Chapter 225 - Apprenticeship | Quota Dispute (2/2)

Five thousand? Even Okamoto Takeshi was tempted by the price. If it weren’t for his strong family background that enabled him access to the top grade biochemical beasts and auxiliary drugs, he would have taken the opportunity to be Qin Fen’s disciple as well.

That mighty power was undoubtedly a huge attraction for Okamoto Takeshi, who was from the strength school.

Qin Fen looked at the excited Kyokushin Genichi, “Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes!” Kyokushin Genichi nodded extensively.

“Hehe…”

Qin Fen smiled weakly. If he didn’t count the biker gang he had accepted in midst of confusion in the past, this should be his first actual disciple.

Kyokushin Genichi straightened his posture to salute Qin Fen, “Master, what is our school’s name?”

Qin Fen felt that it was too early to mention the Dragon Hall in the battle network, but he could not come up with another suitable name for the time being. Thus, he simply said, “Regarding this… I haven’t figured it out yet.”

“Alright!” Kyokushin Genichi nodded strongly again.

Qin Fen looked at Kyokushin Genichi, “Is there anything else?”

“No, Master.”

“Then that’s it for now. I’ll be heading off to the living quarters, see you another day.”

“Yes, Master!”

Okamoto Takeshi looked at Qin Fen’s back and walked toward Kyokushin Genichi, “Sir Genichi, congratulations.”

Kyokushin Genichi took a deep breath, looked up at Okamoto Takeshi’s gaze, and said with a serious voice, “Thank you! My family is far from the Okamoto family, but I also have a heart that wants to succeed. The Kyokushin school is not lacking in talent, my talents are just not qualified enough for the Master Kyokushin to exempt my tuition fees. In order for me to practice Kyokushin new Karate, my family has to take up a huge burden. Today might be the best turning point in my life, I most definitely won’t give it up!”

“I admire you.” Okamoto Takeshi smiled calmly, “I heard that Kyokushin School and Neo Taekwondo had both not sent out their best pupil. I guess that those rumors are true.”

Kyokushin Genichi showed a face of resentment, “The Kyokushin master thinks that the best stage to expand the prestige of the Kyokushin School isn’t here, but the Great Ensemble!”

“The Great Ensemble?” Okamoto Takeshi’s fat vibrated a little, and his gaze sharpened, “That is for sure the best stage to expand schools. However, if the disciples of those schools can’t get a good ranking during the Recruit Tournament, they would only embarrass themselves during the Great Ensemble! In this Recruit Tournament, I must…”

Okamoto Takeshi paused for a bit, and grinned “Be in the top three…”

Several recruits laughed at the same time, everyone was still thinking about how to get number one even after being defeated by James. But after seeing Qin Fen and Du Peng’s strength, Okamoto Takeshi’s words were the exact portrayal of all their thoughts.

“Eh? What are these loser dogs that had never won a single battle laughing about here?”

A sharp and annoying sound came from behind Zha Can and the others.

Kyokushin Genichi’s thick eyebrows squirmed in curiosity, and coldly said, “Liang Tao, what a perfect time for you to be here.”

Okamoto Takeshi and a few others turned back with a disgusted look in their eyes.

Liang Tao was one hundred and eighty-three centimeters tall, and his body was burly. His face was covered with dozens of red acne. His eyes and eyebrows were slightly stretched, and on his nose, there was a pair of plain-glass golden spectacles.

The strength of Liang Tao was still quite good. In the earlier days, besides the few of them who were in this boot camp, there was also Liang Tao.

However, when James and the others swept the boot camp, this person who had always announced his desire to challenge Qin Fen had disappeared suddenly.

“Why? Why is it a perfect time for me to be here?” Liang Tao grinned while pushing up the glasses on his nose that was used to showcase his decency, “I had a task that required me to leave the camp for the last few days. I just heard about the two American recruits that were here and sent all you into the hospital. I have already rushed back for the sake of East Asia recruits’ reputation. Where are they? Let me take revenge for all of you. Let’s not weaken East Asia’s name.

Okamoto Takeshi sneered again, the information he got showed that Liang Tao did not get any mission out of the camp. Instead, he used the ties of his family background to switch him to a boot camp’s special department temporarily so that he would not be found by James.

Zha Can had the same cold and disdainful smile on his face. A person who had run to seek cover at the special department could still have such pride? It was apparent that he had only stopped being a coward and appeared when he had already gotten the news of James being defeated.

“What are you laughing at? Are you guys happy after hearing that I’m here to seek revenge for you?”

Okamoto Takeshi took a deep breath. The fat on his face bounced due to the trigger of anger.

“Liang Tao.” Zha Can raised his finger and pointed to him, “You really should be thankful that you were born in a family where a person like Cao Bo exists. Otherwise, I would have already killed you.”

Liang Tao’s pulled back his body a little, his droopy brows finally formed a straight line after they had been forcefully raised, “Zha Can, what do you mean? We are all representatives of East Asia in the Recruit Tournament, we should be united…”

“Joining the Recruit Tournament with you?” Zha Can’s angry face turned into a smiley one, “Are you dreaming? There are only three slots for our boot camp, what right do you have to take one of them? Where were you when James insulted us as the sick men of East Asia? Let me tell you! In fact, there is only one last spot left for our boot camp. You want to grab it? Sure! I can tell you who your opponents are. That are Okamoto Takeshi, Mohammed Choba, Kyokushin Genichi, Park Jong-Hwan, and I! If you want the slot, you would have to beat us first!”

“There are only three slots?” Liang Tao’s eyes turned and turned, “We are all East Asian recruits, I will not fight with you.”

“Why? You didn’t know?” Zha Can sneered, “Indeed, what could you have heard from hiding in your tortoiseshell?”

“Hehe…” Liang Tao twisted his eight-character eyebrows, his face didn’t have a single blush of shame, “Among the three slots, there will definitely be one for me. Dear all, I still have things to do, we shall meet during the tournament.”

Zha Can folded his arms across his chest, “Trash, a useless thing that only knows how to seek help from home is also eligible to get a slot?”

“Three slots?” Liang Tao left the small field of the fierce battle with his hands in the pocket of his trousers, “Looking at the way they had given up the two slots, it seems that Qin Fen and Du Peng really did win the American recruits. According to the rumors, Du Peng seems to be related to the Snake King Du family. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to snatch his slot. However, I have done some research on Qin Fen and found that he is just a nobody with no background. I just have to call my mum to request uncle to change my name with Qin Fen’s to get this slot.”

Liang Tao stopped and looked back at Zha Can and others, who had become a small figure in the distance. He smiled coldly, “Take the risk in fighting for a slot with you guys? I, Liang Tao am not as stupid as you guys! For something that could be done just by using a tiny bit of power, why would I take risks?”
