Chapter 24 - Abbot White vs Zamir Yasin (1/2)
”Riku has the striking superiority, but I commend Beom-soo's defense as well.”
”No ordinary person could receive such a strong punch.”
Beom-soo dashed towards Riku and gave him a spinning back fist. Riku smirked and ducked slightly and in the eyes of the crowd it looked like he barely evaded the punch. But in actual truth, he already calculated where the spinning back fist will hit him and evaded at the right timing.
Beom-soo was surprised that Riku was able to evade his spinning back fist leisurely.
”He barely evaded the spinning back fist from Beom-soo. That kind of punch would have knock him down if he was not able to duck in time.”
'These fools. They can never comprehend the thoughts of a fighter.' Thought Brogen in contempt after hearing the crowd's remarks.
Riku inched towards Beom-soo and held his shoulders firmly. He then swung his right knee forward and hit Beom-soo's stomach severely.
”Urggh!” Beom-soo clutched his stomach with his left hand and glared at the smiling Riku.
Beom-soo dashed towards Riku in madness and gave him a flurry of swift punches and kicks, but Riku evaded them with ease and deflected the stronger attacks with his thick arms.
Riku then stepped forward, spun his body backwards and threw a devastating back kick at Beom-soo.
Beom-soo who lost his calm because of the knee attack earlier was not able to defend and his stomach was again walloped with a much greater force.
His body was thrown in mid air after receiving the spinning back kick and dropped off the stage.
”What the hell!? What a strong spinning back kick! It must have broke some of his ribs.”
”Nasty strike! That was quite painful.”
Sima Yantong was also amazed by the spinning back kick and praised the Kaito Airlines' president for being able to employ such a strong subordinate.
”First match, Asahi Riku from the Kaito Airlines wins!” Sima Yantong announed loudly causing a massive cheering from the crowd.
”What an amazing fight! It happened so fast that I did not even blink just to catch every part of the fight. And I am impressed by both their skills, but Riku is a much better fighter and he also has a professional fighting experience. So his win was not unexpected at all.” Old man Sekoujo said after puffing rings of gray smoke.
Asahi Riku raised his right arm and smiled towards the crowd. He then walked down the stage and sat beside the president of Kaito Airlines.
”Good job Riku! You have fought well. Rest for a moment and prepare yourself for your next fight.” The middle aged president of the Kaito Airlines said with a face full of smiles.
”Yes sir, I will not disappoint you!” Asahi Riku answered confidently.
Sima Yantong then announced the next fight ”Can I have the fighter from the Taixi Temple to come onto the stage please.”
A bald middle aged man wearing buddhist clothes went up onto the stage. He then bowed his head slightly towards Sima Yantong with both his fists pressed on each other.
Sima Yantong nodded his head and asked with a smile ”How are you today Abbot White?”
”Amitabha, this old monk is fine. I would have not joined the fight if not for my dear friend's request.” Abbot White answered in a calm voice.
