Super Fighting Tokyo.

To counter Pike's move, you can't rely on just "a part" of your own strength; you have to give it your all!

In other words, we need to use something more "fundamental," otherwise we have no chance of winning.

—The essence of Shiraki-zuke!

What exactly is it...?

Retsu Kaioh held his breath in anticipation, and the other spectators were also watching intently.

……

……

Shiramu Cheng moved again.

This time, however, his aura was noticeably more composed, even subtly distorting the air, making him a match for Pike.

What is that...!?

Wait, wait a minute...?

All I saw was—

He stepped forward with his left foot, firmly planted on the ground, and placed his weight between his two feet. Then he opened his left hand and pressed it forward, while his right fist clenched to protect his ribs.

—This is the most ordinary stance for Shiraki Sei!

"~~~~!!"

Ordinary viewers looked puzzled, wondering why Bai Mucheng had gone through so much trouble only to return to the starting point.

But the fighters in the audience, after a brief moment of stunned silence, smiled helplessly, understanding the situation perfectly well.

"Just as I expected!"

Baki Hanma narrowed his eyes. "The only way Brother Shiraki deals with Piccolo is through Shiraki Cheng himself!"

Retsukai nodded, grinning, "It's his usual calm and collected attitude..."

……

……

Indeed, it's just the same old calm and ordinary mindset.

Faced with the immense power from 200 million years ago, Bai Mucheng could not make any "innovations" or "temporary breakthroughs."

That's not Shiraki Sei's style.

After all, in his view, he was already 200 million years ahead of the curve in evolution.

So just keep a calm and normal mindset...

Just face Pico in a "normal" way, using your own abilities that are 200 million years ahead!

"--bring it on!"

Bai Mucheng shouted loudly, waking up Pi Ke who was ready to pounce.

At this moment, Pi Ke was baring his teeth, veins bulging on his limbs, having already gathered his strength to the maximum, and then charged forward rapidly.

Boom—!!

The limbs stomped on the sand, making a sound like a missile exploding.

Its enormous body, like a bullet, moved so fast it twisted its shape, hurtling through the air as it charged horizontally toward Bai Mucheng.

But at the moment Pico starts—

Ode!

【Charge with Fighting Spirit】!

Bai Mucheng's figure also blurred, and he pushed off the ground with his back foot, lunging forward and crashing head-on into Pike at an extremely fast speed.

Just as the two were about to collide, Bai Mucheng stopped and changed his move, completing his soul-level "exhaustion" and accelerating forward for the second time.

Zangief —

[Unleashing Fighting Spirit: Russian Double Palm Strike]!

Swish!

Two slashes from the left and right hands struck Pi Ke's arms, which were raised, with solid blows to his forearms, producing muffled "thud" sounds.

That's a hand strike that even professional wrestlers can't block!

But this was Pike's fierce attack, so he will not stop there.

Bai Mucheng's hands were immediately pushed back, but he had already anticipated this. He then opened his hands and clamped them tightly around Pi Ke's arms.

—Gotcha!

Shiramu gritted his teeth, using the points where his hands gripped as anchor points to forcibly stabilize his body, while simultaneously pressing down on Pi Ke with all his might.

He was pushed backward by Pike, leaving two deep scratches on the ground with his feet, but he was not lifted up.

The two men, one behind the other, crashed straight into the fence at the edge of the field.

—Boom!

The wooden planks of the fence were smashed by the back of the white wooden support.

Meanwhile, Pike, who had been hovering and lunging, finally lost momentum and landed on his knees under the combined force of gravity and the support of the white wood.

Splash splash splash splash...

The trail left behind billowing dust, along with four parallel tire tracks left by heels and knees.

"..."

The audience stared intently.

At this moment, Bai Mucheng's back had smashed through the edge of the field, and his hands were gripping Pike's upper arm tightly, grimacing as he strained to stand up.

"—!"

The Ten Demon Snake King was startled and immediately saw through the deception.

With his strength, Shiraki Cheng was obviously unable to stop Pike's fierce attack head-on, so he changed his approach and called for "helpers".

"—It's the ground!"

Wang Ma analyzed:

"Bai Mucheng's move, [Battle Aura Burst], although it has many variations, is essentially an 'explosion'."

"He used a diagonal burst of speed to forcefully slam Piccolo, who was leaping through the air, into the ground, ultimately causing Piccolo's knees to rub against the ground before he was completely knocked away!"

Wang Ma rubbed his hands together horizontally.

"And so, by combining the friction of the ground with his own strength, and with his back against the edge of the field—a combination of forces—he finally stopped Pike..."

"……Bar?"

At this point, Wang Ma suddenly ended with a question.

Because he suddenly remembered that Pike's "pounce" could continue, as long as he kicked forward again, and the force could even be greater than before!

"...?!"

And indeed, that was the case.

Pi can maintain his forward charging stance, baring his teeth and exerting force, pushing off the ground with the balls of his feet, and gradually lifting his knees off the ground.

He lunged forward with his legs in a lunge position, continuing to press towards the white wooden frame.

Because Shiraki Sei was holding onto Pike's arm, the two were almost face to face, not far apart.

Clack clack...

It was clear that Bai Mucheng was no match for Pike's monstrous strength. His upper body gradually leaned backward, and the wooden railing behind him was about to be crushed.

The next moment—

Swish!

Bai Mucheng jumped up with his back foot, then kicked off diagonally backward with great force, completely shattering the fence behind him with both feet, and then jumped forward and headbutted.

[Zangief's headbutt]!

Boom!

Bai Mucheng's forehead slammed heavily into Pi Ke's nose, instantly causing blood and tears to stream down his face.

puff!

"~~~~!"

Pi Ke immediately frowned upon being hit, and stopped putting pressure on his feet.

Bai Mucheng finally managed to break free, and his left arm simultaneously completed its "exhaustion" phase, unleashing a barrage of jabs that repeatedly struck Pi Ke's center line.

【Edge's Mental Flash Punch】!

Bang bang bang!

Pike's body was forced to stand upright by the force of the blows.

"Stop!"

Bai Mucheng shouted and kicked Pi Ke in the throat with his right foot, hitting the upper part of Pi Ke's body.

[Ryuo Uppercut Kick]!

Boom!

……

……

A series of fierce attacks left the audience sweating profusely.

Among them, Kaoru Hanayama couldn't help but look puzzled.

Having once clashed head-on with Piccolo, Kaoru Hanayama has a deep understanding of Piccolo's superhuman strength.

Therefore, after seeing Shiraki Cheng switch from defense to offense, Kaoru Hanayama tilted her head and asked, "Was Shiraki's counterattack intentional, or was it a spur-of-the-moment decision?"
