"Are you ready, Miguel?" Johnny didn't know where Danny's strength came from, but he was an absolutely formidable opponent, challenging to defeat unless Miguel had a chance of being superior in skills.
"I'm ready, Sensei!" Miguel said, adjusting his belt.
As they faced each other, Danny bowed as a sign of respect.
"Fight!"
Pum!
In an instant, Danny's right fist collided with Miguel's quickly launched kick. Many might think the kick surpassed the punch, but Danny showed no sign of being affected in the slightest.
As Miguel's kick rebounded, he unleashed another kick. This time, it was met by Danny's instantly launched kick, both demonstrating their exceptional techniques.
While Miguel excelled in techniques, Danny unleashed powerful attacks whenever Miguel tried to move forward. The speed of both fighters was incredible, with many in the crowd struggling to process such rapid exchanges between Miguel and Danny.
Pum!
At that moment, a loud sound resonated as Miguel's leg clashed with Danny's. Danny's firm strength proved superior, and the pain on Miguel's face was evident after this dangerous collision.
Countless eyes watched, anticipating a potential fracture after such a collision, but fortunately, it didn't happen.
After the attack, Danny jumped and attacked again, as if the previous strike had no effect on him whatsoever. Miguel began to retreat, clearly having lost the initial impact. This was precisely because he wasn't accustomed to the collision of his bones against ones that had been trained since childhood.
Dash had recommended improvement in this aspect, but many gave up midway due to the pain, and this progression was gradual, making it challenging for very few to maintain this enhancement.
Miguel, understanding that he couldn't risk direct blows against Danny, didn't back down. His strikes remained aggressive, but he was still at a disadvantage.
"Begin!"
While Miguel's direct punch hit Danny's chest, Danny suddenly sidestepped. His kick struck Miguel's cheek, causing him to immediately fall to the ground from the powerful impact.
In this exchange of blows, the fight seemed decided for many, and this was extremely terrifying because losing Cobra Kai would mean it passing to someone else.
After seeing that not only had his punch failed to have any effect, but it had been countered by Danny, Miguel's expression transformed into pure desperation. He knew exactly what Cobra Kai would lose because of his failure.
Miguel couldn't allow his Sensei to lose Cobra Kai due to his weakness. He wouldn't surrender until his bones were broken or he was rendered unconscious.
Swish!
Under Danny's intense, continuous attack, Miguel deflected all the blows, and for a moment, the fight turned into an exchange of blows, leaving the result to endurance and resilience.
Striking repeatedly, Miguel felt that no matter where he hit, he couldn't win because somehow Danny was a monster. This fight made no sense.
Terry Silver smiled proudly, observing how Cobra Kai's best students were defeated one after another by his adoptive son. He knew he had made a perfect choice by adopting his champion to establish the foundations of the true Cobra Kai.
"Begin!"
Miguel's fist hit Danny's face, but as if feeling absolutely nothing, Danny responded with two quick stomach punches. As if that wasn't enough, he took a step back, delivering another kick, this time to the lower part of Miguel's chest.
Crack!
"Ah!"
Feeling weakened, Miguel wanted to stay on his feet, but immediately, Danny fell onto his body and extended his hand, which formed into a fist. However, he stopped midway, hovering over Miguel's face.
"Do you surrender?"
Miguel opened his eyes, frowned at Danny, but didn't respond to his opponent's question because he knew exactly that if he lost, there was no hope for Cobra Kai to belong to them.
Danny, looking at Terry, wanted to know what to do in this uncomfortable situation. Terry nodded. At that moment, as Danny turned around, about to hit Miguel, a cry came from the side.
"Stop!"
Everyone looked at Johnny. There was a brief silence when he said, "We surrender. You've won this match!"
"I can continue..." Miguel's words got stuck in his throat at that moment.
He knew he could continue, but defeating Danny was an entirely different matter.
