Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 41 Women's Combat
Underground fighting competitions are not exclusive to the Kengan Association.

Or, to put it another way, while the Kengan Fighting Tournament is an underground fighting event, the Kengan Fighting Association is far from the only organization that holds such tournaments.

Compared to the "Kengan Matches" which originate from commercial competition, many underground fighting groups actually tend to "make direct profits".

They often have connections with yakuza groups or even politicians, recruit fighters, organize competitions, attract spectators and gamblers, and collect ticket fees and gambling winnings.

Just like in the "official" world of fighting, underground fighting competitions include both the classic "men's division" and the less competitive but equally popular "women's division".

This is "Women's Underground Fighting"!
……

……

Shiraki was drawn by the "smell and sensation," and wandered around, stopping frequently, until he arrived here.

This is an empty warehouse, without any goods piled up. Instead, a simple arena has been set up in the center, with a layer of sand casually spread on the ground.

It was obvious to the naked eye that this underground fighting arena was quite rudimentary, even worse than the makeshift preparations made by the Mischievous Teeth Group during the "Shiraki Sho vs. Komada" match.

Despite the dilapidated venue, it did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm.

More than a hundred people surrounded the arena, both men and women, mostly thugs or gangsters, who seemed to be there to kill time, shouting and yelling all the while.

"..."

Since it was an illegal activity, there were bound to be some henchmen who were there to keep watch. They noticed that Bai Mucheng was a stranger, so they went up to question him and demanded a viewing fee.

Bai Mu paid the money, and the younger brother explained some precautions to him, such as not being allowed to take pictures with a mobile phone, or to cause trouble or resort to violence, etc.

My younger brother isn't particularly skilled, but he didn't do anything outrageous either; he just had a perfunctory work attitude.

It is not hard to see that the organizers of this underground fighting competition, although not an outsider group, are clearly at the bottom of the industry.

Such groups are unable to hold high-quality fighting competitions and find it difficult to attract a large audience.

However, the situation is different when it comes to "women's combat".

Compared to the men's group, which is full of blood, savagery, and violence, the women's fighting attracts audiences with its "erotic" element.

This is also a clever survival strategy for grassroots groups.

……

……

Since we've already come and paid, we should naturally find a place to watch the game properly.

Bai Mucheng squeezed through the crowd and approached the arena.

The competition has begun, the atmosphere is gradually heating up, and the audience's emotions are also getting heated.

"Charge! Kill her! Kill them all!"

"Haha, I'm really lucky tonight, I can see a 'famous player' compete for a small amount of money..."

"Stop dawdling, go after her! Tear her clothes off!"

"Hurry up and take it off!"

"..."

Since it is women's combat sports, there are quite a few viewers with different perspectives.

Some of the remarks were intriguing, such as the phrase "famous player," which piqued Shiraki Sei's curiosity.

He stared intently at the ring.

At this moment, the one who had the upper hand was a short-haired woman with pigtails, wearing a sports vest and shorts, with a strong and muscular physique.

Shiraki Sei saw her—on a television report on the street.

Her name is "Ran Tojo," the former Japanese champion in the WWBC super featherweight division!
Career record: 8 wins and 2 losses, one of which was a penalty for fouling that resulted in injury and disqualification. He has been out of the public eye ever since.

For players like Ran Tojo—who have a long history of bad behavior and are no longer able to pursue a "regular career"—there are usually two options.

Either stop here, completely withdraw from the front line, and become a coach or do some other job;
Or, go underground!
Ran Tojo's choice is clearly the latter, and judging from her condition, she seems to be making a seamless transition, preparing to show her skills in the underground fighting arena.

Seeing a "famous player" of this caliber tonight is already worth the price of admission.

Unfortunately, Ran Tojo's "opponent" seemed to be a bit weak, and was defeated one after another, making it unwatchable.

……

……

boom!boom!
After a brief exchange of blows, both Ran Tojo and his opponent took a few steps back, catching their breath and resuming their stances. The referee, who was also the commentator, exclaimed enthusiastically, "Here it comes! The signature stance of the genius boxer—Ran Tojo, the well-known 'Philadelphia Shell'!"

"..."

Shiraki Sho's position was directly facing Tojo Ran, so he could see her very clearly.

The so-called "Philadelphia Shell" defense originates from the Philadelphia boxing school and is the signature move of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather. It emphasizes the coordination of the shoulder and hand, bringing the broad shoulders forward to defend, neutralizing the opponent's heavy punches, and integrating defense and counterattack.

Ran Tojo, as expected of a professional boxer, perfectly utilized her physical advantages.

"I'm determined to win this match..."

Ran Tojo swung her forearm and, as usual, uttered harsh words to her opponent.

"I heard that you used to be the 'champion' of some old underground fighting group, but you were just an 'underground champion'."

"The so-called 'underground fighting' is just a gathering place for useless people who can't make it into the 'professional' scene. I used to be active in the professional scene, you are no match for me."

"Don't worry, I'll kill you soon!"

Swish!
Ran Tojo stepped forward and threw a very fast jab.

Shiraki saw it clearly: although both were "nimble," unlike Wu Fengshui's grappling style, Tojo Ran preferred to strike and retreat quickly.

In conjunction with the shell-style defensive move, Ran Tojo doesn't throw a regular jab, but rather a "flash punch" that starts from below and has a more unpredictable trajectory!
Swish—bang!

Ran Tojo landed another hit on her opponent and followed up with an uppercut to the chest. Her opponent trembled and staggered back a few steps, crouching at the edge of the ring, panting heavily.

"……Um?"

Bai Mucheng suddenly noticed something amiss.

Ran Tojo's punches were clearly not right. Although she was wearing boxing gloves, their power far exceeded that of the Flash Punch itself. She must have secretly added a "hard object" to the gloves.

As expected of a boxer with a long history of bad behavior, he quickly adapted to the "underground style".

In underground fighting, these little tricks are like cheating in gambling. As long as you don't get caught, it doesn't matter. Being able to keep using these little tricks is also a skill.

Unfortunately, this makes it of little reference value to Bai Mucheng.

The feeling of "technology" doesn't suit me!

"..."

Just as Shiraki was about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of Tojo Ran's "opponent"—the girl who was squatting on the ground panting—and his gaze was involuntarily drawn to her.

...Impressive stance!

Although she was at a disadvantage, the girl's stance was clearly more stable than Tojo Ran's, who was trying to outmaneuver her, and she even seemed more "experienced" than Tojo Ran.

Strangely, the girl's steps were unsteady, as if she had lost all her strength and had been hungry for a long time.

This is very wrong.

After all, anyone who can survive in the underground fighting world knows the importance of being well-fed.

Even during the most difficult period for Shiraki Seiji—before his match against Komada of Niou—Shiraki Seiji would always eat a full meal beforehand, because he couldn't play a match on an empty stomach.

Moreover, according to Tojo Ran, that girl was not a novice, so how did she end up not even able to afford food?
"Ora! Prepare to die!"

Ran Tojo slid forward and lunged forward, aiming her lightning punch at the girl's face.

The girl took a deep breath, seemingly intending to meet the attack with her forehead, but her stomach was empty and her energy supply was insufficient, causing her movements to slow down slightly.

boom!
The girl was hit on the bridge of her nose by Ran Tojo, and blood splattered everywhere. The blood from her nose mixed with the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth and dripped onto the ring.

Boom!
Ran Tojo continued her pursuit, striking the girl in the chest with an elbow, sending her flying several steps before she crashed to the edge of the ring, her breathing intermittent.

"Cough...cough..."

The girl fell right in front of Shiramu Cheng, and he could even hear her stomach rumbling; she was clearly starving.

Seeing the girl in such a sorry state, the audience discussed among themselves, all feeling that the outcome of the night was already decided.

The girl heard the audience's words, and her pained expression suddenly froze, as if she was starving and in excruciating pain from being beaten, briefly regaining her senses.

"I'm going to lose... Wait, am I really going to lose?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? I'm Li Youba, the kung fu genius girl..."
