I teach judo in Tokyo.

Atobe Sousuke actually managed to snag a book with lightning speed!

Last year's national rookie champion is no match for this year's Golden Eagle Flag champion.

Awesome!!!

Kenichi Shirakawa got up from the ground, staring blankly at the calm-faced Sousuke Atobe, and couldn't help but cry out, "What? So we're not even on the same level?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Sosuke said matter-of-factly.

What a joke! If it had been two weeks earlier, and he hadn't activated his system skills, he might have been able to put up a good fight against Kenichi Shirakawa.

However, the two rewards he received in the past two weeks for defeating the virtual trial have boosted his throwing and ground skills to over 30. If he can still hold out against Shirakawa Kenichi, then his level up will have been for nothing.

This Kenichi Shirakawa is just incredibly talented, but he doesn't have a system like me, nor does he have any heaven-defying special moves that allow him to defeat opponents beyond his current level. How could he possibly stop my attack?

"Then you fought that classmate who used performance-enhancing drugs for so long, but his skill level is clearly just so-so..." Shirakawa Kenichi's eyes widened.

Sousuke stroked his chin: "Well... I deliberately delayed coming here for other reasons."

"This is so embarrassing! I can't live anymore!!!"

Kenichi Shirakawa felt deeply wounded and immediately knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Outside the arena, the members of the Tsurumine Judo Club had already rushed up and forcibly lifted Atobe Sousuke up and tossed him into the air.

In this dramatic fashion, Sosuke led Tsurumine's judo team to the national championship.

***

The individual competition that followed needs no further explanation.

After receiving the team and individual championships at the awards ceremony.

Sosuke bid farewell to his teammates, including Tsurumine, and his apprentices.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed several of his disciples to stay close to the team and not to leave the stadium without permission.

Several disciples obediently agreed to Sousuke's request, especially Motoko Itō, who currently had the highest combat power. She calmly said that after seeing Sousuke's actions, she had immediately arranged for armed SPs to come and provide protection, so he didn't need to worry.

Sosuke was finally relieved.

He believed that even if the Serpent of the Ring or the Black Crow organization were powerful, they wouldn't dare to commit any large-scale violence at such a large-scale public competition.

This action is tantamount to declaring war on the government, which will lead to a fight to the death, and will not benefit either side.

After explaining everything, he left alone, intending to head to the location given by the beautiful master.

According to Yae Meixuan, the Countermeasures Bureau's ace combat operator is waiting for him there.

......

Once outside the stadium, he waved, and a taxi immediately pulled up in front of him.

He got into the car decisively, closed the door, and told them the location of the target hospital.

The driver nodded slightly and started the car by pressing the meter.

Sosuke leaned back in his chair, about to take out his phone to contact his beautiful mentor, when he discovered that he had left a phone next to his seat.

"Hmm? Driver, there's a cell phone in the back seat. It might have been left behind by the previous passenger."

Sosuke reminded him and picked up his phone to hand it over.

Unexpectedly, the driver turned around, smiled slightly at him, and gestured with his hand.

"What do you mean?" Sosuke frowned.

Then, the phone lit up in his hand.

Accompanied by a normal telephone ringtone, a string of garbled characters appeared on the phone screen.

Sosuke glanced at the mysteriously smiling driver, as if he understood something.

He pursed his lips and calmly pressed the answer button.

A male voice, whether altered or not, came from the other end.

"Hello, Mr. Atobe."

Sousuke raised an eyebrow: "Hello, who are you?"

"We are 'Black Crows'." The directness of the voice coming through the microphone surprised Sousuke.

"Black Crows?" Sousuke chuckled. "Is it some kind of chuunibyou (delusional) fan club?"

“Mr. Atobe, there’s no need to test us. We are the ‘Black Crow’ you’re thinking of. According to the information you’ve received from the authorities, we should be considered a transnational criminal organization or some heinous villains. To put it bluntly, we are currently in an adversarial relationship.”

“Alright.” Sousuke smiled slightly. “Respected Lord of the Black Raven, what is your purpose in seeking me out?”

"Hehe, Mr. Atobe is a straightforward person, so let's not waste any more words." The male voice on the other end chuckled a few times.

"To be honest, we haven't had any formal conflict yet. Since that's the case, we can be both enemies and friends... What do you say, Mr. Atobe?"

"Okay, go on, I'm listening," Sosuke replied casually.

"Cooperate with us to get those two students who took the drugs." The other party stated their purpose directly.

"Hmm..." Sosuke checked his phone's navigation, which showed that the taxi was still heading in the correct direction.

So he asked with a smile, "What's in it for me?"

"Hehehe..." the man said calmly, "Mr. Atobe, as someone who has personally faced an opponent who has taken KX17, you should be able to feel the power of this drug, right?"

"Hmm, not bad. To actually give an ordinary person physical abilities comparable to a fierce-level expert is enough for you to win a Nobel Prize," Sosuke said with a smile.

"Our organization doesn't need empty titles like the Nobel Prize," the male voice said dismissively. "What we pursue is uncovering the true secrets of the human body!"

His words seemed casual, but he quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Mr. Atobe, have you ever considered that if even an ordinary person can become this strong by taking our medicine, how strong would a naturally strong person like you become?"

“Mr. Atobe, you should only be a Fiend-level expert right now, right? Although an eighteen-year-old Fiend-level expert is already a super genius, in the eyes of a true expert, the so-called Fiend-level expert is nothing more than an ant.”

"What if this medicine could make you a peerless expert, or even stronger?"

His tone was incredibly seductive.

"What the hell—" Sosuke interrupted the other's long-winded explanation speechlessly, "I thought you could come up with some more compelling theories!"

"So all you wanted was for me to be your test subject?"

"Um...we—"

"Shut up!" Sosuke interrupted again, speaking coldly into his phone. "Do you think I'm a child to be coaxed? When I read anime and novels, what I hate most are guys like you who hide your true intentions and do nothing but biochemical research. You're the kind of lunatics who are most likely to destroy the world."

He took a breath and said decisively, "I, Atobe Sousuke, am utterly irreconcilable with evil organizations like yours. You can just stay home, wash your neck, and wait for me to chop it off!"

After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.

In his past life, he was a seasoned Zu'an user, and his favorite way to disgust people was to hurl insults at trolls and then block them.

However, he discovered that the phone was specially made and did not have the option to hang up at all.

It's outrageous!

At the same time, the male voice on the other end of the phone laughed: "Hehehe, it's such a pity that we couldn't reach an agreement with Mr. Atobe. Well then, before we part, let us, the Black Crow, give you a small 'gift'."

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sosuke felt a sense of dread.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the driver in the front seat suddenly open the door and jump out of the car!

Fuck you!

liberation!!!

Under the keen warning of his sixth sense, he instantly activated the Liberation.

Then, with unparalleled terrifying force, he kicked the taxi door hard.

The car door, which was originally locked and would have required some effort to open, was instantly smashed open by him.

In the next instant, his figure transformed into a series of rapid afterimages as he darted off the taxi!

As soon as he landed, he didn't even roll to dissipate the force, but instead pushed off the ground with a heavy stomp and started running!

Once it started, there wasn't even a residual image.

He was incredibly fast; he had barely taken one step when he was already several meters away in the blink of an eye!

SSR-level movement technique—Beyond Flames!!!

He caught up with the driver who was still rolling on the ground, losing his strength. Before the other man could react, he grabbed him precisely and knocked him unconscious with a light slap.

Just then, it took less than two seconds in total.

The taxi that was just carrying Sosuke exploded with a bang after traveling only a few dozen meters!

Sosuke held the unconscious driver in one hand and the Black Crows' specially made cell phone, which was still connected, in the other.

A ferocious smile appeared on his demonic face.

He put the phone to his mouth and chuckled hoarsely.

"Black Crow, huh? Wash your necks and you're all finished!"

"I told you, even Jesus couldn't save you!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a faint gasp.

Then he silently hung up the phone.

Chapter 244 The Countermeasures Bureau's Trump Card, and the Elixir of Immortality?

"I told you, even Jesus couldn't save you!"

......

Inside a secluded house in Japan.

A middle-aged bald man silently hung up the phone, then immediately dialed another number.

The call was quickly answered, and a calm voice came from the other end: "He's not dead."

The bald man said with a grim face, "King, tell me what's going on."

On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Sapporo, Jin En, with long silver hair, looked at a certain spot through binoculars and said into his phone, "Two seconds before the car exploded, he jumped out of the car almost at the same time as the driver, then immediately chased after him and knocked him unconscious. Now... he's making a phone call, probably to notify the countermeasures bureau."

The bald man's face was grim: "Snipe the driver, then leave immediately."

King nodded and, with the help of his burly companion Walker, quickly set up a sniper rifle.

Soon, Atobe Sousuke's face appeared first in the sniper rifle's scope.

Jin En was still hesitating whether to pull the trigger when he saw Atobe Sousuke's body subconsciously step to the side and immediately raise his eyes to look in his direction.

A terrifying sixth sense!

He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately moved the gun away, obediently aiming at the unconscious target who was lying on the ground.

Pull the trigger!

A second later, he quickly put away his sniper rifle and told his companions to leave immediately.

Walker asked him curiously, "King, did the sniping succeed?"

"We succeeded, but that guy is already charging this way. Retreat!"

Walker quickly caught up with him, scratching his head as he asked, "It's almost a kilometer from here to that side, isn't it?"

King gave him a cold look and said, “Go back and have the organization upgrade this guy’s rating to Beta level.”

"Huh!?" Walker was dumbfounded. "Beta level? This eighteen-year-old student has reached the ultimate level?"

This time, King didn't reply, and his movements became even faster.

......

Less than two minutes later, Sosuke appeared on the roof of the building.

He frowned, his face cold and angry.

Just after jumping out of the car and landing, he suddenly felt a pang of fear and immediately made a dodge preparation.

Unexpectedly, the person shot the next second was the driver who was lying on the ground.
