Eddie was still in the challenge, and in Kyoto, the Goddess Group building, this building was newly built, from construction to decoration, it only took less than a week, and it was hailed as a modern miracle!
No one knew how this building with over two hundred floors was built; at least, the evaluating experts believed that even a magnitude ten earthquake would leave this building unscathed.
Wearing a women's dress, with golden hair styled in an updo, and a fresh and beautiful face, Mature had just arrived at the Goddess Group's CEO office.
Alex and Mature, two powerful women, sat opposite each other, one smoking, the other holding a coffee cup, a rare tranquility in the air.
"Eddie is your husband, isn't he?" Mature put down her coffee cup, a playful smile on her face.
Alex's delicate eyebrows twitched, "That's right. If you have something to say, just say it."
"We need his help to defeat someone. Goenitz, the Breath of the Storm. Do you know about the Orochi Clan?" Mature asked with a smile, crystal pendants hanging from her exquisite ears.
"My husband has already told me. I was skeptical before. The Orochi Clan is the negative will embodiment of your planet, right? If you let the Orochi Clan complete its purification, you will cease to exist. Is that right?" Alex tapped the ash from her cigarette with her elegant hand. She knew everything, including what Eddie had been doing recently; she knew it all.
Knowing didn't mean exposing. On some matters, she was very open-minded. Moreover, this style of disappearing without a word and only contacting when needed suited Alex perfectly. She wouldn't be like a clingy woman, following him around all day.
Mature nodded, "What we need to do is delay the arrival of the Orochi Clan. Goenitz is the most loyal to the Orochi Clan, as are the Three Heavenly Kings. We don't want to reincarnate, and we're tired of reincarnation. I see hope in Eddie."
"Why don't you join us? Use science to break this deadlock. You provide us with samples, and I will be responsible for deciphering your secrets. And if you join us, you will find that your so-called god is merely another form of life that you don't understand," Alex spoke eloquently. What was supposed to be a collaboration, in her hands, turned into a surrender.
Mature suddenly let out a delicate laugh, with a hint of mockery in her voice, "I think you're mistaken. The Orochi Clan will not perish, nor will it disappear. I merely want to delay the Orochi Clan's revival. The Orochi Clan is bound to revive, and there's no benefit in opposing it."
Alex didn't mind. With a wave of her hand, the coffee pot automatically flew up and refilled Mature's cup of coffee. "This is my latest mastery; I couldn't do it before. It's amazing, isn't it? There's so much you Eight Generals don't understand. This is the era of science, don't you know?"
Mature's beautiful eyes flickered a few times. She could sense the unusualness and power of the woman in front of her. "First, stop Goenitz, and then we'll discuss the next step."
"Alright, but we need some of your hair and blood," Alex didn't refuse. Collaborations are always step by step, and her goal was to control the overall situation.
Eddie's idea was simple: rely on Excella to make money, Annette and Rebecca for experimental research and development, and Alex for overall coordination. This model was somewhat similar to the NESTS organization.
After Mature left the samples, Alexia emerged from the teleportation room.
Alex handed over the samples, "The research on the Orochi Clan is entrusted to you. Will you conduct the experiments here?"
Alexia looked at the dark red blood test tube, a glimmer of light in her beautiful eyes, "What a surprising taste. No need, I'll do it at the outpost. I found other hidden satellites in orbit. On this planet, there's also an organization whose technology isn't too backward. You'd best be careful."
It was both surprising and enviable that two women, both brilliant and of peerless beauty, would marry the same man and maintain such a good relationship.
Chapter 677: Cracking the Special Move
In a secret cave by a seaside cliff, three women were meditating and cultivating. Since awakening, Lisa, Jessica, and Hilda had been quietly cultivating their Ki. Their task was simple: to act as ascetics, hone their Ki, become top-tier fighters, share their experience, and then become bodyguards.
If it weren't for extremely important individuals, the three of them were almost inseparable from Eddie, serving as twenty-four-hour bodyguards who even followed him to the restroom.
Alexia brought Annette and Christine, sisters with exceptional talent in virology and pharmacology, to the Outpost Planet to fully dedicate themselves to unraveling the secrets of the Orochi Clan.
Returning to Geese Tower, Eddie had already reached the third floor of the top-level sword art section.
Here, Billy, wearing a red bandana and dressed similarly to a banana man, was waiting with a staff. "You're fast. If you want to challenge Geese-sama, you must first defeat me!"
"Match start!" As soon as the referee's voice fell, both men quickly made their moves.
Eddie advanced rapidly, while Billy swung his long staff quickly. The staff was a blur, only the whistling wind could be heard.
He dodged the staff's attack with a slide, then slapped his palm on the ground, springing himself up.
His Ki concentrated in his hand-blade, he slashed towards Billy.
A surprised Billy couldn't understand how his opponent could see through his moves; they had never fought before! He pulled back his staff with both hands, raising it high to block the incoming hand-blade.
Eddie sneered. With a virus-enhanced physique and Ki amplification, he directly cut the staff in half. His hand-blade even severed the iron chain hidden inside the staff, and with undiminished momentum, it slashed into Billy's shoulder.
Bang! Billy cried out in pain, dropping to one knee, immediately losing his combat ability.
This was the advantage of superhuman physical strength. Ordinary fighters' physical qualities indeed surpassed those of ordinary people, but only just.
Eddie's body had long since evolved, capable of exerting tens of tons of force. Combined with the effects of Ki, if he hadn't held back a little, he would have probably chopped off Billy's arm clean off.
"I surrender!" Billy had no choice but to concede. His shoulder was throbbing with excruciating pain, possibly even fractured!
Eddie nodded and left, "Thank you for the match!"
It was still a one-hit defeat, clean and decisive. Even Geese's top enforcers seemed unable to stop Eddie's advance.
This caused Geese a hint of surprise and a touch of threat. This man was far more powerful than he had imagined.
Rugal, however, was somewhat excited. Another powerful opponent; it seemed very interesting.
After dealing with Billy, Eddie walked towards the second-to-last floor. Alyssa followed behind him, providing commentary and building up her husband's prestige.
The second-to-last floor was where he encountered the Tengu Man, wearing a strange Tengu mask. This was actually the name of a type of demon, having little to do with dogs; it was simply a demon.
Terry and Andy, the two brothers still fighting on the lower floors, were desperately trying to catch up, only to find that Eddie, who had been evenly matched with them before, was like he had taken a stimulant today, more ferocious than a bull in spring.
The Tengu Man wore a pure white Daoist robe with a dark black sash tied in the middle, looking somewhat like a karate master. He sat kneeling on a meditation cushion, seemingly cultivating, with a wisp of green smoke rising from the nearby incense burner, carrying a scent of sandalwood.
The Tengu Man stood up, performed a karate bow, and abruptly swung his arms out to the sides, "Let's begin!"
"Alright, come on! Come at me!" Eddie made a standard One-Yang Finger gesture, hooking his index finger, looking extremely provocative.
This unconventional challenge made everyone laugh.
Alyssa's beautiful eyes were fixed on Eddie. This was her man, her husband, a husband who made her proud!
Whoosh! A Ko'ouken formed of Ki flew over, the pale blue Ki possessing considerable power.
Eddie easily dodged it, but the next second, the Tengu Man suddenly unleashed a special move, placing his hands at his waist and pushing them out forcefully.
A massive Ko'ouken Ki flew at an extremely fast speed, leaving Eddie, who had just dodged, no time or space to evade. All possible escape routes were blocked, forcing him to confront it head-on.
Eddie took a deep breath, spun rapidly, and delivered a spinning kick, his Ki combining with the essence of nature, executing King's most standard Venom Strike!
Three consecutive Venom Strikes hit the same point of the special Ko'ouken, breaking through the special move by concentrating force on a single point!
The laymen watching on TV were thrilled. This was true fighting; the previous one-hit KOs were just bullying the weak!
But the experienced fighters seemed to notice something unusual: a normal move had countered a special move! How was this possible!
King was also very surprised. She had only taught Eddie some unique moves, but she never expected him to use them more skillfully than her. This astonished her greatly. Was this a case of plagiarism outdoing the original?
Mai Shiranui's beautiful eyes were also filled with surprise. She wasn't a mere pretty face; she understood the profoundness within. This was definitely not a move a beginner could execute.
"King, is this your dowry? Teaching my husband your secret techniques?" Mai Shiranui joked, her pretty face adorned with a charming smile, coupled with the allure of a newlywed wife, almost causing another chain collision among passersby!
King lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed, "No, Eddie just asked me for guidance last night, so I taught him. His talent is truly amazing; he remembered it after just one try!"
This was the key point. He remembered it after learning it once and could execute it accurately. That was what was truly astonishing.
