I teach judo in Tokyo.

The beautiful master walked over with a smile and sat down casually: "Actually, it's not just me staying in a suite. Motoko, Ms. Yotsuba, and Yumi Mifune also chose to stay in the same suite."

Sousuke immediately exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey, this is such unfair treatment! Why is my room just a regular double room?!"

"Kukuku~ I'm happy to do it. If you don't like it, you can book your own room." Yae Meixuan gave him a provocative look.

Sosuke couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed by her arrogant demeanor.

I absolutely have to use her vise again sometime in the future!

"Alright, enough with the nonsense." The beautiful master's expression turned serious.

She exchanged a glance with the old butler, then looked at Atobe Sousuke and said seriously, "Regarding what you said before, about that Snake Bite Style guy challenging you to a Deathly Madness duel, this old butler and I have discussed it. We have a suggestion here, would you like to hear it?"

When Sosuke got to the point, his expression turned serious.

He sat up straight: "Please speak freely."

Yae Meixuan met his gaze and said calmly, "Have you considered becoming the representative of the Five Directions Clan's Death Madness?"

"The Deathly Madness Representative?" Sosuke was taken aback. "I thought you guys helped me borrow some slots from those companies."

He couldn't help but look at Yae Meixuan: "Besides, with Master's strength, would the representative of the Five Families' Death Madness be given to someone else?"

Unexpectedly, Yae Meixuan shook her head.

"I am merely Motoko's mentor; I do not participate in the Death Frenzy Duel on behalf of the Five Families."

Chapter 157 The Representative of Death Frenzy

"I am merely Motoko's mentor; I do not participate in the Death Frenzy Duel on behalf of the Five Families."

Yae Meixuan said calmly, "Moreover, there are very few 'weapon fights' in the duels between the Deathly Madmen. My skills are all in the sword. If it were a hand-to-hand fight, I wouldn't be able to use even 30% of my full strength."

Sousuke stroked his chin: "The Five Families must have quite a lot of assets, right? Logically speaking, even if they don't have a master, they should still have other skilled individuals to support them, right?"

The beautiful master nodded: "Of course there are. Although the expert worshipped by the Five Directions Family is not as good as Old Master Sebastian, he is still a veteran 'Absolute' level expert. However, he is quite old and has been cultivating in seclusion in the mountains. The Five Directions Family will only ask him to take action when there is a great deal of profit to be won."

"Then why should I..." Sosuke didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

If there are already experts, why bother with me? Who are you trying to fool?

Yae Meixuan smiled and said, "Of course, it's not about making you come here directly as the representative of the Five Directions Family's core group."

She tilted her head: "You know about talent development, right? I've already spoken with Suzi's parents and told them about your potential. They're very willing to invest in you."

"After all, that 'Peerless' level expert from the Five Families is really too old. Even if he doesn't die of old age, he'll probably retire soon."

"I see."

Sosuke nodded and said decisively, "Okay, I agree."

It wasn't a momentary impulse on his part.

In fact, he had been thinking about this ever since he learned about the so-called "true nature" of this world.

As his strength grows and he begins to stand out, he will inevitably face more and more events.

Many of these incidents could have been avoided.

For example, regarding the reason why he provoked the Snakebite School, if he had restrained his temper last time and slightly backed down when facing Onishima He, thus avoiding the conflict, he would not have ended up beating someone half to death.

The same applies in the future. Whenever he encounters conflict, he will back down or avoid it if possible. Even if he has the strength, he will not stand out. In fact, the possibility of him offending those powerful people is not high.

The question is, on what basis?

He was a time traveler, and he even came with his own system.

With such overwhelming power, why should one still be subservient to others?

Can't I even do something about things that I don't like?

In his previous life, when he was a corporate slave, he had had enough of that kind of life where he was constantly working like a beast of burden, with no ups and downs in his life trajectory.

Do we still want to live like that?

That would be such a disgrace to time travelers!

So, from the moment he crippled that devilish islander Hegan and then killed the vengeful Moriguchi Yuichi who came knocking on his door, he had already made his choice without realizing it.

Having been reborn, all I want is excitement. Anyway, I have a system, so what's there to be afraid of!

The worst that can happen is that I die again.

It can't be worse than the previous life when people worked overtime at home until they died of overwork, and probably no one even knew their bodies were rotting, right?

Of course, he wasn't some wicked, scheming dragon king. When he was weak in the early stages, he sought allies and asked for help when necessary. It was just an exchange of benefits, nothing shameful.

The Five Families are clearly a very good ally.

He's rich and powerful, and the young lady is his disciple. Now he's looking to train a successor for this master.

He doesn't need to take the lead; in fact, he can be provided with a lot of convenience.

Wouldn't this be an excellent partner?

As for whether the Wufang family will need his help in the future, that can be discussed later.

According to Sousuke's own estimation, based on the current rate at which his strength is growing, he feels that it won't be long before he'll be able to go toe-to-toe with the old butler.

If this goes on any longer, they might be able to beat up the old butler.

As for the old butler, a master of such "madness" level, according to the beautiful master, he is already among the top in the world, so what is there to be afraid of?

Seeing that Sousuke agreed to cooperate with the Gofu family, Yae Meixuan laughed heartily: "Not bad, you're quite sensible. Now I can go ask the Gofu family for some referral fees again. I've been buying so much alcohol lately that I'm broke—"

As she spoke, she glared at Sosuke.

Sousuke awkwardly turned his head away and chuckled, "So, the Gofu family will be participating in that Deathly Madness showdown next?"

After finishing her business, Yae Meixuan leaned back comfortably and sank into the sofa, saying lightly, "The Wufang family is in the real economy, so of course they also have business in engineering and construction. What's so strange about them participating in a project that looks quite profitable?"

"However, under the constraints of the official 'unspoken rules,' it's rare for top companies to send 'renowned' experts to compete for projects of this size. After all, weaker companies have to be given a chance to make a living."

Yae Meixuan glanced at Sousuke with a strange smile on her lips: "A 'newbie' like you is perfect for playing around with. Don't worry, there won't be any experts above the highest level."

"You're looking down on me, aren't you!" Sosuke glared at the wicked woman, expressing his dissatisfaction bluntly.

Then, the old butler, who had been sitting there with an elegant and proper posture, suddenly spoke up for Sosuke.

"I had a brief sparring session with Mr. Atobe before, and I have confidence in his strength. Even if he faces a master of the 'Fierce' level, as long as Mr. Atobe is careful, he will at most be injured, but will not die."

Yae Meixuan laughed heartily: "That's exactly what I meant! Old man, I don't know if this kid used his full strength when he sparred with you, but if you saw the scene that day when he beat that snake-biting style trash to death, you would know—this kid is cunning!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Sebastian glanced curiously at Atobe Sousuke, who was smiling beside him. "Mr. Atobe, did you not use your full strength when you sparred with me the other day?"

Sousuke coughed lightly: "Yeah, yeah, of course I used my full strength, but it's just a friendly sparring match after all..."

It's just a friendly spar, not a life-or-death struggle, right?

The old butler's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Sousuke meant. He couldn't help but smile with interest: "Interesting. In that case, I'm actually more interested in Mr. Atobe's upcoming duel with the madmen."

He turned to look at Yae Meixuan: "Miss Yae, if it's convenient, please let me know when Mr. Atobe appears. I'll be there to watch."

Yae Meixuan smiled and gave the old butler an OK sign.

Finally, she looked at Atobe Sousuke: "Little guy, enjoy the rest of the matches. After all, with your performance being so exaggerated, you'll probably only be able to participate in this public event."

"Those guys in the government have definitely noticed you!"

Chapter 158 Special Training for the Widow

Have the authorities noticed me?

At night, Atobe Sousuke lay on his bed in his room, breathing heavily as he pondered the words of his beautiful master.

After agreeing to cooperate with the Wufang family today, the three of them stopped discussing the "Death Clash" and dispersed as if nothing had happened.

Soon, under the old butler's arrangement, everyone finished their meal together.

Considering that Sosuke had exhausted himself fighting thirty opponents today, the three female disciples did not request any additional training or activities and went back to their rooms to rest early.

The three girls grew closer and closer, and this time they even chose to stay in the same suite.

On the contrary, he, a teacher training college student, lived in an ordinary double room.

But this is good, at least he can continue to exercise properly.

After all, he was using the Manipulation Style, so defeating those opponents who were much weaker than him was not too difficult for him.

If you don't expend your energy, your body will rust.

While pondering this, Sosuke diligently performed push-ups in an unusual posture.

This type of push-up, compared to regular push-ups for arm and chest muscles, can more effectively strengthen his core muscles.

Meanwhile, the widow he hadn't seen in a long time was also earnestly practicing with him.

After all, it had been half a month since we had been able to supervise the training of the widowed disciple, so our dojo master quite strictly called her to the room to check her recent training results.

Under intense training, the widow was now drenched in sweat, her face flushed, and her expression had changed from her usual gentle demeanor to something even somewhat ferocious.

She was trying her best to maintain a posture as if she were hugging a pillar.

Her arms were wrapped around her waist, and her long legs were tightly wrapped around her, her fair and delicate feet hooked together as if they were tied in a knot.

This posture is a great way to strengthen her arms and legs.

Beyond its training benefits, this move is also a powerful choke technique.

It's called a naked choke!

If you master the skill, you can lock your opponent down tightly and suffocate them within seconds!

At this moment, Sosuke was firmly locked in place by her, and even with his astonishing strength, he was still almost unable to move.

Fortunately, the two were now facing each other, and the widow's arm was strangling his neck, not his throat.

If he had been strangled in the throat, he probably would have died even without opening his mouth or resorting to violence.

Kuno Maruko truly lives up to her reputation as a genius in ground fighting; her skills in grappling techniques have improved remarkably quickly.

To break free from this chokehold, Atobe Sousuke had struggled for hundreds of rounds.

As he struggled rapidly, he keenly sensed that the widow was on the verge of exhaustion, and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

Kuno-nee, now you'll see that although you're exceptionally talented, you haven't practiced ground fighting for long enough, and your physical strength hasn't been fully developed yet...

You're still a long way from beating me!

Sosuke let out a low growl like a wild beast, and began to struggle frantically in the final stage.

Finally, with a muffled groan, he exerted all his strength and completely released the widow's strangulation.

Kuno Maruko could no longer maintain the locked position, completely lost her strength, and collapsed with a vacant look in her eyes.

Ultimately, she lacked the skill and stamina to overcome Sosuke's long-lasting strength and resisted countless rounds, but still failed to defeat the instructor with her choking technique.

I'm completely exhausted.

They let the unskilled widow lie in bed recovering her blood.

Sosuke sat up and commented with a smile, "Kuno-nee, to be honest, your grappling skills are already up to standard in my opinion. However, judo is mainly about throwing techniques. You should practice throwing techniques with Yumi more in the future to learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses."

"Okay...okay..." The widow's voice was a little hoarse, mainly because she had been practicing and sparring with Sosuke tonight, and she couldn't help but use "ki-gathering" when exerting her strength, which caused some damage to her vocal cords.

Fortunately, this is a five-star luxury hotel with excellent soundproofing. Although I shouted a little loudly, it did not disturb other guests.

She gasped for fresh air, desperately trying to replenish the oxygen she had lost due to the intense training.

Then, with a slight effort, he regained his senses and raised his head.

When she saw Sosuke looking at her with a mischievous grin, her already rosy cheeks turned even redder.

She hurriedly got out of bed and whispered, "Sosuke-kun... I... I'll go take a shower first, I'm so sweaty..."

“Let’s go together.” Sosuke raised an eyebrow and quickly caught up. “I noticed earlier that your shoulder and back muscles are a bit stiff again. Let me massage them for you.”

The widow's legs buckled, and she almost fell.

She stammered, "Sō, Sōsuke-kun, you should save your energy... Isn't there a match tomorrow?"
