Born into a martial arts family, Mary has been trained in martial arts since she was a child, and after losing her relatives and lovers, Mary has been honing her strength in order to one day find out the truth and take revenge with her own hands.

So Mary has good fighting ability, which makes her not afraid to face any enemy.

If it's sure Louie is coming for herself, she'll give this guy a good look in this place!

It seems that Mary, who is still leaning against the wall, has moved her back away from the wall, and the position of her feet is also changing slightly, and with her arms that seem to be hugged together, but are actually slightly apart, Mary can use her best joint skills at any time to make Louis on the opposite side lose her combat effectiveness in the shortest time.

"It's easy to misunderstand people like this...... Louis shook his head helplessly, he knew the true meaning of Mary's words, but it sounded like Louie was here to chase the girl: "Moreover, I'm not here for you." ”

"Then why are you investigating my profile?"

"It's similar to you knowing me, just by the way, get familiar with the situation of 'peers', so as not to meet and not know each other. Louis gave a reasonable explanation, and it was not clear whether the other party accepted him, at least on the surface of these reasons were in the past.

Then Louis gave an explanation that surprised Mary even more: "Actually, I came to Southtown to participate in some martial arts competitions and exercise my strength. ”

"Huh?"

Mary was really shocked this time, she thought of countless possibilities, but she didn't expect Louie to come to Southtown for this reason?Exercise his strength? Difficult Lu Yi is also a martial artist? But according to the information she knew, Louie used a lot of firearms in several amazing moves.

"Why? Can't I just have a hobby?"

"No, just a little surprised!"

Mary lowered her guarded arms, she looked at Louie curiously, judging from his stature, Louie has the basic conditions to become a martial artist, but he doesn't know how much martial arts he knows, and for the martial artists of this world, the most important thing is to be able to master the magical power of 'qi'.

If Louie is an ordinary person who doesn't understand 'qi' at all, then he can't have any development on the road of martial arts.

Although she thought so in her heart, Mary did not directly say these thoughts, she and Louis were not familiar at all, and it could even be said that they did not know each other before today, but they only learned part of the information about this person out of professional habits.

Why do two people who have no friendship say these things? It's easy to be disgusted by each other, right? Maybe two people don't have a grudge in the first place, because they have become mortal enemies because of a few big truths.

After watching Louie walk out of the alley and turn back into the street, Mary also left the alley, choosing a different direction than when Louie left.

Louie, who continued to wander along the road, continued to walk around Southtown after feeling that Mary was not following again.

It's a big city because of the representative martial arts industry, which makes it a place where people of all nationalities from all over the world come to live.

Even the entire South Town has become a melting pot of the world, and you can see a variety of shops, restaurants alone, and almost every type of food and drink that Louis can think of can be found here.

Louie found a Chinese restaurant, although it was not exactly the same as what he ate in his previous life, but compared to many so-called Chinese food in other places, it is undoubtedly much more authentic, at least it can be sweet without ordering Kung Pao chicken.

Louie, who had a happy and full meal, had not forgotten the business of entering the foggy world, and found a supermarket to replenish a batch of daily necessities, and then continued to think about what to do next?

If you want to hone hand-to-hand combat, now that you know the basics of martial arts, the way to quickly improve is undoubtedly actual combat.

Nanzhen has all sorts of martial arts competitions, big and small, maybe he can ask about it, and he knows where to ask for it, and he will definitely not be fooled.

Louie, who had lost a lot of time, looked at his watch, made sure that Joan's bar was open, and walked back to the bar.

Joan, as an excellent martial artist and the head of the Southtown, must know very well about the big and small fighting competitions in Southtown, he can go there and order a few drinks, and by the way, ask a 'newcomer' like herself, what kind of competitions should he participate in if he wants to participate in the various martial arts competitions held in Southtown, and where can he sign up?

And is there any entry threshold for the various competitions in Southtown? Louie thinks there should be, because the total number of participants in the fighting competition must be controlled, otherwise the influx of a large number of low-end fighters will lower the overall level and cause the competition to become ugly, which will directly affect the brand and revenue.

So there may be some qualifiers or assessments, these things are not explained by a familiar person, and it is easy to be led into the ditch by scammers.

Louis is not afraid of being fooled, and if the other party dares to fool him, he must be mentally prepared to be killed by him, but this will waste a lot of time;

Pushing open the door of the bar, it may be because it is too early, and it is not yet the best time for the bar's business, and the bar seems to be quiet.

Soft music echoed through the dimly lit bar, and a few customers were scattered around the corner, not sure whether they were enjoying the leisurely tranquility or simply drinking a sullen drink.

Louie's gaze circled around the bar and locked on to the bar, where Joan, who was always dressed in neutral attire, was standing inside the bar and talking to a young man with blond hair.

Although the blonde man was wearing a tracksuit instead of the orange uniform, Louis was instantly recognizable as Ryo Sakazaki, the protagonist of Fist of the Dragon and Tiger and who made many appearances in the King of Fighters series.

Walked over and sat down next to Ryo Sakazaki, the young Extreme Stream leader just glanced at Louie and then withdrew his gaze, obviously not interested in Louie - maybe in this part of Southtown, it is too common for men to be taller and stronger than Louie, even if some new faces occasionally appear, everyone doesn't think there is anything worth paying attention to.

Joan recognized Louie as the one who had asked her about the time in the morning, smiled and nodded at Louie as a greeting, and asked Louie what he wanted to drink by the way?

"A glass of whiskey!" When you don't know what to order, ordering a random whiskey or a bottle of beer is the easiest choice, and when he went out drinking with Best, Louie tried many cocktails and finally came to the conclusion: he still prefers Coke!

After that, he didn't study cocktails much, and when he drank, he would just order whiskey, brandy, etc.

Taking a sip, Louis looked around, there was no one now, and it was a good time to talk.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Oh, what do you want to ask?" Joan, who was standing at the bar, had already completed all the preparations for the opening, and she only needed to stay here to entertain the guests who came to the bar, and as for the guests in the booths in the distance, the bar's waiter was in charge.

There are fewer customers at the moment, and chatting with people is also a way to pass the time - it's better than facing that wood!

"There are a lot of martial arts competitions here in Southtown, right? If I want to compete, what should I attend? Where do I need to sign up, and are there any restrictions?"

Louis asked a long list of questions in one go, but Joan, who was on the other side, was not surprised by Louie's question. After all, the people who come to Nanzhen are all martial artists who want to participate in various competitions, and who makes this the most fighting competitions in the world and can earn a lot of money?

Almost every day, new martial artists come here, some of whom have lived in Southtown, some to hone their skills, and some to earn bonuses and fame here.

At the same time, there are also martial artists who keep leaving, and since there are people who have achieved fame, there are naturally people who have completely lost their dreams.

Seeing this situation every day, Joan gradually became numb, for her, the young man in front of her was just one of countless young martial artists with dreams, as for whether he could achieve his goal, it depended on his strength.

But...... Whatever Louie's situation, it doesn't affect her business.

"If you want to get enough information from me, a glass of whiskey isn't enough. ”

"Open a bottle of whiskey. "One glass is not enough, one bottle should be about the same, right? Louis did not ask for it to be recorded in his name, which meant that the bottle of whisky could continue to be sold in bulk .

"If you are participating in a martial arts competition for the first time, then I suggest that you first participate in some tryouts held by regular dojos, which are mainly held by each dojo to promote the strength of their own dojos, and are also a way to recruit new disciples. ”

Seeing Louis so upright, Joan simply and neatly stated the choice suitable for the newcomer.

"But these kinds of competitions usually have good prize money to attract people to participate in, and at the same time give you a quick idea of what you are capable of and where you are in this place...... If you can't even win a competition of this level, then I suggest you choose a well-known dojo and practice hard before thinking about participating in the competition. ”

As for the fighting competitions held all over South Town, she didn't recommend them, and some of them have a registration threshold for high-prize and well-known competitions, which newcomers like Louis can't participate in directly.

Although there is no threshold for registration for more underground fighting events, and the prize money is also very good, it is easy to have accidents, and without knowing Louie's strength, Joan doesn't want to trap this young man.

"And I know there's a gym that's preparing to hold a fighting match. Joan not only provided a more reliable direction, but even directly introduced the appropriate event to Louis - her eyes glanced at Ryo Sakazaki who was sitting next to Louis: "It's the famous Extreme Flow Karate." ”
