Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 456: GAKKI-chan Wants to Be a Secretary, Betty's Surprise (-word chapter)

"Teacher Kamiizumi, today's semi-finals were truly exciting. The match between Fedor Emelianenko and Zhang Long just now surprised us all.

The upcoming match has attracted the most attention since the start of the tournament. Could you please share your thoughts on the upcoming match? A beautiful NHK reporter in a bright red dress is conducting an interview.

Before such an important competition, the media likes to interview professionals to arouse the anticipation of the audience in front of the TV.

As the chief of the organizing committee of this Kendo tournament and a leading figure in the Kendo world, Kamiizumi Sainao is naturally the best subject for interview.

"As for the upcoming match, I predict it will be quite thrilling. This will be determined by the playing styles of Ms. Adams and Kakun.

The duel between the two of them certainly wouldn't drag on to a third round like the previous one. Most likely, the outcome would be decided in the first round with a single sword strike.

This will be an equally exciting duel, everyone is welcome to wait and see." Ueizumi replied directly.

Ueizumi Saisao's answer was quite standard, and he commented on the possible playing style and highlights of the game.

But the reporter obviously wanted to get a more explosive comment, so the NHK reporter continued to ask: "Can you predict the result of the game?"

Ueizumisai shook his head. "The game is ever-changing. If I could predict it accurately, there wouldn't be so many upsets in this tournament."

He was referring to the seeded player rankings made by the organizing committee. The final four were: No. 1 Fedor, No. 10 Zhang Long, No. 28 Betty and No. 29 Kakun.

Except for Fedor Emelianenko who advanced all the way with his absolute strength, most of the players favored by the organizing committee were eliminated early.

Including Kamiizumi Saisao himself, they all lost to Zhang Long, who was ranked lower than him. It can be seen that the outcome of the game is extremely difficult to predict.

The NHK reporter was also helpless about the mature and reserved Ueizumi Sainao, who did not easily leave room for criticism, but she still insisted on asking: "Everyone likes Miss Adams and hopes she can win.

Yesterday she easily defeated No. 2 seed Hyman Williams.

Why do you still think it's difficult for her to win today against Kakun, who is ranked much lower than Heyman?"

Facing this question from the NHK reporter, Kamisuma Saizhi exclaimed in his heart, "It's time!"
Ueizumi Saizhi had heard a little about the relationship between Betty Adams and Lin Yuan. Such a young lady with an astonishing family background and wealth could be of great help to Lin Yuan.

Therefore, in the eyes of Saisunao Kamiizumi, Betty is absolutely one of his own, and he will do everything he can to help Betty.

Yesterday's victory over No. 2 seed Hyman Williams created unrealistic expectations and over-the-top hopes for the crowd.

The audience will think:

If he easily defeated Hyman Williams, who is ranked second, how difficult would it be to defeat Kakun, who is ranked 2th?
This preconceived expectation led to Betty defeating Kakkun, and the audience felt that it was natural, and Betty did not receive any praise.

And if Betty loses, it will attract a lot of bad comments.

Therefore, when the NHK female reporter raised this question, Kamiizumi Saisunao felt it was exactly what he wanted.

He shook his head and said, "In fact, the possibility of Miss Adams losing in today's game is far greater than the possibility of winning. It will be a tough battle for her."

Seeing the old swordsman accept the challenge, the NHK female reporter asked in agreement, "Really? I thought Ms. Adams had a huge advantage in today's match."

"Because Kakun's fighting style is extremely restraining to Miss Adams. Miss Adams's greatest advantages are her speed and swordsmanship, which complement each other. Because of her speed, she can seize the initiative and use her advantageous position to perform more sword techniques.

But Kakun is even faster than Miss Adams, which greatly weakens her advantage," Ueizumi Saisao explained.

"I understand. The opponent is faster and has suppressed Ms. Adams's advantage. I would also like to ask, from Ms. Adams's perspective, does she have any shortcomings and deficiencies?" asked the NHK female reporter.

"Perhaps Miss Adams's biggest drawback when it comes to kendo competitions is her beauty," Kamisumasai replied directly.

"Ah?" The NHK female reporter was stunned.

"Miss Betty has many years of experience in kendo practice and has received careful guidance from Teacher Lin Yuan, so her actual swordsmanship is almost perfect.

Her only shortcoming, which is not considered a shortcoming, is that as a girl, she is far inferior to men in natural strength.

"If she's willing to give up her beauty and choose to gain 40 kilograms, she'll definitely win today's match. "Kakun poses no threat to her at all; even Fedor Emelianenko would be intimidated." Ueizumi replied directly.

Hearing the old swordsman's answer, the NHK female reporter couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mr. Kamiizumi, you are really humorous and witty. Just a few words made us understand that Miss Adams's shortcomings are not because she is not strong enough, but because of her innate gender differences."

She continued, "But as a woman, I understand Ms. Adams's mindset. If she had to gain 40 kilograms to win the competition, she would rather die than do so."

"How could a stunning beauty like her gain weight and ruin her own beauty? That would be a crime."

The female reporter's answer was also quite clever. She calmly pointed out that Betty did not have any shortcomings, but it was caused by gender differences.

At the same time, he also stood at the perspective of women's empathy and vigorously pulled in a lot of sympathy votes.

In this way, even if Betty loses the game, she will only win more understanding and sympathy from the audience.

"You're right. If Miss Adams can win later, it will be a great victory." Shangquan Saizhi pushed again calmly.

The conclusion drawn by the old swordsman set the tone for today's game.

His conversation with the NHK female reporter was not only broadcast live on the big screen inside the Tokyo Dome, but was also broadcast to audiences across the country through television media.

This immediately made the audience who supported Betty worried: It turned out that Miss Adams was likely to lose today?
The cheers for Betty at the scene immediately rose a bit, and the atmosphere was already quite heated before the game even started.

"Teacher Kamiizumi is so bold! How could Ms. Adams choose to gain 40 kilograms?" GAKKI-chan couldn't help but complain when she saw the interview on the big screen.

Lin Yuan nodded. Of course he knew how much Betty loved beauty. Which woman didn’t pay attention to her weight?

Otherwise, there would not be such a saying that weight and age are the two biggest secrets of women.

This reminded Lin Yuan of the night when he and Betty were attacked by thugs hired by Mills, the president of MGM.

Facing the attack from the former elite SEALs and the life-and-death crisis, whenever Lin Yuan asked Betty about her weight, she would secretly report 5 kilograms less (Chapter 376).

How could she possibly choose to gain 40kg?

"Is it really possible that Miss Betty will lose?" asked GAKKI.

Lin Yuan replied, "The winning rate is 30%. I have been helping her simulate the results of the battles over the past few days."

"Is Kakun so strong?" GAKKI asked in confusion.

"Ueizumi Sainao's answer just now was very good, but there is one thing he didn't mention, which is that Kakun's swordsmanship was honed through life-and-death struggles.

Kakun has personally killed several people, and there's a murderous aura in his swordsmanship; that's his true strength," Lin Yuan said.

"Ah? So cruel?" GAKKI said that she really couldn't see that Kakun had such a side.

"Some people think that Toshihiko Miyamoto lost to Kakum accidentally yesterday, but that's not the case at all. If the two play another ten games, Kakum will win every one of them. The extreme comeback seems to rely on luck, but in fact, this is Kakum's style of play." Lin Yuan replied.

"I think most of the audience here bet on Miss Adams to win, right? Their chips are in danger. If that's the case, the audience who lost money may dislike Miss Adams. I'm going to deal with the public opinion management plan first!" said GAKKI.

After saying that, GAKKI-chan went to the organizing committee office alone.

Looking at GAKKI-chan's back, Lin Yuan smiled without saying a word.

GAKKI is really the one with the highest emotional intelligence among all the women in Lin Yuan.

When it comes to scheming, even if Tianxian, Taylor Swift, and Annie are put together, they are still not enough to beat GAKKI alone.

The audience bought on Betty to win, didn’t you buy on it too?
You mentioned the live audience but not yourself, but I still remember that you also bet on Betty to win, right?

Some people say that knowing when to stop is a sign of high emotional intelligence.

But GAKKI's cooking method, which you can feel even without ordering it, is several levels higher.

She wouldn't just say, "Oops! I bet on Miss Adams to win, and now my chips are in jeopardy."

This seems too deliberate. You can't wait to mention something after doing it, giving people the feeling that you are afraid that others don't know.

If you keep doing this, people will feel disgusted.

She would only say, "I don't want people to be offended by this against Miss Adams. I'm going to do something for her."

Through her actions, GAKKI-chan proved to Lin Yuan: "I will always put you first. I am willing to help you take care of the woman next to you."

Lin Yuan recalled that when he came to Japan for the second time, GAKKI had already vaguely expressed her desire to be his assistant.

Lin Yuan was sure of this, she was definitely not motivated by any ambition.

But after becoming Lin Yuan's assistant, she had more time to spend with Lin Yuan.

Is this selfish?

Lin Yuan didn’t know, but if a woman’s selfish desire was to spend more time with you, probably few men would be disgusted.

Does Lin Yuan need an assistant? Is GAKKI-chan suitable?

Two years ago, Lin Yuan might not have had the answer in his mind, but now the answer is very clear: she is suitable!
The simplest truth is that Lin Yuan would never dare to bring Liu Yufei to hook up with Taylor Swift and Betty Boop.

The opposite is the same.

But with GAKKI-chan, he really has no pressure at all, and it seems that he doesn't need to avoid her in anything.

She is really the most suitable assistant. Just imagine having the national wife from your previous life by your side as an assistant. She will also take the initiative to help you solve all kinds of troubles caused by other women. Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel quite excited.

What is this Shuanger MAX Ultimate Edition?
It seems that after this tournament is over, I should have a formal talk with GAKKI-chan.

"Attention, audience members! The next exciting match is about to begin!"

Following the sound coming from the speakers, Lin Yuan once again turned his attention to the center of the competition field.

The referee was already signaling the players to come to the center of the field, and the names of the two teams were displayed on the big screen:
[Betty Adams VS Kacun Santos]

After seeing this line of subtitles, many people noticed for the first time that Kakun's last name was Santos. In the past, everyone only remembered his first name but not his last name.

It’s not that everyone deliberately looks down on him, but because Kakun himself doesn’t take him seriously.

In the player list, his page only has a single name, no surname.

Perhaps because he was born in the slums of Brazil, for orphans like Kacun, surnames are not important at all.

Anyway, his parents never fulfilled their responsibility to raise him. He grew up eating welfare money, leftovers from roadside trash cans, and bloody food from gangs.

According to GAKKI, before the game today, Kakun took the initiative to find the staff to complete the information and asked to add this surname.

Perhaps the last name Santos was given to himself by Kakun at such an important moment in the game?

Santos means "saint" or "holy one" in Spanish, and its name implies carefulness, analyticalness, and spirituality.

Is this what he expects for his future self?

Lin Yuan looked at Kakun's solemn and excited expression in the center of the field, and it was not difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

For him, participating in this Kendo tournament and reaching this point has changed his destiny.

Using a new surname, saying goodbye to your past self and moving towards a brand new life, doesn’t this make people feel full of ritual and more excited?

Kakun will be in a more difficult situation in this state.

Lin Yuan became even more worried about Betty's game today.

At this time, the big screen began to play the data of both teams:

[Name: Betty Adams]

【Nationality: United States】

[Age: 25 years old]

【Gender: Female】

【Height: 1.75 meters】

[Weight: 58 kg]

[Strength: ★★☆]

【Agility: ★★★★☆】

Physical Fitness: ★★★☆

Swordsmanship: ★★★★★★

[Basic Sword Moves: 36/36]

【Basic Changes: 25/25】

[Advanced Sword Moves: 14/18]

[Advanced Moves: 14/14]

When Betty's information was shown to the public, all the audience were surprised to find that her swordsmanship rating was 6 stars!
This is an absolutely exceptional evaluation, just like when she faced the Russian super strong man who was 2 meters tall and weighed 09 kilograms in the first game of the final.

At that time, the organizing committee also gave it a 6-star power rating as an exception.

After these days of special training, Betty now has mastered one more advanced sword move than when she made the player roster. Except for four moves that require extremely high strength and she really can't master them, she has learned all of them.

She has also fully mastered the advanced moves.

No wonder the organizing committee made an exception and gave a 6-star swordsmanship rating.

But the stronger her swordsmanship becomes, the more out of place her 2-star strength becomes.

After listening to the explanation just given by Kamiizumi Saisunao, the audience also understood this point.

Rather than letting Betty gain 40 kilograms and increase her strength to four stars or four and a half stars, they would rather Betty maintain her current beauty.

After all, appearance is the highest justice!

Under the halo of Betty's good looks, Kakun, as her opponent, inevitably looks like a villain.

At this time, Kakun's data was displayed on the big screen:
[Name: Kacun Santos]

【Nationality: Brazil】

[Age: 19 years old]

【Sex: Male】

【Height: 1.78 meters】

[Weight: 75 kg]

Strength: ★★★☆

Agility: ★★★★★★

Physical Fitness: ★★★★☆

[Swordsmanship: ★☆]

[Basic Sword Moves: 28/36]

【Basic Changes: 17/25】

[Advanced Sword Moves: 1/18]

[Advanced Moves: 9/14]

As soon as this attribute appeared in front of the audience, it immediately caused heated discussion:

"What's going on? Wasn't the agility rating five stars before? How did it become six stars?"

"Because his reach was so agile in the past few games, far surpassing all other players, the organizing committee made an exception and upgraded his rating to 6 stars."

"Now I understand Kamiizumi Jianhao's evaluation. Betty is known for her speed, but she only has a four and a half star rating. Kakun actually has a six-star rating, and combined with his strength advantage, it's no wonder Betty's win rate isn't high."

"What the hell is that one and a half star swordsmanship rating?"

"Kakun hasn't learned all the basic sword techniques, and his only advanced sword move is 'Ship Slash', so his sword skills rating is low."

"But he's a master of one trick. It's said that he's mastered the 'Ship Slash' to perfection, even having nine different variations. Miyamoto Kensho suffered a great loss."

The audience was talking about them heatedly, but the two contestants remained absolutely calm at this time.

"Beep!" As the referee blew the whistle, the game officially began.

Kakun was seen holding the knife in both hands, standing at his right shoulder, with his right elbow raised, starting with the Dragonfly Eight Phases stance, which meant that he would launch a full-scale attack.

Betty's performance surprised all the audience.

Betty was not holding the katana with both hands, but with her right hand, and her left hand was holding the sword through the scabbard, in a defensive posture.

"What's going on? Why isn't Miss Adams's sword unsheathed?"

"I guess she's planning to use the sword technique 'Iai,' so she's hiding her sword in its scabbard. But in this kind of competition, 'Iai' is completely useless, right? Have you seen any competitor use 'Iai' since the competition started?"

"That's weird. Putting aside whether Iai is effective or not, the opening move isn't like this."

This scene also made Lin Yuan feel quite surprised.

The sword is hidden in the scabbard, which is indeed the usage of "Iai".

But "Iai" is not like the one in the anime, where there is a sense of a sword being unsheathed that can instantly cut through everything.

After all, this world is material, so where does all the metaphysics come from?

When a sword is swung, whether in terms of speed or power, a direct chop is definitely more powerful.

"Iai" has an awkward transition step. You have to pull the sword out of the scabbard first, and then draw the sword. How can it be stronger than a direct chop?
Therefore, in reality, "Iai" is not a powerful killing move.

The most common application of "Iai" is when two people sit opposite each other and talk about something. Because there is no sword drawn, the other party will not feel alert.

At this time, take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, quickly draw your sword, and kill the opponent with one blow.

Therefore, the essence of "Iai" is actually a "sneak attack" swordsmanship that does not abide by martial ethics.

Paralyze the enemy in a relatively non-offensive posture, and then launch a sneak attack and assassination.

If the opponent is already prepared and ready, then it is better to put away "Iai".

Assassins cannot go to the battlefield.

Sneak attack tactics cannot be used in head-on confrontations.

At this time, the knife Betty showed was hidden in the scabbard, which was indeed the use of "Iai", but her posture was a standard defensive posture, which confused the audience.

But Lin Yuan knew that Betty had mastered the killer move and sword combination that he taught her.

Betty's posture at this time is actually a fusion of the advanced sword moves "Iai" and "Rushan".

This means that she can quickly activate these two advanced sword moves.

The biggest shortcoming of "Like a Mountain" is that it only defends and does not attack, and it will lose if it defends for too long.

But once combined with "Iai", it can, to some extent, solve the fatal weakness of lack of offense.

It is a very rare thing to be able to integrate sword moves together.

Because different sword moves have considerable differences in force techniques, footwork, and breathing, they cannot be combined just because you want to.

If you want to perform a sword combination, the first step is to know that those sword moves can be integrated, which is almost impossible for all players.

If the first step is difficult, the second step is even more difficult, which is to practice two advanced sword moves to the extreme at the same time and reach the level of being able to wield the sword as one wishes.

This is also almost impossible to do.

When Lin Yuan had taught Betty a few sword techniques, he hadn't intended for her to master them. He had simply treated them as a demonstration, to show her where to go when the new sword technique manual reached its end.

But he didn't think that Betty could do it at all because it was too difficult.

I didn't expect that she actually succeeded?
In this regard, Lin Yuan can only say that he is indeed a super academic master.

These days, he and Betty have been so close that he has forgotten that when he first met her in Long Island, she was known as a female genius, a 21-year-old female doctor, and a super academic master.

Her exceptional brain meant that her learning ability far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In fact, the reason why her swordsmanship rating can reach 6 stars is not just because Lin Yuan helps her cheat, but it also shows her super strong ability to learn swordsmanship.

But Lin Yuan was in the dark and walked too close to the woman, so he couldn't help but forget the learning ability of the woman in front of him.

At this moment, Betty's stance proved that she had perfectly mastered at least one sword combination.

Judging from his skillful appearance, it is obvious that he has not just mastered it, but has mastered it for several days.

But she had been hiding it and not letting Lin Yuan know until this moment, just to give Lin Yuan a big "surprise".

Betty on the field had her back to Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan looked up at the big screen and clearly saw the smile on the corner of her mouth.

It's as if to say, "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Regardless of whether Lin Yuan was surprised or not, Kakun in front of Betty must have been both surprised and unexpected.

Faced with Betty's strange posture, he was really confused, but with sufficient actual combat experience, he could clearly sense that the posture in front of him was not easy to deal with.

But he couldn't just stand there and not fight, so Kakun took a step forward and tried a "Thrust!"

The thrust is a straight-line attack with the fastest speed, and is undoubtedly the best choice for testing the opponent's posture.

"when!"

Betty held the knife in her right hand and the scabbard in her left hand, and pushed her arms to the right.

A huge force came, and Kakun's brace was pushed to the side, leaving the goal wide open.

Why is the force so strong?
Just like the match between Zhang Long and Fedor just now, Betty's way of holding the knife is a labor-saving lever, while Kakun's is a labor-intensive lever.

Although Kakun is stronger than Betty, the difference in the way they hold the knife eliminates the difference in strength between the two.

With the goal wide open, Kakun rolled over alertly to guard against a possible counterattack from Betty.

But Betty still remained on the defensive, with no intention of attacking.

Kakun stood firm and slashed out with the "Cassock Slash" again.

"when!"

Once again, Betty blocked it.

This time, Kakun understood completely.

It turns out that Betty's stance is "like a mountain". Although it looks different from the standard version, at least the effect is similar.

This made Kakun feel uncomfortable.

When fighting against "like a mountain", there are two most standard ways to crack it:
The first is to rely on brute force to break it. If you can't break it, it means you're not strong enough. But this is obviously not what Kakun can do.

The second method is to use "Cong Yun", just like what Fedo did to Zhang Long just now, gradually finding the opponent's flaws in continuous attacks.

Kakun still couldn't do this because he only knew the "Ship Slash" advanced sword move.

However, Kakun cannot break the "mountain-like" defensive posture by relying solely on the "Ship Slash".

The current situation made Kakun feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing this scene, Betty raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile.

This was exactly what she wanted. Kakun was faster than her, and much faster.

Betty simply gave up all possibilities of high-speed movement, and moved steadily and steadily, concentrating on being a turtle.

Even though most of her sword moves couldn't be used in this situation, as long as she could win, it was fine.

Betty absolutely did not want to let Zhang Long's efforts go to waste. He used all his strength and ended up with both him and Fedor Emelianenko suffering heavy losses.

This gave Betty a slim chance of winning tomorrow, so she definitely didn't want to lose today's match.

The essence of Betty's approach is to actively destroy her own speed and footwork, but it actually gains her a wider space.

This is the same method as the solution to the Zhenlong chess game, and the effect is similar.

Seeing this scene, the audience began to cheer for Betty:

"Come on Betty! Betty will win!"

"After listening to Shangquan Jianhao's introduction just now, I was really worried that Miss Adams would lose. I didn't expect her to use this method to break the opponent's advantage."

"She's truly a genius! Now that Brazilian kid is frustrated, right?"

Faced with the overwhelming support from the audience, Kakun, who had been frustrated in his continuous attacks, did not feel discouraged at all.

Born in the slums, he has experienced countless desperate situations. How could this be the end?
Since you've given up on footwork and speed, I'll use this advantage to the fullest!

Kakun started running around Betty, his speed getting faster and faster.

And Betty had no choice but to follow Kakun's steps and start turning her body.

Originally, Kakun was doing circular motion and needed to move a longer distance, while Betty was just rotating around the center of the circle. It should be that Kakun was more tired and Betty was more relaxed.

But because Betty needed to maintain a "mountain-like" posture, her rotation speed was not fast, and she was actually a little slower than Kakun.

After all, it is "as still as a mountain". It is not impossible to move if you really want to, but it will always be a little slow.

The two men kept spinning, but it was obvious that Kakun's rotation angle was faster.

As he ran, Kakun turned much faster than Betty, and soon he was able to get behind Betty and launch a fatal attack.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan couldn't help but worry for Betty.

In many simulated battles with Betty, the most difficult thing for Kakun to deal with is his "speed".

Draw the sword quickly, move quickly, and dodge quickly.

These three speeds make Kakun one of the most difficult enemies to deal with even though his sword moves are extremely monotonous.

Although Kakun had gradually gained the upper hand at this time, Lin Yuan was not particularly worried about Betty.

Because of this situation, they simulated it.

Lin Yuan is like an experienced gold medal training teacher who can help students predict the questions before the exam, and he always gets them right.

As long as Kakun continues to run to Betty's side and rear, when he draws his knife, he will immediately feel the surprise that Betty has prepared for him.

This is because Betty predicted Kakun's behavior and laid a trap in advance.

As Kakun continued to run to the right, he had already reached the predetermined angle. One more step forward and he would be able to launch an attack.

Betty held the knife with both hands, her muscles tensed, the moment to decide the outcome was about to come.

Kakun took a heavy step forward to the right.

"Boom!"

He stomped his left foot hard on the ground, like beating a war drum.

Betty immediately turned around and drew her knife: "Niai!"

This is an advanced sword move that involves turning the body while striking the "Iai Slash" backwards!

Because of its extremely high difficulty, this move appears for the first time in the entire Kendo tournament!
Betty had already taken the initiative by striking first.

Kakun had no idea that she would suddenly switch from defense to offense as long as he continued to move to the right.

Then you will be hit head-on by the knife.

Betty was 7% sure that this blow could knock out Kakun, or at least cause him considerable damage.

But when Betty swung the knife, Lin Yuan, who was watching the fight on the sidelines, frowned.

Because... Kakun changed his tactics!

Kakun's powerful left foot did not provide him with the power to continue sprinting to the right, but instead went to the left, reversing the direction of his run 180 degrees.

As Kakun suddenly turned to the left, Betty's knife that was slashing towards his right naturally missed.

At this moment, Betty's pupils contracted sharply: Was this his prediction of my prediction?
Kakun flashed to the left and found that Betty's attack had left the goal wide open.

opportunity!

A flash of the sword was Kakun's best skill, the "ship slash".

He finally seized the opportunity and delivered the fatal blow.

Kakun's knife was aimed directly at Betty's head, with no mercy at all.

If this blow had hit her, Betty would at least have suffered a concussion even with protective gear, and would have lost the possibility of continuing the game.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two consecutive sounds were heard.

In a flash, Betty instinctively pressed down with the scabbard in her left hand to block Kakun's sword swing.

This hasty defense is definitely not enough to block this sharp sword.

But it can barely change the trajectory of the knife.

At the same time as the scabbard in Betty's left hand was bounced open, Kakun's knife also hit Betty's left rib armor heavily.

Betty was hit and staggered, took a few steps back, and was about to sit on the ground.

According to the rules, when a player falls to the ground, the referee will blow the timeout whistle.

But Kakun obviously didn't want to let Betty go easily. As long as she didn't sit on the ground, he could continue to attack.

If this move is successful, it should end the game immediately.

Kakun quickly stepped forward, and using his speed advantage, he once again launched a "Sun Stab!"

This is one of the nine subsequent variations of his "Ship Slash".

Compared with the ordinary thrust, this move is performed with the knife held in one hand and the right arm extended sideways, which has a faster speed and a longer attack distance, just right for the current pursuit situation.

Seeing this scene, many audience members stood up from their chairs nervously and shouted loudly:
"How despicable! After the conspiracy succeeded, he still refused to give up and insisted on pursuing the perpetrator relentlessly."

"How cruel! This knife was actually aimed at the chin. What if it hits him?"

"Miss Adams is in danger. Could you please not be so ruthless? If she gets disfigured, can you afford the compensation?"

At this critical moment, Betty, who was originally staggering, miraculously stabilized her body.

She used her left heel as the center of the circle and spun to avoid Kakun's sword thrust.

Betty turned around at high speed and slashed with a heavy knife.

"Boom!"

The knife hit Kakun's left shoulder armor hard.

When the knife came down, Kakun, feeling something was wrong, started rolling on the spot, but he was still a beat too slow.

A series of rolls allowed him to avoid Betty's subsequent attacks, but he couldn't avoid the first knife.

Apparently, he had some injury to his left shoulder.

Betty also realized it later and covered her left rib.

Although the armor blocked Kakun's knife just now, it still caused a big bruise. The pain made Betty frown.

"Did you just predict my prediction?" Betty asked.

She was referring to Kakun's sudden move to the left, a stroke of genius that shattered all of Betty's expectations.

Kakun shook his head. "I didn't think about it that much. It's just that I like to do a reversal before making a move. It's my habit."

Betty nodded. She had read Kakun's information.

The fight in the slums is full of dangers, and it has become his instinct to never let his opponent know his cards.

Kakun did not predict Betty's prediction, but he instinctively wanted to make a reversal before attacking so that he would feel safe.

Is this the fighting experience that Lin Yuan mentioned?
Kakun also asked, "Were you pretending when you were stumbling and unsteady just now?"

Betty nodded and answered truthfully, "Yes, that's the only way to tempt you to be greedy and reckless."

"Are your injuries serious? Can you continue the game?" the referee interrupted and asked.

"It's okay! Keep playing!"*2
They both replied in unison.

After seeing this scene, the audience reacted belatedly.

At this moment, the big screen was playing slow-motion footage of the series of confrontations between the two men.

The multiple reversals in this extreme period of time just now were so severe that they were dazzled.

"Isn't this too brain-intensive?"

"It's so exciting, it seems to be even more exciting than the match between Feiduo and Zhang Long just now?"

"Be more confident and remove the "as if" part. The two of them are really evenly matched."

Kakun also conquered many of the audience with his performance.

At this time, many audiences began to cheer for him.

"Come on Kakun!"

"Kakun, you can win, but please don't be so ruthless!"

The two men on the field gripped their samurai swords tightly.

They all knew that the next round would decide the outcome.

It is impossible for Kakun to fight for three full rounds with his high-speed and life-risking fighting style.

In the next attack, he will definitely put all his effort into it.

This time, Betty's two swords were not raised above her head, nor were they held horizontally, but the blades hung down to the ground.

What kind of posture is this?
Have you completely given up on defense?

Faced with Betty's attitude, Kakun felt quite uncomfortable.

This is the advanced sword move used for defense, "Sealing the Foot."

All attacks must be coordinated with footwork.

How can you take the initiative to attack if you don't step forward and swing your sword with the strength of your waist and arms?

Betty's blade at this time is pointed directly at the opponent's feet, which will inevitably bring psychological pressure to the attacker.

When you stride forward, wouldn't your opponent's poke directly hit your forward step?

"Blocking the foot" is not a perfect defensive skill, but it can bring great psychological pressure to the opponent.

All of Betty's fighting styles today were the most suitable moves to restrain Kakun after eliminating the wrong options, which naturally put a lot of pressure on him.

When Kakun hesitated to move forward, Betty took the initiative to move forward.

What is this going to do?
As she moved forward, Betty's "sealed foot" posture was automatically lifted.

Although she got the upper hand, could this slight advantage make her faster than Kakun?

Obviously it is impossible.

There was a flash of the sword, and Kakun's best "Ship Slash" was slashed out again.

It was too fast. No one could block Kakun's attack without prior preparation.

Because it has exceeded the maximum neural reaction speed that humans can respond to.

But Betty miraculously took a step back and dodged the knife.

He had lured Kakun into attacking, and then, anticipating that he would counterattack, he retreated early to avoid the attack.

Betty's sudden step forward and then back made Lin Yuan's eyes light up.

He thought back to the first time he had simulated Fido and faced off against Betty at the Palace Hotel.

She took a quick step back to dodge the knife, and then Lin Yuan's sword slashed through the air less than 3 centimeters away from her cheek.

The airflow created by the blade not only blew away her bangs, but also made her eyelashes sway slightly under the wind pressure.

After dodging the knife by taking half a step back, she immediately pushed off the ground with her right leg, retreated instead of advancing, and rushed forward, slashing with the knife, attacking Lin Yuan with all her strength.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

But this time she got the order wrong, moving forward and backward, and also avoided Kakun's fatal blow.

The knife swung in the air, and Kakun had a back-up move to change the tactics.

But Betty didn't give him a chance, and thrust the blade upwards.

"Boom!"

The blade struck Kakun's chin like lightning.

Kakun rolled his eyes cleanly and fainted.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the victory whistle and announced that the game was advanced.

As the arena turned upside down, everyone was celebrating for Betty.

But she silently said: "No, although it was not easy to win, he should be faster. I may not be able to dodge that knife."

Betty looked at Lin Yuan with some confusion.

Lin Yuan nodded, then shook his head.
