Following the pipes on the exterior of the building that had come up earlier, Rick fell back to the surface and disappeared into the quiet of the night.

"Rick, you're back. Look, here's some chicken wings I just got for you. Come and taste it. ”

Minyanagi Maki smiled and picked up a browned chicken wing from the grill and handed it to Rick.

"Well, it's delicious. Maki's barbecue skills are also great! Rick took it and took a few bites of the chicken wings in front of him.

"Really? Then eat more. I've baked a lot of it since you left. ”

Hearing this, Maki smiled and kept delivering food to Rick.

"Cody, they're looking for you just now, so let's go over together."

After the barbecue was over, Rick thought about it and didn't tell Mike Haag about Sims.

After killing Sims and his secretary, he put them in the system space that had been expanded after completing the mission, and after going downstairs, he found a shore where Sims really disappeared into the world.

A few days later, when the situation in the city was completely stable, Cody and Jessica said goodbye and went out on a trip together. Then Kai left the city alone and embarked on a spiritual journey.

After bidding farewell to a few people, Rick and Maki flew to Japan and arrived at the martial arts training place of Maki's father, Master Minamoto Yanagisai.

It's cherry blossom season, and in front of a Japanese-style martial arts venue, rows of cherry blossom trees are in full bloom. The pink color echoes the green meadow.

The breeze blows, and the wind chimes hanging from the cherry blossom trees ring.

Behind the dojo is a lush, turquoise hill with a babbling stream and a verdant bamboo forest.

Rick followed Maki to the front of the martial arts arena, and in the courtyard sat a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged, although he was a little old, his sturdy figure could still be seen under the martial arts uniform.

"Hello Master Genliuzhai."

The meditator opened his eyes, his gaze was peaceful, without any momentum.

Genyanagisai looked at Rick, who was politely in front of him, and Maki, who was standing aside, and stood up.

"You're Rick?"

"Yes, Master, I have come to visit you this time."

"Good! Look at the moves! Yuan Liuzhai nodded, his originally calm face suddenly became grim, and a murderous aura came towards Rick. The figure moved, and attacked Rick.

A solemn sense of oppression came from in front of him, although Rick didn't feel any murderous aura from Genryuzhai's offensive.

In the face of Genliuzhai's tentative attack, Rick also let go of his hands and feet, constantly resisting dodges and counterattacks.

This fierce battle was stunned by the fact that Genyanagi Maki next to him was dumbfounded.

Why did they just meet and fight without saying a word, although she was anxious, she still watched patiently for a while, although the battle between the two was fierce, but there was no life and death, just a simple exchange.

Maki watched the battle between the two and was a little entangled, whether to cheer for his father or cheer for Rick.

The fists and feet touched each other, and there were not many injuries on the two of them, but the clothes of both sides were a little messy.

Yuan Liuzhai felt more and more satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face, although he did not use all his strength, he also secretly put some effort into it.

The young man named Rick on the opposite side basically defended his attacks in the battle with himself, and he could find an interval to attack himself from time to time, although there were more flaws in the moves, but the young body and good foundation still made him nod secretly.

In the battle, the two simply collided between their bodies, and after Yuan Yanagi dodged Rick's punch, he shouted, "Use gas!" ”

When Rick heard this, a light red aura poured out from his body, enveloping his whole body, and with a single step, he attacked Yuanliuzhai at a faster speed.

"Hiss~" Yuan Liuzhai looked at Rick who was full of arrogance, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, although he had heard that this kid was talented, and his qi was far beyond ordinary people. But he was still shocked by what he saw.

After receiving Rick's punch head-on, his fist and even his arm were a little numb, and after the qi covered by his fist collided with Rick's qi, he also had the intention of collapsing.

Good boy, it seems that if you don't show real effort, it's not easy to deal with.

After the two of them used qi to attack each other, Yuan Liuzhai found that although the other party was young, the total amount of qi in his body was not at all the same as that of himself who had cultivated for decades. That is, the combat experience is still somewhat lacking.

Although the audience of the battle is only his daughter, this is not to be ashamed.

Genliu Zhai's expression did not change on the surface, but he secretly used all his strength, taking advantage of the unstable force of Rick's punch and unable to retract it, he was lucky on the soles of his feet, and after dodging Rick's attack, he dodged behind Rick and got up and kicked Rick away.

"Rick, are you alright?"

Seeing Rick being kicked by his father, Maki hurriedly ran to Rick.

Rick stabilized his body in the air, his toes connected to the ground to stabilize his body, and he received Genyanagi's kick, and there was no pain or injury on his body, but he seemed to be unable to control his body and flew backwards after receiving a huge force.

"I'm fine, thank you for your mercy."

"Ahem, your physical fitness is almost perfect, the difference is the use of qi skills and combat experience, you live here during this time, I will try my best to guide you."

"Thank you, Master." Rick patted and sorted out the traces of his clothes that had been affected by the battle, and bowed to Yuan Liuzhai in thanks.

"And you, Maki, look at Ren Rick, you are the same age as you, you are far worse than other people Rick, and from today onwards, you will also close your feet and practice hard here."

When her daughter was raised and was about to run away, looking at Maki, who was standing next to Rick with a concerned face, Genliu Zhai couldn't help but be angry.

"Father~ I can't compare to Rick, Cody and Big Brother Kai may not be able to beat Rick."

"Hmph, practice well, I will temporarily close the dojo before you come, and the two of you are responsible for cleaning the dojo and daily food."

Yuan Liuzhai flicked his sleeves and turned around.

The next day, at the end of the day's training, Rick lay on the grassy ground with his hands behind his head and watched the stars in the night sky.

"Rick, what are you thinking? Don't you think it's a bit monotonous and boring? ”

Minyanagi sat on the grass, holding the grass in one hand and tilting his head sideways.

"No, this kind of life is very fulfilling, and I can feel my face bulging at the end of the day.

Rick sat up and reached out to pinch both of Maki's bulging cheeks.

"You, are you thinking?" His cheek was tugged at Rick, and Maki looked at Rick with round eyes.

"Haha, it's nothing, when you can beat me, let me call you Senior Sister again."

Maki gritted her silver teeth and got up and pushed, knocking Rick down on the grass.

Rick was accidentally pressed under Maki, feeling the soft touch on his chest. I can't help but sigh a little.

It's so brutal!

The two faces were facing each other, looking at each other, and the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if the air had become quiet.

"Ahem!"

"Are you idle? It's time to train in the evening. ”

Hearing Genryu Zhai's voice, Maki suddenly came to his senses, immediately bounced off Rick's body, and ran away quickly towards the martial arts hall.

As the aroma slowly dissipated, Rick closed his eyes and said silently.

"Return."
