Three Sacred Treasures Family Blood

"Calm your mind."

In the sweltering heat of June, a group of people began to meditate under the guidance of Chin Gensai. Ryoma Sengoku was not among them (he had already left).

"Qi is a profound and important martial arts philosophy. Qi is the life force contained within the human body, and it is also the core of martial arts training. Through deep breathing and meditation, focus your attention within your body and feel the circulation of Qi. Qi is not only an internal strength but can also be utilized in combat. When attacking, releasing Qi can increase the power and range of your punches and kicks. At the same time, when facing an enemy's attack, learn to use Qi to strengthen your defense and resistance, thus maintaining a stable combat stance."

Chin Gensai's voice echoed leisurely, drifting through the space.

"Maintain inner peace and calmness. Qi is closely related to the mind; only with inner peace can you master more powerful Qi. In battle, keep your mind clear and don't be swayed by emotions to better utilize the power of Qi."

"In life, Qi is a life energy that not only plays a role in combat but can also be used for healing and recovery."

The meditation and training concluded.

Andrew, looking confused, said to Nathan Hawke, "I honestly don't understand anything. Although I can understand Chinese since coming to this world, I can't grasp what the Master is saying at all."

Nathan Hawke replied, "You can think of your telekinesis as 'Qi' to understand it. See how Max gets it? He seems to have grasped it." As he spoke, both looked over and saw Max with an enlightened expression, sparks crackling around him.

"Huh? Does he have lightning abilities like Benimaru?" Sie Kensou asked, looking at Electro's sparking body as he approached the two.

"Something like that," Nathan Hawke replied simply.

The current timeline for KOF is 1996, with the upcoming KOF tournament scheduled for July.

Nathan Hawke had agreed to Chin Gensai's request, so Andrew joined the Superpower team to participate in this KOF tournament.

This reverse summoning, or rather, transmigration, was an upgrade to the cheat system within Nathan Hawke, granting him the ability to transmigrate and the chance to anchor himself in a world, allowing him to travel back and forth.

At the same time, Nathan Hawke sensed that his time in this world was limited to about two months, roughly until the end of the KOF tournament.

"Hmm?" Nathan Hawke noticed some text appearing before his eyes, visible only to him.

"Transmigrated World: KOF."

"Time Limit: Two Months."

"New Companions Allowed: 1 (Voluntary)."

So that's how it was. Nathan Hawke understood. It was essentially still a summoning, but this time it was a transmigration to another world, where he could personally choose, or rather, conquer.

"96? Who would be suitable to bring back?" Nathan Hawke sat down cross-legged and began to ponder.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Master, why do I have to train with these disreputable people?" Sie Kensou asked with a grimace, though inwardly he was upset because this meant less alone time with Athena.

Chin Gensai took a drink from his gourd, smacking his lips, and said, "Don't think I don't know what's on your mind?"

"Heh heh." Sie Kensou guiltily scratched his back.

Athena Asamiya asked, "Master, why did they suddenly appear in our courtyard? And my psychic power can sense the evil hearts and killing intent mixed within them."

Chin Gensai nodded, looking at Athena Asamiya with an expression of a promising student.

"They might be Outworlders."

"Outworlders?" Both of them were surprised to hear the term from their master.

Chin Gensai's eyes, hidden by his hair, sharpened. A flicker of memories from his youth seemed to flash in his eyes as he spoke slowly.

"In this world, there are many spaces. Or rather, 'worlds.' Like the legendary Orochi of old."

Athena Asamiya exclaimed in surprise, "Orochi really exists? I remember Kyo and the Three Sacred Treasures family."

Chin Gensai nodded in confirmation. "Yes, you can understand Orochi as an entity from another world, or you can understand it as the Three Sacred Treasures family driving Orochi to another world (sealing it), making it an Outworlder."

"There are many unknown places in this world."

"And this group of people might be from those unknown places, possessing extraordinary power." (Similar to Those from the Distant Land.)

"Really? Why do they feel so weak to me?" Sie Kensou poked his hair with his finger.

Bang!

"Ouch!"

Athena Asamiya, losing her patience, delivered a powerful blow to Sie Kensou.

"Wuwuwu, Athena, you still love me." Sie Kensou, lying on the ground, had hearts in his eyes as two tears streamed down.

Athena Asamiya crossed her arms, ignoring the playful Sie Kensou.

"So, Master, what are your intentions? Having one of them compete with us." Athena Asamiya seemed to vaguely guess her master's thoughts.

"To take a break. It's rare to find someone with such developed telekinesis," Chin Gensai drank more gourd wine and wiped his mouth with his arm. He then said sternly, "I sense a dark power awakening. Orochi's bloodline power is stirring."

"No way, Master, you can sense that too?" Sie Kensou looked incredulous.

Bang!

"Wuwuwuwu. Athena."

Hit again, Sie Kensou teared up and squatted on the ground, drawing circles.

"Then, Master, what about these people?" Athena Asamiya asked, concerned.

Chin Gensai shook his head. "Although their aura of killing is strong, they will not bring destruction to this world." When Chin Gensai first saw Nathan Hawke, he sensed that the latter had no attachment to or desire to conquer this world, realizing they appeared in this world with a purpose, but it would definitely not be to destroy or rule it.

"Mhm, I believe in Master," Athena Asamiya said obediently.

"Heh," Sie Kensou smirked, clearly not believing it.

And so, the days of training went by.

"Max, quick, help me! My game console is out of battery."

"Andrew, quick, help me..."

Watching Sie Kensou become closer and closer to them with each passing day, Athena Asamiya shook her head vigorously, trying to banish the memory of her earlier skepticism.

"Master Chin Genzai, thank you for your hard work this past month." Nathan Hawke, Andrew, and Max all bowed in gratitude.

Chin Genzai accepted their thanks with a nod. "Then, let's prepare to depart."

After packing their belongings, the group got ready to set off for Japan.

Japan, KOF registration area.

"It's the Superpower Team."

"Wow. It's Miss Athena Asamiya."

"Athena Asamiya."

"Athena Asamiya..."

Besides being a fighter, Athena Asamiya was also an incredibly popular idol in Japan.

"Hello, everyone! Hello!" Sie Kensou waved at them.

"Don't block our view of Athena."

"Get lost! Stop blocking my view of Nana-chan."

"..." Dissatisfaction erupted from the crowd towards Sie Kensou.

"Uh." Sie Kensou shrunk back.

Athena Asamiya covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

Athena Asamiya approached the registration desk and handed the invitation letter in her hand to the staff member.

The staff member began to register them, until.

"Huh?" He then looked up at Chin Genzai.

"Master Chin Genzai, you're not participating this time? Then who is Andrew?"

Andrew stepped forward. "That would be me."

The staff member glanced at Andrew with suspicion, then at Chin Genzai, who nodded in confirmation.

"Alright, normally, if you're replacing a team member, you'd have to start from the preliminaries. Since Master Chin Genzai has approved, I'll let you pass."

"Thank you." Athena Asamiya clasped her hands together in a very cute, mischievous gesture.

The staff member's face instantly turned red.

They were staying at the hotel arranged by the event organizers.

Sie Kensou looked at Andrew and asked curiously, "By the way, where did your companions go?" After arriving in Japan, Nathan Hawke and Max had left.

"I don't know either." Andrew shrugged, only knowing that Nathan Hawke had told him to compete well before leaving.

Kusanagi Mansion.

Nathan Hawke and Electro's first stop.

"Do you need something?" Goenitz asked, looking at Nathan Hawke as he entered the Kusanagi Mansion, while teaching Shingo Yabuki.

Goenitz, who was originally hospitable (but broke), had learned that his son had been defeated by a mysterious person and, with the help of Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon, had received timely treatment. After heading to his training grounds, Goenitz had sensed an oppressive atmosphere, like a storm was brewing.

Relying on his instincts as a martial artist, Goenitz felt that these two had a purpose for coming here.

"Hello, Goenitz." Nathan Hawke stated directly, "I need to talk business with you."

"Business?" Goenitz's eyes lit up instantly.

Goenitz immediately instructed Shingo Yabuki, who looked like a curious child, "Quick, Shingo, invite them in."

Sitting cross-legged, Nathan Hawke found kneeling uncomfortable. He looked at the excited Goenitz and said, "I need your blood, Goenitz."

"Hm?"

A palpable killing intent quickly enveloped the entire room.

"Whoa, this, this..." Shingo Yabuki looked at the calm Nathan Hawke, then at Mr. Goenitz, whose face was filled with murderous intent.

"Hahahaha." Goenitz retracted his killing intent and laughed heartily at Nathan Hawke. "You're quite amusing, wanting my blood. Is it for experiments?"

Nathan Hawke nodded. "The price is negotiable. At the same time, if you agree, I can tell you the names of the Hakkeshu, the abilities under the Orochi bloodline, and the impending conspiracy. Your destiny, as the Three Sacred Treasures, is inevitable. Of course, if you want to know more, I will need the blood of all three of you."
