Chapter 565: Direct Showdown



Bangpu Dojo, in the reception room on the second floor.

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun sat at the tea table, chatting casually.

"The martial arts of this world are indeed worth learning from."

"It's like Bangpu's Whirlwind Iron Fist. This power has a lot of room for improvement, and the training method attached to the boxing technique seems to be able to increase physical strength indefinitely over time..."

"The only problem is the universality of this training method in all the worlds."

"If it doesn't work in other worlds, then it can only be used as an ordinary means that is better than nothing..."

Lin Zhongtian enthusiastically discussed the pros and cons of "Whirlwind Iron Fist" with Li Yun.

Just now when Bangpu was fighting with Li Yun, he also learned this boxing style easily.

Moreover, his understanding of this boxing technique is much higher than Li Yun's, even slightly exceeding the level demonstrated by Bangpu.

If Bump did not hide anything, Lin Zhongtian was confident that he could defeat Bump with just the Whirlwind Iron Fist without using any other means and sealing his body.

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Li Yun nodded silently.

Many things in the One Punch Man world seem quite outrageous if placed in other worlds.

Martial arts like "Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist" and "Whirlwind Iron Slashing Fist" can only be considered second-rate in terms of their sophistication, but they can make the two brothers Bang and Bang become masters of martial arts.

Moreover, in terms of individual fighting power, they are definitely not much weaker than some characters in the high-level martial arts world.

"Anyway, discovering such a world is a good thing."

"Take back everything you can!"

While they were chatting, they glanced at Gu Changwen who was making tea not far away.

The sound was isolated within a range of one meter between the two people and did not reach Gu Changwen's ears.

Of course, even if the two of them did not isolate themselves from the noise, Gu Changwen might not have the mind to eavesdrop on their conversation.

He had mixed feelings at the moment, including excitement about discovering that the two people might be time travelers, but also nervousness, anxiety and uneasiness about their purpose in coming.

Soon, he took a deep breath and walked over to the two of them with a steaming cup and teapot.

"Brothers, please have some tea!"

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

Lin Zhongtian took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and placed it in front of him.

"The tea is great. It looks like the gym is doing very well!"

"Brother Lin, you're joking." Gu Changwen smiled as he sat across from the two of them. He suppressed his anxiety and said casually, "You two know what this world is like. There are all kinds of weirdos and disasters everywhere. Those rich people are worried about their personal safety, so they are naturally willing to spend a lot of money on personal security."

"Our gym is well-known. Not only Master Bangpu, but even our disciples are champions of martial arts competitions in various places."

"With both strength and reputation guaranteed, and a little bit of price discount, it will definitely be the first choice for wealthy people..."

Lin Zhongtian nodded: "That being said, Brother Gu still deserves great credit for running the gym into what it is now!"

Gu Changwen said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you are too kind... I wonder what brings you two here?"

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun looked at each other and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Zhongtian and his name is Li Yun. We are both wanderers from our hometown like you."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, ringing in Gu Changwen's ears.

He stared at Lin Zhongtian blankly, suppressing the throbbing in his heart, and pretended to be calm and asked: "Brother Lin, what you said is a little confusing to me. May I ask where is your so-called hometown?"

Lin Zhongtian sighed and said quietly: "People say that the sunset is the end of the world, but I can't see my home even if I look to the end of the world..."

This poem is a seven-character quatrain written by Li Gou in the Song Dynasty. It describes the helplessness and pain of a wanderer who has no way to return home.

When Lin Zhongtian read out the poem at this time, he not only named the identities of the three travelers, but also revealed his own identity as a time traveler through poetry. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone and was quite clever.

But unfortunately, Gu Changwen had never heard of this poem, and he didn't know whether it was written by Lin Zhongtian or by a poet in his previous life.

He savored the meaning of the poem and praised it sincerely: "Brother Lin is so talented!"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian's face froze, and he couldn't help asking, "You haven't heard of Li Gou's "Homesickness"?"

Gu Changwen was bewildered: "Who is Li Gou?"

Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Li Yun who was trying not to laugh, and said unhappily, "You must have been a science student in your previous life, right?"

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's straightforward words, Gu Changwen shuddered and straightened his back.

"Could it be that... Could it be that you..."

Gu Changwen's lips trembled slightly and he looked at the two of them excitedly.

Lin Zhongtian sighed and said, "Don't pretend, you've already discovered it!"

"The characters and roles in this world are all limited in the early stages. It makes no sense that you wouldn't be able to spot two powerful strangers who suddenly appeared. Similarly, we discovered you in the same way."

"So... let's talk openly!"

As Lin Zhongtian's light words came, Gu Changwen's exaggerated face gradually regained its composure.

Although he was indeed extremely shocked by the existence of the two people, he was mentally prepared and would not exaggerate to such an extent.

Gu Changwen smiled bitterly and said, "Since Brother Lin knows everything, it would be a bit boring if I don't tell him the truth..."

"Okay, I am indeed a time traveler, and I did discover your identities before this. It's just that your strength is beyond my imagination. I am worried, so I acted this way."

Li Yun smiled and nodded, "It's human nature, I can understand it."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and asked, "When did you travel through time?"

Gu Changwen thought about it for a moment, then sighed and said, "About four months ago. How about you two?"

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun looked at each other and said with a smile, "Almost."

Gu Changwen was slightly stunned: "So, it only took you four months to become so powerful?"

“…How did you do that?”

Gu Changwen's eyes became a little hot.

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Yun, and said leisurely, "Do you really want to know?"

Gu Changwen said without hesitation: "Of course!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Then tell me about your time travel experience first!"

Gu Changwen was stunned for a moment and looked around hesitantly.

"Speaking here?"

Lin Zhongtian waved his hand.

In an instant, silver light burst out, and a translucent silver shield enveloped the place where the three people were.

"I've set up a soundproof barrier. No one will hear it except us, so go ahead!"

“…”

Looking at the smiling face of Lin Zhongtian, Gu Changwen's heart trembled. After a little thought, he slowly said, "My predecessor who traveled through time was a hero who once appeared in the anime. He was the B-class hero 'Glasses' who was defeated by Garou in the second season. He was originally a member of the hero faction Blizzard, but later withdrew from the Blizzard group due to Saitama's admonition..."

Gu Changwen slowly recounted his experiences after traveling through time.

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun just sat there and listened quietly.

Not long after, Gu Changwen finished talking about his experiences over the past four months, and then he pushed up his glasses and said with a wry smile, "That's how it is. Since leaving the Fubuki Group, I have thought of many ways to survive in this world, but in the end, I can only practice martial arts and become stronger in peace."

"It's just... you also know how dangerous this world is."

"If you want to survive the dragon-level or even god-level disasters in the future, you can't just rely on martial arts training. That's too slow. So I really want to know, how did you become stronger?"

As he spoke, Gu Changwen looked at Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun with fiery and expectant eyes.

In the world of One Punch Man, disasters are divided into five levels.

Wolf level: Dangerous factors emerge.

Tiger: May cause casualties.

Ghost level: Can cause a city to be paralyzed or destroyed.

Dragon level: Can cause several cities to fall into destruction.

God level: May cause the extinction of mankind.

Before the plot of One Punch Man unfolds, many dragon-level and even god-level disasters were secretly eliminated by Saitama.

But as the plot unfolds, various ghost-level, dragon-level, and even god-level disasters emerge one after another.

As a time traveler who knows the plot, it is normal for Gu Changwen to feel such a sense of urgency...

"But if you just want to survive, you can go find Saitama, right?"

Lin Zhongtian looked at Gu Changwen with a smile and said.

Gu Changwen's expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, "Even Saitama cannot protect everyone. If you want to survive the future disaster, you still have to rely on your own strength."

"Besides, in this world, who wouldn't want to be a superhero who can fly and hide?"

"You are quite frank." Lin Zhongtian smiled, then turned to look at Li Yun, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

Li Yun ignored Lin Zhongtian's joke, thought for a moment, and said softly, "This world itself has a screening mechanism. If he doesn't meet the alliance's standards, with his obsession with pursuing power, he would have become a weirdo long ago..."

At this point, Li Yun paused, looked at Gu Changwen and asked, "You're not a weirdo, are you?"

Gu Changwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, do you think it's possible?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "It is indeed impossible. Don't forget, he is a time traveler, and a time traveler like us. If he really turned into a weirdo, how could he be so weak as he is now."

Lin Zhongtian said it lightly, and Li Yun nodded in agreement.

Only Gu Changwen's mouth twitched, and he kept complaining in his heart.

I'm so embarrassed that I'm so weak!

And compared to ordinary people, B-level heroes are not that weak, right?

The body of the predecessor originally had a talent for martial arts, and the upper limit of training and strengthening was far beyond that of ordinary people. It was at least at the level of Captain America...

Gu Changwen complained in his heart and refuted at the same time.

However, facing Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun who were able to beat Bangpu up, he was too embarrassed to speak out what was in his heart.

After all, for beings like Li Yun and Lin Zhongtian, a Captain America-level body is no different from that of an ordinary person.

At this moment, Lin Zhongtian suddenly took out a jade token and looked at the patterns on it thoughtfully.

"Let's go!"

Lin Zhongtian suddenly stood up, glanced at Gu Changwen who looked puzzled, and said with a smile: "We can tell you about our business in a few days. Now there is someone who wants to come over. You can go with us to meet him. He may be able to solve your problem."

Gu Changwen was confused and asked subconsciously: "Who?"

Li Yun looked at the empty jade token in his hand and sighed, "A rich dog owner."
