.
Yuji looked at those statistics with interest. In terms of strength, his new opponent was superior to Charles Choi in James Lee's body, but lost out in terms of speed.
It wasn't impressive at that point, but something was catching the young fighter's eye.
Your potential.
It was bigger than James Lee's, and on a par with Daniel Park, who Yuji could say was Korea's most promising fighter, at least that he knew of.
He was unable to gauge his level of fighting skill for the time being, but even so, Yuji felt he should be a little careful.
He didn't think he could lose, but it was still better for him to fight with a little caution.
"Don't shy away! Let me take a piece of your flesh!"
!
Swinging his axe in Yuji's direction, Gitae frowned as the young man hit the handle of his weapon, sending it flying away and crashing into a wall.
"With that toy axe?" Yuji sneered, and grabbing the man's wrist, he landed a knee on his abdomen that pushed him backwards. "Stop fooling around."
Boom!
But believing that that hit would be able to make the man buckle in pain, Yuji quickly raised his arms to block a powerful punch, his feet being dragged backwards as the impact ripped through all his muscles.
'A surprising strength.' Yuji noted, his eyes narrowing as he watched Gitae rub the back of his neck.
"Shit, I really wanted to take a chunk out of you." Gitae declared quite normally, and taking a step forward, he brought his fingers together like spears. "Well, whatever. I can use my hands."
!
Taking a step to the side when Gitae tried to pierce him with his hand, Yuji hit him with a straight punch to the jaw, the man just shook his head and held the boy's shoulder tightly.
"Got it."
Declaring with a monotonous tone, he struck Yuji's defense with his palm, the attack flying like a real spear and pushing the Kengan King of Pranks backwards.
*Squirting
Feeling something drip from his forearm, Yuji looked at the limb to see a shallow puncture in his flesh.
'It looks like the devil's spear.' He shook his arm, getting rid of the blood. 'But I'd say it's rather inferior.'
"Looks like I didn't go deep enough." Gitae cracked a small smile, and rubbing his blood-stained fingers over his face, he prepared himself. "I'll just have to push harder next time."
Boom!
Exploding towards Yuji, Gitae retracted his arm in anticipation, reaching him in an instant and launching his attack, this time with the intention of piercing her target's chest.
"Hey."
But before he could complete his attack, a kick came at his knee, causing him to stumble.
"If you want to pierce someone..."
Gitae's eyes widened, and as he jumped back to retreat, he was surprised to see Yuji following him calmly.
"Do it like this."
!
Yuji's hand passed through his defense with ease, hitting him squarely in the ribs.
"Ugh..." And Gitae felt the damage perfectly, Yuji's fingers trailing across his flesh until they timidly reached his liver. "Damn you."
Gitae tried to grab the boy by the hair, but a straight elbow to the chest sent him stumbling backwards.
'He stopped at the last moment.' Gitae pressed the wound on his chest, his eyes narrowing as he watched Yuji carefully. 'He could have gone through my liver, but he didn't.'
'That was certainly a warning, that next time he won't be so compassionate.'
Gitae cracked a toothy grin, his eyes opening wildly as his muscles stiffened.
'What a treat! It's been a long time since I've felt like this.'
Taking a step forward, Gitae clenched his fists, putting aside the idea of punching the boy.
"Yeah, kid. I guess I was right." Gitae let his posture drop, his arms falling as he watched Yuji in a predatory manner. "You certainly must taste delicious."
"Weird."
!
Blocking a fist that came at his side, Yuji quickly stepped back while deflecting the trajectory of another punch, his eyes narrowing as he skillfully blocked most of the attacks aimed at him.
'What's that?' Jumping when a kick threatened to hit his knee, Yuji rotated his torso and hit Gitae in the face with a kick that pushed him backwards. 'Why am I sensing a familiarity in this guy's style?'
Landing on the ground, Yuji quickly lowered his arms to defend against a straight kick that knocked him backwards.
'Wait...'
His wrist grabbed, Yuji quickly tried to manipulate Gitae's flow, but a sudden headbutt interrupted him, hitting him in the temple.
'That's...'
Taking advantage of the boy's confusion, Gitae punished him with a flurry of punches, his attacks flying like cannonballs.
'The Formless style?
Boom!
Receiving a powerful punch to the stomach, Yuji spat out a little blood as he was sent backwards, quickly stepping firmly on the ground to stop his momentum.
'I see, so this man has developed his own formless style.' Wiping the blood from his lips, Yuji cracked a smile: 'Impressive.'
Parrying the man's fist as he attacked, Yuji grabbed his hair and pulled him down, hitting him in the face with a knee.
'But in the end, it doesn't matter. I've outgrown this style before.'
Gitae choked when Yuji's fist hit his stomach, the sensation of having his organs crushed making him freeze for a moment, which allowed Yuji to position his fist centimeters from his jaw.
"One-inch punch."
With a quick whisper, Yuji struck the man in the face, a crackling sound ringing throughout the room in a frightening indication of the breaking of the sound barrier.
Gitae flew away, but quickly planted his feet on the ground, preventing him from going any further.
His breathing was heavy, and blood dripped from the side of his chin, part of his skin torn and oozing uncontrollably, as he struggled to open and close his mouth.
'He fractured my jaw.' Gitae thought with irritation, and turning to Yuji, who seemed quite unmoved by his situation, the man narrowed his eyes. 'To think that little prick would give me so much trouble. Now I understand why that old man lost.'
Clenching his jaw, a pop sounded, Gitae giving a toothy grin. 'This is getting better and better!'
Yuji watched with little interest, and with a sigh, he raised his guard.
The man in front of him was certainly on a different level, and he would say that he surpassed even James Lee, but Yuji had had enough. He had faced many opponents in a row, and none of them had made his blood boil like his opponents in the Kengan tournament.
He wanted to finish it and return to Japan so that he could really fight.
Because ever since he had arrived in Korea, he had just been having fun.
Boom!
Yuji turned as Gitae lunged to his side, deftly dodging a punch aimed at his head while blocking a knee.
Gitae clenched his teeth and tried to grab the boy's neck, but an elbow hit his fractured chin, causing his skull to shake.
"That's enough." Yuji kicked the man's foot, causing him to fall to his knees. "I've let you have enough fun."
Holding the man by the wrist, Yuji simply manipulated his flow of power, making him do a complete flip in the air before slamming his back into the ground.
"I have more important matters to deal with."
Manipulating him once more, Yuji made him fall on his head this time, the man's body softening and collapsing.
"I'm not going to lie, you were a great warm-up."
Passing the man's body, Yuji left the police to deal with the rest.
"But that's all it was."
Starting to walk away, Yuji didn't notice when Gitae's body moved slightly, his eyes narrowing only when a moan reached his ears.
'Still conscious, huh?' Turning around, Yuji sighed in annoyance. 'I'll start hitting them even after they're dead, just to be sure.'
"Idiot."
!
But causing the young fighter to open his eyes in surprise, Yuji quickly put up a defense as Gitae swept the distance between them in a single instant, his wrist being gripped tightly enough to keep it in place.
"It's just beginning!"
Boom!
Yuji spat blood as a fist hit his chest, Gitae not letting go of his wrist and hitting him once more, this time with a kick that sent him rolling across the floor.
'Did he copy my one-inch punch?
Getting up, Yuji was forced to block a flying knee, Gitae with a crazed smile grabbing his shoulder.
"Got it again!"
Suddenly finding himself upside down, Yuji frowned.
'Damn, copy too?
Boom!
The man's foot struck Yuji's face violently, his body flying away and hitting the wall of a building, causing it to shake.
"Earthquake?"
"Shit, take cover, quick!"
Yuji listened from inside the building as he rose from the rubble, his shoulders slumped as he watched Gitae prepare to move forward once more.
"It looks like my night is going to be longer than expected."
