Arriving at the underground arena, Sora and Baki walked in with a beautiful timid girl walking behind them.

Her eyes looked around with obvious fear in them as she looked at the many yelling people and the buff fighters that walked around. Some fighters that walked out of the fighting arena were missing some limbs and others were unconscious with terrible wounds on their body.

Saki was shocked seeing Sora and Baki move around with extreme familiarity. She found it hard to believe that they had been here before. A place where people fought and could even lose limbs.

She covered her mouth with her hand as she followed behind Sora closely with a face full of fright.

"Don't get lost Saki!" Sora grabbed a hold of Saki's hand and pulled her next to himself. Not letting go in case she got lost in the crowd.

Saki didn't mind the handholding, she smiled and happily followed Sora and Baki, forgetting that she was in a terrible place.

Soon, Sora and Baki entered the place where they could prepare to fight. Sora let Saki stay to the side whilst he and Baki got ready.

Sora didn't need to participate in these fights, but he liked having to further refine his martial arts.

He seals his abnormal strength and fights with the strength of an average person. It allows him to fight and further better his martial arts, allowing him to become even more used to using Nirvanic Taichi.

"Don't wanna dirty this shirt..." mumbled Sora, remembering that the shirt he was wearing was a gift from Yuika.

Removing the shirt, Sora revealed his beautifully sculpted body that revealed no flaws. A perfect body with powerful and compact muscles. A body trained to it's utmost limits to bring out it's entire strength.

A body so perfect and fitting well for Sora, allowing him to use his Nirvanic Taichi perfectly. Unlike his past-life body which couldn't be completely perfect because of certain muscles, Sora couldn't practice every single martial art equally to mastery.

Some took longer and some modifications to fit Sora's body.

But now, Sora could use the original martial arts and execute them with such swiftness and beauty!

Saki admired his body from afar, she took out her phone and took a picture of Sora's back. A back which looked so strong and wide that was slowly revealed with a shirt that was coming off.

'Are those tattoos?!'

Once Sora had completely removed his shirt, Saki noticed the two dragon tattoos on his body. She even took notice of a 1 inch long and wide tattoo of a Ferret on his neck.

Ignoring Saki's look of shock, Sora stretched his body out and performed a couple simple moves.

Fwoosh!

Fwuah!

Ping!

Sora's hands flashed through the air and his legs became a blur. He was too fast for Saki to take notice of every single individual strike of Sora's. It shocked her to see Sora move at such shocking speed.

Despite sealing his abnormal physical abilities, Sora was still able to bring out the maximum potential of his body with Martial Arts.

Especially a heaven defying Martial Art like Nirvanic Taichi.

The average punch of an untrained human was 350 pounds. Those who had trained for long periods of time and had reached high levels of strength and skill could usually execute a punching force of over 1,000-1,500 pounds.

Someone really accomplished can reach a punching force of 3,500-4,500 pounds.

However Sora can easily topple those numbers with his Nirvana Taichi and his understanding without the use of his abnormal strength and only the strength of the average person. His punching force reached a staggering 10,000 pounds.

This abnormal punching force as an average human was truly terrifying for anyone who knows his average strength. If Sora added the strength of 10 ox, Sora wouldn't know how afraid the people would be of him.

An ox, on average, would have a strength of 2,000 pounds to carry and pull something heavy. That'd be 20,000 pounds of strength Sora just gained from 10 Ox.

With the increase in strength and adding the strength of his skills and martial arts, Sora's strength of 20,350 had shot up to a shocking 600,000 pounds of punching force!

Any person would instantly die!

Grand masters would lose limbs and last at least 10 moves with Sora in a fight. If they fought using top knot martial arts, or had better proficiency in their martial arts, they could last longer in a fight against Sora. At least last 20 more moves.

Against Legendary Masters, Sora would have a lot of difficulty and would at least lose an arm before guaranteeing a victory.

If what Hayato said was true about the strengths of all the other Legendary Masters, they were some extraordinary figures. The differences of strength between a Grand Master and a Legendary Master was like comparing a pond to the sea.

Sora would only be able to fight well against the weakest Legendary Master. Who might that be? Who knows…

'Can humans even move that fast!' Saki looked at Sora with disbelief as she watched Sora's hands flash through the air before turning to Baki.

Baki did some moves that Saki could still catch a glimpse of, but she could only watch on stupefied as she realized that she can't keep up with his speed. Saki shook her head and turned to look at Sora who at least looked graceful while performing moves she can't see.

"Baki!"

Hearing his name being called, Baki stopped warming up and left. Sora shot him a glance before returning to warming up as he yelled, "Use only what I taught you."

"Yeah yeah," said Baki nonchalantly as he walked to the arena with a smile on his face.

"Aren't you worried about him?"

Saki turned to look at Sora with a worried look after Baki had left. She didn't know the exact level of skill or strength of both Sora and Baki, so she could only believe that they will be getting hurt.

She feared for Baki and Sora's life, especially Sora who pays her and definitely not for another different reason.

Hmph!

( ≧Д≦)

"He can handle himself, don't worry about it," said Sora as he waved his hand.

"But what if his opponent..." Saki continued to look on with worry as she feared for the worst.

Stopping from warming up, Sora looked at Saki with a small smile before saying, "If you don't believe me, then let's go watch his match."

Biting her lips, Saki followed Sora over to where Baki was fighting against his opponent.

Baki's opponent was a rather big and muscular man who practices in an obscure martial art called Platinum Palm. Where one's bare handed palm strikes can leave heavy hand imprints on pure platinum with ease.

Both stood far from each other, Baki's opponent looked at Baki warily since he had heard many rumors about Baki being an amazing and strong fighter. If he wasn't careful, he'd be hurt in an instant and most likely incapacatated.

Ch…

Baki slid one foot forward before using that foot to leap over to the man with a fierce strike.

Flowing through the air, Baki's fist was met against the man's palm.

Bam!

With the clash of both powerful attacks, Baki was flung back easily since he was in the air. The man on the other hand slid back 4 feet, his palm stinging and his bones creaking.

'What a fearsome strike!' Itoh Mabuchi looked at Baki with shock before giving a light smirk and he dashed forward to Baki with newfound confidence.

'His skills are only so-so but his strength is very strong. It's understandable how his enemies had all been defeated so easily!'

Too bad that Mabuchi didn't know that each time Baki fought, he would only fight 3-5 matches to master a 5 moves before switching to different moves. If he knew that Baki was only using him as a training partner to train his skills, he would be greatly devastated.

For a man like Mabuchi to spend 13 years of his life trying to master 7 moves in the Platinum Palm, he'd be crying and cursing the heavens for giving people enviable talent.

Baki quickly got up as he watched Mabuchi run towards him with quick foot steps. With his feet latched onto the ground, Baki widened his back and took on a Bear stance. As soon as he took on the stance, it was as if Baki had become a bear.

Still Bear Claw!

Hugging Wood!

Baki swung both arms down in a fierce manner, his fingers resembling claws. Falling down fast and heavy.

In an instant, both Baki and Mabuchi were right before each other. Baki's hands latched onto Mabuchi's shoulders, his fingers piercing into Mabuchi's flesh. With the strength of a bear, Baki pressed down on Mabuchi, his fingers drilling further into Mabuchi's flesh.

"Argh!" Mabuchi groaned in pain.

He steeled his heart and opened his arms wide. Mabuchi ignored the pain is body was going through as he open his arms wide as if he was going to hug a wide tree.

Quickly, Mabuchi closed his arms and his palms fell hard onto Baki's h.i.p.s.

Pa!

Baki winced a bit at the attack of Mabuchi before summoning up more strength. His back arched as he took on the form of a bear, his breath sped up and his arms bulged as Mabuchi was pressed into the ground.

"Agh!!"

Mabuchi yelled in pain as one of his legs broke under the pressure Baki was placing on him. With eyes still resolute and not willing to back down, Mabuchi slapped at Baki's leg before falling unconscious.

Kacha!

As soon as Mabuchi fell unconscious and his hand touched Baki's leg, a crisp sound of bone breaking resounded within the arena. Before falling unconscious, Mabuchi finally understood something as he struck out his hand. His mind cleared and his hand was akin to a steel plate as it swung heavily onto Baki's leg, breaking it.

"Damn, that Mabuchi wasn't too bad," said Sora with a small smile after seeing Mabuchi's last strike.

Sora rubbed his chin and went into the arena to drag Baki back over to the safe area before settling him down. Looking at Baki's leg that was bent inwardly, Sora could only sigh as he put his hands over the broken bones.

With Saintly Hands, Sora moved the bones and put the bones back in place. With a pale face as Sora fixed his leg, Baki shook his head in dejection. He had let down his guard at the last moment after seeing his enemy lose consciousness causing him to suffer an attack from his falling opponent.

"It's back in place..." mumbled Sora after seeing the leg look normal again. He took out a small white wooden case and opened it, revealing a set of silver needles. Sora grabbed them and inserted them into Baki's leg before using his Ki to help Baki heal faster.

Once the bones had been secured at a certain point where it wouldn't break from just walking, Sora just set Baki to the side and said.

"You shouldn't let down your guard ever. It's always how modern weapons end up killing us martial artists."

There was once a point in Sora's life, when he was a fierce figure who knew nothing but anger, he was shot by a sniper. During this time, Sora had reached a point where he could easily dodge a bullet that was shot from a meter away. If it was a sniper, he could have dodged it with a bit of difficulty.

The sniper thought Sora was dead, so he fled the scene leaving Sora to bleed out. Fortunately he was saved by a woman, who would turn out to be one of his wives.

Ever since then, Sora had always maintained his guard up, never letting it down no matter what. It created some problems at first, but it wasn't long before he had gotten used to keeping his guard up and ignoring the common stuff.

It slowly started to become his second nature.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Today we have Serpent joining us once more!"

Hearing his name, Sora smiled and walked away from Baki. Before leaving, Sora turned to look at Saki with a smile, "Take care of him whilst I fight. It won't take long."

"Serpent is known as Dragon or even Twin Dragons by all of you. Not just because of the tattoos the young man has, but from being extremely ferocious and indomitable. Hiding behind snake skin, the man who is truly a snake, Serpent!"
