Super Fighting Tokyo.

As everyone was talking.

After several detours, the two in the arena returned to the center, closing the distance between them once again and drawing closer to each other.

Retsukaioh let out a soft breath, "Hoo..."

Wang Ma's gaze sharpened, and he quickly closed in on Lie Haiwang with [Fire Walk], while simultaneously tensing his right leg muscles and forcefully sweeping it high.

"what!"

【Iron-type Crushing Kick】!

Splat!

The kick, delivered with the instep, struck Retsu Kaioh squarely in the face, causing him to fall backward as if about to be knocked down.

But to everyone's surprise, Retsu Kaioh rolled backwards and landed lightly without being injured in the slightest.

"—!?"

Sheath Fragrance exclaimed in surprise, "Although it looked dangerous, it's alright! Retsukai-oh dodged Ohma's kick with a backflip!"

"..."

But Wang Ma's expression was very strange.

It's not the kind of frustration and annoyance that comes from having your move neutralized, but rather the feeling that you've landed a kick, yet the technique just doesn't work.

...was it invalidated?

Wang Ma suddenly realized something and couldn't help but recall that duel of "strength and skill".

— Guo Haihuang VS Hanma Yujiro!

In that battle, Guo Haihuang, who was at the pinnacle of boxing, displayed a unique technique called "Power Dissipation," which deflected Yujiro's heavy punches countless times.

Could it be that……

Looking at the leisurely standing King of the Sea, King Ma suddenly pushed off the ground and charged forward.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Wang Ma quickly closed in on Retsukai-oh, aiming at his opponent's core waist and abdomen, and delivered a powerful punch to the center.

[Diamond-shaped Iron Shard]!

Swish!

The hardened, heavy punch landed squarely on Retsu Kaioh's abs.

This time, Ohma felt it more clearly; his fist had indeed touched Retsu Kaioh's skin and was gradually pressing in.

But the next moment—

咻~~~

Wang Ma felt the pressure on his fist suddenly decrease, until finally nothing was left.

It was like throwing a punch that missed, or rather, hitting a "feather" instead!

His own fist passed right through Retsu Kaioh's body!

At the same time, Retsukai-oh touched the ground with the ball of his right foot and rotated his entire body clockwise in the direction from which the fist came.

Swish swish!

After spinning around five or six times, Retsu Kaioh finally stopped and landed on his feet again.

Wang Ma stared wide-eyed at this scene.

He was certain that his punch had landed, and that Retsu Kaioh hadn't "dodged" by spinning, but had only started spinning after being hit!

Retsu Kaioh wasn't dodging just now; he was simply relaxing.

It is the ultimate relaxation, ultimately transcending the state of "exhaustion" and reaching that realm that only Guo Haihuang could ever attain.

The realm of energy dissipation!!

"Is that so...?"

A few beads of cold sweat trickled down Wangma's forehead as he looked at the relaxed Retsu Kaioh. "Retsu, you've learned how to 'dissipate energy' now..."

……

……

Qinglong Passage Entrance.

"Energy dissipation—"

Guo Haihuang raised his withered finger and wrote the two characters in the air, then introduced them to the others:

"Throughout history, martial artists have honed their muscles and bones, trained their bodies, and tempered their skin to forge their entire bodies into a thick wall."

"In this way, if we are attacked by a half-baked opponent, we can immediately bounce back."

"What I've said so far is all within the scope of what you all know."

"But that's not technology."

"It's not even on the same level as what's called advanced technology."

"So, what should we do?"

Guo Haihuang smiled faintly:

"It would be fine as long as it turns into a 'feather'."

"Eliminate the body's unconscious movements, and completely remove all stubborn stiffness from the muscles, bones, tendons, and so on."

"In removing that stiffness, the hard walls of the body will begin to have the flexibility of an ice pack, then become as light as paper, and finally become a feather."

"If one reaches the realm of feathers, the thick wall will cease to exist."

"Even the wind, bullets, and missiles will only pass through your body in vain."

"If you cultivate to the point of perfecting the power dissipation realm, then even a sharp blade will pose no threat to you!"

Behind Guo Haihuang's round-framed sunglasses, a glimmer of anticipation shone faintly.

Lie, to what extent can you truly comprehend the power of dissipation I have taught you...?

Give it a try!

……

……

On the arena.

Bang!

Wang Ma moved again, quickly cutting behind Retsu Kaioh, avoiding his line of sight so that Retsu Kaioh could not notice him immediately.

【Fire Sky Type o Ghost Step】!

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Wang Ma pressed forward rapidly, unleashing a flurry of rapid punches from both sides, with no discernible pattern, yet as fierce as a flood.

【Water and Sky Type O Water Swallow】!

*Clap clap clap clap clap!*

At this moment, Lie Haiwang turned around, raised his arms to block continuously, and used his wrists and elbows to deflect Wang Ma's fast punches one by one.

But these are all just feints!

Retsukai instantly saw through it, maintained his stance, and neutralized all of Wangma's punches, elbows, and even the kicks that came from behind.

The real attack should be...

this!

Retsu Kaioh's peripheral vision was fixed on Ohma's lower middle section.

Swish!

Wang Ma's figure suddenly curled up, and he quickly dived down in the form of [Fire Sky Type O Flame Water], making a move to capture the Sea King.

But the next second, Wang Ma suddenly changed his move, pushing off the ground from below and throwing out his right fist diagonally.

[Diamond-shaped Iron Shard]!

Swish!

It turns out that Ohma's real goal was to attack the jaw!

"..."

Facing a punch powerful enough to shatter concrete, Retsu Kaioh remained unfazed, relaxing his entire body to absorb the force, letting the punch take the fall on his jaw.

Swish!

Retsu Kaioh's eyes glazed over, his arms rose, and his body flipped backward once more.

After spinning once in place, Retsu Kaioh landed again with only a slight abrasion on his jaw and his head completely unaffected.

Wang Ma's powerful punch landed, but it had absolutely no effect!

Even as he landed on one foot, Retsu Kaioh seized the opening in Ohma's punch and launched a flying kick using the momentum of his flip.

Swish!

Retsukai pushed off the ground and twisted his waist, kicking Ohma hard. Ohma couldn't dodge in time and was kicked squarely in the face.

bang——

Swish!

Wang Ma was kicked away, falling backward several meters, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, before finally collapsing to the ground with a thud.

……

……

Guo Haihuang laughed and said, "The battle with the Erhuliu martial artist was purely accidental. Neither Lie nor I expected it to develop this way, but it can be considered a kind of real combat."

"In other words, Lie's dissipation of power was a method he prepared to deal with Miyamoto Musashi."
