Fighting Spirit Defense, also known as Blue Guard, is a special defensive function newly added in the Street Fighter 6 system.
In theory, as long as you have enough fighting spirit, whether it’s an ordinary punch or a world-destroying ultimate move, you can block it without taking any damage.
When everyone thought that the various fighting techniques inherited from Mo Wang in Street Fighter 6 were the greatest gains, in reality, this thing was the most overpowered move of all.
“Inch-Punch: Heaven Opener!”
As Fu Hua’s strike landed on Mo Wang, the ground behind him immediately revealed a shocking crater.
Seeing this scene, the Valkyries all stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly.
Many of them had dropped the melon seeds in their hands to the ground without even realizing it.
“Senior, don’t you think that move of yours is a bit too much?” Mo Wang, who had deactivated his Blue Guard, turned to look at the ground.
Even though he knew he wouldn’t be hurt, he couldn’t help but wipe a bead of sweat from his forehead upon seeing this.
If he had been hit by that without any defense, he’d probably be bent into the shape of a bow by now.
“Huff…
huff, if I hadn’t used that move, I probably wouldn’t have been able to end the battle quickly, right?” Fu Hua couldn’t help but laugh.
Looking at Mo Wang’s completely unharmed state, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
Without using her trump cards, Inch-Punch: Heaven Opener was basically her strongest move.
Yet this guy Mo Wang had actually blocked it without taking any damage.
Although Fu Hua had anticipated that Mo Wang could block this move, the fact that he blocked her strongest technique so effortlessly still gave her the feeling of “the waves behind drive the waves ahead, and the front waves die on the shore.”
“I admi—”
“Ahh, I’m out of strength, completely out of strength.
Sure enough, this body of mine is still far inferior to a Valkyrie’s.”
Just as Fu Hua was about to admit defeat, Mo Wang unexpectedly sat down on the ground first.
The expression on his face instantly changed from the energetic look he had just moments ago to that of a college student who had just run a thousand meters.
The kind that looked like he was about to die at any moment.
“I’m done, I’m done.
Let’s just count this as my loss.
Sure enough, Senior is Senior.” Mo Wang struggled to raise his thumb toward Fu Hua, leaving her completely bewildered.
He was perfectly fine just a moment ago—how did he suddenly collapse to the ground like this?
All one could say was that Mo Wang’s acting this time was truly convincing.
If this were the outside world, it would easily be worthy of an Oscar gold statuette.
As for admitting defeat, Mo Wang had always adhered to the strategy that as long as he admitted defeat fast enough, others’ admissions of defeat could never catch up to him.
From the very beginning, he hadn’t come to beat Fu Hua.
What benefit was there in defeating Fu Hua?
For Mo Wang, there was definitely none.
Beating Kiana was completely fine, after all, in the eyes of the many Valkyries, no matter how capable she was in combat, she was still just a poor student.
Even if he won, not many people would care. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
But Fu Hua was different!
First, Fu Hua was an idol-level existence at the academy, with extremely high popularity among both boys and girls.
If he won, he estimated that a large group of people would be displeased with him.
He had just become the captain and hadn’t even established his foundation yet—doing something like that would be pure suicide.
Second, although Fu Hua appeared to be an A-rank Valkyrie on the surface, she was actually Otto’s double agent, the legendary Red-Crowned Crane Immortal, and a formidable figure in the top 5 of Honkai combat power.
Even if he only barely defeated a Fu Hua who was holding back, a bunch of people, including Otto, would probably put him on their key surveillance list.
Mo Wang would have to be crazy to do something so thankless.
And to be honest, although he had quite a few trump cards, aside from that nuclear bomb-like thing inside his body, his other trump cards probably weren’t as solid as hers.
Losing was actually quite normal.
And this time, although it seemed like he lost, he actually won.
Not only did he get a solid understanding of where his fighting skills currently stood, but he also gained prestige through the Senior.
From now on, he could say that he was someone who could go fifty-fifty with the Red-Crowned Crane Immortal.
He had instantly jumped from the bottom of the Honkai combat power rankings to the top 10.
In simple terms, if he won, not only would he no longer be able to play the fool, but he’d also be watched by a bunch of formidable people.
If he lost, he could continue to lie low and develop quietly.
Meanwhile, the Senior was still confused, looking like she had no idea what was going on.
She had no idea that she had been completely used by Mo Wang.
“Mo Wang!
Are you okay?!”
At that moment, seeing that the battle had ended, the three little ones were the first to react and ran over toward Mo Wang.
Seeing Mo Wang lying on the ground looking weak, Mei quickly helped him up together with Kiana.
“Yo, old Qi, Mei, and Bronya, you guys came too?
Did you see that?
I just went fifty-fifty with the Senior.” Seeing Kiana and the others approaching, Mo Wang revealed a smug expression and showed off to the three little ones.
“Are you an idiot!
Why didn’t you dodge that move just now?!” Kiana, however, didn’t care at all about how impressive Mo Wang’s performance was.
Instead, she started scolding him.
When she had seen the power of Fu Hua’s move just now, Kiana felt her heart leap into her throat.
“That’s right, Mo Wang.
No matter how confident you are in yourself, you need to know your limits.
Look at you, you’re injured so badly now.” Even Mei started to lecture Mo Wang, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
He was thinking, should he tell them that he was just faking it right now?
But he estimated that Mei would believe him even less.
“Bronya seriously suspects that Mo Wang has been around Kiana for too long, to the point that his brain has started to evolve into a paramecium.” Bronya, meanwhile, was even more sharp-tongued toward Mo Wang.
However, from the fact that she had Project Bunny perform an emergency check on Mo Wang at this moment, it was clear that this girl was just sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.
“This guy is in this state, we should probably send him to the infirmary first.” Kiana glanced at Mo Wang a few times, seeing that his pale complexion hadn’t improved at all, and quickly said to the two beside her.
I’m fine!
I don’t want to go to the infirmary!” Hearing this, Mo Wang immediately struggled.
However, at this moment, Mei’s hand directly and firmly grabbed Mo Wang’s arm.
“Mo Wang, be good.” Mei said to Mo Wang with a face full of ‘kindness,’ but the strength in her hand was by no means small.
“Hey, Mei, Mei-sister, can you let go first?
It hurts, you know.” Mo Wang’s expression stiffened.
Just now, when Fu Hua hit him, it didn’t hurt this much.
Why did it feel like he was being pinned down by a mechanical arm now?
However, unfortunately, an angry Mei’s combat power would directly increase.
In this state, Mei could basically rank in the top three of Honkai combat power at present.
With Mo Wang’s current body, which hadn’t activated Enhancement Magic, he simply couldn’t resist Mei.
And so, Mo Wang was directly dragged into the infirmary by the Lightning Queen Mei, unable to resist.
“Clap clap clap clap!”
And after Mo Wang left, the Valkyries who had been watching finally began to applaud.
“Who would’ve thought Mo Wang could fight like that?”
“Could it be that he was deliberately pretending to be weak all this time?”
“You guys still think Mo Wang is weak?
He defeated Kiana before, and he single-handedly rescued Sister Fu Hua and Teacher Himeko.”
“I see, no wonder the Overseer made him the captain of the Hyperion!”
“It seems that before, he just wanted to slack off, so he didn’t plan on showing his strength.
Now that he’s become the captain, he’s no longer hiding himself!”
“So this is the new captain of the Hyperion, Mo Wang?”
Just as Mo Wang had anticipated, the rumors about him today quickly spread throughout all of St.
Freya through the mouths of these Valkyries, greatly boosting his reputation, and they even made up a bunch of strange stories about him along the way.
Of course, that’s a story for later.
PS: Still a failure…
whatever day it is.
I never thought this author, wise as he is, would be deceived by a cyber immortal.
I saw on Bilibili that lostlife 2.0 had come out, and after spending a full two hours searching the entire internet, I still couldn’t find the resource.
Damn it, I’ll never believe in love again!
