Chapter 27: Talent and Effort

When Leon woke up, it was already getting dark.

It's still the same familiar feeling, the hard wooden floor has an indescribable fragrance, and the first thing you can see when you wake up is the same wooden ceiling, still the familiar pattern.

He knew that he was back in the Extreme Stream Gym.

In his memories before he fell unconscious, he used the adapted Dragon and Tiger Flurry, which is the Angry Lion Flurry, but he was still defeated by Kusanagi Soji, and caused something to cause Kusanagi Soji to lose control, and at the last moment, he forcibly punched the Heaven and Earth Bahuang Fist to disperse the flames of the Great Snake Nagi, but he also lost consciousness without accident.

At this moment, Leon's mind is still a little dizzy, the consumption of the Heaven and Earth Bahuang Fist is too great for the spirit, and he will not be able to fully recover for a while, but fortunately, this is the gym, and there are no enemies for the time being.

Struggling to get up, Leon was now sore all over, as if he had practiced boxing all day, and the wooden floor's ability to relieve fatigue was also limited, so it was better to go out and move.

After opening the door and taking a breath of fresh air, Leon saw Sakazaki Fang practicing frantically.

Sakazaki Takuma stood aside and was silent, quietly watching Sakazaki practice boxing, and his face was quite gloomy, as if he had gathered the cold of the three winters on this day.

"Master~"

Leon shouted, and seeing that Takuma Sakazaki didn't react, he shouted again

"Master!"

"Huh?"

Sakazaki Takuma finally came to his senses and said

"Leon, you're awake."

Leon nodded, he always felt that the atmosphere in the gym was a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was strange. Asked

"Master, what's wrong with Fang?"

Seeing that Sakazaki Fang seemed to have forgotten that he had strength, he kept hitting the stake with his fist, making bright red fist marks, but even so, he still couldn't vent the anger in his heart.

"Fang, he lost."

After saying this, Sakazaki Takuma stopped talking, and Leon asked

"How did you lose?"

There was no response from Sakazaki Takuma, and Leon also gave up the intention of asking again.

This time, Leon and Kusanagi Soiji fought, and in general, it was only a dozen or twenty moves, and Leon was KO by Kusanagi Soiji, of course, it can be said that Leon knocked himself out, but even if Leon didn't use the Heaven and Earth Bahuang Fist at that time, he would eventually fall under the big snake of Kusanagi Soji.

Leon made a rough estimate, with his 15% purity of Kusanagi's blood, if he wanted to use the large-scale flame move of the Great Snake Nagi, even if he consumed all his qi, he couldn't use it, so it seems that Kusanagi's blood is really a rather shameless bloodline!

Thinking back to his hard work during this time, it was not as high as the bonus given to him by a little Kusanagi's blood, although this was due to his own weakness, but this bonus was inevitably too high.

Looking at Sakazaki's crazy appearance, as well as Master Sakazaki's iron-blue face, it is difficult for Leon to imagine what kind of frustration can make the always confident Sakazaki Fang become what he is now. Instinctively, Leon recalled the words that Kusanagikyo had said unintentionally

"If you work hard and be useful, what do you need a genius to do?"

Sakazaki Fang is also a genius, a genius who is not born in the world, and he can quickly comprehend the genius of the Heaven and Earth Bahuang Fist according to one of his demonstrations. But this kind of talent is nothing compared to that noble son of the flame Kusanagi Kyo, and Sakazaki Fang, who works so weekdays, will be hit like this by the seemingly foolish Kusanagi Kyo, which really makes Leon unimaginable, and can even be said to be unbelievable.

Leon has the blood of Kusanagi, compared to Sakazaki Fang and Sakazaki Takuma, he knows more about the difficulty of using Kusanagi's fire, even if Kusanagi Kyo can use Kusanagi's fire at this time, he is just an eleven-year-old child, and it is estimated that it will not be smooth~ So Leon asked Sakazaki Takuma with a skeptical attitude

"Master, even if Kusanagi Kyo can use Kusanagi's fire, it doesn't have to be that powerful! How is it possible~"

The rest of the words, Leon really couldn't speak, the sound of Sakazaki Fang hitting the stake with his fist kept ringing in his ears, Leon felt that what he was about to say was tantamount to stabbing a sharp blade into Sakazaki's heart, so he didn't say any more.

"Kusanagi Kyo awakened Kusanagi's fire at the age of three~"

Hearing this, Leon's eyes widened directly, he knew that if he didn't have so much qi to forcibly purify the energy of blood, he wouldn't even be able to use the Kusanagi Fire, and the three-year-old Kusanagi Kyo, who had almost no qi, awakened the Kusanagi Fire, what kind of existence is this?

But before he could be surprised, Sakazaki Takuma said words that reshaped his entire worldview.

"When I was six years old, I took Fang to Kusanagi's house, and Fang fought against Kusanagi Kyo, and although he lost, he was also a loser when he was evenly matched."

"But Kusanagi Kyo's talent is really terrifying, I haven't been in contact for so many years, I don't even know that just a year later, when Kusanagi Kyo was seven years old, he was already able to use the big snake Nagi proficiently~"

Rumble!

The sound of the worldview being blown up resounded in Leon's mind, and at the age of seven, he could use the trick of the Great Snake Nagi~ Is this really a talent that ordinary people can understand?

Looking at Leon's shocked expression, Takuma Sakazaki continued

"In this fight, Fang couldn't survive even a wild bite of Kusanagi Kyyo."

"It can't be!"

As soon as Sakazaki Takuma's words fell, Leon immediately retorted loudly, because this was impossible, even if he was far weaker than Kusanagi Soji, he could resist many desolate bite combos and poisonous bite combos.

Although those combos are very practical, the routines are too serious, and even if you are familiar with them, you can easily avoid the past. What's more, Fang who is stronger than himself is against Kusanagi Kyyo, who is weaker than Kusanagi Soji, how can it be that he can't survive a triple move.

"Nothing is impossible, Leon~"

"But there's nothing to be afraid of losing, the most important thing is that you have the courage to stand up again."

As he spoke, Sakazaki looked at Sakazaki Fang, who couldn't get rid of his demons, and shook his head with some heartache in his eyes.

In fact, Sakazaki Takuma didn't tell Leon the whole situation at that time.

In fact, with Sakazaki's combat power now, even if it is weaker than Kusanagi Kyo, it is only one or two points weaker, and this situation will not occur at all.

But everyone overlooked one thing, that is, strength and combat effectiveness are never the same data. The strength of a person is far more than strength.

If you look at it from the perspective of strength alone, Kusanagi Kyo is indeed far weaker than Kusanagi Shibishu and Sakazaki Takuma, and even far less than Kusanagi Soji, who has recently comprehended half of the divine dust, but when it comes to talent, all of the above combined are not as good as a Kusanagi Kyo.

This is really not an exaggeration at all.

At that time, after seeing the battle between Leon and Kusanagi Soji, Kusanagi Kyo flashed with a flash, and many combos were suddenly constructed in his mind.

However, none of these moves were used, so Kusanagi Kyo experimented with Sakazaki as a guinea pig.

Originally, this situation should be unfavorable to Kusanagi Kyo, but Sakazaki Fang's thinking was a little fixed, and he couldn't guess Kusanagi Kyo's offensive at the same time, and the whole person almost took Kusanagi Kyo's big snake in a defenseless situation.

At that time, Kusanagi Kyo's three barren bites were not the traditional barren bites, nine wounds, eight or brick piercing, but another combo he constructed himself.

Wild bite ~ Qin Yueyang ~ Snake Nagi!

At that time, after Sakazaki saw Kusanagi Kyo hit the wild bite, an upper part of his right hand blocked the strength of the wild bite, which is nothing to say, Leon also blocked the wild bite of the stronger Kusanagi Soji.

At the time of the second move, Sakazaki instinctively thought that Kusanagi Kyo would make a short nine wounds in the upper section, and beware of his left hand, but he didn't expect Kusanagi Kyo to use his right hand to make a wild bite and directly turn into an elbow blow, and an elbow hit him.

Sakazaki Fang's right hand, which had just finished the upper section, was unable to resist, and he was hit in the arm by this move, and in an instant, the entire right half of his body was numb, and he couldn't use his strength.

Then Kusanagi Kyo drilled out of his right hand, stuck Sakazaki Fang's chin and lifted him up, and slammed it into the air and exploded a large flame, fortunately, Sakazaki reacted very quickly, and filled his body with energy in time, so he was not injured by Kototsuki, and took the opportunity to jump out with a backflip, just when everyone thought that Sakazaki Fang had dodged Kusanagi Kyo's combo, Kusanagi Kyo kicked it with an R•E•D•KICK, the main purpose of this move was to use it for hurrying, and at the same time, Kusanagi Kyo also accumulated a small ball of fire in his hand, At about the same time as Sakazaki Fang landed, a large snake nagi appeared without a gap and hit Sakazaki Fang head-on, who had relaxed and was defenseless at the time.

The power of the big snake is already huge, and Sakazaki Fang has vented his whole body strength, and he has no defensive thoughts in his heart, so he was put down by Kusanagi Kyo in one move.

Not only that, but after using this set of combos, Kusanagi Kyo was still in good spirits, and there was no situation where he was counterattacked by his energy at all. Such a mastery of moves, such a talent, is really appalling. Even if it was Takuma Sakazaki, seeing such a talented Kyo Kusanagi, he felt that Sakazaki Fang would not lose this time.

But no matter how much others think, they can't change Sakazaki's unwillingness, he only punches the stake to vent his anger, but he gets nothing but a hand injury.

"One more time, I won't lose!"

Almost roaring at the words, Sakazaki punched the stake with a punch.

"Click!"

Seeing the wooden stake that Sakazaki Fang broke stiffly, Leon's heart also calmed down, and he was no longer as confused as he was after hearing about Kusanagi Kyo's talent before, and said to Sakazaki Takuma

"Yes, Master! It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to doubt the path you're taking! ”

Listening to Sakazaki Takuma before, Leon thought of many possibilities to improve the purity of his Kusanagi's blood, and at that time he thought that only by raising his talent to the level of Kusanagi Kyo could he compare with it!

But after seeing Sakazaki Fang break the stake with a punch. He woke up to the fact that no matter how strong Kusanagi's blood was, it was just a foreign object, and more importantly, the heart of the strong, a heart that dared to challenge, and a heart that would never admit defeat.

No one can go all the way to the sky because of their talent, and every strong person has a heart that matches it.

Talent or something is just an excuse for the weak to be content with the weak. If you want to become stronger, you have to keep forging ahead and keep cultivating, and only in this way can you defeat your opponents all the way to the top.

Leon had never experienced the kind of situation where he was easily crushed by others with his talent after putting in a lot of effort, so he became extreme and even a little negative about this incident.

This is just like those young people who have entered the society, everyone is full of enthusiasm at the beginning, but later I found that no matter how hard I work, there are always people who are stronger than themselves, or even stronger than themselves for various reasons, not necessarily strength, and then the heart full of blood gradually cools, forgetting the original dream, drunk and dreaming all day long, and paralyzing himself with various excuses.

But once they heard the bell ringing in their ears and woke them from their slumber, they would surely be able to move forward again and make the whole world look at it.

Leon was like the lost passerby, but he was quickly awakened by Sakazaki's words full of war intent, and understood that what he needed was not to make Kusanagi's blood purer, but to train his limit flow better.
