Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 178 Unstoppable Footsteps
Spek's fists and feet are so powerful they could even shatter the Statue of Liberty; it's no joke.

Even though he can adapt using "parkour" techniques, Shiraki Sei still has multiple bone fractures, especially in his jaw and arms. His condition is poor, and he is simply not capable of handling such a major life event.

Helpless, Wu Fengshui could only obediently send Bai Mucheng to the hospital.

……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Last night, Mitsuyoshi Mushi first had a great time in the park, and then went home and had a great time on his own. He was satisfied both psychologically and physically, and this morning he looked radiant.

He brought breakfast, fruit, and other gifts to visit Bai Mucheng at the hospital.

The two reunited, and Mu Shi checked Bai Mu Cheng's bones again.

After confirming that everything was alright, they went together to another ward to visit Maruk and Imai Kosuke.

Maruk recovered extremely quickly and was already able to get out of bed and walk around. Xiaoyuzhou was also able to sit on the bed and chat. Both of them were in excellent spirits.

"Great, fantastic!"

Shiraki encouraged the two, then turned to look at Mushi Mitsuyo and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Mu Shi scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, your opponent—that Spake—has already been taken care of by the two of us."

Xiao Yuzhou sighed helplessly, "It's okay, I was mentally prepared for it after all..."

Maruk clenched his fist and said seriously, "Yes, it's okay, Maruk is ready for the next match!"

These words puzzled Mu Shi.

"Huh, didn't you understand?"

He explained to Maruk, "Sbek can no longer fight; his bones are very old, and once broken, they can't be repaired."

But Xiaoyuzhou understood what Maruk meant. "No, Master, Maruk is talking about the next 'battle' itself, not revenge against Spek."

"That's it..."

Mu Shi understood immediately and looked at Xiao Yu Zhou with a smile, "So, what does my good disciple think?"

"me too."

Xiaoyuzhou tried clenching his fist, feeling the power within, and unconsciously smiled.

“Thanks to Maruk for protecting me, I was able to survive the battle with Spek, but even so, I was not afraid of the fight.”

"Isn't it weird?"

Xiao Yuzhou muttered to himself as he lay back down on the hospital bed, "Sure enough, it's really strange..."

"..."

Seeing that their members and apprentices had overcome this hurdle, Shiraki Cheng and Mushi Guangshi were finally relieved.

The two left together, leaving Maruk and Xiaoyuzhou to rest in the ward.

……

……

Coincidentally, the "near-death" Sibek, who was detained by the Metropolitan Police Department, was being placed in a special ward next door.

He had countless broken bones in his body, all broken by Mushi Mitsuyoshi, and his skull was also fractured by Shiraki Sei.

Despite suffering from multiple fatal wounds, he managed to stay alive thanks to his monstrous physique, but he was already in a vegetative state.

Meanwhile, the doctor in charge of caring for Spek discovered something alarming.

How should we explain this phenomenon?

The doctor carefully observed the data on various instruments. "When he was brought here last night, he looked to be at most around fifty years old."

"However, in fact, he is already 97 years old."

The doctor examined Spek's arm and saw that his once full and huge hand had visibly shrunk.

"In those few short hours, he aged rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye."

"Especially just now."

The doctor had no idea that "just now" referred to the moment when Maruk and Kouyu said they were still looking forward to the next battle.

"I guess in a few days, Spek will look like his actual age, right? He should be a skinny old man."

The doctor looked at the intern standing to the side.

Seeing the incredulous look on the other person's face, the doctor laughed.

"There are indeed no similar cases in official records, but there is a rumor—"

"In 1976, off the coast of California, treasure hunter Jack Lee Biond found the shipwreck he had been searching for for more than 30 years."

"It is said that the ship sank in 1844. Its name was 'St. Clyne,' and it was a British merchant ship."

"The antiques and jewelry that were salvaged totaled more than 200 boxes—estimated at at least 70 billion yen based on market prices at the time."

"Biande's thoughts were published in the newspapers at the time—"

"He said: 'When I opened the box and saw the treasure, I was so excited I almost had an orgasm!'" The doctor paused.

"Originally, this report was just taken as a tasteless joke and laughed off."

"However, not long afterward, these words gained an unusual degree of credibility."

"The reason is... Biond died of old age!"

"The incident occurred fourteen days after the discovery of the treasure. The news of his death shocked everyone, even his wife of twenty years, who found it hard to accept."

"The facts discovered later on his insurance certificate shocked the world."

"This healthy middle-aged man who deeply loves the sea—Bionde—is actually 88 years old!"

"..."

The intern was deeply shocked by what the doctor said.

Although it's considered a strange tale or gossip, coming from a doctor who's a big name in the field, and with the real-life example of Spek, it has a very high degree of credibility.

Whether that story is true or false, one thing will not change—

The doctor looked at Sbek.

"Although he's still clinging to life, he'll probably die of old age or be executed by law soon, right?"

In other words—he was defeated with satisfaction.

……

……

The next day, when I was discharged from the hospital.

Bai Mucheng stopped in front of Sibek's ward and knocked on the door casually.

"..."

There was no response from inside the room.

Looking through the window in the door, Spek was still lying in bed, his body so thin and emaciated that he looked as if he would die at any moment and would never be able to fight again.

"Sbek can't keep going..."

"But sure enough—I wanted to keep playing."

What is power?

Shiramu slung his backpack over his shoulder and swayed as he walked out of the hospital.

As the sunlight streamed in, Bai Mucheng suddenly recalled what Xiaoyuzhou had said and couldn't help but agree with it.

"Yes, we're really strange."

"It's obvious to everyone that what we're doing is dangerous, but we still want to continue doing it."

What is strength?

—As long as we keep thinking about this question, we will never stop searching for the answer!

"Great, fantastic!"

Bai Mucheng took a light breath, grinned leisurely, and strode towards the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

"I want to have another match..."

……

……

Death row inmate, Spek, is defeated!
Winner: [Battle Spirit] Shiraki Sei!

This news, after being notarized by the referees of the Kengan Association, naturally spread quickly to those in the know about the "Kengan Fatal Street Championship".

Although there had been contestants who had already decided their victories before this, and some had even lost to other death row inmates, Spek's defeat still caused quite a stir.

……

……

The Tokugawa family residence.

Tokugawa Mitsunari and Katahara Metsudo—

The two old gentlemen were enjoying tea together when they learned of this news. They found it amusing, but also felt a pang of regret.

The reason is simple: neither of them witnessed the battle firsthand.

Mie Tang fanned himself helplessly, "It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is an 'unexpected' real combat situation..."

Tokugawa suddenly had an idea, "In that case, let's find some interesting opponents to meet; they won't refuse!"

Mie Tang nodded, "Heh heh, I see, that makes sense."

Tokugawa grinned broadly, "Hehe, it's going to be very lively!"
