Chapter 147: 0145 Unstoppable Fujikawa

Fujikawa Ueno had visited several famous mountains and paid respects at over twenty temples and Taoist temples. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find a single person who could withstand more than ten moves against him.

This was a completely overwhelming victory by Fujikawa Ueno alone.

Fujikawa Ueno was deeply disappointed. How could such a great nation like China not have anyone worthy of his full effort?

The martial artists he had encountered so far fell far short of his expectations. Those who practiced martial arts seemed too naive in his eyes, sometimes he didn’t even feel the urge to strike.

The official accompanying Fujikawa Ueno, a head of the local cultural department, was quite displeased with Fujikawa Ueno’s visit to Zhongshan City. However, given the visitor’s status, he had to bite his nose and display an extremely enthusiastic demeanor.

"Mr. Fujikawa, I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Fujikawa Ueno slowly said, "I have always revered your country’s martial arts. I thought this place was a martial arts paradise, a place that could greatly enlighten me. Unfortunately, since arriving here, I have discovered that is not the case."

The face of the cultural department official accompanying Fujikawa Ueno turned awkward. Although Fujikawa Ueno’s words did not overtly belittle China, the tone of disappointment was tantamount to indirectly demeaning the nation.

Especially after every opponent Fujikawa Ueno defeated, the official felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

Seeing Fujikawa Ueno defeating his opponents quickly and decisively, standing invincibly before him, ignited a fire of anger inside him. He desperately wanted to find a strong individual to suppress Fujikawa Ueno’s arrogant flames.

Unfortunately, he was not a martial artist himself, and those martial artists who gave him face did not seem to match Fujikawa Ueno’s skills.

As the cultural department official felt suffocated, one of his subordinates suggested, "Why don’t we take this foreigner to a martial arts school? I refuse to believe that our vast China lacks someone who can handle him."

Upon hearing this suggestion, the official thought it was a good idea and suggested visiting the martial arts school to see if there were any experts who could catch Fujikawa Ueno’s eye.

Zhongshan City was neither too big nor too small, and there were seven or eight martial arts schools. They didn’t waste any time. After coming down from the mountain, they headed to the closest one.

"Mr. Fujikawa, the martial arts school we are going to visit next has a significant reputation. Its founder was a member of the royal guards, and his martial arts skills are extraordinary. It will not disappoint you."

"Oh? That sounds like a martial arts school with a deep heritage. I am very keen to visit," Fujikawa Ueno said with increased interest.

A few days later, a mournful atmosphere hung over all the major and minor martial arts schools in Zhongshan City. The reason was one person, a delegate from the island nation who had swept through various martial arts schools.

This news spread like wildfire, reaching martial arts schools in other provinces and regions.

Some older martial arts masters couldn’t help but sigh, "The great China, the king of the martial arts world, has been swept away by someone from a tiny land. It’s a disgrace to our ancestors."

There were also some dissenting voices, "Old Master, you know, when the Eight-Nation Alliance oppressed China, they stole countless treasures and even swept away our martial arts secrets. Such precious treasures were taken by the foreigners, breaking the lineage. Meanwhile, the island nation has grown and now parades its achievements in China. It’s clear that their ambition towards our nation has never ceased, continuing to covet China in the shadows."

When he spoke these words, many deeply agreed. For years, whether in technology or economy, the island nation had dominated Huaxia. Had Huaxia not been closely trailing them, it might have been far surpassed by this cobra-like adversary.

In this era, major national confrontations are rare, but undercurrents are active, especially the power behind some countries making moves in the shadows, constantly clashing.

"You see, the arrogance of this islander won’t last long, someone will stand up against him eventually," the owner of a martial arts school spoke up.

The others took his words as undeniable truth. In Huaxia, where dragons hide and tigers crouch, a few martial arts academies couldn’t represent the entirety. The real masters wouldn’t stick around in martial arts schools all day.

Indeed, as some martial arts academies had speculated, with the guise of a cultural exchange ambassador, Fujikawa Ueno, using karate, swept through major martial arts schools., His conduct had already caught the attention of the martial arts community.

Some respected elders in the martial world were discussing who would be the right person to take action and cut Fujikawa Ueno down to size.

The ways of the martial world are long, with mountains high and rivers long...

As the cold wind of Huailing howled past, sweeping away a great many leaves, the figure of Ye Qiu appeared atop a mountain peak.

Ye Qiu had entered the deep mountains from the exact spot where the eccentric had vanished. Along the way, he was searching for clues, hoping to find the eccentric, and another goal was to find a rare herb.

Whether finding the eccentric or the herb, neither was certain for Ye Qiu. Coincidentally, these two uncertain tasks had come together, and Ye Qiu had to tackle them simultaneously.

The wind of Huailing carried a hint of winter’s biting cold; even in the dog days of summer, it felt like needles piercing the marrow, unavoidably causing one to shiver suddenly.

The herb Ye Qiu was searching for was called the earth dragon bone, a relatively common medicinal herb in the northeast, but finding one over three hundred years old was nearly impossible.

A hundred-year-old herb, a thousand-year-old nurtures a person. Acquiring a herb of specific age is not an easy task.

However, at that moment, Ye Qiu’s focus wasn’t on finding the earth dragon bone immediately but on finding the eccentric’s suspicious traces.

After all, to find old herbs, one would need to venture deeper into the vast forests, the more remote the better. Yet, the mountains he was currently traversing were not devoid of human presence, as herb collectors occasionally entered them, so Ye Qiu was not in a hurry.

The eccentric, accompanied by Ye Zi, moved through the mountain forest at a slow pace, which was Ye Qiu’s estimation. Estimating the time the pair had entered the forest, which was about three to five days, he figured he wasn’t too late in following them.

Ye Qiu had his own tricks for tracking; he had a special affinity for forests, having grown up in the mountains. Even during the years he was an assassin, he often traversed them, so each time he stepped into the wild, a sense of ease unconsciously washed over him, much like a fish finding water.

Ye Qiu’s gaze was sharp, often a single detail allowed him to determine the direction the eccentric had taken. Before long, he spotted a sign of a recently extinguished campfire, judged by the extent it had burned, it definitely wasn’t more than a week old. Ye Qiu was certain it was where the eccentric and Ye Zi had stayed.

Following the extent of damage to the young grass, Ye Qiu accurately traced the direction in which the eccentric and Ye Zi had left and caught up them.

"Wait for me..." Ye Qiu muttered to himself as he advanced, his words seemingly directed at Ye Zi far ahead.
