Tokyo Haneda International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Neon, and one of the top ten international airports in the world, was surprisingly quiet in one of its departure halls.
Thousands of Shinshinkai members, dressed in uniform white martial arts attire, stood in neat rows, forming a passage from the security checkpoint all the way to outside the departure hall.
Their expressions were solemn, and their gazes firm.
Doppo Orochi stood at the very front of the line, with Katsumi and Baki beside him. Doppo and Katsumi were also dressed in white martial arts attire, with sashes of the highest Shinshinkai rank tied around their waists.
"Allen-kun, no matter where you go, let us know, and millions of Shinshinkai members worldwide will provide you with assistance." Doppo Orochi's voice was exceptionally clear in the silent hall.
Allen, wearing a simple white hoodie, carrying a shoulder bag, and pulling a black suitcase, walked slowly under everyone's gaze.
He looked at the grand scene and felt a headache coming on.
"Are we really not affecting others by doing this? This is too exaggerated." Allen looked at the dense crowd in front of him, shaking his head helplessly. This made him feel like a gang boss.
Mitsunari Tokugawa stepped forward with a smile at this moment: "Allen-kun, don't worry, this departure hall has been booked by me in advance. It will reopen after you leave."
Kaiou Retsu emerged from the crowd, holding an exquisite wooden box: "Allen, this is a farewell gift for you."
Allen took the wooden box with both hands, opened it, and saw a green jade pendant inside, engraved with four large characters: 'Martial Arts Without Borders'.
"This is my token. Carrying it will make traveling in the Chinese Martial Arts world much more convenient." Kaiou Retsu said solemnly.
After speaking, Kaiou Retsu, holding Dorian who was foolishly following him and only knew how to eat lollipops, retreated to the back.
Baki stepped forward and patted Allen's shoulder: "Next time we meet, I will definitely be stronger."
"I'm waiting." Allen responded with a smile.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted in the hall. Matsumoto, the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Police Department, along with Kondo and dozens of senior police officers, walked quickly, each holding flowers.
"Consultant Lin, this is the sentiment of all colleagues at the Tokyo Police Department." Matsumoto handed an exquisite medal to Allen.
"This is an honorary consultant medal for the Special Operations Group, recognized by police worldwide. Thank you for apprehending two death row inmates for the people of Tokyo." After speaking, Matsumoto and the others bowed to Allen.
Allen took the medal with both hands and found his name and number engraved on it.
Katsumi Orochi also stepped forward at this moment and handed a black sash to Allen.
Allen took the black sash and found the words 'Shinshinkai Vice President' embroidered inside with gold thread. He looked up in surprise, and the latter nodded solemnly.
"This is the unanimous decision of all Shinshinkai members." Doppo Orochi's voice echoed in the spacious departure hall.
"From today onwards, you are the Vice President of Shinshinkai, and millions of disciples worldwide will obey your command!"
All Shinshinkai members in the entire departure hall simultaneously knelt on one knee, clenched their right fists to their left chests, and shouted in unison: "Farewell, Vice President!"
The sound waves made the airport glass buzz. Allen looked at the kneeling crowd and sighed helplessly: "You guys are making me feel embarrassed."
Mitsunari Tokugawa stepped forward and handed him a black gold card: "This is the highest-level black card of the Tokugawa Zaibatsu, valid worldwide, with no upper limit. All of Allen-kun's expenses will be borne by the Tokugawa family."
"This…" Allen was about to decline, but Mitsunari Tokugawa had already slipped the card into his pocket.
"Don't refuse an old man's good intentions." Mitsunari Tokugawa smiled and patted Allen.
"Consider it a small contribution I'm making to the fighting world. I look forward to your future performance, Allen-kun."
The boarding announcement sounded over the broadcast. Allen glanced at his phone: "It's time. I'm leaving now. See you at the Great Raitai Tournament."
Doppo Orochi took a step forward: "All Shinshinkai members, farewell to the Vice President!"
Thousands of Shinshinkai members uniformly made way, forming a passage from the security checkpoint all the way to the boarding gate.
Allen, dragging his suitcase, waved to everyone, then turned and left.
As he passed each row of Shinshinkai members, they would bow deeply and shout in unison: "Have a safe journey, Vice President!"
This spectacular scene naturally attracted other travelers, who took out their phones to take pictures.
"Is that young man some kind of gang boss? Does he even have a private plane and special escorts?"
One local Tokyoite recognized Allen and exclaimed: "Isn't that the Chinese ultimate weapon mentioned in the news? Has the Neon government run out of money to pay for his employment?"
Upon reaching the boarding gate, Allen turned to look at the people seeing him off.
Baki's eyes burned with fighting spirit, Kaiou Retsu's gaze was filled with anticipation, Mitsunari Tokugawa's eyes held a hint of reluctance, and the Orochi father and son had solemn expressions. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep emotion.
"Everyone, see you at the Great Raitai Tournament!" Allen waved to them again, then turned and walked into the boarding passage.
"Allen!" Kaiou Retsu suddenly shouted.
"If you encounter any difficulties in China, contact us anytime!"
Allen turned and gave an OK gesture with his right hand to everyone, then disappeared at the end of the passage.
After the plane took off, Doppo Orochi looked at the gradually receding flight and said softly: "He will definitely be someone who changes the landscape of the martial arts world."
"Yes." Kaiou Retsu nodded.
"I have a feeling that next time we meet, he will bring us an even bigger surprise."
Outside Tokyo Haneda International Airport, thousands of Shinshinkai members lined up and departed. This grand farewell ceremony became a hot topic on the streets of Tokyo… Allen sat by the window on the plane, looking at the gradually shrinking Tokyo through the window. He felt a hint of reluctance in his heart, but it was quickly overshadowed by nostalgia for his hometown.
Although he didn't encounter Yujiro in Tokyo this time, coming to China to train with Kaioh Kaku was also a good choice.
"Sir, would you like any drinks?" The flight attendant pushed the cart over, a sweet smile on her face.
This young man in front of her was someone who could book an entire departure hall, so his identity must be extraordinary. If she could curry favor with him, even a little something casually dropped from his fingers would be enough for a lifetime of wealth and glory.
"Mineral water is fine, thank you." Allen took the bottle, took a sip, and then ignored the flight attendant.
Seeing this, the flight attendant could only push her cart away. This young man was not interested in her, so it was better not to be shameless. It would be bad if she angered him.
Allen closed his eyes, feeling the surging power within him. The evolution of Hanma Blood had elevated his physical capabilities to a whole new level.
But he believed this was far from enough. He had some power, but not enough skill.
Without perfect technique, he couldn't be considered an ultimate being. Allen pursued becoming an omniscient and omnipotent ultimate being.
Chinese Martial Arts are profound and extensive. On this training journey, he hoped to make up for his technical deficiencies. He wanted to perfectly integrate power and technique.
