Zhang Bairen, who crossed through myriad worlds, joined the Multiverse Mutual Aid Chat Group.
From then on, I, Zhang Bairen, relied not on heaven, not on earth, only on myself!
Kengan A...
"Whirlwind Iron Slash Fist!"
"Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist!"
The two sets of boxing techniques collided with a thunderous crash, like a whirlwind and flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, fists and feet collided hundreds of times.
Saitama watched intently, finding it very entertaining.
King also possessed true energy; although it was difficult to see clearly, it still felt incredibly powerful.
Only Zhang Bairen was appreciating the skill and tacit understanding between the two.
Approaching the Tao, reaching the pinnacle of skill, having a tacit understanding, and being able to sense each other—these are the most appropriate adjectives.
The terrifying force, enough to shatter mountains and split the earth, was hidden in his fists and feet, but it did not damage the wooden floor beneath his feet.
This level of control and tacit understanding is truly unparalleled.
A dozen minutes later, the two elderly men stepped back at the same time, ending their friendly sparring session.
Zhang Bairen realized that their Haki was only at the beginner level; even in the world of One Piece, their Haki level was top-tier.
Their Armament Haki is comparable to that of a Marine Admiral, their Observation Haki is capable of foreseeing the future, but their Conqueror's Haki is still somewhat lacking.
It seems that cultivating domineering power from a high vantage point is indeed like having a cheat code.
With their physical abilities and martial arts intuition, they could easily reach a state of mastery once they mastered the basics of Overbearing Qi.
Zhang Bairen is having a party and having fun.
The martial arts association, meanwhile, is leveraging Banggu's fame and status to launch a massive publicity campaign.
Bang hasn't participated in martial arts tournaments in recent years, but now with this S-class third-ranked hero in attendance, along with Bang's brother Bomb, it's enough to cause a sensation in the entire martial arts world.
Even the Monster Association is getting restless.
"Hero, it is said that the Bang brothers will personally attend this martial arts tournament."
"You consider yourself the best martial artist in the world, are you interested in joining in the fun this time?" A homeless man wearing a crown asked casually.
"Banggu, Bangpu."
"Hmph, those two old geezers." Haojie crossed his arms and spoke sarcastically.
But in reality, there was no direct response.
As a former master of martial arts, Haojie knew very well just how strong these two old guys were.
Even if I become a monster and become even stronger, I might still be no match for them.
Although the heroes were afraid in their hearts, they could not lose face verbally.
"Hmph, if you're interested, you can go over there yourself."
"I don't want to disobey the association's orders and expose its existence!" Haojie replied coldly.
On the other side, a handsome man with long hair was enjoying a blissful life, with women on his left and right.
Suddenly, the phone rang in my ear.
"Seriously, who would call at this hour?" The man picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, is this Mr. Shuilong? I'm a staff member of the Martial Arts Association, and I'd like to invite you to participate in this year's Martial Arts Tournament." A young woman's voice came from the phone.
Upon hearing the sound, the previously irritated water dragon immediately revealed a cynical smile.
"Oh, the martial arts association? I'm so sorry, I'm not planning to participate this year."
"Maybe we can consider it next year," Shuilong replied.
"However, Mr. Shuilong, there are many distinguished guests attending this year."
Moreover, this year's bonus is slightly higher than in previous years. The staff responsible for notifying the water taps are still working hard.
"A heavyweight guest? The prize money is higher than in previous years?" Shui Long hesitated after hearing the keywords.
If things proceed as they normally would, Shuilong would have spent all his prize money next year and gone to the martial arts tournament to earn more.
Now, I'm almost out of spending money.
So, I was slightly tempted when I heard about the bonus.
"Yes, Mr. Water Dragon."
This martial arts tournament has invited Master Bangu and Master Bomb, as well as Master Bomb's disciple, who once saved a martial arts master from City A.
In addition, members of the Hero Association will also be present in person.
They want to select some elite martial artists to join the Hero Association.
"The prize money has increased this year thanks to the Hero Association's generous support," the girl, acting as the persuader, explained enthusiastically.
In fact, the Hero Association's actions were also related to Zhang Bairen.
Originally, the Hero Association already had Bang and Atomic Samurai, genuine martial arts masters.
Not long ago, Zhang Bairen single-handedly eliminated the Vaccine Man, making the higher-ups of the Hero Association realize once again the power of martial artists.
That's why they came up with the idea of inviting masters from the martial arts world to supplement the Hero Association's mid-to-high-end combat power.
"Bang, Bomb, and the Hero Association," Suiryu muttered to himself, then asked, "If I participate in this competition and win the championship, may I make a reasonable request to the spectators?"
The girl who was acting as the persuader was at a loss for words when Shui Long asked her question.
"I need to ask about that," the girl replied.
"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing to do."
That's right, I want to test the true strength of a professional hero.
Since they want to recruit heroes in the martial arts world, if I win the championship, I should be qualified to challenge them, right?
"At the very least, we should know their strength level," Water Dragon said.
"Mr. Water Dragon, I cannot make a decision."
"I need to consult with you about this matter," the girl replied softly.
"Okay, go and inquire. Let me know when you have any news."
"Also, I think your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Would you be interested in meeting up and grabbing a coffee?" Shui Long asked.
"Of course, if I have any news, I can come and tell you," the girl replied with a smile.
"Haha, okay, I'll wait for your news." After saying that, Shui Long hung up the phone and threw himself back into the arms of the beautiful woman.
Clearly, the management of the martial arts association also knew the general situation of the water dragon.
Therefore, they specifically asked a pretty girl with a pleasant voice to inform the water dragon.
If it were a male, he would probably be unable to communicate effectively.
On the street, a hungry wolf, who was wandering around, saw an advertisement for a martial arts tournament.
"So many familiar faces have appeared in this year's martial arts competition."
"My dear master, and that wretched bastard, you would be quite surprised if I suddenly appeared before you, wouldn't you?" the hungry wolf muttered to himself.
The current Garou has not yet begun his hero hunt.
Ever since he went berserk and drove away all the disciples of the dojo, Bang had knocked him out of the dojo with his "unassailable" punches.
After suffering a crushing defeat, Garou was left with a lingering trauma and began training alone.
Now that some progress has been made, he plans to return to the workforce.
For Garou, this martial arts tournament is a trial.
Once you complete the trial, you can begin the Hero Hunt.
"Zhang Bairen, you're my target this time!" Hungry Wolf clenched his fist tightly.
As the best disciple of both dojos, Garou, before he turned into a monster, was completely overwhelmed by Zhang Bairen.
So, apart from Bang's boxing style leaving a psychological scar on Garou,
Zhang Bairen, who is even stronger, is also an insurmountable mountain.
This time, after several years of practice.
The hungry wolf was confident that he could remove the mountain that had once blocked his way.
