I teach judo in Tokyo.

Immediately following a series of hurried footsteps, the dojo gate was opened, and a familiar-looking boy appeared before Sousuke.

After seeing the boy's face clearly, Sousuke raised an eyebrow: "Kenichi Shirakawa, it's been a long time."

The boy was none other than the genius he had defeated in the national competition.

When Shirakawa Kenichi saw Sousuke, he was clearly much more surprised than Sousuke, and then asked with a look of delight, "Atobe-kun? What brings you here? Did you come here specifically to see me?"

Sosuke chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No, I didn't come here to see you."

"Huh?" Kenichi Shirakawa looked at him in confusion. "If you didn't come to see me, who else in our dojo would you know?"

Then, seeing Sousuke's tall and handsome appearance, he suddenly asked with a wary look, "Wait! You, are you perhaps a suitor for Tae?"

Seeing his sudden jealous expression, Sosuke glared at him speechlessly: "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? And who is Miao? Is she your girlfriend?"

"Huh!? Girlfriend!?" Upon hearing Sousuke's words, Shirakawa Kenichi's face flushed red, then he looked slightly pleased, swaying back and forth like a roly-poly toy, scratching the back of his head and laughing shyly, "It's not that far yet! If I had to say, we'd probably be prospective lovers... I guess!"

The next second, a large hand suddenly reached out and lifted Shirakawa Kenichi up like a chick.

"Hey kid, why are you taking so long to open the door? Don't be lazy!"

As the calm words were spoken, a middle-aged man came into Sosuke's sight.

He was a man with a spiky mustache, exuding a philosophical air.

The moment Sousuke saw him, he sensed an extraordinary aura of power emanating from him.

【Fūrin-ji Temple Dojo: Misaki-koshi-ji Akiyama】

Age: 38

[Entry: Philosophy of Softness]

[Possesses self-defense technique: Misaki Koshiji-ryu Jujutsu 43]

【Special Moves: True Breathing Throw, Willow Leaf Step, Infinite Wheel Slam, Hell Destruction】

[Current Status: Kenichi still dares to slack off. If he doesn't work harder, he'll fall further and further behind others...]

Hmm, another powerful top-tier expert.

I feel like the information that the beautiful teacher gave me was incorrect.

Didn't she say there are only one or two hundred top-level masters in the world?

How come I've seen so many of them recently in this small country of Japan?

When Sosuke looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man also saw him at the same time.

He immediately recognized the tall young man as the super genius who had easily defeated Kenichi Shirakawa earlier.

He raised an eyebrow and looked directly at Sousuke: "Oh, you're... called Atobe, right?"

"Yes." Sousuke nodded with a smile and stated his purpose directly, "Lord Furinji sent me. He should be here, right?"

"Ah... it was the elder who summoned you..." Misaki Koshiji Akiyama was slightly taken aback, then stroked his chin and began to think.

However, he didn't think for long before he looked up at Sosuke and said, "The elder is indeed here. I'll take you to him."

Sosuke thanked him.

So, the middle-aged man carried Kenichi Shirakawa and led the way, soon bringing Sousuke to a room inside the dojo.

“Elder Furinji is in this room. Please go in.” Misaki Koshiji Akiyama said to Sousuke with a smile. Then he lifted up Shirakawa Kenichi, who had been struggling for a long time but had not been able to escape, and gestured to Sousuke. “We will not keep you company. Kenichi is not skilled enough and still needs to train hard.”

Sosuke nodded and smiled at him, indicating his understanding.

So he dragged the shouting Kenichi Shirakawa away.

Sosuke ignored them and turned around to push open the sliding wooden door in front of him.

Then I saw the person I was meeting.

It was an extremely tall and robust old man, wearing a green long robe.

He has long, light yellow hair and a large beard.

He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, admiring the painting in his hands with a smug look on his face.

Sosuke glanced at it and then looked away, focusing his gaze directly on the old man's label.

Shock immediately flashed in his eyes!

[Fūrinji Tenjin (??), flee immediately!]

Holy crap! What kind of comment is "Escape immediately!"?

Sosuke immediately opened the other party's panel, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

[Abbot of Fenglin Temple: Fenglin Temple Celestial]

Age: ? years old

[Possesses the entry: Invincible Celestial]

[Possesses protective techniques: Furinji - My Style? ?]

[Special Moves: ? ? ? ? 、 ? ? ? 、 ? ? ? ......]

Current status: ???

What the hell!

Apart from the name and the awesome phrase "Invincible Celestial Being", everything else is just question marks!

Sosuke was completely stunned.

"Atobe-kun, your gaze is quite offensive!"

Furinji Tenjin was still smiling as he looked at the painting of birds and animals in his hand. Although he didn't look up, he said something meaningful to Atobe Sousuke.

Sousuke felt a chill and immediately averted his gaze from the other party's interface.

He knew that this time he had truly encountered someone he absolutely could not afford to mess with.

Kyogoku Shin and Yae Meixuan were right. If the old man in front of them wasn't the strongest in the world, then this world was far too terrifying!

"Lord Furinji, I have come as agreed," Sousuke said softly, having calmed himself down.

Since things have come to this point, there's no point in showing weakness anymore; it's better to be more carefree.

Furinji Tenjin finally put down the scroll and looked at Sousuke with a smile. If it weren't for his large beard and the shallow nasolabial folds on his face, you wouldn't even be able to tell that he was an old man.

He laughed heartily, "Young friend Atobe, I've heard a lot about your achievements lately. To have such talent at such a young age is even more impressive than when I was young. It's truly admirable!"

"You flatter me, sir. In your presence, I am but a greenhorn." Sosuke said with genuine self-deprecation.

"If you don't mind, just call me 'Elder.' Everyone I know calls me that except for Miao."

Fenglinji Tenjin waved his hand, appearing quite easy to talk to.

“Yes, Elder.” Sosuke readily agreed.

Then, because he was under a lot of pressure, he didn't try to get close to him. Instead, he honestly and proactively got to the point: "Elder, may I ask what instructions you have for me?"

When Furinji Tenjin saw that Sousuke had taken the initiative to ask a question, he nodded readily and said, "In that case, let's get down to business first."

As he spoke, he gestured, "Please sit down."

Sosuke obediently sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, raised his head and looked at the old man intently.

Furinji Tenjin took a blueprint out of his pocket and tossed it to Sousuke.

Seeing that he had taken the map and opened it, he continued with a smile, "There are several markings on the map, all painstakingly discovered by our intelligence department's undercover agents. I'll leave the Black Crow organization's new stronghold in Tokyo to you to wipe out. No problem, right?"

Sosuke looked down at the map in his hand, which had five or six red dots marking various areas of Tokyo.

Then he smiled and looked up: "Elder, although I was mentally prepared to do this job before I came here, wouldn't it be a bit too much to ask me to handle all these strongholds by myself?"

"Hahaha!" Fenglin Temple Celestial laughed heartily.

The next second, he stood up abruptly.

And in the instant he stood up, he suddenly appeared in front of Sousuke!

liberation!!!

A tremendous sense of crisis instantly filled Sousuke's mind and body.

The stimulation caused him to instantly unleash his full power.

Immediately afterwards, with the help of the new passive skill "Mind's Eye False", he instinctively turned around and rushed out.

Beyond the flames!

In his unleashed state, Sousuke possesses physical abilities far exceeding those of humans, coupled with explosive, top-tier footwork, making him incredibly fast.

In just a moment, he rushed out of the gate behind him.

Behind him, Furinji Tenjin’s enormous fist had just pierced through the afterimage he left in the air!

"Hmm...it's even more powerful than I expected!"

Fenglin Temple Celestial was calm and composed, though a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Then he smiled with satisfaction.

Turn around, take a step, and disappear!

On the other side, Sousuke, who was running wildly in the wake of the crisis, had already rushed out of the dojo building and arrived at the gate of the courtyard in a few seconds.

Immediately afterward, he stopped abruptly just before rushing out the door and quickly raised his arms to shield his face.

The Tower of Rome!

Just then, the door suddenly burst open with a huge hole, and a massive fist slammed straight toward Sosuke.

"Oh!"

The enormous fist collided violently with Sousuke's arm.

"what!"

Just as Furinji Tenjin outside the door let out a soft exclamation, after being hit by his heavy punch, Sousuke actually advanced instead of retreating, and slammed into the door while bracing against the solid punch.

The enormous impact smashed the door open.

Two seconds later, the two broken doors fell to the ground.

Sosuke stood still, panting heavily.

A few meters away, the old man's tall and sturdy body landed gracefully like a swallow.

"Impressive! What an impressive kid!"

Furinji Tenjin patted his chest, which had been bumped by Sousuke, and laughed heartily.

"With your strength, you're more than capable of clearing out those strongholds!"

Sosuke raised an eyebrow and lowered his stance.

He knew he had been tested.

Chapter 273 The Sealed Prison

Atobe Sousuke realized that the old man opposite him was actually testing his strength.

He then lowered his hands, both amused and exasperated: "Elder, you almost scared me to death. I thought I was going to die here tonight."

Furinji Tenjin seemed a little unsatisfied, as if he wanted to punch him again.

He stared at Sosuke for a long time, then exclaimed, "Your parry just now was perfect. You were able to completely absorb and deflect the force of my punch, and then you were able to precisely seize the moment when my previous force was exhausted and my subsequent force had not yet been generated to launch a counterattack. If it were anyone else, even a Berserker-level expert, they would probably suffer from your move."

As he spoke, he shook his head: "Even if I were to do this, I might not be able to do it once in ten attempts in actual combat at the same level... Kid, you're really something. What's this move called?"

That's because the system is awesome, it has little to do with me personally... I just need to seize the right time to use it.

Sosuke scratched his head: "This move is called the Roman Tower Shield."

“The Roman Tower Shield…” Furinji Tenjin stroked his long beard. “Not bad, quite fitting. Judging from the way you bumped into me, you must have a hidden trick up your sleeve, right?”

“Yes, if this counterattack hits, I can unleash three types of follow-up attacks after breaking the enemy’s stance,” Sosuke said honestly.

"Impressive!" Fenglin Temple Tenjin exclaimed in amazement. "With just this one style, if it were expanded, it would definitely be an incredibly powerful style of fist fighting. Kid, who is your master?"
