Kuroki Vs. Kanoh 1

Everyone was excited since they didn't expect that Yuuki would win against Wakatsuki, especially those who have bet their money on Yuuki before the match. They were simply very happy to get a lot of money from this battle.

In the semi-finals of the tournament, there was only one battle left before the final of the tournament.

Their blood was boiling after watching the fight between Yuuki and Wakatsuki, then after this, they would watch the fight between Kuroki and Kanoh. They knew that it would become a fantastic battle and they simply couldn't wait to watch this match.

Yuuki was speechless looking at Sekibayashi who grinned happily after seeing him win this match.

"Is your shoulder, alright?" Izusu asked.

Everyone turned serious when they heard it since they knew that Yuuki was blasted away by Wakatsuki in the match before. Even though they knew that Yuuki would enter the final, if his condition was bad then it was simply impossible for him to continue the match.

Yuuki shook his head and said, "It's alright." He moved both of his shoulders showing that he was alright.

"Rest for a while, you should regain your stamina before the final," Karla said with a serious expression. She might be the only girl in this place who was very knowledgeable about fighting and she knew that Yuuki might try to hide his condition. However, she didn't intend to say anything to everyone since she knew that he didn't want to make them worry.

Karla thought as his wife, she should respect her husband's decision and decided to fully support him in this tournament. She thought that she had gained a lot of points after making this decision.

Yuuki nodded, even though he wasn't that tired, but he wanted to watch the fight between Kanoh and Kuroki as soon as possible.

They went to the private room once again before watching the match between Kanoh and Kuroki on the screen.

The four CEOs didn't say anything about who would become the chairman since they knew that the conclusion of the tournament hadn't been settled yet and it wouldn't be too late to talk about this matter after Yuuki had won this tournament.

"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!"

The audience shouted loudly looking at both Kuroki and Kanoh who were standing in the middle of the arena.

"Just listen to those cheers folks! Just look at this excitement! This is no surprise!! No surprise at all!! Towards the end!! At last!! The time has come for these two men to clash!!!"

"We can't wait any longer!!! This is the 21st century duel of Ganryu Island!!!"

The referee looked at both of them then shouted loudly his voice wouldn't be drowned by the cheers of the audience.

"ARE YOU READY!!!!!!"

"....A foolish question."

"We concur."

Kanoh and Kuroki were in their stance and ready to fight anytime.

"I, Kuroki Gensai, issue my challenge."

"As king of Kengan Matches, we accept."

The referee raised his hand high then slammed it while shouting, "BEGINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!"

"And they're off!!!"

"...."

".....Hmm?"

Kuroki and Kanoh didn't move and they were still in their spot and seemed to not have an intention to move anytime after they heard the announcement of the battle. They didn't move, but no one said anything other than the commentators since all of them could feel the tension that was filled in the arena.

Some of the fighters could tell that both Kuroki and Kanoh were predicting each other's moves since both of them were masters of prediction.

The fight had already started and they were fighting each other using their minds.

It was just at this moment that Kuroki started with his first move toward Kanoh.

"Devil Lance!"

Kuroki moved his five fingers right into Kanoh.

Kanoh observed Kuroki then dodged it as if Kuroki's attack passed through his body then sent out a powerful elbow blow.

It was just that attack didn't hit Kuroki and it was as if that attack passed through Kuroki's body.

"......"

Everyone opened their mouths wide and didn't know what had happened.

"THEIR ATTACKS ARE PASSING THROUGH TO EACH OTHER!!!"

Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!

Their attack didn't connect to each other and the audience who saw them felt as if they had seen a ghost inside since it seemed their attacks were passing through each other's bodies.

Move before your opponent moves.

It was the thing that both Kuroki and Kanoh had done in this battle. Both of them were masters of prediction and they were dodging their opponent's attack before they sent out their attacks.

In the eyes of the audience, their attack seemed to pass through each other's bodies, but they didn't.

However, it was still amazing for them to be able to do this since they knew that they needed decades of training, talent, or experience to do those things.

Kanoh and Kuroki were very strong fighters and everyone had to admit this fact.

In this battle, both Kuroki and Kanoh hadn't used their legs to attack each other since if they used their legs to attack then they would give their opponent an opening. They used their fists to send out an attack after the attack.

Then suddenly the balance between them had broken and Kanoh's attack had connected to Kuroki.

Little by little, Kanoh's blows began hitting Kuroki.

Bang!

Kanoh's blow hit Kuroki's cheek making him close his eyes for a moment.

Kanoh didn't let that chance away, but at that very moment, Kuroki sent out his attack.

Stab!

Kuroki's four fingers had stabbed right into Kanoh's shoulder.

Kuroki opened his eyes and his eyes were full of fighting intent.
