Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 213 The Tenet of Empty Hands
"……what?"

Upon hearing Lie Haiwang's words, everyone in the courtyard was taken aback.

Dorian is the "Master of Fist" who earned the title of Aquaman!?

As people involved in underground fighting techniques, they all had some understanding of "boxing methods".

That's a truly vast field of knowledge!

I've heard that there's a training method for "rocks" called rock-hitting.

Using bare hands and fists, he shaved off the irregular edges of the rocks.

Transform one's own body into props...

Thump! Thrust! Strik! Kick! And so on!

If one's hands and feet are injured, it means that one's skills are not yet up to par. One can only work harder to overcome all the hardships that cannot be expressed in words!
Ultimately, the hard rock is like butter or fruit to the cultivator, breaking at the slightest touch!
At this point, the huge rock will gradually become like a "sphere" under the hammering, showing the skill of the rock-breaker.

"I've heard that the Rock-Striking Technique of [Fist Hero] Retsukaioh is a huge obsidian with no sharp edges and a smooth, round surface. To be able to do this with just punches and kicks is truly amazing. It's a pity I've never had the chance to see it."

Yuji Doppo looked at Dorian and murmured, "I never expected that the rock-breaking technique of another 'master of boxing' would actually be a 'tunnel cave' that runs through the mountain."

"..."

Dorian straightened up, his gaze low. "Forty years ago, I broke down the mountain gate and left the training ground. I heard that more than ten years later, a rare martial arts prodigy has appeared there."

"That prodigy became the third person to inherit the name of the Sea King, after Liu Haiwang, the God of Fist, and myself."

"—Retsu Kaioh."

"I only remembered you when we met. I didn't expect you to be here."

Dorian raised his chin and said calmly, "So, do you want to fight me again, the real me?"

"..."

King Liehai paused for a moment, then said, "Even if you have committed a heinous crime, I cannot break the rules. We martial arts practitioners must never fight among ourselves."

"……snort."

Dorian sighed softly and said no more.

Seeing this, Doppo cracked his neck. "Since Retsu doesn't want to do it, let me go first."

Before the words were even out of their mouths, everyone suddenly noticed that a figure had acted first, taking advantage of the moment when Retsu was lost in thought, and went behind Dorian.

Snapped!
A hand patted Dorian on the shoulder.

"?!"

Dorian was startled and turned to see Katsumi Inochi's face.

"Hey buddy, what are you staring at?"

Swish!
Katsumi raised his leg and delivered a high kick, striking Dorian in the face as Dorian was about to turn around.

With a loud "bang," Dorian was kicked, his nose bleeding, and he staggered back a few steps.

Before he could regain his balance, Katsumi suddenly crouched down and tripped Dorian, knocking the tall man to the ground.

Pfft!
Dorian landed on his back where there was a lot of broken glass, so his back was cut in several places, and he frowned in pain.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw Keji throw the aluminum can of tea in his hand, which hit his jaw. His mind went blank for a moment, and his defenses were breached.

Immediately, Katsumi jumped up and delivered a powerful kick to Dorian's throat.

"Stop!"

boom!
Dorian was struck in the throat, coughing up blood. He clutched his neck and struggled and rolled on the ground, letting out painful howls.

This decisive and ruthless combo was undoubtedly a killing move in karate, and it also made use of the broken glass on the ground and the aluminum can of tea in its hand.

"Dad, is it okay for me to do this?"

Katsumi turned to look at Doppo, "Putting aside honor and pride, and immediately launching an attack without hesitation—this kind of practical thinking is the style of the Shinshinkai!"

Dubu had already stood up and walked to the courtyard gate.

He lowered his head, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips. "This is a good opportunity for you. I also happen to want to show this to the troubled young man, Shiraki. You should both learn from this."

"—The essence of the Divine Heart Society!"

Swish!
Dubu placed his hands on the low wall by the door, then leaped up like a vaulting horse, delivering a forward somersault kick that landed squarely on Dorian's crotch.

boom!
This time, the heel struck Dorian squarely in the groin, causing him to arch his back in pain, his face contorted in even more agony than before.

"Crack——!"

Dorian struggled violently with his limbs, clutching his groin, his whole body spinning on the ground like a top.

Seeing this, Shiraki's eyes lit up. He ignored Dorian's situation and was more curious about what Guji Doppo wanted him to see. Guji Katsumi, on the other hand, couldn't understand why Guji Doppo would do this, especially since Dorian had clearly been completely defeated…

Crack!
Before he could finish his thought, he heard a teeth-grinding noise, like the sound of a taut thread.

Katsumi's arms and legs suddenly tightened, leaving obvious marks on his limbs and even his neck.

It was Dorian fiber!

Before anyone knew it, Dorian had already taken out a lighter, thrown out the fiber at the end, and wrapped it around Katsumi a few times.

Those are fibers only four micrometers thick, lighter to the touch than spider silk, and can cut through a human body with just a little force.

If Yuji hadn't kicked him, Katsumi probably wouldn't have even noticed!
When Dorian realized his scheme had been exposed, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, gripped the lighter tightly, lay on the ground, and pulled himself back forcefully.

Swish!
Blood streaks appeared on Keji's skin, and it looked like he was about to be cut open by the fibers.

Suddenly, Du Bu slashed down with his hand.

cough--!
As soon as the blow landed, the three loops of fiber binding Katsumi were cut off at the same instant and floated back to the ground.

Everyone, including Dorian, was stunned by the scene, while Shiraki Cheng exclaimed how wonderful it was.

"You understand?"

Doppo looked at Dorian and said, "As you can see, karate is about turning your hands and feet into weapons."

"Through a long and tedious process, training day and night, turning fists into blunt weapons, honing hand blades into sharp and resilient ones, and finally transforming them into bladed weapons!"

"At this point, even fibers that can withstand 200 kilograms of tension become unexpectedly boring."

"The principle of 'Karate' is to hold nothing in one's hands!"

Du Bu turned his head and looked at Bai Mucheng again, grinning as he said:
"Brother Bai Mu, if you are still troubled by the 'killing intent' in your moves and wondering how to deal with it, you might as well think about what your 'principle' is."

After finishing his sentence, Doppo told Katsumi to retreat to the courtyard, and then stepped forward to be the third duelist.

"I've kept you waiting, Mr. Neptune. Let's have a go."

He took off his shirt and waited for Dorian to stand up, even until the other man's hand moved away from his crotch and he had barely recovered before he finally began to make his move.

despair!
He charged forward with a single step, unleashing a flurry of rapid punches and kicks at Dorian at a speed so fast it was dazzling, making it difficult to discern the sequence of blows.

Bang bang bang!

The mighty "Martial God's" karate punches and kicks rained down like raindrops, making it hard for Dorian to breathe.

Even though he managed to defend himself with his fists, Doppo still found an opening and landed a straight punch right in Dorian's face, denting his nose and causing him to stagger back several steps with blood flowing freely.

"As expected, the one who walks alone in this foolish land..."

Dorian covered his nose and, instead of using the blood in his palm to launch a sneak attack, threw it to the ground, seemingly no longer intending to resort to such petty tricks.

“If you want to fight me as a karate practitioner, then in principle I should also fight you as a martial artist.”

"--bring it on!"

Dorian gave a low shout and got into a fighting stance.

But to his utter surprise, Dubu raised an eyebrow and withdrew his hand upon seeing this, sighing helplessly, "Is this the end? I was really looking forward to a Sea King-level martial arts master, what a pity..."

After saying that, Dubu turned and left.

Dorian froze, then his face contorted with rage. He roared as he charged toward Doppo, “You think you can run away? Let’s duel!”

"duel?"

Doppo suddenly turned around and delivered a powerful backhand punch to Dorian's abdomen, his fist relaxed.

"I believe you ghost!"

Boom!
Dorian was struck hard in the abdomen, and immediately opened his mouth wide, his throat churning as he vomited out a glass bottle.

Click!

The glass bottle shattered upon hitting the ground, releasing plumes of white smoke, clearly a result of strong acid corrosion.

Dorian still had a sour taste in his throat, waiting for Dubu to step forward so he could launch another sneak attack!
"Hmph, I knew it, it really wasn't as a 'fist master'..."

Ignoring Dorian's retching, Doppo turned and left. "It was quite fun until just now, but it's not fun anymore!"

"..."

As he returned to the courtyard, Gaolang had already gotten up and clapped hands with Dubu, who was passing by.

Snapped!
When Dorian came to his senses, a different man was standing in front of him—positioned in the Philadelphia shell batting stance.

[Battle God] Gaolangwen Savado has arrived!!
