Chapter 252: Activities of various parties at 0250

Fujikawa Ueno dejectedly returned to his island nation, having failed to capture the assassin. The martial artists, grinding their teeth in frustration from the inability to vent their rage, directed all their anger towards Cui Zisong.

When Cui Zisong awoke, he found himself imprisoned, subjected daily to interrogations concerning Fujikawa Ueno and the secrets of mutants. Not being particularly tough, Cui Zisong confessed everything without undergoing severe torture, yet people still came every few days to beat him up, causing his spirit to wither day by day.

To live was unbearable, and death unattainable, an utterly miserable existence.

It so happened that the Martial Arts Tournament was approaching. The matter concerning Fujikawa Ueno was temporarily put to rest, and the incident of Ye Qiu being taken away by a mysterious person was discussed only for a few days before being overshadowed by the news of the Martial Arts Tournament.

Currently, martial artists from all sides were preparing for the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament, particularly the younger generation, who were eager to showcase their skills and confront the skills of the Ten Owls.

The rivalry of the Ten Owls was about to unfold once more.

"Kunqing, how are your preparations?"

Gathered together were three members of the Ten Owls—Lei Ting, Li Futu, and Ma Kunqing.

Lei Ting spoke first, and Ma Kunqing, without elaborating much, simply said, "After days of training, I might be able to keep my tenth position."

"And you, Futu?" Lei Ting then turned to Li Futu.

Li Futu slowly said, "This year, although many new young talents have emerged, I fear none but one. If he shows up, my position might be at risk."

Lei Ting responded with surprise, "The one you mean is..."

"Ye Qiu."

At the mention of this name, Ma Kunqing’s eyelids twitched. If Ye Qiu were to participate in this Martial Arts Tournament, his title among the Ten Owls could easily change hands. Having previously sparred with Ye Qiu, he keenly understood that this younger man possessed exceptional talent and that he might very well lose to him again.

Though he thought this way, it did not mean that Ma Kunqing was lacking in fighting spirit; even if he had to lose to Ye Qiu, he would give his all.

Observing the expressions of Li Futu and Ma Kunqing, Lei Ting laughed heartily, "It seems you both hold Ye Qiu in high regard. This makes me think I should also consider whether my position might be taken by this guy."

Li Futu and Ma Kunqing both gave Lei Ting a sidelong glance. While it was plausible that Ye Qiu could defeat them, defeating Lei Ting, even for the older generation of True Qi martial artists, seemed like an insurmountable task when faced with such a freak of nature.

The terror of Lei Ting was something only those among the Ten Owls could truly comprehend.

"By the way, Futu, you’ve fought with that assassin. How skilled is the assassin?" Lei Ting asked.

"He’s a master of the Sword Dao and palm techniques. Had he not run out of True Qi, he might not have fled in such a sorry state," Li Futu replied.

"So, it seems it was all Ye Qiu’s doing. He drained the assassin of a significant amount of True Qi, which forced him to jump into the sea," Lei Ting said.

Li Futu nodded without denying it, and Lei Ting continued, "I really do wish to meet this Ye Qiu, but unfortunately..."

The fact that Ye Qiu had been taken away by a mysterious person was by now known to everyone.

Li Futu and Ma Kunqing were silent. If Ye Qiu were to join this martial arts contest, it would undoubtedly lead to an extremely exciting competition, but at the same time, it also meant that both of them would face a formidable opponent.

"Do you think it’s possible that Ye Qiu could suddenly appear on the day of the martial arts contest?" Lei Ting looked back and asked, his gaze shifting from one face to the other.

Li Futu and Ma Kunqing remained silent, seeing this, Lei Ting laughed heartily and did not say more.

If Ye Qiu could appear, the martial arts contest would certainly be even more lively.

...

As the mastermind behind the mysterious forces, Baron Chai had already received news of Fujikawa Ueno being driven out of China by the martial artists and his embarrassing escape by jumping into the sea.

Sitting on the sofa, Chai sipped his red wine, his face slightly flushed from the alcohol.

"Eight mutants, all killed. Fujikawa Ueno has truly disappointed me greatly."

"I thought one Fujikawa Ueno could satisfy me. It seems I overestimated the capabilities of the island country’s martial artists," Chai remarked.

"Baron, Fujikawa Ueno is not the most capable expert from the island country. They dispatched eight mutants because their identities were exposed by accident; otherwise, they could have eliminated quite a few more of China’s martial artists," an elderly man standing by said.

"An accident, and once again it involves that Ye Qiu," Chai was very annoyed by this name.

"Yes, if it weren’t for Ye Qiu, they could have remained hidden longer. It’s just that Fujikawa Ueno was sloppy, leaving a trail for the martial artists to follow, and our information might be exposed because of that."

"No matter, they are just some original generation mutants from the mutant serum. The martial artists can’t make much of it, and even if they suspect us, we need not fear them," Chai said arrogantly, not putting the Chinese martial artists in high regard.

"How is the latest experiment coming along?"

"Everything is intact, now only the final stage remains. Once it is completely finished, we will no longer need to worry about any retaliation from the Chinese martial artists," the elderly man said.

"China is a tough nut to crack. It’s a pity our mutant serum can only enhance to this extent. If we could capture a martial artist beyond the realm of True Qi, that would indeed be a treasure that could stun the world. Then the appearance of super S-class mutant beastmen would make any True Qi realm martial artist easy to defeat, even though we lack their innate advantage in training," Chai stated seriously.

"The Baron is right, but it’s a pity that True Qi realm experts are difficult to capture to use for our research. Catching even one has already taken a tremendous amount of effort, let alone those beyond the True Qi realm. I think, in China, such experts are few and far in between," the elderly man said.

"China is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, who can really say for sure?"

"Napoleon once said that China is a lion that sleeps. Once it awakes, the whole world will tremble. I certainly do not wish for this lion to awaken. We must accelerate our research."

"Even if we can’t produce experts beyond the realm of True Qi, I still want to be able to mass produce mutant beastmen with strength comparable to True Qi martial artists, and even stronger."

Chai’s ambition was vast, just like his family’s, not only plotting for a region but for the entire world.

He wanted to destroy the martial arts world of China entirely by his own hands, then he would be the legend of his family. Chai was such a madman, wanting to replicate a plethora of experts to achieve his ambitions.

Imagine one day, standing behind him countless counterparts to True Qi realm experts, Chai believed that by then, the whole world would be his.
