Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 441 Limited Edition Wedding Skin
Ryuko swiftly swung her arm, generating a shockwave. The slashes from the Taisho Scissors tore through the ground as they approached Kiryuin Satsuki, creating radiating turbulence centered on her, leaving the area in ruins.

"—Drink up!!"

The roaring slashes increased in power every second, and the connection between the slashes and the blood on her body deepened every moment. The slashes had completely become a part of her body, indistinguishable from her skin. This was Ryuko Matoi's awakened "Man and Clothes as One"!
The grayish-yellow ground looked as if it had been plowed, and even the air seemed to be shattered by the chaotic sword energy. Kiryuin Satsuki, wearing the same style of divine robe, was within the range of that attack, yet she was almost unharmed.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Amidst the increasingly rapid, heavier, and utterly chaotic slashes, she effortlessly deflected them all with her Binding Slash. Her sword was like a rain curtain, washing away everything.

In front of the only delinquent girl in the academy, amidst her relentless and stormy attacks, Kiryuin Satsuki unconsciously smiled—a smile that was incredibly chilling and arrogant.

"Is that all? Is that all?! You dare to claim you can defeat Kiryuin Satsuki with just this much power?!"

In this unexpected duel, something that couldn't be told to anyone weighed heavily on Kiryuin Satsuki's mind...

The girl who dared to draw her knife against her was her sister, whom she had thought was dead, the sister she had reunited with after being separated for many years…

She has grown into an extremely strong young woman, in no way inferior to her!

The next few words were roared out by Kiryuin Satsuki in her uniquely powerful voice:
"Ten-Ryu-ko!!!"

Because she was her sister, she needed to make sure she had the qualifications, ability, and awareness to fight against Luo Xiao together with her!
The only way to confirm it is with the sword in your hand!

Almost every blink of an eye, dozens of sparks exploded around the two men, so intense that every audience member trembled and shuddered!
"I just hate your condescending tone!!!"

Unwilling to be outdone, Satsuki Kiryuin's gaze made Ryuko Matoi feel extremely uncomfortable.

boom boom boom…

The clash of swords ripped through the academy, some piercing the clouds and sky, others cleaving through the earth and high walls. The students, who had retreated into the teaching buildings and various sturdy shelters, trembled with fear.

"aieeee...what kind of power is this?!"

"My body... can't help but tremble...?"

"You too!? What's going on?"

The body was trembling, and even the dynamic vision of ordinary trainees could not detect it. The two figures moving at high speed in the middle of the scene left only some messy and terrifying lines in the retina.

Even if the brain doesn't detect it, the approximately 60 trillion cells throughout the body have already sensed it. Even if the brain can't react, the body will tell them; the instincts of "humanity" are also issuing warnings—'Danger!' 'Run!' 'You're going to die!'

If you accidentally get caught up in their fight, it's no joke. Even if you don't die, you'll at least have a few ribs broken.

Whether it's because the Extreme Uniform is too powerful, or because the instincts of humans in this world are too strong, so far only a few hundred unlucky souls at the beginning were unable to dodge in time and were blasted into the sky by the sword energy and blade light, drifting like kites in the wind.

Apart from them, the remaining Instinct students are all tough guys who have survived the hardships and setbacks in this academy and have protected themselves very well.

They were unaware that their feet had moved; they were simply following the instructions of their body cells, and by the time they realized it, they had already hidden themselves.

However, although they were there as spectators of this one-on-one duel, they had no way of predicting who the final winner would be.

"No matter who wins... the heavens of instinct are about to change completely."

A teacher with short, dark blue hair seemed extremely agitated, pulling his shirt down as if he wanted some fresh air.

……

"Blood, can you feel it?"

"Hmm, Ryuko..."

Amidst the sound of air being violently forced through, the thrusters behind her emitted airflow, propelling her body at high speed as the girl and her partner engaged in a silent spiritual exchange.

"That dress called 'Purity' doesn't seem to be entirely the same kind as me; it doesn't have its own consciousness."

"That's right, and that woman, Kiryuin Satsuki, used the word 'overwhelm' instead of 'one with'... Does this mean she didn't just put on the divine robe, but forcibly controlled the other person?"

"What a terrifying guy!" x2
Indeed, the divine garment called "Purity" was created more than a decade ago.

"Purity" did not mix with Ryuko's DNA like "Blood" did, and was born with its own consciousness. It was merely a bloodthirsty beast. However, Kiryuin Satsuki still forcibly subdued it with her own will and has been fighting under the burden ever since.

With one side united in purpose and the other forcibly trying to unify, Satsuki Kiryuin's defeat was, in theory, inevitable.

No matter how much Ryuko Matoi rallied her strength, she was still unable to defeat Satsuki Kiryuin, and was even falling further behind. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before things returned to the way they were at the beginning.

That's incredible, absolutely incredible.

She couldn't help but think.

It wasn't that she was strong in terms of physical strength; more importantly, her sword carried a domineering sword intent that could slay all living beings and annihilate all enemies... a pure sword of domination and punishment, with simple and refined movements, both beautiful and cruel.

There is still a decisive gap between them.

So what exactly is it?

Wearing the same divine armor, and considering the difference in their initial stats, the two are practically equal in terms of physical strength. At this moment, under the pressure from Kiryuin Satsuki, Ryuko's burning fighting spirit temporarily compensates for her mental weakness, making them evenly matched in terms of mental strength. The difference in desire and persistence cannot determine the outcome of this battle.

That's all that's left, right?
———— "Technology"

Technology, in its original sense, was created to enable the weak to fight against the strong, and was born to... allow the weak to overcome the strong!

Has anyone considered what the key is when it comes to determining a winner between two strong individuals with equal power, strength, and skill level?
The answer should be obvious...

—That is, the "complete realm".

This refers to the efficiency and refinement of the use of power.

There are differences between strong individuals, and these differences lie in their understanding of techniques and tactics, also known as the "complete realm," which is the mastery of one's own power.

A person at the highest level of mastery has achieved a terrifying level of control over all forces, including external forces.

They can fully understand their own power and bring it to its fullest potential. When fighting against powerful enemies, they can always take the initiative and seize the initiative. When they make a move, they can concentrate and refine their power completely without any waste or oversight. This allows them to produce a terrifying killing effect of ten or even a hundred percent even if they only exert a fraction of their power.

While the power of the divine garment is indeed formidable, if one cannot utilize it effectively and merely relies on brute force to propel it, then one is destined not to become the strongest.

Ryuko's weakness compared to Kiryuin Satsuki lies precisely in this: her skills are lacking, and her level of understanding is even more insufficient! Ryuko Matoi, who had previously dominated only boarding schools in Kansai, possessed physical abilities that were rarely matched among her peers, but her fighting skills could only be described as passable.

The opponent she faces now is no longer those bullies who beg for mercy after being punched, but Kiryuin Satsuki, who burns his heart in spiritual training more than anyone else, reigns supreme over a city, and has ambitions that extend to the whole world!

In terms of ultimate skill, Ryuko was completely defeated by Kiryuin Satsuki, and it was not surprising that she was at a disadvantage.

Faced with such exquisite, superb, and precise swordsmanship, she could only resort to the ugliest fighting style of a delinquent girl—you strike me with your sword, I will strike back with my own!

"Time! Just a little more time!"

Even if one has reached the level of "man and clothing as one", the transformation is still limited by time.

That's why she has to push her body and mind every second to absorb everything that Kiryuin Satsuki has shown so far!

Imitate! Absorb!
Finally, I will completely surpass her!

In the scissors and binding slashes that shimmered with starlight, with each clash, the speed and power of the swords increased subtly, yet with each strike, the force and speed transmitted from the binding slash also gradually intensified.

"Unbelievable..."

Ryuko realized something. If she hadn't deliberately suppressed her power, only engaging in a duel with someone of equal strength, then Kiryuin Satsuki...

Do you think you're the only one who's become stronger?

Kiryuin Satsuki confirmed her guess with a cold laugh.

Ryuko Matoi regarded her as a role model, and she, in turn, regarded Ryuko Matoi as her whetstone, making her own blade sharper.

The so-called refinement of swordsmanship, which becomes stronger through "slashing," naturally also involves advancing towards the "complete realm." What she's about to "slash" is Ryuko Matoi.
However, seeing Ryuko's increasingly pleasing figure and witnessing her extraordinary progress, Kiryuin Satsuki was also shocked.

Her sister's potential might be even more terrifying than she imagined.

……

Inside the laboratory of Honnoji Academy.

A huge figure was peering out the window.

Jagi, assuming the posture of a caterpillar with telescopes, took in the astonishing clash between the first and second daughters of the Chan family using the extraordinary dynamic vision of a martial artist, and exclaimed in amazement:
"Holy crap! There's a wedding dress skin too!"

It's my type, so I'll add it directly to the group album.

"Purity" is the wedding dress prepared for his daughter's marriage. In a sense, Jia Ji is not wrong, but it is really strange.

Between them...who will win?

Chan Yishen also stopped what she was doing and watched intently as her two blood-related daughters fought fiercely and passionately in front of everyone.

As a father, his feelings are quite complicated right now...

He was proud of the divine garment he had created, which was worn by his two daughters, whom he was so proud of. He was also amazed by their strength and rapid progress, which had far surpassed his irresponsible father. At the same time, he couldn't bear to see the two little girls fighting each other, getting wounded and bleeding, but he couldn't help but want to see the final result.

As for whether the injury will be too severe and endanger his life?

The strongest aspect of the Divine Garment is undoubtedly its defensive power, and having witnessed the miraculous effects of the "Eientei Good Healing Medicine," this is the aspect he has the least to worry about.

"Only God knows who will win."

Jagi shrugged; he genuinely couldn't tell.

Any external factor could affect the final winner. Although he didn't expect Ryuko to challenge him so directly, Jagi now just hopes that the two of them can fight for a little longer.

Both Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin absorbed each other's experience, fighting spirit, and ambition little by little during this battle, turning everything about the other into their own power.

The two are rapidly growing stronger in this mutual attack, constantly pushing their limits.

Such a state is rare and hard to come by; it's practically a coincidence. Even if they face off again, they probably won't have the same mindset and state as they have today, and it's impossible for them to make such an exaggerated, even unfair, improvement. It's truly a complete transformation.

"why?"

Shana asked the question. In her opinion, Ryuko had already joined their group and received guidance from everyone, so she should be stronger than her original self. Yet, she still couldn't easily defeat Kiryuin Satsuki... This was rather strange.

Is the protagonist of this world not Ryuko, but someone else?

"Although this is a reason from a super veteran—this is called a 'first appearance correction'—it's certain that the protagonist will face a tough battle against an opponent with the prestige of a 'final boss'..."

Jia Ji, however, was quite moved.

"Besides, who says Kiryuin Satsuki isn't the main character? She's been the main character in her own story from beginning to end..."

Even if they had never appeared, Kiryuin Satsuki would still move straight toward her goal without any confusion.

While they were having this conversation,
"Boom————!"

A deafening roar shook the entire Honnobi Academy.

The slash, too sharp for the naked eye to detect, struck the black and red figure, unleashing a violent shockwave. The deafening clash resounded through the sky, and the sword wind, traveling in a straight line, completely cleaved through the massive wall that separated the inside from the outside.

With a loud "boom," a black and red light flashed, and a swaying figure staggered a few steps before finally collapsing unwillingly.

"call--"

Sheath the sword.

After the starlight shimmered, the blue and white battle suit transformed back into a sailor uniform and was draped over the shoulders of the student council president, Honnoji.

—The result of the battle was…

Satsuki wins, Ryuko loses!
