Chapter 306

"... Rei, I might never forget this moment for the rest of my life..."

The whites of his eyes were instantly covered by protruding red bloodshot veins, looking extremely terrifying. But Yu Da, the successor of the Red Crane Fist, whose star of destiny was the "Star of Enchantment—the star of beauty and wisdom," felt for the first time that his heart had been completely taken away.

He hugged his knees tightly on the seat that automatically rose in "Tifuri City." After saying this to the handsome man of similar age beside him, he silently buried his head between his strong and graceful arms.

Yu Da, who boasted, "I am the most beautiful... the strongest man in the world created by God!" was just such a stubborn, arrogant narcissist and paranoid. He was incomparably convinced of and intoxicated by his own beauty.

He had never had 'human' friends. Even those martial artists who were stronger than him were not considered "beautiful" in his eyes, and everyone would be subjected to his equal ridicule and sarcasm. Perhaps, after all these years, only Rei could make him look at him slightly seriously.

Today, he saw many incredible, huge, and brilliant rays of light that seemed to want to burn him to ashes.

The martial artists who gathered included those who were ranked alongside him as the Six Holy Men: Rei of the Water Bird Fist, Shu of the White Heron Fist, Shin the successor of the Lone Eagle Fist, Souther of the Phoenix Fist, and the Nanto Goshasei: Fudo of the Mountain, Rihaku of the Sea, Shuren of the Flames, Juza of the Clouds, and Zaku of the Falcon Fist, etc.

Besides these Nanto men, there were some people he didn't know, such as Ryuga of the Taishan Heavenly Wolf Fist, Rima of the Broken Army Star, and Kaioh, Hyo, and Han of the Super Beidou Liu Fist, and Falco of the Gento Koken...

Every martial artist's posture as they soared toward the sky when throwing a punch was so beautiful, dazzling, and powerful, a world of difference from the crude and ugly ones he had once thought of. But if it were just that, this arrogant and stubborn Star of Enchantment would still not be easily convinced. In his unique aesthetics, he would still not think he had lost to them in terms of "beauty."

Until he saw the four brothers who entrusted their lives to the word "Fist." Their powerful will drove every inch of their bodies, their wholehearted will was concentrated together, and their spirit to overthrow everything roared toward the sky, never giving up.

It seemed that as long as they existed, desperate situations would never come, the end of the world would never come, and the will of heaven was embodied at that moment.

The heroes of the current age, the Super Beidou among men.

The saviors of the world!

That momentum of resisting everything was truly intoxicating.

Just by bearing their casual glance, Yu Da felt as if he had been punched directly in the heart. His chest felt tight, he was short of breath, and his whole body trembled, as if he had seen eternity in an instant.

Just imagining that there were still existences like them in the world made him jealous to the point of madness, but in the end, he couldn't do anything either.

The young man named Yu Da finally realized one thing—

So, I... am not such a special existence.

One in a hundred? One in a thousand?

Even if he was a one-in-ten-thousand martial arts genius, one in a hundred thousand, one in a million, what did that count for in front of those four successors of the Super Beidou Divine Fist? In front of the four of them, he, Yu Da, seemed like a smug clown.

How could he not feel lost, painful... and ashamed?

"I am not unable to understand your thoughts..."

The handsome man with blue long hair on Yu Da's right didn't speak, but another man beside him spoke after a slight pause.

"But! Lift your head! Open your eyes and look! Deeply imprint everything that happens next into your eyes!"

Shu took off the black cloth tied over his eyes. He was not blind. No one knew why he did this, only he himself knew—from today on, he would no longer have to fear his eyes being burned, but could truly see a bright future.

Facing Yu Da of the Red Crane Fist, who was lost and frustrated, Shu, the eldest of the contemporary Six Holy Men and the Star of Benevolence, pointed forward to the four brothers who were kirakira shining.

"Reflect on why you lost so uglily, and then obtain a firm, tranquil mind for cultivation and progress... Doubt yourself, and then exhaust everything to approach them!"

The beauty he had always pursued, the true beauty, existed right there!

"Hmph, uninteresting."

The blonde man with a slicked-back hairstyle sitting in front of them snorted coldly without looking back, but if someone could observe from the front, they would be able to see the intense unwillingness revealed in Souther's expression.

He, the strongest successor of the Phoenix Fist, had actually failed to do anything!

With his self-esteem, how could he endure being so weak and incompetent?

"No, it won't do!"

At this moment, an intense emotion surged in the hearts of I don't know how many people present. That should be called—'Fighting Spirit'!

About a thousand martial artists from Nanto, Super Beidou, Gento, the Land of Shura, and those who inherited other fist arts gathered in this floating city as spectators, friends, and witnesses.

Zzzzt—!

A powerful electric guitar melody rang out, as if it were a very powerful melody, a song written by someone in some future era. At this very moment, four figures appeared at the main entrance.

He wasn't very clear about the origin of this melody, but a strange feeling suddenly appeared. Yu Da's goosebumps rose instantly. What were these four people coming here to do?

"This love, anger, and sorrow oh oh oh oh oh oh. mp3!!" Unrestrainedly shouting loudly on the stage, Jia Ji, who was originally shirtless, was now wearing a punk rivet leather jacket, ripped jeans, shoulder armor with huge metal spikes, and a fierce helmet that completely covered his face.

Ken Shi Lang's strong pectoral muscles squeezed a small red vest full, Toki was in his usual white martial arts uniform, and Raoh was wearing a set of armor that fit his figure. Everyone had their own characteristics, and everyone held a "weapon" from the stage in their hands.

Although it was the end of the century, it was not a wasteland. Their unique attire, their style, and their actions attracted everyone's attention.

"What exactly are we going to play?"

Toki couldn't help but ask. Until he got on stage, he didn't know what he was going to do, and he hadn't even rehearsed once.

Band performances must be rehearsed.

Otherwise, how could you run a band well?

Even if it was his first time on stage, his sense of responsibility didn't allow him to mess it up.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Ji's heart beat violently, as if it were a dense drumbeat.

He had to admit that this was definitely an adventurous thing. The original function of "Tifuri City" was to use human resonance harmonics to create songs that destroyed or repaired the world, but that was controlled by Carol's superb technical level.

And he wanted to use "Tifuri City" to amplify his singing voice, thereby achieving the unification of all mankind—absolutely, absolutely crazy and irrational. Any human with normal logical thinking would think this was impossible, simply nonsense, but...

"Get ready, Toki, we're going to sing a lullaby for everyone next!" Jia Ji smiled at his second brother.

That was a lullaby.

That was a lullaby for humanity,

A lullaby for the end of the century.

—"Eternal Lullaby"
