Chapter 80 Fierce Battle!
Kyogoku Makoto stared at Chi Feichei, his gaze serious.
This was the first time he had seen this Starting Stance.
Starting with a palm wasn't strange; he had seen it once on an opponent practicing Bagua Palm. What was strange was that Chi Feichei was standing very straight, yet it didn't seem like Bagua Palm. Could it be some kind of Fighting Skills he had never seen before?
Chi Feichei quietly waited for Kyogoku Makoto's answer, but after waiting for a while, he realized Kyogoku Makoto was still staring at him in silence. "Is it difficult to decide?"
Kyogoku Makoto said frankly, "No, it's just that I've never seen your Starting Stance before. I was wondering if it was some kind of Fighting Skills I didn't know about?"
Chi Feichei: "..."
"Sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked that," Kyogoku Makoto continued to say to himself, "This isn't a formal Competition, there's no need to tell me so much. And you kept running ahead of me earlier, although it's partly because I couldn't keep up with your Speed, you were also trying to tell me your Basic Situation, right? I understand what you mean, so..."
"This Starting Stance has no Attack meaning," Chi Feichei retracted his hand, "It's just a Signal of invitation to battle, expressing recognition and respect for the Opponent. You can think of it as one of my habits."
Kyogoku Makoto: "..."
Just... just like that?
And he had been seriously guessing before.
Chi Feichei also fell silent. If he didn't explain clearly, if his Attack Style suddenly changed later, he would be suspected of 'deliberately being insidious'. But explaining it clearly, he felt a bit awkward, let alone Kyogoku Makoto...
Kyogoku Makoto wasn't awkward for long, and said seriously, "So there's also this kind of invitation to battle, thank you for your respect. Then I'll Warm-up first!"
Running all the way into the Forest, he had warmed up as well.
It was just that Chi Feichei had let him understand the Situation, and he felt that for the sake of Fairness, he should also let Chi Feichei understand his Situation, such as Strength, Speed, and preferred Attack Style.
"No need," Chi Feichei called out to Kyogoku Makoto, "All-Japan Karate Champion, there are many Live Broadcasts and Videos of your Competitions on the Internet. I've already understood your Situation. I've learned a wider range of things, letting you understand my Basic Situation is the fairest Combat."
So that's how it is...
Kyogoku Makoto's expression became even more serious. He raised his hand and adopted Chi Feichei's Starting Stance. He was very clear that Chi Feichei originally didn't need to specifically let him figure out the Situation, but for the sake of Fairness, Chi Feichei still did so.
This was an Opponent worthy of respect!
When Chi Feichei saw Kyogoku Makoto's Starting Stance, he was slightly surprised in his heart.
Well, this is an honest and adorable junior.
...
Moonlight shone on the Open Ground, clear and bright with a hint of haziness.
The two stood facing each other in Silence. Occasionally, the Wind blew through the surrounding Forest, and the Leaves rustled for a while.
Kyogoku Makoto stared fixedly at Chi Feichei, both to find an Opportunity and to confirm the Opponent's Combat Prowess. This was a serious attitude towards Combat. The Opponent was also worthy of his respect, and Chi Feichei was obviously able to remain steady, making his Fighting Spirit also gradually stir.
Chi Feichei was the first to move. He exerted force with his Foot, and while darting out, he also clenched his Fist to Power Charge.
What Kyogoku Makoto captured first was the Power Charge action. What surprised him was that Chi Feichei's short-term Burst Speed was even faster than his running Speed before, and the height of this Leap was very high.
The distance between the two when they confronted each other was not close. He had estimated that if he attacked first, it would take at least three steps, but Chi Feichei's Leap actually only took one step to reach him!
He believed that if viewed from the side, it would definitely be a Parabola that was inconsistent with Chi Feichei's Body Weight, as if the Body Weight of the whole person was reduced after Leaping up.
In addition to the Explosive Speed under his Foot when Leaping up, there should be other Skills!
While analyzing in his mind, Kyogoku Makoto's movements were not slow either. Although Chi Feichei was still not on the ground, and the Attack was almost descending from his front and above, not being on the ground was also an Opening. Combat habits almost made him instinctively take advantage of Chi Feichei's pouncing momentum, turning sideways and raising his Foot for a Horizontal Kick.
If this kick hit, it was estimated that Chi Feichei would fly to the side before even touching Kyogoku Makoto.
However, Chi Feichei suddenly changed his Center of Gravity in mid-air, and the trajectory of his movement suddenly shifted. He also stepped on Kyogoku Makoto's Sweeping Kick to borrow strength, shifting in the opposite direction. At the moment his one Foot landed, his other Foot had already bent his Knee Joint and was Knee Striking towards Kyogoku Makoto's lower back.
Kyogoku Makoto's Sweeping Kick momentum hadn't stopped. When he realized that Chi Feichei had seized the Opening of his Attack to Counterattack, the Foot of his Sweeping Kick immediately landed, allowing his Center of Gravity to shift. While avoiding Chi Feichei's Attack, he also took advantage of the momentum to perform a Turning Kick again, Sweeping Kick towards Chi Feichei once more.
In his opinion, Chi Feichei, who occupied the Advantage of Agility and Speed, should first pull away to avoid Direct Confrontation. However, Chi Feichei's Reaction surprised him again.
Not only did Chi Feichei not pull away, but he even moved closer, sticking close to him and moving with him, his fingers pointing straight at his Eyes.
Kyogoku Makoto immediately raised his Hand to Defense, and the Strength of his Kicking Technique also lessened a bit. Noticing that Chi Feichei was again targeting the leg that was supporting his Center of Gravity, he immediately stopped his momentum and Defense.
Chi Feichei didn't expect to hit Kyogoku Makoto either. Even if he did hit, he didn't believe Kyogoku Makoto's lower body would be unstable. The most likely Situation was that he hit Kyogoku Makoto, but didn't knock him down, and Kyogoku Makoto's Sweeping Kick would also hit him.
He knew best how hard the Bone of someone who had been training since childhood was. With his current Body, which he had strengthened through extra training, exchanging blows would definitely result in him being more seriously injured than Kyogoku Makoto.
Putting aside the point that his Bone was harder than him, Kyogoku Makoto's Strength was stronger than him, and his Upper Limit was unknown. He had been amazed by this when he watched Conan. Exchanging blows was not a wise choice.
And he had watched Kyogoku Makoto's Competition Video before. In the National Tournament, judging from the Competition where Kyogoku Makoto fought the hardest, Kyogoku Makoto's Karate Skills such as Kicking Technique, Boxing, wrestling, throwing, locking, and strangling had almost reached the Pinnacle, at least currently there was no one stronger than Kyogoku Makoto.
Amazing Strength, amazing Endurance, amazing Durability, Karate Skills at the Pinnacle, Speed and Reaction were also not slow, he was simply a Monster.
If he trained for a few more years, he believed he could compete, but currently, what he was stronger than this Monster in was Speed and Skill.
Endurance was difficult to estimate, because Kyogoku Makoto's Competitions had not reached the point of competing in Endurance, but his Endurance was not weak either. When it came to competing in Endurance, he believed he would not lose either.
In addition, Kyogoku Makoto's Speed was also considered fast in front of others, but it was still a notch slower than him. This point was the Opportunity to win!
If he couldn't find any weaknesses for the time being, he would Suppress the Opponent's Advantage.
Kyogoku Makoto was known as the Charging Prince, Solitary Fist Saint, and Kicking Noble Young Master. What he was good at was pulling distance for instant Burst, Boxing and Leg Technique.
Then he would shorten the distance to the shortest, so that Kyogoku Makoto could not find an Opportunity to borrow Strength for Burst, and not give Kyogoku Makoto enough distance to throw a Boxing. Although Kyogoku Makoto could also use Knee Strike and Elbow Strike, he could forget about using Karate's Kicking Technique.
Kyogoku Makoto realized that from the moment he changed from stopping his momentum to returning to Defense... no, it should be from the moment Chi Feichei truly got close, he was faintly Suppressed.
This was the first time he knew that when Physique was not as good as the Opponent's and only Speed occupied the Advantage, Extreme Close Combat could also cause very terrifying Suppression!
Boxing, Palm, Grab, Dislocation, Knee Strike, Elbow Strike... In a short moment, countless Attacks quickly attacked from all directions.
Eyes, temples, collarbone, Adam's apple, back of the Head, floating ribs, solar plexus... Every Attack was aimed at a Vital Point.
When he was Repelled, the Places Chi Feichei attempted to target were also Places like the inside of the Knee Joint and the Shin, which could Disable.
Chi Feichei's Fierce and Rapid Attacks were like an Executioner who was sure to Kill with one strike, making him once believe that the Opponent was rushing to Kill him or Maim him.
In fact, he had also been Defending and Dodging. If he continued to Resistance like this, he would sooner or later not be able to keep up with the Pace. As long as he was a little slower, messed up once, or was deceived by a Feint once, with Chi Feichei's Speed and Striking Power, he would Die or Be Crippled.
And this kind of Close-Range Combat did not consume much of Chi Feichei's Stamina. He believed that under the Mental Pressure of being Suppressed and the Dazzling Attacks, he would definitely be the one who was Unable to Endure first.
He must Break Away from this Predicament!
