Chapter 284: Enough of Play



Chapter 284: Enough of Play

The match between Shishio and Retsu was about to start, the audience was full of excitement, thinking about what kind of match they were about to see.

Still, some people who knew about Shishio could only sigh helplessly, thinking that this young man really could bring the excitement wherever he went.

There were many familiar faces among the audience, and if someone had often come to the Kengan Match, they would see those figures most of the time.

Katahara Metsudo and Kure Erioh, of course, sat next to each other, talking while waiting for the match to start.

As they talked, Katahara looked at Kanoh, who was sitting next to him, and asked, “Kanoh, you have fought Retsu, right? What do you think of his chance to fight, Shishio Oga?” Unlike everyone had imagined, even though he had lost, it didn’t mean that he was annoyed by Shishio. Instead, he was happy since Shishio’s appearance brought a lot of fun into his life. Naturally, he wanted to bring Shishio to Kengan Match, but he knew that there weren’t any fighters that could match Shishio right now, so he didn’t feel surprised when he learned that Shishio would come to the Underground Arena.

Kanoh, who had lost against Shishio, without a doubt, came to watch the match between Shishio and Retsu. With his loss against Shishio, he knew that he still could become stronger, and he wanted to watch Shishio’s fight to see how strong Shishio was. Still, when he heard Katahara’s question, he thought for a moment and said, “He’s strong. He’s the bearer name of Kaioh.” His memory of his fight against Retsu was still vivid, and it was so hard that he almost lost at that time. Fortunately, neither of them lost, and the fight was stopped before they lost each other’s lives.

“Kanoh is right.” Erioh nodded and said, “You should remember Kaiou Kaku, right? If Retsu can get Kaioh’s name, then without a doubt, his strength is powerful.”

“That old man, huh?” Even though Katahara was an old man, Kaiou Kaku was older than Katahara. If he was around 90 years old, then Kaiou would be more than 140 years old. If there was a hermit or sage in this life, then Kaiou Kaku would fit that description.

Katahara thought that the fight between Retsu and Shishio would become a brutal fight since he also knew the level of a fighter on the Underground Arena was crueler than the Kengan Match.

The origin of the Underground Arena and Kengan Match was similar since it was created during the Tokugawa Shogunate, and they were also made by the Tokugawa clan, but they had different purposes.

Kengan Match was created to settle the conflict between two merchants. Then the Underground Arena was created with the purpose as fighters to express themselves during a peaceful era.

Still, compared to Kengan Match, the Underground Arena was older, and it had more prestige since no fighters were paid, and fighters had either to beg or do a test before they could enter the Underground Arena.

“So, will Shishio lose this match?” Katahara asked.

“No, he’ll win.” 2x

Erioh and Kanoh said at the same time.

“…”

Katahara looked at the two of them amusedly and asked, “You sure are in synch, but can you tell me why?”

Erioh and Kanoh looked at each other, and Erioh, as Kanoh’s senior, decided to explain this matter to Katahara. “Let me explain this.”

Kanoh nodded since he wasn’t good at talking.

“You might not know, but Shishio Oga hadn’t shown all of his power when he fought Kanoh before,” Erioh said calmly.

“…”

Katahara was dumbfounded and looked at Kanoh.

Kanoh nodded without hesitation. “Katahara-sama, you should remember his movement technique where he can suddenly appear right in front of me so suddenly.”

“Of course, I remember that.” Katahara nodded without hesitation since his memory of Shishio’s match before was still vivid in his mind. Still, instead of that movement technique, his punch that was able to send Kanoh to be thrown a few meters and crashing into the building pillar created a stronger impact on his mind. “What’s wrong with that movement technique?”

“His movement technique is stronger than the blow that he used at that time,” Kanoh said.

“Huh? Doesn’t that movement technique use the moment the opponent closes their eyes?”

Kanoh shook his head and said, “It’s more than that.”

“Just what do you want to say?”

Kanoh thought for a moment, trying to consider how to explain this matter. He frowned, then said, “I think he can disappear.”

“…Disappear?” Katahara was dumbfounded and asked, “You mean… it is like the invisible man on the adult video that I have made in the past?”

“…….” Kanoh and Erioh.

“Yeah, it is like that.” Erioh nodded helplessly.

“But how can that be? How can he turn invisible?” Katahara was so jealous.

“If we know about it, why should I explain it to you? Even if you know, you might not be able to use it too, you know,” Erioh said with a snort, thinking that Katahara’s womanizer hobby had never changed.

“……”

Katahara couldn’t say anything.

Even though Erioh didn’t practice Chinese martial arts, his clan, the Kure clan, originated from the Chinese, so it was obvious, he paid a lot of attention to the Chinese martial art’s history and various other things. It might just be his conjecture, but instead of the “Inner Power,” Shishio might really be able to use “Qi” and use it to minimize the noticeability and impact of one’s existence. Somehow, he really had an urge to ask some of the descendants of the Kure clan to become Shishio’s woman right now.

‘As long as this woman isn’t my granddaughter or great-granddaughter, then it’s all good.’

Erioh knew that there were still some single girls and the genes of the Kure clan were also good, so he knew that they were all so beautiful too. ‘Let’s try it.’

As they talked, Tokugawa started to announce the match, and Retsu entered the stage.

“Oh… he’s strong,” Erioh said and could see how strong Retsu was from Retsu’s presence alone.

‘Really? Can you do that?’ Katahara looked at Erioh suspiciously, but he didn’t say anything since he also could see that Retsu was strong.

Some people might think that it was hard to tell whether someone was strong or not, but that wasn’t the truth. It was so easy to tell whether someone was strong or not by looking at the body of someone. If someone was huge, tall, and muscular, then without a doubt, that person was strong, right?

Retsu might not be the tallest man on earth, nor was he the most muscular man on earth, but his reputation made people think that he was strong, even though some people had never seen him fight. His presence and expression were also other factors that made people think of him as a strong

As Retsu appeared, Tokugawa continued and asked Shishio to appear, but as his voice fell, suddenly everyone was in silence so suddenly, even though no one told them to shut their mouths.

Kanoh, Erioh, and Katahara didn’t close their eyes and saw the silhouette of someone from the dark corridor, and when Shishio Oga appeared, there was one thought that crossed their minds at this moment.

‘He has become stronger?!’

Kanoh, Erioh, and Katahara didn’t understand, but they could tell that Shishio had become stronger, which made them dumbfounded. They kept staring at him until suddenly Shishio disappeared and appeared a few meters away from Retsu.

“……….”

‘This… is this a technique that’s capable of someone turning invisible?’ Katahara’s lips twitched uncontrollably, and he just didn’t think that someone could defeat Shishio right now.

Fighters can only win a fight when their opponent is right in front of their eyes, but what if their opponent can’t be seen with their eyes? What if their opponent disappears and turns invisible?

Even the strongest creature on earth, Yuujiro Hanma, was incapable of turning invisible!

Katahara didn’t say anything afterward, nor did Kanoh or Erioh say anything since they were afraid that they might lose sight of the scene that appeared right in front of their eyes.

Even Doppo and Katsumi, who were looking down at Shishio, were also dumbfounded when they saw Shishio Oga appear on the stage.

Tokugawa couldn’t handle it anymore. He was full of excitement, his eyes were red, and he was panted.

Everyone was in a similar state since they wanted to see how strong Shishio Oga was?

“BEGIN!!!”

With the loud sound of the gong, the emcee screamed loudly on the microphone, afraid that no one would hear him, and the match between Shishio Oga and Retsu Kaioh started!

Shishio and Retsu heard the sound of the gong and the announcement that the fight would start, but neither of them put their fighting stance as they stared into each other.

“Why don’t you put your stance?” Retsu asked.

“You might think that I’m arrogant, but I don’t think that your attack will hit me,” Shishio said in a relaxed manner.

“………….”

After the announcement of the fight, the Underground Arena was in a solemn situation, and everyone was in silence, so when Shishio talked, everyone could hear his words, which made them dumbfounded.

‘I don’t think your attack will hit me?’

They had never heard such arrogant words before, but Retsu only laughed so hard before he kicked the sand, teeth, and nails on the ground toward Shishio’s direction to blind Shishio’s eyes and moved so fast right in front of Shishio to punch him right on the solar plexus, but…

“…………..”

Everyone was silent.

The sand, teeth, and nails that Retsu kicked hit nothing, and Retsu’s fist also missed.

On the other hand, Shishio suddenly appeared a few meters behind Retsu as if nothing had happened and threw two red hair ties to the ground.

Shishio knew his “Auto-Pilot” was strong since he didn’t need his brain to send a signal to his body, but his body had already reacted and dodged Retsu directly, which amazed him.

Retsu was dumbfounded and quickly turned around, but then he realized that his ponytail was broken and his long hair was untied.

“…………” Everyone.

“Well, enough of a play.”

Shishio’s atmosphere started to change, and unlike what everyone imagined, they would see his magical Bajiquan technique, but they didn’t expect that he would fight in different kinds of martial art!

‘Taekwondo?!’

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Shishio’s stance since the one that he showed wasn’t Bajiquan, but Taekwondo!

Taekwondo’s fighting stance is quite particular.

Commonly, the user will turn the body to the side to present a smaller target, slightly bent knees for balance and agility, feet about two shoulder widths apart, and hands down to maintain the balance.

Shishio used such a stance, which made no one sure to say for a moment.

Even Retsu was also dumbfounded when he saw Shishio suddenly show a Taekwondo stance. Even though he didn’t say much about it, compared to the 4,000 years history of Chinese martial arts, all of those modern martial arts were just babies!

However, Retsu also knew that everything depended on an individual.

If a baby uses a gun to fight an adult who uses a tree branch, who will win?

The answer is obvious, right?

It is an adult.

Even if a baby has a gun, it is still impossible for it to use it. On the other hand, even if an adult has a tree branch, the baby can’t do anything.

Retsu’s mind was moving so fast. Unfortunately, he was still unable to react when Shishio appeared right in front of him, and suddenly he felt that his brain was shaking and felt the world was turning around before he fell directly to the ground.

“……………”

As Retsu fell to the ground, Shishio walked away toward where his women had been waiting.

However, no one said anything and watched this scene dumbfoundedly since the match had ended.
