"Ha!"
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
This was a Taekwondo dojo that occupied a large area. Dozens of male and female students wearing white Taekwondo robes with red, yellow, white, and black belts around their waists were neatly arranged in several rows at a relatively safe distance from the door. They were performing the basic Taekwondo movements of kicking and punching with rhythmic shouts.
In the middle of them was a short-haired young man who was about 1.75 meters tall. He was wearing a modified sleeveless Daoist robe that had two fewer sleeves than his usual robe. He pretended to be dignified as he walked among the students, observing their movements. When he encountered someone who was not up to standard, he would reach out his hand to correct them.
"Master, someone is looking for you."
At this moment, a voice called out in the dojo.
"You guys continue." The young man walking in the middle of the students ordered as he turned around and walked toward the dojo's entrance.
"Master, this is the man who is looking for you." When the young man arrived at the dojo's entrance, the young student who called out to him stepped aside and pointed at another person beside him.
That person was none other than Ito Sei, who had come here to test the power system of this world after a long journey. From this, it could be inferred that this young man was the main character, Jin Jiapan.
"You are …"
Kim Jiapan looked at Sei Itō with a puzzled expression.
"I'm Sei Itō, considered a Grandmaster of Combat. I took the liberty of coming here today to spar with Master Kim. I wonder if Master Kim is willing to accept." Sei Itō held his fist together in an old-fashioned manner. He explained his intention in Korean.
Because Ito Sei didn't deliberately lower his voice, the disciples who happened to hear it immediately showed a look of astonishment on their faces. Then they snorted and talked to the disciples next to them.
"He's overestimating himself. He actually dares to challenge Master Kim."
"Doesn't he know that Master Kim is the best Grandmaster of Combat in Korea?"
"He probably wants to be famous. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Previously, when the King of Fighters Tournament ended, there were many random people who came to challenge Master Kim. "
"…"
And so on and so forth.
At the same time, Jin Jiapan's eyes flashed with a trace of either mockery or arrogance. He looked at Sei Itō from head to toe. However, when combined with the fact that the training hall's floor was ten centimeters above the ground, his height suddenly jumped to over 1.85 meters, giving him a sense of superiority.
Unfortunately, Sei Itō himself wasn't short, so not only did he not show it, he even looked like a clown.
"Welcome," Jin Jiapan said with a hearty smile on his face.
Then he turned sideways. He extended his arms in invitation.
Sei Itō cupped his fists towards Jin Jiapan again. Then, he rubbed his heels together, took off his shoes, and stepped onto the training hall floor.
"Everyone, go to the side of the training hall and sit down," Jin Jiapan turned his head and said to the students who had already stopped practicing.
With that, the students immediately spread out and lined up in front of the walls on both sides of the training hall. Then, they sat down on their knees with their backs straight.
Then, Jin Jiapan and Sei Itō walked to the center of the training hall. They stood facing each other with a distance of about three meters.
Jin Jiapan tightened the black belt around his waist again, then bowed towards Sei Itō. On the opposite side, Sei Itō also cupped his fists and leaned forward slightly, responding to the greeting.
Then, the two of them straightened up at the same time and assumed their starting positions.
Jin Jiapan raised one hand and held it in front of his face. His other hand was half-bent and stretched forward as a test hand. At the same time, he spread his legs to the sides. It was about the width of his shoulders. He turned sideways and swayed his body slightly.
On the other hand, Sei Itō assumed a basic spear stance belonging to Xingyi Fist.
The two of them looked at each other, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
A strong sense of urgency spread out from the two of them. Affected by this, the students kneeling on both sides of the training hall all unconsciously changed into nervous expressions. They subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
"Gulp."
However, the moment they swallowed their saliva, Jin Jiapan took a big step forward, crossing the empty space between the two of them and arriving in front of Sei Itō. He kicked towards Sei Itō's head.
The leg turned into an afterimage, bringing with it a sharp wind as it quickly kicked over.
Under normal circumstances, Sei Itō could deal with this kind of ordinary attack with several moves. He could even use this opportunity to counterattack Jin Jiapan. However, this was not in line with his goal, so Sei Itō did not choose to dodge or use other methods to deal with it. Instead, he raised his arm and blocked it.
"Bang."
The collision between the leg and the arm produced a muffled sound. It was also at this moment that a strange force flowed from Jin Jiapan's arm into Sei Itō's arm. It quickly spread, hindering the movement of the muscles in his arm and the transmission of electrical signals.
Sei Itō estimated that if he did not react quickly, his arm would not be completely crippled, but he would not be able to control it for a short period of time.
"Is this the truth of the so-called stiffness?" Sei Itō thought uncertainly.
However, even though he thought this, Sei Itō's movements were not slow. He immediately used his strength to disperse the force from Jin Jiapan's arm and then kicked back.
Jin Jiapan saw this and used more strength to continue his high kick towards Sei Itō. At the same time, he twisted his body and jumped up. After dodging Sei Itō's side kick, he used his other leg to kick towards Sei Itō's arm.
Sei Itō landed on the ground, lowered his head, and twisted his body. He instantly dodged under Jin Jiapan's abdomen.
Jin Jiapan, who found it difficult to land his attack, spun around and landed on the ground. He once again assumed a fighting stance and faced Sei Itō. Then, Jin Jiapan raised his right leg and kicked out with a midsection kick.
Sei Itō lowered his waist and sat in a horse stance. His ten fingers clenched tightly on the ground. A powerful force was instantly condensed into a fist under the control of his feet, legs, waist, shoulders, and arms. He fiercely punched at Jin Jiapan's feet.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion reverberated in the quiet training hall.
"Whoosh."
Under the impact of the huge explosive force, Jin Jiapan's body was quickly sent flying. Sei Itō, who was the other person receiving the force, only left two shallow footprints on the ground. There was no change.
Jin Jiapan did two backflips in a row to offset this powerful explosive force. However, at this time, Jin Jiapan's expression became serious. His eyes were no longer as relaxed as before.
"How is this possible!"
"Master Jin was actually beaten back!"
"I must be dreaming."
"…"
The students exclaimed in disbelief.
They had no choice. Their expectations of Jin Jiapan were too high, so high that they almost regarded him as the world's number one expert. They did not believe that anyone could defeat the 'invincible' Master Jin. Therefore, when this happened, it was already very good that they did not lose their minds on the spot.
"Phew." Jin Jiapan ignored the exclamations of the students on both sides and exhaled a long breath with a serious expression.
"Absolute Strength 5%, burst!" Then, Jin Jiapan shouted.
Then, in the next second. Jin Jiapan suddenly appeared in front of Sei Itō as if he had teleported. He quickly kicked at Sei Itō's neck.
It was a sure-kill move!
Sei Itō narrowed his eyes. He did not dodge, nor did he block. He allowed Jin Jiapan's leg to hook his neck. Then, he used the strength of his body to twist and throw Jin Jiapan to the ground.
"Boom!"
Amidst the muffled sound, the entire training hall shook.
And in the midst of this tremor. Sei Itō felt even more strange energy surging into his body. It froze his body and caused him to crash into the ground.
"As expected, this energy that can affect the movement of muscle tissue and the transmission of electronic nerve signals is the foundation of a Grandmaster of Combat." Sei Itō was even more convinced as he felt the energy passing through his body.
At the same time, Jin Jiapan who had completely avoided the sure-kill move took a step back to express his goodwill.
"Oh! Master Jin is the best! "
"I knew it! How can this guy be Master Jin's opponent. "
"Master Jin is the best."
"…"
In an instant. Once again, the students erupted into thunderous cheers.
However, at this time, Sei Itō who the students thought would only get up after lying down for a while got up easily. He casually patted his body twice as if he was trying to get rid of the dust.
"Absolute Strength …" Sei Itō raised his head and looked at Jin Jiapan who was surprised.
"That's right." Jin Jiapan admitted.
"As expected, this world is an extension of the Hong Kong manga's strength attribute system." Sei Itō curled his lips and thought to himself.
"Do you want to continue?" Jin Jiapan asked kindly.
"Come on, this time we'll end it in one move." Sei Itō nodded and said casually.
Jin Jiapan frowned when he heard this and nodded in agreement.
"I'll teach you a lesson."
With that thought in mind, Jin Jiapan abruptly unleashed 10% of the absolute power that he had recently mastered. In an instant. A strong aura emanated from Jin Jiapan's body.
Then, Jin Jiapan stomped his feet and leaped in front of Sei Itō in mid-air. As if he was stepping on a small staircase, he quickly kicked at Sei Itō's chest.
Sei Itō sneered. He lifted his leg and took a step forward. In the next moment, he suddenly appeared beside Jin Jiapan. Then, he turned around and kicked Jin Jiapan's back.
"Bang!"
With a huge muffled sound, Jin Jiapan's body was kicked away. And the direction he was flying in was the group of students who were kneeling on the side.
"Ah!"
Seeing such a shocking change, the students panicked and instinctively exclaimed.
"Bang!"
Then, Jin Jiapan collided with several students who couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground together.
Sei Itō withdrew his leg and stood still, waiting for Jin Jiapan to get up. It was also a courtesy to him for not taking advantage of the victory just now.
Ten seconds later, Jin Jiapan got up from the students with a gloomy face. Then, he walked back to Sei Itō and forced a smile. He said politely, "You're strong. I've lost this competition."
"Don't mention it. I just used a trick." Sei Itō also pretended to be modest.
"I've learned a lot from this competition. I'm going to cultivate in seclusion. I hope I'll have the chance to compete with you again in the King of Fighters Conference next year." Jin Jiapan first said humbly, then stared into Sei Itō's eyes.
"The King of Fighters Conference … I'll participate." Sei Itō nodded slightly and agreed.
After that, Sei Itō and Jin Jiapan chatted for a while more. Then, they bid farewell and left Jin Jiapan's Taekwondo Dojo.
"Where should I go next?" Sei Itō pondered as he stood on the streets of Korea.
"Forget it. I'll go to Japan and meet the Grandmasters of Combat who live there. At the same time, I'll wait for someone who might come knocking on my door at any time."
Thinking of this, Sei Itō did not hesitate anymore. He immediately activated Instant Transmission and disappeared from the street.
Korea and Japan were very close. They were only separated by a sea. Even if he took a normal means of transportation — a plane — it would only take one or two hours. Not to mention the exaggerated method of Instant Transmission. In less than five minutes, Sei Itō appeared in Japan.
Of course, the city was still Tokyo. After all, this was the place where Grandmasters of Combat were most likely to gather.
However, since he had arrived in Tokyo, the first thing he had to solve was the problem of accommodation. Therefore, Sei Itō simply found a well-known bank and used his hypnosis ability to control the bank staff who were just ordinary people. Then, he used them to apply for an unlimited bank card.
As for the source of the money, it was the dead accounts that existed in the banking system. Therefore, in less than half an hour, Sei Itō became a hidden rich man in the King of Fighters World. Moreover, he was the kind of rich man who had a lot of money.
Later, Ito Sei, who had money, left the bank and found a good intermediary. He bought a villa that was built on the outskirts of the city, but the nearby traffic was very convenient. Then, he moved in.
"It's really hard to live without the Internet." Sei Itō sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and watched the entertainment programs of this era. He was depressed in his heart.
It couldn't be helped. Although there were already things like computers in this era, when it came to the Internet, it was only used in a small area. Moreover, the information and data were not complete. It was not enough for him to collect information on it. Therefore, if he wanted to find people, he could only use the most ancient personnel control and retrieve information from the police system.
However, the results were not bad. After all, those Grandmasters of Combat were people with names and photos. It was not too difficult to search. Therefore, after spending some time, Sei Itō grasped the information of the locations of Kusansora Castle, Maitake Dojo, Ultimate Style Dojo, and even Tengdo Dojo, which was a pain in the ass. He also knew the home addresses of some people.
"Next, let's welcome Miss Athena Asamiya!" At this moment, the host of the show on the TV announced in an excited voice.
