Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 125 Practice Match

The weather was perfect in the morning.

On the streets near the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy, three "unemployed" people dressed in casual clothes were strolling around.

As they passed by Shiraki's house, the chubby middle-aged man at the head of the group suddenly twitched his ears, hearing the sounds of fists clenching and fighting coming from the yard.

Turning my head, I saw that the outline of a brand-new martial arts school had been completed, and some of the windows had been sealed with glass.

"Huh? When did a martial arts gym appear here? It looks pretty nicely decorated!"

"SC Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall... Hmm, it's a pity it hasn't officially opened yet."

The middle-aged man listened intently, a relaxed and comfortable expression on his face.

"Is someone practicing? The sound of hitting the sandbag is so nice!"

The middle-aged man blinked his small eyes and smiled at the two behind him, saying, "Hey, Numukawa, Ishiwa, next time we go out for a day, let's find a gym to work out!"

Upon hearing this, the two people behind him immediately looked distressed. "Seriously? Squad leader, underground labor is tiring enough, why do we have to continue training after just one day out?"

"You two idiots!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Exercise for health is not tiring physical labor. Exercising in a scientific way—that kind of sweating will be very enjoyable!"

The three chatted as they wandered aimlessly away.

……

……

Today is the construction team's day off, so we won't cause any trouble for others.

Therefore, Mitsuyo Kousei had calculated the time well in advance, and sent his disciple, Kosuke Imai, to the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall to have a "training match" with Maruk.

As a fighter in the Kengan Association, Imai Kosou has many opportunities to compete.

Even in the Kengan Association, where many heroes gather, there are few fighters of Maruk's caliber. Of course, Mitsuyo Koishi would not miss this opportunity to train his disciple.

His disciple, Imai Kosuke, is a genius who can continuously improve, but he is still somewhat immature and needs further refinement in both mindset and technique.

Snapped!
Mitsuyo Koishi raised his hand and slapped Kosuke Imai on the back to encourage him.

"Keep it up! Little Maruk may have only recently started practicing combat, but he has a wealth of fighting experience and has trained with Cheng. Don't be careless!"

Xiao Yuzhou took off his shirt, warmed up by punching the air, and laughed, "Only started recently? Then am I his senior?"

Mitsuyoshi Koishi nodded, "That's true, so don't embarrass yourself in front of your juniors!"

"Of course!"

Xiao Yuzhou smiled and agreed, then took off his shoes and stepped into the ring.

Maruk stood on the other side of the ring, already warming up, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

He stepped forward and bumped fists with Imai Kosaku.

"Please give me more advice."

Xiao Yuzhou smiled brightly and cheerfully, flexing his wrists.

From outside, Muishi shouted a warning, "Little Maruk, Imai is an expert in jujitsu. You probably haven't fought an opponent like this before, so be careful!"

Xiao Yuzhou turned around helplessly, "Master, whose side are you on?"

Mu Shi said leisurely, "I'm just an off-field referee!"

"..."

Both sides took their positions on either side of the ring.

Imai Kosou – 171cm tall and 68kg, he is considered to be of a smaller build among fighters.

But compared to the robust and tall Maruk, Xiaoyu's aura was in no way weaker, possessing the arrogance unique to a genius athlete.

This kind of sharp edge might be criticized by some "mature people" in society, but for fighters, it is considered an excellent quality.

If you don't even have confidence in your own fists, how can you dare to throw a punch?
"Maruk, a veteran of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts School, huh...?"

Xiaoyuzhou adjusted his breathing and said with a faint smile, "If I could, I would really like to have a match with his coach—that Shiraki Cheng!"

"He's said to be a master who can spar with my master. I might have a hard time winning, but fighting him would definitely be a lot of fun..."

"..."

Hearing Kouyu's mutterings, Kousei Mitsuyo's gaze darkened slightly.

That's it! My disciple doesn't understand yet, and with his naive mindset that "fighting is fun," he can't possibly defeat his master or Shiramu Cheng.

We must have an even stronger fighting spirit to seize victory!
Of course, it's useless for others to tell you about this; you have to experience it yourself to understand it.

This is also one of the reasons why Mushi brought Xiaoyu to the exchange match.

"……So."

Mitsuyo Koishi raised his right hand, signaling to the two, "Ready—Go!"

With his hands outstretched and arms and body slightly lowered, Xiao Yuzhou assumed the starting stance of Jiu-Jitsu, focusing all his attention.

Come on! Let's have a fun match!
—This is what the microcosm is thinking "now".

And in the next second...

Swish!
What came head-on was Maruk's tightly clenched fist.

Xiao Yuzhou quickly raised his arms to block.

boom!
The fist struck Xiaoyuzhou's forearm, instantly causing a large red swelling. Its speed and power far exceeded Xiaoyuzhou's expectations, causing him to widen his eyes in pain.

? !
Xiao Yuzhou was immediately startled.

It's not that he hasn't fought against burly men; on the contrary, he has had specialized training and has more experience fighting heavyweight opponents than the average person!

But Maruk's move was extremely decisive and faster than Xiao Yuzhou had anticipated!
And—it's so heavy!
Maruk's punch was so powerful!

"Brother Cheng taught Maruk to fight according to his own heart. Maruk has remembered that!"

Maruk's steps were light and nimble, forming a unique stance. "So, Maruk told Maruk—I don't want to lose!"

Bang! Swish!
Two consecutive punches and kicks overwhelmed Xiaoyuzhou, leaving him unable to retaliate and forcing him to retreat to the edge of the ring.

At the critical moment, Xiaoyuzhou crouched down and swept his leg, using both legs to clamp down on Maruk's right leg. The two fell to the ground together, thus entering the ground battle.

Ground offense and defense are Imai Kosou's forte, which is why he is known as the "King of Strangulation"!

Swish!
Just as Xiaoyuzhou was about to turn over and ride him, Maruk lifted him up by thrusting his hips, causing him to stagger forward a few steps, widening the distance between them once again.

"laugh--!"

Maruk exhaled hot breath through his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he glared ahead, startling Xiao Yuzhou.

That was definitely not the gaze of an ordinary fighter; the desire for victory was almost overflowing, and there was even a suffocating feeling of a tsunami rushing towards you!

Is this a senior member of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy?!

How intense will his coach, Shiraki Sei, be in his fighting spirit?
Xiao Yuzhou gritted his teeth and defended, occasionally throwing punches. Both sides were on the offensive and defensive, but it was difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

……

……

Drop drop!
The stopwatch started, and the brief five-minute exchange match came to an end.

Xiaoyuzhou's arms were red, swollen, and throbbing from the beating, and Maruk was also exhausted. The two smiled at each other and then gasped for breath.

"So strong—!"

Xiao Yuzhou was having a great time practicing. He stood up and looked around, asking curiously, "Maruk, where's your coach? Didn't he come to watch our practice? I want to hear his opinion of me."

“Brother Cheng, he…”

Maruk was also puzzled. He got up, wiped his sweat, and looked around. Finally, he saw Bai Mucheng on the other side of the open space.

At this moment, Bai Mucheng stood still, with nothing in front of him, punching and kicking at the air in front of him.

He was sweating profusely, clearly having been playing for some time, but he showed no sign of stopping to rest; instead, he played more and more intensely.

This was just an ordinary exercise, but in the eyes of Maruk and Xiaoyuzhou, it had an unusually "intense" impact, and both of them felt it was a bit strange.

suddenly--

boom!
As if struck head-on, Shiramu Cheng leaned back violently, his nose bleeding.

What's happening here! ?

Xiaoyuzhou and Maruk stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to comprehend this incredible sight.

Mitsuyo Koishi, standing behind the two, shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand and exclaimed in amazement, "Oh, Shadow Boxing! It's Shadow Boxing at an extremely high level!"
