Chapter 7: Pre-judgment

Deep night.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue spent the night teasing the cat until two in the morning; teasing for 1 hour adds 1 point of favorability.

Added to the chance encounter and feeding at the bar, Bu Zhi Bu Jue has currently accumulated 30 points of favorability.

Gritting his teeth and working a bit harder, Bu Zhi Bu Jue will be able to command the Treasure Cat to steal skills again.

This brief exchange with Yagami Iori made Bu Zhi Bu Jue truly understand just how terrifying the ultimate physical techniques of the top powerhouses here are.

The Konoha Style Rigid Physical Technique is no longer enough; if Bu Zhi Bu Jue wants to dominate these King of Fighters freaks, he must either have exquisite and terrifying physical technique skills, or obtain a sublimation of his physique.

Thinking and thinking, Bu Zhi Bu Jue slowly drifted into sleep.

In the dojo room on the other side.

Shiranui Mai briefly recounted the general events of tonight to Shiranui Hanzo.

Of course, she erased the part about getting Bu Zhi Bu Jue drunk, to avoid Shiranui Hanzo noticing anything.

Shiranui Hanzo did not dwell on why Shiranui Mai took Bu Zhi Bu Jue to the underground bar.

He said with a melancholy face: "Yagami Iori..."

Compared to Shiranui Mai, Shiranui Hanzo was clearer about some ancient rumors passed down.

"You should stay far away from him next time you see him; just treat him like a god of plague."

"Yes, Father. If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest first."

"Mai, wait a moment."

Shiranui Hanzo kept Shiranui Mai behind, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "The Binglong Sect has issued a challenge again, and they have made a big deal out of this matter; the format is a 3-on-3 tag-team elimination match, and the loser must unconditionally submit to the winner..."

The winner takes all, and the loser is left with nothing?

Shiranui Mai's expression was grave; she seemed to think of something: "The Binglong Sect has already witnessed Bu Zhi Bu Jue's strength; logically speaking, they shouldn't be so... arrogant."

Unless the Binglong Sect is very confident in winning this rematch!

"Foreign aid." Shiranui Hanzo was certain the Binglong Sect would definitely bring in powerful foreign aid.

The format is a tag-team elimination match; theoretically, a one-versus-three scenario could occur.

Shiranui Hanzo had thoroughly figured out what the Binglong Sect was plotting.

The one who knows you best is never your friend, but always your opponent and enemy.

The Binglong Sect.

Binglong Qingzhi was reprimanding Bob and the others.

Not only did they go to an underground bar during this critical period, but they even clashed with people from the Shiranui School.

This was how stupid and unwise.

Bob and the others felt very wronged; although they had that thought, they had pulled back from the brink in the end.

Who the hell knows why that guitar snapped on its own.

Bob and the others could only swallow this blame.

"This Bu Zhi Bu Jue is really weird; even that Yagami Iori didn't get any advantage from him."

Bob had something he didn't know whether to say or not; Senior Brother Jack was still in the hospital bed, and the Binglong Sect was currently leaderless; choosing to open fire on the Shiranui School at this time was truly very irrational.

Who is Binglong Qingzhi? He has eaten more salt than Bob has eaten rice.

"Hmph, rest assured, this time I have already invited foreign aid, and one of them is an expert sent by Geese from South Town."

Upon hearing this, Bob's expression was a bit blank, then he quickly revealed a look of sudden realization.

Geese of South Town, a ruthless person and big shot famous in the underground world.

Geese Howard, a legendary name!

It is said that this person's background is a mystery; his past before arriving in South Town was completely enigmatic. Ever since he betrayed the sect of the Eight Extremities Fist grandmaster Tang Fulu, he started a life of cheating.

He dominated South Town, ruled the underground black forces, once came to Yinghuaguo to apprentice under Zhoufang Chensi (Blue Mary's maternal grandfather), later returned to South Town to build Geese Tower, and in the end, it was even rumored that this person killed his senior brother of many years!

He can be called a formidable and ruthless overlord!

"Correct, I had business dealings with Geese in South Town in my early years. I talked to him this time, and he is very willing to send people to help our Binglong Sect."

Thinking of this, Binglong Qingzhi revealed a cruel smile.

As long as he can replace the status of the Shiranui School, Binglong Qingzhi is willing to do anything.

Bob had nothing to say, only his face was a bit ashen.

Cooperating with a ruthless person like Geese is undoubtedly conspiring with a tiger.

Who knows if you will be eaten by the other party at the first opportunity?

Unfortunately, Binglong Qingzhi could no longer listen; what else could Bob do?

Binglong Qingzhi dismissed Bob and sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, deep in thought.

Although Geese promised to send someone, there was only one foreign aid.

Jack's injuries would heal soon, and he should be able to compete then, but one spot was still missing.

This is a 3v3 tag-team elimination match; missing even one person is a huge loss.

Send Bob along?

Binglong Qingzhi quickly dismissed this thought.

Bob is just a hopeless case.

"Sigh, it seems I still need to find a powerful foreign aid locally."

After Binglong Qingzhi finished speaking, he seemed to have a suitable candidate in mind.

"Flower Butterfly Dance~"

"Bishatsunibachi!"

"Dragon Flame Dance."

"Flying Dragon Flame Formation!"

Shiranui Mai was constantly practicing the ninja techniques of the Shiranui School in the practice room.

The day of the decisive battle against the Binglong Sect was the day after tomorrow, and as the next head of the Shiranui School, she naturally occupied one of the spots to compete.

This decisive battle was not just a matter for the ninja world; the Binglong Sect had specifically publicized it everywhere, and many martial artists or martial arts sects would come to watch when the time came.

In the decisive battle between the Shiranui School and the Binglong Sect, only one school would remain alive in the end.

Just how terrifying would the Binglong Sect's desperate counterattack be?

Shiranui Mai could not imagine it for the moment, but she would fight with all her might.

Aside from Shiranui Mai, Andy was having a harder time.

Because among the three people fighting the Binglong Sect, there was actually no spot for him, Andy!

"Master, why won't you let me fight?"

Andy could not understand it at all; Bu Zhi Bu Jue was the strongest, so it was only natural for him to fight.

Shiranui Mai was the next head of the school and was extremely strong, so it was reasonable for her to take one spot.

The problem was, shouldn't the remaining spot go to him, Andy?

In the entire Shiranui School, apart from Bu Zhi Bu Jue and Shiranui Mai, Andy considered himself stronger than everyone else.

Shiranui Hanzo knew Andy was very dissatisfied, so he gave a reason that could not be refuted.

"The Binglong Sect has come prepared this time, and Binglong Qingzhi will predict the personnel we send out."

"Bu Zhi Bu Jue, Mai, and you, Andy—these three must be exactly what Binglong Qingzhi has predicted, and our Shiranui School can only make this choice."

"But this is truly too passive; we must use strategy and technique."

"Therefore, I do not intend to send you, Andy, to fight, but rather the girl who is a friend of Mai's named King to compete."

King?

Andy had an impression of her; she was a girl with short blonde hair who excelled in Muay Thai and similar fighting techniques.

As for how strong she was...

Andy had never seen this girl in action, but since Shiranui Hanzo had arranged it this way, he assumed her strength would not be poor.

It was just that Andy was ultimately a bit unwilling.

Sigh, I am so tired; I wonder what Terry is doing.

When will the two brothers finally be able to kill Geese and avenge their foster father!
