Super Fighting Tokyo.

"Fight!!"

At a command, Sapain raised his fists, bent slightly, and assumed a fighting stance.

At the same time, Bai Mucheng's mind was churning, and the blood vessels in his eyes were like chains, pulling at his pupils and causing them to tremble violently.

All engines are running!

Chapter 389: Bare Knife!

Shiraki's posture and style remained unchanged.

Stand sideways with your weight centered between your feet. Press your left arm forward and down, with your left hand slightly open. Use your left shoulder to protect your chin. Keep your right arm close to your ribs and clench your right fist.

This stance is slightly looser than Long's, but more solid than Luke's.

"..."

"They're here! They're here!!"

Sapain noticed Shiraki's eyes.

Investigating and analyzing opponents—this is something even Baki Hanma would do, and of course, Shiraki Shōka and Sapain would do the same.

Before the match, Sapain and Yorozuka Mitsumitsu watched the recording of Shiraki Sho's Kengan match.

Therefore, Sapain could certainly recognize that Shiraki Cheng had entered a special state called "Engine".

"Going all out from the start? Just what I wanted!!"

Sapain adjusted his movements.

From a relatively balanced side-standing stance, shift to leaning forward, with the left forefoot touching the ground, the left leg in a lunge position, the right leg pushing off the ground to build up power, and both fists raised to shoulder level.

This is an extremely straightforward aggressive stance.

In the realm of combatants, Sapain's physique is considered to be of medium to small size.

But he is widely recognized as the type of fighter who will relentlessly press forward!

chap!

Sapain's right foot, positioned further back, grounded on the sand, preparing to push off and surge forward.

But the next second—

"...!!"

Sapain's eyes widened suddenly as he stared intently at Bai Mucheng, his expression slightly surprised.

He had fought 17 matches in the Kengan ring and countless other underground fights, and had long since developed the corresponding intuition.

Now, facing Shiraki Cheng, who was poised for battle, Sapain's intuition told him—

We can't break through!

If I just crash into it directly, I'll definitely get a counterattack!

Even if you're not careful...

We'll lose!

Sapain, who stepped onto this ring for the sake of his grandfather, the village, and his brothers and sisters, was under immense psychological pressure.

No matter what, he had to give it his all and win!

"what!"

Sapain grinned, but instead of charging directly, he pushed off the ground to the side and quickly circled around Bai Mucheng.

Swish swish!

Its speed was extremely fast, darting around the stationary Bai Mucheng as if it could launch a fatal attack at any moment.

Sheath Fragrance explained, "Just as expected, Sapain made the first move! He really intended to strike first!"

……No.

The other two experts watching the battle—Retsu Kaioh and Gaolang—both denied this.

Although Sheath Fragrance is not an amateur, only top-level close-combat experts can see such details.

King Lie Hai pursed his lips and explained to Wu Fengshui in a deep voice, "Those dazzling footsteps were just a cover-up!"

"But no matter which angle he attacks from, it seems he will be met with a counterattack from Shiraki."

"The Burmese guy realized that he would lose if he was even slightly careless!!"

Lie Haiwang changed the subject, "But this seemingly cautious approach actually prolongs the time for the first strike, something the Burmese guy isn't good at."

He looked to his side, “Mr. Gaolang, that Sapain, he…”

"..."

At this moment, Gaolang frowned, even grinding his teeth, his face full of displeasure. "That idiot, did he have to fight like that?!"

"This is bad—!!"

"..."

Boom!

Sapain rushed up behind Shiramu Cheng, stomped his foot hard, and strode forward, shouting, "First move wins!"

Swish!

In an instant, he had already closed in on Bai Mucheng, his right fist clenched and ready to unleash its power.

But the next second, in Sapain's line of sight, Shiramu Cheng had already turned around and was facing him, maintaining his stance.

...Your steps were read!?

Then let's have a showdown!

Sapain gritted his teeth and threw a powerful punch forward.

At the same time, Bai Mucheng shifted his weight backward, his right leg took a lunge position, and his left leg bent inward.

Raise your left elbow and press down your wrist, using your forearm to flick horizontally.

[Aura Parry]!

Snapped!

Bai Mucheng's forearm precisely pressed down on Sapain's wrist, deflecting and neutralizing the force of Sapain's right punch.

Sapain was startled, "Block it...!?"

As a result, his body leaned forward, exposing a huge gap in his chest and abdomen.

Bai Mucheng clenched his right fist, unleashing a powerful strike with over 36 trillion cells in his body, accompanied by a thunderous roar that cut through the air.

"Stop!!"

[Strike with extreme force] —!

Boom—!!

A deafening explosion echoed across the arena.

puff!

Sapain was struck hard in the chest by Shiramu Cheng's heavy punch, and his whole body seemed to be deformed, dented and flying backward.

Swish...

Sapain flew backward for more than ten meters, his back slamming into the iron railing with a loud thud. He leaned against the railing and slumped to the ground.

"Huh...huh..."

The heavy breathing could be heard from a great distance, filled with the stench of blood and hoarseness.

Sapain's head drooped, a few drops of saliva dripping from his mouth, mixed with streaks of bright red blood, making him look extremely gruesome.

To the untrained eye, Bai Mucheng's punch was terrifying beyond belief.

Those in the know can see the details, so both Gaolang and Retsu Haiwang understood that Shiraki Cheng's true strength lay in his [battle aura parry] before throwing a punch!

It is precisely because they can parry that they can turn defense into offense!

Shiraki Cheng's eyesight is even better than before, and his control over "rhythm" is even more accurate!

"..."

However, neither laymen nor experts believed that Shiraki Cheng's punch would end the fight.

Because the one who fell to the ground was [Roaring Fighting Spirit] Armored Tomb Sapain!

"drink……"

Sapane, slumped to the ground, let out a series of low moans, followed by a loud shout, "Hey yaaaaaah—!"

He stomped his feet on the ground, stood up abruptly, and spat out the blood in his mouth.

His bloodshot eyes widened, his fighting spirit undiminished.

"..."

"This is Sapain!"

Sheath Incense gripped the microphone, extremely nervous, and began her commentary:

"Sapane's style is not Muay Thai, but Burmese boxing! Also known as Burmese bare-handed boxing!"

"Although it shares many techniques with Muay Thai, Burmese boxing matches are different from Muay Thai. They do not use gloves and allow headbutts and throws."

"And because it's unarmed, almost all attacks are undefended; it's a completely offensive style of boxing!"

"In the rules of Burmese boxing, there is only knockout!"

As he spoke, Sapain had already come to his senses.

Sheath Incense continued, "The human body is inherently difficult to withstand mutual fighting, and fractures are commonplace in Burmese boxing matches."
