Super Fighting Tokyo.

"..."

Doppo opened his one eye wide and suddenly realized what was happening.

Shibukawa smiled, his eyes narrowing. "If you want to deal with Piko, then don't 'accommodate' him anymore...?"

Doppo realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

"It's just..."

Chapter 554 Don't look down on people!

Thump...!

Kaneda Suekichi fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Gina Porter, who witnessed this scene, later admitted it to her classmates at the Royal Sakura.

"I misjudged him."

“The man in the casual jacket looks ordinary at first glance, but a closer look reveals his special qualities.”

"First and foremost, the muscles!"

"—You can see the obvious muscle outline through the clothes that are stretched out, and both the neck and shoulders are quite strong."

"Then there are the scars all over his neck and hands, layered and intertwined, which can definitely be described as 'scarred'."

"Those scars must be all over his body, right?"

"Even professional fighters could not possibly achieve this level, as it goes far beyond the scope of 'sports competition'."

……

……

Let's go back to the present.

After taking a deep breath, Kaneda Suekichi, who was lying on the ground, finally managed to stand up, still feeling dizzy and unsteady.

"Oh dear, oh dear..."

He wiped his forehead and found it was just a scratch, then looked at Bai Mucheng with a smile.

"The [Fighting Spirit] that Teacher Shechuan highly recommended doesn't seem so exaggerated. How come it doesn't hurt or itch when I bump into people?"

"..."

Shiraki Cheng sighed softly, "Brother Kinda, although you made the first move, let's stop there. That's enough."

"If I use any more force, I will hurt you."

Upon hearing this, Jin Tian's anger flared up instantly, his narrowed eyes widened suddenly, and several veins bulged on his forehead.

"What do you mean? Who asked you to consider my feelings?!"

Fueled by rage, Kaneda slid forward, quickly closing in on Shiraki's left arm, while simultaneously extending both hands in a grabbing and throwing stance.

- Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Jin Tian missed his target and stopped in front of Shiraki.

"!?"

Kaneda was very confident in his distance control, so he was certain that it wasn't a mistake on his part.

Looking up, one could see Shiraki standing sideways, using his steps to step back slightly, precisely avoiding Kinda's effective arm span.

【Edge of Annihilation】!

"—?!"

Kaneda had no time to react.

The next instant, Shiraki pushed off the ground with his right foot, quickly stepped forward with his left foot, raised both arms at the same time, and thrust forward with the heel of his left palm to attack Kinda's chest.

【Jamie O Drunkenly Strolling】!

Swish!

As the palm approached, Jintian tried his best to raise his arms to defend, but at the moment of contact, he felt a tremendous force that shattered his stance.

boom--!

With a muffled thud, Kaneda was pushed onto his back, rolling backward once more.

The feeling of dizziness once again filled Kaneda Suekichi's mind, making him feel nauseous, and even his eyes were trembling.

what……

Don't lose control! My body...

But... that's really strong...

Shiraki's strength was indeed genuine!

Just how big is the gap between me and him? I can't even get close enough to him?

...It doesn't matter.

Because that's how fighters are, right? Because fighters are meant to fight to the very end!

If not now, when?!

Swish!

Jintian gritted his teeth, flipped backwards further, and finally landed on his feet. He then jumped and launched himself forward like an arrow.

Whoosh!

He rushed toward Bai Mucheng at top speed, desperately trying to grab the other's wrist, but suddenly froze at the moment of striking.

...disappeared?

Shiraki's entire right arm has disappeared!?

No matter how strong his conviction, Kaneda Suekichi could not grasp something that "did not exist".

He rushed forward and brushed past Bai Mucheng on the right.

In an instant, Shiraki Cheng's right arm completed a soul-level "exhaustion" and transformed into a jab, striking Kaneda's jaw.

【Edge's Mental Flash Punch】!

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Kaneda and Shiraki stumbled apart, then Kaneda staggered forward three or four steps.

"...?"

When Jintian regained his senses, his brain was trembling violently inside his skull, and his vision was blurred, as if everything was being twisted and deformed.

Finally, a wave of dizziness washed over him, causing his eyes to roll back and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

That punch was too fast.

—So fast that even if it hits Kaneda's jaw, he won't be able to see Shiraki's arm!

In fact, to Gina, who was watching from the sidelines, Shiraki Cheng was completely motionless, while Kaneda simply passed by him and collapsed unconscious!

"Thanks……"

Shiramu Cheng turned to look at Kaneda, "Anyway, thank you for playing with me."

……

……

"I already told you! It was just that the two people crossed paths, and then one of them fell down. They didn't even have any contact!"

"...Or maybe I just didn't see it?"

Gina crossed her arms, looking distressed, and described the situation to her classmate:

"In short, after that 'Kaneda Suekichi' was knocked down, his opponent only glanced at him a few times before turning around and leaving the scene."

"Hmm? You guys think that 'opponent' looks familiar?"

"..."

"Huh? Is that man Arisa's brother!?"

……

……

Let's go back to the present.

As planned, Shiramu Cheng continued his journey to the vegetable market.

While buying groceries, he couldn't help but wonder why that "powerful assassin" Kaneda Suekichi wanted to fight him.

Why do you insist on fighting me...?

"..."

Filled with doubt, Bai Mucheng bought some groceries and strolled home in the sun.

When Bai Mucheng walked to the street outside the Douhun Martial Arts Hall, he could see something unusual from afar.

Okubo and Himuro Ryo, who were practicing in the courtyard, had stopped for a while and were looking at the courtyard gate at the same time.

At the entrance to the courtyard stood a thin man dressed in a loose kimono.

The man had abrasions on his forehead and jaw; he was none other than the "powerful assassin" Suekichi Kaneda, whom he had met just half an hour earlier!

"Oh, good afternoon!"

Kaneda, with his usual squinty eyes, greeted Shiraki, who was returning home, with a faint smile.

"It's rather rude of me to come here so suddenly, but this place seems more suitable for a duel, after all, it's a 'martial arts school'! Or perhaps a 'fighting center'?"

As he spoke, Jin Tian slowly raised his hands and readjusted his posture.
