Super Fighting Tokyo.

"Shiraki, let's continue fighting."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng slowly stepped forward, ignoring the large bags of vegetables he was carrying, a faint glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Great, fantastic!"

"—Yeah, right."

Bai Mucheng shook his head, shaking off the murderous intent on his face, and then gently placed the vegetables in his hand back into the yard through the wall.

He leaned against the wall, rubbed his hair, and then turned to Kaneda Suekichi with a sigh.

"Brother Kaneda, let's stop now. Wasn't that enough just now?"

Bai Mucheng sighed softly, "Just how far do you intend to go before you consider it over?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jintian pursed his lips, and sneered under the pressure, "A duel is a duel, there's no such thing as 'level'—"

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Mucheng forcibly interrupted him.

"Yes, if it's a fight with you, I need to know the 'degree' of the fight. Is it going to result in someone being hospitalized on both sides? Or someone being unconscious all night? Or maybe someone losing a hand or a leg?"

"Don't give me any grand theories, because if I'm going to fight you, I need to get to the bottom of things."

"This is also a 'process'."

"So, in the end, why did you want to fight me? Was it just because of Elder Shechuan's introduction?"

"..."

"Ha ha……"

Jintian paused, then suddenly smiled faintly, "How far can it go? I just want to become stronger, that's why I came to see you."

As he spoke, Kaneda approached Shiraki step by step.

Bai Mucheng clicked his tongue helplessly, "We have to talk, otherwise all that's left is the 'result'..."

But Kaneda Suekichi didn't care about any of that.

He slowly stepped forward, keeping a close eye on Bai Mucheng's breathing and footsteps, and then rushed forward at the perfect moment.

Swish!

This time, Kaneda charged forward at an extremely fast speed, using his body as cover to conceal his hand movements in an attempt to launch a surprise attack.

At the moment of approaching the white wood support—

Whoosh!

Shiraki Cheng's right hand had been raised at some point, and his index and middle fingers were raised simultaneously, quickly passing through the Kaneda defense line and striking his jaw.

【Jamie o Dianchen】!

Snapped!

With just a gentle touch, Kaneda's eyes trembled, his brain swayed inside his head, and he froze in place.

Shiraki suddenly spread his arms wide, hugged Kaneda in front of him, and pressed forward with his full weight.

Zangief-Siberian Express!

Swish-!

Kaneda was lifted up by Shiraki and raised more than a meter off the ground. Then, aiming at Shiraki's front—Kanada's back—he slammed down on him.

Boom!!

The throw, using the weight of both men, exploded with a muffled thud upon impact with the ground.

But no bloody scene occurred, because behind Jintian's head was not a hard road, but the soft lawn in the courtyard of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

"..."

Even so, Kaneda was still stunned by the shock, and lay on his back trembling uncontrollably.

shuh...

Shiramu Cheng slowly stood up, looking down at his opponent. "Brother Kaneda, you are a formidable fighter. Thank you for coming to challenge me to a battle."

"So I think this level is enough."

"We're not mortal enemies, so this is just the right amount of fighting."

"Once you've recovered, you're welcome to come for dinner. I'll contact a doctor for you."

After saying that, Bai Mucheng turned and left, picked up the bag in the yard, and went home to the kitchen to pick vegetables.

……

……

Inside the courtyard, Okubo and Himuro Ryo, who had paused their practice session, witnessed this scene clearly.

Both of them frowned deeply as they looked at it.

It wasn't regret or pain, but a more complex and conflicted emotion.

"..."

Through the Kengan match, both of them got to know Kaneda Suekichi and greeted each other.

Just moments ago, when Kaneda was standing at the entrance of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall, waiting for Shiraki to come home, Okubo and Himuro Ryo also talked to Kaneda.

Both of them advised Kaneda: "Let's stop fighting. There's no need to fight anymore. Now is not the time for this kind of battle."

Kaneda asked, "Why?"

"..."

When Kaneda Suekichi heard Shiraki Shō—and others—challenging Pico, he clenched his fists in anger.

"That's what you call looking down on people!"

He said something similar to what Katsumi Yuji said, but not to Piko, but to Shiraki Sei.

This made Okubo and Himuro Ryo fall into deep thought.

"..."

Looking at Kaneda lying on his back, Himuro Ryo paused for a moment, then said, "Speaking of which..."

Himuro Ryo gestured and said, "'Kaneda Suekichi VS Shiraki Jo,' doesn't it sound like 'us VS Pikachu'? It feels weird, doesn't it?"

Okubo seemed to realize something as well. "So...we didn't understand Pike at all before?"

Is that so?

Himuro Ryo's expression was strange, but he finally let out a sigh of relief, "So, only by facing Kaneda Suekichi can one truly understand Pico! Only then can one be truly honest with Pico!"

Okubo grinned and said, "So that's how it is!"

……

……

At the same time, Kaneda Suekichi caught his breath and got up from the ground again.

He rose with such force that he even clenched two handfuls of grass on the ground, his hands so tightly that the veins on the backs of his hands bulged, and he roared angrily:

"You bastard, don't look down on people...!"

"Let me 'show you what you're made of'!!"

Chapter 555 This match...

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

Kaneda Suekichi gritted his teeth, his body swaying unsteadily.

Clearly, Shiraki's previous powerful blows—especially the final slam—would have been difficult for Kaneda to withstand, even if he had held back intentionally.

Upon seeing this, Okubo and Himuro Ryo wanted to step forward to help, but they stopped because of Kaneda's imposing manner.

Immediately afterwards, Kaneda did something even more "impressive"—

He rushed to the gate, retrieved his gym bag, unzipped it, and dumped out a bunch of random things.

Not only were there clothes, but also a large number of pills and capsules, and even syringes.

—Suekichi Kaneda also brought medicine!

However, unlike [Monster] Jack Hanma, the medicine prepared by Kaneda is not "steroids", but a large amount of "painkillers".

The sheer variety of them is enough to make it a veritable expo!

"call……"

Jin Tian gritted his teeth and endured the pain, first injecting a vial of medicine, then grabbing the ample amount of pills he had prepared beforehand and chewing them vigorously.

At this point, Kaneda's expression finally softened a little, and his steps stopped trembling.

"Okay~~~~!"

Jintian turned towards the houses in the courtyard, stretching his neck and arms as he walked.

As he passed by Okubo and Himuro Ryo, he turned around and said with a faint smile, "Sorry to disturb your practice, it will probably be a while."

Then, Jintian walked to the corridor in the courtyard and stared at the living room through the glass door.

"Bai Mu, come out here!"

He clenched his fist tightly and shouted, "Don't look down on me! And don't underestimate me either!!"

"..."

At this moment, Okubo smiled helplessly and said, "As expected, although it was just hearsay, it is exactly the same as the 'heard' Katsumi Guji."

Jintian was stunned upon hearing this, and turned around in surprise, asking, "What?"
