Eddie Cai's eyes flickered a few times. "Hana Chou-Ohgi!"
With a wave of his right hand, a Qi-infused fan spun out, hitting the Koouken with its high-speed rotation. The collision of the two Qi energies dissipated into nothingness.
"Hien Shippu Kyaku!" Ryo Sakazaki flew up without any assistance, covering a distance of six meters before kicking straight toward him.
Eddie Cai's pupils widened rapidly, predicting the opponent's attack trajectory. This flying kick carried powerful Qi energy and could break through anything if it struck his weak points. A rash attack would be shaken off by the Qi, leaving his Guard open—in other words, countered!
"Is this the fighting style of a Fighter? A style where Qi is primary and techniques are secondary?" Eddie Cai suddenly understood. Sure enough, only after learning Qi could one grasp the principles involved.
If an outsider were watching, they would surely think that kicking the opponent somewhere else as they flew over would result in a Counter.
However, the reality was the opposite: those spots were traps of feints and substance. If he didn't attack, he might be fine. But if he stubbornly attacked, a Fighter's reaction time would certainly allow them to instantly use Qi to rebound the force.
Eddie Cai, however, roused his Qi and struck Ryo Sakazaki's abdomen with a Straight Punch.
"Oh no!" Joan exclaimed. This was clearly a trap!
Ryo Sakazaki's eyes also lit up. "Brat, you actually fell for it!"
Chapter 667: Facing Ryo Sakazaki
However, the reality was different. Eddie Cai's punch, infused with powerful Qi, broke through Ryo Sakazaki's Qi defense, and he himself was also bounced away.
Both sides retreated slightly. Ryo Sakazaki, still falling through the air, stumbled back a few steps before stabilizing. He was inwardly astonished: this guy actually broke through his Qi defense?
But the stronger his opponent was, the more excited Ryo Sakazaki became. Kyokugenryu was a style that constantly broke through self-imposed limits! "Well struck! Again! Take this, Kyokugen Ryūko Ranbu!"
A flash of white light appeared, seemingly Qi energy circulating along a specific path. The resulting burst of energy allowed Ryo Sakazaki to cover ten meters in one second, punching like lightning, combining strikes and kicks in an attack as swift as thunder.
Eddie Cai's expression gradually grew serious. Under extreme conditions, his speed suddenly increased, and he retaliated using the Rapid Wing Chun style favored by Master Ye.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Both sides' fists were incredibly solid, engaging in a head-on clash. Bursts of sonic booms erupted, as if the air itself was splitting open from the impact!
Ryo Sakazaki's eyes slowly filled with disbelief. His opponent could actually withstand his Finishing Move? This was completely unscientific!
Seriously, when Eddie Cai got serious, he was someone who could catch bullets. His physique, enhanced by the virus, wasn't just about great strength and recovery; even his dynamic vision had become incredibly clear.
Handling this rapid combination of punches and kicks was not too difficult, and he could even occasionally counterattack.
A total of 136 punches were thrown, and Eddie Cai took them all. Within just five seconds, the number of exchanges between the two seemed like an illusion, so fast that it left people bewildered.
"What fast fists! Your husband has some real skill!" Joan was slightly surprised. She came from a Muay Thai background, and although she preferred kicking techniques, she still had some authority when it came to punching mastery.
"Of course, my husband is very capable," Mai Shiranui laughed. She was a very devoted woman; if she was a wife, she was definitely a good wife. Furthermore, her heart was completely set on her man now, leaving the task of reviving the fighting style to her husband while she stayed home raising children and occasionally exercising.
Joan rolled her eyes slightly. She could smell the sour stench of romance wafting through the air. Were they showing off their affection? That was too much!
The two combatants in the ring remained locked in a fierce, back-and-forth struggle.
Ryo Sakazaki felt he had found a good opponent, while Eddie Cai was busy learning his opponent's moves.
Countering move by move, his brain was operating at full speed.
Every move had a unique method of Qi circulation. The so-called Finishing Move was when Qi was circulated, and the body, driven by the Qi, performed various incredible rapid movements that ordinary people couldn't follow.
Furthermore, this Finishing Move could not be stopped; it only lasted until the Qi circulation for the move was complete.
If one could dodge when the opponent was executing the Finishing Move, they could easily counterattack and defeat them, as the opponent was almost defenseless at that moment.
However, the flow of Qi was invisible, so Eddie Cai could only simulate some superficial moves; his main goal was to understand the techniques of Kyokugenryu fighting style.
The two fought for half an hour. Eddie Cai was only slightly winded and still had reserves of strength. Ryo Sakazaki, however, was drenched in sweat, thinking, "Is this guy a monster? Doesn't he get tired?"
The limits of the human body? Sorry, Eddie Cai had long since surpassed the human limit. If he weren't unfamiliar with the rules of power, he probably would have defeated his opponent already.
What he lacked now was learning time. Leading too far ahead on the starting line—that was the advantage!
After another half hour, Ryo Sakazaki was dragged to exhaustion by Eddie Cai, who utilized his abundant stamina.
Bang! Grabbing Ryo Sakazaki's weakened fist, Eddie Cai raised his own fist and delivered a punch that nearly knocked the opponent unconscious.
"I won, you lost. Don't forget your wager!" Eddie Cai didn't kill him, nor did he need to. On the contrary, he had to thank his opponent; if it hadn't been for this simpleton, he wouldn't have been able to learn so much.
Sitting cross-legged, Eddie Cai began to contemplate the fighting experience he just had, savoring and absorbing the techniques he had grasped.
Joan looked puzzled. "It seems he won, but your husband really has, well, beast-like stamina. You better be careful!"
Faced with her best friend's teasing, Mai Shiranui's pretty face flashed with a hint of pride. "Of course my man is amazing. Let's go, I'll make dinner. You get to taste my cooking today!"
After a long time, Ryo Sakazaki, having recovered, also sat down to meditate. "Hey, what's your name? You've got skills!"
A loss was a loss, but it was a respectable one; the opponent had merely dragged the fight out until his stamina was depleted.
"Eddie Cai, Mai Shiranui's husband," Eddie Cai said flatly. "I'm meditating. We can talk later."
This left Ryo Sakazaki speechless for his follow-up comments. It was a bit boastful, but it wasn't a big deal.
In Kyoto, Alex had already used the modified Veronica Virus to control some people into becoming her subordinates. She was working hard to expand her business, and the newly developed cell phones were snapped up immediately upon launch.
At the same time, Alyssa and her daughter returned to their old professions, one as a reporter and the other as a host, starting product promotion.
In this era lacking promotional methods, the mother and daughter were absolutely thriving. Their beautiful looks, slender figures, and calm, elegant demeanor instantly made them national goddesses.
Ada's daughter, Jordana, began covering songs, turning popular songs from the previous world into her own patents, and then started performing them on television. Now she could even hold a concert.
The popular songs, sung in different languages, made it impossible for imitators to copy them, which was the most frustrating part.
Following trends to kill the original? If the competition couldn't follow, then the original couldn't be killed!
New world, new beginning. Everyone was busy, yet their busy lives were fulfilling. They had moved past some low-level interests, so they weren't troubled by certain issues.
Business decisions were handled by Excella. She served as the CEO, using her intelligence and talent to manage the company and generate financial profit.
As the boss, Alex needed to leverage the charismatic personality that even the old fox Spencer praised, making more followers devoted to her cause!
Chapter 668: How to Cure Polio
With the help of his wives, Eddie Cai didn't need to worry about striving for success at all. Making money was a job best left to professionals; he wasn't interested in making money, only in how to spend it.
You never know a person until you fight them. After the match, Ryo Sakazaki's attitude towards Eddie Cai improved significantly. At least this guy was a capable person, someone who could defeat him. Regardless of the method of defeat, he had lost, and there was no doubt about that.
"Eddie, how did you forge a body of steel and iron?" Ryo Sakazaki was curious. He had clearly seen Eddie Cai's hands split and bleed, yet they healed in the blink of an eye.
"Fast metabolism. You can achieve rapid healing too." Eddie Cai dropped this sentence and returned to the bar.
By this time, Mai Shiranui had prepared a simple meal. Even without extravagant dishes, Mai Shiranui's cooking made the food appetizing.
"I'm going to dig in, Wife! Your cooking is delicious!" Eddie Cai began devouring the food like a whirlwind, finishing one bowl of rice in just three seconds.
