I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sosuke shrugged, letting Jamie, who dared not look at him, hurriedly run away.

Then, he leisurely got dressed and left the hotel.

Well, I originally came here to discuss serious matters after being summoned by the Celestial Elder, but ended up eating a fast food meal in a daze.

As expected, Ms. Killer Bee kept her word.

We could consider collaborating with her a few more times in the future.

......

Sosuke left the hotel and headed back towards the dojo.

On the way, he took out his phone and dialed the number of the black strongman, Mutba.

"Hey, cheap boss, you have so much free time to come see me?" The call was answered quickly.

Sousuke's keen hearing detected the faint, suggestive breathing of a woman coming from the other end of the line, near the "tortured one."

He muttered to himself, speechless, "What are you doing? Should I contact you later?"

“No need—” Mutba laughed. “The first four are all taken care of. This is the last one. Let her do it herself. If you have any instructions, please let us know.”

Goodness, five.

Is there anyone in this world who can compare to my physical body in that respect?

Good, I approve of you!

Sousuke gave a brief moment of praise, then got down to business: "How did the investigation I asked you to do go?"

He had previously asked Mutba to help investigate whether there was any conspiracy behind the King of Fighters tournament, hence this question.

“Uh…” Mutba’s voice was a little embarrassed. “To be honest, I haven’t found anything special about this.”

"Your business skills aren't very good," Sosuke remarked.

"Boss, you need to understand, this competition is backed by the Luca Group, and even more mysteriously, the Ring Serpent. It's only been a few days, what can I possibly find out..."

Mutba said helplessly.

"Alright, I didn't have high hopes for you anyway. Now, let me ask you about something else. I wonder if you have any news about it." Sōsuke thought for a moment, then didn't press the matter further. "You know that a lot of superhumans have died recently, right?"

"Hmm!?" Mutba's voice became excited. "Then you've come to the right person. I actually know the answer to this."

"Oh? Tell me more." Sosuke's eyes lit up.

......

More than ten minutes later, Atobe Sousuke returned to his dojo after exchanging messages with Mutba.

Seeing that Motoko, Yumi, and Saki, who had already taken leave, had all returned to the dojo, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Once the temple has answered the question, things will be much easier.

Currently, the White Night Dojo has eight disciples besides him, as well as two non-disciples, Miyano Ai and Kohira.

And as long as they are his disciples, even if their combat power is low, their basic self-defense level is over "20".

Based on this, the system's bonuses to the disciples are calculated, and the eight disciples at the sect level share the bonuses proportionally. In actual combat, even the lowest-level disciples have the strength of level 34 or 35.

These are still the Sakura and Rin sisters in the first stage, and they can only enjoy the 10% level bonus from Sousuke.

Once Yumi, Motoko, and Ori reach the second stage, they can enjoy a 30% level bonus from Sosuke, making their protective skills level almost "40" in actual combat.

In the third stage, Kuno Maruko, Yotsuba Saki, and Mei Xuan can enjoy a "50%" bonus.

Especially Yae Mei-xuan, whose swordsmanship skill was already over "40", and after the boost, her level directly reached Sousuke's base level, which is "53".

Such power would be considered exceptionally strong even in large organizations with superhumans.

Don't you see, the "Black Crow" that made a name for itself internationally before, the only truly high-end superhumans were Wesker and Mutba, who was employed by them for a long time.

With one being mad and the other being ruthless, they already possess sufficient special martial prowess.

Not to mention the "One Madman Leading Seven Masters" of the White Night Dojo.

Furthermore, each character has a powerful additional attribute that further enhances their strength.

It's likely that even the group hiding in the shadows, specializing in hunting extraordinary individuals, won't be able to wipe out the White Night Dojo in a short time.

Even if Sousuke isn't guarding the dojo, it's safe enough.

Sosuke does indeed plan to go out.

He gathered everyone together, told them the information he had learned from the celestial being of Fenglin Temple, and asked everyone not to act alone in the near future.

Clearly, there were no fools among the people at the White Night Dojo, and the girls immediately indicated that they understood.

Yae Meixuan sat cross-legged with a carefree attitude: "Don't worry, I'm in hot form lately. If any villains dare to show their faces, I'll kill them with one strike."

After thinking for a moment, she added smugly, "It's still amazing even without showing your face!"

After enjoying the benefits of being a disciple, this beautiful master's strength increased greatly, and now she has a rather arrogant air about her being the best in the world.

"Sousuke-kun, I'll talk to my family and ask them to arrange for bodyguards to come and protect us in the vicinity, that way it will be safer."

Saki mustered her courage and raised her hand to speak.

Motoko nodded in agreement: "Saki's suggestion is good. I'll have some people from my family come over too, that way we'll be even more sure of everything going smoothly."

Yumi grinned nonchalantly, "Hehe, it feels so good to be able to take a two-week leave from class without any worries!"

Ryougi Ori didn't say much, only glancing at Atobe Sousuke with a flickering gaze, lost in thought: 'Right now it's just a kiss with Shihan, but I always feel like Shihan has done something deeper with other students. I need to find an opportunity...'

Unexpectedly, this UR-level top disciple was not only skilled in martial arts but also incredibly diligent.

Even if her relationship with the dojo master progresses, she still wants to get involved.

Sousuke glanced around and then noticed that Miyano Ai, who was unable to fight, seemed somewhat dejected.

A thought struck him, and he took out the madness inhibitor that Cammy had given him earlier from his pocket and handed it to the beautiful researcher, saying, "Miyano, this is a drug I obtained from elsewhere. There's only one available. Do you have the means to research its ingredients?"

When Ai Miyano heard that Sousuke needed her help, her eyes lit up immediately, and she took the small glass bottle from Sousuke's hand: "I can't guarantee success, but I should be able to get something out of it."

She then immediately expressed her difficulty: "However, the dojo doesn't have the professional equipment, so the research might be much slower..."

Seeing this, Motoko immediately said from the side, "What equipment does Miyano-nee need? The Motoko family is also involved in some pharmaceutical industries, and I can have my family purchase it for you."

Ai Miyano excitedly grabbed Motoko's hand: "I'll write you a list later; those devices are all quite expensive..."

"It's alright." Wu Fang Suzi waved her hand quite generously, clearly indicating that the cost of the equipment was not something that would make the Wu Fang family feel the pinch.

After making arrangements for his companions, Sosuke immediately began preparing for his own operation.

He did get some useful information from Mutbana.

Now, the plan is to strike first and take the initiative to investigate.

The so-called preparation is actually just organizing the equipment.

A long sword made of Orichalcos steel, along with arm armor and chainmail lining.

Then, based on his design requirements, Motoko commissioned a high-tech research institute to custom-make a special combat trench coat.

The trench coat is normal overall, but hidden inside the hem is a ring of sharp blades that can pop out and retract at any time depending on Sousuke's actions.

By swinging the hem in a special way, Sousuke can use the sharp blades attached to the hem to cause terrifying destruction.

This is equipment that Sousuke specially designed and customized to facilitate the use of his SSR weapon technique, "Zanpu Swallow Break".

In addition, there are two specially customized ultra-thin alloy playing cards, all of which are "jokers".

Sousuke has been busy participating in competitions lately, so he hasn't had many opportunities to use these equipment.

However, now that we are about to carry out some potentially dangerous and bloody operations, the better the equipment, the better.

After being fully armed, Sosuke told everyone and quickly got on his motorcycle and left the dojo.

His target is the mountain range located west of Hachioji City, west of Tokyo.

According to Mutba's information.

Just this morning, a person with superhuman abilities went missing in this area.

Seven extraordinary individuals, traveling together, disappeared in the deep mountains.

Chapter 373 The Strongest Detective - Atobe Sousuke

When Atobe Sousuke arrived at the foot of the mountain that Mutba had mentioned, it was already close to dusk.

He came to a small convenience store by the roadside.

The middle-aged male boss was dozing off, his chin resting on his hand.

Sosuke tapped on the table, waking him up.

The man looked at Sosuke curiously, but since Sosuke was wearing a mask, the man couldn't recognize him as the recently popular fighting champion: "Welcome, sir, what can I do for you?"

"Manager, I'm looking for some people. Have you seen these people before?" Sosuke took out his phone and pulled up the photos of the missing people that Mutaba had sent him.

The store manager glanced at his phone screen and immediately blurted out, "I've seen it! Three groups of people have come to ask about these people today!"

Hmm... that's normal.

Sosuke smiled nonchalantly. The disappearance and death of superhumans was a major event that would definitely trigger an investigation by the Japanese authorities.

"Um, could you tell me what they bought at the store, and if they said anything else?"

A few minutes later, Atobe Sousuke walked out of the convenience store.

Based on the information given by the boss, he stood at the entrance to the mountain path, his eyes slightly darting around.

SSR Mystic Art - Eagle's Senses.

The next second, the entire field of vision subtly changed.

Many lights and shadows were added to the real world he saw, like augmented reality.

The subtle clues and hints that would normally go unnoticed by him were now actively collected by his sixth sense, then materialized into hazy light and shadow, becoming very clear instructions for him.

Perhaps, hidden enemies are difficult for the police and countermeasures bureau to find, but for Sosuke, as long as there are clues, he can follow them.

He followed the light and shadow and quickly entered the forest.

As he entered sparsely populated environments with less and less interference from complex information, the effectiveness of his special skills became increasingly powerful.

In his eyes, he could almost "see" the seven extraordinary individuals who were going into the mountains together, intending to see the original scenery of Japan, chatting and laughing as they made their way forward.

Half an hour later, as darkness was about to fall, he arrived at a forest deep in the mountains.

Finally, we saw the scene, which showed obvious signs of vandalism.

And bloodstains everywhere.

He looked at the chaotic and terrifying scene, but in his field of vision, one of the seven humanoid figures that had been relaxed and at ease was suddenly tackled to the ground by some "strange" thing.

The other six humanoid figures were initially startled and quickly separated, but then reacted swiftly and surrounded the enemy, launching an attack on the one who had tackled their companion.

Immediately afterwards, as if he were there in person, Sosuke's gaze darted around rapidly, as if he could see these lights and shadows being knocked away one by one, and then crashing into the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, leaving behind a lot of damage.

Based on this information, he gradually sketched out the physical form of that "enemy" in his mind, which was also a humanoid creature.

"Hmm... one against seven, although they all seem to be guys who aren't even at the Supreme level."

Sousuke stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "My opponent is at least a high-ranking Supreme-level, or even a Berserker-level guy..."

However, since concrete signs of a struggle have been found, it means he is not far from his goal.

Sosuke turned his head and looked into the depths of the woods.

Night has fallen.

......

West of Hachioji City, deep in the mountains.

"Spare me...spare my life!"

"His!"

"Whoosh..."

A desperate scream, followed by the low, animalistic panting.
