Chapter 49: Fair Competition

Twenty minutes later, the Tokyo Gymnasium, the venue of the Karate Tournament at the Kanto Regional High School.

Lin Xinyi and the others have already taken the subway here.

"Ah, that black charcoal head is really... It's not light or heavy. ”

"How can a handshake hurt someone like this!"

Suzuki Sonoko complained about Kyogoku's "violence" with a little displeasure, and at the same time grabbed Lin Shinichi's hand without saying anything and applied ointment to him.

Naturally, the venue of the karate competition is equipped with sufficient emergency medicine for trauma, from cold ice packs to pain-relieving sprays to desilting and invigorating ointments.

These medicines can just treat Lin Shinichi who was shaking hands with someone-shaped Gundam, causing flaky subcutaneous bleeding on his hands and forming a large area of ecchymosis.

"That's... Miss Suzuki, I'll just apply the medicine myself... ”

Lin Xin wanted to keep his distance.

But seeing Suzuki Sonoko's concerned and engaged face when he applied medicine to himself, he couldn't help but be a little reluctant to refuse.

After a while, I stopped talking, and I accepted it silently.

"By the way, remember to apply medicine to the wound on the back of your neck." Lin Xinyi kindly reminded.

"It's okay, I'll help you finish applying the medicine, and wait until you help me apply it."

Suzuki Sonoko generously picked up Han, making it very difficult for Lin Xinyi to deal with it.

And next to the two of them...

Kyogoku Ma: "......"

He stood beside him without saying a word, and his wheat-colored face looked even darker:

Because she accidentally used a lot of strength when competing with Lin Xinyi, it created an opportunity for Suzuki Sonoko, who was bent on chasing Lin Xinyi, and let her take the opportunity to shorten the distance between herself and Lin Xinyi a little closer.

As soon as he thought of this, Kyogoku was a little depressed.

He now longs for the person who was holding the injured hand to be himself.

And at this moment, Lin Xinyi also noticed the strangeness of Jinggoku:

I saw that this humanoid beast with unimaginable strength stood silently not far from him, staring at him silently with a pair of eyes full of "battle intent".

Feed... Why are you looking at me with this resentful look that suddenly found out that I was deceived by the radish chapter for 16 million...

I'm the one who just suffered, right?

"That..."Lin Xinyi asked with some concern, "Mr. Kyogoku Shin, don't you have to prepare for the competition?" ”

As soon as the other contestants arrived at the venue, they hurriedly changed their uniforms and put on armor to prepare for warm-up exercises.

As long as Kyogoku is really like doing nothing, he has been silently following him and Suzuki Sonoko.

"Uh... I'm just in charge of leading the team and not playing. ”

Kyogoku replied with some humility.

He is already a karate champion and will certainly not participate in this regional karate competition.

This time, Kyogoku Allah will serve as the head of the Karate Club of Kakudo High School as the leader of the school, and play a coach-like role for the juniors who participate in the competition.

It's true that he doesn't have to participate in the competition, but it stands to reason that he should also stay in front of his own team now, and be responsible for the pre-competition mobilization for those juniors.

But... Kyogoku-chan has more important things to do nowβ€”for example, standing in a daze next to Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi Hayashi.

"Then you're free now?" Lin Xinyi suddenly became interested: "Do you want to come and learn?" ”

Only by practicing against the strong can you force a breakthrough, and you can't practice with your head down.

Many martial arts masters play routines and styles, and as soon as they get into the ring, they will only play the disorganized Wang Baquan as if they have never learned martial artsβ€”this is because they only care about practicing martial arts routines and lack actual combat training.

Therefore, in order to become stronger, Lin Xinyi is now very keen on fighting.

"Now?" Kyogoku Zhen looked at Lin Shinichi's hand with some hesitation.

"It's just a bruise, it doesn't affect the performance." Lin Xinyi clenched his fists confidently.

"That's good!"

Kyogoku's fighting spirit came up all of a sudden.

He is not good at words, has an introverted personality, and is embarrassed to show his heart, but he can show his charm in front of Miss Suzuki through the martial arts he is best at.

"No way!" But Sonoko Suzuki was adamantly opposed.

Lin Xinyi is obviously weaker than Kyogoku Zhen now, which can be seen by a layman like her:

"You didn't shoot lightly or severely, what if you hurt someone again?"

β€œ......”

Kyogoku was depressed for a while, and after a long silence, he replied in a calm tone:

"I can suppress my strength and speed to the same level as Mr. Lin Xinyi, and have a fair fight."

Hearing this, Lin Xinyi sighed even more:

Strength and speed are not something that can be suppressed by suppression, Kyogoku really dares to promise that his control over his body must be strong to the point of reaching the peak.

This is undoubtedly a strong man that he simply cannot defeat now.

"But..."

"It's just a move, not a strength?"

"That won't necessarily be me."

Lin Xinyi smiled confidently.

He immediately met Kyogoku's gaze with great momentum, and Kyogoku looked back at him with high spirits.

In this way, the two left the infirmary and went to the small dojo where the contestants were prepared to warm up, ready to have a fair and "friendly" exchange.

"What? Kyogoku Shin Senpai wants to compete with people? ”

The news spread in an instant and sparked a wave of enthusiasm among the contestants.

That's the strongest Kyogoku Mako, a legendary character.

Compared with the onlookers watching Kyogoku's real on-site actual battles, it seems that even the afternoon game is not so important.

Thereupon...

Before Lin Shinichi and Kyogoku Shin had even reached the dojo to stand up, the dojo was already surrounded by young karate players who had heard the news.

They had all changed into neat karate uniforms, and knelt down and sat in a circle on the edge of the dojo in an orderly manner, surrounding Lin Shinichi and Kyogoku Shin, who were preparing for the competition.

Look at this scene... In a trance, Lin Xinyi thought that he had traveled to the set of "Ip Man I".

"Do you want to wear protective gear?"

Before the discussion, Kyogoku asked kindly.

"No, I trust your control."

Lin Xinyi boldly chose not to wear protective gear:

Anyway, as long as Kyogoku can really control his power, he won't get hurt much.

And if Kyogoku really can't control his strength, according to this guy's physical fitness... If the opponent wears protective gear, it will be the same as if he did not wear it.

"Inch-stop, or full contact?"

Kyogoku once again put the choice in the hands of Lin Shinichi.

The so-called inch stop is the sports competition rule of "point to stop" mentioned earlier.

And full contact, as the name suggests, is a real fight, and the fists and legs are recruited to the meat.

Ordinary martial arts enthusiasts will choose the rules of the inch when they compete with Kyogoku Shin, after all... This thing is so powerful that it's scary to play a full-touch match with him.

But Lin Xinyi still replied boldly: "Full contact." ”

His best kung fu is killing techniques, not competitive moves.

If you don't make full contact, you won't be able to make a real difference.

And when he heard Lin Xinyi's choice of the rule of full contact, the scene suddenly exclaimed: "He dared to have full contact with Kyogoku Zhen's predecessors?" ”

"This guy is doomed."

It's Kyogoku Shin's junior who said this, the genius fighting girl of the Katado club of Kakudo High School, Yona Wada.

She is the seeded player of the Kabito High School team and the favorite to compete with Maoriran for the women's championship in this competition.

When he encountered the gangsters at the tram stop before, Yona Wada was also present.

At this moment, figuring out the rules for Lin Xinyi and Jingjizhen's competition, she couldn't help laughing:

"Even if it's a fair competition that suppresses strength and speed, it's only a move to compare it, and Kyogoku Shin Senpai is also the strongest in this book."

"If it's the rule of inches, that Lin Xinyi might be able to lose a little decently."

"But now... He's going to lose very ugly. ”

"What are you talking about? This hasn't been fought yet...."Hearing that Yona Wada had reduced Lin Shinichi to uselessness, Suzuki Sonoko, who followed him to the dojo, instinctively wanted to help refute.

But at this time, Miss Maolilan, who was also present next to her, did not stand on her girlfriend's side at all:

"Indeed... Mr. Lin Xinyi chose the wrong one. ”

"Kyogoku Shinkoku's predecessor practiced 'Kyogoku Shin-ryu Karate', and if it's the rule of inches, it can limit his play to a certain extent, but if it's the rule of full contact... It's really hard to deal with him. ”

Gokuku Jarate is a modern fighting school born out of traditional karate.

The traditional karate school pays attention to inches, competitions, and point-to-point stops, while extreme vacuum karate insists on being combat-oriented, focusing on full-contact competitions from fist to flesh.

In the case of Extreme Karate, participants do not wear any protective gear, except for the prohibition of attacking the head with the hands and the genitals, the rest of the body can be attacked directly, with the hands, feet, elbows and knees, regardless of weight class.

Kyogoku Shin's name is based on "Extreme Vacuum Karate", and this is what he has practiced since he was a child.

Now Lin Xinyi doesn't ask for protective gear, nor does he ask for inches, and he completely plays according to the full-contact rules that Kyogoku is good at, so it can be said that he chose a hard mode for himself.

"Is that so..."

was explained by Xiaolan like this, and Suzuki Sonoko also understood the difficulty.

Even Xiaolan, who is so strong, feels that Jingji is really invincible (even if it is suppressed to the same physical fitness), then Lin Xinyi is probably hanging.

But...

Miss Suzuki won't admit defeat like this:

"Lin Xinyi~ You must come on!"

"I'm sure you can win!"

She stood up from the sidelines generously, let go of her voice and shouted cheers for Lin Xinyi.

Although everyone present was looking at her with strange eyes, Suzuki Sonoko didn't care - she was originally such a bold character.

"Thanks, I'll do my best."

Lin Xinyi turned his head and smiled back.

Although he has been deliberately keeping a distance from this Miss Suzuki, who is overly enthusiastic about chasing stars, at this kind of time when everyone is not optimistic about him, Lin Shinichi will certainly not refuse the only friend who is willing to believe him.

After responding to Suzuki's smile, he immediately returned his gaze to the court.

Put it back on Kyogoku Ma:

Hey?

Lin Xinyi observed the greatly changed Kyogoku Zhen:

How does it feel...

This guy's fighting spirit has suddenly become a lot stronger?
