Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 252 Stars
The human eye cannot emit light.

—Yamashita Kazuo was convinced of this.

But whether he witnessed it firsthand or recalled it afterward, Yamashita Kazuo was absolutely certain that the two eyes of [Fighting Spirit] Shiraki Sei were faintly gleaming.

what is that?
Using his naturally keen eyesight, Kazuo Yamashita boldly speculated:
That was perhaps Bai Mucheng's indescribable fanatical consciousness, which had far exceeded the brain's capacity, to the point that it was overflowing!

……

Its name is—【Killing Intent Selection】!
Look directly at the fluctuations of killing intent, treat them as one of your own thoughts, and choose to use the moves you want to make at will.

Using this as a starting point, we can also deduce the opponent's actions!
But at this moment, Shiraki Cheng entered the [Killing Intent Choice] state not to see through Kaiya, but to use the "choice" as cover to avoid being seen through by Kaiya!
"Brother Kaiya, can you predict my next 'killing intent'?"

Bai Mucheng's nosebleed stopped, and his breathing gradually stabilized. "Then, I'll try a different move..."

【Charge with Fighting Spirit】!
With a powerful push from his calves, he shattered the paving stones with one foot and shot forward like an arrow, so fast that he almost left a blur.

Ode!
And there it was again—a swift and fierce charge!

Boom!
In an instant, Shiraki leaped up from the ground, jumping in again in an arc, quickly closing in on Kaiya.

[Jamie's Rogue Combo Technique]!
"—!!"

Kaiya stared intently, seeing through Shiraki's fighting spirit, and already anticipating his next move.

Just like the previous move, the plan is to quickly crouch after landing, use a low sweeping leg to disrupt the opponent's balance, and then follow up with a strike.

Since that's the case, all you need to do is jump slightly to dodge—

Swish!
Kaiya jumped off the ground with both legs.

But in that instant, he suddenly noticed that Bai Mucheng's movements and the killing intent he was emanating were out of sync.

The prediction was wrong again!

Bai Mucheng began to change his moves in mid-air, suddenly straightening his waist and hips as if they were springs, and his heels swiftly chopped down like blades.

[Derivative - Side-Flip Blade Kick]!
Swish!
Another derivative variation of the [Rogue Combo] caught Kaeya off guard, slamming his heel heavily into Kaeya's doll face.

Bang!

As Kaiya leaped into the air, he was struck squarely in the face by a heel, crashing violently to the ground, blood gushing from his nose and mouth.

"Crack——!"

Kaiya cried out in pain, then gritted his teeth, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and rolled backward to create distance between himself and Shiramu Cheng.

……Why?
Kaiya couldn't understand.

Why is it that even though I can clearly sense Bai Mucheng's fighting spirit, and his consciousness and fighting will are incredibly clear, it still happens unexpectedly?

It's clear! But it's not right? What's the logic behind this?

While Kaiya was pondering, Shiramu Cheng had already leaped forward and delivered a swift straight punch.

[A burst of fighting spirit strikes!]
Ode!
Kaiya saw through Shiramu Cheng's actions and forced himself to dodge.

But this time, Kaiya, who was prepared to be hit, perfectly dodged Shiraki's punch, just as he expected.

"——!?"

Kaiya stared intently at Shiramu Cheng in front of him, feeling the surging battle intent emanating from the other party, and for a moment she was a little flustered.

Wow~~~ Such a fast follow-up attack, what will be the next move...?

It was a flick of the left elbow... right?

What to do? Block or dodge?

Kaiya opened his eyes wide and leaped backward to dodge, but instead of Shiraki's elbow strike, he dodged a ground-pushing [Rising Dragon]!
Swish!
After Bai Mu landed his uppercut, he left a small opening.

This was the perfect opportunity to pursue, but Kaiya missed a chance to counterattack due to his large retreat, and could only watch helplessly as Shiraki adjusted his stance.

it's a pity……

But it's also very dangerous!
The action I just read out was wrong again; I almost got hit!
"Huh...huh..."

Kaiya's eyes widened, a few drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. A strange feeling began to sprout in his heart, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

At this moment, Shiraki Cheng is just like...

Kaiya lowered his body slightly, fully prepared.

"Stop!"

Bai Mucheng shouted, his eyes leaving two trails in the night as he pressed closer to Kaiya, advancing once more.

shhhhhh...

Extremely rapid punches and kicks.

Kaiya saw through the first three moves and dodged them one after another, but misjudged the fourth move—a headbutt—mistaking it for a knee strike, and thus took a heavy blow.

boom!
Kaiya's nose spurted out from being hit by Shiraki's head. He covered his nose and staggered back, feeling a sharp, burning sensation in his nasal cavity, almost seeing stars. ...Stars?
Yes, that's it!
Kaiya finally figured out how to describe Shiraki Cheng at this moment.

When you are in the jungle at night and look up at the sky, you can see countless bright stars, very clear and bright, and you can even see the constellations.

No matter how carefully you look, there will always be stars that are "invisible" beyond your field of vision, making it impossible to see the whole picture.

Shiraki Cheng's moves are like the stars in the night sky, endless!

In this way, when the entire "starry sky" pressed down, Kaeya naturally couldn't fully cope!
"This, this guy..."

Kaiya's eyes widened as she looked at Shiraki Cheng in disbelief.

Bai Mucheng grinned and said to Kaiya in a low voice, "I feel really good right now..."

He spread his fingers and then clenched them again, feeling the subtle exertion of each muscle, and suddenly felt an indescribable pleasure.

“You can see it very clearly—I am still using my consciousness to drive my body.”

"But what you don't know is that my body wasn't dissatisfied with this; instead, it was overjoyed and wanted to experience more."

"I have too many thoughts on my mind and body!"

Shiraki laughed heartily, tore open his tattered shirt, and showed his body to Kaiya.

Even though it was covered in scars—both new and old—it was still full of energy, exuding a fervent vitality and giving off a happy vibe.

"..."

Kaiya was stunned for a moment when he saw that body.

There are actually fighters like this...

There are actually several ways to break through his pre-reading of consciousness.

For example, Baki Hanma – the champion's body is honed through countless trials and tribulations, having practiced fighting moves repeatedly, thus enabling him to launch counterattacks on his own.
For example, Yujiro Hanma – crushing everything with absolute violence;
For example, his teacher, Izou Honbu, countered the moment Kaeya attacked, leaving Kaeya with no way to avoid it.

These are all effective methods, and Kaiya has suffered at the hands of those people before.

Even the punch that Tokita Ohma landed was a demonstration of his own martial arts style—similar to Baki Hanma's style.

But to his utter surprise, Bai Mucheng did not blindly follow, but gave a completely different answer!

"This is...your style?"

Kaiya couldn't help but grin, spitting out a broken tooth.

He looked at Bai Mucheng and murmured, "So that's how it is. Your body and mind obey your fighting spirit itself. In this way, with so many choices, you cannot be seen through!"

"Haha, knowing you're incompatible but still going in, your approach is really extreme..."

"..."

Hearing Kaiya's exclamation, Shiraki Seiya grinned, "In the underground elimination tournament, [Martial God] Oji Doppo was defeated by [Martial Saint] Shibukawa Takeki, but he did not give up karate."

"In the semi-finals, Shibukawa Goki was defeated by Hanmajak again, but he did not give up his Aikido."

"Haven't you been using environmental tactics all along, Kaya, brother..."

Bai Mucheng strode forward, “The path to power involves both gains and losses, and the methods used don’t have to be the same, they can even be vastly different—that’s what makes the question of ‘what is power’ so fascinating!”

"Now that you mention it..."

Kaiya couldn't help but purse her lips, "I feel so happy!"

Bai Mucheng extended his hand in invitation, "Come on!"

Swish!
Kaiya's face contorted with rage as he unleashed a powerful front kick.

But in a flash, Shiraki rushed forward and struck Kaiya's cheek with a Muay Thai elbow, sending him flying backward with a thud.

call out--

Wow!

Kaiya smashed many charred pieces of furniture along the way, eventually collapsing on his back, coughing up blood, his eyes and brain trembling.

But soon, Kaiya stopped struggling.

"The teachers at headquarters are really malicious; they actually gave me such a 'non-human' opponent..."

He suddenly stood up, his face completely calm. Apart from the bloodstains on his face, there was no trace of pain left, and even the nosebleed had stopped!
"Phew, that feels so much better!"

Kaiya smiled and pointed to his head. "The answer is the brain. I actively adjusted my adrenaline levels."

"Come on, let's continue."

He then looked at Bai Mucheng: "Since we can't use your body and consciousness, then let you experience what it feels like to be at odds with everything around you."
