Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 188 Actor
"..."

What happened?
pain……

My face hurts so much, and it's so sore...

Nosebleed.

After an unknown period of time, the rational person's consciousness finally regained its ability to "hear".

He vaguely heard someone calling him from beside him, so he tried to open his eyes. His vision blurred in the darkness, but eventually became clear.

"The rational player!"

"Hey, hey! Are you alright?!"

Rito then opened his eyes and found himself lying on a rest mat with his boxing gloves behind his head, while the staff next to him were calling out urgently.

"Rin, can you hear me? Should we call an ambulance?"

"..."

Rito paused, sat up from the ground, and suddenly felt like his head was about to fall apart.

"It hurts!! It hurts so much~~~~"

He scratched his head, looked around, and then remembered that he was still in the boxing arena.

then……

It seems like he's fighting Shiraki Cheng? Where is he?

Seeing that Rito looked bewildered, a staff member quickly reminded him, "Um... the match is over, and Shiraki is resting in his seat. The second match is about to begin."

"..."

Rito blinked, feeling his eyelids swell, and his previous memories gradually returned.

To be honest, he doesn't know how to box, let alone be as graceful and agile as a professional athlete.

Therefore, the strategy chosen by the person in question is to take the blows from the opponent and then fight back desperately, a tactic that has been proven effective before.

To his utter surprise, even though he was prepared to be hit and was fully focused, he still couldn't withstand Bai Mucheng's heavy punches.

In that instant, Rito even felt that Shiraki Cheng's target was not him, but something "more ferocious," and even revealed a ferocious killing intent.

"A right fist? I didn't see it at all..."

Li Ren gritted his teeth and stood up, his body still trembling slightly, but the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

I was actually scared?!

Dissatisfied!

If Kengan were to actually fight—unleashing the "Ten-Finger Razor" technique—then he would definitely have a fighting chance!
With this thought in mind, Rito reluctantly turned away, intending to find Shiraki Seiji for their second duel.

……

……

What happened?
pain……

Wait, I've been defeated again?!

Rito suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly, drawing helpless glances from the surrounding staff.

He remembered again!

Shiramu Cheng did not refuse the challenge, but the moment he said he wanted to have a "real fight," he threw another punch, the fist grazing Shiramu Cheng's chin.

Then, Rin's brain experienced a violent tremor, his eyes rolled upwards, and he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

I lost again?
But it felt like Shiraki Cheng's punch was far less terrifying than the "previous punch".

"..."

Rito struggled to his feet, looked around, and finally found Shiramu Cheng and the others. He then staggered over to them.

Upon seeing Li Ren approach, Wu Fengshui nudged Bai Mucheng with his elbow and exclaimed, "Wow, he really is a sturdy guy. He can still stand up after being beaten twice."

"……good."

Bai Mucheng rested his head on Wu Fengshui's shoulder, turned to look at Liren, and asked, "Want to continue?"

Rito scratched his head. "I do want to play, but you seem to be thinking about something? Are you troubled?"

"It's not too much of a problem, it's just that when people ask me, I can't help but keep thinking about it—"

Bai Mucheng looked up at the ceiling, his eyes reflecting the light from the ceiling lights. "Someone asked me how I should walk that 'path to pursuing power'."

"..."

Li Ren blinked. "I don't understand. Is this a philosophical question?"

"Ha! Great, fantastic!"

Shiraki was amused by this answer and invited Rito to sit and watch the game together. Yusa then tossed him some potato chips and cola.

……

……

At the same time, on the stage.

Retsu Kaioh and the hooded mystery man took to the stage to prepare for the second "boxing match".

Just as Katahara Sayaka, who was in charge of the event, was about to introduce the two parties, she suddenly noticed that the mysterious hooded man seemed to be even "shorter".

"……what?"

Just as they were wondering, the hooded mysterious man slowly stepped forward, and his physique underwent a visible change, as if he grew taller with each step.

In the end, he transformed from a hunched old man into a strong and muscular man standing at 179cm tall!
"……Huh?!"

The entire audience was stunned. The mysterious man lifted his hood, revealing a young face with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and slightly upturned hair.

"Oh dear, did I scare you?"

The man looked out the window and realized that the sun had set. He couldn't help but sigh with regret, "A duel at sunset is quite charming; I really like it."

"..."

Retsukai narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Sheath Fragrance quickly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, who is this contestant...?"

"My name is Chiba Takayuki."

The man took off his shirt, revealing his muscular body. "People call me 'No-Face'."

"..."

Seeing that Retsukai-oh didn't respond, Chiba Takayuki took the initiative to provoke him, "Martial arts master, you might wonder why I have such a nickname?"

"You'd better look carefully..."

Chiba Takayuki's tone suddenly changed, "Look carefully."

In that instant, under everyone's watchful eyes, Chiba Takayuki's entire "face" suddenly changed, becoming exactly the same as that of the "God of War" Gaolang!
Not only that, the "Gaolang" on the stage started throwing punches, and the jab movements were no different from those of the real Gaolang!
Magic? Hypnosis?
"Do not."

Chiba Takayuki's tone changed again, becoming arrogant and ferocious, "Not just boxing, I can become 'other people' too!"

That tone and demeanor were almost identical to Li Ren's!

……

……

“That Chiba Takayuki, he’s an ‘actor’.”

Wu Fengshui turned slightly to the side, wrapping his arm around Bai Mucheng's head to make him more comfortable, and began to introduce:

"In the yakuza world, there exists a race of people known as 'actors,' who completely impersonate others and engage in crimes such as fraud."

"It is said that skilled 'actors' can investigate the target's personal information from various angles, and the effect is so good that even close friends and family members can hardly tell."

"That guy must be the fighting type among the 'actors'."

……

……

Sheka announced the start of the match, but Chiba Takayuki did not rush to attack.

"Once I've seen someone else's movements, I can reproduce them 100% repeatedly. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chiba Takayuki stared at Retsukai-oh, "The current 'Final Match' has a long schedule, so I have plenty of time to gather intelligence and master each of your skills."

"Especially at the beginning, I also discovered my secret weapon—"

"That's you!"

Chiba Takayuki turned to the audience and gestured to Shiraki Cheng, "I have studied your past battles in detail and have finally concluded that you are the best solution that I first imitated!"

"The fighting techniques you possess cover a wide range of areas, allowing me to continue fighting others and thoroughly explore the techniques of all of you!"

"I look forward to fighting you."

"And now, do you understand? Retsu Kaioh."

Chiba Takayuki turned forward and said, “Since the start of the competition, I have repeatedly studied the techniques of at least 63 fighters, including many masters with specialized skills.”

"What you are about to face is not 'Chiba Takayuki,' but a 'monster chimera' formed by more than 63 fighters!!"

"..."

Having said this, Retsu no Ue finally reacted.

He first glanced at Chiba Takayuki, then looked at Shiraki Sei in the audience, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"An amateur who only knows how to imitate, now he wants to sway me with words? He's just like a child who never grew up."

"You want to make your opponent suspicious, then wary, and finally hesitant, and then win by imitating their moves."

"What an adorable tactic."

King Lie Hai smiled faintly, "However, the daily training of a martial artist includes eliminating distracting thoughts. We will not underestimate any opponent, but we also cannot misjudge anyone."

"We foresaw your little scheme four thousand years ago!"

Retsukai stepped forward.

The match had already begun, and Chiba Takayuki dared not be careless. He decisively threw a punch, but Retsu Kaioh easily dodged it by moving his feet.

Swish!
Retsu Kaioh approached Chiba Takayuki from the front, covering Chiba Takayuki's face with the inside of his left gauntlet, completely obscuring his vision.

"No matter how many faces there are, the essence of the battle will not change."

"You treat the ring as a 'performance stage' and even dare to think you can defeat me with that? This is an insult to four thousand years of martial arts. I will make you taste the bitter fruit!"

Snapped……

When Chiba Takayuki's vision returned, he could no longer see Retsu Kaioh.

Suddenly, right next to Chiba Takayuki, a boxing glove gently pressed against his lower left jaw, followed by a whisper.

"Without any strength..."

call out!
Retsukaiou unleashed a powerful punch, striking Chiba Takashi's chin.

The latter felt dizzy and disoriented, and all that remained before his eyes was darkness.
