With a series of crisp and piercing "crackling" sounds,
Shijima Gorou’s spine slowly stretched, his body gradually swelling and enlarging.
His clothes were forcibly torn apart, exposing his arms, thighs, and torso muscles fully.
His whole body’s rough, dark skin undulated continuously, as if numerous giant pythons were moving inside.
Bones, muscles, and joints twisted incessantly, the sounds emitted chilling to the core.
Aside from growing horizontally, his height seemed to increase from around 1.7 meters to nearly 1.8 meters.
Looking at Shijima Gorou, who had transformed into a demon-like being, Fang Cheng’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
Seeing such a bizarre and terrifying sight in reality.
How could it not be immensely shocking?
Shijima Gorou let out a coarse panting noise, his bloodshot eyes staring at Fang Cheng.
Suddenly, he pushed off the ground with his right foot, his thigh muscles rippling like waves.
His whole figure, like a massive hill, charged ferociously.
And surprisingly fast!
Fang Cheng’s pupils dilated, and he immediately took a Slip Step to the left to dodge.
Shijima Gorou’s punch fell short, hitting a limestone rockery behind Fang Cheng.
The rockery instantly dented with a fist imprint, stones flying and dust filling the air.
Amidst the dust, another fist appeared in a flash, striking at Shijima Gorou’s face.
It was Fang Cheng who turned defense into offense.
A jab, quick as lightning, solidly hit Shijima Gorou’s temple.
This move was originally just a feint focused on speed.
Seeing that the opponent did not react, Fang Cheng turned the feint into a solid punch, showing no mercy.
He aimed to knock out the "monster" Shijima Gorou with one hit.
It seemed like Shijima Gorou did not feel any pain, as he immediately grabbed Fang Cheng’s fist and squeezed hard.
Fang Cheng felt immense pressure from his left knuckles, his eyes instantly hardening.
With his right Hook Punch striking the jaw, followed by continuous Whip Kicks to the ribs, he tried to force the opponent to let go.
Shijima Gorou, however, paid no heed and simply grinned.
His other hand embraced like a bear hug, pressing tightly.
Fang Cheng could not break free immediately, and catching a glimpse of the white sand on the ground in the corner of his eye, he flicked and shook his toes.
Instantly, a large amount of sand was kicked up, blinding Shijima Gorou’s eyes, followed by a low kick.
Shijima Gorou’s face twisted, and he let out a painful howl.
Fang Cheng seized the opportunity to pull his hand back and then executed a direct kick, pushing the opponent back half a step.
He also quickly created a safe distance, adjusted his stance promptly, and watched his opponent cautiously.
After the transformation, Shijima Gorou’s muscles exaggeratedly bulged, and blue veins stood out like a monster.
His body’s attributes seemed to have greatly increased, mainly in explosive power, running speed, and resistance to strikes.
Fang Cheng let out a sigh, his eyes heavy yet with a hint of excitement.
Such an abnormal fellow was truly a rare encounter!
For Fang Cheng, with his current 18 points of Strength attribute, his punches and kicks were hard for ordinary people to withstand.
Yet, Shijima Gorou had already been hit several times heavily and still appeared vigorous.
"If punches don’t work, then let’s focus on using legs... "
Thinking this, Fang Cheng immediately changed his stance.
His hands positioned one forward and one back, adopting a more agile Sanda guard.
This stance, although reducing the power of punches, enhances the ability to resist impacts and facilitates the use of kicking techniques and throws.
Therefore, it was more suitable for handling the "Berserk Shijima Gorou," who favored brute force collisions and grapples.
Fang Cheng’s shoulders shook, his feet stepping briskly.
Faced with Shijima Gorou’s explosive attacks, he alternated between a left Shake Flash and a right Shake Flash, continuously dodging using the Butterfly Step.
With a Spirit Attribute of 20 points, his neural response speed was extraordinary, often quicker than his opponent by a beat.
Attacking head-on against such powerful strength was clearly the most foolish method.
Fortunately, when Shijima Gorou entered the "Frenzy State," his mind became unclear and his reactions somewhat dulled.
Even though the sprint attack was extremely fast, it still relied on strong thigh muscles to achieve it.
Realizing this, Fang Cheng steadily stabilized his stance and found his own rhythm.
While moving agilely, he began looking for opportunities to use leg techniques to kick at the weaker parts of his opponent’s body.
Stepping sideways to dodge, he followed with a sweeping kick to the ribs, a direct kick to the abdomen, and a side kick to the chest.
Using this method of controlling the distance, he slowly drained his opponent’s stamina.
After all, Fang Cheng had a value of 20 points in constitution, it was a matter of who would fall first.
Shijima Gorou was temporarily unable to get close, appearing even more impatient and frenzied.
His eyes were bloodshot, gasping heavily, wishing he could just grab the annoying "flea" before him.
Seeing that his punches couldn’t find their mark, he simply followed Fang Cheng’s rhythm, alternating kicks with his legs as strong as iron pillars.
Fang Cheng did not engage in a tough skirmish, still focusing on dodging and occasionally attacking to harass.
A plum tree was snapped in half by a waist back strike.
The rockery was also half-destroyed by a high sweep kick, crashing down.
Fang Cheng’s pupils slightly narrowed.
Judging by his own standards, his opponent’s strength, if valued numerically, was definitely over 20 points, or even more!
However, because this kick was overly forceful, Shijima Gorou subsequently missed his footing, and his figure staggered.
Seeing the opportunity arise, Fang Cheng decisively launched a counterattack, leveraging the force from pushing off the ground, his body soared into the air.
A 360-degree tornado kick, like a battling axe, fiercely smashed towards Shijima Gorou’s neck.
It should be known that the tornado kick, under the rotational kinetic energy of the body and the added impact of hip-flipping,
ordinary people could not block it, they could only dodge as a priority.
In fighting competitions, it is also a move with high spectator and lethal effects, often used by masters as a trump card to KO the opponent.
With this move, Fang Cheng was intent on a kill, condensing all his strength in one strike!
But Shijima Gorou did not dodge; he took it head-on with his physique.
Then he grabbed Fang Cheng’s calf, and with a swoop, like swinging a hammer, he flung him towards a nearby cement wall.
Fang Cheng was thrown out, seeing himself about to crash into the wall.
In an instant, he executed the Body Receiving Technique, adjusting his posture in mid-air.
Landing by rolling down the wall back-first, significantly reducing the impact.
Although he avoided a fracture, this move still made him extremely uncomfortable, and he was not lightly injured.
Fang Cheng groaned, feeling somewhat out of breath from the impact to his chest.
And at this moment, Shijima Gorou burst out once more, suddenly charging in front of him.
He grasped Fang Cheng’s waist and shoulders, lifted him high, and executed the "Waist Back Strike."
In a critical moment, Fang Cheng wrapped his left hand tightly around Shijima Gorou’s neck, preventing him from completing the full move.
Then leveraging the wall, he swung the man sideways to flip him over.
Both instantly fell to the ground together.
Fang Cheng, with quicker reflexes, was the first to roll up and spit out a breath of stale air.
Looking at the opponent pressed beneath him, who seemed to have fallen harder than himself.
That previous tornado kick had indeed caused some damage, coupled with this fall, it further twisted the opponent’s neck.
Suddenly, Fang Cheng had a realization.
In Jujitsu, "Sacrifice Technique" and "Pride Technique" are like yin and yang, life and death, continuously reversing the cycle.
When the opponent feels secure in victory, it’s also when he steps into a fatal trap.
In his own moment of peril, his skills might also reach a new height.
As the thought flashed by, two prompt messages appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations, you have practiced diligently and gained deep understanding, successfully mastering a fighting skill]
[Unlocked skill: Jujitsu lv0 (0/100)]
Looking at the newly unlocked skill, Fang Cheng’s breathing intensified, fists clenched.
For him, who was desperate to become stronger, he had never encountered an opponent like Shijima Gorou before.
His body functions were fully activated, and every cell pore seemed excitedly to open.
He had never been pushed to such a limit of strength and skill as today!
Watching Shijima Gorou charging again like a wild beast.
Fang Cheng’s eyes shone brightly, flaring like an orange flame.
"Let this monster help me continue to grow!"
