“But you’re cunning. The fact is now that dealing with one person has turned into dealing with a super organization.” Sosuke shook his head. “Although I say I’m not afraid of this organization, I’m afraid of trouble. If I provoke such a behemoth, there will definitely be endless trouble in the future.”

Sosuke stopped: "Compared to this kind of trouble, the bargaining chips you offered before are far from enough."

Yae Meixuan was speechless.

Sosuke was speaking the truth, which was perfectly reasonable, and she had no way to refute him.

He lowered his head in frustration and thought for a long time, gritting his teeth.

She suddenly looked up, stared at Sosuke, and said, "Kid, you're very interested in my body, aren't you?"

Then, to Sosuke's astonishment, she suddenly picked up the gourd and gulped down three mouthfuls.

Then he pounced on the sofa opposite him.

Just as Sosuke was about to resist, he was forced to lean against the sofa cushion.

Then she straddled Sosuke in a position similar to a duck sitting.

Under the powerful effects of the Eight Salts Wine, her eyes were misty with intoxication, and her face flushed red.

A beautiful face was very close to Sosuke's eyes.

Sosuke was about to refuse righteously, but his gaze couldn't help but drift downwards, landing on the alluring cushioning beneath the beautiful master's spacious kimono.

The inner demon immediately rose up, getting stuck in the beautiful master's vise just like last time.

I rely on!

Sosuke immediately closed his eyes and began to silently recite the Ice Heart Mantra.

If your heart is pure and clear, you will not be alarmed even if the sky falls!

Ugh... Ugh...

Holy crap, how could you feed someone alcohol like that?!

Chapter 166 The King of Fighters!?

Yae Meixuan pressed Atobe Sousuke down on the sofa, cupped his face in her hands, and fed him wine from above.

Before Sousuke could react, she fed him a bite and a half.

The medicinal effects of the Eight Salts Wine took hold, leaving the person feeling somewhat dazed.

Damn it, you old woman, do you think I'm easy to bully?

He drank his wine heartily while raising his hand to block the other person from getting closer to him.

Swordsmen undergo rigorous training to forge their bodies into highly lethal forms, and when not in combat, they resemble bouncy, chewy gum.

It felt exactly as I had imagined.

Yae Meixuan was getting annoyed by Atobe Sousuke's desperate resistance.

I just wanted to feed you some wine, and you actually resisted?

She continued to stretch her neck and forcefully pour alcohol into Sosuke's mouth, while using her superb agility as a master to constantly try to evade Sosuke's defenses.

The two exchanged dozens of blows in the blink of an eye.

After a while, Sosuke was annoyed by the beautiful master's entanglement. His state of mind was not perfect to begin with, and his inner demons were very easy to lose control of.

The inner demons, which had already spiraled out of control, were seized by the beautiful master and tightly controlled, as if they were clamped in a vise, struggling helplessly within a small space.

The dragging and agonizing feeling during a fight is infuriating.

Can you be more straightforward?!

He let out an impatient growl and stood up, supporting himself on the beautiful master's large cushion.

Startled, Yae Meixuan immediately hooked her arm around his neck.

......

......

Unlock Master's skin: Kimono in disarray

......

......

"hiss!!!"

The beautiful master frowned.

Sousuke grinned. "Hmph, you dare to feed me wine? Take this!"

FirstBlood!

......

"Pause, I can't breathe... I can't breathe!!"

Sosuke's continuous attacks left Yae Meiken struggling to defend herself.

Unable to resist, she immediately begged for mercy in a hurried voice. The countless knife marks on her body stood out starkly against her skin.

Sosuke wasn't about to let her off the hook, so he just kept attacking.

……

Seeing that his opponent still had some strength left, Sosuke immediately used his movement technique to dodge.

Then, taking advantage of the inexperienced beauty's inattention, they left and returned.

The game is over!!

***

Sosuke opened his eyes, and then looked down to see his sleeping, beautiful master.

The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the master's face and making her look incredibly beautiful.

It can only be said that her inhuman master still had some love of beauty, and apart from blinding Yae Meixuan in one eye, he did not leave any other scars on her face.

In her sleep, Yae Meixuan's face was serene, no longer like when she was awake, with an inescapable fierceness between her brows, but instead, she had a touch of innocence.

The thin air-conditioning blanket did not perform its function properly, covering up only the useless parts and leaving the parts that should have been covered exposed.

Seeing this, Sosuke's inner demons were suddenly aroused.

Then he immediately realized—his inner demons were still in danger!

He took a deep breath and held it for a long time, but ultimately failed to activate the Ice Heart Technique.

With his mind in complete disarray, his body was controlled by his inner demons, but he refused to give in and began to struggle.

With both sides having similar strength, the two sides could only engage in a slow, back-and-forth struggle.

The strange movement made Yae Meixuan tremble slightly.

A few seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion. Even after seeing Atobe Sousuke, she was still completely bewildered.

She rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Hey kid, what are you doing? Why are you sleeping on top of me? Trying to take advantage of me?"

Her voice was a little hoarse.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Then, she stared wide-eyed at Atobe Sousuke, whose eyes were bloodshot and controlled by his inner demons.

......

Sosuke calmly finished brushing his teeth and returned to the sofa in his room.

Opposite the sofa was Yae Meixuan, who had already washed up and was dressed neatly.

A fierce look returned to the woman's face, and she was glaring at him menacingly.

"You're a cow! You pervert!" Yae Meixuan cursed under her breath.

"Don't blame me. Even if I'm 99% wrong, don't you have 1% to blame?" Sosuke leaned back on the sofa with a smile, looking refreshed.

Yae Meixuan was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, yelling, "Baka! If you hadn't been so perverted last night..."

As she spoke, she recalled the fierce battle of the previous night, her face turned red, and she couldn't finish her sentence.

Speechless, she angrily took out her wine gourd and took a sip.

Atobe Sousuke watched Yae Mei-xuan's dramatic face-changing act with a strange laugh. Seeing her becoming increasingly embarrassed, and fearing she might pull out a knife and hurt him, he coughed and changed the subject.

"Master, tell me about your plans?"

Hearing Sosuke get down to business, Yae Meixuan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She thought for a moment, then looked Sosuke up and down: "Before that, I need to know your level so I can assess whether the plan can be implemented."

"My level?" Sousuke looked at the other person, scratching his head. "How do you plan to find out?"

Yae Meixuan couldn't suppress her smile, and looked at Sosuke with great smugness.

"Boy, come and have a real sword duel with me!"

It seems she had been looking forward to saying this for a long time.

"A real sword duel?" Sōsuke choked for a moment, speechless as he looked at the beautiful master who looked like she had just pulled off a prank. "If you want to kill me, just say so. Why beat around the bush so much?"

"Kukuku!" Yae Meixuan, who had been holding back all night, finally felt a sense of triumph.

Kid, you stabbed me so many times last night, so it's only reasonable for me to stab you a few times now, right?

She flashed a smug smile, like a yakuza boss, and said lightly, "My enemy now holds a high position in Jormungandr; he is the Sword Grandmaster, one of the many 'Grandmasters' in Jormungandr."

As she spoke, her previously flippant expression turned gloomy again: "The so-called 'Crown of Swords' means that Jormungandr believes this guy is the strongest person in the world to use 'blade-type' weapons. In other words—even among Berserker-level powerhouses, he is among the top tier."

Atobe Sousuke knew that Yae Mei-xuan was going to continue, so he watched her quietly without saying a word.

Yae Meixuan glanced at him: "Every Grand Master representative in Jormungandr is a mysterious figure whose whereabouts are difficult to trace. With my current intelligence network, I have no way of finding his whereabouts. There is only one way to be sure of him and to challenge him openly and honestly..."

At that opportune moment, Atobe Sousuke asked, "What method?"

"Activate a ritual—the Grand Challenge."

Yae Meixuan's gaze was deep: "Every three years, Jormungandr gathers the world's strongest warriors to hold an ultimate competition in a secluded location. The company that wins this ultimate competition will receive the strongest support from Jormungandr for the next three years, and the strong warriors who represent their companies can make a wish."

"Wealth, fame... even the qualification to challenge for the 'Grand'..."

Yae Meixuan looked at Sousuke, her eyes gleaming: "The tournament is called 'King of Fighters,' also known as 'The King of Fighters.'"

"And this year happens to be the year that this ultimate competition will begin."

Chapter 167 Jade Dragon Flag

(The previous chapter has been unblocked; duplicate content will be deleted...)

The King of Fighters tournament...

Atobe Sousuke, dressed in a kendo uniform, stood among thousands of other participants, listening absentmindedly to the announcements from the podium, his mind preoccupied with what Yae Meiken had told him that morning.

According to the beautiful master, her enemy is a high-ranking figure in the super organization Jormungandr, who holds the title of "Crown of the Swords".

Regardless of whether he has the ability to kill this person who is recognized by the organization as the world's strongest swordsman.

The reality is that they had absolutely no way of knowing anything about that guy's whereabouts.

The only known way to meet him is to win the final victory in the so-called "King of Fighters tournament" and make the wish to "challenge for the Grand Title".

Not only that...

Sousuke recalled Yae Meika's words.

The beautiful master said, "Not just anyone can participate in the King of Fighters tournament. Besides the recognized veteran powerhouses, newcomers must excel in various deathmatch battles to qualify. If they meet the organization's requirements, they will send 'invitations' to those who demonstrate outstanding performance and potential. Only those holding 'invitations' can travel to the tournament venue when it begins..."

In other words, let alone 'fighting' that super organization, he's not even qualified to participate in any of the organization's large-scale competitions.

Thinking of this, Sosuke couldn't help but sigh, feeling an urge to beat up his inner demons.

Sure enough, men who couldn't control their inner demons eventually paid the price.

What does it mean to say that "the most difficult thing to enjoy is being born into a beautiful family"?
