Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 215 Abnormal Enjoyment
Shiraki's tone was serious and calm, without any hint of sarcasm; he was genuinely asking Dorian this question.

"Now, do you still have a reason not to fight me?"

Dorian could tell from the other person's tone, but the question inexplicably irritated him, making him even more annoyed.

The mighty Aquaman was now trembling, veins bulging on his forehead, and his silver beard and hair looked even more ferocious as his facial muscles twitched.

But a few seconds later, Dorian suddenly calmed down, smiled and waved his hand, "Since Lord Bai Mucheng is unwilling to fight me, I have no choice but to leave today."

After saying this, Dorian turned and walked away, his heavy steps disappearing into the night.

"……Hello!"

Upon seeing this, Rihito and Katsumi were the first to lose their composure. Rihito urged Shiraki to step forward, while Katsumi frowned in confusion.

"Damn it, it's that feeling again..."

Katsumi gritted his teeth, "It seems like a performance, is he deliberately showing a flaw? What a bastard whose every move is suspicious!"

Yuji Doppo raised an eyebrow and smiled.

He casually picked a stone from the yard and, as if throwing a baseball, tossed it toward Dorian in the distance.

call out!
The stone struck Dorian's back, but it neither hit him nor hit the ground; instead, it vanished without a trace.

"……what?"

Rito and Katsumi were taken aback for a moment, then realized that it was Dorian who had grabbed the pebble!
"Ha ha……"

Dorian stopped, turned around, and suddenly burst into laughter, tears even welling up in his eyes.

"Hahaha! As expected of the legendary Foolish One, you actually saw through my acting and even went to the trouble of setting up a test for me. Thank you so much..."

He stepped back to his original position and sighed helplessly, "All my hard work performing was for nothing, but unfortunately, I was found out."

Katsumi and Rito blinked, then suddenly realized what was going on.

So it turns out that Dorian's departure and his earlier outburst of anger were all an act to set up a sneak attack?

Katsumi's eye twitched. "Just as Brother Gaolang said, it's despicable to the point of being disgusting!"

However, Retsu Neptune narrowed his eyes, looked at Dorian again, and asked, "Was everything just now really your acting?"

Dorian: "..."

Dorian: "Haha!"

The death row inmate neither confirmed nor denied it, but shrugged, clutching his groin and laughing, "After all, I just took a really hard hit, so being able to buy some time and rest a little longer is definitely a good thing."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Retsukai no longer said anything.

Shiramu Cheng stood up in the courtyard, rolled over the wall, came to the street, and stood in front of Dorian, facing him.

Dorian was still recovering from the beatings he had suffered from the God of War and the God of Battle, and Shiraki Cheng did not immediately make a move.

He leaned against the wall, turned his head to signal to Lie Haiwang, "Brother Lie, do you remember the issue we discussed before?"

Retsukai was stunned for a moment.

He had talked with Shiramu Cheng quite a bit, but the most memorable conversation he had was about "the path to battle and strength".

Shiraki Cheng mentioned that one of his masters once said:

All battles and strength, all skills and martial arts, and even the entirety of a fighter, ultimately point to one result—ending the life of the opponent before them.

Those who truly pursue power must eventually confront this realization, known as the "Surge of Killing Intent"!
This theory involves too many aspects and has caused King Retsu to ponder it for a long time.

In Lie Haiwang's view, the first thing Shiraki Cheng needs to face is how people view the skills he has developed.

The resolve to end one's opponent's life, derived from a multitude of skills, constantly propelled Shiraki Cheng, subjecting him to the influence of that impulse at all times.

Should one let the "wave of killing intent" affect them? Or suppress the impulse? Or coexist with the "wave of killing intent"?
Retsukai opened his eyes and looked at Shiraki Cheng.

Could it be that he has already found the answer to such a difficult question?
"Ha ha!"

Bai Mucheng grinned and readily replied, "I don't know, so I've decided not to think about it."

Retsu Kaioh: "..."

Retsu Kaioh: "?"

Has Shiraki Cheng given up thinking?
Do not……

Lie Haiwang's exceptional comprehension made him suddenly realize that Bai Mucheng's words, "Don't think about those things," must be his answer!
"Thank goodness, I almost got stuck on a 'normal' answer."

Bai Mucheng's expression was somewhat relieved. "Generally speaking, when faced with a choice of awareness, there are usually three answers: acceptance, resistance, and coexistence." "This normal way of thinking, like a fog, led me astray."

The ink-wash painting around Bai Mucheng surged, and several illusory figures listened curiously to their disciple's answer.

"But what initially attracted me to do these things—what drew me to the pursuit of combat and power—was not ending my opponent's life, nor was it thinking about how to deal with the fluctuations of killing intent."

"I want to see more during my travels."

Shiraki looked at Retsukai, "And the reason I learned so many techniques and moves, I think—is because of fear."

……Fear?
Retsukai was stunned.

Bai Mucheng grinned broadly, "How regrettable it would be if I had the chance to encounter interesting things during my travels, but missed the opportunity due to my lack of skills!"

"—From this perspective, the mere fluctuation of killing intent is nothing more than part of the journey, and there is no need to treat it as the 'ending'."

"I want to enjoy it in an abnormal way."

"..."

These answers left Retsu Kaioh speechless for a moment, and even Ryu and Sagat were stunned on the spot.

In the end, Long couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Haha, I see, so this is how you confront your 'self'...
……

……

Dorian is recovering.

Shiramu Cheng, on the other hand, had already started warming up, jumping around every now and then.

Seeing Bai Mucheng in such a state, even the seasoned "Martial God" Yudi Dubu, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but sigh softly:
"If all the kids in the Divine Heart Society were like Brother Bai Mu, I, as the founder, would probably have a terrible headache!"

Katsumi was greatly puzzled. "Shouldn't it be 'don't worry'? Did you get it wrong, Dad?"

"No, it really does give me a headache."

Retsukaiwang corrected him seriously, "Shiraki's mindset allows him to learn various styles of techniques and moves at an astonishing speed."

Even if he was confused by the problem, even if he was troubled by the 'waves of killing intent', he didn't want to wait even a second longer!

"Karate, Drunken Fist, Battlefield Combat, Parkour, Mixed Martial Arts, Wrestling, Muay Thai..."

"Right now, Shiraki Cheng is learning new fighting techniques, enjoying them immensely, and can't stop!"

"..."

Yuji Doppo stroked his chin. “Indeed, this is a completely different mindset from Retsu Kaioh’s martial arts, Brother Gaolang’s obsession, and Katsumi’s desire to complete modern karate.”

"Enjoy the moves and skills themselves, and immerse yourself in them."

"—If you force someone like this to be confined to the Divine Heart Society, he'll come up with new ideas every few days, and I can't stand it."

Doppo smiled and looked at Retsu Haiwang, "Retsu, what's your opinion on Shiraki's answer?"

Lie Haiwang shook his head, "I don't know, but if we interpret the countless fist techniques mastered by my teacher 'Guo Haihuang' as Bai Mu's 'fighting skills,' then perhaps my teacher will have the answer..."

"..."

……

On the street outside the hospital, Dorian had finally fully recovered.

He looked at Shiramu Cheng, "I've kept you waiting, Mr. Shiramu, let's begin."

Bai Mu Cheng Zhan Ding.

suddenly--

Dorian raised his palm and opened it in front of his mouth; in his palm was a pile of gravel powder.

He had just caught the pebble thrown by Dubu, crushed it into powder, and held it in his palm, waiting for this moment.

call--!
Dorian blew a strong breath, raising a cloud of dust that instantly engulfed the white wooden frame.

But to the surprise of the others in the courtyard, Dorian did not give chase.

When the dust settled, Bai Mucheng was still standing quietly in place, already in a fighting stance.

"...You haven't left me? Ha!"

This scene actually made Dorian feel at ease, and he couldn't help but smile.
