"Back off! Guan Lin, back off! The game hasn't started yet! Follow my orders!"
"Yes Yes."
"Alright, both teams please take your positions!"
Under the watchful eyes of the referee who was in very strict control, Guan Linchun swallowed the unfinished words. He could only shrug casually and stepped back.
Still looks quite relaxed.
At the same time, the "tiger" Wakatsuki Bushi, who had a close personal relationship with him, had a heavy expression on his face in the stands.
"Look at that face paint and this opening act... Guan, are you going to start 'performing' again?"
"I would definitely applaud you...if this opponent was someone else."
"But this time, the opponent is not of that level... If you don't fight for the purpose of 'survival', you might really die."
——How could I not know?
He looked cheerful on his face, but at the same time, Guan Linchun's heart sank slightly.
In terms of strength, the guy who could defeat "Floating Cloud" is definitely top-notch. If I had known earlier, he would be an annoying opponent that even I would have no idea how to deal with.
There is no blind spot in his heart, and he appears calm and unperturbed when faced with provocation.
...I don't see any flaws. It looks like it will be a fierce battle.
but.
"——That's good. What I want is a fierce battle."
"If it wasn't an opponent that I had to use all my wisdom and courage to defeat, how could I have put on such a thrilling and wonderful show with him?"
"Then come on, Sirius, dance with me!"
As the referee waved his hand and said, "The game begins—"
The battle is about to break out!
..............................
As the psychological suggestion to restrain hostility and murderous intent gradually lifted, Gong Yang Zhen's momentum changed again.
If it was a peerless sword that had been hidden but never unleashed before, it now feels more like an active underwater volcano that may erupt at any time!
All the heat and destructive power are obscured by the dark sea, but with the slightest provocation, everything will be turned upside down!
Guan Linchun in front of him felt the strong aura that seemed to be oppressing him from a higher level, in the identity of another higher creature.
This made his muscles tense again and again, and a little cold sweat appeared on his body.
In contrast, the smile on his face became more and more ferocious.
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour has been fully charged. 】
The prompt sound from the Fighting Spirit Arena was like a horn announcing the start of war, causing Gong Yangzhen's originally cooled body to slowly heat up.
At this moment, looking at the other party's arrogant posture, he felt a strange feeling.
"Although I've seen this guy's chaotic fighting style in comics before, it still seems outrageous when I see it in person."
"This guy—he's got flaws all over his body."
Guan Linchun——Belongs to Super Neon Wrestling and is an active legendary wrestler.
Because of his deep love for this profession, this man brought the fighting style of wrestling, which is more like a grand performance than a fight, into Kengan fighting.
Fists, knuckles, knives, sticks...
In the eyes of this wrestler, he has the obligation to face all forms of attack head-on and overcome them all!
He left the right to resolve and escape pain to his opponents. His seemingly merciful behavior was more terrifying and terrible in the eyes of the losers who were crushed by his amazing strength and unparalleled resistance than a billion masters of martial arts!
This is a feeling of helplessness and despair where one has tried every possible means to win, but is still powerless to turn the situation around.
But will his opponent now exit the game in disgrace like those guys who were defeated physically and mentally?
"……Ah."
At this moment, Gong Yang suddenly revealed a crazy smile, which was captured by the camera in the arena and projected onto the big screen. It looked as creepy as a demon.
"Wrestling? It seems interesting. Can I try it, too?"
"...?"
Amid people's different reactions, some were confused, some were cursing, and some were cheering loudly, Gong Yang Zhen also abandoned all fighting postures and walked towards Guan Linchun with his eyes slightly wide open without any precautions.
"you……"
"One punch - let me punch you first, Mr. Guan Lin."
Chapter 112: The Final Move is Here
Under Guan Linchun's somewhat puzzled gaze, Gong Yangzhen walked up to him like a student on an outing.
Following that, under the watchful eyes of the referee with a little sweat on his forehead, and under the attentive observation of the resident commentator Katara Shoka, the whole process began.
In full view.
One punch.
It's just one punch, not the half-step punch of Chinese boxing, or the swing and straight punch of boxing.
There was no stepping, no kicking, no fighting posture or boxing stance. Gong Yang Zhen just stood casually on the ground of the arena, with one hand hanging naturally and relaxedly.
The other hand slowly rose up, like a naughty kid in kindergarten who knew no martial arts and was waving his fist around randomly, and he threw a punch towards Guan Linchun's chest.
There was no speed, no grand momentum, it could even be said to be slow, but the punches were clearly visible.
"..."
Veins popped out on Guan Linchun's forehead, and then he revealed a ferocious smile.
——Is this a prank? Or is it an expression of contempt?
In any case, you can easily arouse the audience's emotions. Maybe you are suitable for our Super Neon Wrestling.
but.
"I'm sorry, I have to take over the stage you warmed up!"
Perhaps he had incredible strength, but even so, a random punch from this posture would not cause any harm to him.
Of course, even if the opponent was fully serious and tried to deliver a fatal punch, Guan Linchun's choice would be the same.
That is--
Take all the attacks and then leap over them!
At this moment, Guan Linchun clenched his fists and put his hands on his waist, making the action of a superhero standing firmly on the ground, and let the opponent punch him. At the same time, he was already thinking about how to fight back next -
"Well?!"
“Bang!!!—”
It was clearly just a light punch, but it made a dull sound when it hit Guan Linchun's hardened muscles! The huge impact force made the wrestling giant's eyes widen, and the whole person was pushed back half a meter, and his feet plowed two deep marks on the ground!
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour has taken effect, your maximum health has increased. ]
Putting his fist back in place, Gong Yangzhen looked at the big man in front of him who seemed to be in pain and chuckled, "Hey, stop acting, uncle. 'Wrestlers are good at acting', right?"
“…Oh my, I was discovered.”
Although it was not insignificant, it was definitely within the tolerable range. Guan Linchun's upper body, which was bent, suddenly straightened up again, and then he made a strange expression with crooked eyes and a slanted mouth towards Gong Yang.
——It shouldn’t be like this.
Now that its maximum health is approaching 20,000, each of Gong Yang Zhen's "Giant Devouring" has a power close to that of "Tiger's" special skill "Core Explosion".
Of course, the punch just now was thrown casually, and most of the force was converted into pure thrust, but it should not have left an ordinary person unscathed.
However, Guan Linchun was fine. Why?
The answer is the wrestler's Uebutsu!
Due to the working characteristics of professional wrestling, techniques such as taking the initiative to improve the body's ability to withstand blows are compulsory courses for almost all wrestlers. It is knowledge that must be ingrained into the instinct!
As a leader among them, Guan Linchun's body-receiving skills can be said to be the culmination of all. No, it is more than that -
"Hehe... After attacking with such great force, are your hands going a little numb, bro?"
"..."
It turned out to be the case.
Feeling the inexplicable recoil force coming back to his wrist, bringing a slight numbness, Gong Yang Zhen casually shook his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.
...This is the experience that those guys who have been hit by steel have had.
——Counterattack and receive injury!
Ordinary defensive techniques are simply a means of defense that allows wrestlers to avoid being injured as much as possible from their opponent's powerful offensive.
However, this man's body-receiving skills are different! He defends and attacks... When the opponent's attack arrives, he uses the expansion and contraction of muscles to avoid the best hitting point, and uses the power of the attack to reversely destroy the opponent's attack posture.
Using the opponent's force to hurt him, this is Guan Linchun's unique skill - counter-injury!
If an ordinary person put all his strength into a punch, but was hit back and injured by the blow, he would at least suffer a wrist sprain, and in severe cases, even a fracture or bone.
Of course, that's ordinary people.
How could Gong Yang Zhen be an ordinary person?
"Use my power to counterattack me... Interesting move. Well, it's really necessary to experience the new moves that you have never seen before. It's like opening a blind box. Each one has an unexpected surprise."
"——But it's no longer new after you've experienced it once. Counterattack? A body-piercing hand or joint-breaking technique is enough to break it."
[Go Wherever You Want (Passive) is in effect, you recover of your maximum health per second. 】
[Extra basic health regeneration is in effect. (Source: Heart of Steel, Guardian Horn)]
The numbness in his wrist disappeared in a flash. He clenched his fist and then put his hand down again. Then, under Guan Linchun's somewhat confused gaze, Gong Yang Zhen made the same move as the other party.
——Put your hands on your hips and wait for the attack to come.
[Heart of Steel - Passive - Huge Devour. Current target is cooling down. Remaining cooling time: seconds.]
"Take every hit and then submit your opponent. That's professional wrestling, right?"
"—Come on, wrestle."
“Sirius” has invited you to wrestle, YES or yes?
After a slight sluggish moment, Guan Linchun's answer was -
"……laugh."
YES, YES, YES…
YES!!!
What a lovable boy——I have always wanted to perform a wrestling match on a stage like Kengankai!!!
"Shua!——"
There was a sharp sound like a knife cutting through the air. Guan Linchun laughed wildly and swung a fierce hand knife attack from inside to outside.
Reverse horizontal hand knife!
........................
This was probably the strangest game since the start of the season.
It was clearly a fighting game in which all the entrepreneurs’ desire for power was at stake, but it felt like a turn-based Pokémon game.
There was no dodging, no blocking, no countering, only simple and rough fighting, but it made all the audience feel a fiery emotion burning in their hearts as they took turns fighting!
Diamond arm, DDT, German back drop, bomb drop, Argentine back drop...
Gong Yangzhen took all the moves Guan Linchun made, regardless of where they came from! The hardness of his bones and the toughness of his body amazed his opponents!
After taking these tricks, Gong Yang Zhen would time it well and return them intact after about ten seconds!
The moves were almost perfectly replicated, but the outrageous scene of a 187cm tall man using wrestling skills against a giant man nearly 2 meters tall was extremely absurd!
The audience's cheers became louder and louder, and the two men on the field were also having a lot of fun. Rather than a deathmatch, this was more like a gorgeous and grand wrestling show.
