"As for that werewolf player, I didn't expect him to be so strong."

"I feel like he looks vaguely familiar..."

"And he seems to be holding back."

Chapter 31: The Final Match, Garou Chooses to Forfeit

"Ah."

Listening to Bang's words, King could only nod as if he understood.

In reality, in his eyes now, there is no difference between werewolves and water dragons.

In any case, none of them are my match.

Who do you all think has a higher probability of winning?

Bangu turned to look at the others.

"I think werewolves are fast, accurate, and ruthless."

Atomic Samurai said,

"This ruthlessness is somewhat similar to yours, Silver Fang."

"I think Shuilong's image is more suitable to be a champion, and he is also more popular."

Sweet Mask said he favors Suiryu.

"This is a martial arts competition, not a talent show. It has nothing to do with popularity or image."

Upon hearing Sweet Mask's words, Atomic Samurai smiled with a hint of disdain.

"I did not ask for your opinion."

Sweet Mask immediately retorted. As he spoke, the veins on his neck gradually appeared, almost bursting out of his skin, but he quickly calmed down as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. King, what do you think?"

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two heroes, Bang immediately changed the subject.

"As for me... I feel that their strengths are about the same, there's not much difference."

King replied that, to him, distinguishing between a werewolf and a water dragon was like asking which of two ants was stronger.

"That's true."

Bangu nodded in agreement.

Based on their current performance, the Water Dragon and the Werewolf players are very evenly matched in terms of skill.

Although both players were holding back, Bang felt that the werewolf player seemed to be hiding more.

Furthermore, the werewolf player's fighting style is Wolf Fist, but Bang has yet to see the opponent use any of those moves.

Bang hadn't expected the werewolf to be so strong.

This is somewhat illogical.

However, there is no doubt that the battle between these two will be one of the biggest highlights of this competition.

"You look very strong."

Water Dragon looked at the werewolf in front of him with a smile, feeling very curious about the other's identity.

"And what you're using isn't the so-called Wolf Fist."

The werewolf standing opposite him ignored the water dragon and focused his attention on the guest seats.

His gaze was initially fixed on King, but quickly shifted to Bang, as if he were deep in thought.

"Next up is the grand final of this martial arts tournament!"

"The young powerhouse Shuilong, who has won the championship several times, will face off against the dark horse Werewolf!"

"Both sides entered the final with an almost overwhelming advantage!"

What kind of sparks will this competition ignite? Let's wait and see!

"The match is about to begin!"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle to start the match, the Water Dragon immediately launched an attack.

He moved in an instant to the werewolf's front, ready to take the initiative.

This is enough to show that Suiryu has absolute confidence in his own strength. Generally speaking, fighters will test each other before fighting and will not make a move rashly.

Unless one believes they possess absolute power over the other.

If it were the Water Dragon of the past, he might have deliberately tested the werewolf, a hidden opponent, to see how strong he truly was and to have some fun in the battle. For him, no matter how powerful the opponent was, they could never defeat him.

But right now, Shuilong doesn't want to waste too much time in front of the werewolves. He just wants to win the championship as soon as possible and then get the chance to spar with King.

So the water dragon decided to kill it in one fell swoop.

boom!

A loud bang made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

However, things didn't turn out the way Shui Long had hoped. He had thought this attack would end the battle, but the werewolf crossed his arms and blocked the fierce blow.

After parrying the opponent's attack, the werewolf grabbed the water dragon's wrist and then suddenly tried to throw him away.

However, Shuilong was no ordinary person. He used the force to spin around in mid-air and then unleashed a spinning kick at the werewolf.

The water dragon's kick was incredibly fierce, like a sharp guillotine, even tearing through the air with a crisp sound.

The werewolf immediately leaned back, his back almost touching the ground, avoiding the attack. The water dragon's kick grazed the werewolf's hood.

In the instant he dodged the water dragon's attack, the werewolf reached out, preparing to seize the opportunity to launch an attack.

A slightly excited smile appeared on the werewolf's face beneath the mask.

No one knew that the werewolf's identity had already been replaced.

The person who replaced him was none other than Garou—Bang's former top disciple.

Several years ago, believing he had run out of skills to learn at the dojo, he took advantage of Bang's absence to defeat and severely injure all of Bang's disciples, ultimately leading to his expulsion from the dojo and becoming a notorious villain in the eyes of society.

Because of this incident, all the other disciples left the dojo. Only Chalan, who was not present at the time, escaped unscathed, which is why Chalan is the only one left in Banggu's dojo now.

Over the past few years, Hungry Wolf has worked his way up, constantly improving his strength.

This martial arts tournament was a goal that Hungry Wolf set for himself—to compete against top fighters and see just how strong he really was.

Because of his villainous identity and his lack of money and connections to register for the competition, the Hungry Wolf chose to infiltrate the venue and replace the werewolf contestant.

Garou originally intended to make Suiryu his biggest rival in this dojo event.

However, Garou's attitude changed after learning that King and Bang had arrived.

"Now is not the time to show our true strength."

"That old man might see through my disguise..."

"This is a great opportunity to fight King, and I absolutely cannot miss it."

"However, I was a bit hesitant during the match, so I thought I'd wait until after the match to go see him."

The hungry wolf muttered to himself.

His current target is King, the strongest human on Earth. Compared to King, the Water Dragon is insignificant.

The rules of the match would restrict Garou's actions, and if he used his full strength, Bang might discover his identity. Therefore, Garou decided to fight King after the match.

So Garou immediately calmed down and stopped his attack.

"He's got some skills."

Shuilong smiled slightly, widening the distance between himself and his opponent, unaware that he had momentarily revealed a flaw.

This chapter has not been approved.

In the exchange just now, although the Water Dragon dominated the offensive, the Werewolf's defense and evasion were perfect, and the Water Dragon did not gain any advantage.

"This werewolf is quite skilled and seems to have a lot of practical experience. He doesn't look like a newcomer who hasn't been around for long."

Bang, who was watching the game, spoke slowly.

"And this guy is holding back... I'm really looking forward to his next performance."

However, Bang's attention was focused on Garou, who was in disguise.

He always felt that this person's aura and movements were very similar to his former eldest disciple, but Bangu only had a suspicion and did not think much about it.

"It seems you're the same type of person as me."

Shui Long leaned his body slightly downward, lowering his center of gravity, revealing the full definition of his muscles.

Now he's ready to get completely serious.

Just as Suiryu assumed a fighting stance, Garou turned his gaze to the guest seats, glancing at King and Bang before walking out of the arena.

For him now, the outcome of this battle is meaningless.

In a competition, going out of bounds results in an immediate loss.

The werewolf player actually chose to forfeit!

All the spectators present were stunned by the werewolf's actions.

"What's the meaning?!"

"They played so well up before, how could they just forfeit at the end?"

"This is match-fixing!"

For a time, complaints from the audience were incessant, and accusations of match-fixing echoed throughout the stadium.
