It's as if he's standing with a gun in his hand.
The feet are also wide open at the hips, lowering the body's center of gravity and creating a more stable stance than the horse stance.
It gives people a strong impression that both feet are firmly planted on the ground.
His aura also surged violently.
"What exactly happened in this match..."
In a VIP room.
Ren Nikaido stared at the screen, which was as big as an entire wall, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
"How come experts of this caliber keep appearing one after another? This is very detrimental to our plans. Master, why don't we take advantage of the break after the competition to assassinate these most threatening fighters and clear the way for Julius?"
He turned around and knelt on one knee, respectfully addressing the throne bathed in shadow behind him.
"No need, I don't want to extinguish the spark of the future."
The person on the throne crossed his legs and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Moreover, Julius is the 'sharpening stone' I prepared for my disciple, how could he lose to others? In other words, remember to report to me after Hayami Katsumasa's men arrive. Although his original plan was scrapped, his men can still be of use."
"yes!".
Chapter 222
as predicted.
He did not disappoint Yato and the audience.
As soon as the match started, both sides went all out.
There was no spying involved.
They played with the intensity of a final match.
Because of the information that Yato deliberately exposed, the Assassination Fist lost some of its advantage, and Oni King Sanzun fought fiercely and cleverly.
With the explosive power of a sumo wrestler, they charge forward like a bull.
His techniques are also more refined and varied compared to other sumo wrestlers.
This means that opponents cannot use the same tactics against ordinary sumo wrestlers to target Kioyama Takeru.
Lu Tian was unaware of this at first.
Because Ghost King Mountain Master still used traditional sumo techniques to fight against Lü Tian.
The skill is swift and proficient in seventy moves, plus the traditional forty-eight moves.
It demonstrated the high level of combat skills of modern sumo wrestlers.
However, modern sumo wrestling rules do not allow punches, kicks, or hair-pulling, so after defending for a while, Lü Tian adapted to his opponent's attack rhythm and began to counterattack.
Lü Tian is extremely powerful.
Even without using his true skills, he is still a top-tier fighter like Kiyoaki Aguya.
Beginner or intermediate level.
For Ghost King Mountain Lord, who had not reached the ranks of top-tier fighters, Lü Tian's counterattacks were undoubtedly highly threatening.
In order to protect themselves and to implement their tactics.
Without hesitation, he unleashed his most skilled technique: 'real-life sumo wrestling'.
It blends ancient sumo techniques with modern martial arts concepts.
Their fighting style is exceptionally fierce and unpredictable.
They are no longer bound by the taboos of modern sumo wrestling.
As a result, Lü Tian was instantly struck hard.
The incident caused a stir both on-site and online.
no way.
No one expected that a sumo wrestler could actually use his fists and feet!
And it looks like it's quite well-done.
Now everyone knew how the title "Dohyo's Fighting King" came about.
Tutu.
Many people might find this word vulgar.
However, this is actually an industry term referring to the special ring used in sumo wrestling.
'The place where the gods are said to have descended'.
When the strongman entered the arena, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground to intimidate the god of the earth.
Although Ghost King Mountain Lord is only at the 'Ten Ounces' level, he is even better at beating people than a 'Yokozuna'!
However, Lü Tian's misfortune was also inseparable from Ye Dou.
As they fought, Yato provided frantic commentary.
He would occasionally offer Ghost King Mountain Lord a few pointers, and also give Lü Tian some deceptive false information, which prevented Lü Tian from fully dealing with Ghost King Mountain Lord's unconventional sumo wrestling style.
Let's not even talk about Lü Tian.
Even the fighters felt sorry for him.
It's bad enough that they're being targeted by the opponents on the field, but they're also being targeted by the commentators.
You can only use 70% of your full potential.
But they haven't been defeated yet, and even when injured, they can still drag the battle into a fierce stage, which is enough to make people's hearts tremble.
Viewers might feel that Lü Tian was being unilaterally suppressed and that his overall strength was weaker than that of Ghost King Mountain Lord.
In reality, these fighters knew that Lü Tian's strength was definitely higher than that of Ghost King Mountain Venerable, at least on par with the winners of the previous competition, and perhaps even stronger.
Because this guy is still playing with ease, he obviously hasn't revealed his trump cards yet.
Thinking about this, many combatants felt a bit heavy-hearted.
The level of competition in this knockout stage was incredibly high.
"As expected of the prized disciple trained by Tokita Nitora, your strength is indeed formidable. Even this can't force you to unleash your [Formless]?"
Yato sighed inwardly.
No, it's not just [invisible].
Through the system's detection function, he knew that Lü Tian had another trump card.
However, this card is not very reliable, and Lü Tian will definitely not use it until the very last moment.
The situation on the field is currently very close.
At first glance, Ghost King Mountain Venerable seems to have a slight edge.
However, Yato could see that the scales of victory were gradually tipping in Lu Tian's favor.
"If the outcome cannot be determined within one minute, the Ghost King Mountain player will probably lose."
Yato spoke as if he were talking to himself.
The sound, however, was transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone.
This also includes Ghost King Mountain Lord.
"..."
Ghost King Mountain Venerable gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, my opponent is ridiculously strong. It's really annoying when a sumo wrestler uses a flanking maneuver with his assassination techniques. I definitely can't outlast him with my stamina.
Sumo wrestling has never been about prolonged battles, but rather about explosive power.
Therefore, the outcome can often be decided within one or two minutes or even a few seconds.
Although he was an 'outlier' in the world of sumo, he was unable to overcome this weakness.
This is also an integral part of the survival rules of sumo wrestling.
"Lu Tian's movements are quite agile, so he doesn't need to withstand the attacks of the Ghost King Mountain wrestler. For sumo wrestlers, stamina is a weakness that is difficult to make up for. Lu Tian deliberately avoided the opponent's sharp edge, probably intending to wait for the opponent's offensive to weaken before launching a counterattack. This is also one of the uses of 'Assassination Fist'."
"—So, there aren't many opportunities left for the Ghost King Mountain contestants."
Upon hearing Yato's words...
Ghost King Mountain Lord took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision. He first distanced himself from his opponent, then adopted a charging stance, but his center of gravity was much lower than ever before.
"Let's use this move to decide the winner."
Lu Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, his gaze serious.
He secretly adjusted his breathing and got into position.
He no longer dared to underestimate this opponent.
Although his strength is inferior to mine, his explosive power is truly astonishing. Even in the [Purgatory], he would be considered one of the best A-rank fighters. He is deliberately holding back his strength when fighting against such an opponent.
Admittedly, he was somewhat arrogant.
But this is essential for the upcoming matches.
"Is this the final blow...? I'm not going to take it head-on."
Judging from that posture, it must be another powerful strike, such as a lunge or a headbutt.
Although he is very confident in his physique, he probably won't feel good after taking this move.
Lu Tian's eyes flickered.
The hip bone moved slightly, as if a screw had been loosened. The original feeling of a very solid lower body had disappeared, replaced by a strange impression of being weightless.
The opponent's choice was to kill with a single blow.
His choice was to dodge and then counterattack.
"Both players are ready to determine a winner; the key is who is 'faster'."
Yato narrowed his eyes and calmly analyzed:
"Sumo wrestlers have particularly well-developed leg muscles, and in terms of short-distance sprinting speed, they are undoubtedly superior to Lu Tian. However, this is not a race. Lu Tian only needs to dodge before his opponent crashes into him, so neither of them has an advantage."
"However, unexpected situations may occur."
The moment the words fell.
Ghost King Mountain Lord made a move.
The enormous creature, nearly two meters tall and weighing over three hundred kilograms, vanished from the field!
No, not disappear.
Rather, it's because the human eye can no longer keep up with his speed.
Unable to capture a single trace!
This is precisely his strongest move, 'Rising Surge'.
Chapter 223
boom!
A tremendous roar resounded across the field.
Everyone followed the sound.
A cloud of dust rose from the wall behind Lü Tian, severely obstructing his view.
When the dust settled, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
