Three broad-shouldered men with wide faces looked distinctly Japanese. Gao Liang had now reached the point where he could judge and recognize his opponents' movements simply by relying on his inner spiritual energy, even with his eyes closed. Indeed, one of the bearded giants signaled to another, and the two of them, holding a dagger each, crept close to Gao Liang when everyone was drowsy. Damn it—how could they take his life so easily? Gao Liang clearly grew angry. As the daggers approached, he effortlessly caught the two men's hands and applied just a little pressure, causing them to cry out, "Oh my!" A Japanese flight attendant arrived and asked what was going on. Gao Liang released six-tenths of his strength, and only then did the two men stop shouting. Then, with fluent English, he said, "No problem! No problem!" as if nothing had happened. The attendant walked away. At that moment, the other broad-shouldered man quietly moved in to attack Gao Liang.
He intended to distract Gao Liang—only then could he activate his "Cactus Masterstroke!" This was a cactus capable of releasing a toxic gas that emanated directly from its palms, targeting Gao Liang's back. Gao Liang, unprepared, had been ambushed by this subtle maneuver and succeeded in this moment. Yet, Gao Liang was no easily daunted opponent. As the toxic gas entered his body, he instantly employed a powerful technique from the Shaolin Temple—the "Locking Yin Power"—which secured all one hundred and eight vital acupoints, preventing the toxin from penetrating. If he could hold on for just five more seconds, he would launch a counterattack that would obliterate all his adversaries. However, precisely at the third second, Mizuho arrived. At that moment, the towering man who had summoned the "Cactus Masterstroke" seized Mizuho's neck tightly, and she struggled desperately—yet the more she struggled, the tighter he pressed. "Don't worry about me!"
Mei Hui-zi shouted with all her strength, then turned to the three massive robbers and said, "You bunch of thieves!" At that moment, Gao Liang, who had forgotten that he himself was in the most danger, could no longer concentrate. Instead of continuing with his "Sealing Yin Technique," he immediately activated his "Jingdang Fist" and launched it at the three large men. But the big men had already been on guard and easily dodged, leaving Gao Liang's fist empty. Seeing Mei Hui-zi being tightly pinned by one of the big men, Gao Liang roared in fury and once again summoned his "Jingdang Fist." Yet, he soon noticed the toxic air gradually seeping into his body. "Ah!" he staggered, his head spun, and then collapsed to the ground. Since the flight attendant had gone to attend to customers in the front cabin, these scenes went unnoticed. Some passengers who had witnessed the events simply treated them as if they hadn't happened—nowadays, when traveling, people naturally preferred to avoid trouble, protect themselves, and stay out of it, especially when faced with three relentless and fierce assailants.
Gao Liang went limp, and the three assailants beamed with satisfaction, locking his hands. At the same time, Mei Hui-ko was freed by the tall, broad-shouldered man from the cactus.
"Let's go to the Red Sun Group and claim our rewards!" the three large men chuckled.
"Miss Mei Hui-ko, your contribution is truly outstanding! We never thought our Japanese beauty could so effortlessly captivate a Chinese man! Hah! Nevertheless, this Chinese man must die. We'll hand him over to the Red Sun Group for judgment. The headquarters will decide! Hah-hah-hah!" The three large men burst into laughter.
Mei Hui-ko, with her simple, puzzled gaze, asked, "I have no grudge against him—he's quite a good man. Why have you used me to frame him? I certainly don't want any rewards from you!"
The three large men snorted, saying, "For the sake of our great nation, Japan, this exceptionally talented Chinese man can only have two fates: either he dies, or he serves our great Japanese Empire. Do you understand?"
After speaking, he burst out laughing with a fierce, wild roar. Mizuhiko was stunned—she couldn't understand why an outstanding Chinese man was being treated so unfairly. When Gao Liang woke up, he found his feet and hands tightly bound with thick ropes to a steel cage. He noticed a large mural of a red sun on the wall in front of him—the "Red Sun"! Wasn't that Japan's most secretive superpower organization? It seemed he had indeed fallen into their hands.
"Yours is not a graceful gesture! You give us a good beating—give them a good beating!" The deputy named Sakai, flushed with anger, was about to signal his three towering assistants to strike when the bearded Fujino immediately stopped him, shouting, "I simply won't believe he can see beauty and remain unmoved!" As Fujino spoke, the three large men passed a crimson pill into Gao Liang's mouth. Fujino laughed heartily, "This is my Xiao Yao Mi Hún San! Anyone who swallows it will be struck by passion—even a master of divine rank will be utterly overwhelmed! Hah! As long as you break your vow of chastity, you'll be absorbed into our Japanese Red Sun Group! Hah! The martial arts of the Chinese nation? A mere afterthought. Everything belongs to our great Japan!" After swallowing the pill, Gao Liang felt a surge of warmth throughout his body and grew dazed. In his confusion, he sensed himself being carried to another place. When he opened his eyes, wow! Where was he? Where indeed?
Not far away, there is a distinctive emblem: a circular design composed of two ginkgo leaves, in two tones—light yellow and light blue. High-light is an outstanding student at Kyoto University in China and has a deep understanding of renowned universities around the world. Isn't this emblem exactly the logo of Tokyo University in Japan? Strictly speaking, Kyoto University's official seal is also this very design. How did I end up at Kyoto University? Well, here we are—so be it! Regarding Tokyo University, let me provide a brief introduction: Tokyo University (in Japanese: Tōkyō Daigaku) is one of Japan's nine Imperial Universities and a national university. It traces its origins to the Edo period, when the Tokugawa shogunate established the Kaikōsho (Fangshu Tōsho) and the Medical School. Tokyo University is Japan's first university established under a modern academic system and stands as the nation's highest academic institution, producing numerous national leaders among its graduates.
The University of Tokyo is the top-ranked university in Japan and across Asia, and one of the world's leading 50 universities, attracting numerous students each year who compete to enroll there.
