Persona: Devil Summoner

This is the subtle difference between agility and speed. Many people easily confuse the difference between speed and agility (especially in video games, where these two often represent the same attribute), but Jiang Tianwei's performance this time perfectly illustrates the difference between the two.

Although his dodge speed was not particularly fast this time, the overall acceleration from 0 to max was completed in almost the blink of an eye. To use a car as an analogy, he stepped on the accelerator and the speed went directly from 0 to 120 miles per hour without any acceleration time in between.

Thanks to this mobility, he was able to get into Sanada Akihiko's attack range at the same time as he threw a punch!

Immediately afterwards, a fierce straight punch came and the red boxing glove hit Akihiko Sanada's stomach violently!

Boom!

The dull sound of flesh colliding was clearly transmitted to the mind through the hand bones.

The attack was cleverly placed, not on the belly protected by eight-pack abs, nor on the chest protected by strong pectoral muscles, but in between. From a biological point of view, it was the location of the diaphragm. It can be said that it is a relatively fragile part of the human body, or it is relatively difficult to exercise.

This punch clearly landed on Sanada Akihiko, and Sanada Akihiko probably didn't expect that he would be counterattacked after his strong attack at the beginning... Jiang Tianwei should have had a big advantage... but...

(So ​​hard!?).

I was clearly aiming for the diaphragm area which is the most difficult to train, but I didn't expect that the gloves would give me a hard touch as if I was hitting steel!

Although it's not as bad as "we failed to penetrate the enemy's armor", there is indeed a sense of powerlessness and oppression...

"Good reaction."

Sanada Akihiko, who was hit by a punch, was not in a hurry to chase after him. He praised with a loud and full voice, which did not feel like being punched in the stomach at all! Jiang Tianwei's fist was still pressing against his chest, but he took another half step forward against his fist, and punched with both arms alternately!

Jiang Tianwei's attack failed to work, so he quickly retreated two or three steps in a row and escaped from Sanada Akihiko's attack range in one breath!

Jiang Tianwei was shocked! You know, Wu Jianmiao had previously rated Jiang Tianwei's physical fitness as far superior to that of an ordinary person, and that he could win an Olympic championship. Unexpectedly, today, he was hit hard by Sanada Akihiko.

The only reasonable explanation is that the opponent also possesses world champion-level strength...

If it were a hot-blooded fighting manga, there would definitely be a lot of descriptions of the psychological activities of both sides, often accompanied by mutual flattery, and experts suddenly appearing in the audience to analyze the battle situation... But unfortunately, reality is not a manga, and Akihiko Sanada just praised it once and stopped talking.

In such intense exercise, it is easy to lose your breath when speaking. Moreover, as everyone who has ever boxed knows, boxers will put a mouth guard in their mouth to prevent their teeth from being knocked out, performing a real-life version of swallowing the knocked-out teeth... Naturally, wearing this thing, it is impossible to speak smoothly.

Akihiko Sanada lowered his body like a cheetah gathering strength. The next second, his calf muscles tensed up into a block, and his body flew out like a spring, actually jumping into the air and punching Jiang Tianwei fiercely in mid-air!

The power of various weapons can be roughly regarded as the superposition of three factors: the properties of the weapon itself (such as sharpness), the quality of the weapon and the speed of the weapon. In boxing, the properties and quality of the weapon itself cannot be changed, so the only thing that can be changed is the speed.

By speeding up through a short sprint and jumping up to gain maximum punching power, Akihiko Sanada's punch was a killing punch in the literal sense... Jiang Tianwei also became more convinced of his own thoughts: Sure enough, this guy is an enemy!

But...

This kind of boxing that likes to use force and inflict unilateral abuse is not difficult to deal with.

Although jumping punch is not a forbidden move in boxing, few people use it. The reason is very simple... Although jumping up will increase the power, if you miss and fail to hit, the flaw is also huge. People who have played competitive games should know how huge the flaw is...

Jiang Tianwei slid sideways, nimbly dodged to the side of Sanada Akihiko, and hit him with an uppercut...

Jiang Tianwei's punch just now didn't work, and he already knew how resistant Sanada Akihiko was. So, he had to come up with some unexpected moves.

Therefore, Jiang Tianwei also prepared to use the secret method of increasing power just mentioned: using speed to gain advantage - except that he used the opponent's speed! Didn't Sanada Akihiko attack by running and jumping? Then, he would counterattack and block his fist on his way!

Attack the opponent at the same speed as he is sprinting!

This is like an airplane. Why do airplanes have bird repellents installed? Because when flying at high speed, even if a small bird hits the airplane, it can cause a serious accident due to the added speed.

Now Jiang Tianwei's fist, like a little bird, aimed at Sanada Akihiko's ribs and punched him hard again...

thump...

However, Jiang Tianwei still wanted to miss a step. "

Let's take the example of the bird again. When a bird hits a plane, it will directly create a deep groove on the plane. There are actual photos of this, and the damage can be seen... But, what will happen to the bird?

It's easy to imagine that, at best, it's like ascending to heaven, at worst, it's like being bloodied and dying on the spot... Jiang Tianwei's fist hit Sanada Akihiko's side fiercely, but the opponent's speed and mass also passed directly to Jiang Tianwei's arm...

Jiang Tianwei only felt a cracking sound in his elbow, followed by a piercing pain in his elbow!

His elbow! It's dislocated!

The severe pain was accompanied by astonishment, and cold sweat suddenly fell on Jiang Tianwei's forehead...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 234 I! Reproduction!

For a boxer, losing an arm is basically equivalent to being unable to fight again.

Jiang Tianwei was very clear about this, so he endured the pain, bit his lips, and forced himself to swallow the urge to scream.

On the one hand, he didn't want to show weakness in front of Yoshizawa Sumire, and on the other hand, he didn't want to lose to the lackey of the mastermind behind the scenes.

(I must defeat that guy and find out where Naoto is. Absolutely!)

"Senior... why did your movements suddenly change..."

But Sumire Yoshizawa was unaware of these psychological activities. She was not a man and did not understand that men sometimes just wanted to show off their strength. She also did not understand boxing and could not understand why the senior, who had been able to fight back in the first two attacks, started to dodge unilaterally afterwards.

"Because there's something wrong with your arm."

Suddenly, a free and easy female voice sounded beside Yoshizawa Sumire, and pointed out the problem incisively. Although humans have invented so many fighting techniques, from a biological point of view, the structure of the human body is not very suitable for fighting. Although the strength of tendons, bones and muscles can be trained, joints are always a major weakness.

So there is a saying: striking techniques are just fancy moves, and joint techniques are the real skills.

Although Jiang Tianwei's muscles and bones are much stronger than those of ordinary people, the basic structure of a human being is maintained and the fragility of his joints cannot withstand confrontation of this intensity.

Yoshizawa Sumire turned around in surprise. She had heard this voice too many times and there was no way she would mistake it!

"Coach Hiraguchi!".

There was joy in her tone, but then, within that joy, there was also timidity and helplessness.

The woman standing next to her was wearing a tight-fitting sportswear, revealing her slender but muscular arms and belly. She had neat short black hair and a pair of narrow eyes that showed the charm of a mature woman.

"Fangze, is he a senior in your school?"

"Yes! They are my seniors in every aspect!".

"Hmph...that brat."

After all, Coach Pingkou and Jiang Tianwei belonged to the same gym, and both of them taught aerobic boxing, so they knew each other. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Fangze, her eyes returned to the center of the game. At this time, Jiang Tianwei was using swift and solid steps to skillfully dodge Sanada Akihiko's heavy punches.

“The basic skills are really solid.”

Seeing Jiang Tianwei dodging flexibly left and right, Coach Pingkou couldn't help but praise him.

"uh-huh!".

Although she was not the one being praised, Sumire Yoshizawa couldn't help but nasally reveal a proud tone, as if she was the one being praised.

"You should really learn this from your predecessors. Solid basic skills will never betray you at any time."

Coach Pingkou saw that she was so proud of herself and habitually said something to wake her up.

The basic skills of the Yoshizawa sisters are actually very good, but since Yoshizawa Sumire was hypnotized to become Yoshizawa Kasumi, she has been imitating Yoshizawa Kasumi, so the training cup that Yoshizawa Sumire should have is weakened. It is a bit like learning to walk in Handan.

Seeing that Sumire Yoshizawa didn't refute and nodded obediently, Coach Hiraguchi turned his attention to the game, his tone full of regret, and sighed again, saying: "But he can't win. From the moment he made the decision to fight across such a large scale, he had already lost."

She was talking about the punch that dislocated Jiang Tianwei's arm.

It's a failure among failures.

For a boxer, losing an arm means a lot. The two already had a gap in physique and fighting skills, and now Jiang Tianwei has a dislocated arm. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover in a short time. It is extremely difficult to defeat Sanada Akihiko.

Three minutes passed quickly, and as soon as the referee rang the bell, Akihiko Sanada stopped his half-struck fist in mid-air. The fact that he could stop a half-struck fist in mid-air showed how well he had control over his body.

Generally speaking, a three-minute match is followed by a one-minute break, and during this precious rest time...

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

Jiang Tianwei raised his uninjured right hand. It is definitely not allowed to go to the toilet during a regular game - I have never heard of such an example!

But this was not a serious competition after all. Akihiko Sanada was very generous and agreed to this unprecedented request, so Jiang Tianwei trotted to the toilet.

Coming to the toilet cubicle, Jiang Tianwei opened the interface of the demon summoning system with one hand...

Although the last fusion with Eliger was very successful and no abnormalities were found, Jiang Tianwei was unwilling to take the risk. Who knew if there would be problems next time?

But... now, Jiang Tianwei has no choice.

Mr. Maruki once commented that Jiang Tianwei had an overly strong obsession with "rescue", which had reached a twisted level. Looking back now, this comment was extremely accurate.

In order to save Mr. Kawakami, he could break his own principles and bow to his stepfather.

In order to save Shinjima, he can break the principles of the Phantom Thieves and take her to know the space.

In order to save Baekjong Naoto, he could challenge an experienced world-class boxer. If he found that he couldn't beat the opponent, he would be willing to take a gamble and challenge the devil fusion again.

This kind of obsession of sacrificing oneself for others is not normal. The evaluation of "normal" originally refers to the common choices of the group. For example, love is generally considered to be between a man and a woman. Therefore, homosexuality is often considered abnormal.

Similarly, for the vast majority of people, their own interests are always the highest priority. A minority of people like Jiang Tianwei who can sacrifice their own interests for others are often considered abnormal.

It’s just that, because everyone knows that this abnormality is good for themselves, they often give them all kinds of nice names.

(The only one who can be used for fusion... is him...)

Jiang Tianwei chose the most upright-looking demon among the demons he had - Dhritarashtra.

Firstly, he is the Dharma Protector of Buddhism, so his character is fine. Secondly, he is the Dharma Protector, so his strength is definitely fine. Thirdly... Dhritarashtra looks almost the same as a human, while the other two have a blue face and a green face. Jiang Tianwei is really afraid that after the synthesis, he will become a monster Shrek...

As for why I chose him... it's very simple. If you often read martial arts novels, you will always find some martial arts related to Buddhism, such as Arhat Fist, Vajra Indestructible Kung Fu, etc. Arhat and Vajra are both concepts in Buddhism.

Although Chiguotian is wearing Chinese armor, it is estimated that when he takes off the armor, he looks like a "golden arhat" underneath - probably.

(Tsk, I feel like I’ll be scolded by Doctor Takemi when I get back… I can’t care less…)

Jiang Tianwei determined his goal and resolutely activated the fusion system...

----------------

"Senior, you took a while to go to the toilet."

Yoshizawa Sumire's big eyes were staring straight towards the men's restroom, and she couldn't help muttering.

Seeing that nothing was happening around, Coach Hiraguchi asked tentatively, "Sumi?"

"Hmm? What's up coach?"

Yoshizawa Sumire turned around.

Coach Hirako felt relieved: Sumire Yoshizawa had always insisted that she was Kasumi Yoshizawa, which made the coach not know what to do. Everyone has a different style. If Sumire Yoshizawa keeps following Kasumi Yoshizawa's path, she will only become a piece of waste in the end. To give an inappropriate but very accurate example, it's like a table knife and a plate are both tableware, but they have completely different characteristics. If you insist on using a table knife as a plate, or a plate as a table knife, it will only feel awkward.

Now, although no one knows what she has been through, it is obvious that she has now turned back into Sumire Yoshizawa.

"How are your preparations for the big competition in a few days?"

Coach Hiraguchi asked.

"Although I'm still a little nervous, I will try my best! When the time comes, I'll have to ask the coach to guide me again!"

"Yeah, it will - here he comes, oh?".

Coach Pingkou was originally planning to use Jiang Tianwei to change the topic, but he didn't expect that when Jiang Tianwei went to the bathroom, his whole temperament changed.

There is no specific difference, but it looks very subtle. It's like in some movies and TV shows, when they show twins, they use the same actor to edit and perform. The two people have the same face but completely different temperaments, such as Shi Potian and Shi Zhongyu in "Xia Ke Xing".

This is what Jiang Tianwei is like now.

He walked through the crowd, jumped lightly, and jumped onto the boxing ring nimbly.

"Why, have you had a good rest?"

Akihiko Sanada said this, pointing at Jiang Tianwei's right hand.

As a seasoned boxer, he could of course see Jiang Tianwei's predicament at a glance.

Jiang Tianwei raised his right hand and clenched his fist to indicate that he had no problems.

The gym owner was also excited, calculating how much traffic he could earn from this battle, and excitedly announced the start of round two!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 235 Extreme violence!

The gym owner swallowed.

After all, he is not a monster.

A worker in my gym challenged a world-class boxing champion, but broke his arm in the first round... How could I bear to let him continue fighting?

However, when he thought about how much traffic the video would get after it was released... he could only bear the pain and pay tribute to Jiang Tianwei's indomitable warrior spirit in his heart - and began to think about how to use this video to promote his own gym.

Coming back to his senses from his sweet dream, he coughed lightly, swung his arms vigorously, and shouted, "Round 2! Begin!"
