“That day was the eve of my departure abroad to participate in the World Championships.”

“My family held a farewell banquet for me. Everyone was happy and proud of me.”

“My cousin just got drunk and said something with a hint of jealousy.”

“I don't know why, but I suddenly became very angry, as if my whole body was ignited by rage.”

“My heart beat faster and faster, my blood pressure rose higher and higher, and the sides of my forehead throbbed, as if a monster hidden deep within my body was about to burst out!”

“Then, I truly merged with that monster…”

Fang Cheng sat on the stool, looking solemn, listening to Goro Majima recount the past.

This was also the first time Goro Majima had demonstrated his so-called “transformation.”

The berserk state would cause a person to completely lose their mind, leaving only a desire for destruction like a wild beast.

In this accident, he accidentally severely injured his cousin, leaving him on the verge of death, and also harmed several relatives and friends who tried to dissuade him.

Fang Cheng could imagine how chaotic and tragic the scene was at that time.

He himself had also slowly exhausted “Berserk Goro Majima's” stamina through an hour-long fierce battle.

Then, using a strangulation technique to suffocate him into unconsciousness, he successfully subdued him.

“How did you finally regain your sanity?”

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

“It was a distinguished guest invited by my grandfather who helped.”

Goro Majima replied.

“At that time, my mind was in chaos, and I couldn't remember how I was defeated.”

“When I woke up, I was like this, lying on a hospital bed unable to move…”

As he spoke, Goro Majima let out a self-deprecating bitter laugh.

“Being a useless person for more than two months also gave me a long-lost peace, and I thought of a way to alleviate the symptoms.”

“As long as I am forcibly restrained or exhausted when I transform and go berserk, and I fall unconscious, that monster will lie dormant for a long time.”

“That way, I can catch my breath a little and temporarily be a normal person again…”

Listening to Goro Majima's words of finding joy in suffering, Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked:

“Didn't you go to the people at the pharmaceutical company?”

Seemingly mixed with regret, hatred, fear, or even timidity?

Choi Soo-young finished translating for her fiancé and added:

“Mr. Fang, those people have mysterious origins and are not on the same social level as us. Some things are too serious, but they will only cause more trouble.”

Fang Cheng nodded, suppressing his doubts.

Unable to stay in Dongying, Goro Majima listened to his grandfather's advice and decided to go to Xia Country to find a way to completely cure his stubborn illness.

Because Xia Country's martial arts philosophy pays more attention to self-cultivation, disease prevention, and longevity than other fighting schools, pursuing peace and tranquility of the soul.

It's a pity that after traveling around and seeking out famous teachers, he didn't find a real expert.

On the contrary, as time went by, his condition began to recur and gradually worsened.

Goro Majima could feel that the monster had returned.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to hold on, he found the Global Elite Fighting Club.

On the one hand, he vented his manic emotions and released the pressure in his heart by beating up sparring partners here.

On the other hand, he waited for Zheng Haokang to arrive, wanting to use the fists of this world-class boxing champion to beat himself hard, so as to once again drive back the monster in his heart.

After that, seeing Fang Cheng with his extraordinary performance, he shifted his target to him.

“Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, it was my fault for putting you in danger.”

Goro Majima struggled, trying to get up.

Seeing this, Choi Soo-young quickly held him down with both hands.

Seeing that his opponent's mental state seemed to have completely returned to normal, and listening to his sincere words of apology.

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment, carefully considering his words, and responded:

“Mr. Majima, in fact, if you want to restrain the monster in your heart, you don't necessarily need to find an external opponent. Perhaps you can try to treat yourself as a real opponent.”

“My heart used to be full of various negative emotions, but every time I challenged the limits of my body, these negative emotions became the nourishment to help me overcome difficulties and reach another peak…”

“This is the wonderful thing about human beings. When your mental willpower is sufficient, you can often exert potential that you can't even imagine, but when you surrender and give up in your mind, you may not even be able to exert 10% of your usual strength…”

Fang Cheng said slowly, trying to express in words the spiritual insights he had gained from doing pull-ups in the heavy rain.

Goro Majima frowned in thought, seemingly enlightened:

“My grandfather also told me that practicing martial arts is not only to temper your muscles and bones and strengthen yourself, but also a kind of spiritual self-shaping.”

“The mental state you entered, as far as I know, explained by the Xia Country martial arts philosophy, should be accidentally touching the realm of harmony between man and nature.”

Fang Cheng smiled when he heard this, and remembering the martial arts novels he had read in his previous life, he also cooperated and said:

“If your crazy state is described in Xia Country language, it is actually called 'going crazy,' and you need to put more effort into tempering your willpower.”

The two smiled at each other.

As former opponents, after talking about martial arts topics, they had common interests, and their relationship became much more harmonious.

Goro Majima also asked Choi Soo-young to take out a photo hidden in her wallet and hand it to Fang Cheng to look at.

The picture showed a delicate-looking, thin boy.

According to Goro Majima himself, this was a photo of him when he participated in the competition for the first time at the age of fifteen.

Fang Cheng gave his evaluation of this, saying that other than not being handsome enough, he looked quite normal in other aspects.

Goro Majima's bitter smile on his face looked even more ugly when he heard this.

Although the two had only known each other for a short time and needed to communicate through translation, they chatted for nearly an hour without realizing it because of their shared interests.

Choi Soo-young couldn't bear it any longer and forcibly ordered her fiancé to rest well before ending the conversation.

Fang Cheng looked up at the window, and it was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye.

He wished Goro Majima a speedy recovery and promised to visit him again in a few days to continue discussing martial arts issues together.

Walking out of the hospital gate.

Fang Cheng recalled the secrets revealed by Goro Majima, and his thoughts kept surging.

He could vaguely clear away a little of the fog shrouded in this world, but he couldn't fully peek into the scene.

Looking at the slightly hazy sky, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

If he could learn Dongying language, it would be more fluent and convenient to communicate with each other, and he should be able to obtain more useful information.

Perhaps, he could also master a new skill because of this.

With this thought in mind, Fang Cheng opened the panel.

Looking at the strengthening reward for the “Cooking” skill that was just upgraded this morning.

[Knife Flower, can enhance finger dexterity and is good at using various sophisticated knife skills]

If it is replaced with a foreign language skill, what kind of special strengthening effect will it have?

While fantasizing, Fang Cheng suddenly had a strange touch.

It was as if at this moment, there was a pair of eyes secretly observing him from behind.

He couldn't help but look back.

The corner of his eye only caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the window of the hospital building.
