Sasuke Uchiha thought no further. Whether he won or lost, he had to keep fighting.
That was his pride as a member of the Uchiha Clan!
Lin Mu's taijutsu is powerful, and most of his ninjutsu focuses on strengthening his body, complementing his taijutsu...
Then I still have a chance!
The Sharingan lets me see the path of every move he makes and look for an opening.
As long as I catch one opening, I'll win!
Fighting spirit blazed in Sasuke's blood-red Sharingan. He was both a genius and a formidable fighter.
Facing someone as powerful as Lin Mu was exactly what he wanted.
"Ready? Here I come!"
Lin Mu spoke calmly. Chakra surged through his body, and his muscles tensed tight.
Whoosh!
With a rush of wind, his body shot forward like a cannonball.
"Hah!"
He threw another heavy punch, exactly like the last, without the slightest flourish.
Sasuke's Sharingan widened. He could clearly see the trajectory of Lin Mu's fist.
The same move won't work on me again...
Sasuke murmured inwardly. He abruptly stepped back, flipped over onto his hands, and stomped a foot down toward Lin Mu's fist.
Thud!
A dull impact rang out. This time, they were evenly matched.
"Not bad..."
A smile curved Lin Mu's lips. Sasuke's taijutsu skills were solid, as expected of someone from a distinguished clan.
He did not linger. When his punch failed to land, he sharply stepped back.
Having put some distance between himself and Sasuke, he spun backward and swung his right leg out.
"Leaf Steel Strength Whirlwind!"
The sweeping kick came with ferocious force, carrying pressure like a whirlwind.
Leaf Steel Strength Whirlwind: a taijutsu move used in conjunction with the Eight Gates, delivering a reverse spinning kick with astonishing speed and power.
The kick was so powerful
