Martial Arts System

42:Winner is...

*Stab*

Ichiro's hand was currently stabbing at Slych's torso perfectly.

Blood started flowing furiously from it.

Slych grimaced, he grabbed Ichiro's arm and pulled his hand out.

''GRRR!'' Slych gritted his teeth and managed to take the hand out, then he unleashed his front kick which pushed Ichiro backward.

Slych quickly put his hand on his wound to stop the bleeding.

While Ichiro was barely staying standing.

'System… My HP?'

[9/65 HP]

'Fuck…' Ichiro cursed in his mind.

The Painkillers effect started disappearing and even greater pain assaulted his body.

The side effects started to also appear.

'I should have done ordinary Iron Lance… but then my attack perhaps wouldn't have injured him…' Ichiro shook his head, to get rid of his self-blame.

Slych went back into his fighting stance with a huge wound on his torso bleeding furiously.

Ichiro gritted his teeth and went into his Cat Fighting Stance.

…

(In Raften Household)

''Slych is injured!'' Sara exclaimed with horror.

Emilia put her hands on her mouth while looking at the scene of Slych bleeding with a terror-filled face.

Zeux also paled. ''What the fuck is that attack…''

'Even if they are good friends… they still fight like their lives are on the line…' Penelope thought.

''Look!'' Sara pointed and everyone saw that the TV camera zoomed on Ichiro's figure which was trembling like non-stop.

''He is on his last legs… How?'' Zeux asked curiously.

''He must have been injured before the match,'' Penelope said.

Others exclaimed and nodded.

…

(In Irio)

Ayako, Eiji, and Azumi looked at the screen with clenched fists.

They sighed a relief once they saw Ichiro's attack injuring Slych heavily.

…But then seeing Ichiro barely staying conscious…

It was a very difficult sight to see.

…

''Keep attacking!'' The old man shouted with his hoarse sound.

''Ichiro is far more injured, father.'' Her daughter said, she was a doctor in the nearby hospital and she can easily see who is the more injured one.

Even she was shocked seeing Ichiro's attack which pierced through Slych's flesh, which in some sense should be impossible to do with his physique.

…But she was also shocked seeing Ichiro's injuries.

She can clearly see that his vision started getting blurry because he keeps rubbing his eyes.

And while he is in his fighting stance, he can barely stand straight.

''Damn, will we lose again in the Round of 16!'' The old man shouted anxiously.

Last year Irio's team also lost in the Round of 16, that year Lucas fought with the team, but his teammates were third-years who were Martial Leader rankers.
