting out a cold laugh and looking at him with dim eyes, saying:

"Expecting? Yeah, why don't we start now? In the end, we'll all have to fight anyway, and I'll be the one who wins in the end."

Upon hearing Wang Ma's words, Guan Linchun simply smiled, showing no concern whatsoever. Instead, he spoke with great interest:

"Oh, not bad, your persona is quite advantageous in professional wrestling! It's just a bit of a pity that your physique lacks imposing presence, which only makes you seem unreliable."

"Professional wrestling?" Upon hearing Jun Sekibayashi's words, Tokita Ohma's face remained full of disdain. He said, "Professional wrestling? To put it another way... it's 'actors,' right?"

"Oh! That's a good line! You can say it when you're competing against me!"

Upon hearing Tokita Ohma's words, Kwanrin Jun's eyes lit up, and he said, "The so-called 'heating up the atmosphere' and 'warming up the crowd' requires such aggressive words to be effective! Only in this way can the one who ultimately wins receive everyone's cheers!"

Upon hearing this, Tokita Ohma fell silent, then asked suspiciously, "...Are you an idiot?"

"Haha, this is professional wrestling!" Sensing Tokita Ohma's doubts, Sekibayashi Jun laughed loudly and said:

"Don't let our friendly banter fool you. Once the match starts, I won't hold back! A true wrestler must face all ridicule, contempt, disdain, and even insults. Only then can they live up to the audience's expectations of the ring!"

Upon hearing Guan Linjun's words, Tokita Ohma's face remained dull, even showing a slight hint of irritation.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Save your breath. The current Wangma simply can't understand what you're saying, nor can he comprehend your meaning."

Upon hearing this, Yamashita Kazuo simply looked behind him with curiosity, while Ohma and Sekirin Jun turned their heads quickly with solemn expressions—before this voice appeared, they hadn't even sensed anyone approaching!

Emerging from the shadows, flanked by Han Zhuli and Garuda, Yuan Chen wore a casual smile and looked at Guan Linchun, saying:

"This must be our first meeting, right? I am Yuan Chen."

"And here I will humiliate you two—the unparalleled powerhouse!"

As he said this, Yuan Chen paused slightly, then looked at Guan Linchun with great interest and asked, "How about using this line as your entrance speech?"

"Perfect!" Guan Linchun clapped excitedly.

Volume 1: Chapter 140 - Yuan Chen VS Tokita Ohma!

Looking at Yuan Chen, Guan Linchun clapped excitedly and said, "You have a real talent for wrestling! You're tall, muscular, and good-looking too!"

As he said this, Guan Linchun stroked his chin with a slightly helpless expression and said:

"In the past, you were considered too delicate-looking as a wrestler, but in the last two years, many groups have been expanding their female audiences, and a handsome and muscular young man like you is much more popular than me."

"Good suggestion, but there are more important things to do now."

Hearing Guan Linjun's words, Yuan Chen didn't take them to heart. He simply looked at Tokita Ohma beside him and said, "You're getting impatient, aren't you, Tokita Ohma?"

"Ah." Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Tokita Ohma nodded slightly in annoyance and said, "You two defeated opponents, if you have anything to say, say it while you still can. After you've finished, hurry up and prepare for the match."

Hearing that he had already been called a defeated opponent before the fight had even begun, Guan Linchun burst into hearty laughter again. He wasn't angry, but simply patted Yuan Chen on the shoulder and said:

"Then I won't bother you anymore, good luck!"

After saying that, Guan Linchun turned and left, heading to the crowd to wait for his turn.

After glancing at Yuan Chen, Tokita Ohma withdrew his gaze, seemingly showing no interest in Yuan Chen as a parachuted fighter with the privilege of being the guild leader.

Or, in Wang Ma's view, Yuan Chen and Guan Linchun were merely martial artists he was about to defeat, stepping stones to prove that Erhuliu was the number one martial artist in the world.

As for the stepping stone, Wang Ma had no desire to talk to it whatsoever.

Yuan Chen was not surprised by Wang Ma's reaction, and simply said calmly, "You are... a successor of the Erhu style?"

"?!"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Tokita Ohma suddenly turned to look at Yuan Chen.

Although he has joined the Kengan Association, Tokita Ohma has not revealed his martial arts style to anyone, nor has he offered any explanation.

In Kengan Ashura, Tokita Ohma originated from the 'middle'.

On his way here, Yuan Chen also made a point of learning about the situation in this world.

Simply put, it's a place similar to an old town, but even more decadent and hopeless, utterly devoid of any hope of redemption, and has become a lawless haven where martial arts crimes are rampant.

To prevent harm to ordinary people, the character "中" was even erased from the map. The creation of "中" was also one of the reasons why Japan, in conjunction with police forces from multiple countries, established the Violent Weapons Mobile Unit (VMU).

Tokita Ohma's childhood memories were artificially erased through brainwashing. From the time he could remember, he had lived in the "Naka," but in reality, even he himself didn't know how he got into the Naka, nor did he remember his parents or relatives...

Later, he met his master and adoptive father, Tokita Niko, and it was from this time that Tokita Ohma got his own name.

The reason it was called Tokita Ohma is quite simple. The city was divided into many districts by various criminal gangs that were not subject to the law. When Tokita Futora found Tokita Ohma, it happened to be between the Tokita and Ohma districts. So, following the Japanese naming tradition, he was called Tokita Futora.

It's fortunate that Tokita Nitora was found in this city; if it had been found in Northeast China, it might have become Tokita Ouma on Shenyang Street...

The "Two Tigers" in Tokita Nitora's name, which refers to Wang Ma's master, is actually just a code name representing a group of people. When Wang Ma was young, his adoptive father, Two Tigers, was killed by another Two Tiger. Before leaving, the other Two Tiger told Wang Ma that his adoptive father was killed because he was too weak.

Tokita Ohma was already mentally unstable due to brainwashing during his childhood. He also witnessed the violent death of his adoptive father, Niko, and was mocked by the murderer for being too weak, which led to this outcome. With his mind still weak, Tokita Ohma suffered a traumatic amnesia on the spot.

He was so overcome with grief that he mistakenly believed he had killed his adoptive father, Erhu.

Now, Tokita Ohma's reason for joining Kengan is simply to prove his strength to his adoptive father, Niko-ryu, and to prove that Niko-ryu is the strongest.

Unfortunately... ordinary martial artists might not be able to sense it, but Yuan Chen, and even Guan Linchun, could clearly feel it.

Along with the loss of his memories, Tokita Ohma's 'will' as a warrior also suffered a significant deficiency.

However, Guan Linjun was unaware of Tokita Ohma's past and was only curious why Ohma didn't reveal his full "intention." Yuan Chen, on the other hand, knew very well that Tokita Ohma didn't not want to show it; rather, he himself had forgotten his own "intention."

And now...

"You are very weak."

Meeting Tokita Ohma's gaze, Yuan Chen smiled and said, "Whether it's you or the Niko-ryu you use... they're both very weak."

"...Do you want to die?" Tokita Ohma stared coldly at Yuan Chen.

Tokita Ohma never cared about himself. But in Tokita Ohma's view, insulting the Niko-ryu was tantamount to insulting Tokita Niko.

Despite sensing the killing intent and malice emanating from Tokita Ohma, Yuan Chen's expression remained unchanged as he calmly walked towards the contestant's passage.

As he walks, Yuan Chen also activates life energy, using the Shiranui-ryu charm technique to stimulate the secretion of androstenone and androstenedone, and accelerates their volatilization and diffusion through life energy.

Androstenone, present in male body odor, serves to convey dominance, competitiveness, and aggression. Men with higher testosterone levels are more sensitive to and averse to its odor.

Similar to androstenone, a steroid substance found in men's underarm sweat, when overstimulated, can be perceived by men as a threatening and domineering signal, leading to avoidance or submissive behavior.

As a martial artist, Tokita Ohma's testosterone levels were naturally high. This was only slightly activated. With the pervasive intent of Yuan Chen himself, Tokita Ohma's gaze suddenly narrowed, and he clearly felt the undisguised hostility and malice emanating from Yuan Chen.

This caused Tokita Ohma to instinctively tense up and enter battle mode.

Yuan Chen, however, did not rush to make a move. Instead, he walked along and said slowly, "It was because you were too weak that you killed the Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma's eyes momentarily glazed over, and his mind flashed with memories that had been selectively forgotten by the brain's self-protective mechanism.

"What do you know?!"

Coming to his senses, Tokita Ohma let out a hysterical roar.

But when the Ten Ghost Snake King looked up, he realized that Yuan Chen had already left.

"...Mr. Ohma?" Yamashita Kazuo looked at Ohma, who had suddenly frozen in place and then suddenly erupted in rage, with some concern in his eyes.

After discovering that Yuan Chen was not there, Wang Ma also turned his murderous gaze toward Yamashita Kazuo.

"Where is he?! Where is Yuan Chen?! Where did he go?! Where is he?!"

"He's already getting ready to enter," Yamashita Kazuo cautiously reminded him. "Oma-kun, if you don't go soon, you'll be disqualified for being late!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma no longer hesitated. With his bloodshot eyes wide open, he strode towards the center of the field like a trapped beast!

Just as the atmosphere between Yuan Chen and Shi Gui She Wang Ma was becoming increasingly tense, hurried footsteps and panting conversations came from the entrance of the audience seats.

"I'm late! I'm late! It's all Yihua's fault for insisting on saying we were very familiar with each other, which led to us going in circles!!"

"How was I supposed to know it would take so long to get from the old town to here! And it hasn't even started yet!"

Tenma Nozomi, Iori Kazuka, and Hanaya Mina stumbled out of the passage, their hurried figures immediately attracting the attention of many people.

"Over here!" Chun-Li waved to them from the front row of the audience.

This area, though called an audience seating area, is actually just a circle painted in white on the ground, with the audience standing outside the circle.

Tenma wanted to see Chun-Li as if he were seeing a family member, so he quickly came to her side, panting as he looked around.

Then, the expression on her face changed from anxiety to confusion, and then from confusion to disbelief.

"Wait, is this the Kengan Association's competition venue? An abandoned shopping mall... underground parking garage?"

"That's how most matches are."

Chun-Li gestured with her chin toward the ring, "Kengan doesn't make money from ticket sales, but larger, more formal competitions are different. You can come and watch sometime in the future."

Just as Tenma Nozomi and the others were curiously looking around, a spotlight shone in the center of the arena—Katahara Sayaka had somehow appeared directly under the light.

She wore a red evening gown, her eyes burning with excitement. The moment she appeared, all the chatter in the underground parking garage vanished along with her raised right hand.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

As expected of the name "Ghost Throat," even without a microphone or amplifier, its loud and enthusiastic voice still echoed between the concrete walls.

"As you all probably already know, today's battle is different from the usual ones—it's a special battle arranged by Chairman Katahara using his chairmanship privileges! The two sides are—"

Since his debut in the Kengan Association, he has won both of his matches, averaging less than three minutes per game. He has defeated the Russian Grim Reaper Scythe, Niou Komada, and Razor's Edge Superman Rito, sweeping through the Kengan Association with absolute dominance. He belongs to Sakura-sou Charcoal Grilled Meat, stands 1.98 meters tall, and weighs 140 kg! Great Consumer Genji!!

As the words were spoken, Yuan Chen, as always, entered wearing a vest, trench coat, and jeans, with a dark expression.

Faced with this pressure, people did not react calmly as before; in fact, they reacted quite differently.

The cheers nearly lifted the ceiling off the underground parking garage.

"He's here! Yuan Chen's here! Tear him to pieces!!"

"Another one-on-two! Another one-on-two! One-on-one battles are clearly no longer enough for him!"

"After we beat this newbie, we still have to beat Guan Linchun—that's Guan Linchun!"

"Yuan Chen can defeat Wang Ma in two minutes. Adding one more wouldn't be enough!"

"Yuan Chen will definitely defeat Wang Ma! He will definitely defeat him!"

Clearly, with two consecutive victories achieved without bloodshed and with undeniable violence, Yuan Chen has gained considerable popularity in the Kengan Association.

Besides these gamblers, some people also noticed the blind spots in Katahara Sayaka's words.

"1.98 meters? 140 kilograms? That can't be right. A week ago, wasn't he only 1.96 meters tall and weighed 101 kilograms? How come he grew two centimeters taller, but his weight increased by almost half?!"

"Is it inward growth? Like muscle density or something?"
