Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Chapter 272 Director Liu Ze's Provocation

"Kyogoku Makoto? So it was him!"

Before Miyazaki Yu entered, he sensed a powerful aura and blood energy as hot as flames.

He quickly expanded his senses, but to his surprise, the other party's aura was faint, and his whole body was enveloped in an intense aura. His senses were unable to see the other party's true face!

Only after entering did they see the other person's true appearance clearly, but they never expected that this somewhat mysterious figure was actually Makoto Kyogoku!

In the original timeline, Makoto Kyogoku was a genius, almost like the author's favorite son. The author set his combat ability as S-rank, while Shuichi Akai's was A+. This shows just how strong Makoto Kyogoku was.

Even without mentioning all that, his record alone is astonishing.

For example, he once had a winning streak of four hundred matches and was known as the "Prince of Kicks". He was extremely strong and fast, able to dodge rifle bullets and break stone pillars with his bare hands.

His most impressive feat was catching 11 people with his bare hands as they fired BBs from different directions, despite obstructed vision.

And with lightning speed, he knocked down all 11 people!

Moreover, his observation skills are extremely strong. He can remember the characteristics of a person, including gait, posture and expression. Kaito Kid's disguise technique is almost ineffective in front of him.

It can be said that in the original timeline, Makoto Kyogoku was practically the pinnacle of combat power!

After becoming famous, Miyazaki Yu actually wanted to have a go at this guy, but he never had the chance.

But to his surprise, this guy actually challenged him first here today. It really came without any effort at all.

Director Liu Ze sneered inwardly.

"Miyazaki Yu, you are a swordsman of unparalleled skill and extraordinary swordsmanship, but when it comes to physical strength, you may not be a match for the monster Kyogoku Makoto. In a moment, I will verbally provoke you so that you can't use your sword and can only fight Kyogoku Makoto bare-handed, and I'll make you suffer a bit!"

He stepped forward and said, "Miyazaki-kun, you must know this Kyogoku Makoto."

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "I know about the young master of kicking, of course. Kyogoku is the best in the country in karate. After I won the national kendo championship, I also had the idea of ​​joining him."

I've always wanted to challenge experts in other fields, but I haven't been able to until now. I never expected to meet them here today; it's truly an honor.

Makoto Kyogoku nodded solemnly, his face expressionless, but inside, he felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

"That's right, that's the feeling. This guy in front of me is completely different from all the opponents I've encountered before. He's ridiculously powerful, an opponent that I have to fight with all my might, and even a strongman that I have to risk my life for!"

Director Yanagisawa smiled and said, "Miyazaki-kun is right. What we want to explore in this experiment is the upper limit of human ability and the secrets of some martial arts. Kyogoku-kun's combat strength is obvious to all, especially his extremely strong body. That's why he was invited to participate in the experiment with Miyazaki-kun."

This explanation makes sense. If it weren't for Miyazaki Hayao, Kyogoku Makoto would probably have been the only candidate after the government started considering this option.

"Just now, Lord Kyogoku wanted to challenge me, didn't he?"

Makoto Kyogoku nodded: "We were both invited by the government to participate in this project. I can contribute my strength to the country, and I also hope to use this project to uncover more secrets of human abilities."

What makes me even happier is having the opportunity to fight against truly strong opponents; this was one of my conditions!

Director Liu deliberately feigned a troubled expression.

"Miyazaki-kun, Kyogoku-kun is determined to challenge you. As a contemporary swordsman, you naturally have no fear. However, swords have no eyes. Our current research absolutely cannot be separated from the strong support of the two of you. If any damage occurs, it will be something we cannot bear. Therefore..."

Miyazaki Yu chuckled: "So, Director Yanagisawa wants me to fight this young master of kickboxing with my bare hands, is that what you mean?"

Director Liu Ze's face was grim, and he felt a surge of anger.

This kid had so humiliated him, but remembering the terrifying aura he felt yesterday, he swallowed his words.

With a forced smile, he said, "If Miyazaki Yu doesn't want to accept it, he can refuse."

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Refuse? Why would I refuse? Ever since my battle with that organization leader, I have broken through again, and I really want to find an opponent that I can fight with all my might."

Fighting him bare-handed would perfectly satisfy my needs; after all, it would be unfair of me to use a sword.”

Makoto Kyogoku frowned deeply. He could acknowledge the strength and prowess of his opponent.

But he would never deny his own abilities!

A four-hundred-game winning streak is an unshakable will!

Any powerful opponent, as long as he fights with all his might, will be completely crushed by his pair of dark blue fists.

Therefore, in his eyes, Miyazaki Yu's words were an act of extreme arrogance!

"Mr. Miyazaki, I acknowledge your strength, a fact I sensed the moment you entered. However, I am equally confident in my own abilities. I respect your power, but please also respect your opponent!"

Director Liu Ze was overjoyed.

"Miyazaki Yu's arrogant behavior has angered Kyogoku Makoto. This is great. I don't need to waste any words to make this kid Miyazaki Yu suffer."

In his eyes, both were exceptionally talented young masters. Although Kyogoku Makoto was not as good as Miyazaki Yu, that was only when the opponent drew his sword.

Now, by using the rules, I have successfully sealed the opponent's sword blade inside the scabbard.

How could a swordsman without a sword possibly be a match for a karate master?

After leaving the lobby, he quickly went to the control room, where he wanted to watch the battle unfold on the large screen.

Furthermore, the collection and analysis of data is the truly important part.

As a high-ranking officer in the police force, he was not someone who would act impulsively.

"Director Yanagisawa, this is likely to be a closely contested battle. It's really something to look forward to. It's just a pity that the Miyazaki swordsman can't use a sword, otherwise the secret of cutting steel might be revealed."

An elderly man in a white coat smiled at Director Liu Ze.

"Mr. Mizuki, this battle will be the beginning of our research. Both of them are extraordinary beings. I hope you can extract as much useful information as possible from this battle!"

The old man nodded: "Don't worry, there are a full twenty-four high-speed cameras installed throughout the venue. No detail will be missed. We can just watch quietly."

Chapter 273 Miyazaki Hayao VS Kyogoku Makoto

In the hall, Miyazaki Yu and Kyogoku Makoto stood facing each other.

"Mr. Miyazaki, I think you don't need to take what Director Yanagisawa just said to heart. You are a swordsman, and restricting a swordsman from using a sword is like restricting me from using my fists. This is an extremely despicable act in battle!"

I can also wear an iron fist gauntlet and fight you. We'll both use weapons, so it won't be you gaining an advantage.

These words were upright and honest, without the slightest hint of scheming or underhandedness; they were simply frank and open, which naturally earned their goodwill.

Miyazaki Yu was also smiling at this moment, and he felt quite a bit of goodwill towards the dark-skinned boy in front of him.

However, he still shook his head.

The other person's physical body is indeed good, but compared to his, there is still a big gap.

After mastering the improved version of the Golden Bell Iron Shirt technique, his physical body reached the level of Kyogoku Makoto, or even surpassed it.

After he learned mimicry, his strength improved even more. Later, he mastered mental power, and after combining it with his internal energy to create a mutation, his strength has probably now truly reached the level of a sword saint.

He can even use the Steel-Cutting Technique tens of thousands of times in a row!

Such strength is almost unimaginable for ordinary swordsmen.

His seemingly unremarkable physical body was filled with a terrifying power, and even he himself did not know just how powerful it would be once unleashed.

Moreover, participating in such projects carries risks; one desires more autonomy and greater respect.

It requires demonstrating overwhelming strength, so much so that everyone is stunned and instills fear in them.

The thought of myself gives me a sense of powerlessness. Only in this way can I prevent all underhanded actions. Otherwise, there will definitely be some bored pests who will use the country's shell to spy on more secrets.

They might even resort to some despicable means to get themselves onto the operating table.

This is not just idle talk; when faced with enormous profits, one should disregard humanity.

What can stop any person or organization from doing evil is never kindness and repentance, but the consequences. If the consequences are too severe for them to bear, they will naturally not do it easily. If they can bear them, then those who want to do it will surely flock to them!

"Lord Kyogoku, please make your move. I'd love to see your strength."

Makoto Kyogoku nodded. He had advised the other party repeatedly, but since the other party wouldn't listen, it wasn't his problem.

He took a deep breath, his nostrils flared, and a strong airflow rushed into his lungs. In an instant, all the muscles in his body tensed up, and his entire gi shuddered as if it had been shaken by a shockwave. Countless fine dust particles scattered from the gi.

"ah!"

He suddenly threw a punch, and the violent wind from the punch, like an air cannon, attacked Miyazaki Yu. Miyazaki Yu smiled with his eyes slightly narrowed.

But his feet didn't slow down at all; with a light touch of his toes, his body floated backward.

It appears as if she is floating, light and airy, but in reality, powerful forces are constantly erupting from Miyazaki Yu's feet, yet she is as light and agile as a cat.

"So fast!"

This was Kyogoku Makoto's only thought at that moment. When his fist landed, the opponent was only a foot away and remained motionless. But as he continued to approach, the opponent suddenly unleashed an astonishing speed.

Only when the movement speed exceeds his punching speed can this effect be achieved!

As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details. With just one move, Kyogoku Shin's heart trembled. This person's strength might even be beyond his expectations!

He abandoned his probing thoughts and began to launch an all-out attack on Miyazaki Yu. Miyazaki Yu, with his hands hanging down, simply smiled and dodged continuously, like a nimble cat, constantly avoiding attacks on the field.

Inside the monitoring room, Director Liu Ze appeared relaxed.

"It seems that Makoto Kyogoku is still superior. His attacks are as fierce as a storm. Miyazaki Yu dares not take his attacks head-on. Losing his sword is like a tiger having its fangs pulled out. When he runs out of strength, that will be the time of his defeat."

However, the only listener present, Mr. Mizuki, completely ignored Director Yanagisawa's rambling.

Instead, he stared at the data in the image with a solemn expression, his face filled with horror.

"What terrifying speed! Makoto Kyogoku's movement speed has reached the speed of a regular pistol, which is about 200 meters per second. And his punching speed is even more terrifying, comparable to the speed of a rifle, reaching more than 600 meters per second!"

Such punching speed is terrifying. At this speed, a single punch can pierce through an ordinary concrete wall. If it lands on a person, the damage would exceed that of a rifle bullet. No soft bulletproof vest can withstand the impact of this force. A single punch can completely destroy a person's organs and bones!

However, what he said next surprised Director Liu Ze.

"However, while Kyogoku Makoto's stats are already extremely terrifying, the strength of that Miyazaki swordsman is even more astonishing."

Director Liu Ze was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

The researcher from Shuimu said, "He has been dodging the whole time, but there is a very strange situation. He only bursts out to dodge when the fist is very close to him."

This detail can only be seen clearly when a high-speed camera slows down the timeline by tens of times. Look here!

As he spoke, his fingers flew across the keyboard, capturing a short video clip, which he then played on the computer screen.

Director Liu Ze took a look and saw that it was the moment when Miyazaki Yu made a quick effort to dodge the attack. The entire action was compared from multiple angles by several cameras. The images from several lenses were put together for comparison, which made this scene so clear.

"He unleashed a speed exceeding that of Kyogoku Makoto within 0.05 seconds, bringing the two to a relative standstill. The shorter duration of his burst indicates that his explosive power is likely far superior to that of Kyogoku Makoto!"

Director Liu Ze's expression turned serious, and his heart was pounding.

He wasn't an ignorant person, but what he was seeing had already surpassed his understanding of human speed.
