Super Fighting Tokyo.

In the next second after dodging—

"Stop!"

Bai Mucheng used both legs to propel himself up, leaping into the air with incredible speed, leaving a wisp of white smoke on the ground as he instantly closed in on Sapain.

Bring your right leg together, extend your left knee forward, and thrust your knee forward.

[Sagat Tiger Jump Knee Strike]!

Boom!

Sapain was struck squarely in the face, causing his body to arch backward as blood gushed from his nose in a circular pattern, splattering onto the ring.

He lost control of his body and was about to fall to the ground, so he simply leaned back forcefully, did a backflip, and stood up steadily again.

Whoa!

At the same time, Shiraki Sei also jumped behind Sapain, and the two switched positions.

Compared to Sapain's gruesome coughing up of blood, Shiraki Cheng showed no contempt, but was in a relaxed state and played quite smoothly.

Seeing this, [God of War] Gaolang finally couldn't hold back and angrily shouted from the sidelines, "Get serious, you idiot!!"

"..."

Sapain vaguely heard his old friend's words, but he couldn't care less about anything else. He opened his bloodshot eyes wide, turned around, and delivered a swift low sweep.

call out!

But at the same time, Shiramu Cheng had already pushed off the ground and leaped forward, spinning his body and using the momentum to throw a backhand punch that hit Sapain in the abdomen.

【Jamie O Quick Spin Backhand Punch】!

boom!

The fist embedded itself into Sapain's stomach, intending to send him flying backward.

Sapain clenched his fists, lowered his center of gravity, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his mind only focused on not losing, which revealed a huge flaw in his movements.

whoosh...

Suddenly, Shiraki changed tactics, pushing off the ground with his left foot and using the [Die-Je Feinting Spin Step] to quickly move to the side and circle behind Sapain.

With arms outstretched, the left arm encircles Sapain's neck, while the right arm hooks back and presses down, forming a narrow triangular area to compress the blood vessels in his throat.

Sapa reacted quickly, pulling her hands back to create space and prevent herself from losing consciousness, thus entering a stalemate with Shiramu Cheng.

—The naked choke is half complete!

……

……

Such a thrilling scene made "Village Chief" Yorizuka Mitsumitsu's eyes widen, and he was already sweating profusely with tension.

The old man swallowed hard. "This, this is Bai Mucheng from the Fighting Soul Martial Arts Academy!"

Retsukai frowned. "Impressive, Shiraki's skills have improved even more, but..."

"but--"

Wu Fengshui blinked his black-and-white eyes. "A rear naked choke isn't Bai Muqin's style. He's not serious, nor is he happy about it."

……

……

Shiraki Sei was naturally unhappy.

Even though he had the upper hand, Ledesapain's eyes were bloodshot, blood was bubbling from the corner of his mouth, and he was almost suffocating.

But Shiramu Cheng felt that this was not even a warm-up.

That won't do, Sapain, you've forgotten something very important.

—Shiraki Cheng thought to himself.

Right now, you must be thinking about things like, "Why do I have to work so hard?"

But that kind of thing has nothing to do with "power".

What you need to consider next is not the kind of thinking you have right now—the desire to win; that's just a burden.

We need to fight as usual, and keep a calm mind!

Now that everyone considers me their rival, how long are you going to keep working so "easily"?

Can you come to your senses...?

As he thought this, Shiramu Cheng exerted force with both arms, further compressing the naked body with a chokehold.

"Ugh—~~~"

Sapa gritted his teeth and gripped Bai Mucheng's left arm tightly with both hands to create a gap for himself and prevent him from losing consciousness.

However, Shiramu Cheng was taller and heavier than him, giving him an advantage in strength.

I……

I want to do this for...

Sapain's throat artery was slowly compressed, leaving him unable to think much.

But it is precisely because of this that his thoughts can become concise, eventually discarding the unnecessary and gradually converging on a single idea.

Yoroizuka Sapain —

He became a fighter not "for" his elder brother, or "for" his father, or "for" the village, but for a more fundamental reason.

TEPCO's relentless pressure on Dawn Village caused Sapain to forget about the incident.

He wants to become powerful!

He wanted to be able to uphold his will when facing difficulties.

I want to be like my father and older brother, to protect everything I cherish! That's why I want to become strong!

Clack clack...

Sapain's teeth made a series of crisp sounds as he clenched them tightly.

He strained with all ten fingers, his nails almost digging into Bai Mucheng's arm skin, and at the same time, he pushed off the ground and jumped back, twisting his waist violently from side to side.

Swish—swish—!

After a few moments, the half-naked rope of the white wood carrier loosened.

Sapain seized the opportunity, arching his back and throwing Bai Mucheng flying.

Swish!

The white wooden frame flipped in mid-air before landing steadily, keeping a distance from Sapain and remaining completely unaffected.

"Huh...huh..."

Sapain clutched his throat, gasping for breath, his flushed face gradually calming down.

He looked up at Bai Mucheng, but instead of immediately giving chase, he did something that no one expected.

Sapain turned around, walked to the sidelines, and faced his old man—

Yorizuka Mitsumitsu of Dawn Village.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I was thinking about something unnecessary."

Sapain stretched out his hands, grabbed the iron railing at the edge of the field, then tilted his head back and slammed it down heavily with a "whoosh".

Clang!

A crisp yet powerful roar instantly resounded throughout the entire venue.

Everyone stared intently and saw that the metal railings commonly seen in the stadium had been bent into a twisted pretzel by Sapain's forehead.

"Hoo, ha!"

Sapain, however, acted as if nothing had happened, suddenly turning his head to look at Shiraki Sei in the arena.

His forehead was cut open, and fresh blood was seeping out and dripping down.

"Thank you for your guidance!"

Those wide-open eyes were filled with renewed passion.

Sapain took a deep breath and slammed his fists together, producing a muffled thud.

"From now on, it's not 'for the sake of,' but 'what I want!'"

"It's not about 'why I want to beat you'..."

"But I just want to beat you!!!"

That exhilarating roar, for the first time today, resounded throughout the Quanyuan Arena, making everyone's blood boil, like water splashing in their faces!

[Roaring Fighting Spirit] Armored Tomb Sapain -

Come on, come on! !

Chapter 391 Personal Hobbies

Sapain's loud shout startled the audience and also surprised the host, Katahara Sayaka.

"...?!"

Qiaoxiang asked in surprise, "What is this?!"

"Although the situation on the field hasn't changed, and Sapain even deliberately injured himself, something has clearly changed!"

He is declaring—

With her eyes fixed on the scene, Qiaoxiang felt a sense of relief, realizing that her "familiar" friend had returned.

"【Roaring Fighting Spirit】Sapane announces his arrival!"
