Would You Be Willing to Take Me as Your Disciple? / Becoming an Apprentice: Flowing Water Rock-Smashing Fist

His figure vanished in an instant, and the next moment, the Clown monster's head was already flying off.

The Clown monster, whose head had detached from his body, didn't even realize what was happening; when he did, he only saw the world flipped upside down.

And his own headless corpse.

"What's going on...? That's my body?"

Before he could even understand what had happened, his consciousness had completely vanished.

Others might not be able to see it clearly.

But Bang was rushing over, saw the slash clearly, and was so shocked that he stared wide-eyed at it!

Chapter 193 Would you be willing to become my disciple?

That last strike was, in his opinion, too stunning.

Although his body still has some shortcomings and he cannot unleash the full potential of this strike, the perfection of his swordsmanship is no less than that of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, which he honed for half a year to create!

Looking ahead, as the monster's head fell to the ground...

Unable to control his body, Satoru Suzuki collapsed to his knees on the tattered grass, his pale face contorted with heavy breathing.

His muscles felt as if they had been torn apart, and all his blood had been drained away. He could barely move even a single finger.

Despite enduring unimaginable pain, Satoru Suzuki laughed.

I did it!

Meanwhile, Asuramaru within the sword began to release his Demon Power, healing his body.

At the same time, I also felt the amplification effect.

That last slash evaporated one-tenth of the total blood in his body, and his bodily functions doubled, plus the enhancements from the One-Sword Asura and the Draw-Cut.

This strike barely reached the Dragon Level standard!

However, that's not the most crucial point. Asuramaru could clearly sense the changes in Satoru Suzuki's body at that moment.

The body is gradually becoming stronger.

Even though the rate of improvement is extremely slow, it still cannot be ignored.

Seemingly having considered a possibility, Asuramaru couldn't help but ask, "System, is it what I'm thinking?"

Upon hearing this, the system quickly provided an answer.

"Ding! Sword Master Satoru Suzuki has briefly broken through the Limiter Binding Vow, surpassing his own limits. His strength will reach the level of Below Dragon in a very short time!"

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Asuramaru knew that he had guessed correctly.

Satoru Suzuki is probably similar to Garou from the original work; both of them briefly broke their Limiter after exceeding their limits, gaining a short-lived explosive power.

It's Limiter that's turned on once and then off.

Saitama, however, is different.

He's the type whose Limiter, once activated, can't be deactivated.

This is a fundamental difference.

However, Asuramaru couldn't help but smile slightly. "It seems the key to breaking the Limiter lies in whether one can push past their own limits..."

But think about it, back when we faced the Deep Sea King.

He also pushed his limits when possessed, so why didn't he break the Limiter that time?

As I pondered, the system's voice rang in my mind. "[Ding! Detected that the Demon Level monster, Clown, experienced intense negative emotions before his death. Gained 50,000 Emotion Points!]"

A total of 25,000 Demon Power will be Nourishment 50% of the power to the sword master!

As Demon Power surged into his limbs and bones, his body began to grow stronger rapidly, and in just a moment his physical body had broken through to the Mid-Demon Level.

Even the injuries on his body healed on their own.

At this moment, upon feeling the changes in his body, Satoru Suzuki immediately thought to himself, "Thank goodness you're here, Asuramaru."

As he spoke, he stood up from the ground.

Sheathed the sword.

He didn't pay too much attention to the ashamed servants in front of him, after all, he could understand them in the situation just now.

But it's just understanding.

He turned around and quickly walked to the Golden Ball behind him, asking with concern.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Seeing the young man so close at hand, Golden Ball belatedly came to his senses, his eyes wide with shock that lingered for a long time.

"I only have a broken bone, it's nothing serious. On the contrary, your slash was so fast I didn't even see what happened!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

An aged voice followed.

"That last strike was truly remarkable!"

Upon hearing this, the two turned their heads together.

Only then did they see the simply dressed old man, his hands behind his back, his wrinkled face revealing a pair of sharp eyes scrutinizing Satoru Suzuki.

I met the old man.

The Golden Ball, turning around, immediately recognized the newcomer and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You're Silver Fang?! The Association actually sent you to support us?"

But to everyone's surprise, Bang waved his hand amicably, "Just call me Bang, and besides, I wasn't sent by the association..."

As they were talking.

Natalie, who was inside the villa, appeared beside them at some point, and spoke first with a nostalgic look in her eyes.

"I called him."

Upon seeing Natalie's unchanging face again, Bang couldn't help but recall the past, "Natalie, I..."

When faced with the aged appearance of her former love, Natalie's usually cold face showed a rare hint of a smile.

"Back then, you were the one who heartlessly abandoned us, but after all these decades, I've come to terms with it. You don't need to apologize to me."

After saying that, she turned and left.

All that was left for Bang was his back.

Watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance, Bang could only let out a long sigh and turn his head again to examine the young man in front of him.

But it doesn't look nearly as amazing as it did before.

However, he still asked slowly in a calm and aged voice, "What is your name? Do you have a master? Where did you learn your swordsmanship, and what style is it?"

A series of questions followed.

Even the Golden Ball standing nearby perked up its ears in curiosity.

Standing still, Satoru Suzuki answered each question politely and patiently, "Mr. Bang, my name is Satoru Suzuki."

He vaguely evaded the questions that followed.

"I don't have a master, so naturally there's no such thing as a school of thought."

Upon hearing this answer, Bang's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then what about that stab you just gave me?"

Satoru Suzuki answered the question without hesitation.

"I figured that out myself."

I received this answer.

Bang stared in shock, his eyes wide, and asked incredulously, "What?! You actually mastered that sword technique all by yourself?!"

As he spoke, his body trembled slightly with excitement.

This kid has a bright future ahead of him!

Why not take him as a disciple and have him carry on your legacy...?

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed, and her previously somewhat cloudy eyes brightened as she looked at the boy in front of her.

He asked the question in a serious tone.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing the old man's invitation, Satoru Suzuki immediately asked himself, "Asuramaru, should I accept?"

But when she asked, she was met with a curt reply from Asuramaru: "You can handle this yourself!"

There was no response for a long time.

Even the Golden Ball, standing not far away, wanted to step forward and agree on his behalf. Just kidding, the Silver Fang, ranked third in the S-Class, was taking on a disciple.

This is an opportunity that so many people would kill for!

Under Bang's expectant gaze, Satoru Suzuki hesitated for a moment before finally stating his choice.

Chapter 194 Apprenticeship, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist

"I'm willing to become your disciple!" (The main point is an unexpected surprise.)

After careful consideration, Satoru Suzuki agreed.

Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Bang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a kind smile appeared on his lips.

"From this day forward, you will be my second disciple. Report to my temple before noon tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Satoru Suzuki bowed slightly with a serious expression and said, "I understand, Master."

Looking at his polite and well-mannered apprentice, Bang couldn't suppress the smile that was playing on his lips.

His character and talent led them to take him on as a disciple.

Perhaps this is the best decision I've ever made!

"Then see you at the dojo tomorrow."

After giving his final words of advice, Bang waved his hand, turned around, and left just as gracefully.

Golden Ball, who witnessed all of this, excitedly stepped forward and said with genuine joy for him, "Being taken in as a disciple by Silver Fang, it seems you will soon become an S-rank hero."

"Of course I, as the senior, should treat everyone to something like this!"

"You really don't need to spend any money."

Satoru Suzuki wanted to refuse.

But Golden Ball retorted righteously, "Without you, I might be dead by now. What's wrong with treating everyone to dinner? I'm paying tonight!"

For the first time, Satoru Suzuki experienced firsthand what it meant to be unable to refuse such a kind invitation, and had no choice but to agree.

But before the two left.

The Hero Association's support arrived late, and it turned out to be none other than the A-Class hero, Spring Mustachio.

After seeing that the two had resolved the issue.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also friends with Golden Ball, and the three of them left the manor together.

Asuramaru in the sword is also quite curious about the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist; it would be even better if Satoru Suzuki could learn it.

As for enabling him to quickly improve his strength?

Let's forget about it then.

Asuramaru no longer values his strength that much, since Sonic is enough to improve his abilities.

Once Boros arrives, it will be enough to have him take Saitama with him onto the spaceship.

The next day, early morning.
