Super Fighting Tokyo.

The kick was deep enough and covered a large area; Jack was certain it would hit.

But in the end, when Jack swept his leg over, he heard that "explosive sound" again, and the second sweeping kick missed again!

"—!"

Jack looked up and was surprised to see Piccolo standing in front of him, less than twenty centimeters apart.

This sudden appearance made Jack yell "Whoa!" and jump back to create distance, maintaining his distance from Pike again.

return……

Pico remained standing still, without moving!

is it possible?

My sweeping kick should have definitely hit his legs!

And that sound has appeared again? The surrounding dust is even increasing instead of decreasing? What on earth is going on?

Countless questions arose in Jack's mind.

But suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying away some of the dust that had been stirred up, allowing Jack to see his surroundings more clearly in the distance.

Jack was stunned.

What... happened...?

Behind Pico, on either side of the street, were two huge holes with exposed steel bars inside.

Stones fell in a flurry from the hole, raising clouds of dust.

"..."

Dr. Payne spoke, his voice low and sharp: "It seems this is the combat technique that Piccolo used during the Cretaceous period!"

Almost simultaneously, Jack also realized what was happening.

"...!!"

Is that so? Oh, is that how it is...?

Jack's expression was visibly much calmer, even showing a hint of disappointment.

Hmph, how utterly ridiculous.

For the strongest and fastest attack I unleashed—

I thought Pi Ke wouldn't react at all, and hadn't moved an inch.

...This judgment is ridiculous!

Don't say it hasn't moved an inch; its skin has moved more than just a little.

That guy—Pico—easily dodged my all-out attack with a backflip.

He jumped ten meters away, stepped on the wall with both feet, bounced off, and then stood back in his original position as if nothing had happened!

And my eyes couldn't even catch that!

They even mistakenly thought that Pi Ke was standing still!

……twice.

Twice in total, but I couldn't see it clearly either time!

How utterly ridiculous!

"..."

Thinking of this, Jack gritted his teeth, his face darkened, and a few beads of sweat of shame rolled down his forehead.

He had heard of...

Mas Oyama, the father of practical karate, once said:

If you put a human and a cat in a cage to fight, the human would have to bring a knife to be considered an equal to the cat!

Cats possess sharp teeth, claws, and quick reflexes—all weapons that humans lack.

At the same time, cats also have exceptional motor skills, enabling them to roll onto their backs and land on their own.

...And of course, speed!

In all these respects, humans are far inferior to cats.

Without weapons, it is impossible to bridge the gap, even if one has dozens of times the weight of the opponent!

"That's right, that's how it is..."

Jack murmured in amazement.

In the dinosaur era, a time of fierce competition among various factions, Pico was practically "bare-handed" compared to the dinosaurs' weapons.

However, Piccolo survived as a predator!

This shows that Pike's speed was so fast that even dinosaurs' reactions could not keep up!

To fight Pico is to fight against all the dinosaurs and achieve total victory!!

and so……

I want to win.

I want to win!

Jack's entire body was straining, each muscle straining and screaming at the cellular level, making a frantic plea.

It was as if he were wailing and crying, yearning for power!

God, this is the first time I have made a wish to you!

I really want to win...!

Please let me win! Please let me be victorious!

Swish!

Jack got into a fighting stance, his left fist clenched as he lunged at Pike.

But Jack's fist didn't even have time to fully pull back before the next instant—

call!

A strong gust of wind blew up as Pike charged forward, appearing almost instantly in front of Jack and throwing a powerful right hook from below.

Boom! !

—Strike Jack's jaw.

Chapter 549 The Man Who Seeks Divine Intervention

Boom! !

Jack's bloodied jaw was struck hard by Peco's right fist, causing his teeth to clench and his eyes to tremble and become blurry.

God, I want to win...

Please...please...please...!

It was a desperate, wailing plea, much like Jack's yearning for "power."

I want to become stronger!

From the moment I was born, I wanted to become stronger!

Even during my teenage years, I wanted to become stronger!

……

……

Ten years ago.

At that time, Jack, who was still a boy, was temporarily living in a Christian church in Canada, where he was cared for by an old priest.

One morning, the old priest who opened the church doors witnessed a miraculous scene.

In front of the statue of Jesus, young Jack stood there, his whole body soaked in sweat, especially his feet.

The old priest wondered, what was Jack doing?

Jack said he was "protecting".

Protecting...the suffering Jesus...?

The old priest blinked, then chuckled and exclaimed that Jack really knew his stuff.

Jack, who was protected by the Lord Jesus, actually turned around and protected the Lord Jesus?

The old priest couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, did you wish for any reward?"

Jack's answer was just two words—become stronger.

"How strong will it become?"

"..."

……

I want to become the strongest creature in the world!

Jack arrived at this moment with this belief!

"drink!"

Jack gritted his teeth, pressed down on Pike's hook with his neck, and stomped hard on the ground at the same time.

Swish!

With a clenched right fist, he swung it out with all his might, slamming it into Pike's face, but Pike managed to keep his balance steady and couldn't shake his opponent.

"—!"
