In anime, fighting requires strength!

so...

The Wakatsuki warrior's back foot stepped on the ground instantly, and the strength that he had compressed burst out completely with this move. Then he gritted his teeth and punched the Sultan with his right fist with all his strength!

This is Wakatsuki Samurai’s trump card - Exploding Core!

......

72. Palm Thunder

What is a core explosion?

For example, it is like releasing a spring that has been compressed to its limit in one breath.

Contract all the muscles in the body towards a certain point, which is called the 'core' if we have to describe it.

Then, after concentrating the power on the 'core' - it bursts out in one breath!

This is the core explosion!

Although the Wakatsuki warrior was unable to compress all the muscles in his body at this moment, all the compressed parts were released through his right arm. Such a punch still carried an extremely terrifying power!

After all—he is a Wakatsuki samurai!

No one would think that his power is weak.

So when you see this kind of move, even if it's the first time you encounter it, the moment you feel the crisis, you will instinctively want to escape.

Because that is enough power to kill people!

It was like facing the muzzle of a gun, the sharp fangs and claws of a wild beast... No, in terms of pressure, this punch was even more stressful than both!

but...

The blow hit the Sultan's heart squarely!

boom--!

The moment this punch hit, it was like a bomb exploded inside the arena!

The huge roar drowned out all the noise.

It was like the horn of doomsday, the death knell for the enemy!

but......

Snapped!

At the same time that Wakatsuki's punch hit the Sultan, the Sultan's left hand directly grabbed Wakatsuki's right forearm!

While he was using breathing techniques to harden his muscles, the power brought by the liberation was forced out from the inside out!

The Sultan could feel the extremely terrifying power of the Wakatsuki warrior, and he could also feel the blood flowing out of his mouth uncontrollably.

But - this attack was blocked by him after all!

Not only did he fail to kill him with one blow, but because he grabbed the Wakatsuki warrior's right arm, he didn't even take a single step back!

Then as a reward for blocking this attack - the opportunity the Sultan wanted has come!

...

For Wakatsuki Bushi, this explosive core attack was the first time he used it against the enemy in a Kengan competition, so it was normal to hit the opponent by surprise.

But in fact, the Sultan had read the comics, and he knew that Samurai Wakatsuki had a killer move called Exploding Core!

So when the Wakatsuki warriors compressed their strength, the Sultan knew what he was going to do.

If Wakatsuki Samurai's punch was aimed at his nose, chin, throat or somewhere like that, he would definitely stop his flurry of attacks and directly avoid Wakatsuki Samurai's punch.

At least he would cross his arms and use all his strength to push the iron block to block the attack.

But because the Wakatsuki warrior had to defend against the sudden barrage of attacks, he was in a bent-over position, and the compressed force pushed his center of gravity down to the limit. In this situation, his attack ultimately only pierced the Sultan's heart!

At that moment, the Sultan knew that the Wakatsuki warrior had only compressed about half of his strength, and he also knew that he, who had activated the liberation, had completed the second stage of the Diamond Fist and could even catch cannonballs.

I also understand that after I activated the liberation, I used the gale and rain attacks continuously, and the consumption of physical strength cannot be underestimated.

so...

He chose to take it head-on, and planned to seize the opportunity to give Wakatsuki Samurai a ruthless blow as well!

And now—he succeeded!

It looked like he was vomiting blood, but in fact, due to various reasons, the damage caused by this blow was not as serious as imagined.

So when the Wakatsuki warrior thought he might have won because his blow hit the Sultan's vitals, and loosened his clenched teeth and was at his most relaxed state, the Sultan's right hand bent and covered his left ear.

The cover was so tight that for a moment, Samurai Wakatsuki felt that he could hardly hear anything in his left ear.

Then......

The spiraling force quickly twisted from the Sultan's shoulder to his elbow and wrist, finally pushing his bent palm to quickly straighten it and slap the Wakatsuki warrior's ear—

Snapped!

A sound far louder than Wakatsuki Bushi's previous punch exploded in the venue!

The sound was like a materialized shock wave, causing the audience to lean back unconsciously and even raise their hands to cover their ears.

That was a sound of thunder!

The effect of this thunder is...

Blood was flowing from the nostrils, corners of the mouth, and eyes of the Wakatsuki warrior, and blood was gushing out from his right ear like a fountain!

He was hit when he was least prepared, and now his eyes have lost their luster and he fell to his knees on the ground.

Only the Sultan was left with his hand still raised, and his right hand emitting visible smoke.

The referee reacted at this time and went straight into the field to check.

After confirming that Wakatsuki Samurai's consciousness had been dispelled, he raised his hand and announced.

"The game is over, and the winner is—Sultan!"

...

"That warrior fell down just like that?"

In the audience, Narishima Joji looked at the result and could no longer maintain his expression. Even his usual natural feeling was gone, and only surprise remained.

However, Muishi Guangshi, who was sitting next to him, was not surprised by this result.

"There's no way. He had already suffered too many blows before blocking this move, and he was too unprepared when blocking this move - the Sultan calls this palm thunder."

"It's a technique where you hold the air with your hands, then use it as a cannonball and directly crush it. It's just like the opening move of that Qilong move that Nikaidou Ren used in the first round."

"The only difference is that this time, instead of clasping your hands together to make the sound, you press them on someone else to detonate the attack."

"If he'd been hit in the chest or something, then with Wakatsuki's size, he wouldn't have been killed in one blow. But if he'd been hit in the ear... then the palm thunder would have detonated in his head."

“It’s scary to think about it.”

Narishima Joji really thought about it for a moment, then he became serious again and nodded directly.

"indeed."

"This Palm Thunder move is indeed terrifying, and the violent storm you mentioned earlier is also a very powerful move."

"That warrior was able to force the Sultan to reveal his trump card, so his defeat wasn't unfair."

"After all, this is the first time I've seen this kind of move. Coupled with the Sultan's defense, which is so strong that it can even withstand a warrior's fist, it's no surprise that anyone would suffer a loss."

After hearing what Narishima Jōji said, Kuroishi Mitsuyo's expression became strange.

Then, under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Chengdao Zhangji, Muishi Guangyo looked at the Sultan who was leaving, shook his head and began to explain to him.

"Mr. Chengdao, it's all right that you think the Sultan's three moves are powerful, but there's one thing you must not get wrong."

As he spoke, the smile on Murashige's face became more obvious.

"Not only does Palm Thunder have another, better way to use it, but this move is not the Sultan's trump card!"

......

73. Emoticons: Enough of the fun!

When the Wakatsuki warriors were fighting with the Sultan, they kicked down the protective wall, so while the Sultan went off the field to clean and change clothes, Katahara Shoka was there to warm up the scene and watch the staff make preliminary repairs to the venue.

The next game only began when Sultan returned to Garuda and the others.

In the round of 16, Sudan is the fifth game.

This means that his next match will determine his third-round opponent.

The two teams in this match are Wu Lei'an and...Meguro Masaki!

Yes, because the order of the competition is different from the original, Masaki Meguro did not meet Fuli Ge, also known as Mutaba, in the first round. He won the first round and advanced to the second round.

Then......

Can I have ten minutes?

The Sultan didn't specifically time it, he just knew that the game was going to be very...fast!

Then, the guy with no sense of pain, Masaki Meguro, was killed on the spot by Wu Lei'an!

Because he kept procrastinating with Wu Lei'an, his death was even more miserable than in the original work!

Then Wu Lei'an, covered in blood, showed a very scary smile, and stood in the middle of the stadium and looked around at the audience. After scaring the audience into silence, he laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha - good match? Interesting battle?"

"I didn't come here for that kind of boring stuff!"

"Hey, you remaining bunch of nobodies, and you, Sultan, listen up—I am the strongest!"

Hearing Wu Lei'an's words, the Sultan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but...

puff!

He laughed out loud!

I couldn’t close my mouth from laughing, and tears were streaming!

His behavior made everyone around him very puzzled, but the Sultan didn't care. He just hugged Garuda and spoke to her, Zhu Mei and Li Youba.

"Yes, that's what this guy looks like."

"He keeps silent on the court, then goes back to secretly study his opponent's techniques, and then privately hurls harsh words at his own people—that's not the kind of person Wu Lei'an is!"

"He just wants to say what he wants to say in front of everyone. He probably doesn't feel satisfied even with provoking people in person!"

"Mr. Huiliyang must be furious right now, hahahaha."

"But it's because of him that I can fully enjoy the pleasure of defeating my opponent!"

Sultan was in the audience like this, so many people saw his reaction.

And he was definitely not the only fighter watching the match in the audience.

Apart from him, the other fighters watching the game in the arena were either expressionless and silent, or frowning. Those who were not smart enough to curse Wu Lei'an through the screen were not here because they were eliminated.

This caused the Sultan's reaction to spread among the audience, and was regarded by these audiences as the confidence of a strong man!

He also said that this is the gap between other fighters and the Sultan!

And everyone agrees that Sudan vs. Wu Lei'an, the third game of the third round, will be particularly exciting!

...

After the second round of the competition was over, although the signal on Yuanliu Island was controlled, there were still some staff members using equipment to record the game. At the same time, because Lanmeng Company promoted the format of short videos, these staff members who recorded the game also made some editing.

They focused on editing out some famous scenes and also made some emoticons from them.

After that, these things will be sold and circulated within the Kengankai.
