I teach judo in Tokyo.

Not only that.

These scenes are not only witnessed by people in Tokyo.

It's global.

Thirty-two arenas, each with numerous cameras broadcasting live simultaneously, with the footage being relayed in real-time to major regions in nearly two hundred countries around the world.

And the entire internet.

It's full of hype.

Public opinion is overwhelming.

It has spread to the maximum extent.

Without a doubt, the scale of this King of Fighters tournament is unprecedented and world-class.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament".

Wow! There are so many people!

It's located on a middle floor of a building next to the ring below Shibuya 109, offering a superb vantage point overlooking the ring.

Yumi Mifune leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, her face filled with amazement.

Beside her, Yotsuba Saki was also leaning against the window, looking down with a gleam in her eyes.

She turned to Wufang Suzi beside her and whispered, "Suzi, I didn't expect your family to have bought an entire floor here. That's amazing... My grandfather seems to have thought about buying one too, but he didn't have any connections."

Suzi smiled and said, "They were all bought in the past. Back then, the Wufang family was more prosperous than it is now. Unlike my generation, we don't have the foresight of the previous generations."

Behind them, Sosuke sat calmly on the sofa, with Itō Wataru and Yotsuba Ryūhei sitting on the other side.

Yae Mei-xuan, her two younger sisters, Ryougi Ori, and Miyano Ai—the five of them—had no interest in coming to such a noisy place, so they all stayed in the dojo and didn't come out today.

"Mr. Gofu has a good eye. I heard that in the past two months, Sosuke has helped the Gofu family win several crucial duels and snatch up some lucrative prizes..."

Yotsuba Ryuhei sat upright on the sofa, leaning on his cane, exchanging pleasantries with the Wufangdu Businessmen next to him.

Wufangdu was beaming, quite pleased with Yotsuba Ryuhei's praise: "Hey! Yotsuba-sama, you flatter me. This has nothing to do with my judgment, it's all because our Suzuko has good taste! Sosuke is truly amazing. Some of those famous strongmen couldn't even last two minutes against him."

That is indeed the case.

The collaboration with Atobe Sousuke was considered by Goho Wataru to be the best investment he had ever made.

So far, he has won four consecutive Death Frenzy matches on behalf of the Five Families, and each opponent is a well-known and powerful figure with a fearsome reputation.

His most recent opponent was even a world-renowned top-tier expert.

This allowed Sosuke to complete a system function upgrade target.

Yotsuba Ryuhei sighed, "It's a pity that your Five Families beat me to it. Otherwise, I heard that my granddaughter met Sousuke first."

Wufangdu laughed heartily: "Grandpa, there's no such thing as first come, first served when it comes to this. How about this, since our Suzuko is so familiar with your Saki and Sosuke, why don't our two families cooperate on developing these deals that Sosuke won?"

"Oh? Brother Wufang, do you really mean it?" Siye Longping became interested.

“Of course it’s true, old man. You must have felt it lately—the situation is very unstable.” Wu Fangdu said with a deep frown.

Yotsuba Ryuhei immediately understood his meaning and nodded in agreement: "Indeed... The situation has been turbulent recently, and this unprecedented fighting tournament has suddenly been held. My intuition is generally not wrong. The world's landscape may be about to undergo an unprecedented and enormous change."

“Yes…” Wufang Du looked directly at the head of the Yotsuba family, “The situation has changed drastically. Because of Atobe Sousuke, our Wufang family and the Yotsuba family have a natural connection. Forming an alliance at this time is the best choice.”

Yotsuba Ryuhei nodded and smiled.

Then the two of them looked at Sosuke, who was curled up on the sofa, idly playing on his phone.

"Sousuke, what do you think about this?" Wataru asked with a smile.

Sosuke put away his phone and looked up at the two of them.

Then he revealed a carefree and unrestrained smile: "Of course I'll clap my hands and watch, Grandpa, Uncle Wufang, don't worry, as long as Saki and Motoko are still your family, I will protect them to the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown on the large screens all over the street began.

"10, 9, 8..."

"3-2-1!"

"boom!"

......

Chapter 307 The world is about to undergo a transformation!

The countdown has ended.

In the heart of Shibuya, lights flashed wildly, and cheers filled the streets.

Just as the audience was wondering who the first fighter in this ring would be,

From the main entrance of the 109 Department Store, along a glamorous red carpet, a world-renowned mixed martial arts champion roared as he charged into the ring under the spotlight.

After seeing his face clearly, the audience immediately started shouting wildly.

Then, you see the contestant pointing both fingers to the sky, pacing back and forth on the ring, shouting.

"I am Conor Rego, the King of Mixed Martial Arts!"

"I'll be the one to kick off this arena's first battle!!!"

The first to step into the ring was none other than a world-renowned top-level boxer.

Luca Group is really making a big splash.

Immediately afterwards, a three-dimensional image was suddenly projected onto the top of the arena by a mixture of light and shadow.

It was Connor's information and record.

Conor Rego

[Occupation: Mixed Martial Arts Fighter]

[Height 175cm, Weight 70kg]

[Main competitions participated in: International MMA Masters, 23 wins, 4 losses, 18 KOs]

An incredibly impressive record!

This sparked a frenzy of support from all the fighting enthusiasts present.

Just then, another spotlight shone down.

The light shone on another person on the sidelines.

The man, wearing a black cloak with gold trim, walked forward step by step. Then, with a light leap, he easily cleared the two-meter-high railing from the ground and landed steadily on the arena.

He then removed his cloak and threw it off the stage, revealing his figure.

It was a man wearing a karate uniform and a white mask.

The crowd of onlookers below, who had caused a traffic jam, immediately erupted in uproar.

It turns out he was a contestant hiding his identity.

Is the King of Fighters this wild? It's so open, allowing people to participate while concealing their identities!?

It really is completely barrier-free!

"Wow! Teacher, come quick! It's the world champion!" Yumi Mifune exclaimed as she turned around to shout when she saw Conor, a well-known figure, enter the arena.

"What's wrong?" Sosuke stood up and walked to the French windows to look down.

I happened to see the holographic projection of the second person's portrait and information.

The Mysterious Karate Master

Occupation: Karate practitioner

[Height 184cm, Weight 79kg]

[Main competitions participated in: None]

A mysterious person wearing a mask.

However, in Sousuke's eyes, all the information about this masked person was readily apparent.

Isn't this Shin Kyogoku?

Sosuke couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, what's this guy doing showing up here? Isn't this bullying people?!"

That's right, putting a top-level karate expert with a karate rating of 40 or higher against a normal world champion is just ridiculous.

Although this guy named Connor is already at the pinnacle of ordinary people.

But for those with "superhuman abilities," it's really not enough.

......

Below, on the arena of the 109 Building, Shin Kyogoku also looked helpless.

However, amidst the helplessness, there was also a hint of excitement.

Although this mission came from the Countermeasures Bureau's orders.

However, being able to play against a world champion he has been following closely is certainly an interesting experience.

He had a vague premonition that the day when these "superhumans" could openly and honestly appear before the world was just around the corner.

Across from Kyogoku Shin, Champion Conor tilted his head, looking mockingly at the masked man standing upright opposite him, and then laughed and said, "Hey, why don't you dare to compete with your real face? Are you afraid of getting beaten too badly and losing face?"

He's here. Conor McGregor is known as "The Mouth" because he's never been shy about making sarcastic remarks before, during, and after matches.

However, this guy is incredibly strong. Even though he often talks trash, few can slap him in the face. On the contrary, he often wins battles, which greatly increases his commercial value.

Shin Kyogoku shook his head: "Mr. Connor, there's no need for further pleasantries. Let's begin the match immediately."

"Alright, alright!" Connor shook his hands and clenched his fists. "I've heard that your karate practitioners have very hard fists and often have bare-knuckle fights. Today is a good day to have a go at it! I'll knock off that pretentious mask of yours and let everyone see what this charlatan is really like."

At this moment, the referee came to the stage, his face serious, and began to read out the basic rules.

"First, this competition will not have weight classes, will not require protective gear, and will not have any rules other than prohibiting the use of weapons, including strikes to vital points!"

"Secondly, the match is not decided by points. To win, you must knock your opponent down so that they cannot get up within ten seconds!"

"Third, except for knockdown, if one side falls out of the ring or concedes defeat, the other side automatically wins and may not pursue the opponent; otherwise, the opponent will be declared the loser!"

......

As he read out the rules, a high-tech projection device projected the text of the rules onto the arena in a 3D format.

"My God! This is absolutely unruly!"

"Outrageous! Are you kidding me!"

"If we play like this, people will die! People will definitely die!"

"It's incredible—but I love it!"

......

The audience below the stage couldn't help but gasp in disbelief at such outrageous rules.

However, the referee ignored the crowd's complaints.

He swung his large hand down sharply!

"above!"

"The match begins!!!"

The next second, Connor, who had been eager to try, darted out.

The rules the referee just mentioned didn't scare him.

He already knew the rules when he accepted the invitation from the Luca Group to participate in the opening match of this event.

Completely random, how interesting.

Let me see if those legendary mysterious experts are really just a charlatan.

Of course, before that, I need to cleanly and neatly knock out this guy who was assigned to warm me up!

Thinking this, Connor had already rushed up to Shin Kyogoku.

Then, with his arms that stretched beyond his own height, he unleashed a series of left and right combination punches at Shin Kyogoku.
