Blast Core has a weakness.
This technique, which involves contracting all the muscles in the body and then exploding that power all at once like a spring, has one maximum weakness that is unavoidable.
- It is not flexible enough.
Fighting is never just about who has greater strength or who is faster-so the lack of flexibility is often fatal in many situations.
Takeshi Wakatsuki knew this from the beginning.
So at that time, Takeshi Wakatsuki's idea was-Blast Core Rush!
To use the attack of a rush punch to utilize the power of the Blast Core, thereby making the attack more flexible and easier to use.
But even the Blast Core Rush actually reduces the effective range of Takeshi Wakatsuki's rush punch.
And after the Tiger was defeated by Jaden, he pondered many outcomes in his mind, and he even began to feel that such a short-range rush punch could easily have its distance judged by others, leading to his Blast Core missing!
So after that, the first thing Takeshi Wakatsuki improved was the flexibility of the Blast Core.
This meant transforming the Blast Core into a technique he could throw at any time and control with flexible precision by controlling the magnitude of the compressed power within the Blast Core.
This was not difficult for Takeshi Wakatsuki, who had to control his strength from childhood just to live a normal life.
Even without his cousin Heihachi Furumi to use as a target this time, Takeshi Wakatsuki quickly mastered the technique of the Controllable Blast Core.
But was this enough to defeat Jaden?
- Certainly not enough!
So...
Takeshi Wakatsuki, who had lowered his center of gravity, let his left hand hang down, while his right hand slowly rose.
Then-his right hand adopted the stance of a Spear Hand (Nukite)!
"Is the Tiger actually going to use a Spear Hand?"
Takeshi Wakatsuki was primarily known for using striking techniques, so when he saw him raise a Spear Hand, Gaolang Wongsawat was somewhat surprised.
Jaden, however, had no major reaction.
"Although Takeshi Wakatsuki is unconstrained in the various tactics he uses, you can still see the shadow of Karate in his movements. It's not particularly strange for someone who uses Karate to use one or two Spear Hand techniques."
Hearing Jaden say this, the others nodded.
Only Jun Sekibayashi spoke with a smile.
"That's true, but the Tiger's Spear Hand is not such a simple thing."
"Jaden, you must watch closely, this is the move the Tiger developed specifically to pierce through your monster-like body!"
Oh?
Hearing Jun Sekibayashi say this, Jaden became a little curious.
Then, in the arena, Takeshi Wakatsuki's right leg was pressed down to the point where he was almost kneeling on one knee.
And then...
- The Tiger disappeared!
His body, weighing nearly 400 pounds, vanished from sight in an instant!
Whoosh-
With Jaden's dynamic visual acuity and perception, his gaze immediately shot toward Julius.
And he saw it.
After Takeshi Wakatsuki instantly appeared in front of Julius, the hand that had been hanging freely instantly held the joint of his other hand. Then, using a rotating force, he pushed his dominant hand's Spear Hand forward a bit more!
His forward charge hadn't stopped at this point.
And then.
His Spear Hand directly stabbed into Julius's shoulder. The terrifying force, combined with his terrifying speed, made him instantly appear behind Julius, while Julius's shoulder was torn open in an instant, and blood began to flow out of the wound.
Seeing this, Jun Sekibayashi smiled even more happily.
"Jaden, this is the move the Tiger developed to tear through your defense-it is called the Ogre's Fang (Oga)!"
Hearing him say this, Jaden slowly narrowed his eyes.
"By using the ability to control the force of the Blast Core, he uses his waist as the core, and then simultaneously compresses the Blast Core twice in his right hand and right foot using both his upper and lower body..."
"The core for the right hand's force comes from the waist, back, shoulder, wrist, and even the fingers. The core for the right leg's force comes from the Tiger's weight and center of gravity-however, this force generation method puts a lot of pressure on his right foot."
"And to compress the Blast Core twice simultaneously, he uses a backward leaning center of gravity to concentrate his focus, and at the same time, uses the advantage of his center of gravity to press the power of his left half-body and his entire body weight onto his right side to help the right foot compress the Blast Core."
"And because this move cannot release its full power, the powerful reactionary force would affect his Spear Hand attack, so at the moment of the attack, he uses his other hand to provide a stable guard and thrusting force to his right hand..."
Saying this, Jaden smiled again.
"It is indeed a very formidable move."
Jaden remained the same, but Jun Sekibayashi couldn't smile now.
Because...
- The principle behind Takeshi Wakatsuki's Ogre's Fang was fundamentally the same as what Jaden had described!
After hearing Jaden's analysis, he immediately thought of the time Jaden defeated Takeshi Wakatsuki and was able to seamlessly use the Tiger's Blast Core after only watching it a few times...
Indeed.
This guy is a monster in every sense of the word!
Tiger... can he really defeat a guy like this?
Jun Sekibayashi was thinking this, but in reality... let alone Jaden, Takeshi Wakatsuki probably couldn't even pass this current hurdle in the arena.
His Ogre's Fang just now was meant to stab Julius in the heart in one strike.
If he had hit there, Takeshi Wakatsuki would have won.
But...
- He missed!
And the reason he missed wasn't due to his control over the technique, but because of his foot!
Takeshi Wakatsuki was still maintaining his stance, but he subconsciously hid his right foot from Julius's sight.
Anyone familiar with Takeshi Wakatsuki would know-his right foot carried a hidden injury from his battle with the Fang of Metsudo, Agito Kanoh!
Using the Blast Core Rush too much would cause the hidden injury in his right foot to swell up.
Not to mention the greater stress the Ogre's Fang put on his right foot!
It was at the moment he initiated the charge that his right foot suddenly gave way due to a sharp pain, which caused his attack to miss at the critical moment!
Damn it!
If that strike had connected...
"You were really close to winning."
Although he didn't know if Takeshi Wakatsuki was cursing in his mind, Julius turned around and spoke this sentence.
And then...
- Julius's demeanor changed.
The expression on his face became incredibly cold, and his eyes seemed frozen.
Julius's towering figure seemed to grow even larger in front of Takeshi Wakatsuki. His extended arms seemed capable of crushing the Tiger at any moment.
The intense pain in his right foot, coupled with the current situation, created immense pressure.
"You should have aimed here."
Julius pointed to his heart, and then he took a step.
"But you failed the last time, and I won't give you another chance!"
As Julius stepped out with one foot, the muscle that looked like scales began to spread upwards from his calf, instantly covering him from his calf all the way to his jaw!
This muscle acted like a complete armor worn on his body!
Originally, when Julius practiced this muscle control technique with Jozo Saeki, he didn't think he could develop it to this extent.
But.
That Jozo Saeki was truly amazing.
Full Body Muscle Control!
- This technique was actually successfully realized under his training!
Julius, in this state, charged at Takeshi Wakatsuki at full speed, like a stampeding bull. As his feet pounded the ground, the very earth seemed to tremble, and Julius himself raised his right fist during this process.
Takeshi Wakatsuki saw Julius truly turn into a monster. He took a long breath and adopted his guard stance again.
- He will not give up!
Because.
- He is a fighter!
So...
Takeshi Wakatsuki's concentration was absolute at this moment.
Watching Julius charge at him, without realizing it, his already swollen right foot was once again compressed into the posture he had used just now, nearly kneeling on the ground.
He fiercely compressed the 52-times-density muscle in his leg, and then-release!
The instant Julius reached him, Takeshi Wakatsuki's lowered body straightened up. He clenched his right fist, and as his right foot launched him up like a spring, he used the change in his center of gravity to leap directly to Julius's right side. Then, his swinging right fist slammed toward the position of Julius's temple, which was not covered by his muscle control!
Because he used the movement method of the Ogre's Fang, his speed was extremely fast.
But even so, Julius forcefully stomped the ground with his front foot, stabilized his body, and then sidestepped to the right, avoiding Takeshi Wakatsuki's punch.
However, Takeshi Wakatsuki did not pitch forward due to the miss this time.
Instead...
- After throwing that punch, his body began to lean backward!
How is this possible!?
Missing a full-power punch certainly shouldn't cause him to lean backward, unless... that punch was just a feint!?
If that's the case... then the Tiger's true decisive attack is...
- His left foot.
As Takeshi Wakatsuki leaned backward, his upper body bent back, and his hands adopted a stance ready to support the ground. Behind Julius, Takeshi Wakatsuki's left foot was sweeping toward Julius's back of the head from his lower left side!
- A win!
Takeshi Wakatsuki thought that although Julius could catch his left leg by retrieving his left hand and clenching his armpit, he shouldn't be able to react in time in this situation.
He shouldn't be able to see through his attack either.
But in reality...
Julius acted as if he had already known about Takeshi Wakatsuki's follow-up move. The body that had already swerved right to dodge the punch took another step to the right, and then his left hand grabbed Takeshi Wakatsuki's left foot!
At this point, Takeshi Wakatsuki instinctively crossed his arms to protect his upper body, and Julius's right fist, which he had raised during his forward charge, slammed down toward Takeshi Wakatsuki.
This...
Seeing this, Takeshi Wakatsuki's pupils contracted.
Did this guy think of everything that would happen now even while he was charging!?
Takeshi Wakatsuki thought this-but in reality, that wasn't the case.
If one could enter Julius's perspective, to Julius, the entire world had slowed down!
After Takeshi Wakatsuki's Ogre's Fang just now, Julius had entered the Perilous Time Dilation Phenomenon!
In other words, bullet time.
In the Niko Style, it was the technique called Possessing Spirit!
This was something Julius could do only after repeatedly facing near-death experiences during his body modification process, and then being traumatized by the 'God of Man' in the experimental facility!
Now, everything he looked at was in bullet time!
So Takeshi Wakatsuki's subtle movements were so easy for him to see through, so insignificant.
And then...
- Muscle Control: Blast Core!
Smash!
Julius, holding Takeshi Wakatsuki's left leg, slammed his fist into the Tiger's body.
The feeling was like hitting a tomato.
Takeshi Wakatsuki's blood instantly burst out due to Julius's immense force!
The blood splattering on the ground even made a loud 'smack' sound, like water being splashed onto the floor!
Afterward, Julius casually threw the wide-eyed Takeshi Wakatsuki onto the ground.
By the time the medical team came up to administer first aid, the monster-like man's scale-like muscles had receded like a tide, and he himself turned and walked toward the fighter tunnel.
The referee then announced the result.
"The match is over-"
"The winner is, the Monster, Julius Reinhold!"
