"...Fuck, it's so messy and noisy, what a bunch of idiots."
Oh yes, there is also the “devil” Wu Lei’an, who seemed very unhappy because he fell in the semi-finals and failed to meet Gong Yang Zhen in the finals. At this moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, with muscles bulging under his black vest, and he looked completely different from the ordinary spectators next to him.
Unconsciously, in these short five days of the journey, these relatively innocent fighters who simply wanted to determine the "strongest" had unknowingly established a subtle friendship with each other compared to the Kengankai members who had different thoughts and ambitions.
Friends? Rivals? They all seem to have some meaning, but they are more like comrades on the path of seeking truth.
"...But Juu Kisara hasn't woken up yet. He seems to be seriously injured. It's a pity that he has to miss the most exciting battle."
"Mr. Guan Lin still cares so much about Mr. Ten Demon Snake."
"——After all, he was the guy who defeated me. Well, but now there's another one... Eh? Look over there!"
As they were chatting, the sharp-eyed Guan Linchun seemed to have suddenly seen something, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he made a startled sound.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and at the location where his finger pointed, a figure had unknowingly appeared from the left contestant entrance passage.
"Here he is! It's him! He's here!"
"In the 31st and final match of this elimination tournament, the first contestant appeared!"
It was already the last match, and both players were no strangers to each other. Katara Shoka no longer exercised the authority of announcer, leaving the timing of going on the court to the two players.
The one who took the lead and entered the arena first was the master of the generation - Kuroki Gensai!
Since entering the knockout round, he has been advancing smoothly with a big advantage, and he did not show any signs of serious injury or fatigue until the final stage. The only remaining traces of battle that could be seen on Kuroki Gensai's body were slight scratches and bruises and a slightly damaged black uniform.
"Here, here! Master Kuroki!"
Seeing the man with a posture like a lion, who was intimidating without even getting angry, the manager immediately exclaimed.
Okubo Naoya, who was standing next to him, also had a strange look on his face: "...You've already called me master? Li Ren, you're amazing. I just said it casually that day, but I didn't expect you to really become my disciple."
"What's even more outrageous is that Kuroki just said 'I have no intention of accepting you as a disciple' and ended it. Not only did he not express any strong opposition, he actually took you with him to give him guidance?"
Hearing this, Bingshi Ryo also interjected: "Could it be that a fool has good fortune? He actually got to worship such a master as a teacher..."
"Ah? Speak to me with more respect. How dare you call Master Kuroki a fool? Believe it or not, I will beat you up, bastard."
"…Fuck, I mean you, idiot."
"——Himero, I'm going to kill you!!!"
There was a commotion here, but the situation on the field had already changed, and quietly, the same black shadow had appeared in the other side's entrance passage.
Chapter 152: First Victory
After Kuroki Gensai came on stage, another contestant also revealed his true appearance under the spotlight!
"Both of them have entered!"
At this moment, even someone with a big heart like Katara Meika couldn't help but look a little shaken, and her hands holding the microphone were shaking slightly from squeezing too hard.
"On one side is the 'magic spear' who buried the 'last descendant of the taboo' Wu Lei'an with his own hands, Kuroki Gensai!"
"The other side is the 'Heavenly Wolf', Gong Yang Zhen, who completely defeated the 'Tang-Destroying Fang' Gana-Gao!"
"For a low-profile strong man like this to advance to the finals as the final fighter, this unexpected result is probably unique in the 300-year history of Kengankai!"
"And now——"
"The 'strongest' of Kengankai, the new king of the fighting world, will be decided between these two!"
Amidst the shouting at the top of their lungs, the two opponents with a huge age gap have closed the gap and are standing opposite each other within one meter. Each of them has a might and oppression that cannot be ignored, and each of them is so strong and brave that one cannot underestimate him.
There is no doubt that this will be the most exciting and exciting battle since the knockout round!
At this moment, Guan Linchun, who was sitting in the spectator seats, felt Gong Yang Zhen's momentum, which was completely different from the previous few games, and suddenly revealed a slightly solemn expression.
If before that guy gave people the feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city and giving people a sense of impending storm, now from the dark clouds in the sky burst out the thunder that shook people's hearts!
"... That feeling of oppression, and that feeling... Damn, it turns out that this 'Tianlang' kid has rarely fought seriously before."
The "Thai Fighting God" Gaolang Wensawad, who had a plaster cast on his shoulder, nodded slightly: "Perhaps today, he will show his true 'fangs'."
................................................
The scenes outside the arena no longer had anything to do with the two people in the arena, because they had already been caught up in an early game at this moment.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is as calm as a rock, but what is going on with the suffocating tension in this scene?
The answer is the collision of "intention" and the confrontation of "multiple insights"!
Before the game started, the two sides had already started to fight! They were both the ones who had the upper hand. The one who could see the opponent's "moment of intention" more deeply would be able to seize the initiative!
"...What an incredible uncle."
At this moment, Gong Yang Zhen felt the "sense of oppression" from his opponent for the first time.
Even though he was a guy who couldn't even be ranked in the monster-filled Kengan Club in terms of physique, and was one or two centimeters shorter than himself, he gave people the feeling that he was as heavy as a mountain, as if nothing could shake him.
And his opponents may feel the same way.
"The momentum has been fully revealed without any disguise."
"——It's as it should be. You are a son of heaven, and I, Hei Mu Xuan Zhai, have been seeking defeat for many years. How can I be a hidden opponent of you?"
There were wrinkles on his face left by the years, but he was more energetic than a young man. Kuroki Gensai's eyes seemed to be shining - the long-lost blood was boiling in his body!
In this place that is about to become a Shura battlefield, there is still a "mortal" existing.
"You two, please get ready."
The Kengankai referee, Tamashiro Momosaji, was not the most experienced nor the most capable, but this time he had the honor of personally presiding over this legendary fight. Under the terrifying pressure in the arena, this man remembered the words of his predecessors.
What words?
——The so-called "referees" are the ones who upgrade "fighting" to "competition". This is their duty and mission.
"...Before this final match begins, I have a few words to say."
"In fact, in Kengan fighting, as long as there are no violations such as carrying weapons without permission, the role of the referee will be minimal. All we can do is announce the start and end of the match."
"But even so, I, Tian Cheng Bai Zuozhi, will do my best to protect the life and safety of every player... Then let me witness it to the end from this closest distance - as a representative of the 100,000 spectators in this Kengan Dome!"
"Now I declare that the game begins!!!"
After patiently listening to the referee's heartfelt words and nodding his head in greeting, the first person to respond after the announcement was made was—
"Tian Lang" Gong Yang Zhen! Take the initiative to attack again!
"Shua!——"
The speed was unprecedented, as fast as lightning! For the first time, Gong Yangzhen showed such an instant burst. He twisted his body, raised his shoulder, and swung a straight punch to the face of Kuroki Gensai!
Just this one punch can separate the ordinary strong men from the real top ones in the Fist Association!
And there is no doubt... Kuroki Gensai is the top of the top! With the "first of the first", it is impossible for him to be hit at the beginning of the game -
"Snapped!--"
"How, how could this happen?!"
The Kuroki player who put on a magnificent dodge show in every match, often dodging into a safe area before his opponent attacks, actually——
“I was caught right away ahhhhhhh!!!”
The live commentator Katahara Tsaoka let out a surprised sound.
Let's go back to about two seconds ago.
Facing the plain straight punch coming at him, Kuroki Gensai's eyes fixed, but somehow they were a beat slower as if the frame rate was not enough, barely noticeable, but enough to be fatal between masters!
It seemed that he wanted to dodge and avoid the attack temporarily, but he missed the best opportunity after all and could only hold on!
Fortunately, his own defense technique was strong, and at the critical moment he used the "upper level defense" to deflect the straight punch that caused a violent wave of air, and finally he escaped without any danger.
But no matter how you look at this matter, it seems wrong.
"——That doesn't make sense... Both are well-rounded players, with top-notch mental, physical, and technical skills. If we have to make a distinction, 'Magic Spear' is the type that focuses more on 'technical skills', while 'Sirloin'... this guy has excellent fighting skills and a physical fitness that overpowers 'Tiger' and 'Monster', so he focuses more on 'physique'."
"As far as 'skill' is concerned, I think 'Magic Spear' is still superior. According to common sense, it shouldn't be decided to take the heavy blow of 'Heavenly Wolf' at the beginning. What's going on?"
Listening to Okubo Naoya's whispered analysis, Kano pinched his chin and looked thoughtful.
As one of only three contestants who had comprehended the realm of "the first of the first", he could see some clues.
No...it's not 'decided to eat hard'.
——But ‘being forced to eat’.
"There was indeed a moment when I almost turned into a 'dead object'... It seems that my failure to read your 'intention' during the fight the day before yesterday was not an illusion. Ram, you are really good at hiding. Have you been planning for the finals since the quarterfinals?"
As far as he could see, Gong Yang Zhen was still moving.
"Shuashuashua!!!——"
He took advantage of the situation and did not show any mercy. Seeing Kuroki Gensai enter a defensive battle, he immediately rushed forward. While retracting his fist, the boxer's most powerful weapon - the fast jab was already like raindrops, still attacking the opponent's weathered face!
With Gaolang Wensawad's physical fitness and boxing skills, he can throw out seven or eight jabs in the instant of the previous step without reducing the speed and damage. How can Gong Yang Zhen not do it?
At this moment, Gong Yang Zhen threw thirteen jabs that were faster and heavier than the ones thrown by the “Thai Fighting God”!
however--
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour has been fully charged. 】
A heart is rising, but it seems to come a little late.
After the first straight punch that seemed to catch Kuroki Gensai off guard, this martial arts master seemed to have adjusted himself very quickly and demonstrated his exquisite predictive ability again.
At this moment, facing the fist shadows that were coming straight at his face and seemed to turn into streams of light, his upper body tilted up and down, rising and falling, but his center of gravity was always stable. It was obviously just a very small movement, but it made sure that all the opponent's attacks were destined to fall into the air before they were even launched.
In this situation, Katara Shoka, who was in the live commentary booth, even doubted for a moment whether she had fed Gong Yang Zhen a mouthful of poisonous milk.
How come the Kuroki contestant turned back into a slippery loach just after he finished speaking?
As long as the two bodies did not touch each other for even a moment, the heart-shaped seal would not be able to be detonated.
If the jab doesn't work, there's no need to keep swinging it in the air. Gong Yang Zhen adjusts his stance and immediately uses the most classic six-point strike combination to suppress the opponent's firepower.
And in this moment of opportunity, there is no way Kuroki Gensai would let him go.
"Ho!"
He gathered strength in his body and moved his hands as fast as lightning. In the reaction time of just a few tenths of a second, Hei Mu Xuan Zhai suddenly shouted, not only to shock the opponent's mind, but also to concentrate his own strength - he forced out his own unique skill!
Putting the palms together is called the Penetrating Hand. It is the highest masterpiece obtained after the unique training of "Weird Arm Style" which has tempered the hands and feet thousands of times. The "Magic Spear" that can penetrate anything is here. Please enjoy it!
In a battle of this level, there is no room for holding back. The moment a move is made, murderous intent is overflowing. Hei Mu Xuan Zhai's "magic spear" is pointed directly at Gong Yang Zhen's heart!
However, his opponent is unlikely to be the kind of small-time character who can be knocked down in an instant.
In a flash, he noticed this hidden killing move, and while his hand was moving, Gong Yang Zhen's left hand had already cut off to defend, and at the same time, his right hand swung out again, aiming directly at the enemy's throat.
The Chinese style of boxing, which combines attack and defense, is nothing more than this.
"Shua!——"
Seeing that there was no way out, he finally pushed off the ground with his front feet to create some distance. Hei Mu Xuan Zhai kept his breath steady and looked at the young man in front of him with a feeling of deep emotion.
The young are to be feared. Really, the young are to be feared.
Gong Yang Zhen looked at Hei Mu Xuan Zhai who had instantly distanced himself from him and did not pursue him further. A smile of joy appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that I'm the first to win, uncle."
This of course refers to the heavy punch at the beginning that the opponent couldn't dodge in time.
"..."
With his front paws lightly touching the ground, he faced the enemy in a "cat-foot standing" stance, but Kuroki Gensai remained unmoved and did not seem to be shaken at all.
Then the problem is coming.
At this critical moment, how did Gong Yang Zhen avoid Hei Mu Xuan Zhai's perception?
Chapter 153: Martial Arts
"——Why does everyone seem so surprised?"
At one place, Wu Garuda and Taoi Satsuki sat at the same table, and next to them was Elena Robinson, the lovely sister of "The Killing Priest" Mogi Robinson, who had made an appointment to watch the finals together.
Although she had no martial arts background and had never been able to fully understand the complex game between fighters, the intensive offensive and defensive exchanges between "Magic Spear" Hei Mu Xuan Zhai and "Heavenly Wolf" Gong Yang Zhen were enough for even an outsider like her to feel the danger.
At this moment, the beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes watched the two sides stop fighting and distance themselves from each other, and her heartbeat slowed down a little.
After coming to his senses, he realized that he had been holding his breath without knowing when. He quickly let out a long breath and asked the question in his mind: "Did those two fighters do anything strange?"
