Charlie smiled before he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, you aren’t too bad yourself. It seems as though you are also full of energy and have a pretty good temperament yourself. However, you are just a little too short.”Jiro felt a little depressed for a short while.He was less than 1.7 meters tall. Although he had an ordinary height among other Asian men, he was still far behind compared to the standard of being tall, rich, and handsome.Jiro had always dreamt of being able to grow as tall as 1.8 meters tall. However, even after trying all sorts of methods, he could not do so at all.Therefore, his height problem had always been a cause of his heartache.At this time, Charlie who was 1.85 meters tall, was teasing him about his height in front of Nanako. This made him feel very uncomfortable and he could no longer control the expression on his face.Charlie spoke up again at this time. “Mr. Kobayashi, I really did not expect you to be able to speak the Oskian language so well! You’re so
Charlie looked at Yamamoto Kazuki with interest. Honestly, Charlie did not understand martial arts. If it wasn’t for Aurora wanting to participate in the tournament, he wouldn’t even have bothered with people of the martial arts circle.This was because in his eyes, even if one reaches the peak of martial arts cultivation, one is still considered an external expert in the realm of the martial arts.It is common knowledge that martial arts that focus on the basic training of muscle and bone density shouldn’t be considered a martial art skill. Experts in the inner circle must learn the necessity of using their Qi as well as their internal energy in the face of combat.Nevertheless, the sheer number of people who were learning martial arts was astounding. Even a three-year-old kid can be seen practicing kicks and punches. So, does this mean that the kid would be considered a martial artist too? Although the number of people learning this was high but the ones who were able to utilize Q
After speaking his mind, he turned to Ito Nanako who was wearing a shocked expression. Joyfully, he spoke, “Miss Ito, your bone structure and meridians are good. Judging from our Oskian martial arts point of view, your conception and governing vessels have been partially activated. If you’re able to activate it completely, then you are able to become a disciple of the inner circle.”“Your conception and governing vessels?!” Ms. Ito asked in astonishment. “Is that the ancient Oskian martial art lore’s meridian points? Plus, what’s a disciple of the inner circle?!”Charlie spoke with a more serious tone, “Martial art myths originated from the traditional martial arts. Just like the concept of meridians, those aren’t made up myths but are verified facts from the medical journals of Oskia which were found to be thousands of years old.”“As for disciples of the inner circle, how do I put it? Let me put it this way. With your current training, you won’t be able to achieve anything near th
“Trash?”After hearing those words, Charlie’s face lit up with a playful smile.It seems like this Mr. Yamamoto was too arrogant. He might have overestimated his own strength. A trashy external disciple like him, even with top-notch physical training, would not be able to defeat Charlie.It was alright to dislike Charlie due to difference in opinion but to expect that he didn’t even have any sportsmanship was actually quite bewildering.To rub salt into the wound, he had even brought up the fact that Oskian people were prone to weakness. That had really gotten Charlie’s blood boiling. Therefore, Charlie smiled and replied. “Since you’re willing to bet, Mr. Yamamoto, then why don’t we raise the stakes?”Mr. Yamamoto snorted, “Sure! No matter the bet, I’ll play along till the end.”To Mr. Yamamoto, no matter how strong Charlie may look, he had no chance of defeating him in combat with a single punch.Therefore, he was willing to place the bet, as no matter how severe, he was assur
But no one had expected Charlie to put so much inner energy and Reiki into his punch.Mr. Yamamoto looked at Charlie’s timid punch and almost laughed out loud.His face was filled with disdain as he voiced out, “A punch like that? Is as if a three-year-old child is throwing a punch at me. I can parry it with a single hand and I can even…”Mr. Yamamoto was trying to convey the message that he could single-handedly parry the attack but the words just wouldn’t come out of his mouth. Charlie’s fist had just touched his skin and his entire body felt as if it’s been hit by a train. The pain immediately coursed through his entire body.With a loud moan, Mr. Yamamoto’s body went flying across the room at high speed.His body was arced into a C shape as he flew about twenty meters across the room.His entire meridian was destroyed by Charlie’s Reiki.In a simpler term, during his time suspended in the air, he has turned from a well-known Japanese martial artist into a useless piece of tr
At this moment, Mr. Yamamoto's body shuddered in fear. Never in his lifetime has he ever been this frightened. He has never met someone this powerful, which had far surpassed his capabilities and knowledge.What kind of master could possibly have such destructive power, to completely destroy a martial arts master and turn him into trash with a gentle punch?The problem now was not only the fact that he had destroyed a man with a single punch. He was still dissatisfied and wanted to carve out the humiliating words onto the loser’s forehead.After thinking about what’s happening, Kazuki Yamamoto immediately begged, “Mister, my skills are not up to your standards. To be completely destroyed is my own doing. Please, I beg you, could you at least leave me with a little bit of dignity? Please don’t carve those humiliating words on my forehead. Please!”Nanako, who was by Mr. Yamamoto’s side, was also in tears as she bowed lowly and with a broken voice, began begging, “Mister, could you p
Charlie laughed. “No matter how much money you have, you can never be richer than I am.”Mr. Yamamoto quickly replied, “I have close to a hundred million dollars in my savings. If you let me go, I’ll give it all to you. If we were to convert it to Oskian dollars, then it should be at least five to six hundred million dollars!”Nanako, who was at his side, quickly responded, “Mister, if this isn’t enough, I’m willing to give you a fairly decent amount as well. Why don’t I give you one hundred million dollars as well? Can you please…”Charlie looked at Mr. Yamamoto and then turned to Nanako. He then pointed towards Jiro who was scared stiff. “Why don’t the two of you ask him shortly how much money I have?”Kobayashi Jiro’s legs trembled as he stuttered. “Mr. Wade, I don’t know…how much money you possess…”“You don’t know?” Charlie laughed. “Then why don’t you tell them how much money the Kobayashi family paid us?”Jiro quickly replied, “That…Yamamoto-san, Miss Ito, just from our Ko
Yamamoto’s heart was pounding in fear as he asked. “Don’t tell me…Don’t tell me you’re not the one who’s doing the carving?!”Charlie replied, “What? You want me to carve words onto you? Are you even qualified for that?”After finishing his sentence, Charlie laughed playfully before continuing. “I asked for a favor from a friend of mine. He has never attended any school. His level is only at elementary school level but I’m pretty sure he can still manage to spell the words ‘sick man of Asia.’ Till then, I’ll make sure that he carves the words as big as possible. It’s guaranteed to meet your expectation!”Yamamoto was worried and nervous. What else could he say? At this moment, the committee members came running towards them. They turned to Nanako and Aurora and said, “Participants, the tournament is about to begin. Could you two please make your way to the stage to prepare? Please make sure to be punctual. Participants who don’t show up on stage in another ten minutes will automatic
