Chapter 944: 484 It doesn’t matter, Casio will take action! (4200)_2 Chapter 944: 484 It doesn’t matter, Casio will take action! (4200)_2 However, this person’s will seemed to still be somewhat lacking in firmness.

Clearly influenced deeply by the path of Tyrant Fist, he completely abandoned self-restraint, acting solely according to his personality. This aspect was somewhat reminiscent of what Casio had once discussed with his subordinates about the characteristics of self-destruction.

If a person were compared to a pile of coal, when the coal is ignited, it bursts forth with fierce light and heat—this is your power. This power needs to be controlled; at the very least, you must learn how to ignite and extinguish it. Otherwise, if it’s always burning, your entire being is in flames, indeed shining brightly and wildly in a short time. But soon, you will burn out, and everything is gradually destroyed in the process of burning.

In the end, you either get defeated by others, collapsing completely,

or due to internal reasons, you utterly fall apart.

Whale King Arlington, the boxing master from the Yana United States, the foremost individual in the Secret Martial Arts World, an ultimate fighter. He already showed signs of self-destruction.

Of course, such signs are invisible to ordinary people, only a sharp-eyed master of the same realm can detect the hidden dangers in this person.

So, facing Arlington’s somewhat arrogant attitude, and even belittling the Secret Martial Arts World of the Hong Li Empire, the welcoming team of the Eastern Martial World wanted to retort but lacked the confidence, after all, the opponent was a boxing master. That the Secret Martial Arts World of the Hong Li Empire only had this level of competence according to the opponent was not exactly a problem. After all, how many ultimate fight masters are there in the same era across the entire planet? Only a handful?

As an ultimate fighter, looking down on most other martial arts practitioners wasn’t really a problem. In the welcoming team of the Eastern Martial World, there truly was no one the opponent considered worthy. Thus, the group could only swallow their resentment. From the docks of East Sea City to the International Exchange Meeting venue, the atmosphere was quite tense. It wasn’t until the representative team from the Yana United States was escorted to a dedicated residential area that the atmosphere somewhat eased.

July 26, afternoon, East Sea City.

Canidun District, Phoenix Tree Street, inside a large guild hall.

One by one, fight masters who are rarely seen gathered within the hall, some sitting on the sofa, others standing by the window, and many more on both sides of a rectangular conference table in the middle of the hall. They were all elders or gate masters of various schools in the Secret Martial Arts World of the Hong Li Empire.

Mainly from the Eastern Martial World, as it was the host venue.

Soul-Losing Swordmanship, Star Ring Fist, Yunquan Fist, and other familiar schools to Casio were gathered here to hold a meeting. They were constantly chattering, endlessly discussing. The content was continuously repeated as representing the unified front of the Hong Li Empire’s Secret Martial Arts World, advocating against internal strife.

Whale King Arlington clearly came with ill intentions, targeting the entire Secret Martial Arts World of the Hong Li Empire. If all major schools within the martial arts world were to be overwhelmed by the opponent, they would essentially become stepping stones, allowing Whale King Arlington to hog the limelight. However, as easy as it is to say, in practice, it was incredibly difficult. After all, the opponent was an ultimate fighter.

Such high-caliber masters were few and far between across the world. At this International Exchange Meeting, how could the attendees withstand Whale King Arlington’s moves? Of course, it’s certain that Whale King Arlington would be held back as a trump card, only making an appearance in the final moments of the International Exchange Meeting. Prior to that, it was mostly sparring between the elders and gate masters of the great martial arts schools of both nations.

But, Arlington would eventually make his move. Once he did, without a comparable level of combat strength appearing on behalf of the Secret Martial Arts World of the Hong Li Empire, this side would inevitably get crushed, losing face comprehensively.

What should be done?

In fact, this issue had been discussed the moment they learned that Whale King Arlington was crossing the seas to come here. But at that time, thoughts were chaotic, and they felt Arlington would surely give the International Exchange Meeting some face, not making it too ugly, hence the discussion stalled.

Now, it was being brought up again in the meeting.

“We must have someone who can block Whale King Arlington, someone who can repeatedly engage without falling at a disadvantage. We do not seek to defeat Arlington, but at least we should last over a dozen exchanges, and then admit to being slightly inferior, falling in defeat. In this way, we would save some face…”

On the right side of the red conference table, an elder of the Soul-Losing Swordmanship quietly said.

“But such powerful individuals are indeed very rare. They must at least be Ultimate Fighters who have one foot in the realm and are top-level Combat experts on the verge of breaking through after decades of accumulating strength. In my memory, in the Eastern Martial World, there was only Victor, the elder of the Star Ring Fist from the previous generation…”

An elder representing Yunquan Fist said after a moment of thought.

“Scorching Fist Victor?” The crowd slowly shifted their gaze, looking toward the head of the rectangular conference table on the left where the elder of Star Ring Fist was seated.

There seemed to be a hopeful emotion in their eyes.

However, this white-haired elder slowly shook his head, “Elder Victor is already eighty-five years old, especially in the last five years, his vitality has declined tremendously. His condition isn’t nearly what it used to be. If it were the Victor from before he turned eighty, perhaps he could try to withstand Arlington…”

“Alas…” A burly middle-aged man, as sturdy as a bear, sighed deeply, “Regrettably, the last Boxing Master of the Hong Li Empire Martial World passed away twenty years ago. The Seven-star Life Secret Technique he left behind was so powerful that it could allow someone to continuously regenerate strength seven times, just like having seven lives added to one. If that Boxing Master were still alive, Arlington wouldn’t be a concern at all…”

“Wait a moment, you are right. I remember there’s still a Boxing expert in the Southern Jungle, the very disciple of that Boxing Master from twenty years ago. He definitely has the strength of a top-tier Fighter, and coupled with the Seven-star Life Secret Technique, perhaps he could indeed exchange a few moves with Arlington?”

An elder from the Southern Martial World said as if he had a revelation.

“That makes sense…” “Good idea…” “Maybe we could try…”

Suddenly, the conference hall was abuzz with discussion.

“In any case, this International Exchange Meeting is related to the face of our entire Hong Li Empire Martial World; we cannot afford to lose too disgracefully. Otherwise, when we face foreign Martial Schools in the future, we might have trouble holding our heads high!” The Yunquan Fist elder stood up and reiterated his statement.

At the corner of the hall near the window, three silhouettes silently watched the meeting. Among them, the one on the left had dazzling blond hair, was strikingly handsome, and possessed a cold aura. It was Casio.

He looked distantly at the conference table, where discussions were as lively as a marketplace, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Honestly, Casio attended this International Exchange Meeting just to witness the methods of other Ultimate Fighters and, incidentally, to test the efficacy of the Southern Dipper Boxing Method. However, unexpectedly, some unforeseen situations seemed to be usable to his advantage.

Whale King Arlington was audaciously arrogant, and no one in the Hong Li Empire Martial World could stand against him, threatening to massively embarrass them. In the martial arts world, pride is sometimes as important as strength. If they were openly humiliated this time, it could be a disgrace for an entire generation in the Empire Martial World.

In such a crisis, if a fighter from his own camp could stand up and completely defeat Whale King Arlington, he would gain unimaginable prestige and influence, and all the Martial Schools present would have to give respect to this individual, just like the position of a martial alliance leader.

Casio had not forgotten that in two to three years, a very terrifying event would occur that would obliterate the powerful Dark Hunt Organization and lead to the collapse of the entire Hong Li Empire, a time of darkness. The opponent might be the Door Organization, it might be all the dark creatures rioting on the earth, or perhaps it could be forces from the World of Calamities invading? In any case, Casio alone was too weak to cover all bases.

At times like these, he needed a strong external force to support him, even to some extent follow Casio’s commands. And what was the strongest force in the entire Hong Li Empire? Not the Dark Hunt Organization, but the presence of the four Martial Worlds—north, south, east, and west! A place full of experts!

How to make the entire Hong Li Empire Martial World owe him a huge favor? Without a doubt, during this exchange meeting, Casio would make a move.

Fiercely fight, harshly humiliate.

He would need to crush the opponent in an even more domineering and arrogant manner than Whale King Arlington. Only then could the Hong Li Empire Martial World release a sigh of relief.

Whale King Arlington’s aggressively unstoppable momentum, seemingly unmatched?

No worries, Casio will make his move!
