Chapter 41 The Grand Finals, Li Yuan VS Kuroki Gensai!
"Dragon's Roar..."
While the audience cheered for Li Yuan's victory, Kuroki Gensai seemed out of place, watching the match without making a move for a long time.
He only turned and left the spectator stands after Li Yuan had disappeared into the players' tunnel.
It's his turn in the next semi-final!
……
After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Li Yuan quickly went to the spectator stands and sat down, focusing his attention on watching the match below.
Gensai Kuroki can be considered the most powerful of the thirty-one fighters in this Kengan Elimination Tournament, besides himself.
His strength lies in the experience and fundamental skills he has accumulated over the decades!
His physique and skills, honed through years of dedicated training, left him with no weaknesses that could be exploited.
Even without flashy finishing moves, his honed, ordinary attacks are enough to deal with any martial artist in the world!
Watching the constantly shifting battles on the field, Li Yuan's heart, which had remained unmoved even after defeating the Wakatsuki samurai with a single punch, began to stir with renewed passion.
The two people in the arena are arguably the highest-level fighters on the entire Yuanliu Island, apart from him.
However, their styles are different.
Kuroki Gensai's strength lies in his steadiness and solidity, leaving no flaws.
Gano's strength lies in his ability to turn his opponents into nourishment in every battle, quickly absorbing their strengths and allowing himself to "evolve" again—a terrifying growth potential!
Their battle was a full-fledged contest of strength, technique, and strategy, with various moves and counter-moves, leaving those who understood it thoroughly entertained.
In the end, the young Kana Tsukasa was no match for the seasoned Kuroki Gensai, and was punched in the chin, leaving the stage in disappointment.
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly stood up, a hopeful smile on his face, and walked towards the contestant passage.
……
Two consecutive semi-final matches, two matches with different styles but equally high levels of skill, brought unparalleled excitement to the audience!
Even after the halftime break, the enthusiastic atmosphere inside the stadium did not cool down.
Amidst this seemingly boiling wave, Katahara Sayaka, dressed in a fiery long dress, once again stepped into the center of the arena:
"They're here! They're here! They're here!"
"Amidst much anticipation, the grand finals have finally arrived!"
"At this very moment! The two who stand at the pinnacle of the Kengan Association's fighters are finally about to meet!"
"The old king has stepped down from the throne; the future will depend on the final victor!"
"The Kengan Zeshin Tournament Finals have officially begun!"
"Next, please welcome the two competitors to the stage!"
"First up is..."
Listening to Katahara Sayaka's passionate self-introduction in the arena, Li Yuan smiled slightly, walked out of the player tunnel, and came to the center of the field.
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
Even though Katahara Sayaka was holding a microphone, and even though all the speakers in the venue were amplifying her voice.
but!
even so!
At this moment, her weak voice was still drowned out by the cheers of the entire audience!
It wasn't until Li Yuan waved in all directions that he was able to introduce the other contestant.
"This man, who trained in the 'Strange Arm Style,' defeated the Fang of Destroyer!"
"He broke all the rules with his overwhelming power and presence!"
"Those hard muscles are testament to countless hours of intense training! That imposing physique demonstrates his relentless pursuit of martial arts excellence!"
Even in his fifties, he continues to pursue the ultimate path of martial arts!
"185 cm tall, 96 kg, 4 wins and 0 losses in the Kengan Tournament!"
"Representing Motorhead Motors, the 'Demon Gun'—Kuroki Gensai!"
As the host's impassioned voice faded, the entire audience erupted in continuous cheers.
Accompanied by dazzling fireworks effects and shouts of "Kuroki! Kuroki! Kuroki!" from the crowd, Kuroki Gensai, dressed in a gray-black taekwondo uniform with hair and beard that blended together, looking like an upright black bear, slowly walked out of the contestant tunnel.
In the center of the arena, the bald referee glanced at the two opposing players, their auras rising, and sensed the increasingly suffocating atmosphere. Ignoring the cold sweat on his brow, he suddenly swung his raised arm down:
"The match begins!"
He had barely finished speaking when he heard a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, and the shockwaves hit him in the face, making his face sting and almost unable to open his eyes!
In his haste, he covered his face and retreated hastily, but at the same time, he couldn't help but look towards the battlefield ahead.
In the center of the arena, Li Yuan transformed into a blurry line, relentlessly attacking Kuroki Gensai.
With each punch and kick, countless "bang bang bang" shockwaves exploded.
Meanwhile, Kuroki Gensai stood still, twisting his body and raising his arms and knees to block and dodge the attacks coming his way!
Seeing this, even the bald referee, with his vast experience, couldn't help but shake his head and rub his eyes hard.
Because what we're seeing is really... bizarre!
If you look at Li Yuan and Kuroki Gensai with each of your two eyes, one eye will be moving wildly while the other eye remains almost still!
However, if you look at the field with both eyes at the same time, you will experience an extremely awkward and uncomfortable feeling.
Because at this moment, it's as if time itself has become out of place!
If we take Li Yuan's speed as a reference, then Kuroki Gensai seems to have stood still.
However, if we take Kuroki Gensai's speed as a reference, then Li Yuan seems to have... vanished!
At that moment, not only the bald referee, but all the audience members felt the eeriness of the situation.
Anyone looking at it with the naked eye would come to the same conclusion—
Li Yuan's speed was too fast; Kuroki Gensai couldn't keep up at all!
However, Kuroki Gensai, who remained motionless, managed to withstand every attack from Li Yuan without sustaining any damage!
You must know, this is an attack that can send Julius flying with a single punch and make Wu Lei'an, in his unleashed state, spit out blood continuously!
At this moment, the fifty-year-old man named Kuroki Gensai was like an unmoving mountain, completely bearing the brunt of it!
"This is... the first of the first..." Li Yuan said with a sigh.
Because of the extremely fast movement, the sounds rang out almost simultaneously from all directions.
The so-called "first-mover advantage" simply means predicting the opponent's next move before they make a move, and then reacting in advance.
This technique of "predicting the opponent's intentions in advance" is not a unique skill; many fighters can do it to some extent.
However, the only one who could withstand Li Yuan's attack was Kuroki Gensai!
