I teach judo in Tokyo.

Clearly, while he was cautious, he also had his own pride and was unwilling to admit that the boy in the audience, who was not even twenty years old, could possibly be stronger than him, a seasoned and talented fighter.

He thought for a moment, then typed in his reply.

Atsushi Yokoi: [Master, I'll be careful, but I think Ying shouldn't be a big problem.]

After a while, his master replied with a few words.

Snake Fang, long believed: [Take care of yourself.]

Atsushi Yokoi put down his phone, his cold, venomous gaze continuing to sweep over the handsome young man in the audience.

Atobe Sousuke seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked at a corner of the audience. His powerful eyesight immediately spotted the guy from the Snakebite style.

Their eyes met, and they both smiled.

Sosuke's smile was broadcast in detail to the big screen by the camera.

The girls immediately erupted in screams and cheers.

Before long, the quarterfinals began as scheduled, and the team he faced was none other than his old rival, Jing Dashan.

As a result, he was still easily defeated by Sousuke.

Forty daredevils are rewarded!

They have already matched and surpassed the record set by Goro Daimon back then!

The people from Hefeng were incredibly excited.

The organizers even broadcast his achievement over a loudspeaker to congratulate him on breaking a precious record that hadn't been broken in twenty years.

However, this is not Sousuke's limit.

In the ensuing semi-finals, Sosuke faced Shohoku High School from Kanagawa Prefecture.

Although the team has two very strong players, the vanguard "Sakuragi Hanamichi" achieved the "Fifteen Daring Fighting Award" in yesterday's elimination round with his monstrous stamina, and the gatekeeper "Aota Tatsuhiko" is a master whose strength is no less than that of Tachibana Shohei, the ace of Fudomine that Sosuke encountered.

However, in Sousuke's hands, the two who gave their all were no different from the others.

The incredibly brave Sakuragi, on the contrary, fell down faster than the average player under Sousuke's Manipulation Form because of his fearless and relentless attacks.

Although Aota Tatsuhiko looked much more composed and had stronger technique and physique, he only lasted a little longer than other regular fighters in the hands of Sousuke.

To show respect for this guy's strength, Sousuke finished him off with a mountain storm.

Forty-five dare-to-fight reward!

Amidst the cheers of "Atobe" filling the arena, he casually wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and calmly walked off the field.

However, although it was effortless, the tense crowd immediately pulled him to a chair and tried their best to relieve his fatigue in the last moments.

Yumi Mifune massaged his upper body with all her might.

Yotsuba Saki nervously took a bottle of energy drink and fed him water.

Even Wufang Suzi handed him a piece of candy to temporarily replenish his energy.

Iga Yahiko leaned over excitedly: "Quick, take a break, the final starts in five minutes."

Then, he said seriously, "As you just saw, Suzuran is indeed the winner. They defeated Fudomine and became our final opponent. Although Fudomine forced Takiya Kunio, who had been promoted to Admiral, to fight two matches thanks to Shinji Itate and Shohei Tachibana, his stamina still seems to be sufficient..."

In his view, Takiya Kunio, who adjusted his strategy, greatly conserved his energy and seemed to have the advantage over Atobe Sousuke, who scored 45 points in a row and played the entire match.

Sosuke responded to the minister's concerns with a smile.

He stood up and stretched his body briefly, then laughed and said, "After forty-five consecutive battles, the opponents have all been the same old ones. I'm getting a little tired of them. I'm really looking forward to this final round!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look in the other direction: "I suppose he feels the same way..."

"Who?" Iga Yahiko was taken aback for a moment, then immediately followed Sousuke's gaze.

Five athletes, all dressed in blue judo uniforms and exuding a roguish, delinquent-like aura, walked over in a group.

Standing in the middle, leading the way, was none other than Sosuke's final opponent—Takiya Kunio.

He strode up to Sousuke, his expression excited and full of fighting spirit: "Hey, kid Atobe, have you had enough rest?"

He paused for a moment, then added, "If I haven't had enough rest, I can ask the organizers to postpone the start of the competition. I don't want to be associated with an unfair victory."

Sousuke tilted his head and replied with a smile, "Thanks for your concern, but I'm in great shape right now!"

"That's good!" Takiya Kunio smiled happily, then said seriously, "You should also adjust your position to General, so I won't take advantage of you."

Sosuke held up a finger and waved it: "You're overthinking it. My goal has always been to dominate the entire field."

"If you really don't want to take advantage of me, then just trade for Vanguard."

Chapter 161 The Final Battle of the Golden Eagle Flag

As expected, Kunio Takiya moved his position back to vanguard.

Standing on the stage, Sosuke looked at the chuckling delinquent in front of him and tilted his head with a wry smile.

"I don't like taking advantage of people, especially when it comes to fighting." Genji Takiya clenched his fist, making a series of cracking sounds from his joints.

"A foul! Takiya, this is a game, not a fight. Watch your words!" The referee next to him glared at him.

Before the fight even started, this guy had already committed a foul.

Kunio Takiya's face flushed red, and he wanted to say something more, but Sousuke, who couldn't stand it any longer, interrupted him: "Alright, stop talking. If you keep going, I'm afraid you'll be on the field before I even make a move."

"Karaaaa! Let's go then!" Takiya Kunio held back his words and then got into a fighting stance.

Sosuke smiled and straightened up slightly.

Seeing that the two players were already in the zone, the referee stopped delaying and immediately raised his hand to announce the start of the match.

"come on!!!"

A huge roar immediately erupted from the crowd.

Amidst the thunderous clamor, Takiya Kunio roared and charged toward Sousuke.

His skill level is almost unparalleled compared to other players of the same period.

Of course, the technical gap is actually limited; this guy doesn't seem to specialize in judo.

His true specialty in self-defense is fighting—specifically, street brawls.

What allowed Kunio Takiya to dominate this match with a pitching skill rating of "11" was the vocabulary.

Just like Emi Yotsuba, his stats can comprehensively enhance his own strength.

In unsystematic terms, special geniuses like Yotsuba Saki and Takiya Kunio can influence their bodies with their will, thereby gaining stronger reflexes, sharper fighting instincts, and more refined techniques.

The next second, he had firmly grasped Atobe Sousuke's judo uniform.

"Karaaaaa!" Takiya Kunio unleashed tremendous power, pulling hard with both hands and tripping Sousuke's foot with his foot, using the "Otogari" technique to slam Atobe Sousuke violently into the ground.

With a faint smile on his face, Sosuke easily dodged the other man's hooking foot by simply lifting his foot, then grabbed Kunio's sleeve and slammed him to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the balance of power had been reversed.

Kunio Takiya's eyes widened, and he shouted again at this crucial moment.

The sound was so loud that it almost drowned out the shouts of the entire audience.

Then, the hand that Sousuke had grabbed his sleeve with suddenly pulled away, the force of which far exceeded what a normal person should have.

Using the force of this twitching motion, his body spun in the air, forcibly changing his back-down position to face-down.

The next second, his face hit the ground hard, slamming onto the tatami mat.

He barely escaped the consequences of having one of his books taken by Sousuke.

Sosuke twitched his lips and took two steps back.

If he had immediately followed up with ground techniques and attacked with grappling, he would have been 100% guaranteed to win.

But that wouldn't be fun.

"Damn it!" Takiya Kunio pushed himself up with his hands on the ground, blood already coming out of his nostrils.

Although tatami mats are soft, you can still get hurt if you slap your face on them without any precautions.

Especially sensitive areas like the nose.

"Hey, don't you want to stop the bleeding?" Sosuke scratched his head, finding it a bit funny to see the other person's nosebleed staining their lips red.

Upon hearing this, Kunio Takiya reached out and wiped his hand, immediately staining the sleeve of his dark blue judo uniform.

He grinned excitedly and said forcefully, "You really are strong, probably even stronger than that guy Hui. But I will definitely defeat you!"

"If you can't even beat people your own age, how can you talk about dominating Suzuran?!"

After a somewhat embarrassing, passionate, and somewhat childish speech by Sousuke.

In Sousuke's view, the "Hot-blooded Delinquent" sign above his head, which had been burning slightly, suddenly turned into a raging fire.

Then, with a howl, he suddenly pushed off with his feet and charged towards Sosuke at a speed far exceeding what he had initially achieved.

The next second, he suddenly reached out towards Sosuke.

No, it's less of a reach and more of a punch!

He was fighting Sosuke using parrying techniques and street fighting skills—that was his forte.

Sosuke raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

This is the moment we've been waiting for.

But don't break the rules!

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and firmly grasped Takiya Kunio's fist in an instant.

Ultimate Technique Activated – Manipulation Style: Willow!

In Sousuke's perception, Takiya Kunio opposite him seemed to have transformed into a semi-transparent ethereal body, with countless arrow-shaped lines flowing continuously within his body, like a stream.

Most of the "streams" rose from the ground, passed through his thighs, were gathered and strengthened by his twisting waist, and finally went up along the way, passing through his spine, shoulders, and upper arms, and finally converged on the fist he was clenching.

Those streams—that's the direction in which power flows!

Just then, Takiya Kunio was shocked that Sosuke was able to grab his fist. He reacted extremely quickly, adjusting his body and immediately reaching out with his other hand.

As soon as Kunio made that move, Sousuke sensed that the flow of power within his body immediately changed direction.

In an instant, Sousuke raised his hand in advance and, just in time, used a chop to deflect Kunio's hand, then grabbed his wrist with a backhand.

Kunio Takiya looked on in disbelief. He roared and his hands, which were being held captive, trembled violently, but he could not break free from Sousuke's grasp no matter what he did.

Their hands seemed glued together, completely inseparable.

"What tricks are you playing!" Takiya Kunio's face turned red with anger.

"I've seen right through your intentions," Sosuke said quickly and calmly.

Then, he raised an eyebrow.

In his perception, the flow of the other party's power shifted dramatically once again.

"Damn it! Here, you'll have to try this!"

Kunio twisted his waist and lifted his hips, and his right foot kicked out instantly!

In his desperation, he disregarded the rules of judo and, relying on his street fighting instincts, used his signature move in full view of everyone.

My own high-speed kicking technique – the Mach Kick!

The entire audience stared wide-eyed, not even having time to gasp in surprise.

Immediately afterward, their eyes widened even more as they gasped in surprise.

Despite being ambushed, Sousuke remained calm and subtly moved the hands that were holding his opponent.

Since we can perfectly sense the flow of our opponent's power, we only need to exert some influence on its flow...

Kunio Takiya, who fouled by kicking out with his right leg, was inexplicably thrown into the air!

His powerful kick was instantly redirected by Sousuke, turning into an upward kick. Then, propelled by this out-of-control force, he was forced to somersault in mid-air and crash heavily to the ground!
