I teach judo in Tokyo.

The worst that would happen is that Motoko would cut off his hand with a single stroke—what a load of rubbish!

The only way to win is to rely on his unarmed skills...

"bass!"

A sharp sound rang out, and a flash of white light appeared.

Before Sōsuke could even make a decision, he saw that Motoko Gofuku had already drawn her sword and rushed in like a streak of lightning.

In a deadly battle, the opponent with the upper hand won't wait for you to come up with a countermeasure!

Run or fight?

Sosuke's mind raced.

The venue was large enough that he was confident he could outrun Motoko Gofuku even when he was exhausted.

However, he couldn't think of a cool way to escape, so if he ran away, his martial arts skills would definitely become invalid because he would lose all his coolness.

The next second, he made up his mind.

He immediately bent down, stomped on the ground, and charged forward.

Let's go first and talk later!

50% power – liberation!

A shackle within Sosuke's body breaks down, and his physical abilities are instantly enhanced.

The purplish-red surface was covered with root-like bumps.

If, at present, a 30% success rate release can last for three minutes, and a full-power release can last for thirty seconds.

With a 50% success rate in liberation, he can probably maintain it for one to two minutes!

Although this was due to his lack of skill and insufficient control over his body, resulting in a short duration.

However, we must not underestimate this explosive state, which can only be maintained for a "short" time.

A true life-or-death battle is often decided in a very short time!

Imagine two evenly matched individuals locked in a fierce battle, where one of them suddenly gains a significant boost in strength and speed. What impact would that have on the outcome of the fight?

The liberation took effect almost instantly.

Because this technique doesn't grant Sousuke any supernatural power.

It simply removed the natural constraints that existed in the body to protect the flesh through special means, allowing Sousuke's body to exert its "original" power.

In an instant, Sosuke's forward momentum accelerated dramatically.

Almost instantly, Wu Fang Su Zi appeared in front of her, much to her surprise!

Without a doubt, his physical abilities are far superior to those of Wufang Suzi!

He clenched his right fist, ready to strike first.

The next moment, Sosuke's eyes flashed, and he pushed off the ground with his feet, instantly leaping backward.

"Break!"

A flash of white light.

A rapid tearing sound filled the air.

As Sosuke swept backward in mid-air, the fabric of his shirt quietly tore open.

A long trail of blood appeared, and blood immediately began to seep out.

Before him, Motoko Gofuku remained expressionless, her hands gripping her katana in a diagonal slashing stance.

If he had been a fraction of a second later, he would have been disemboweled by now!

Not finished yet.

As Sosuke landed after being swept back, Motoko lunged forward, her katana swirling in her hand as she unleashed a series of fluid, rapid slashes.

This is a common combo move in the Shinto-ryu branch of swordsmanship, and it is usually named something like "May Rain".

The sharp, cold light emanating from the real sword drew nearly ten bright white trails in front of Sousuke.

We can't stop them, we can only retreat!

Sosuke was terrified and retreated hastily.

The sharp blade flashed before his eyes, almost slicing his clothes several times.

Only by truly facing the attack of a swordsman wielding a real sword with bare hands can one know the terrifying feeling of the blade being infinitely close to oneself.

Forget about fighting back, even hiding is terrifying.

Fearing that if they were even a little slow, Wu Fang Su Zi would catch up with them and enter her sword encirclement.

While Sousuke was desperately dodging, he tried to make a move several times, but no sooner had he made a move than Motoko Goka's katana followed up, not only blocking his movement but also seizing the opportunity to slash at his body.

He already had several gruesome wounds on his body from those attempts.

How can we fight this? There's no way we can fight it!

In the past, when watching movies and anime, how did those masters manage to sneak up on their opponents and touch their bodies directly when facing their opponents' gleaming blades?

Why is it that when it comes to him, there isn't even the slightest chance?

Frustrated, he realized that retreating and dodging was too disadvantageous in the face of Motoko's advance...

He turned and ran away decisively.

As he ran, the bonus from the martial arts skill point dropped, and he immediately felt his strength and momentum decrease significantly.

Forget about being classy or sophisticated; someone's about to be hacked to death, what's the point of being classy?

At least turning around and running away allowed me to escape danger!

As he ran, he quickly took stock of all the cards he had up his sleeve in his mind.

Liberation... has begun.

Cat Willow...you're asking for it.

Dianchen... If you can't get close, you're asking for death.

Mountain mist... Same as above.

The form of manipulating flow... same as above.

The earth was crushed...

and many more!

Crushing the earth!!!

Sosuke's eyes lit up!

......

As he ran, he looked back and saw Wufang Suzi continuously hacking at the reeds blocking her way, charging straight towards him.

The fierce sword strikes were not diminished in the slightest by the master-disciple relationship between the two.

After all, this Motoko Gotoku was just a tool projected by the system, with her own template loaded and her strength calculated three years later.

Based on the fresh, hot knife marks on his body, Sousuke had no doubt that if this "Motoko" seized the opportunity, she would not hesitate to kill him with her sword.

It's time to fight to the death!

Liberation power—100%!

Sosuke gritted his teeth, stomped his feet rapidly, and immediately jumped high in the opposite direction as he paused.

With his fully unleashed physical abilities, he moved with incredible speed, appearing almost instantly above Wufang Suzi.

Crushing the earth!!!

Recalling the effects of this SSR-level technique, Sousuke suppressed his inner fear.

His entire body was upright in the air, like an eagle swooping down on its prey, his left hand protecting his right, and his right hand forming a claw as he reached out to grab Wu Fang Su Zi.

Sosuke's behavior was highly illogical.

As any normal person knows, in reality, whether it's hand-to-hand combat or armed fighting, the most taboo thing is to jump with both feet off the ground.

Moreover, Sousuke was facing a swordsman wielding a knife with his bare hands, which was tantamount to handing himself over to the chopping block to be slaughtered.

Motoko Itsuka reacted very quickly to Sosuke's completely illogical behavior.

Without any mercy, she immediately stood still, gripped the knife with both hands, and assumed the stance of a ruthless swordsman, intending to skewer Atobe Sousuke into a human candied hawthorn with three thrusts.

'It's safe!'

When Atobe Sousuke saw that Motoko Gofuku neither dodged nor jumped up to fight, he felt a sense of relief.

The next second, Motoko's eyes narrowed, and she stabbed three times with lightning speed at Sousuke who was rushing towards her!

Sosuke was suspended in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, yet a sinister smile appeared on his face as he faced the deadly three-stage thrust.

It's just like that kind of super villain who is initially portrayed as a weakling being hunted down by the protagonist, but then turns the tide with a series of lightning strikes.

Above his head, which he couldn't see, the word "Martial Arts" reappeared as his aura changed.

The high-class vibe is back!

Immediately afterwards, in the trembling eyes of Motoko Gofuku, her unparalleled speed and triple thrust were effortlessly deflected by Sosuke's left palm, which was protecting his right hand!

Sosuke, who didn't even dare to get close just moments ago, is now facing the blade head-on with his bare hands, and is even able to control the direction of the blade with a strange technique.

This is an SSR-level skill—a super skill that is difficult for normal people to counter, as long as the activation conditions are met!

The next instant, Sousuke grabbed Motoko Itsuka's head with his large hand.

Then, using the hand that was grabbing her head as a fulcrum, she flipped herself down and stood steadily behind Motoko Gofuku.

Under the strange effect of idealism, Wu Fang Su Zi froze, unable to control himself.

The two stood back to back, very close to each other.

Sousuke's smile was wild and unrestrained.

Turning around, he slashed heavily at Motoko's neck with his palm, unleashing his full, berserk power, shattering his opponent's neck bone with a single blow!

"Wu Fang Su Zi" collapsed to the ground on the spot, turning into specks of white light and disappearing.

ended.

......

[Rewards for defeating Motoko Gotoku (three years later) have been distributed]

[Victory Reward: Kendo Level +3]

[Virtual Trial Ends]

***

Chapter 202 is probably a trap.

Early in the morning, Sosuke opened his eyes.

His left arm slumped slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw the widow sleeping soundly.

The thin blanket that had slipped down couldn't conceal her alluring body; her perfect figure, sculpted as if by a goddess, was covered with strawberry-like hickeys.

Sosuke was itching to do something.

However, he suppressed his inner demons and decided to check the system's rewards.

So he opened his interface and directly displayed the level of his protective spells.

Then a smile appeared on his face.

【拥有护身术2：剑道（+3）——念流15，神道流14，阴流13】

The "+3" in parentheses is not a reward from the virtual trial, but a permanent bonus from the second permission "mutual learning and growth".

The rewards for the virtual trials have been directly increased across all factions.

This is what you call leveling up like a rocket.
