Super Fighting Tokyo.

Hao Hongye laughed and said, "This is really interesting. What are you planning to call this move?"

Shiramu clenched his fist, feeling its weight, and replied:

"Strike with extreme force."

"—Based on my masters' 'power generation,' 'vibration,' and 'hard qigong,' the 'striking form' that I've tried to figure out is suitable for me, but it's still in its infancy."

"..."

Gao Hongye nodded in agreement and smiled, "If you need help, especially with the human body and exercise, you can contact me anytime."

Bai Mucheng thanked him.

He turned his head and saw many familiar faces.

Besides the few that Pegasus wanted to see, there were some other familiar faces lurking in an inconspicuous corner.

The liar Baku eating pickled plums, and Maruk who happened to follow them on the street;

The chairman of the Teiai Group, Kazutaka Hyodo, who has become interested in the Kengan Association, along with Yukio Tonegawa, the No. 2, who accompanied him here;

And then there's the guy who's smoking a cigarette while smiling and greeting Shiraki Shigeru—[The Man of the Divine Realm] Akagi Shigeru!

……

……

Once the irrelevant spectators had completely left, some people couldn't hold back any longer.

Led by Tokugawa and Metsudo, Sikorsky followed them down from the stands to the empty fighting arena.

Four other people also accompanied them.

Dorian, with a leisurely expression;

A middle-aged man with a stern face;

A tall, imposing, bald man;

And a handsome, tall, thin young man.

The five people who appeared were five death row inmates who went to Tokyo together because of their synchronicity!

"welcome……"

Welcome!

Standing in the arena, Tokugawa could not hide his ecstatic joy; his excitement was so great that his body trembled slightly.

Sikorski looked around, at the other four people who had come up on stage, and at the others who remained in the audience.

He turned to Tokugawa and asked, "Did you send these people?"

"No, it's not me."

Tokugawa grinned, "What summoned them here was the blood that seeped into this arena, and—their own passion!"

"Welcome again, everyone!"

Tokugawa picked up the microphone and asked the crowd in the arena—both on and off the stage.

"There's no time to lose. I'd like to ask you to consider a question. Please think it over carefully..."

Why have you come here?

Chapter 154 Rules

Tokyo Dome, six floors below ground.

The ordinary audience members had all left, and the noise had subsided.

Those who remained in the underground arena, either alone or in small groups, did not make much noise.

Despite this, the atmosphere here is like fine wine, becoming richer and more mellow with age.

"..."

Why have you come here?

Tokugawa Mitsunari picked up the microphone and began to ask a question.

Upon hearing this, Dorian, the tall, white old man standing in the arena, glanced around and calmly asked in return:

"Personally speaking, most of the people here are people I'm meeting for the first time. What right do you have to ask us these questions?"

"..."

Tokugawa frankly admitted, "This arena was opened by me."

This straightforward response piqued Dorian's interest, and he laughed heartily, "Then we are the trespassers, and we have to consider your question!"

Tokugawa swallowed hard. "Please, please consider this carefully."

……

……

The five death row inmates on the field clearly knew their answer.

Sikorsky smiled and said, "I was brought here by Katahara Metsudo, and also by your invitation, Tokugawa."

"If I really have to say..."

Dorian sighed, "I have been searching for a place of healing, and I have finally arrived here."

"..."

The tallest and most imposing bald giant, with his eyes darting around, was named: Spek!

"It must be the scent..."

Spek raised the corners of his mouth. "I was drawn here by the aroma."

The sinister-looking middle-aged man, named Liu Longguang, said with a low gaze, "This place is a paradise for martial arts practitioners; everyone should know about it."

Beside him, a lean, tall, red-haired young man named "Dor" casually responded.

"I came here to meet strong 'non-competitive' athletes, following my heart."

"..."

……

Meanwhile, in the audience, whether standing or sitting, people also had their own different answers.

Baki Hanma yawned, "It was you, Grandpa, who told me to come..."

Hao Hongye smiled faintly, her eyes narrowed, "To test my research results."

Kaoru Hanayama held a bottle of whiskey and took a big gulp. "It's just fighting, no reason needed."

The martial arts master known as "Retsukai-oh" remained calm as he said, "I have come as promised, at the invitation of my old friend, Yuji Doppo."

The Aikido master, "Shibukawa Goki," kept his eyes fixed on one of the death row inmates, "Yanagi Ryuko," and muttered with a grin, "Yanagi~~~~~"

"..."

Nogi Hideki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling slightly, "I did it to fulfill my 'wish'!"

The clan leader of the Wu clan, Wu Huiliyang, leaned on his cane with a calm expression. "I'm just here on a job, as always."

Beside him, Wu Fengshui's elder brother, Wu Lei'an, a ferocious outcast of the Wu clan, was grinning from ear to ear. "Kukakaka, of course it's for killing people!"

Gu Haiping, chairman of Gu Hai Pharmaceutical, could not hide his excitement, saying, "I don't want to be left behind by tonight's changes."

Kiyoaki Aguya clenched his fists, memorizing the faces of everyone present. "For justice!"

The long-haired youth standing before [Catman] was tilting his head, his eyes gleaming with an alien light. "I'm here to find the best diamond..."

[The Liar Eater] Baku, crossing his legs, said, "It must be for world peace, right?"

[The Man from the Divine Realm] Shigeru Akagi finished one cigarette and immediately lit another. "I just wanted to see Jojun's boxing match, that's all."

"..."

……

Various answers appeared in the underground arena.

Although he was mostly talking to himself and it was hard to hear from a distance, the family blood in Tokugawa's body was still restless.

"Absolutely wonderful! You are indeed genuine—powerful individuals with exceptional talents!"

Tokugawa trembled with excitement, "In that case, as a 'reward,' I will give you what you desire most!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, some people were puzzled, and some even sneered.

"That's right!"

Tokugawa continued, "Whether you want to be defeated or you want to realize your ambitions..."

"Perhaps it's a desire to become stronger, or a hope to leave a mark on history!"

"Do you want to witness the true nature of people, repay kindness or seek revenge, or prove yourself?"

"—All of this is what I wish to give you!"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the death row inmates, "Spek," couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"whee……"

The tallest of them all looked around, his eyes crinkling with wrinkles from smiling.

"What do you mean by rewarding us for defeat? While there are some amazing experts here, there also seem to be quite a few weaklings!"

He looked up and sized them up, including but not limited to Baku Madarame, Shigeru Akagi, Hideki Nogi, Heihachi Furukai, and others...

Spek chuckled and said, "Does someone who can be killed so easily really deserve to be here?"
