Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 19 Fight! Release!
Twenty minutes later, in the karate club dojo, center.

Yingsheng and Xiaolan were four meters apart, facing each other, with their feet together, chests out and stomachs in, their eyes staring at each other intently, and they bowed slightly, thirty degrees.

"Prepare!"

The passerby referee stood far away at the edge of the dojo, his voice loud and his right hand raised.

Yingsheng and the other person returned to their standing positions.

"start!"

The referee swung his right hand hard.

Bang! ! !
In an instant, the air exploded.

The two men on the field launched their attacks almost at the same time. Their figures intertwined like lightning, and their fists and feet collided like a violent storm. For a moment, the sound of the wind was heard.

But apart from the first attack between the two men, there was no further sound of actual collision.

An expert looked carefully and saw:

Xiaolan's attack was sharp and swift, constantly changing angles and speeds. Every precise movement was full of power, and wood chips splashed everywhere on the floor!

Yingsheng's steps are agile and swift. He avoids head-on contact and lurks calmly like a poisonous snake when dodging. When he finds the right moment, he suddenly strikes at Xiaolan's limb joints!
"hiss--"

The members of the Karate Club all gasped. Weren’t these two people on good terms yesterday?
What's going on today?
It looks like they are mortal enemies, and they are both trying their best to kill each other!
Moreover, the guy who came yesterday was really an old cucumber painted green, pretending to be young!
He is obviously able to match Xiaolan in strength, but he pretends to be a newcomer to undermine their self-confidence. He is simply inhuman!

Bang! ! !
After a while, there was another loud noise on the field, and a figure flew out from the battle group.

It’s Yingsheng!
"Yeah! Xiaolan won!"

Some laymen watching the game cheered loudly, while the experts sighed in their hearts and felt quite regretful.

Yingsheng's skills are definitely not weak, but his physical fitness is still too weak compared to the well-trained Xiaolan. Under such a high-intensity confrontation, he soon showed signs of fatigue, his movements slowed down, and he was seized by the opportunity.

What a shame, that's where it ends.

The referee took a deep breath and was about to stop the game, but his eyes immediately widened and he said, "Cough, cough, cough!" He was so frightened that he lost his breath and couldn't utter a word.

The pupils of others also dilated instantly. Hey, hey, this is not the way to seek death!
What was reflected in everyone's shocked eyes was:
Yingsheng flew high over the top of the parabola, stretched out his right hand and gave Xiaolan a thumbs up, and then reversed downwards!

"Too weak! Miss Vase!"

The sharp taunts, accompanied by wild laughter, echoed throughout the venue, reflected off the pale ceiling.

Everyone was stunned, and Xiaolan, who had been standing still, suddenly turned her eyes cold.

boo——

It was like a bubble bursting, smoke and dust rose, and Xiaolan's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"don't want!!!"

The crowd of spectators all cried out in shock and ran toward the field, trying to prevent the tragedy from happening.

But, it's too late.

Xiaolan started later but arrived first. She had already jumped above Yingsheng, raised her legs high, and aimed at his chest. Her position was perfect.

cut!
"Xiaolan, don't!!!"

This time even an amateur noticed that something was wrong. With such force and roaring sound, this kick would be fatal if it hit the chest!
However, Xiaolan's movements did not slow down at all.

The arrow has been shot, there is no turning back!
The person who was unable to save the situation closed his eyes in despair. It was over. Xiaolan had lost her mind.

But the next second, he heard a chuckle.

"Sorry, senior."

Um? ? ? ! ! !

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that Xiaolan's downward attack had accurately hit Yingsheng's chest, but there was no sound of bones breaking or even vomiting blood as he had expected.

Yingsheng's body seemed to have no rigidity at all, like catkins in the wind, twisting and turning in the air in the strong wind created by Xiaolan.

With the waist and abdomen as the core, drop the upper body, hook the legs backwards, and do a turn!
Xiaolan only felt a tightening around her waist. When she was about to reach out her hand, Yingsheng had already grabbed her right foot and twisted it to the side!
Knee, severe pain comes!
Xiaolan groaned, her face turned pale instantly, and she tensed her muscles forcefully. BANG!!! With the acceleration of gravity, she smashed Yingsheng heavily onto the floor!

His chest and abdomen shook, and Yingsheng felt a fishy and sweet taste in his mouth, but he did not let go, but instead used more force.

"I forgot to tell you, senior, I also learned judo!" "I'll give you one last chance, surrender immediately!"

"I should be the one saying this!"

"Then I'll tell you something too!"

Xiaolan endured the severe pain in her right knee joint, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and tightly grasped Yingsheng's ankles. She applied more force! She suddenly pulled them to both sides!
"My father also practices judo!"

"what!!!"

Yingsheng's legs were in great pain, and he screamed without patience, "What does this have to do with judo? You are actually a silverback gorilla in disguise!"

Unable to hold on any longer with their legs wrestling, Yingsheng pulled upwards with both hands. The karate uniform had very little friction on the smooth floor, and the two of them slid and suddenly moved closer.

Bang! ! !
Elbow strikes!

"Ah! It hurts so much! Are you a machine girl?!"

"You actually prepared protective gear in advance, despicable!"

Karate is no longer effective at close range, and what unfolds between the two is a ground fight!
Yingsheng has an absolute advantage in terms of skills, but Xiaolan is able to break all his techniques with one force and can always break his stranglehold violently before it can take shape.

Whenever this happened, Yingsheng would switch to striking techniques, with a hit rate far ahead, but he just couldn't break the defense.

“So what the younger generation is learning is actually mixed martial arts?”

"That's right! I'm going to attack your throat!"

"That's a foul!"

"It's a karate match anyway!"

The two figures kept crossing each other on the ground, vying frantically for the advantageous position, leaving the surrounding crowd stunned.

No, you know this is a karate competition?

Big foul for both of them!
Directly sent off!

But they didn't dare to say it out loud. It was obvious that the two were in the middle of a fight. If anyone was blind enough to stop them...

Haha, I’m afraid we’ll be faced with a mixed doubles match!

Come to think of it, it turns out that the flaw that Xiaolan discovered before was a trap set by the opponent. How cunning.

As for Mizuki Hotaru's physical strength...

"Surrender!"

Oh, it turns out I can’t hold on for too long.

"No surrender!"

Xiaolan waved her right hand and flipped Yingsheng, who had just been in the upper position, over. She pressed on his waist and raised her right fist high.

"continue!"

Yingsheng didn't move, just gasping for breath, his chest roaring like a blower.

"I'm so exhausted. You win."

Bang! ! !
Xiaolan landed a heavy right fist.

"When will we continue?"

Sawdust flew around his eyes, and Yingsheng smiled gently.

“Any chocolate?”

"Really? You should have thought of this possibility beforehand. Couldn't you have been prepared in advance?"

"The one in your hand is sweeter."

“…Wait.”
