Chapter 23
Inuzuka Claw was skilled in the family's beast-mimicking combat technique, as if he had turned himself into a wild beast. Therefore, Inuzuka Claw's eyes were filled with a beastly glow when he entered combat mode, making ordinary children tremble in fear when they saw him! However, Chiba Atsuko did not react at all. Her eyes were fixed on Inuzuka Claw's every move.
Inuzuka's claw reached Chiba Atsuko in a few moves, and he raised his right claw to attack her fiercely! This was the inuzuka clan's symbol. That's right, they used claws! The members of the Inuzuka clan had to treat their hands in a special way since they were young, so they were very good at using their claws. It was normal for the experts of the clan to tear apart a tree with their bare hands without injuring it at all. Thus, no one from the Kiba clan dared to underestimate the Inuzuka clan's claw attack!
Chiba Atsuko was naturally aware of this matter. During the previous month's course of study, the class teacher would arrange sparring lessons every few days. At that time, Chiba Atsuko had been observing Inuzuka's Claw very carefully! Facing the fierce claw, Chiba Atsuko quickly jumped back a small step...
Whoosh!
Inuzuka Claw's claw missed, and he could not help but frown slightly. He then leaped with both his feet and dove down towards Chiba Atsuko on the ground. However, he did not show any signs of attacking! Was he planning to improvise? Chiba Atsuko raised her head and looked at Inuzuka Claw's actions. She could not help but be slightly stunned. She did not expect her to see through her intentions so quickly.
It turned out that after Inuzuka Claw's attack missed, he noticed Chiba Atsuko's calm expression, as if everything was in his control. Inuzuka Claw knew that Chiba Atsuko must have remembered his combat habits. Since he knew, Inuzuka Claw could only change his combat behavior to win by surprise!
Chiba Atsuko quickly took out a shuriken and threw it!
Inuzuka Claw's gaze turned fierce as his body swayed in the air, avoiding the shuriken's attack trajectory. Like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain, he struck out with both claws at Chiba Atsuko's shoulders! If this grab landed, the victor would be decided!
Chiba Atsuko actually revealed a shocked expression. She clearly did not think that Inuzuka's Claw could dodge Shuriken in the air. When Inuzuka Claw saw Chiba Atsuko's expression, his lips curled into a smile like a hunter who had caught his prey!
Just as everyone thought that the competition was over, Chiba Atsuko suddenly fell forward and supported herself with both hands. He closed his legs and smashed forward with his waist, a very standard scorpion tail swing! His timing was extremely good, and he managed to avoid Inuzuka's claws, while his legs landed heavily on Inuzuka's lower back!
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out. The originally menacing Inuzuka Claw was immediately countered by Chiba Atsuko's little trick, a perfect counterattack with a scorpion tail swing! Inuzuka Claw's lower back was hit hard, and he was sent flying into the air. He landed heavily on the stage and flipped a few times before coming to a stop. His injuries weren't light...
This scene was somewhat similar to the scene of the match between Shuizun and Uchiha Zijie, and Akira Shinobu against Asahi Nonaka. If Chiba Atsuko had learned that counterattack from Shuizun and Akira Shinobu, then it could only prove that Chiba Atsuko's comprehension was amazing!
Chiba Atsuko did not need to use too much strength. Inuzuka Claw's injuries were all caused by herself, and diving in the air could increase her lethality. However, if she was knocked down, Chiba Atsuko would be able to use the force of the dive to increase the damage to Inuzuka Claw. After all, falling on the stage at such a fast speed would definitely cause serious injuries.
Chiba Atsuko saw that Inuzuka Claw had suffered serious injuries after several somersaults in the ring and was instantly shocked. She quickly ran over to help Inuzuka Claw up and said worriedly and self-reproachfully,"" Inuzuga-san, I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry…Are you alright…"
Inuzuka Claw looked at Chiba Atsuko strangely and said,""We haven't announced the end of the competition yet. Aren't you afraid that I'll ambush you now?”Despite saying so, Inuzuka Claw did not take any action.
Hearing this, Chiba Atsuko was stunned. Then, she said weakly,"" I…I saw that you were injured, so I ran over…Then…I…You…" Chiba Atsuko didn't know what to do either. She could only put on an expression of neither letting go nor not letting go.
"Pfft…Haha…Alright, I was teasing you. I didn't expect to lose to a little girl like you. You really know how to play tricks!”Seeing Chiba Atsuko's conflicted expression, Inuzuka Claw couldn't help but laugh out loud. In the end, he even glared at her, clearly unconvinced by her little trick of pretending to be shocked at the end.
" Uh... that... that was something I secretly learned at the last minute..." Chiba Atsuko said awkwardly.
"Hmm? He secretly learned it? Could it be those two competitions?" Inuzuka's Claw was referring to the match between Watergate and Xi Rixin.
" Um…" Chiba Atsuko stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly.
"Chiba Atsuko has advanced to the top five, Inuzuka Claw has been eliminated! " Next group, please enter the arena…" Kasirahi announced calmly. Clearly, there was nothing much to see in this match. It was just that Inuzuka Claw had been careless and lost.
When Chiba Atsuko helped Inuzuka Claw off the stage, she won quite a few cheers. After all, Chiba Atsuko's wit was still worthy of praise.
Watergate pinched Mikoto's nose and smiled.""Other than the eyes, use all your strength! That brat Xi Rixiong would probably become very strong! However, he probably hadn't opened his eyes yet, so there should be no suspense. However, he still had to be careful. The competition just now was a lesson for carelessness!”
In this regard, Meiqin was completely obedient to Watergate's words. No matter what he said, Meiqin only needed to remember it by heart! Meiqin nodded and said firmly,""I will!"
"Meiqin, you can do it! He would fight for his sister's share together!”Xi Rixin reached out and pinched Mei Qin's nose, encouraging her.
" Sister Xin, you're not allowed to pinch my nose. Only Brother Shuimen can pinch it…" Meiqin pouted and raised her pink fist in dissatisfaction. Then, she turned around and walked into the ring.
" This girl..." Xi Rixin smiled helplessly at Meiqin's " stinginess."
Shui Men held Xi Rixin's little hand and squeezed it, smiling,"It's just like how you don't like others pinching your face and can only let me pinch it. This principle is the same.”
" Yes, yes, yes…You only know how to bully us, just…" Xi Rixin blushed and made a face at the water gate.
When Meiqin walked up to the arena, Xi Rixiong also walked up and faced her from afar.
Meiqin broke the silence and said,""I heard from Sister Xin that you have become much stronger in the past month. In that case, please do your best. Otherwise…mm, I won't show any mercy…"
Hearing this, Xi Rixiong was a little embarrassed and said directly,"Then I'll accept it!"
