I have to say... well, it's rather novel.
"Yato!" Haruno pushed through the crowd and rushed downstairs immediately. Narushima Mitsuya followed immediately, but neither of them could match Ameha's speed. She leaped down from the second floor, her movements as light as a swallow, as if she had no weight.
Tenyu ran to the dilapidated window and looked down. Soon, she breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Haruno and Narushima Hikari arrived.
Also present were referees Yamamoto Koishi and Nogi Hideki, as well as some curious member representatives.
You can see the pool below, and the splashing water.
Whether it was Yang Nai and the others, or Nogi Hideki and his secretary Akiyama Kaede, they all looked relieved.
Especially Nogi Hideki, who was extremely grateful that he had made the decision on the architectural design of the Nogi Hotel. Not only was a huge aerial platform built between the two buildings, but a water park was also added. Otherwise, even with the strong physique of a first-class fighter, falling from such a height of more than ten meters could have killed him on the spot.
"Quickly, switch the camera."
Nogi Hideki quickly gave instructions to the staff.
The surveillance footage from the water park floor was transferred to the large screen in the banquet hall.
This way, we can continue to spectate remotely.
the other side.
Having been soaked by the sudden 'downpour', Xiang and the others hurriedly moved away from the pool.
They feared a second wave of falling objects from high-rise buildings.
But soon they discovered that what had fallen into the water was not just a simple rock or something similar, but two living people.
No...do we really have to call them people?
Boom!
Fists bumped.
They exchanged blows.
The water was disturbed by sheer violence.
When Izumi's palm struck the water, the surface caved in, and it took a full two seconds for the water to flow back. On the other side, Yato was not to be outdone. He used his arms to activate Iron Body, almost savagely blocking the opponent's attacks one after another, while kicking hard in the water.
The water in the swimming pool is not deep.
They were in an area less than two meters apart.
Both feet can touch the ground.
Being able to get a firm foothold means being able to exert force relatively completely.
Yato's toes broke through the water. Although he couldn't use the Tempest Kick due to the resistance, its power was still considerable. Izumi could only raise her hand to block it, then grabbed his ankle and wrapped her body around him like a python. She clearly wanted to use a joint lock in the water, but Yato wasn't about to let her have her way.
The power of Jiu-Jitsu lies in 'neutralizing' and 'entangling', which are techniques of dissipating force and grappling.
In particular, Yato's strength lies in leg techniques, so he cannot afford to be easily closed in and dragged into a close-quarters combat rhythm.
He immediately took a deep breath, and because it was so forceful, his lungs felt a burning sensation.
"Get out of here!"
Yato's muscles were taut, and veins bulged across his body like small snakes.
Although being in the water was quite uncomfortable for him, a master of fast-paced, head-on attacks, while his opponent quickly adapted after a slight shock and seemed quite at ease, it didn't mean he was completely unaffected.
With a jerk of Yato's spine, the explosive power and bouncy force were brought to their maximum. The force that burst forth in that instant was enough to kick a truck weighing several tons to the ground.
Although Izumi's strength attribute was superior to his, it was difficult to exert it in the water. His power dissipation was also unable to completely eliminate Yato's explosive power in a short time, which caused him to be kicked out of the pool by Yato's upward kick. He quickly adjusted his center of gravity in mid-air and landed steadily on the edge of the pool.
Yato also caught his breath and plunged into the water. In less than two seconds, he burst out of the water like a crocodile. It was easy to imagine that if Izumi had launched a surprise attack at that moment, she would have run into Yato's gun.
To be honest, Yato was also a little puzzled as to why Izumi hadn't made a move.
Through these few rounds of combat, he knew that his opponent was a strategist-type fighter who was extremely good at seizing opportunities and even creating them.
Technically, they are unparalleled in the world, but they struggle against opponents with extremely lethal playing styles. That's why they should value every opportunity even more.
But after noticing the other party's situation, Yato suddenly realized something, a smug smile curving his lips as he sarcastically remarked:
"Hey, sir. Is that all? You promised to show me your adult endurance!"
"Phew, although I've said it once, I still want to remind you that you probably won't attract any good women if you act like this."
Chu Jianquan took a breath; he wasn't in good shape right now.
The injuries Yato inflicted on him, after being soaked in the pool water and further aggravated by the intense battle, caused the wounds to tear open and begin to worsen prematurely.
To be honest, physical strength isn't a big problem.
Fighters rarely collapse due to exhaustion.
More often than not, the loss of combat ability occurs when the injuries sustained exceed the body's capacity.
Just as Yato was about to respond, a gasp suddenly came from the side.
"Yato-kun?!"
"Mr. Igarashi?"
Yato and Izumi turned their heads to look.
Several high school girls in swimsuits were found standing dumbfounded, watching from a short distance away from the enemy.
Chapter 68
"Oh, it's you guys. Sorry, I don't have time to chat right now. Please move away. This guy is a top-tier pervert. Getting targeted by him can be very troublesome."
Although somewhat surprised to meet him here, Yato quickly put aside any unnecessary emotions.
"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that... Let's make a deal, kid. If I beat you up, you'll introduce me to someone."
"As for me, I can play with you all day long. If you still have the energy by then, I'll treat you to a fun-filled day at the entertainment district. Don't refuse, uncle, it will make young people lose their enthusiasm for socializing."
"...What exactly is your body made of?"
Chu Jianquan's heart sank slowly.
From his perspective, the other party's state of mind was truly exaggerated.
Judging from the muscle activity on the body surface, it is clear that there is still a long way to go before reaching the limit of fatigue, just like someone who has just finished warming up, not someone who has been fighting for a long time.
On the contrary, his own condition is gradually declining.
"Sorry, that's just how my body is. The more I fight, the more excited I get. I have so much stamina that I can't use it all. If you want to defeat me, you have to approach me with the mindset of killing me."
Yato slammed his right fist into his chest, the force of which scattered the water droplets.
His words lacked passion, yet a fiery aura emanated from him, gradually rising within him.
"Really? Well, just don't die, kid. I quite like you."
Chu Jianquan calmed his breathing, his hands hanging down, seemingly doing nothing, but it was as if he had done something.
His imposing aura was completely concealed, leaving not a trace.
It has become even more unpredictable.
But Yato sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
"This pose... is it a natural stance? No, it's the First Encounter Style Natural Stance, developed from the Natural Stance of Ancient Jujutsu!"
When I first met Izumi, I was basically using a 'self-protection' stance.
There's no saying which of these two approaches is better.
Yato figured it out too.
The Hatsumi-ryu Aikido of Hatsumi Izumi is actually a 'modern' ancient jujutsu that extracts the essence of modern martial arts such as Aikido, Judo, Karate, and Kendo, and then incorporates personal characteristics.
At first glance, it may seem diverse and varied, but in fact, Izumi is also a rather 'single' person.
Throwing techniques tend to favor standing techniques, while grappling techniques tend to favor joint locks.
Expecting him to crush someone at point-blank range like Imai Kosaku is actually quite unlikely.
But this makes sense.
After all, it's a Kengan match, and the opponents are all particularly resilient. Naturally, you need to maximize the advantages and strengths of Jiu-Jitsu while also increasing your lethality and offensiveness.
Therefore……
When Izumi first decided to kill someone.
Only then can his true strength be demonstrated!
At first glance, Izumi approached Yato slowly and casually, as if taking a stroll.
Yato stood still.
Quietly wait for Izumi to enter your attack range.
However, using this tactic against a Jiu-Jitsu master who uses stillness to control movement is somewhat like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.
By the time Yato realized this, it was too late.
The foot sword struck first, aiming for Izumi's neck.
He didn't hold back.
Or rather, they didn't dare to hold back.
The opponent's form seems to have improved, so holding back at this point is tantamount to not wanting to win.
"Oh, so your legs move first after all? It's true that you're using your best moves, but I've gotten used to your kicking techniques."
Upon first seeing the spring, I slipped at the foot of the foot.
Use the heart-shaped circular movement technique from Jiu-Jitsu.
It means moving around the opponent, but it doesn't mean being led by the nose. Instead, it means using your own strength to guide the opponent's skillful footwork.
It's like putting your hand inside an electric fan; if you don't want to get hit by the blades, you have to move around with them, maintaining a highly synchronized pace.
First Encounter was even more outrageous. He anticipated the trajectory of the foot sword and arrived at a position that the foot sword could not reach, launching an attack on Yato's ribs.
Yato slammed his left elbow down, attempting to break Izumi's wrist joint, but Izumi lifted it up beforehand, making it seem as if Yato had deliberately placed his elbow into Izumi's palm.
"First encounter with the Flowing Qi Path... Great Hand Returns!"
Upon first seeing Quan, his spirit reached an unprecedented peak.
He stepped forward with his right foot to trip Yato and use it as a lever, grabbed Yato's elbow with one hand, pressed down on the back of Yato's neck with the other hand, and exerted force with his whole body at the same time, making him spin 360 degrees in place like a windmill.
Finally, using the force of inertia, it was slammed hard onto the ground.
The ground immediately cracked!
Although Yato was badly injured, it wasn't enough to render him unable to fight.
A hammer strike, like a whip, hits the opponent's face from above, drawing out the air with a crisp, cold sound.
At first glance, Izumi casually slapped away Yato's wrist, then grabbed it and twisted it sharply, dislocating Yato's joints. Half of Yato's body was wracked with pain. And then—
"Congyun Third Company!"
A series of right punches.
Combined with Jiu-Jitsu finger techniques, it produced a cone-like effect.
It moves so fast that it cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Just like Yato's Cutter, although there were three moves, they seemed to overlap in an instant.
The extremely concentrated force, with its powerful penetrating force, struck Yato's chin, philtrum, and brow in a straight line, producing an effect no less than that of a gunshot!
This is also one of Izumi's usual trump cards.
"That's it..."
Seeing Yato's head held high, Izumi breathed a sigh of relief.
The members who witnessed this scene through the surveillance cameras shared almost the same thoughts as him.
Until the next instant.
boom!
