- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 241
With the host’s enthusiastic commentary, the King of Fighters 2000 tournament officially kicked off.
At the VIP section, Clone Zero hid behind a glass mirror, smiling as he observed the intense scene below.
Next to him was a huge device clearly displaying the energy field being absorbed from the arena.
“Fight to your heart’s content. Release everything you’ve got.”
Under countless watchful eyes, the defending champion from the last tournament, K’, was the first to step onto the stage.
His cool sunglasses immediately sent the women in the audience into a frenzy of screams.
“Ah, his chest muscles are so strong.”
“Oh my god, should I choose him or Andy? This is so hard!”
“What should I do, he’s looking at me…”
“K’, I’d marry you!”
A small group of women dressed in white wedding dresses could even be seen, their eyes filled with fanatical admiration as they stared at K’.
Of course, none of this mattered to K’. He only wanted to finish the fight quickly and hunt down the Nests officials hiding behind the scenes.
[K’ (The Strongest Modified Warrior)]
Attack Focus: Low
Attribute Focus: Agility, Strength, Spirit
Traits: Violent Instinct, Unstable Red Flames
Threat Assessment: Extremely Dangerous
Violent Instinct: Greatly increases battle intuition, enhancing the impact of emotional fluctuations on strength.
Unstable Red Flames: Can control unstable red flames, with power fluctuating depending on emotional changes.
His strength was already formidable; even if the three members of the Korean Team ganged up on him, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
However, K’ still had a way to go before reaching the level of top-tier fighters. He wasn’t yet a match for the true elite.
As for how much strength the “Violent Instinct” could provide, to be honest, Fang Bo wasn’t entirely sure.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Soon, K’‘s first opponent entered the ring: Cai Baoqi, the shortest fighter in the tournament.
Cai was fast and nimble, traits that had earned him many victories, especially with his sharp claws.
But today, he was facing someone even faster than himself: K’.
When he saw the man easily keeping up with his movements, Cai Baoqi broke into a cold sweat, feeling like K’‘s power was even more terrifying than last year.
“Hey, long time no see,” he tried to distract his opponent with words.
“…” K’ remained silent, continuing to advance with a slightly hunched posture that put immense psychological pressure on Cai Baoqi.
Before he knew it, Cai Baoqi found himself at a disadvantage.
Seizing the rare opportunity, K’ surged forward at full speed, his palm gathering flames that quickly engulfed his opponent.
Ultimate Move: Raven’s Bite!
With a precise strike aimed at the airborne, wounded enemy, K’ soared into the air and kicked Cai Baoqi out of the ring like a ragdoll.
KO! Perfect!
With absolute dominance, K’ proved his superiority.
Shaking off the flames on his hand, he casually slipped one hand into his pocket and coolly addressed the host, “Next.”
On the sidelines, Chen Guohan clutched a large iron ball, his face full of fury, ready to avenge his teammate.
Meanwhile, Fang Bo, in disguise, was secretly at work.
Inside the medical room, he approached several doctors and slowly began waving a circular object in his hand.
“While I’m here, leave all the treatment to me.”
Under the influence of hypnosis, the medical staff could no longer distinguish his true identity.
They exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, allowing him to proceed with the treatment.
Once the unqualified doctors left, Fang Bo moved to Cai Baoqi’s bedside.
Placing his hand on the “little skinny monkey,” the healing technique immediately restored his injuries and, along the way, absorbed some experience from a basic skill.
[Basic Melee Experience +322]
Your Basic Melee skill has reached LV10!
Cai Baoqi had been a bit unlucky. With just that small amount of health, he would have only lasted half of that.
While silently cursing K’ for his cheap tricks, Fang Bo waved his hand, signaling that Cai Baoqi could leave now.
“Thanks.”
After watching him leave, Fang Bo thought for a moment and then headed into the office.
Using Giant Summoning spell, he quickly summoned three mobile health packs.
“Looks like it’s up to you guys today,” he said, absorbing the small amount of health he had lost earlier.
In less than two minutes, a team of staff members laboriously carried Chen Guohan into the room.
“Doctor, please save him, he’s in serious condition!”
Compared to Cai Baoqi, who was kicked out of the ring, Chen Guohan had already fallen unconscious by the time he was carried in.
Suppressing his inner joy, Fang Bo exaggerated his acting: “Oh my god, look at this poor kid! Quickly, get him onto the bed!”
Gently caressing the deep scar on the patient’s chest, his gaze was as indulgent as if he were admiring a Michelin five-star dessert.
“K’, this foolish mad dog… it’s unbelievable. How could he do something like this in the ring?”
The exhausted workers exchanged strange glances at Fang Bo.
The doctors spoke correctly, but their smiles seemed oddly out of place.
“Something feels… off.”
Once everyone left, Fang Bo immediately extended his sinful hands: “May God bless you, my child.”
[Basic Melee Experience +616]
If not for the outstanding effect of his healing technique, Chen Guohan would have woken up instantly. Fang Bo was tempted to take out his Butcher’s Knife and give him a few more hard hits.
This guy truly lived up to his size. His health was certainly one of the highest among the fighters.
If he could win a few more matches, Fang Bo’s basic melee skill would definitely reach max level.
“Get out of here.”
After sending Chen Guohan off, he waited for the next guest to arrive.
By the time the three giants had turned to dust, Kim Kaphwan, the leader of the Korean Team, made his appearance.
Naturally, this guy was also carried in.
“Oh, my God, please punish that executioner severely,” Fang Bo muttered dramatically.
[Basic Melee Experience +523]
Your Basic Melee skill has reached LV11!
“Alright, you can leave now.”
In the first match, K’ completed an impressive triple KO, decisively defeating the Korean Team, who had little to no hope from the start.
After a ten-minute break, the second match was about to begin.
This time, the battle would be far more challenging to decide.
With no intention of leaving the medical room, Fang Bo walked into his office, raising his hand to draw a beautifully intricate hexagram.
Shikigami Summon: Rokushinfu!
To farm experience for free, Fang Bo even summoned his Shikigami.
Without doing so, how could he keep healing and casting his recovery techniques?
“Help me out, will you?”
“Okay.”
Summoning a Second-tier Ghost Spider, he began absorbing its life force.
After about seven minutes, the first defeated contestant was brought into the medical room.
It was Sakazaki Yui, the weakest female fighter in the King of Fighters tournament, and the younger sister of Sakazaki Ryo.
“Poor girl, lie down, uncle will check you over.”
[Basic Melee Experience +485]
“Yay, all my injuries are healed!” Sakazaki Yui jumped up, hugging Fang Bo in joy.
Reluctantly, Fang Bo had no choice but to pull her close, allowing the young girl to rub herself against him, up and down.
Before he could fully enjoy it, the second defeated fighter was soon brought in.
Yashiki Shingo, a strong contender for the title of the weakest male fighter.
Regretfully letting go of the girl, Fang Bo watched as Sakazaki Yui left with a flushed face. He then placed his hand on Yashiki Shingo’s shoulder.
Recovery!
[Basic Melee Experience +525]
“Look at your body; it’s an absolute mess. It’s worse than Grandpa Benjamin’s old tires next door.”
The third person to enter was Seth, a lesser-known weak fighter. At least, Fang Bo only knew him as a black man.
“Seems like this says it all.”
[Basic Melee Experience +497]
[Your Basic Melee skill has reached MAX level!]
After what wasn’t a particularly difficult process, Fang Bo finally maxed out his Basic Melee skill.
This is a very general skill, broadly applicable to all forms of close-range combat with blades, guns, clubs, axes, and hooks. As long as it’s related to “melee” experience, it all counts.
Now that he had reached the Basic Mastery level, the next phase of upgrades would be much more targeted.
Taking out his treasured skill book “Unarmed Combat Mastery”, Fang Bo immediately chose to learn it.
[Consumed 200 Story Points, you have successfully mastered Unarmed Combat Mastery LV1.]
The cost in story points was doubled, so the experience gain also increased accordingly.
But that was fine. The King of Fighters arena had no shortage of people to heal.
While studying his new skill, the fourth unlucky contestant was carried into the room.
Lin, a member of the Flying Thieves clan, was no slouch; his strength wasn’t far behind top-tier fighters like Kyo Kusanagi.
The reason he lost so quickly was simple: Kagura Chizuru was on the stage, dominating the situation.
[Unarmed Combat Mastery Experience +607]
[Your Unarmed Combat Mastery has reached LV3.]
A single treatment boosted his unarmed combat skill to LV3. This massive amount of experience was too tempting for Fang Bo to resist.
“This time, I’ve saved a few thousand story points without even realizing it,” Fang Bo thought, nearly moved to tears.
He was now hoping that Kyo Kusanagi would put some effort into taking down Kagura Chizuru so he could squeeze in a quick training session for Spatial Awareness.
But this fight was dragging on longer than usual. It was clear that Kyo Kusanagi wasn’t going to lose easily with his strength.
Quietly checking the time, Fang Bo muttered in surprise, “Seventeen minutes… still not over?”
As if sensing his impatience, shortly after, two injured fighters arrived at the medical room almost simultaneously.
It seemed Kagura Chizuru was still the victor of the battle, but she, too, had reached her limit. Now both of them needed treatment at the same time.
“Poor Kyo Kusanagi, without the help of Benimaru he was eliminated in the first round.”
[Unarmed Combat Mastery Experience +645]
[Your Unarmed Combat Mastery has reached LV4.]
In the blink of an eye, his Unarmed Combat Mastery had leveled up to LV4.
Not counting any other skills, if Fang Bo were to simply fight with a blade now, he could defeat the previous three versions of himself.
“Now that’s progress.”
Once Kyo Kusanagi left, utterly defeated, Fang Bo turned his attention to the semi-conscious Kagura Chizuru.
He lifted the woman onto his shoulder and quickly exited the medical room, under the watchful eyes of the staff.
He didn’t want to waste any more experience and feared that Kagura Chizuru would turn hostile once she woke up, so he decided to take her somewhere else for treatment.
If he couldn’t find anyone else, she probably wouldn’t make a fuss with him.
At any rate, he had helped her this time.
[Basic Spatial Awareness Experience +661]
“Done,” Fang Bo said, immediately turning to leave without a word.
By the time Kagura Chizuru opened her eyes, he was already long gone.
“…”
Sitting up, her gaze lingered on the distance, her thoughts a mix of confusion.
As the holder of the Yata Mirror, how could she not sense his presence?
To her surprise, Kagura Chizuru wasn’t angry as he expected. She simply didn’t understand why he had done so many things that defied common sense.
Over the past few days, as she trained with her teammates, she couldn’t help but confide her doubts.
In response, Sakazaki Yui had told her that Fang Bo probably had feelings for her and was trying to get her attention through such unconventional methods.
“Is that really it?” Kagura Chizuru felt lost.
With zero romantic experience, she couldn’t tell whether the words were true or not. All she could do was think it over as best she could.
In the end, she couldn’t come to any solid conclusions.
Meanwhile, the third match was about to begin.
Dragon Fist Team VS Jason Team — the battle was about to start!
