Super Fighting Tokyo.

Bai Mucheng's eyes gleamed as he aimed for an opening in the attack.

The foot rolls and generates power, while the right palm pushes forward.

[Long Bo's slap!]

"Stop!"

Snapped!

This blow struck Murobuchi Gozo's jaw.

An invisible fist was thrown out at the same time, instantly piercing through his head.

As a result, not only did Murobuchi Gozo's brain shake and collide inside his skull, but his thoughts were also blasted to the ends of the earth!

"..."

Pfft!

Murobuchi Tsuyoshi rolled to the ground, trembled, and finally his eyes rolled back, ending his memory there.

Chapter 597 Win or Lose

Alas!

That feels so good...

In a daze, Murobuchi Gozo felt as if he were dreaming, lying on the beach on vacation, warmed by the sun.

Splash, splash, splash...

As he listened to the crashing waves, he vaguely recalled something.

It seems like... I'm in a fight?

Oh right, it's with Shiraki Cheng.

But the outcome is far from certain—

Although I used all my tricks in an instant, they were still seen through and blocked. Then, in a short moment, everything was settled.

It seems like he was deflected by a flying knee strike with his left hand?

Despite my all-out, fastest knee strike, Shiraki Sei was able to react in time and even deflect it with just his left arm!?

Its reaction speed is extraordinary, and its explosive power is beyond human comprehension!

Then, I was struck on the jaw with his palm, and at the same time, my head was hit by a fist. My consciousness dissipated and I flew to the horizon.

That was so much fun!

Murobuchi Gozo thought to himself, but then suddenly remembered something.

like……

He suddenly remembered that before he lost consciousness, he had seen Bai Mucheng's expression, which seemed very strange.

It was clear that Shiramu Cheng was seriously enjoying the duel, performing each move with exceptional care, completely immersed in the experience.

But amidst that feeling of enjoyment, there was also a touch of reluctance.

It felt as if he were speaking to Gozo Murobuchi:

Ahh...! Mr. Murobuchi, please stand up quickly! Please try other moves! Please fight me one more time!

but--

Murobuchi Gozo had to admit that the combination of feints and real attacks was his current highest level.

Therefore, he was indeed unable to fulfill Bai Mucheng's request.

……

……

With a hint of apology, Murobuchi Gozo fell into a deep sleep on the illusory beach.

When I woke up again, I saw the ceiling.

He was taken to the arena's medical room and is resting in bed.

"..."

Murobuchi turned his head three times and found Okubo sitting by the bed, keeping him company.

Okubo was reading when he noticed Murobuchi Gozo's movement. "Oh, are you awake?"

Murobuchi Gozo rubbed his chin and clicked his tongue. "How long was I unconscious?"

"About half an hour."

"I see."

Murobuchi Gozo raised an eyebrow in exasperation, leaning against the pillows on the bed. "Even though I tried my best, I was still utterly defeated..."

Suddenly, someone spoke from the other side of the hospital bed.

Me too.

Murobuchi looked in the direction of the sound and found another hospital bed next to him.

Lying on it was a person, none other than [Thor] Zero, who lost the previous match.

At this moment, Yu Lei Ling's right arm, chest, and both feet were all wrapped in several layers of thick bandages, and his right arm was still hanging from his neck.

He was resting his head on Kurakichi Rino's lap, eating fruit that his lover had handed him.

Rino greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Murobuchi."

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Murobuchi Gozo was a very outgoing and easy-going person, so he spoke frankly about his confusion.

"Young Master Yu Lei, as an assassin, you actually took the initiative to challenge Yu Di Du Bu. Perhaps you feel the same way I do?"

Yu Lei Ling frowned slightly, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"It's that one, that one..."

Murobuchi Gozo tried to describe it, saying, "Ever since watching that father-son battle, I've had this kind of premonition of impulse no matter what I do?"

Yu Leiling then nodded.

Gozo Murobuchi continued, “I couldn’t stop at all; I had to constantly release myself, otherwise I would feel unsatisfied.”

"In the very last..."

Murobuchi Tsuyoshi grinned, "I just want to find a good opponent to fight!"

Yu Leiling: "..."

He remained silent, and Rino answered for him, "Just as Mr. Murobuchi said, Zero has been feeling this way lately, which is why I arranged this match for him."

Upon hearing this, Murobuchi Tsuyoshi grinned. "So, how are you feeling now?"

Rei Mikage rested his head on Rino's knees, gazing upwards.

Finally, she whispered, "I feel much better."

Even though his right arm and legs were almost ruined and he needed to rest for a while, Yu Lei Ling had to admit that he felt much better.

"Haha, just as I expected! You're in superb form!"

Murobuchi laughed heartily, slapping his thigh three times. He exhaled and said, "After being knocked unconscious and waking up, I feel much better. I can finally laugh again."

"In other words, we are both temporarily satisfied."

He recalled Shiraki's expression.

"Both Brother Shiraki and Mr. Yuchi went to watch that father-son battle live. They must be quite busy, right?"

"Although those two people were seriously competing with us."

"But the two of us probably won't be able to satisfy them, will we?"

"That's why they had those expressions..."

Murobuchi Tsuyoshi pursed his lips and sighed.

"Perhaps the real winners tonight are the two of us, because we've found satisfaction for now."

"And Shiraki-kun and Mr. Gokuchi—those two are probably still feeling troubled, yawning because they can't vent their frustrations!"

"Hahahaha!"

……

……

At the same time, the giant egg external connector.

After a short rest, the group left together.

Tokugawa was in a great mood that night and planned to treat everyone to a late-night snack, chatting and laughing all the way.

Shiraki Shōwa and Doppo – the two victors, were each held by one of Tokugawa's hands, and walked side by side.

But as they walked, Doppo and Shiraki Cheng started yawning.

"Haa~!"

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but after a while, he started yawning incessantly, which made Tokugawa's expression strange, and eventually he became so anxious that he was covered in sweat.

The old man jumped up and shouted, "What's going on?! Is eating with me really that boring?"

Doppo and Shiraki looked at each other, then helplessly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

They all knew that, from a "willful" perspective, without feeling satisfied, they could hardly be considered "winners" tonight.
