Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 186 The Challengers
"This is finally starting to get interesting!"

"This day is going by so slowly..."

"Ah! Does that Gaolang also fight in the grey area?"

"It's a pity there's only a boxing ring today; we probably won't get to witness the [God of Fighting]'s Muay Thai!"

"..."

The audience members were buzzing with discussion.

A lively and beautiful female host is indeed a perfect match for a boxing ring, and she can bring the atmosphere to a climax with just a few words.

……

……

offstage.

Lamar glanced at the host a few times, then smiled at Katahara Metsudo and said, "She looks a lot like you. Is she your granddaughter?"

"She is the daughter of my husband and his mistress, named Qiaoxiang."

Miedang was a little embarrassed and waved his hand, saying in a low voice, "His work skills are quite good, and he can handle all kinds of troublesome events, so he is currently in charge of the activities department of the Kengan Association."

Lalma leaned against the mahjong table, resting his chin on his hand. "His hosting skills are indeed excellent—especially under these messy rules."

"There's no other way, after all, it's a warm-up for the 'Kengan Zetsumei Street Championship'."

Mie Tang tugged at his mustache. "Since the start of the competition, many guys have been eager to make their move, including some mediocre individuals who overestimate their abilities."

"I don't want the 'Death Match' to be of a lower standard, otherwise it will affect the reputation of the Kengan Association, for example, by having some idiots who can't even break free of their handcuffs..."

"Therefore, I intend to borrow your sword, Prince Lalma's sword, to show those fools with ulterior motives what a 'fighting warrior' really is."

"..."

Lalma narrowed his eyes. "Was this your plan from the beginning?"

Mie Tang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'm just taking it one step at a time!"

"Ha ha……"

Lalma shook his head helplessly, "So, who will fight Yu Zhi's 'Sword' in the boxing ring? Is it that King Liehai? Or Bai Mucheng?"

Metsudo looked at Tokugawa, but Tokugawa shrugged. "I don't know. I've never thought about it."

Lalma was taken aback. "Huh?"

"I merely suggested bringing them together to see what kind of sparks would fly, which led to the organization of a boxing exhibition—that's all."

Tokugawa laughed and said, "But in order to avoid an awkward silence, I have indeed invited a challenger, the 'heavyweight champion' who volunteered himself a few days ago."

"I see."

Lamar understood and looked towards Gaolang backstage from afar. "That's right. If it's 'boxing rules only,' you won't be able to fight at your full strength either, will you?"

"Let's treat this as a warm-up activity..."

"..."

……

In the arena.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Katahara Sayaka decided to introduce today's challenger, "Now, please welcome..."

"Career: Nine fights, eight knockouts. Except for his debut fight, he has knocked down his opponents every time."

"A genuine, active heavyweight fighter—Gary!!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, there were still several seconds of silence without any response.

The challenger didn't appear?
Where did Gary go?
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little cold, Katahara Sayaka's expression remained unchanged, but her mind was racing as she thought of a solution.

The audience members were all influential figures, including boxers, club owners, agents, and martial arts practitioners from various schools.

Most of them are related to the "underworld," and some are even members of the Kengan Association, so they can't be fooled.

Superior qualities are playing a role.

She Xiang had noticed earlier that a few people in the audience were also eager to make a move, and this was the perfect opportunity to save the day.

"Gary has disappeared. Is he avoiding the battle? Or has something happened to him?"

"But in any case, this boxing ring will never lack challengers, and there will always be strong individuals who want to come up and experience it for themselves!"

"Come on, step onto the ring!"

Shexiang could say this entirely out of trust and understanding of her father, Katahara Metsudo, and Tokugawa Mitsunari.

These two definitely didn't come empty-handed!

And this is indeed the case.

After confirming that the challenger was nowhere to be found, others began to get restless and stepped onto the ring one after another.

To Shexiang's relief, someone really did come to her rescue.

But to Shaoxiang's surprise, there were quite a few people who came to her rescue, a total of four, which far exceeded her expectations.

"What on earth is this..."

Sheka's gaze swept over the four people, first noticing Shiraki and Retsu Kaioh. The third was someone Sheka knew well, and also a registered fighter of the Kengan Association—Rito.

The fourth one is somewhat special; he is a mysterious man wearing a hood, with a slightly hunched posture, and has no intention of revealing his true identity for the time being.

……

……

The sudden appearance of the four men on stage made Tokugawa grin from ear to ear. "Hehe, how exactly will they fight in a boxing ring?"

Katahara Metsudou, standing to the side, also clapped repeatedly, saying, "What an exciting arena!"

Meanwhile, King Larma XIII casually played with the end of his hair, saying, "I really like frank and strong people."

Arisa, standing to the side, was raising her hand and shouting, "Go for it, bro!"

"..."

Behind the four, the guards from the three families all turned their gazes to You Sha, each one of them looking on with a mixture of awe and disbelief.

What an amazing young girl!
He was on par with those three, and even dominated the gambling table, almost winning against all three!

Who exactly is this girl?
……

……

at the same time.

The atmosphere in the ring had shifted from the previous awkward silence to the other extreme.

The four challengers were on edge, staring at each other, none of them willing to back down an inch.

Before the incense could even be coordinated, Rito was the first to lose his composure.

He was always arrogant, and having just defeated another heavyweight boxer—though not Gary, it gave him plenty of confidence.

"I said, the opportunity to challenge the boxer should be mine, after all, I've already won one."

Rito, who is 188cm tall, scanned the room, glancing past Shiraki Cheng, who is 187cm tall, and the tall and thin mysterious man, before finally settling on Retsu Kaioh, who is 176cm tall.

Because of his attire, Retsu Kaioh's physique doesn't accentuate his muscles.

"I'm talking to you, buddy."

Rito leaned closer to Retsu Kaioh, "According to the order in which we just came on stage, I was the first challenger, right?"

"..."

Retsu no Ueshi narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Li Ren ignored the mysterious man and turned to Bai Mucheng, "And this fellow, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Bai Mucheng did not respond to the provocation. Instead, he took out his business card, handed it to Liren, and shook hands with him. "Brother Liren, have you heard of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy?"

Rito: "..."

Rihito: "...?"

baffling.

However, due to Bai Mucheng's sudden action, the originally fiery provocation seemed to have been doused with cold water.

Rito stood frozen in place, and finally, helplessly, went to Sayaka, "Sayaka-chan, what should we do in this situation? I should definitely be the one to challenge first!"

Sheath Incense smiled helplessly.

Having hosted numerous Kengan matches, she could naturally tell that all four of them, including Rito, wanted to experience Kaoran's boxing and there was no way they would voluntarily withdraw.

"In that case..."

She Xiang came up with a solution: "Since we're rarely on stage, why not have a quick 'temporary elimination match'? We'll decide the winner using the rules of a 'single boxing match'."

"Two teams of two will compete in a final showdown, and the winners will have the right to challenge for the boxing title!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Rito, in a very casual and familiar manner, ruffled Shexiang's hair and said, "Oh, you're quite clever!"

The mysterious man shuddered and whispered, "Okay."

Retsu Kaioh's eyes blazed with fury. "I don't care!"

Shiramu Cheng clapped his fists together. "Not bad, fantastic!"

……

……

Once the rules were finalized, the order of battles was determined by drawing lots on site.

"The First Decision—"

She Xiang looked at the two beside her and raised her hand to indicate: "Shiraki Cheng, yes, Nakata Ichiro!"

Rito's expression stiffened. "Miss Sheka, please don't call me by my real name..."

"Alright, Nakata Ichiro!"

She Xiang tidied her disheveled hair.
