I teach judo in Tokyo.

Most of them were dressed in suits and ties; some were pot-bellied, some had gray hair, but almost all of them exuded an air of wealth.

They're probably all rich people.

"Are these all strong individuals?" Sosuke couldn't help but say sullenly.

"No..." Yae Meixuan's voice was filled with disdain, "These are just lucky people who have reached the level of money and status they deserve, and are able to watch people stronger than them fight, and even take pleasure in it."

"So, the 'Deathmatch' refers to this? A ring match? A black boxing match?"

Sousuke subconsciously touched his chin, only to find himself touching a hard, unyielding mask.

"Haha, if you call it underground boxing, then it's pretty much the same!" Yae Meixuan sneered. "Compared to those low-level, shady private 'underground boxing' matches, 'Death Maniac Showdown' is nothing more than a high-level 'underground boxing' that is tacitly approved by the government and promoted by major corporations and forces. In essence, there is no difference; it's still something that can't be brought to the table."

"Companies actually promote this stuff? What's the point?" Sosuke became a little interested.

Yae Meixuan picked at her ear with her little finger: "I'm not really sure either. I heard that before this kind of arena system existed, competition between companies often involved shady, bloody methods, usually resulting in both sides being severely injured. Later, the wealthy couldn't afford it anymore, so they gradually developed this model..."

She paused, seemingly searching for words: "Witnessed by other large corporations, two companies with conflicting interests pitted themselves against each other by sending their most trusted experts in a duel. The loser withdrew, the winner took all, and they jointly agreed not to use any other clumsy methods afterward, otherwise they would face a collective boycott and annihilation from all the witnessing companies..."

This approach confines what would otherwise be a large-scale, bloody, and dark conflict to a small arena, reducing both the safety risks for businesspeople and the risk of significant damage to their businesses. The government is also happy to see this happen, and with all parties benefiting, this method is becoming increasingly popular.

She turned to Sosuke: "So, what do you think? This plan looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

"Hmm..." Sousuke scratched his head, "It does sound like a great mechanism, but something feels off to me..."

Logically, the weapon to curb unscrupulous competition among companies should be the "law," right? If the authorities have sufficient credibility and the power to deter companies, why would they need to resort to such a barbaric method as "contests" to solve the problem?

"To put it bluntly, it's because the Japanese government is incompetent!" Yae Meixuan chuckled. "As far as I know, there are several countries in the world that resolutely reject this kind of barbaric way of handling corporate disputes. For example, there's that mysterious country to our west that I've always admired. I plan to retire there someday. I've just heard that the control over the strong is even stricter there. I wonder if it would be convenient to live there."

Hmm, isn't China just to the west of Japan?

I knew it!

Sure enough, such a thing could not happen on that land.

As the two were talking, Yae Meixuan led Atobe Sousuke through the crowd to the front line near the arena.

Several men who had been drawn to Yae Meixuan's alluring figure turned away in fright at her sharp, piercing gaze.

Some people seemed very familiar with Yae Meixuan's outfit, and after just one glance, they retreated to the side as if they had seen a plague god.

Finally, the area where Yae Mei and Sosuke stood was clearly separated into a small, open space.

"The way these people look at you is like hungry wolves spotting a piece of meat, yet they keep their distance..." Sosuke teased, "Master, it seems your fearsome reputation is widespread."

Yae Meixuan stood with her arms crossed over her chest and said coldly, "If you have time to worry about them, why don't you look at the stage? The first match of the night is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Sosuke immediately turned his gaze to the central arena.

Two men had already gone upstairs sometime earlier.

A burly man, shirtless, with bulging muscles all over his body, looked quite violent.

The other man was equally strong, dressed in a regular T-shirt and sweatpants, with his hands in his pockets and a strange grin on his face.

When Sousuke saw the person behind him, his pupils dilated slightly.

[Snake Bite: Atsushi Yokoi]

Age: 28

[None of the following terms are listed]

[Possesses defensive skill: Snake Bite Style 23]

[Special Moves: Snake Bite Fist, Snake Coiling Hand, Snake Swimming Body]

[Current Status: I wonder when that kid Yuichi will finally make his move?]

Snake Bite Fist? Isn't that Onishima He's signature move?

......

Chapter 110 can be killed!?

Snake Bite Fist? Isn't that Onishima He's signature move?

Atobe Sousuke frowned, somewhat concerned about the special move of the person on stage.

So, the Ghost Island that he crippled was actually backed by a guy with a lineage of martial arts?

Will we see that kind of melodramatic plot where the younger sibling gets bullied and then the older one comes along?

The older woman next to him seemed quite interested in his next reaction. She stared at the silent Sousuke and suddenly laughed in amusement: "The two people who are about to fight on stage are Hosoya Joichi, who is representing Ayukawa Construction and specializes in kickboxing, and Yokoi Atsushi, who is representing Keisha Construction and specializes in a style called Snake Bite Style."

“Snakebite Style?” Sousuke immediately pressed, “This style doesn’t sound like the fighting techniques I usually hear about.”

He felt a sense of crisis and decided to learn about the "Snakebite Style" from the knowledgeable Yae Meixuan.

Yae Meixuan didn't keep you in suspense. She said lightly, "I told you before that there are extraordinary strong people like us in this world. After many strong people practice fighting techniques to a certain level, they will start to feel that these fighting techniques 'designed for ordinary people' cannot fully unleash their strength. So some talented fighters will start to modify or even create new fighting techniques. This is the origin of the strangely named 'Snake Bite Style'."

Sosuke nodded. He thought of the beautiful teacher in front of him, and the "My Style" option appeared in the skill list.

The logic makes perfect sense.

However, he was more interested in understanding the "Snake Bite" fighting style itself.

Yae Meixuan glanced at him, a sly glint in one of her beautiful eyes beneath the Hannya mask: "This Snake Bite Style is said to be a school of martial arts that evolved from Judo. It incorporates some snake-like boxing techniques from China and combines them with the physical strengths of the powerful figure who created this style. It emphasizes choking and locking techniques, and the results of its moves often result in broken bones and tendons, making it extremely cruel to the loser."

She paused, then said in a gloating tone, "I heard that this school doesn't have many successors, but they are very vengeful and hold grudges. People who offend them will have a lot of headaches. I guess that's a way for small schools to survive."

I always felt that the beautiful teacher's words had a hidden meaning.

Sosuke glanced at Yae Mei-xuan suspiciously, but didn't ask.

After all, under normal circumstances, he "shouldn't" know that Onishima He possessed the "Snake Bite Style" technique, let alone know that the Snake Bite Style might be used against him.

Yae Meixuan continued in a gloating tone, "As far as I know, the guy you killed from Kirisaki High School, Onishima He, was a guy who practiced the Snakebite Style."

Well, now I finally understand why this beautiful master kept talking to me like she was watching a show; she knows that Sousuke has offended this school of thought.

Sosuke curled his lip and gave the foul-mouthed female hooligan in front of him a disdainful look: "So, are you just going to watch the show?"

"Why not?" Yae Meixuan shrugged. "Kid, you don't think I'd want someone who's trying to steal my disciple to have a stroke of luck, do you?"

She chuckled, "The more disheveled you are, the happier I am!"

You're a pleasure-seeker, aren't you!

In the future, I'll let you make me look foolish in other ways, and it will be quite enjoyable for you!

Sosuke glared at her, but the beautiful master, seeing his displeasure, laughed even harder.

"The deadly duel begins!"

As the two were talking, the referee on the stage suddenly shouted and announced the start of the match.

Sosuke stopped talking to Yae Meika and immediately turned his attention to the stage.

Then, just then, two fast-moving figures that had started simultaneously collided.

Although Hosoya Joichi, who was said to be skilled in kickboxing, was burly, he was not slow at all. As soon as he entered the striking range, he immediately unleashed a high-speed combination of punches and kicks at his opponent.

His punches and kicks were incredibly fast and powerful, even more so than the professional boxers or mixed martial artists he had seen on TV in his previous life.

Clearly, if this person were in his previous life on Earth, he would be at least a boxing champion.

Even stronger!

It has exceeded the standards that should exist in reality. If we had to describe it in one word, it would be like filming an action movie.

The barrage of attacks completely overwhelmed Atsushi Yokoi, who was using the Snake Bite style.

However, Sousuke's eyesight was no longer that of an ordinary person. He narrowed his eyes slightly and could clearly see that Yokoi Atsushi's expression remained relaxed despite the opponent's strong attack, and the corners of his mouth maintained that slightly mocking smile.

Most importantly, he effortlessly dealt with all of his opponent's attacks, either dodging or blocking them.

The skill level difference is quite large...

Sosuke was well aware of the difference in skill between the two people on stage.

That kickboxer's kickboxing level was only "18", which was already above the level that an ordinary person should have, but there was a clear gap between him and Atsushi Yokoi.

In addition, although the kickboxer was slightly more muscular, Atsushi Yokoi's body under his clothes was not thin either, so the two were actually about the same size.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the kickboxer is going to lose.

As if to confirm Sosuke's idea.

A few seconds later, Atsushi Yokoi, who had been on the defensive, seemed to have a lapse in his defense. A powerful kickboxer punch "heavyly" pierced through his punching frame and struck his left shoulder!

However, the mocking smile on Atsushi Yokoi's face suddenly turned into a sinister, serpentine grin!

Before the kickboxer could follow up with an attack, Yokoi Atsushi's hands, which were maintaining his stance, seemed to instantly transform into two terrifying pythons, quickly coiling around the kickboxer's fist that had struck his shoulder with terrifying speed and an eerie angle.

"Haha!" Under the terrified gaze of the kickboxer, he suddenly burst into laughter, and then exerted force with both hands!

A snake coils around your hand!

"Crunch!!!"

The sickening sound of bones breaking rang out, accompanied by the kickboxer's screams of pain. But Yokoi Atsushi did not stop. He wrapped his entire body around his opponent's arm and continued to ram into his opponent's chest, the continuous twisting and turning further increasing the degree of crushing of his opponent's arm.

Immediately afterwards, his right hand quietly released its grip, and his thumb, index finger, and middle finger formed a shape that mimicked a venomous snake opening its mouth and sticking out its fangs, and fiercely "bite" into his opponent's neck!

Snake-biting fist!

The kickboxer's screams abruptly stopped, replaced by hoarse, breathless sounds.

The next second, Atsushi Yokoi stepped aside and watched with a grin as the kickboxer desperately clutched his bleeding neck and collapsed helplessly.

The referee standing to the side, wearing a mask with the word "Death Madness" on it, seemed unfazed by the scene and simply raised his hand calmly.

"The opponent has been defeated, and Atsushi Yokoi, the current construction representative, has won!"

Sosuke suddenly looked up at Yae Meika beside him, his expression behind the mask somewhat unpleasant.

He asked in a low voice, "A duel of madmen...can kill people!?"

Yae Meixuan crossed her arms over her chest, looked away from the stage, and turned to look at Sosuke. The Hannya demon mask on her face seemed to have truly transformed into a demon.

"why not?"

She said that.

***

Chapter 111 My Master Sister is Stuck!

"why not?"

Yae Meixuan crossed her arms over her chest, looked away from the stage, and turned to look at Sosuke. The Hannya demon mask on her face seemed to have truly transformed into a demon.

Her voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, leaving Sousuke somewhat bewildered.

Sosuke has never killed anyone.

It was impossible in my past life.

Throughout his life, although he possessed powerful fighting skills and once fought against dozens of opponents, he twice wiped out small gatherings of extreme sects, causing serious injuries to many people.

He even went so far as to brutally smash the delinquent student from Kirisaki High School, Onishima Kazuyoshi, into a cripple.

But he never intended to kill.

Based on his upbringing and moral principles, taking a person's life should be an official act.

Of course, he is not pedantic. If he were truly threatened with death, or witnessed others engaging in extremely serious illegal activities, such as human trafficking, he would understand.

He would not hesitate to kill without hesitation.

However, all of these situations are in accordance with the law.

However, he has now witnessed two people who have no grudge against each other.

On the ring, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they fought for their lives.

Then one of them killed the other without batting an eye, and the audience didn't react at all.

No, there is still a reaction.

Many of the surrounding "high society" people, who were of high status, wealth, or status, were actually cheering loudly after witnessing this bloody scene.

Yae Mei-xuan gazed silently at Atobe Sousuke, who seemed stunned, as if she could see through his thoughts.
