Super Fighting Tokyo.

Chapter 514 is precisely this kind of

Mitsuyo Kosei and Kosuke Imai stepped onto the training ground, their feet crunching over the blood and grime.

Both master and apprentice couldn't help but widen their eyes.

They had seen Shiraki Chengna's unique training methods before—

Fighting unseen opponents, where even the injuries are visible on the body, each training session leaves one covered in wounds.

But to the shock of both master and disciple, Bai Mucheng's current level of cultivation seemed even more exaggerated.

"..."

There was blood on the ground, making it easy to slip, so Shiramu Cheng went to the side of the practice field to wipe the bloodstains off his body and the soles of his feet.

Mitsuyo Muishi watched from a short distance away.

Xiaoyuzhou had already taken his position, facing Bai Mucheng.

The former is a small man at 171cm, about the same height as Baki Hanma.

Unlike Baki, Kosei follows a "strangulation method" that is more suitable for his small size, and he devotes all his efforts to mastering it.

After being severely injured and near death by one of the death row inmates, Spek, Xiaoyuzhou repeatedly pondered his "attitude" towards combat.

"Thank you, Mr. Shiraki."

Xiao Yuzhou bounced around and twisted his neck. "So, are we practicing? Or..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

But Bai Mucheng already understood, and smiled, saying, "Now that things have come to this, of course we should fight the battle we 'want to fight'."

"Understood, then I will give it my all!"

The small universe opens its arms, lowers its center of gravity, and enters combat mode.

Not far away, Mitsuyo Koishi crossed his arms and, idly adding, "Anyway, shall we begin?"

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuzhou had already pushed off the ground and rushed forward, his body trajectory forming a wave-like arc, using a high-speed dive to grab him.

Facing Shiraki Cheng, who is 187cm tall and weighs more than 30kg more than him, Xiaoyuzhou chose to attack first and make the most of his advantages.

Once you enter ground combat, you can make up for your physical disadvantage!

Squeak!

The soles of the feet twisted on the floor.

Xiaoyuzhou steps forward with his left foot, changes his move from a forward charge stance, grabs with both hands, and quickly sweeps his right leg low, trying to use a feint to take down Baimu Cheng.

But the next second—

Swish.

Whether it's a tackle or a sweeping kick, they all miss at the same time.

"...!?"

Xiao Yuzhou looked up in surprise, only to find that Bai Mucheng remained motionless, standing in the same spot as if nothing had happened.

It's not about dodging or counterattacking, but about relying on precise control of distance to avoid grabbing and throwing techniques with minimal effort!

"All actions taken before either side engages in attack or defense are called 'standing rounds'."

"Some people also call it Footsies, which literally translates to 'flirting gestures'."

Bai Mucheng looked down at his feet. "The purpose is to put himself in a favorable position or to put the opponent in a disadvantageous position."

"...It's very easy to understand, right?"

"Even when children fight, they inevitably pull and tug at each other, which is to say, they are engaging in a 'standing match,' so it seems too simplistic."

"But it is precisely because of this—because it exists in all battles—that the status of [Standalone] is highlighted!"

"Just like Piccolo's body."

"Simplicity to the point of purity, ultimately free from the influence of anything, becomes the 'Tao'..."

Bai Mucheng analyzed in a deep voice, as if pointing out the universe, while also summarizing his own experience.

Xiao Yuzhou patted his face.

He reassessed the distance between himself and Shiraki Sei, focusing all his attention on controlling his "position".

"Again!"

Whoosh!

The microcosm sprinted forward again, moving rapidly in a Z-shape.

He continuously grappled and threw, combined with rapid punches and kicks, and used feints as cover, attempting to break through Bai Mucheng's movement and pulling.

But after several rounds of fierce attacks, Xiaoyuzhou couldn't find an opportunity at all.

Even if one manages to grab Bai Mucheng's wrist occasionally, it will be broken off in an instant, making it impossible to establish effective control.

An inexplicable feeling of palpitation is rising in the depths of my heart.

It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, looking into a pitch-black abyss; even just being in that state would make you feel extremely uncomfortable.

"call……"

Xiao Yuzhou let out a long breath, and a few beads of sweat were already dripping from his forehead.

In his view, he was not entirely without a chance, but he still needed to proceed cautiously and carefully pursue the matter for a long time.

But at that moment, Bai Mucheng lowered his center of gravity and raised his hand to signal his cosmos to attack.

This is a bad habit of [Fighting Spirit].

If you don't experience the "moves" that the person in front of you has painstakingly created as soon as possible, it would be a real disappointment.

"This is really..."

Xiao Yuzhou pursed his lips and lowered his head, readily accepting the challenge. His body shot out like an arrow in the next second.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, he was already right in front of Bai Mucheng.

Shiraki focused his mind, raised his hand to grab the left arm of the cosmos, intending to use the [Back Throw] to deal with close combat, but was instantly disarmed by the cosmos.

Snapped!

Xiao Yuzhou slapped Bai Mucheng's hand away, then leaped forward, his whole body drawing an arc like a giant snake, before flipping around behind Bai Mucheng.

—Finally, the opportunity was seized!

Xiaoyuzhou's legs extended from behind Bai Mucheng and wrapped around Bai Mucheng's waist.

With both hands wrapped around Shiramu Cheng's neck, and his left arm resting on his right elbow, he intended to use a rear naked choke to determine the winner.

But just as the naked choke was about to be completed, a sudden change occurred—

"Huh?!"

Xiao Yuzhou clearly felt that the "White Wood Support" in front of him suddenly disappeared, as if it had vanished without a trace, and there was no "real feeling" at all!

Shiraki Cheng's muscular body, covered in scars, suddenly became softer than a marshmallow!

The answer is 【exhaustion】!

The extreme "exhaustion" deforms the strangulation action of the microcosm.

The next second—

Shiramu Cheng's back muscles tensed up instantly, and he jerked violently at an extremely high speed, with astonishing explosive power.

Boom!

【Blanca O Thunderbolt】!

In that instant, Xiaoyuzhou was struck hard on Bai Mucheng's back, and felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted. With a "whoosh," he let go of his hands and feet.

Swish!

Bai Mucheng raised both hands, grabbed his other right arm, and using his own shoulder as a fulcrum, threw the small universe behind him out.

【Longo Backhand Throw】!

boom!

Xiao Yuzhou fell to the ground, rolled forward several times, and finally stopped, squatting in a daze.

"Well……"

The electric shock-like sensation was still spreading throughout my body.

Xiao Yuzhou gritted his teeth and stood up. Just as he wiped the sweat from his face, a dark shadow came rushing towards him.

Ode!

【Charge with Fighting Spirit】!

Bai Mucheng stepped forward, his starting speed so fast it was invisible to the naked eye, instantly closing in on Xiaoyuzhou.

The upper body remained still, but the invisible fist had already been thrown.

[Long Bo's slap!]

boom!

In an instant, Xiao Yuzhou felt his head explode, and a phantom hot, bloody current surged out, turning into real cold sweat that "whooshed" up on his forehead.

"—?!"

Xiao Yuzhou stood there, stunned, even his breathing stopped for a few seconds.

suddenly--
