Douluo Dragon King: My Martial Soul is Kamen Rider!

Hyper Kabuto was already prepared, and his kunai spear instantly switched to kunai sword mode, parrying Zhou Yang's attack.

"Clang—" The two kunai swords clashed fiercely, sparks flying as they collided, and the ear-piercing sound of metal scraping against metal echoed along the silent lakeside.

The two armored figures stared at each other, straining their arms as they engaged in a fierce struggle.

Zhou Yang's eyes were more serious than ever before, and a dark golden light faintly flickered around his body. The power of the Demon Realm was rapidly circulating within his body, continuously providing him with powerful strength, and the strength in his arms was also constantly increasing.

With Zhou Yang's sudden burst of power, the previously evenly matched struggle instantly turned into a stalemate. Zhou Yang seized the moment when Hyper Kabuto was exerting force, twisted his wrist, and swung his kunai sword down hard, striking Hyper Kabuto's chest armor and sending countless sparks flying.

Hipa Kabuto was hit and involuntarily staggered back a few steps, but he reacted very quickly. By rolling on the ground, he steadily deflected the force of the blow and was not seriously injured.

Zhou Yang didn't want to give his opponent a chance to breathe, so he pressed his advantage and charged towards Hyper Kabuto, unleashing a barrage of sharp and deadly attacks with his kunai sword. However, Hyper Kabuto quickly got up, switched his kunai gun back to firing mode, and pulled the trigger, firing several high-energy ion beams at Zhou Yang, forcefully repelling him.

After repelling Zhou Yang, Hyper Kabuto didn't pause for a moment. He flashed forward and charged straight at Zhou Yang, swinging his kunai sword again. Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to block. The two kunai swords clashed again, attacking and parrying each other, sparks flying, and the battle became increasingly fierce.

After rounds of parries and attacks, Zhou Yang shrewdly seized an opening in Hyper Kabuto's defenses. The power of Oma Zi-O within him erupted instantly, and the power of time quietly began to circulate. His movements instantly became several times faster. Taking advantage of the moment when Hyper Kabuto was parrying, he flicked his wrist and fiercely knocked the kunai sword out of the opponent's hand.

The kunai sword flew out of his hand, but Hyper Kato paid no attention. He used his fists and feet to launch a rapid and fierce attack on Zhou Yang. His punches were sharp and his kicks were swift and powerful.

After abandoning his kunai sword, Hyper Kabuto's movements became more agile, and his attacks became exceptionally fierce. With a swift kick, Zhou Yang's kunai sword was knocked away.

Zhou Yang quickly adjusted, raised his fists, and the two entered into close-quarters combat.

The two dodged each other's attacks with agility, their blows landing squarely. Zhou Yang sidestepped a heavy punch from Hyper Kato, simultaneously striking him squarely in the chest with a backhand punch; Hyper Kato, not to be outdone, bent over to avoid Zhou Yang's attack, then raised his elbow to strike Zhou Yang's abdomen. The two exchanged blows, each strike landing precisely, each dodge a close call. The sounds of armor clashing and fists striking flesh mingled together, creating a truly awe-inspiring spectacle.

As each of them threw a heavy punch, striking the other's chest, both figures staggered back several steps, their chest armor slightly dented, sparks flying.

Damn, that's ruthless.

Zhou Yang couldn't help but curse inwardly. Today was the most intense fight he had ever faced since the beginning. Even without Hyper Gear's Hyper Time-Up transformation, the test of combat skills alone was incredibly high-pressure.

Not only were Zhou Yang's thoughts active, but his body was too. Without pausing, Zhou Yang deftly tapped the beetle insect device with his fingers, sliding the unicorn back to the other side.

【1, 2, 3】

As the belt emitted a timing sound, Zhou Yang pulled the horn of the insect device again. The red horn on his head instantly accumulated powerful energy, which quickly moved to his right foot along the patterns on the armor.

At the same time, the power of the Demon within Zhou Yang erupted once more, and dark golden light enveloped his body, flowing along his blood vessels and converging at his right foot, where a terrifying power continuously condensed.

【RIDER KICK】

A crisp, finishing-hit sound effect rang out, and almost simultaneously, Hyper Kabuto on the opposite side made the same move, with the exact same sound effect coming from his belt, and his right foot also accumulating terrifying energy.

The two simultaneously raised their right feet, unleashing all the power they had accumulated within them, and kicked fiercely at each other! The two kicks, each containing terrifying energy, collided in mid-air, and a destructive energy burst forth instantly. The shockwave spread outwards, causing huge ripples on the lake's surface. The surrounding trees were swept up by the shockwave, their branches and leaves snapping and flying everywhere.

With a deafening roar, a figure flew out from the center of the explosion, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop—it was Hyper Armor. Zhou Yang, on the other hand, stood firmly in place, his chest heaving violently, his hands hanging limply at his sides, panting heavily, his armor covered in scratches, gleaming faintly.

He composed himself and turned his gaze back to Hyper Kabuto, who slowly stood up from the ground and nodded slightly at him.

Then, the figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared into the air.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand, pulled out the Kabuto Insect Device from his waist, and tossed it gently. The device turned into a red light, flew into the air, and disappeared.

He removed his armor and collapsed to the ground without any regard for his appearance, his limbs outstretched, panting heavily.

"It's finally over."

In his view, Hypa Kato's final nod was an affirmation of him, and also meant that this phase of training had finally come to an end.

Thankfully, I didn't fall into the safe zone, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

This trial can be considered a success, even though I used some tricks. Overall, passing it is a victory.

In the battle just now, he and Hyper Gordo deliberately held back their strength. If they had unleashed their full power, this area would probably have been razed to the ground. The commotion would have alerted the Soul Masters and Spirit Pagoda of East Sea City, which would only cause more trouble.

After resting for about ten minutes, Zhou Yang slowly got up, dusted himself off, and prepared to return to Ya Li's courtyard. Although he had been wearing knight armor, his demonic power had not yet fully awakened, and his body beneath the armor was still that of an ordinary person. The intense fight had left him covered in bruises, aching all over, and in a sorry state.

Fortunately, he had control over the power of the Demon Realm. Zhou Yang took a deep breath and circulated the Demon Realm power within his body. A faint dark golden light enveloped his body, and the power of time quietly took effect. The bruises and soreness on his body rapidly lessened under the repair of the power of time. The bruises gradually faded, and the soreness slowly disappeared. After a moment, his body returned to normal, as if the fierce battle had never happened.

Zhou Yang stretched his limbs, feeling the lightness in his body. A slight smile appeared on his lips. He turned and called for the Extender to come out towards the courtyard. After being out for so long, it was time to go back.
