____Narration____
Back in the arena, Gaolang and Kaneda stared at each other with intensity. To most people, the fight had just stopped for a moment while the two fighters talked, but to the more experienced ones, it was clear what was happening there. Both fighters were now completely serious, and intended to finish the fight in a few moves.
Saw Paing, knowing Gaolang, knew well that at that moment, his rival would fight using all his strength in respect to Kaneda, who even though he was inferior to him in all attributes, still kept getting up to face him. He smiled at this, after all, seeing fights like this always made his blood boil. This only served to make him even more excited for his fight against Yuji Shinakawa, who, from what he had heard from some people, was already one of the favorites to win the tournament.
"...!"
Boom!
After a few seconds of silence between the two fighters, both finally moved forward, the distance between the two disappearing in an instant, Kaneda being the first to strike with an elbow, Gaolang easily dodging the attack and countering with a hook to his face.
"!"
But surprising even the boxer, Kaneda went down moments before the blow hit him, him wasting no time and immediately trying to counter with a punch. But Gaolang was not considered the best boxer today by luck, so a direct attack like that was not a risk in his eyes.
"Uh?" But Kaneda was not an idiot, he had a deep knowledge of Gaolang's abilities, and knew that he would not be hit by such a simple attack, so to prevent the boxer from backing off, he stepped on his foot the instant he threw his punch.
It was a surprise to Kaneda to see that Gaolang had fallen for the same trick again, since attempting such an attack would be suicide if the boxer predicted what he was about to do. But from the looks of it, he was in luck.
Boom!
Without changing his expression, Gaolang easily blocked the punch with his forearm, in his mind praising Kaneda for pulling it off.
'Really, Kaneda Suekichi. You deserve my respect, so I will keep my promise.'
Before Kaneda could move away, Gaolang quickly chased after him and attacked with his right fist, the average fighter barely dodging the attack as he continued to retreat, Gaolang following him as he sent out several punches.
'Fortunately I can perfectly predict his movements due to my previous analysis against Yuji. Now I just need to find a gap to attack!' Kaneda thought as he dodged a punch that almost hit his face, cold sweat collecting on the back of his neck as he tried to maintain his speed since he knew that if he lost his rhythm for a single second, he would be hit by a full force punch from Gaolang.
But Kaneda needed a single moment, a single vacuum, even if it was for an almost imperceptible moment.
"!"
And that's exactly what happened when Gaolang aimed for his ribcage and attacked with a right hook, a nervous smile appearing on Kaneada's lips as he took a step back to evade the punch while immediately grabbing the boxer's wrist.
'That's what I needed!'
Gaolang, seeing his wrist being held, quickly turned his body and attacked with his left fist to free himself, but Kaneda prepared himself for this, after all, he remembered what Yuji had told him about Gaolang, as well as having felt the fighter's skill in his skin.
Just as his fist was about to hit Kaneda's stomach, instead of the twist that Gaolang expected, the average fighter attacked with a knee strike to his stomach.
The boxer's eyes widened in surprise, and Kaneda was quick to take advantage of this moment to try to take him down.
Boom!
But surprising the entire audience and even the referee, just as Kaneda was about to grab the boxer, a punch landed on his chin with enough force to push him down, Kaneda's consciousness disappearing the instant his face collided with the hard floor of the arena.
[It's over!]
"That's enough!"
The judge announced, the audience silent for a moment, before bursting into applause.
Gaolang stared at Kaneda's unconscious body for a few seconds, his eyes landing on his abdomen for a moment before returning to his opponent.
"My victory is an immutable fact." Gaolang suddenly spoke up. "But still, you managed to hit me twice, even when I started to take you seriously."
Turning around, the boxer began to walk out of the arena.
"So you fought well. Now you can rest, my friend. A strong opponent."

In Yuji's mental landscape, a battle was taking place. In the middle of the arena, two blobs were colliding with ferocity against each other, leaving most of the floor of the place destroyed.
Boom!
With the collision of the blurs, Yuji suddenly flew backwards as he dragged his feet on the ground to stop his momentum, his breathing panting as he looked across the arena at which Genzan had just appeared.
"What? Have you had enough, kid?" The old master asked with a friendly smile.
Yuji returned the smile as he listened to him, his eyes moving down to see the state of his own body. On his shoulders, small points of flesh were twisted, while on his right thigh, much of his muscle was twisted, making it difficult for him to move.
"Holy shit... You're pretty fast for a dead guy, old man." Yuji let out a light laugh.
It was a surprise that at the end of his conversation with Genzan, the master himself asked that he could help him improve in the Koei style. Yuji obviously didn't deny this, and taking advantage of the free moment, decided to start training immediately. Since the young fighter already had a very good knowledge of the style, Genzan didn't bother to teach him the basics, advancing directly to a sparring session, where the two would fight entirely using the Koei style.
Yuji didn't worry about it, after all, he already had an absurd mastery of the Koei style, and had even created some variations of his main technique which was the [Rakshasa Palm], so he was confident that he could easily fight the old master, since Genzan himself had been killed by Setsuna, who Yuji had already overcome a long time ago.
But the truth turned out to be quite different in the end.
"Never underestimate an old man." Genzan replied with a friendly tone. "Well, let's move on."
While Yuji had a broader knowledge of the style, Genzan completely mastered his only two techniques, and knew how to use them as if they were part of his body. Because of this, Yuji ended up being greatly surpassed by the old man, who even unveiled the variations that the boy used in the middle of the fight, despite not being able to use them.
Yuji could not believe that Setsuna had been able to kill the old man in head-on combat, and could only deduce that he had somehow caught him distracted.
'If Setsuna killed him in clean combat, I will spend an entire night completely naked in the Amazon forest.'
Catching his breath, he got into position, his expression hardening as he prepared to move forward.
'At least facing someone so experienced is being great, I'm slowly adjusting the [Rakshasa Palm] to make it perfect like his.'
"Don't get distracted, kid!"
Surprising Yuji, Genzan advanced towards him like a blur, Yuji quickly deflecting the direction of the man's palm using his forearm, and counterattacking with his own palm.
"Too slow! You're thinking too much about rotating your arm!" Genzan spoke as he deflected off the palm with relative ease.
Too fast for Yuji to escape, Genzan's palm struck his other thigh, his flesh twisting as he jumped backwards to escape the master's grasp.
"Ugh..." The boy growled in pain, his eyes landing on his wound, which while not preventing him from moving, would greatly reduce his speed.
'Hehe! It's been a long time since I've been pushed like this...'
"..."
As his injuries throbbed all over his body, Yuji cracked a wide smile, his eyes landing on the master in front of him, who immediately became alert at this.
'That's great... It will help me evolve even more!'
