This idea is naive and extremely immature, both for Pike and for himself.

The conclusion is—

What is happening now is not "determining a winner or loser," but the purest form of "battle" itself!

I see……

Retsukai-oh understood.

He simply wanted to understand how the primitive humans from 200 million years ago would interact with martial arts, and thus he pursued combat.

But he overlooked another point.

That is, one must also bear the consequences.

This ongoing battle is like a newly established romantic relationship.

The pursuer who has succeeded will now face the love of their partner.

Battle is love, love is power.

Retsu asked himself, while he was immersed in the "battle", was he ready to bear the "power" of Pico?

"..."

Retsukai looked ahead, but couldn't help pursing his lips.

The conclusion is—

After the battle began, he inadvertently went astray, focusing solely on using his fists to clash with Pike, but neglecting the importance of "himself" to Pike.

"..."

Retsukai looked up at Pike, who was lying prone on the ground, ready to pounce.

……Feel sorry!

I should have done better!

I could have done better!!

But because of my naivety, you bit off a muscle in my left shoulder, making it difficult for me to exert force in my left arm, and my whole body was also affected by severe pain and blood loss.

Sorry, you can't collide with "Perfect Retsu Kaioh"!

One wrong move...

Lie Haiwang exhaled a breath of hot air, steadied himself, and slowly raised his fists.

So let me make it up to you!

So let me respond to you with everything I have right now!

No escape, no hiding, no retreat...

Faced with your unwavering advance, I, Retsu Kaioh, must meet you head-on!

Retsukai clenched his fists.

He will use the weapon symbolizing boxing—the Bengquan, which is a straight punch from the middle section—to fight back!

"..."

The blood loss and excruciating pain in his left shoulder gradually spread throughout Retsu Kaioh's entire body.

Retsu Kaioh felt apologetic and regretful.

But he would never think about what would have happened if he hadn't been injured...

Because that kind of thing, in Shiraki Cheng's words, is called "not taking responsibility for the consequences," which is something that Retsu Kaioh can never accept.

So, come on!

Lie Haiwang planted his feet firmly in a horse stance, his feet making a "thump" sound on the sandy ground.

Pike, I'm going to beat you head-on!!

"..."

"..."

The next instant—

Pico, who was lying prostrate on the ground, had his body set ablaze, and his entire body turned into flames.

He stomped his feet on the ground with a loud "boom," and his whole body shot forward like an arrow, rushing towards the Sea King.

Pike used his skills, whether it was in slaughtering Tyrannosaurus Rex, crushing Triceratops, or instilling fear in Brachiosaurus—

He believed he was facing a formidable opponent and needed to make a full-force dive!

Swish-! ! !

That speed surpassed the limits of human vision, and even exceeded the limits of human imagination.

That wildness from the Cretaceous period, two hundred million years ago, almost distorted space, stirring up a trail of dust and even tearing the air apart!

"——!!!"

That wildness even made Retsu no Haiwang feel a chill!

I see……

So this is what it feels like to collide with primitive humans from 200 million years ago!

Excellent, this will definitely be useful next time!

Retsukaio's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared—

"break!"

Immediately afterwards, a powerful right-handed punch was unleashed from the middle section.

Swish!

Two hundred million years ago, primitive humans clashed with the peerless martial arts master, Lie Haiwang.

The ancient spear lunges forward, and the modern shield meets it head-on—and they collide!

The next second—

Boom!!

After a violent explosion, a figure flew backward through the air like a high-speed cannonball, landing straight into the passage in the direction of the White Tiger.

The confrontation thus came to a conclusion.

Pike's right eye was hit hard and he could barely open it; even the right half of his face was swollen.

Meanwhile, Retsukai was nowhere to be seen. He was knocked away from the arena, leaving only plumes of dust as he disappeared into the White Tiger Passage.

—The spear won.

……

……

Splash...

The echoes of the impact seemed to still reverberate within the arena, continuing even after the dust settled.

As for Pike, he rubbed his right cheek with the back of his hand, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and nostrils, but his expression remained calm.

"..."

The audience was stunned by what they saw.

Tokugawa couldn't help but swallow hard, "So...so strong...ahhhhh..."

Captain Strei's expression was also somber. "The counterattack with the fist technique failed—it was a complete defeat."

"There's nothing we can do about it; after all, martial arts are a skill applied to people."

Dr. Payne sighed. "Using techniques designed for humans against Piccolo, this 'non-human,' was a misjudgment on the part of Retsu Sea King."

"It's like choosing the wrong research direction from the beginning; no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to overcome the problem."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tokugawa became agitated.

No one liked those underground fighters more than this little old man, so naturally he couldn't stand others judging whether Lie Haiwang was right or wrong.

“Dr. Payne…”

Tokugawa, tears welling in his eyes, rebuked, "Are you going to deny the power of Retsukai-oh just because of this?!"

Dr. Payne shook his head. "No, Retsu Kaioh is undoubtedly a powerful human."

But then he changed the subject.

"But I still have to remind you, Pi came from primitive humans two hundred million years ago."

"In other words, his view of winning and losing cannot be understood by thinking 'about people'."

"..."

Everyone was pondering Dr. Payne's words.

At that moment, the audience suddenly noticed that Pike was actually crying.

Tick, tick, tick...

Large teardrops slid down Pi Ke's cheeks and fell to the ground.

Pi Ke took a step forward and slowly walked towards the White Tiger Passage, which was the direction from which Lie Haiwang had been thrown backward.

Tokugawa was puzzled. "Huh? He went over there again...?"

"What are you panicking about, Mr. Tokugawa?"

Dr. Payne, sounding somewhat somber, began to remind him, "This is just something that should happen—it's time to eat."

"It's...mealtime!?"

Tokugawa looked bewildered.

Dr. Payne glared back at Tokugawa. "Mr. Tokugawa, this is your agreement with Pike!"
