Super Fighting Tokyo.

After confirming that Bai Mucheng had stopped moving, Wu Fengshui became somewhat curious.

"Shiraki-sensei..."

She looked around and saw cracks spreading across the sweat-soaked sand, gradually being filled with loose sand.

Splash...

Such a scene cannot be simply described as a "powerful attack".

Whether it's smashing a wall with your bare hands or stomping a hole in the ground, nothing is as shocking as "crushing sandy soil"!

"..."

"call!"

Bai Mucheng let out a long breath and turned to look at the crowd in the distance.

He took the towel Wu Fengshui tossed to him, wiped away the sweat and dirt from his body, and only then did he recover from his previous state of exhaustion.

Wu Fengshui also heard Bai Mucheng's mutterings.

Shiraki said, "That's not enough."

Seeing the shocking scene before her, the girl swallowed hard. "They've gone to this extent, isn't that enough to deal with Pike?"

In fact, Wu Fengshui had witnessed the battle between Lie Haiwang and Pike, and had anticipated Pike's strength.

She asked the question because she subconsciously wanted to hear Bai Mucheng's opinion.

swoosh...

Bai Mucheng lightly bounced a few times, preparing to go back indoors to stretch.

"I met Dr. Albert Payne before, but I forgot to ask him for his business card."

"So I thought that whether it's science or combat, even if you just 'take it a step further' in one principle or technique, you can master something amazing."

"But if we don't take it a step further, we won't be able to face Piko..."

After speaking, Bai Mucheng lowered his head and repeatedly clenched his fists.

That being said, it really felt incredible.

Immersed in "spiritual power," I took another step forward in the realm of "exhaustion," allowing my body to catch up with my soul...

At least I have a starting point.

……

……

After lunch, Shiraki took another nap.

It was afternoon.

Today's training plan wasn't much, and seclusion for spiritual practice has never been Bai Mucheng's style.

He prefers to go out.

Even just seeing unfamiliar street scenes would make Shiraki Cheng happy, and if he could also study fighting techniques at the same time, it would be even more blissful.

"..."

He boarded the tram, rode it for a few stops, and wandered aimlessly through the streets.

He even helped an old lady move her goods along the way, and then hitched a ride with her son, not caring where he would be taken.

When Bai Mucheng came to his senses, what appeared in front of him was a magnificent nine-story building.

On one entire wall on the side of the building, there is an exaggeratedly huge painting.

The image depicts a fierce-looking bald man in a karate uniform, using a karate chop to strike the neck of a giant, ferocious tiger.

The building's name is displayed on the top floor.

Shinshin Kaikan Headquarters.

"Haha, how did we end up here again?"

Bai Mucheng looked helpless, shook his head to himself, greeted the disciples at the door, took off his shoes and went upstairs.

The second and third floors are for general teaching classes, and the fourth floor is a gym.

Upon reaching the fifth-floor dojo, Shiraki encountered two acquaintances—

Yu Di Ke Si, He, Lie Hai Wang.

The two were practicing, occasionally exchanging tips and experiences.

It's clear that Retsu Kaioh still has bandages on his left shoulder; after all, he's lost two pieces of flesh and needs time to recover.

Upon seeing Bai Mucheng arrive, Lie Haiwang remained silent.

Seeing this, Katsumi Yuji remembered that the two were "breaking up their friendship". He glanced helplessly at Retsukai-oh and shrugged at Shiraki-sensei.

Shiraki Cheng grinned, greeted Yuji Katsumi, and then asked, "You asked about Retsu's recovery?"

Foolishly Katsumi: "..."

He relayed the information with a complicated expression and received a reply from Retsukai-oh.

"Please tell Shiraki that thank you for your concern, and that it is no longer affecting his daily activities. Also, the sunglasses he left in the ward have been returned to him by Baki."

Keji continued to relay the information.

Bai Mucheng nodded. "Please tell Lie that I received the sunglasses. Thank you."

Retsu Kaioh continued, "Please tell Shiraki, you're welcome."

Foolishly Katsumi: "..."

Foolishly Katsumi: "...?"

These two are never done!

Perhaps sensing that things were getting too troublesome, both Retsukai and Shiraki Cheng coughed a few times and said nothing more.

"Oh dear~~~!"

Katsumi scratched his head helplessly.

Bai Mucheng was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I just came to browse. I'll see Brother Dubu if I have the chance. Did I disturb you?"

"...No, you've come at the perfect time."

Katsumi Yuji solemnly admitted, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm thinking about how I should fight Pico."

Bai Mucheng sat cross-legged at the edge of the dojo, leisurely raising an eyebrow as he watched the two. "Brother Keji, don't look down on people. No one has the right to laugh at someone who is considering this matter."

"Indeed, I misspoke."

After a short rest, Yuji Katsumi snapped out of his daze and resumed his fist-clenching stance.

Shiraki Seiken could see it very clearly.

That stance, compared to a typical karate punch stance, possesses a unique tension.

With a larger side angle, a slight forward lean, and the left and right feet spread apart, the point of force can be seen almost all over the body.

This is the signature stance of Katsumi Guji, the ultimate weapon of karate.

Commonly known as—Sonic Fist!

The force generated by pressing down with both big toes is accelerated through the ankles, then transferred to the knees for further acceleration, and finally accelerated through the hips and waist.

Next comes the spine, shoulders, elbows, and wrists.

Finally, it reaches the "fist" and completes the swinging motion.

Such a punch has reached the level of "sonic speed" and even knocked out "Hanayama Kaoru"!

"..."

Katsumi's brows furrowed as he glanced at the two people in the room. Suddenly, he realized that it was truly a coincidence.

"Speaking of which, you two—both of you have fought against me."

“I also tried to deal with the two of them with sonic punches.”

Katsumi let out a soft breath, reminiscing about the past.

"In the tournament at the underground arena, I fought against Lie. Lie used a carefully designed tactic to distract my eyes with 'energy bullets' and then killed me instantly."

"I failed to deliver a sonic punch in this fight."

Keji then looked to the other side.

"And the match with Shiraki was a Kengan match fought on a cruise ship."

"At that time, we were both driven to the brink of defeat. Although I successfully unleashed a sonic punch, Shiraki caught the trajectory and blocked it, and I was ultimately defeated by Shiraki."

"—In that battle, my sonic punch was seen through."

Thinking of this, Katsumi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to himself, "So... how embarrassing! Can this move of mine still be considered a finishing move?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng and Lie Haiwang exchanged a glance.

"Let me be blunt..."

Retsukai spoke first, "Katsumi, when you fought Hanayama Kaoru, the 'Sonic Fist' technique you used sent chills down my spine!"

"The history of karate is far less than that of boxing—this is no exaggeration."

"But in fact, even I can't use your sonic punch in real combat; I can only barely imitate it in performances."

"In other words, the difference in strength between you and me is not as great as the outcome of that fight seemed!"

Retsukai frankly stated, "Understanding technology and applying technology in actual combat are two different things."

"In the long history of boxing, if we're talking about someone who could truly master that move, there's probably only one person: Guo Haihuang!"

"..."

After speaking, Lie Haiwang looked at Bai Mucheng, indicating that he had finished speaking.

Shiraki Cheng thought for a moment, then suddenly said something surprising, "In the end, sonic punch really isn't a finishing move, is it?"
