lanterns illuminate rivers and mountains

Ye Zhen advanced to the semi-finals without any objection, did not cause any controversy, and did not cause any waves.

The prize money of the Asian No Rules Free Fighting Competition is twice as rich as that of ordinary fighting competitions, and the winners can also get a series of unexpected contract benefits; the champions of the past years have been signed by several martial arts families such as the Kurosawa family, or become political leaders. People's bodyguards are either built into top transnational mercenaries, and both of them are bright and bright.

Therefore, every competition can attract fighting masters from all over the world, and there are also long-established boxing champions and masters everywhere.Under the dazzling names, Ye Zhen is as inconspicuous as a little dust in the corner.

This piece of dust soon got the lottery results for the semi-finals. Unfortunately, it drew a very difficult opponent-the third runner-up of the last major, Japanese Kyokushin karate master Matsumoto Yu.

Ye Zhen picked his nose and asked, "Is Goku Karate a magic horse?"

All the players and coaches in the lottery room turned their heads at the same time, and countless eyes mixed with shock and contempt focused on Ye Zhen's face at the same time.

Xuanlin casually said: "During World War II, a Japanese air force created the concept of karate, advocating unshielded, unprotected, bare-knuckle karate fighting. The founder once accepted the '300-man team', that is, 300 people for four days without sleep. Karate used to be called "Tangshou", which means a martial art that was passed from China to Japan. Unfortunately, it has been passed down for thousands of years and has become a show. Only Goku Karate is still There are quite a few things to see.”

Ye Zhen nodded ignorantly, and asked, "Is it great?"

"Personally, I think it's average. The only merit is that they emphasize the spirit of never admitting defeat, unyielding will, and invincible courage—the spirit is commendable."

The father and son turned around and walked out together. Ye Zhen hooked his father's shoulders and jumped up and down dishonestly: "The invincible courage is a magic horse—? I only have invincible courage when I sneak to the kitchen to steal food." courage……"

"Son! Is there anything in our kitchen worth stealing? There are only takeaway boxes in our kitchen except for the takeout from the food stall downstairs!"

The pair of live treasures, father and son, were chirping and quacking. Just as they walked to the gate of the competition committee, they were suddenly blocked by a very tall and rather strong man.

The man glanced at Xuanlin, then turned his eyes to Ye Zhen, and said something in Japanese with a poor Chinese pronunciation in between: "...Ye Shisan?"

Xuanlin translated: "He asked if you were Ye Shisan."

Ye Zhen nodded curiously, the Japanese pointed at himself, and the pronunciation was awkward: "Matsumoto Yuu, oh! Just plain!"

Ye Zhen: "..."

Ye Zhen burst out laughing suddenly, Xuan Lin couldn't help laughing either, looking at the Japanese who spoke Chinese like a hiccup but still had a serious expression.

Yuu Matsumoto was angry, chirping and blaming again, Ye Zhen smiled and leaned against the wall while asking, "Uncle, what did he say?"

"Call Dad—!" Xuan Lin said lazily, "He said that you should not come to the competition with such a small carrot head. Ji Karate is the purest and most powerful fighting technique. You will regret it if you face an opponent like him. You also said that you don't respect your opponent's consciousness, nor his karate, and he will teach you a lesson... Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

The father and son laughed together, hooked their shoulders together, walked around Matsumoto Yuo, and went out happily.

Matsumoto's face turned from blue to red, and then from red to black. He roared for a long time, but he was quite angry. He turned around and rushed forward, slashing at the back of Ye Zhen's neck with a hand knife!

Ye Zhen turned his head in an instant—Matsumoto Yu didn't see how he turned his head clearly, as if time and space were frozen in an instant, and that second was dragged on infinitely, and Ye Zhen just turned his head slowly.

--Snapped!

The boy's long and slender index finger rested on Matsumoto's palm, motionless.

In an instant, Matsumoto Yuu didn't know what happened—his palm was completely numb, and he couldn't even feel Ye Zhen's fingers at all.

His arm trembled, only out of control for a few seconds, and soon softened silently.

All this looks like Yu Matsumoto waved his hand very lightly, but Ye Zhen lightly blocked it, and then he put down his hand kindly.It was supposed to be a critical moment, but like a child playing, it passed in a few seconds.

Xuan Lin didn't turn her head back, and asked, "What's the matter, son?"

Ye Zhen said: "It's nothing, we're just kidding around." He looked at Matsumoto Yuu with a half-smile, turned around and strode away.

"..." A few passers-by at the gate thought there was going to be a fight, but they passed by so easily, they all heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and scattered.Only Yu Matsumoto stood there, his pupils constricted slightly in shock.

He originally looked down on Ye Zhen, although this skinny boy from China defeated Piak neatly within 30 seconds?Let gram, but that game looked more like child's play.There was no continuous grappling, or even a real start, and Piack was knocked out as if he was sleepwalking around the stage.

Rather than saying that the boy's skill is too deep and unfathomable, it is better to say that the competition committee has tampered with it, maybe it has been with Piak beforehand?Let Ke collude to make some small money in the boxing market in the preliminaries.

With this kind of thinking in mind, Matsumoto Yuu never thought that the proud and conceited himself would sleepwalk in front of Ye Zhen—no, Bipiak?Rick is still sleepwalking!Piak at least made an effective attack, but he couldn't even raise his hand at all!

Is it weird, or did you really meet an expert?

Matsumoto's numb arm slowly regained a little feeling, and the numbness came out of the muscle like thousands of needles, with a bit of biting coldness.

At the same time, the Sino-Japanese High Seas.

When Long Jiwei regained consciousness, he smelled a slight salty smell in the air.

is on board!

His consciousness was awakened in an instant, and he opened his eyes suddenly, only to see the low ceiling of the cabin above his head, and the sea breeze blowing in from the open window.

He subconsciously wanted to sit up, but when he moved his hand, he found himself lying on a low bed with his hands stretched above his head and handcuffed behind his back to the bedside railing.

"Want to drink water?"

Long Jiwei's eyes widened slightly, then narrowed.

The voice was Shandi Ren's. Although the Chinese was fluent, but because it was too fluent and pure, it was a bit nondescript.

Without waiting for Long Jiwei's answer, Shan Diren poured half a glass of water with his own hands, and bent down to feed him.This move was not rejected by Long Jiwei. After all, he was too thirsty and quickly drank every drop of water.

"You collapsed. I'm sorry to put a high-risk first-level body on you, causing you to suffer irreparable serious injuries. But you can persist for so long and force the first-level body to self-destruct. I must express my gratitude to this tenacious spirit. respect."

When Shan Diren said this, he kept staring at Long Jiwei's face. Although that face looked very pale and haggard due to the buffer pollution of the first-level body, it still had deep eyebrows, was thin and handsome, and had a kind of lingering beauty beyond gender. natural beauty.

"Director Long Jiu..." Shan Diren smiled and said, "Welcome to the high seas, now you are in my hands."

Long Jiwei didn't say a word, and half-closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

Shan Diren looked at him for a long time, the sea breeze blew gently on his face, the sweat from the severe pain and struggle dried up, and his face was faintly pale.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Shandi Jin asked suddenly.

Long Jiwei didn't respond.

Shan Diren seemed to have seen through his thoughts, smiled and shook his head and said: "I'm not thinking about how to use you, what to do with your special identity as the master control source of the sample. I just remember the first time I saw you. At that time, if you knew that there would be today, would you still insist on going back to save me?"

"If you could have predicted at that time that one day you would fall into my hands, be taken to the country you hate the most, and be manipulated by the person you despise the most as a test subject...then you would still be here at that time. Under the extremely dangerous situation where the old dragon ran away, risking his life, going back to save me and those Japanese scientists?"

Long Jiwei didn't answer, but his expression moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

That was when the top management of the Japan Institute of Biological Radiation and the Shandi family who assisted in the development of the experiment came to China for "exchange and study" with the zero-level buffer formed by 20 years of hard work.At that time, the high-level executives of China and Japan had an exchange meeting. For some reason, there was a conflict. The old dragon who secretly escorted the dragon ran away and swallowed the priceless zero-level body in one gulp. Chew it, chew it, and swallow it!

At that time, the old dragon was out of control, and the high-level officials of both sides evacuated urgently, while Yamaji Ren and some Japanese scientists were trapped at the scene.After covering the evacuation of the country's leaders, Long Jiwei risked his life to go back to rescue Shan Diren and others, but he was attacked by the furious old dragon, and it was difficult to control the situation. In the end, he had to inject himself into a forced dormancy state. .

Later, there were many opinions about this incident. Some people said that the Japanese side first provoked and wanted to take the opportunity to test the top-secret data of the old dragon, but unfortunately angered the old dragon, causing it to rage and hurt people; They are too arrogant and bullying, so the Chinese side decided to teach them a lesson...

In any case, the direct consequence of that incident was that 20 years of Japanese research efforts were ruined, and Long Jiwei was forced to sleep for two full years. Later, Han Yue forced his way into nine bases to wake up Long Jiwei.

When the people from the Japan Institute of Biological Radiation went back and told the story, the high-level officials were furious and caused several assassinations against Long Jiwei.At that time, Laolong's first-year contract expired, and various complicated situations became entangled, and the turmoil became bigger and bigger. In the end, Long Jiwei had to leave Beijing to seek refuge in the Northeast in order to avoid the limelight.

Shan Diren saw Long Jiwei for the first time in that incident.

That was also the only time he actually saw Long Jiwei himself before the kidnapping operation started.

"Do you regret it?" Shan Diren asked with a smile, "Dear Director Long Jiu?"

"..."

Long Jiwei was silent for a long time, until Shandiren even thought he had fallen asleep, and saw him slowly open his eyes, and said lightly: "You are wrong about one thing."

"—Oh? What?"

"You shouldn't pay tribute to my tenacious spirit. It's useless to be tenacious alone. The reason why the Nine Branches are ahead of Japan in biological radiation research for so many years is because we are strong and you are weak. This is a pure strength gap."

Shan Diren's face changed slightly.

After Long Jiwei finished speaking, he quietly turned his eyes and stared at the slightly shaking ceiling.

"That's right, it's a pity that our research will soon go beyond Division Nine. Thank you for the precious master control source of the sample - all of this is brought to us by you, dear Division Chief Long Nine."

Shandi Ren turned his head fiercely, and shouted to his subordinates outside the door in Japanese: "Bring in all the instruments and unfinished products! First, start the experiment immediately!"

The subordinates bowed [-] degrees to promise, and ran out to carry the equipment.

"Although it will be a little painful, I think you can bear it. After all, you are Long Jiwei, right?" Shan Diren stood up, with a frightening tenderness in his condescending gaze.

"After all, you are... such a Long Jiwei, right?"

Long Jiwei didn't answer.He looked calm and closed his eyes in silence for a long while.
