"You are not Tora Oni; he is a thousand times more powerful than you. Tell me the truth: who are you, and why do you have those opposing eyes? You look a lot like Tora Oni. Are you his descendant sent to Korea to cause trouble? First, you come to me just to die."
Tom Li looked at me coldly.
However, after a long while, Tom Li noticed that the other party was still lying on the ground and hadn't responded. He thought that the opponent had lost consciousness from his one blow. Gradually, Tom Li began to move forward, but at that moment, his Animal Instinct suddenly sent him a warning, prompting him to quickly turn his head to the side.
I saw something fly by me at great speed, causing some of my hair and a part of my cheek to get cut. Blood started to flow from there, and suddenly, the atmosphere around us began to change.
Out of nowhere, someone came up to Tom Li, firmly grabbing his collarbone and speaking in an angry voice. "Hey, old man! Do you treat children of your son's age like this? Do you know that if I didn't have black bones right now, I would be dead?"
It was a young man whose face looked somewhat insane, probably because of his disheveled hair. He spoke these words in front of me.
I couldn't even see his movements clearly. Tom Li was astonished as he thought about this.
"Why aren't you speaking? Well, you don't have to talk. I'll say it: I want you to acknowledge me as your student. In return, I'll give you whatever you want, but I won't give up my body."
Degun said these words like a madman.
[Host, you are now in Crazy Mode. Your Animal Instinct Ability and Fighting Genius card have activated on their own, creating a new martial art called 'Beast Combat.' This is a "super emperor-level card."]
"Oh, so you want to be my disciple. But first, I want to see your skills. If you can survive, then we can consider it." Tom Li charged at me with a crazy smile.
"Then I'll show you today that not everyone can mess with me." Saying this, I rushed towards him at high speed.
As Tom Li approached me, I used the Systemeya martial art on him. I had learned this technique from those two weak system users.
As I felt proud of copying the Systemeya martial art, suddenly, I felt five burning pains in my chest. This pain left me somewhat stunned.
I looked down and was even more astonished. There were five scratch marks from my chest to my abdomen, resembling the claw marks of a wild beast.
Tom Li stood with his hands on his hips, smiling broadly as he spoke. "Boy, you're nothing more than this. Don't think just because I'm a bit older, you can push me around."
"It looks like your skin is quite thick. So I'll start by cutting through your skin." With that, I picked up a broken piece of a chair nearby. It seemed that this old man's Systemeya attack hadn't done much damage to him, I thought to myself.
"Oh, you're going to fight me with just a broken chair leg? Then come on and let me see your skills." Tom Li excitedly waved his hand to signal me to come closer.
"Then get ready." Saying this, I dashed towards him and used the Kalaripayattu martial art's weapon technique, Kurunthadi. This technique typically involves a short stick about 3 to 4 feet long. The Kalaripayattu technique specifically targets sensitive parts of the body, such as the shoulders, joint areas of the arms, or the legs, allowing for precise strikes that can temporarily incapacitate or inflict pain on the opponent, potentially causing significant damage.
In front of Manager Kim, Tom and Degun were advancing towards each other to deliver lethal attacks. Therefore, Manager Kim could no longer stand by and rushed to intervene. But it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, they passed each other, leaving behind some unexpected changes. For instance, the small stick in Degun's hand, which was about 4 feet long, was now only 1 foot, the rest having penetrated Tom Li's neck and spine, causing heavy bleeding. Tom Li's face no longer bore a smile; instead, it showed an unexpected expression as if to say, "I didn't see this coming."
On the other hand, Degun was not in a good position either, sporting a massive five-finger mark on his lower abdomen. There was a deep wound about 2.5 feet deep, and blood was pouring from both his mouth and lower abdomen.
"Hey, old man, it seems this Crazy Mode isn't enough for you." I complained as I collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, Tom Li stood there in shock. Manager Kim ran over to me, lifted me, and quickly laid me down on the sofa, examining my waist for injuries.
"Boss, you almost killed him!" Manager Kim shouted angrily.
"Don't worry; he possesses strength beyond your imagination. He won't die from these trivial wounds." Tom said with a smile as he sat down on the sofa.
Manager Kim brought a medical box and began to treat Degun.
"What do you mean? If he dies now, what will happen to my daughter?" Manager Kim asked, showing a worried expression.
"Do you remember I told you the history of the Zero Generation? Among the most powerful individuals back then was the leader of the Yamazaki clan, who was known to be the strongest at that time. Even if you and I, along with the entire White Tiger Job Centre, attacked him, we wouldn't be able to defeat him."
"Yes, you mentioned that. Even this kid talked to me about Yamazaki this morning, but I didn't find his words very reliable, so I didn't pay much attention to him." Manager Kim replied, somewhat surprised.
"Hahaha. Manager Kim, how foolish you are. You have a tiger cub, a tiger cub! And a tiger cub will become a tiger. Yet, even with that tiger by your side, you don't nurture it. Hahaha!" Tom burst into laughter.
"But that is the eldest son of the legend. When he was born, I went to find him because his parents later separated. But I couldn't find him." Tom paused as he said this.
Hearing Tom Li's words, Manager Kim looked at Degun in surprise.
"It seems you are seeing this boy for the first time. How can you be so sure that this is the same boy?"
"There are two reasons. The first is his unique reverse eyes and black bones. The second reason is that I see the Oni within him, the one that wants to emerge but cannot. The day he breaks free, he will destroy everything. And that time is not far off." Tom said, sipping wine from a bottle and pouring it into a glass.
"Manager Kim, you need to keep a close watch on him for at least five days. Because he's losing control; he has already lost control many times. You must be cautious, or it could lead to massive trouble. And don't worry, I will soon take him as my disciple and train him separately."
Manager Kim sat on the sofa, bowing his head, listening intently to everything Tom Li said.
"So, you are saying that something bad is about to happen to this boy?" I asked.
"Yes. Remember to keep him away from any excitement, such as things he likes, or anything that might provoke his temper," Tom replied without a second thought.
"Okay, I will keep that in mind," Manager Kim nodded in agreement.
