Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 77 Defense
Defense —

This term was very familiar to Megukirou, who was well-versed in boxing and had studied martial arts.

Shiraki's defensive moves were also very simple.

It simply involves raising your arms and tucking your body in to minimize the area exposed to impact, using your arms and muscles to protect vital points, or avoiding the opponent's attacks.

This defensive method is the most basic type, and similar techniques exist in boxing and punching.

This is why Mupu Guilang is even more confused.

Why is it that when that guy named Shiraki Cheng gets into a fighting stance, he feels an overwhelming sense of pressure, with no openings whatsoever?
"..."

Unbeknownst to him, a few drops of cold sweat trickled down Mu Pu's forehead.

He resumed his boxing butterfly steps, swinging his left and right feet back and forth in a dazzling display of movement, and began to circle around Bai Mucheng.

Shiramu Cheng's movements remained unchanged; he continued to squat with his arms raised, only his eyes moved, his gaze constantly fixed on Mu Pu.

No matter how Mupu moves, even if he circles behind Shiraki, the only answer he gets is absurd and singular—

We can't break through!

Mupu had seen a similar scene online; it was a very old video.

The founder of Goshin-ryu Aikijutsu, Mikoto Shibakihira, once faced several armed disciples with his bare hands, despite his frail and elderly body.

After a brief standoff, before they had even exchanged blows, the disciples surrendered one after another, creating a scene so exaggerated it was almost comical.

Moku scoffed at this, believing it was nothing more than a performance.

Therefore, he never expected that one day he would actually fall into such a situation!
This is simply beyond reason, absolutely impossible!

Mupu's gaze sharpened, and as he moved behind Shiramu Cheng, he suddenly lunged forward, unleashing a sudden mid-section sweeping kick in an attempt to catch him off guard.

However, Bai Mucheng's gaze had already followed, and then he turned around, raised his leg, and blocked with his knee.

boom!
Mupu's sweeping kick landed, but it still had no effect, making him furious and his face contorted with rage. "Is this Aikido?!"

"……what?"

Shiramu Cheng was taken aback, then shook his head repeatedly, "It wasn't Aikido or Jujutsu, it was just calmly seizing the opportunity to defend."

Mupu was even more annoyed, "What a joke, are you just defending?!"

“Yes,” Shiraki nodded earnestly, readjusting his stance, “I was just trying to calmly observe the moment before I moved…”

As he spoke, Bai Mucheng's gaze remained calm, leaping over the raised arm and landing on Mupu.

Those eyes never wavered, making Mu Pu feel uneasy.

A strong sense of unease drove Moku to throw another punch.

boom!boom!
……

……

One person attacked, and the other defended; on the surface, the situation remained unchanged.

This scene caused even the upper echelons to widen their eyes in disbelief, as they had never expected things to develop this way.

Can this still be considered a Kengan Arena Challenge?!
"..."

Akiyama Kaede adjusted his glasses, watching Mupu Guilang relentlessly pursue Shiraki Sei, his breathing becoming slightly heavy.

The scene of Shiraki's swift defeat of Suedo Atsushi had left a deep impression on Akiyama Kaede, so she subconsciously assumed that Shiraki Cheng was the kind of fighter who preferred quick and decisive battles.

but now--

Why did Mr. Shiraki change his playing style and start focusing on 'defense'?

"..."

Hearing Akiyama Kaede's question, Suedo Atsushi suddenly countered, "Isn't 'defense' good?"

Akiyama Kaede was speechless for a moment.

She wasn't ignorant of fighting techniques; she knew the importance of defense. For example, in boxing, a boxer who didn't know how to defend or dodge would remain a third-rate fighter his entire life.

Even in business, if you only know how to move forward but don't want to retreat, you will never be able to grow big and strong.

"That's it."

Mo Tanghou said in a deep voice: "In combat skills—or any field, 'defense' is not a cowardly act, but a necessary 'fighting tactic'."

"I've heard of professional wrestlers who are confident they can take any attack from their opponents;" "I've also seen skilled fighters who don't defend at all."

"Those guys who completely give up on defense are certainly admirable, but someone who can defend everything is equally terrifying!"

At this point, Mo Tanghou couldn't help but grin.

“My master, ‘Foolish One,’ karate turn-and-return technique, combines the essence of all return techniques into a single set of skills, representing the pinnacle of return techniques.”

"According to him, he said that he would accept any weapon, whether it was arrows, cannons, or flamethrowers!"

"..."

Akiyama Kaede could understand Suedo Atsushi's words, but seeing that Shiraki Cheng was only on the defensive, she couldn't put her mind at ease.

"Even the best defenders can make mistakes, and this is just handing the opponent an opportunity!"

Suedang Hou, however, held a different view and laughed, "Really? But Shiraki is having a lot of fun. It's rare to have such a good boxer as a sparring partner. How can he be satisfied without some specialized training?"

Akiyama Kaede then realized what was happening.

Is Shiraki Cheng using Mupu for special defensive training?
……

……

Mupu's relentless attack continued, even incorporating kicking techniques.

No matter how fast he went or how much force he used to increase his power, he was still unable to break through Bai Mucheng's defense.

Gradually, as time went by, even the "clenched fist posture" that had previously caused effective damage could be avoided by Shiraki Cheng by "twisting his body," leaving only red marks on his skin.

At this moment, Mu Pu finally realized what Shiramu Cheng's true purpose was.

Is Shiraki using himself to train his defense?!
"..."

The moment he realized this, the man named Megukirou suddenly felt a strange sense of humiliation, followed by anger.

The fair-minded people who serve the gambler each have their own arrogance.

Notary No. 10, Mu Pu Guilang—his arrogance stemmed from his "excellent self."

He is someone who can do everything well.

He never does anything unprepared. He was given everything from a young age and is a special person, with exceptional intelligence and strength.

Therefore, he has no dreams, nor does he need any.

Despite this, Mupu was deeply attracted to the man—Sada Kuni—the moment she saw him.

According to Mupu, Sada Kuni is not afraid of death and can give up his own life or the lives of others without hesitation.

This upright and unconventional character made Mu Pu vow to follow him forever.

To this end, he did not hesitate to break the rules of the gambling notary and help Sada Kuni cheat in various gambling games.

For this reason, even if it means degrading himself into a despicable person, he—Megukirou—will help Sada Kuni achieve his goal and seize membership in the Kengan Association!

—Swish!
Suddenly, Mu Pu took off his suit jacket and threw it out, just like he had thrown out his briefcase earlier, as if to block Shiramu Cheng's view.

But Mu Pu's true purpose is something else entirely.

He threw his suit jacket in the direction the camera was located. In other words, his real purpose was not to block Bai Mucheng's view, but to temporarily prevent the referee from seeing the scene!
shuh...

Mu Pu drew a small knife from his waist.

It's a "Spetsnaz knife"!
Equipped by Soviet special forces, it can launch blades at close range with an initial speed of up to 60 km/h!

No matter how strong the defense is, it is still just flesh and blood, and it is impossible to withstand a sharp blade head-on.

In the instant before the referee could see, Moku would use this small knife to decide the final outcome of this challenge!
click!
Mu Pu pressed the trigger button.

But the moment the knife was launched by the spring, Shiramu Cheng suddenly changed his stance, no longer defending, but instead using all his strength to do a backflip and kicking upwards with a powerful kick.

【Gulie Flip Kick】!
Swish!
With a flick of his toe, he sent the knife blade flying upwards, embedding it directly into the cabin ceiling.

Mupu Guilang stared in astonishment at the scene before him, and at the same time saw Shiraki Cheng's calm eyes and regretful expression.

"Drawing a knife during a fight?"

"Brother Mupu, you've spoiled the mood..."
