"arrive."
After King arrived in Z City, he followed Silver Fang to the dojo.
Banggu's Taoist temple is located on the edge of the large forest between Z City and Y City, built on a cliff.
When King got off the car and looked up at the stairs that were like a ladder to the sky, his feet felt soft and he almost turned around and left. This ladder was simply a replica of the Eighteen Pans of Mount Tai. The cliffs of the two mountains here are as sharp as a chip, and the steep stone steps are inlaid in it. Among them, looking from above and below, it looks like a ladder to Tianmen.
"King, is this your first time to our dojo?" Bang Gu introduced with a smile on his back, hands behind his back, "This long stone step is used by the dojo disciples for training. Usually, the disciples run along the stone steps to practice. Old man, I His strength was also cultivated on the stone steps day after day. Alas, those are all things of the past. Let’s not mention it anymore. Let’s go up quickly. Chalanzi is probably already waiting anxiously.”
"Um...Banggu, can I ask a question?"
"What?"
"Is there an elevator? Maybe a cable."
“…”
After Banggu made it clear that there was no other way to go up the mountain except walking, King could only sigh in his heart and grit his teeth and climb up.
"Huhu~"
At the beginning, King could walk quickly, but after a few minutes, he was out of breath. His physical fitness was really poor, and Banggu disappeared at an unknown time.
"This is going to kill me."
He stared at the endless stone steps with numbness, and almost turned around and went down the mountain. But thinking that his safety was not guaranteed, he patiently climbed up with difficulty, resting almost every ten steps and every hundred steps.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain, he immediately lay down, soaked in sweat, breathing heavily. He was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger at the moment.
Well
Banggu clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the exhausted king with a slight stoop. His eyes were full of doubts. King was so tired after climbing a hill? It shouldn’t be!
According to his understanding of the king's strength, he could easily climb the stone steps at this level. How could he be so exhausted
Could it be that…
His pupils shrank and he stared solemnly at King who was lying on the ground tired. Yes, that must be the case. King actually took advantage of going up the mountain to seize the time to practice. Logically speaking, with King's strength, even if he ran back and forth along the stone steps There is only one explanation for why he looks like this after several trips. When King climbs the mountain, he mobilizes the muscles of his body to maximize energy consumption and exercise. Only in this way is it possible So exhausted in such a short period of time.
He was very emotional that it was not unreasonable for King to become so powerful. He actually put cultivation into every move of his daily life. He did not slack off at all and persevered, and finally became the strongest man on the face of the earth.
God rewards those who work hard!
Compared to Banggu's emotion, the king is just worried. The old man Banggu won't see through the reality of my strength, right? Hey, never mind, I am a hero who was lucky enough to begin with. Even if I am found out, the worst thing I can do is stop being a king and become my otaku again, and I will be happy and carefree.
However, until he recovered, Bang Gu did not question his strength, leaving him confused, so he simply got up and followed Bang Gu into the dojo.
Banggu's ashram has a front yard with some flowers, plants and trees planted, making it very quiet. The surrounding buildings are specially built dormitories for practicing disciples. However, most of the buildings are empty. As far as King knows, the ashram is now There is only one disciple left - Cha Lanzi.
The main body of the dojo is like a small gymnasium. The floor is covered with wooden boards. You need to take off your shoes to enter. The dojo is also empty, with only a calligraphy hanging on the wall - Keep going!
At this time, Banggu's only disciple, Cha Lanzi, was sweating and wiping the floor with a rag.
"Hey, Charanzi, are you ready to cook? There are important guests visiting today."
Banggu greeted Charanzi at work with a smile and invited the king to come up.
"Teacher, you are back."
Chalanzi looked up and saw Bang Gu, and was immediately delighted, "Has that giant monster been eliminated?"
Bang Gu pointed to the king next to him who was taking off his peaked cap and said: "When I arrived, the giant had been killed by the king."
"King?"
Charanzi shifted her gaze to King, her eyes suddenly glowing, "The strongest man on the surface—King?"
"Eh."
King turned his head away helplessly. This name made his ears tingle, and Chalanzi's expression of surprise when she saw him for the first time even made her vomit.
Alas, being the idol of thousands of boys and girls is also very tiring!
"Charanzi, don't just sit there. King is going to stay in our dojo for a few days. Please take King to the guest room to find the way. Old man, I'll prepare the ingredients for hot pot tonight."
Bang Gu knocked on the giggling Chalanzi and rushed him to lead the way.
"oh oh… "
Chalanzi came to his senses and quickly led King the way, "Mr. King, please follow me."
"Um."
King followed Charanzi to the guest room and walked around. The guest room was not big, but it was well-equipped with clean and tidy beds and spotless bathrooms.
"Mr. King, do you need anything else?"
Chalanzi warmly entertained the king and was busy in front of him.
"I think everything is quite complete, there's nothing else needed."
King shook his head and indicated that he wanted to take a shower. He sweated a lot along the way from City B to the mountain climbing, which made him uncomfortable.
"Okay, you wash it slowly. When the hot pot is ready, I'll come over and call you. There's something good in the hot pot tonight. The Wushu Association just sent my teacher some boxes of fresh high-grade beef. You have to try it."
"Martial arts association?"
After King watched the enthusiastic Charanzi leave, he put hot water in the bathtub, lay down comfortably, and recalled the information about the martial arts association.
In the world of One Punch Man, there is not only a violent organization like the Heroes Association, but also various related violent groups such as the Martial Arts Association and the Sword Master Association.
Moreover, the strength of each violent organization is similar to that of the Heroes Association. For example, the Martial Arts Association has recruited martial arts masters from all over the world, including Bangu and Bangu's Onii-chan brother Bangpu, etc., who are very powerful.
In addition, the Sword Master Guild is also a formidable organization. The fourth S-class hero, the Atomic Samurai, is a member of the Sword Master Guild. Who knows how deep the water is, maybe there are other perverted level swordsmen hidden in it!
Therefore, the Heroes Association may seem to have unlimited glory, but in fact, there is no single dominant player in terms of strength. There are many overt or covert organizations that can compete with it.
Of course, since Saitama joined the Hero Association, the Hero Association has really become a dominant force.
After all, there are thousands of experts on one bald head!
"Alas, we have to find Saitama when the system is restored. We can establish friendship with Saitama as soon as possible and our lives will be protected as soon as possible. After all, the system is sometimes too unreliable."
King was lying in the warm bathtub, thinking comfortably.
