Super Fighting Tokyo.

"..."

Bai Mucheng slightly raised his head, scanning his surroundings in response to the audience.

The audience, witnessing this scene, were speechless, staring in disbelief at the scene before them, unable to even utter a cheer.

Only Katahara Sayaka's voice resonated throughout the venue, amplified by the microphone.

"【Fang of Destruction】has been defeated!"

"Known for his invincibility, he won over 160 consecutive matches and became the ultimate emperor of the Kengan Association."

"Defeated by the [Fighting Spirit] from the streets—that terrifying level of strikes and unpredictable fighting skills!"

"What terrifying fighting techniques!"

"What an amazing [Battle Spirit] Shiraki Sei!!"

"The ending was so shocking that the entire audience was speechless!"

"..."

In fact, it's much more than just being "speechless".

Wu Huili looked surprised, while Wu Lei'an, the "Demon," was grinning from ear to ear.

[Monster] Jack Fanma slowly took off his sunglasses, repeatedly recalling and savoring the battle he had just fought;

Hao Hongye crossed his arms, recalling the semi-transparent, invisible fist, and quietly commented on it.

[Martial Saint] Shechuan Gangqi gazed at [Martial God] Yuji Dubu from afar, and [Ultimate Weapon] Yuji Katsumi beside him.

The three of them exchanged glances, then lowered their heads and pursed their lips, unable to forget the memory for a long time.

"..."

The warrior known as "Tiger" Wakatsuki, who considered Kanagawa a formidable rival, stood with his arms crossed and sighed, "This battle was truly extraordinary!"

"..."

On the other side, Kaeya, the God of Earth, noticed that his teacher, Izou Motobu, had a clearly strange expression.

“Kaiya…”

Honbu Izou looked conflicted, muttering to himself, when suddenly he uttered a startling statement, "We're doomed! This is going to be tough on Shiraki-kun!"

Kaeya: "?"

Kaeya: "Huh~~~?"

Dealing with Shiraki-kun? What does the teacher mean by this?

"..."

The experts each have their own ideas.

Tokugawa Mitsunari could not hide his joy and truly admired this wonderful battle.

As expected of the emperor of the Kengan Association!

That truly lives up to its name, "Fighting Spirit"!

To Tokugawa's surprise, Miyamoto Musashi, who was standing next to him, was also smiling and rubbing his chin.

Oh! What an honor!

Even the peerless Miyamoto Musashi is savoring this battle!

"Mr. Musashi."

Tokugawa Mitsunari was sweating nervously and tentatively asked, "What are your thoughts on this battle?"

"Well……"

Musashi's downturned lips curled up slightly. "Let's just say it's... pretty ordinary."

"usually……??"

Tokugawa's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you think this battle was ordinary?!"

Musashi, however, remained calm. "Yes, although I lost quite a bit of blood, it was really nothing unusual! By the way, is it my turn next?"

Upon hearing this, Tokugawa was so shocked that he froze and could not utter a word.

"..."

Just then, She Xiang noticed something unusual on the field.

"I...I always feel..."

Something feels off!

Seemingly shocked by the ferocity of the battle, She Xiang noticed several details after the match.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Shiraki Cheng is still keeping an eye on Gana Ae!"

As Qiaoxiang spoke, the audience immediately noticed—

Shiraki, who was still on the field, stood proudly beside the unconscious Kano.

Not quite the same...

The light emanating from those eyes was somewhat different from that of the [Fighting Spirit] who was usually active in underground battles!

It wasn't the kind of friendly look one might give when admiring a worthy opponent.

Of course, there was no anger or resentment.

The way Shiraki looked at Kanao was filled with longing and expectation, and even a hint of grievance that he couldn't suppress.

"Shiraki Cheng...is he expecting something?"

"What is he expecting? Is he looking forward to the next battle with Gana?"

Qiaoxiang was puzzled, but suddenly, in a moment of inspiration, she uttered a chilling deduction.

"Is Shiraki Shigeki hoping that Kano Aki can stand up right now and fight him again...!?"

"..."

Watching this scene unfold, even the sideline doctor dared not approach.

Thanks to Tokugawa's invitation of the "famous doctor" - the "anatomical demon" Hideaki - to come and keep things under control, the other doctors were able to relax a little.

Even so, the doctors on the sidelines couldn't help but wonder:

Did Shiraki Sei really think the match was over?

"..."

After a brief silence, Bai Mucheng turned around and staggered away, limping towards the entrance of the White Tiger Passage he had come from.

During the journey, Bai Mucheng suddenly raised his right fist.

Only then did She Xiang finally breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Bai Mucheng raised his right fist, making a victory sign!"

"We should cheer for such a victor!"

This shout brought the audience back to their senses.

They looked at Bai Mucheng's right fist and cheered again, making up for their previous slackness.

"Well done! [Fighting Spirit]!"

"That's incredible!"

"That final move was fantastic!!"

"..."

Hearing the cheers and applause, Bai Mucheng staggered over the fence on the side of the White Tiger, where he was supported by Wu Fengshui and Fan Ma Renya on either side.

Wu Fengshui wanted to congratulate Bai Mucheng, but he suddenly stopped himself from speaking.

For some reason, the girl suddenly felt that Shiramu Cheng's condition did not seem like he had just won a hard-fought battle; it had a sense of "normality."

The feeling was so peaceful that it was almost eerily calm!

"..."

Wu Fengshui blinked hesitantly.

Seeing the girl like this, Bai Mucheng suddenly bared his teeth and staggered, spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam, and complained with a bitter smile, "It hurts so much!"

Wu Fengshui was slightly relieved.

On the other hand, Hanma Baki actually understands Shiraki Sho's state better.

Back then, in the final of the "Biggest Tournament" in the underground arena, he faced his brother Jack Vanma and ultimately won by guillotine choke.

During that battle, his back muscles, which had been striking him, began to resemble a "ghost" for the first time.

Even after the battle was decided, Baki, who was already covered in wounds and had even lost several teeth, still wanted to continue fighting!

—That feeling of almost being devoured.

Baki Hanma could empathize with him.

"Brother Bai Mu..."

Baki stared at Shiraki's face and reminded him, "Don't make such exaggerated expressions, you'll scare people!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng's usually angry and glaring face finally softened and returned to its normal state.

"Great, fantastic...!"

Shiraki Cheng laughed and said, "If you want to stand on the same level as Miyamoto Musashi, you really have to be a little more 'ordinary,' right?"

Baki pouted and thought for a moment.

Shiraki Cheng grinned and added, "It's that kind of everyday thing, where you can't even hold back anymore..."

Baki felt helpless and nodded in agreement, "When facing Miyamoto Musashi, you have to act as usual; that's what 'preparation' means."

After saying that, the boy laughed again:

"Speaking of which, before the two of us figure out how to confront Miyamoto Musashi, the first thing Miyamoto Musashi needs to face is that super strong old man, right?"
