The match between Jaden and Gensai Kuroki was over.
But even after the match concluded, the audience remained silent, savoring the battle they had just witnessed-some even felt a sense of satisfaction, and a portion of them seemed to have lost interest in the next match between Takeshi Wakatsuki and Julius Reinhold.
This was because some of them felt that they had already witnessed the peak battle of this Kengan Annihilation Tournament.
Furthermore...
Not only was Takeshi Wakatsuki defeated by Jaden, but that Julius... he couldn't possibly be Jaden's opponent either.
Wasn't the champion of this tournament already determined to be Jaden?
What was the point of watching anything else?
This was the way the audience felt, and actually, Sayaka Katahara felt the same way.
She also felt that even the final match was unlikely to be as exciting as the one just fought between Jaden and Gensai Kuroki.
But she was the host, so at this moment, she not only had to hide her feelings but also needed to invigorate the emotions of the other spectators.
So, while the arena was being cleaned, she led a team of service staff, wearing various animal ear and tail decorations, onto the empty ground.
While these people danced, Sayaka Katahara took the microphone and began to warm up the audience for the next match.
"Everyone-you've just watched a spectacular match, but I want to say that the upcoming match actually has some things in common with the previous one."
Sayaka Katahara said this.
"The last match featured Jaden, who potentially possesses the greatest talent in Kengan Association history, against the veteran fighter, Gensai Kuroki, who holds a significant reputation in the underground world-in other words, a Talent versus a Trained Practitioner."
"And the next match is the same!"
Following Sayaka Katahara's voice, the projectors at the top of the arena displayed images of Takeshi Wakatsuki and Julius Reinhold on opposite sides of the stage.
"Everyone is certainly familiar with the legendary fighter, the Wild Tiger, Takeshi Wakatsuki, who also holds the record for the most victories in the history of the Kengan Association!"
"And you must also know that, just like Jaden, the Wild Tiger, Takeshi Wakatsuki, is a Talent who defies imagination-a Superman born with 52 times the muscle density of an ordinary person!"
"But the Tiger's opponent this time, Julius, is not a Talent-his strength, hailed as the strongest in the world, was cultivated bit by bit through science and technology!"
"The suffering involved in this process is unimaginable. Mr. Julius must have been close to death several times, and perhaps others like him died mid-experiment-but Mr. Julius succeeded! He exchanged countless amounts of pain and a price we cannot fully comprehend for this body of the world's strongest muscle!"
"So this match is also the same-a Talent versus a Trained Practitioner, or perhaps, a Seeker of the Path!"
Saying this, Sayaka Katahara raised her hand high.
"Now-we invite the fighters to enter the arena!"
Following her voice, flames erupted instantly from the four corners of the arena.
The flashing lights, the scorching temperature, coupled with Sayaka Katahara's attire and voice.
All these elements were provoking the emotions of the spectators.
And they roared with cheers once again!
The atmosphere was hyped up again!
"This woman is truly amazing."
Jun Sekibayashi watched the change in the arena's atmosphere and couldn't help but sigh.
As a professional wrestler, he truly enjoyed this lively atmosphere in the arena.
"And she has a nice figure too..."
Sitting beside him was the only fighter in this tournament who surrendered-that was Muteba Gizenga, the King of Mercenaries!
He had immediately surrendered after being struck in the arm by Takeshi Wakatsuki's Blast Core.
After all, he was a mercenary... Mercenaries pursue survival, not victory.
"But compared to all that, I'm more interested in the upcoming match."
Gaolang Wongsawat was eliminated by Julius.
So, he was very clear about what kind of person that seemingly clumsy and foolish big guy truly was.
Moreover...
Gaolang's gaze swept to the side. At the very front row of the audience seats was Jaden.
"I've watched almost all the matches, but this is only the second time I've seen this guy come to watch a match..."
Hearing Gaolang say this, the other fighters also gathered around.
Indeed.
They would more or less watch other fighters' matches to gather information on them.
But Jaden...
- After the first day's matches, this guy never came back to watch any more matches!
And on the first day, many fighters wouldn't use their full arsenal, simply winning easily. Jaden's attitude seemed to suggest that, for him, a glance at the other fighters was enough.
At first, they all felt Jaden was a bit arrogant.
But now, he had made it to the finals, and all of them were eliminated-thinking this way, they no longer felt Jaden was arrogant.
After all, losers were not qualified to call winners arrogant.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Jaden frowned, seeing the other fighters gathering around.
"Isn't this the best location... And since you haven't come to watch the other matches, we're naturally curious about your sudden appearance."
"I see... I mainly came to look at my next opponent."
Ryo Himuro was relatively familiar with Jaden, so he took the initiative to greet him.
After Jaden understood the situation, his gaze naturally fell on the cast on Ryo Himuro's hand, and he raised an eyebrow.
"Himuro, I saw this injury on the first day, but I'm actually still curious about who managed to hit you like this."
Hearing Jaden say this, Suekichi Kaneda felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
- Was Jaden going to avenge Himuro?
Hiss, they seemed to be on good terms, is he really going to avenge his friend!
Although he genuinely wanted to challenge the strong as a weakling, the gap between him and Jaden was still too great!
Himuro thought the same, feeling a little touched.
"Jaden, these are minor injuries, and they were sustained fairly in a match, so don't worry about it."
"No..."
Jaden realized Himuro misunderstood and quickly explained.
"I mainly heard from Shion that Setsuna Kiryu, who was knocked unconscious, spent a week and his injuries were healed enough for him to walk around... But your hand hasn't gotten better after a week, so I'm a bit curious about who could have inflicted such a severe injury on you..."
Pfft!
Hearing Jaden say this, Suekichi Kaneda couldn't hold back and laughed.
The other fighters also looked perplexed.
Come to think of it, that's true!
Jun Sekibayashi lost to Muteba, who struck him with a Heart Jab, and his injuries elsewhere were also severe, but he had already removed his bandages to watch the match.
Gaolang's fist was even shattered by Julius.
Yet, he had also removed his cast now.
Ohma Tokita and Agito Kanoh, who planned to resign after watching the tournament, were both beaten bloody all over, but they looked mostly recovered now.
Raian Kure needs no mention.
Even Rei Mikazuchi... aside from his hair not having grown back, he had removed his bandages!
And Himuro...
Many people actually knew him, and now they were also curious about what severe injury could cause Himuro to wear a cast on his hand from the first day of the tournament until now!?
How was this injury sustained?
Ah, this...
Ryo Himuro also felt the gazes of the others. He hesitated for a moment, and ultimately felt too embarrassed to admit that his hand was only a minor fracture.
He just coughed a few times and spoke loudly to divert everyone's attention.
"Ah! Look, Takeshi Wakatsuki and Julius have entered the arena! The match is about to start, let's watch the match!"
Seeing Himuro's reaction, the other fighters, including Jaden, stopped asking.
However, they were still very curious about Ryo Himuro's injury.
They even secretly speculated that perhaps Himuro's hand... might be gone under the cast!
And Ryo Himuro himself probably never expected that, due to his momentary concern for face, he was secretly given a nickname by these fighters, who were arguably in the first tier of the Kengan Association.
