"Well, Sykes is very stubborn, you don't need to worry, she won't just sit idly by."
Fubuki hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and in the end only managed to defend Sykes a few times.
Having known each other for quite some time, Bai Zhi was very clear about Chuixue and Sykes's character.
In a sense, both of them have arrogant personalities that prioritize superpowers. Perhaps by chance, Bai Zhi and Fubuki got together and Bai Zhi became a member of Fubuki's group.
The three of them would never sleep in the same room; maintaining a safe distance of half a meter is the norm.
The new era martial arts competition will begin soon.
There were over a thousand applicants, and the initial selection was a large-scale competition with groups of one hundred people each.
Based on the number of participants, there will be more than a dozen matches on the first day, making the schedule very tight.
Because they registered at the same time, Bai Zhi and the other two were on the same stage.
As Sykes had said upon entering, she immediately distanced herself from Bai Zhi, while Fubuki smiled apologetically and chose to take the initiative.
Unexpected yet reasonable, Bai Zhi's eyes could clearly see the light blue and dark green shimmering light emanating from her entire body.
Sykes, you're the toughest one in the Blizzard group.
With the help of outside help, Bai Zhi was just going through the motions and was prepared to get through the preliminary rounds.
As they swayed, Bai Zhi unconsciously used the cautious movements that Carbonis used in lawless zones.
Feeling the gazes from all around, searching for blind spots, and stepping with light and agile steps, he was on the arena yet detached from the battlefield.
An unknown ghost on the grand stage, but unfortunately, in the eyes of the audience, Bai Zhi is a lucky boy who has managed to evade the attacks of others.
After that, I didn't pay much attention. There might have been some people trying to mislead us on the first day, but from the second day onwards, it was a real one-on-one duel based on pure skill.
Only then will those lucky enough to pass the preliminary selection realize that what seemed like a fortunate coincidence was actually the beginning of misfortune.
"They're so weak, so incredibly weak. These guys have no idea whatsoever about cooperation and mutual benefit. They're all fighting their own battles. There are just too many blind spots, so many that it's practically lawless. Based on my experience, this kind of environment is like inviting people to steal, cheat, and ambush us."
Before the relaxed smirk on her face had faded, Bai Zhi's expression changed abruptly, and she suddenly shuddered, unconsciously releasing the ruthless aura that the "Gun God of the Outlaw Zone" had cultivated through long battles.
The contestants, who were arguing incessantly on the grand stage, suddenly shuddered.
The mind, which had been feverish from the battle, was quickly cooled down by the impact of the baleful aura.
The contestants were quick to prepare, maintaining distance from the others and getting into position, their eyes darting around, trying to confirm whether the deadly chill they had just felt was a warning from the powerful figure.
"Who is it? The murderous intent that seems to want to devour me alive, and the survival instinct surging from the bottom of my heart—have I offended anyone?"
Wait a minute, I settle scores on the spot, and I recently let the Vest Gang go. But those freaks, without Vest Venerable backing them up, they're not even worthy of my respect. Do they really have the courage to fight me and only choose to run away?
Bai Zhi ignored the competition on the main stage and instead looked around the audience.
They tried to find the 'enemy' by looking at the details.
"Huh?! Sister... Sister..." The startled cry from Fubuki not far away made Bai Zhi subconsciously follow her gaze.
Hmm, a 1.4-meter-tall green-haired girl, dressed rather provocatively, possessing a charm and domineering aura that doesn't fit the typical image of a young girl.
Bai Zhi suddenly realized that he understood.
No wonder, I knew it, we've shared several 'Angelica dahurica's'.
In the world of One-Punch Man, someone with the strength to be considered an A-class fighter wouldn't be in danger so easily.
But now, having caught the attention of a superhumanly powerful siscon, is there any hope left?
Waiting online, very anxious!

A powerful punch landed on the face of the burly man. He ducked to avoid a sneak attack from behind, then kicked the attacker in the chest with a back kick. He bent down, braced himself with one hand, and swept away several enemies who were trying to take advantage of the chaos with a spinning kick.
On the grand arena, even teammates must be on guard. No one knows whether the opponent's enemies will turn their attention to you while you are dodging attacks.
Fubuki and Sykes's decision to leave Baizhi was partly due to this consideration.
"What I want is to fish in troubled waters. You two look like you're not to be trifled with. All the enemies have come to my side. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
Standing up again, Bai Zhi scanned the dense crowd surrounding her, numbering at least twenty, making up one-fifth of the contestants in the grand arena competition.
Tsk, are you a member of the "looks-matter" club?
Don't you even look at how many people have fallen under your feet? You still dare to come and give me free kills.
Fortunately, Fubuki and Sykes' superpowers were applied to Bai Zhi, who wanted to control his movements and defeat the enemy using remote control.
"These two are very loyal. They went all out to help when they said they would. If it were just one of them, I would have been exposed long ago."
Two insignificant forces within him attempted to control his movements, but Bai Zhi completely ignored them, instead using her more familiar skills and techniques to defeat the surrounding enemies.
It wasn't until more than thirty contestants fell at Bai Zhi's feet that the other contestants belatedly realized he was no pushover, and they turned away, turning their attention to the contestants around them.
Having finally found some peace and quiet, Bai Zhi didn't relax; instead, she frowned and looked at the green-haired girl on the platform.
Tornado stared intently at him, her expression fierce, as if she had an urge to kill the ape who had defiled her sister.
"Fubuki is a trap. Putting aside the fact that I didn't make a move on Fubuki, she actually stayed at my house on her own initiative, and her behavior was completely unreserved, treating me like a family member and giving me freebies without a care in the world."
Angelica dahurica can explain this.
but...
Is the explanation helpful?
Tornado's gaze, fixed on the dead, never wavered from beginning to end.
The grand arena competition ended, leaving only three people on the field.
Fubuki, with a terrible expression; Baizhi, with a heavy brow; and... a hunched old man with a mustache and a face full of wrinkles.
That's right, Psykos didn't make the cut. Just now, the burly old man with the mustache, who is also the future S-class hero, Silver Fang Bang, gently slapped her chin. Her brain was momentarily dizzy and she lost consciousness, unable to maintain her superpowers. With a wave of her hand, she was thrown out of the arena.
"I'm getting old, my eye for talent has deteriorated. I didn't even notice such a gem. Kid, are you interested in exchanging martial arts techniques? My Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist will give you a pleasant surprise. Your leg techniques are well-trained, but your fist techniques are mediocre. Don't let down your teacher's efforts."
Banggu's gaze swept over Bai Zhi's body movements, her vigilance and actions etched into her very bones, her simple yet exquisite boxing style, but unfortunately, she was not very skilled.
"No need. It's just a training method I learned by chance. I'm not a martial artist."
Bai Zhi is not a martial artist, or to be more precise, all Bai Zhi, except for Yue Yi Er Ming II Er Yi Shan Leng Ba 2 Tian Jie's Carbonis, focus on numerical power.
When you possess overwhelming numerical power that allows you to crush all obstacles, any skill or tactic becomes merely embellishment.
"...Alas, everyone has their own ambitions. I just hope you won't waste your talent."
Bang sighed and shook his head. The more he observed Bai Zhi, the more he could feel her superior physical talent. Even someone as outstanding as Hungry Wolf was slightly inferior in terms of physical talent. It was a pity that Bai Zhi had no interest in martial arts. He turned and walked off the stage.
"Let's go, Fubuki."
Bai Zhi called to Chui Xue to leave together, as the contestants for the new round of the grand arena had already begun to take the stage.
After taking a few steps, she felt something was off. When she turned around, Fubuki was still standing on the ring. She realized that her opponent was having a fit of psychological trauma related to her older sister, Tatsumaki.
He sighed, thinking that more debts were better than more debts, and since Tornado had her eye on him, what else was there to worry about?
Holding Chuixue's fair and supple hand, Baizhi led her away from the arena amidst the angry stares of the single men around them.
"!!! Quick, let go! My sister will see!" Chuixue realized what was happening and tried to shake off Baizhi's hand, but the latter held on tighter and replied, "There's no need. Since your sister found out that you participated in the New Era Martial Arts Competition, she will definitely investigate what happened to the three of us these past few days."
Including but not limited to: Chuixue staying overnight in Baizhi's dormitory, boys and girls working out together in the gym, nighttime campus dates... one thing after another, it was too late to hide them.
Fubuki clearly had an idea. She relaxed completely, took a few steps forward, and pressed her head against Bai Zhi's back, choosing to bury her head in the sand.
"Little sister, you've really put me in a difficult position." Bai Zhi gave a bitter smile, while Long Juan's killing intent intensified.
He was so enraged by the tornado that he no longer cared about the safety of the crowd and attacked directly. There would be no turning back then.
Hiding in the rest area, Bai Zhi directly asked the staff for the two of them to use for the competition tomorrow. She then pulled Chuixue and the just-awakened Sykes up from the left and right, and left through a side path.
Back in Bai Zhi's dormitory, she learned from a rumor on the news that the entire arena visibly trembled after the grand competition ended.
I couldn't help but swallow. There was nothing I could do but hope that Tornado would calm down after a night.
A night of silence,
The next day, before the start of the round of 32.
A terrifying killing intent and overwhelming aura filled the entire arena. The audience, who should have been engaged in lively discussion, all kept their heads down, silent and afraid to utter a sound, solely because of the green-haired girl sitting on the stage.
The live cameras for martial arts competitions in the new era no longer dare to broadcast tornadoes.
That's not a terrifying expression that should be displayed in public.
Bai Zhi endured the murderous glare that seemed to pierce her soul and could terrify anyone, and accepted the breakfast prepared by Sykes. She and Fubuki ate fried dough sticks with soy milk.
It's better to die well than to starve.
"Do you really have to wear such a bizarre outfit on stage? Aren't you ashamed?"
Sykes waited for the two to eat, but his expression betrayed his frustration with Bai Zhi's fashion sense and style.
Finally, Fubuki couldn't help but point at Bai Zhi and ask:
"Don't you have any decent clothes? Even yesterday's green tracksuit is better than this. No, this isn't a suit, it's a mascot costume for kids. Mascot costumes aren't fashionable for high school students anymore. You're a few years older than us, it's not good to be so childish."
It has a sharp ahoge on its head, big eyes like a kaslan, three claws on each hand, a pair of small yellow wings on its back, and a pure white mascot costume.
Digimon Bai Zhi, the appearance of a baby Kyubeymon, is a costume that Bai Zhi prepared in advance.
One-Punch Man Rookie Entrepreneur: Chapter 92 Exploding Mountain Grandpa
How should I respond to a friend's misunderstanding and slander?
Just smile.
They are not concerned about your actions, but rather whether you will be harmed in the process.
Clearly, the enormous mascot costume did not bring Fubuki any sense of relaxation.
On the competition field, wearing a mascot costume that restricts movement, Chun Chun is simply asking for trouble.
“The mascot costumes conceal terrifying power. I’m just digging into them. Remember the Vest Master from the Vest Gang? He used the Vest Force as if it were his own arm. His explosive muscle strength is something I can’t even begin to match.”
Bai Zhi explained in a very serious tone.
He wasn't lying; Bai Zhi has a real affinity for things related to clothing.
Because he could already hear the heartbeat of the Kyubeymon costume.
"Are you trying to drive me crazy? While you still have time, hurry up and switch it back. I can't help you cheat in the round of 32 anymore."
Fubuki covered her head, feeling a wave of dizziness.
Before the matter with my sister was resolved, the vice leader of the Fubuki Group started causing trouble again.
She is so difficult.
Before Bai Zhi could speak in her defense, the competition announcement began inviting the first round of contestants to enter.
Unfortunately, one of the contestants in the first round happened to be Angelica dahurica.
"I will win the first round." Bai Zhi gave a thumbs up and promised, then put on the Kyubey headgear and wobbled into the competition venue.
His swaying posture made Fubuki's eyes go dark.
Oh no, the teammates I chose either didn't pass the pre-selection or they're such a joke.
Without any factual basis to support my decision about having suitable talent, how can I convince my sister to continue with the Fubuki Group?
"Just one game, just one win, so I'll have more confidence to argue with my sister."
Bai Zhi, dressed as a Cupid doll, saw her opponent through the large eyes of the Kazilan doll—a strange 'familiar face'.
A burly man with a full beard and a knife scar on the tip of his nose.
"The organizing committee is quite considerate of me. Is it going easy on the seeded players? Not bad. I, Baoshan, like this preferential treatment."
He was an outsider with the nickname "Grandpa Exploding Mountain," but at this moment he was still an unknown martial artist.
"You're here to play the clown, right? But you've overlooked a detail. A clown's mouth stretches all the way to his ears. Your costume is unprofessional. I'll take pity on you and fix that for you, including your face."
Bakuzan's arrogant and domineering attitude, along with his muscular physique that defied any sign of weakness, completely shattered Fubuki's last glimmer of hope.
Tired, destroy it.
Fubuki gave up.
