44: Chapter 44 Going All Out

Chapter 44 All Out

Inside the secluded and elegant courtyard.

A layer of fine white sand was paved on the ground, and several rugged rockeries were placed around.

Two people stepped in one after another, each doing warm-up exercises to stretch their muscles and bones.

The surroundings were completely barren without any extra decorations.

Only a single red plum blossom was in full bloom, with many petals fallen under the tree.

Located in the backyard of the villa, after remodeling, it presented a strong Japanese style.

Fang Cheng took off his shoes and completed a set of Squat exercises.

Then, with a whooshing sound, he continuously skipped forward, threw punches, and kicked a few times.

Afterward, he quietly stood in the center of the courtyard, gazing intently at Majima Goro, who was standing a few meters away wearing a gray martial arts uniform.

Half an hour ago.

Facing Majima Goro's challenge invitation in the living room.

After careful consideration, Fang Cheng ultimately chose to accept the challenge.

The generous reward of 100,000 yuan was inevitably tempting.

If he could get this money, his grandfather's surgery fees would be settled immediately, and his mother would no longer have to worry anxiously.

What's more.

Since the other party issued the challenge so openly and aboveboard.

As a martial artist, how could he fear the enemy and shy away from battle.

Having figured this out, Fang Cheng took it calmly and no longer acted timidly.

He simply regarded this martial arts match as an even more intense sparring session.

It was also the best practical training opportunity for all the combat techniques he had recently mastered.

Previously, Fang Cheng and Majima Goro had traded blows informally several times.

He could feel that the other party's physical strength was indeed very strong, and their attacking power far exceeded that of ordinary professional players.

However, Fang Cheng's current strength attribute was as high as 18 points, which was completely not inferior to the other party.

Coupled with the advantage of his mental attribute, even if the other party had some hidden ultimate Moves, he believed he could control the battle situation.

On the verge of battle, Fang Cheng secretly analyzed the opponent's specific strength and habitual Moves.

Majima Goro also finished his warm-up exercises and struck a Goju-ryu fighting stance.

He saw his arms slowly raised, crossed into a cross shape, and then he pulled his hands into fists to gather strength.

Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed.

Through days of observation and learning from discs, he knew that Karate experts generally had a preparatory pulling posture before starting a fight.

Its principle was equivalent to the sinking of Qi into the Dantian in traditional martial arts, which meant channeling force throughout the whole body to make it easier to exert power.

What Majima Goro did was obviously as he said, truly preparing to go all out.

Fang Cheng immediately stepped forward and backward, slightly bent his knees, and raised his arms over his chest.

He also struck his most proficient classic Boxing guard.

Under the afternoon sunlight, in the courtyard used as a martial arts arena.

Two figures stood facing each other in a standoff, without any spectators.

A wisp of breeze blew past, petals drifted down slowly, and hair brushed across the eyebrows.

"Hai!"

Majima Goro suddenly exhaled and shouted, stepped forward, shifted his figure, and sprinted over quickly.

At the same time, his fists turned into pushing palms, adopting a forward-bending standing Spear-hand opening stance.

A Knife-hand carrying a fierce piercing sound instantly slashed towards Fang Cheng's neck.

Fang Cheng skipped to the side to dodge, and taking the momentum, threw a backhand spinning backfist.

Majima Goro raised his palm to block.

Fang Cheng's lead hand feinted with a jab, and his rear hand swiftly delivered a heavy punch straight to the face.

"Snap!"

Majima Goro reacted half a beat too slow, and in his haste, could only use his arms to block and protect his head.

Fang Cheng closely followed with a whipping roundhouse kick, swinging it heavily toward the left side of his abdomen.

In less than two seconds.

Majima Goro, who previously seemed composed and dignified, was forced to switch from an offensive posture to a defensive one, appearing somewhat unable to parry.

But Fang Cheng didn't give the opponent any breathing room at all, his continuous combination punches being as fast as afterimages.

Hook punches hitting the ribs, jabs harassing the enemy, supplemented by Kicking Techniques, landing sudden blows out of nowhere.

With feints and assaults, he suppressed the opponent into a steady retreat.

Majima Goro, who was blindly taking beatings, seemed to have been beaten into a rage.

He immediately gritted his teeth and glared, relying on his thick skin and flesh to forcefully withstand Fang Cheng's unrelenting roundhouse kick.

Then seizing the flaw, his left hand caught the leg and locked it, while his right hand took the opportunity to counterattack Fang Cheng.

"Snap!"

The two instantly traded blows punch for punch, exchanging a Move.

Fang Cheng's figure swayed, and he swiftly retracted his leg and stepped back, continuously adjusting his center of gravity.

Majima Goro didn't retreat, instead wincing in pain with a distorted face and baring his teeth.

He saw that the knuckles of his right hand were shockingly red and swollen.

Clearly, without knowing the truth, he suffered from the special effect of "Iron Fist".

Fang Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he took a slight breath.

Since the opponent actively requested him to use his full strength, naturally he wouldn't hold back anymore.

Therefore, right from the start, he fought exceptionally aggressively, with no so-called probing phase.

This was respect for his own character and respect for the opponent's strength.

Majima Goro didn't expect Fang Cheng's offensive ability to be not the least bit weaker than his durability.

He seemed to be provoked into anger by Fang Cheng's reckless style of fighting.

At this moment, his eyes were red and fierce, showing strong signs of returning to his past frantic state.

After taking a deep breath, he immediately lunged forward and launched another offensive.

But this time, Majima Goro was clearly well aware that Fang Cheng's Punching techniques were superior to his own.

He simply stopped using Karate's hand techniques and instead competed with him in Kicking Techniques and grappling.

Fang Cheng countered every Move, blending defense with offense.

He clearly felt that Majima Goro's strength had grown a bit stronger again.

Not a single mistake, one by one, look!

He guessed in his heart that it was perhaps due to the opponent entering that frantic state of mind.

For a time, the two had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Fang Cheng was tall with long legs and faster reactions, capable of unleashing several Moves in an instant.

Clearly securing the upper hand.

Majima Goro had richer combat experience, and even under passivity, he could still unearth counterattack opportunities.

Relying on the advantages of his short, sturdy stature and low center of gravity, he occasionally used leg-catching and throwing techniques to force Fang Cheng to change his Moves.

Suddenly, he used the leg-clamping technique again, smoothly turning around with a rear foot sweep, followed by a minor inner reap.

This series of combo Moves was extremely smooth and the actions were extremely covert.

But they had already been seen through by Fang Cheng, who had figured out the Moves.

One week of Jiu-Jitsu training had taught him various methods of falling and many anti-takedown skills.

He swiftly intercepted with his left leg and pulled with his right hand on the wrist.

While destroying his balance, he also smoothly broke free from the grappling entanglement.

Then came continuous roundhouse kick attacks, whipping over incessantly like a whip.

By this time, Fang Cheng had completely controlled the rhythm, showing a crushing momentum.

"Bang!"

Another side kick struck the chest.

Under the huge impact force, Majima Goro crashed into the rockery behind him, letting out a muffled groan.

Vaguely, a faint "crack" sound rang out, and his chest ribs seemed to have broken two.

Just how great 18 points of strength was could be glimpsed from this.

Even the thick-skinned Majima Goro suffered heavy damage.

Fang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, feeling like he had been too serious and actually injured the employer.

Then he shook his head slightly, showing a hint of disappointment.

"Is it ending just like this?"

The light screen flickered, and two prompt messages subsequently emerged before his eyes.

[You experienced a hearty and exhilarating battle, Boxing experience + 30]

[You experienced a hearty and exhilarating battle, Sanda experience + 35]

Originally, Fang Cheng still held some expectations in his heart regarding the true power that Majima Goro spoke of.

Unexpectedly, as his physical attributes increased and his skills continuously advanced,

the strong player who previously gave the entire club's coaches a headache could no longer withstand his full-strength attack.

Right at this moment, a sudden low laughter sounded.

"Hehe..."

Majima Goro slowly climbed to his feet, his entire body's joints continuously making crisp popping sounds.

The moment he raised his head, those crimson eyes stared straight at Fang Cheng, his gaze as sharp as an awl.

He licked the blood foam overflowing from the corner of his mouth, as if enjoying the stimulation brought by the pain.

It seemed that the previous duel between the two was still just a warm-up, merely a test for Fang Cheng.

"You are indeed strong enough."

Majima Goro twisted his neck, then gave Fang Cheng a thumbs up, revealing a satisfied and eccentric smile:

"Therefore, next, please be sure to raise your spirit to one hundred percent, and never be negligent and careless!"

Fang Cheng couldn't understand what he was talking about.

But he could clearly see the changes occurring in Majima Goro's physical state.

His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was heavy, and veins surfaced on his face.

It seemed he was holding back a major ultimate Move, except the charging time was a bit long.

Fang Cheng didn't slack off, resetting his stance and staring intently at the opponent.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank abruptly.

He saw Majima Goro's entire body as if being inflated, suddenly expanding by a circle.

"Boom——"

Immediately afterward, his entire set of clothes shattered instantly, turning into countless flying gray cloth pieces.
