I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 123 The only thing that runs through life is failure

"Crack~crash"

Okay, the memories are interrupted.

Lin Xi was pulled out of the rubble by Chun Li, who was covered in wounds. He looked at Charlie Nash who was confronting Baroque and Bison. Yuan and Rugal were fighting further and further away, leaving behind a group of damaged opponents.

No one was talking, and the atmosphere was tense. At this point in the fight, if they continued, it would be a real fight of life and death.

Bison was working for pay, so why would he fight to the death? He slowly retreated and then ran away.

Baroque smiled sarcastically when he saw this, and was about to say something when he suddenly looked up -

Another Vega flew over from a distance.

"Good luck to you." He didn't hesitate any more and fled decisively.

I knew the trouble wasn't over yet.

Lin Xi pressed his chest, which was covered with sunken muscles and purple bruises, and looked at Vega approaching with indifference. The temporary replacement of his body had obviously made this street fighter boss much weaker.

"Stab~"

Chun-Li and Charlie Nash looked in pain during the mental disturbance.

“Why do we need to fight?” Vega looked at Lin Xi, who was no longer affected by the mental interference, and landed in a friendly manner. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: “As long as you cooperate with me, even Lucard will kneel before you. Don’t you know that you——”

"Because I don't want to."

Lin Xi clenched his fists and interrupted Vega. Failure was a constant throughout his life. He lost to Yamazaki Ryuji, lost to Lie, lost to Long, lost to Yuan, lost to Rugal... He was growing up, working hard at the cost of his life, developing assassination boxing skills, extreme training methods, and pursuing power at the risk of his life, but it was far from enough. Along the way, he faced countless failures.

If he was willing to lower his head, he wouldn't have come to this point today.

No matter what... he was unwilling to do so, even if what awaited him were endless failures and death. Maybe he had been confused and helpless, but he would never regret swinging his fist.

He did not win all the way like Sagat, becoming a strong man with the belief that he must win. He was also not like Long, not caring about winning or losing, and climbing on the path of a seeker... He was a stubborn mediocre person.

As stubborn and mediocre as he is, only his fists are trustworthy.

With every failure, his anger and unwillingness would accumulate, his will to fight would become more intense, and his fists would become more determined.

"You wouldn't understand."

Lin Xi smiled slowly. He looked at Vega with such bright eyes. Even if he failed a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, he would still swing his fist until he died. Maybe others would think he was a clown, but that didn't matter...

Failure is not terrible. If one loses the courage to punch again because of failure, he has already succumbed to failure.

He didn't want to, so -

"Fight!"

"Boom!"

Fists and feet met, Vega's eyes full of confusion and anger met Lin Xi's pure and fighting eyes. There was obviously a better choice, to compromise, to pretend to be submissive, or even to take a step back? Why, why...

"Peng!"

Lin Xi changed his tactics and kicked Vega hard with a whip kick, then caught up with him in a flash.

can win.

Such thoughts flashed through his mind in mid-air. Vega's temporary body was indeed much weaker. With his mental power unable to interfere with him, he had a chance to win...

Once the fight begins, he will put aside all distractions and continue to pursue victory. [How dare you... How dare you?! ]

Vega was extremely angry while flying in the air. He felt that he had shown mercy and tolerated a weakling everywhere, but in return he received an inexplicable fighting spirit and audacious offense.

"Get out of the way!" His body was forcibly stopped in the air. After a loud shout, his mental power exploded.

"Bang!" A fist passed through the ripples of the explosion and hit his cheek accurately.

"Puff~" blood and teeth flew together.

Lin Xi's body was covered with bloodstains. In order not to be defeated, he forcefully stimulated his air holes, using his air to withstand the pressure and causing his body to sustain damage. A series of frenzied mental storms wrapped in the air, leaving bloodstains on his body, but also allowing him to successfully perform combos.

"Boom!"

The continuous blows, the pain and the humiliation in his heart made Vega's thinking disordered. When he got used to finding excuses for his failures, he had already lost his pure fighter's heart. As the violent attacks continued to overwhelm him and he could not fight back, he seemed to see his future...

[Impossible... This is impossible! How could I lose to such a weakling?! ]

He finally developed the intention to kill. Any hope of a breakthrough didn't matter. He just wanted the other party to die!
die! ! !
"Crack!" After Lin Xi smashed Vega's shoulder with his elbow, the breath he had been holding in was gone. Feeling the naked murderous intent, he was alert and did not make any further attacks. Instead, he took the initiative to keep his distance. He had already used up all his strength, and it would be very dangerous if his opponent took the opportunity to burst out with all his strength.

"Crack~"

Vega stood on the ground with a gloomy face, his mental power piercing the air to form electric sparks lingering around his body. He no longer wasted his mental power to stay floating, nor did he look down on his opponent with contempt. His desire to win was finally awakened by his opponent in an unpleasant way.

Come on. X2
The smile on Lin Xi's face grew wider. If his opponent only knew how to get beaten, the fruits of victory he was about to obtain would not be so sweet.

"Boom!" X2
The two men pushed off the ground at the same time, bursting out and rushing towards each other.

Fight! X2——
"That's it...."

Victor Sagat stood on a distant rooftop, staring blankly at the battle in the distance.

Watching Lin Xi punching Lucard without hesitation, watching Lin Xi being kicked away like a dead dog, watching Lin Xi get up and attack Vega again...

He had an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart. It was the unyielding heart he once had, that of a true fighter.

It’s not the obsession with victory, but the desire to chase it, and the courage to make a fist against everything no matter what.

Once upon a time, he defeated Nukan in the same way.

But his subsequent victory after victory made him ignore his own changes. The title of "Muay Thai King" made him think of himself as a real emperor and he believed that he would always win. Until he was defeated by Long, his life took a huge turn.

At this moment, he finally understood why Long had such a look of pity and regret after defeating him, and why he thought he was not as good as Lin Xi...

Sagat covered his beating heart, and the burning emotions told him that something he had once given up was awakened at this moment.

Staring at Lin Xi who was still struggling, he laughed heartily:
"I recognize you, Lin Xi. You are indeed stronger now." His eyes finally showed the bright look of his youth: "But, don't let down your guard..."

"Otherwise, I, who am chasing you from behind, will beat you mercilessly!"

When I started writing this book, what I thought in my mind was: Only when you recognize the truth of life and still love life can you be considered a hero.

The protagonist gradually went from numbly admitting defeat, to instinctively persisting, to hesitantly losing, and finally clearly realizing the strength of his opponent, but he still wanted to punch. I think as a time traveler, he could clearly know how powerful Rugal was, but he should not have had any hesitation when he punched.

Recognizing the gap and having the courage to throw a punch, thinking about victory no matter what, rather than other meaningless things, this is the romanticism of the protagonist of a fighting novel.

I know that writing like this will fail, but when I designed the protagonist, I just wanted to see him being so stubborn, going all the way and not regretting even if he died.
