Instead, they have thicker, more durable muscles and more abundant limb strength.
If I can't beat someone, I can dodge. I'm lighter, so I'm more agile. I can improve my skills with agility and overcome my physical disadvantages. This is not impossible, but it is certainly not something that 'most people can do'.
Otherwise, why would 'Strangler King' Imai Kosaku be called a genius?
His dazzling talent in jujitsu is only one aspect; the real key lies in his ability to turn theoretically possible things into reality.
Yato returned to the bar, took a glass of non-alcoholic mixed lemonade, and said to Himuro Ryo:
"Has your boss decided to participate in the Kengan Zemei tournament?"
"Of course. Although 5 billion is quite expensive, with a fighter like me around, it would be a shame not to give it a try. What if it works?"
Himuro Ryo's calm tone was full of confidence in his own abilities.
Yato quietly opened the system and glanced at his attributes.
It turned out to be the case.
The total attribute points have exceeded ten.
No wonder he's so confident; it turns out his skills have improved.
It seems unlikely that it will turn from 'Hyotei' into 'Ice Arm' again, as in the original work.
"What if it doesn't exist anymore?" Yato scoffed, swatting away the subtitles before him. "With me participating, you still think you can win the championship?"
"Don't think that just because you've gotten a little stronger you can beat me. There's no such absolute rule in the world of combatants."
Himuro Ryo pouted.
"But speaking of which, I heard you're working for a small company now?"
"That can also be considered my property."
"Aren't you going to honestly inherit the family business and want to try going it alone? No wonder you rejected so many offers from big companies. So you were planning to become the chairman yourself?"
"That's up to your imagination."
Yato shrugged.
"Mr. Igarashi!"
Just then, a girl's energetic shout came from behind.
Yato turned his head to look.
"Oh, you've come."
"Sorry, something came up today and I was a little late."
Sakura Hibiki jogged over.
He took a breath, then slapped his hands together and made a sincere apology.
"You actually arranged to meet me here? What are you trying to do...?"
Himuro Ryo looked at him strangely.
"Good evening, Mr. Himuro! I went to the restaurant you recommended last time, and the food was really good. Thank you so much! As for us, we were invited by Akemi to have dinner at her house. Mr. Igarashi didn't know the location, so we arranged to meet here and go together."
Although her skin wasn't as fair as Zhu Mei's, giving her a pampered look, Xiang was still quite pretty, actually above average, and could be described as 'cute'.
Her healthy wheat-colored skin, combined with her radiant smile and cheerful personality, gave her a unique personal charm that Zhu Mei lacked.
"Then we'll be leaving now. You can kill some time here by yourself."
Yato teased him, then grabbed Hibiki and left.
"..."
As the two disappeared through the door, Himuro Ryo's face darkened even more.
"You'll regret it if you prey on young girls."
But compared to this...
This guy is also going to participate in the Kengan tournament, and he'll definitely be a formidable opponent.
Himuro Ryo thought to himself.
In fact, the instant Yato entered...
He thought some powerful enemy had come knocking.
The sense of crisis was magnified to the extreme in an instant, and my whole body felt like I couldn't move.
If there weren't a significant difference in strength, the feeling wouldn't be so intense.
"Tsk, he surpassed me without saying a word and even left me behind... No, there are still two months left, I have to train harder. If my master finds out that a legitimate disciple lost to a trainee, I'll be in big trouble."
……
Since we're going to travel together, why don't we all go together?
Xiang said this.
So, following her instructions...
Yato drove the two of them to Ayaka Uehara's residence.
"Is Mr. Igarashi's family really as wealthy as Akemi's? They can actually afford such an expensive car."
After getting out of the car, Xiang turned around to look at the red sports car in front of him—an Aston Martin—and clicked his tongue in amazement.
“This is my sister’s car. I haven’t gotten my driver’s license yet.”
Yato said casually.
The age limit for taking the driver's license test in Japan is also 18. He hasn't even celebrated his birthday yet this year, so strictly speaking, he's under 18.
"Huh?! You don't have a driver's license?"
"Don't worry, you've seen my driving skills. I'm at least ten years old."
Yato gave a thumbs-up, looking very confident.
He wasn't joking.
Putting aside the fact that he already knows how to drive, this week the 'All-Round Stone' talent refreshed and gave him 'Riding'.
Let alone motor vehicles, it can even ride a rhinoceros.
"No, no, no, this isn't a technical problem...!"
Xiang's face was full of black lines.
Ignoring him completely, Yato went to the entrance of the Uehara family's house and rang the doorbell.
But after more than ten seconds, no one came to open it.
"Strange, nobody's home?"
"what."
He struck the palm of his hand with a resounding crack, and suddenly realized.
"At this time, Ayaka should be at the boxing gym."
"Boxing gym?"
Yato paused, recalling the girl with the bun hairstyle in his memory whose skin was darker than Hibiki's, but who was also slender and had explosive power.
"Speaking of which... I think she did invite me to box."
"Mr. Igarashi, over here, over here."
Xiang had somehow run to the other side and was waving at him.
Yato had no choice but to follow.
"Just call me Yato."
"Is it okay? I'm a little embarrassed; it's the first time I've called someone of the opposite sex by their first name."
Xiang scratched her cheek shyly.
"Speaking of which, the name 'Glory Boxing Gym' seems familiar."
Noticing the large billboard hanging high outside the office building next to the residential building, Yato stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Chapter 134
'Glory Boxing Gym' is a long-established boxing gym with more than ten years of history. The three-story office building has a rather monotonous decoration, which is completely in the style of the 1970s and 1980s.
Let alone business elites, if you take down the signs outside, most people would think this is a factory or warehouse or something similar.
Although it looks dilapidated, Yato dares not underestimate this dojo.
I finally remembered it when I was going upstairs.
Kaguya had shown him a list of Kengan companies, and 'Glorious Boxing Gym' was on it.
Despite its low ranking, the fact that the company is a member of the Kengan Association is enough to demonstrate its standing in the industry.
Before even entering the third floor, one could hear a series of dull, thumping sounds, and the air was thick with the smell of sweat. Pushing open the door, one was immediately hit by a wave of heat.
"Hehehehehehe—!"
Bang, bang bang bang!
A dozen or so boxers were training hard. Some were using boxing techniques to strengthen their muscles, while others were standing in front of a row of punching bags, beating them in a strict and orderly manner, just like soldiers.
The sandbags, weighing over a hundred pounds, were being hit so hard they swayed back and forth, and the chains rattled loudly.
"What are you guys dawdling about! I've emphasized the footwork so many times: advance five steps, retreat quickly! Are you trying to be toyed with like bulls by adjusting your center of gravity so slowly?!"
In this lively atmosphere, an adult woman, seemingly out of place, brandished a bamboo sword and roared at two tall, burly men who were engaged in combat training on the arena. The aura emanating from her was like a raging fire from a comic book, making it impossible for them to muster any will to resist.
Although only two people were yelled at, everyone else felt a jolt and instantly became full of energy, as if the room temperature had risen.
"...Ayaka's older sister is as strict as ever."
"Haha," Hibiki chuckled dryly.
No matter how many times I see this scene, my eyes can't take it anymore.
Instead of dressing up and going shopping or hanging out with friends, this beautiful woman is here in a plain tracksuit, scolding a group of burly men...
"Hmm?" Uehara Nana turned her head when she heard the door open. When she saw that it was a door, her fierce face softened and she smiled warmly.
If I had to describe that attitude, it was like a treasure hunter finding a priceless treasure.
"Sakura-san, you've arrived."
"Um, no one answered the doorbell at the main entrance, so I came here instead. I hope I didn't disturb your training?"
"That's not true at all. No matter how many times you come, Sakura-san, you're always welcome."
As she spoke, Uehara Nana turned to look at Yato, who was observing the surroundings, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"This is...? Sakura-san's boyfriend?"
"no!"
Xiang shouted, her face flushed.
"Hello, I'm Yato Igarashi, let's just say I'm their friend."
Yato introduced himself.
I extended my hand and shook hands with the other person.
"What do you mean by 'for the time being'?"
Xiang was speechless and had nothing to say.
"I am Ayaka's older sister, Uehara Nana."
Uehara Nana has long, wavy brown hair.
She is beautiful, has a mature demeanor, and exudes a strong sense of approachability when not shipping goods, making her the kind of older sister figure that naive young men would love.
"Oh right, you're here to see Ayaka, right? She just finished her part-time job for today and went downstairs to take a shower. She'll be here soon."
