Kapitel 65: A Final Showdown Before the Main Matches
As time passed, the matches became increasingly brutal due to the presence of more skilled fighters, making it challenging for even the most experienced contestants.
Dash had been dominating one-on-one battles, just like Dre, who, after overcoming initial difficulties, started winning with much more ease.
But this time, Dash would face a boy named Liang before advancing to the main matches, and upon seeing Liang's uniform, Dash recognized which school he belonged to.
"A student of Master Li..." Dash recalled this boy, knowing that he was the one who had intentionally injured Dre in the match before facing Cheng. Although he had hurt Dre on orders, there was no doubt that letting his guard down against Liang posed a danger.
"It will be a pleasure to face you..." Smiling secretly as he looked at the ferocious-looking young man, Dash felt excited.
"Greetings! Ready? Fight!"
After hearing the start of the match, Dash kept his eyes on Liang, who raised his guard toward him.
"He must be very fast, so I need to maintain my distance..."
Liang was known for having no mercy, according to Kung Fu understanding, which was similar to the Cobra Kai that Daniel LaRusso had defeated with his two victories over that Dojo.
"Now!"
In an instant, Liang wouldn't allow Dash to assess him for too long, being the first to initiate the fight. Therefore, just as Dash evaluated his opponent, Liang slid toward him.
Apparently in front of him, Liang attacked with a punch aimed at Dash's ribs while simultaneously sliding his right leg to trip him.
"Up and feint..." Watching Liang's rapid attack, Dash concentrated, raising his guard to defend against the strikes and pushing Liang back, who had started very aggressively.
Shortly after, a series of punches and defenses echoed throughout the mat.
Pum! Pum! Pum!
"Sakura Bushido against The Fighting Dragons Studio?" As the only match that hadn't concluded, many people in the crowd were astonished as they watched Dash face off at the same level as Liang.
Not that it was a great fight, but many didn't expect a foreigner to go head-to-head with a student from The Fighting Dragons Studio, who were, theoretically, the organizers of this tournament.
"Sakura Bushido?" Master Li glanced at Dash's Kung Fu school logo and, after seeing Master Han's logo, concluded that both came from the same school.
"Do you know him?" Master Li looked at Cheng, who watched the fight with a serious expression, and shook his head.
"He has never been with that kid from the beginning..." Cheng hadn't seen Dash anywhere other than in this tournament.
"The Dojo is from abroad, although it's useless for them to wear their emblem; they will lose just the same..."
Pum!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Dash and Liang exchanged their fastest blows, causing everyone to focus on each of their combinations.
But at that moment, when Dash had stabilized his posture, a straight kick was launched from the front by his opponent. However, the result that the crowd expected did not happen because when Liang launched the kick, it was met with a fierce counterattack that left him on the ground.
Pum!
With a punch planted in Liang's shoulder, Dash, who had started to sweat, looked at this result with a smile. It's not that he couldn't have finished the fight earlier, but what he was doing was assessing Liang's Kung Fu since there were rivals like Cheng who should have the same style, being all apprentices of Master Li.
"Point!"
"Ah..." Liang held his shoulder and looked at Dash with absolute fury, feeling the shame of losing a point.
"That was truly a great counterattack!"
While Devon in the crowd watched Dash, who had delivered a kick counter to Liang, a look of happiness blossomed on her face as she and her father couldn't stop shouting messages of support.
Within the Kung Fu school, Liang is known to be one of the top three fighters, but seeing how he had been controlled all this time, many looked at Dash in amazement.
"Let's finish this!" Dash extended his fist while opening and closing his fingers in Liang's direction.
Although he had no issues with these Kung Fu students, they had spent some time bothering Dre just for a silly whim, so now Dash would repay them a bit for everything they did to his friend.
Facing Liang, Dash's eyes were firmly fixed on his movements, and as the fight began again, he ran towards him without stopping.
Since he couldn't reveal his entire fighting style, what Dash was about to do was end the fight as quickly as he could now that he had learned what he wanted.
The moment he ran towards Liang, he desperately tried to maintain control of the fight, but in a brief instant, everything had spiraled out of control when Dash's blows became faster.
Pum! Pum! Pum!
In an instant, Dash had broken through his opponent's defenses and struck his right hand into Liang's stomach.
"Ah!"
Liang, who wanted to counterattack when feeling the pain of the blow, recoiled, and before he could recover, a double kick hit his leg and shoulder.
Pum! Pum!
"Point!" The referee shouted, stopping the fight.
When Dash, breathing quickly, saw Liang on the ground, he smiled a bit and bowed respectfully.
"Winner!"

Kapitel 66: The Round of 16
By the time Dash finished the match with his overwhelming attack, he had advanced directly to the round of 16, and his opponent would be a boy with the surname Dong, who excelled in close-quarters combat.
At this moment, many people could see the leaderboard, and upon seeing the upcoming round of 16, everyone filled with excitement.
Because the matches were numerous and many of them ended quickly, the decision was made to conduct two matches at a time from the round of 16 onwards, reserving the quarterfinals for the most highlighted fights of the tournament.
"Well done, Dash, take a rest for now!" Mr. Kim handed Dash a water bottle as he stepped off the combat mat.
At this moment, after Dash's victory, two other matchups were unfolding, and this wouldn't stop until the quarterfinals. Glancing at the large screen displaying the list of qualifiers, Dash realized something curious: Dre would fight Cheng sooner than he had anticipated.
"Maybe my performance changed things..." Dash murmured while drinking water. He couldn't think of anything else; he was in the real world, and the mere coincidence of something he knew could change because he was here, he knew things could happen this way, and he didn't really care.
Sitting among the audience, Devon clenched her fists nervously as she saw Dash successfully advance to the round of 16. In her own judgment, this wasn't his peak combat performance, so she believed he was still holding back for the quarterfinals, which was fine but very risky.
In previous matchups, Dash usually didn't take long to eliminate his opponents with brutal strikes. Even on rare occasions, he would give them hope that they could score a point before swiftly eliminating them with a counterattack.
"Are you learning about his Kung Fu?" Devon came to this conclusion after seeing that the guy he defeated belonged to a Kung Fu school with many students still in the tournament.
It was a good idea to control the fights by knowing about the enemy's Kung Fu, but this also opened doors for opponents to learn about Dash's unique Kung Fu.
On Devon's left side was her mother, who was watching the matchups, and after a while, she asked, "Hey, daughter, do you think Dash has a chance to make it to the final?"
Devon didn't pay much attention to many things around her, but when she heard that question, she nodded and said, "He will easily win the matches until the quarterfinals; from there, he will have to fight with that guy named Wu Ping, who is one of the top contenders along with Cheng, so he will face difficulties from there."
Mr. Zac, who was on her right side, nodded and said, "Although Dash has good battle experience, these guys are also very aware of their surroundings, and the speed at which they move is incomparable to Karate..."
"Kung Fu makes use of techniques, so their movements are more fluid, allowing each fighter to move according to their fighting style. Dash plays more defensively to counterattack, but lately, we've been practicing close-range attacks."
"So, you also fight that way. My heart would ache if you were hit in a similar tournament."
"I may get hit, but I would win. Believe it or not, I'm better at kicks than Dash..." Devon murmured a bit annoyed by her mother's lack of confidence in her.
"Look, it seems that guy named Dre has also won the match."
Devon looked at Dre Parker, who had won by a narrow margin, and nodded. She didn't have the pleasure of getting to know him much, but she knew a few things about him from Dash, who told her about his problem and why he initially fights in a Kung Fu tournament.
...
"Listen, Dong has very strong kicks because his Kung Fu requires the fighter to harden their bones with micro-fractures, so you shouldn't clash kicks with someone like him. Focus on defense and close the fight with a feint."
Mr. Kim had seen Dong's kicks and had received many warnings about the improper use of his strength, which gave him enough hints to know that he used the power of his bones to seriously injure his opponents.
"Bone hardening is something new; why hasn't he taught me something so cool?" Dash's eyes sparkled with excitement upon learning that there was a way to harden his bones.
"Just focus; once you advance to the quarterfinals, that's when the main matches will begin, and that's all that matters in this competition." Mr. Kim pointed Dash in the direction he needed to go for his next matchup.
By the time Dash entered the mat, the audience that had paid attention to him began to cheer, hoping to witness his match.
"I'm famous wherever I go..." Dash smiled cunningly and muttered, "I'll finish this match quickly so I can enjoy the quarterfinals..."
Looking at his opponent's height, the smile on Dash's face slowly faded, and he wondered, "Is that kid old enough to compete?"
The boy who had seen Dash smiled coldly, looked him up and down, and walked to his position to begin the fight.
"Ready?"
The round of 16 had officially begun!
"Fight!"
