Chapter 144: 0142 Fujikawa Ueno

Ever since the club exchange meeting ended, Cui Zisong could never lift his head high on campus, solely because he had been defeated by Zhongshan University’s Ye Qiu.

Be it the debate club or the dance club president, every time they saw Cui Zisong, they had to mention the embarrassing defeat he suffered at the hands of Zhongshan University.

Cui Zisong had once been a prominent figure at Jingdu University; after all, he was the most capable person in the martial arts club. It was only his defeat to Zhongshan University that diminished his reputation.

If not everyone had known Cui Zisong at the beginning, then after the club exchange meeting, there wasn’t a soul at Jingdu University who didn’t recognize him.

A star who had won the taekwondo and karate newcomer titles for three consecutive years being defeated by a student from Zhongshan University was, without a doubt, a severe blow to the face.

Cui Zisong, who had grown up in Japan and had learned martial arts from many teachers, was proficient in both taekwondo and karate. Yet, after his match against Ye Qiu, he suffered a crushing Waterloo.

Cui Zisong couldn’t understand why he had been beaten by a single punch from that guy; were all those years of learning truly useless?

Cui Zisong started to drink excessively, even neglecting to attend some school meetings, becoming quite despondent.

"Why did I lose, is it because I’m truly too weak? Are the martial arts championships I’ve won for three consecutive years all fake? Everyone in the school is laughing at me," Cui Zisong aired his grievances.

The bar twinkled with multicolored lights, where Cui Zisong sat drinking alone, drowning his sorrows with no fewer than ten empty bottles surrounding him, completely intoxicated.

In a corner of the bar.

"Fujikawa-san, your arrival in China has pleased me for a long time," said a man speaking in Japanese, his tone exceedingly polite.

The man who spoke was the head of a major Japanese enterprise, tasked with breaking into the Chinese market. Named Sato Tsuru, he was well-known domestically as a karate expert. When such a distinguished guest from Japan came to China, naturally he had to be warmly received, as the two also had to maintain close links and cooperation.

The man addressed as Fujikawa-san was a renowned Japanese karate expert, full name Fujikawa Ueno. His trip to China was not only to experience the Chinese culture but also to seek martial arts literature that might help him break through his current limits. After all, both karate and judo had originated in China.

"Sato-san, I’ll leave the collection of books to you. Coming to China excites me deeply. I’m quite eager to see China’s real Martial Artists," said Fujikawa Ueno.

"Fujikawa-san, you can count on me. However, you should be cautious regarding the Martial Artists of this nation. Although its development is slow, there are some aspects that even I fail to comprehend," Sato Tsuru cautioned.

Fujikawa Ueno nodded. China, with its history of over five thousand years, far surpassed his own nation. Such a country must possess formidable characteristics to have developed to this point. It was a nation shrouded in mystery, and it was this allure that had drawn Fujikawa Ueno to uncover it.

"How is your company’s venture in China going?"

"As the vanguard dispatched by the head office to China, Zhongshan City, being our first battle, naturally has to be well-fought. However, the local enterprises there are somewhat resistant to Japanese companies."

"At present, the larger businesses in Zhongshan City, such as Longjia, Heng Ye, and Rong Da Group, are all experiencing some turbulence, presenting us with the best opportunity to grow."

"I believe that won’t trouble you, Sato-san. This nation has a strong inherent inferiority. If business doesn’t progress well, perhaps it’s worth using a little money. Some relationships are still quite easy to pave," Fujikawa Ueno’s words made Sato Tsuru clap in admiration, laughing, "It seems Fujikawa-san, you have a deep understanding of this nation."

"Since I intend to live in this country, naturally I need to know more about its culture and people. I am a Martial Artist; in this regard, I’m no match for you, Sato-san."

The two sat in a corner of the bar discussing the affairs of Huaxia, finding much in common. Before long, Fujikawa Ueno saw Cui Zisong sitting not far away.

"What’s he doing here?" Fujikawa Ueno suddenly spotted one of his disciples. He signaled Sato Tsuru, who was next to him, and walked over to the drunken Cui Zisong.

After taking a clear look at Cui Zisong’s face, Fujikawa Ueno wasn’t mistaken; this was indeed the disciple who had learned karate from him, Cui Zisong.

He glanced at the more than ten empty bottles set to one side and listened to Cui Zisong’s complaints, which seemed to be about losing to someone.

Fujikawa Ueno snatched the bottle from Cui Zisong’s hand and asked in broken Chinese, "What kind of opponent did you lose to?"

In his heart, Fujikawa Ueno thought that Cui Zisong was quite good at karate; ordinary folks would find it hard to defeat this disciple. But seeing Cui Zisong’s condition, he had clearly suffered a significant defeat.

He wanted to know what kind of opponent had beaten Cui Zisong.

"Who are you..." Cui Zisong shook off the hand on his shoulder and slurred while turning around.

But as soon as he clearly saw the face in front of him, he sobered up quite a bit and exclaimed, "Teacher."

"Am I drunk? My teacher is in the island nation; how could he suddenly appear in front of me?" Cui Zisong suddenly chuckled, scratching his head, taking the Fujikawa Ueno before him as a drunken illusion.

"What kind of opponent did you really lose to?" Fujikawa Ueno didn’t mind; he was simply curious about who had defeated his disciple.

Once the conversation turned to the person who defeated him, Cui Zisong perked up. His gaze seemed far away, and the image of Ye Qiu appeared before him. Seeing Cui Zisong clenched his fist and grinding his teeth, he suddenly punched forward fiercely, but alas, he was only hitting air; the shadow of Ye Qiu in front of him was still there.

"This guy defeated me with just one punch!"

"And I don’t even know why I lost so quickly, haha, pathetic..."

"The illusion of my teacher appears, I am truly sorry!"

Cui Zisong talked to himself, alternating between silly laughter and cursing, causing Fujikawa Ueno to frown.

"Mr. Fujikawa, who is this?" Seeing Fujikawa Ueno interested in a drunkard, Sato Tsuru couldn’t help but ask.

"He is one of my disciples. I didn’t expect to find him here. It seems he has lost to someone and can’t get over it, so he’s drowning his sorrows in alcohol," said Fujikawa Ueno.

"I didn’t expect that Mr. Fujikawa would have a Huaxia disciple, and you just happened to meet him here today. It seems you two are quite fated. With your Huaxia disciple here, I believe you’ll be able to get a glimpse of Huaxia’s face even sooner," Sato Tsuru said.

"This kid was diligent when he first learned karate; it’s embarrassing to see him end up like this after a little setback, making you laugh, Mr. Sato," Fujikawa Ueno replied.

"Ha, seeing him drink so much, what do you plan to do? How about I help you take him back to the hotel where you’re staying? It’s a good opportunity for you and your disciple to catch up," Sato Tsuru suggested.

"That would be good," Fujikawa Ueno didn’t refuse. It was better to wait until Cui Zisong sobered up and then ask him what exactly happened.
