On the square above, thousands of American soldiers sat in the central area, watching the fight.
Just a moment ago, Kyle and Steve were locked in silence, but in the next moment, both men lunged at each other with explosive force.
From a third party's perspective, in the blink of an eye, they were already engaged in intense hand-to-hand combat.
"Be careful."
As if realizing he couldn't let Kyle take the initiative, Steve initiated the pressure.
As soon as he got close to the attack range, and with a well-timed left hand, he lashed out at Kyle's face like a whip.
'Brother, don't hit someone in the face!'
Kyle held back his comment, his reaction was quick as he lifted his right arm that wasn't wearing a gauntlet and blocked it.
"Bang!"
Seeing that his attack didn't work, Steve bent his left leg back and pulled up his knee, raising it in a sharp angle.
He didn't want to give Kyle any chance to recover. He wanted to use high-intensity attacks to crush his opponent.
Kyle, seemingly anticipating this, raises his left leg and launches a counter attack, kicking Steve's leg as it propels forward, causing his knee to narrowly miss striking his stomach.
"Hmm?" Steve furrows his brow, surprised to find himself so quickly at a disadvantage due to the disparity in experience. Gritting his teeth, he presses forward, continuing to initiate attacks and engage Kyle in close combat.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Despite the seemingly simple exchange of punches and kicks, the air is filled with the powerful sound of explosive pressure!
"Should I say that they are indeed super soldiers..."
"They are so strong. They can kill ordinary people with one punch."
"Ugh, can the rest of you move back? I'm feeling a bit panicked."
The soldiers are left agape, the ones sitting closest to the action swallowing nervously as they subconsciously scoot further away, fearing that the fight between the two would affect them.
Kyle once again blocks the punch, managing to do so with ease. But relying solely on defense, he gradually begins to struggle under the relentless pressure of Steve's attacks. This fills Steve with a sense of satisfaction, feeling that his insistence on attacking was the right choice. But as the two graze past each other during one exchange, Steve suddenly sees a hint of a cold smile on Kyle's face.
'He was actually smiling.'
Steve breaks out in a cold sweat, but at this point, with the two locked in close combat, it's impossible for either of them to stop their attacks. They'll just have to see it through to the end.
"You've finally realized, have you?" Kyle maintains his smile as he speaks.
Steve knows him well and understands that Kyle's offensive abilities far outstrip his defensive abilities. That's why he's been trying so hard to strengthen his own attacks, not wanting to give Kyle the chance to initiate them.
"It's too bad, you don't understand that by doing so, you've given up your natural defensive advantage." Kyle shakes his head lightly as his defensive stance suddenly changes, his posture becoming more aggressive as he transforms himself into the attacker - counter-fighting, endurance fighting, military physical striking, grappling.
With a dozen or so different combat techniques smoothly transitioning between them, Kyle puts on an all-out attack!
Steve's face contorts in shock, Kyle's combat skill is changing too fast. He tries to switch from offense to defense, but a flurry of punches and kicks beat him to the punch, leaving him unable to mount a counterattack or defend himself.
"Let me teach you what offense is!" Kyle smiled coldly and firmly suppressed Steve. With a slight gust of wind, his fists landed on Steve's flesh, not giving him any room to resist. Steve manages a bitter smile as he is forced to cower, protecting his face with his hands as he's beaten one-sidedly like a punching bag.
"What, what the hell is going on?"
"Lieutenant Kyle was suppressed at first, but in the blink of an eye, Captain Steve is hanging up and beating him up?"
"I don't understand either..."
The American soldiers watching let out a bewildered murmur as they gaze at the dramatic scene unfolding in the center of the ring.
"You little rabbit brats, not putting in effort to learn combat techniques every day." A voice rang out from among the soldiers, and some of them turn to see that Joseph, the captain, dressed in an officer's uniform had joined the crowd.
As Joseph watches the fight between the two men, he says, "Steve's combat skills, compared to Kyle, are far too inferior -- if Steve's combat skills were to amount to five, Kyle's combat skills have already surpassed fifteen."
At this point, Joseph couldn't help but admiringly sigh, "This kid is truly a monster among monsters!"
"Take this!"
In the center of the ring, Kyle unleashes a powerful straight punch, striking Steve cleanly in the stomach, sending him flying.
Steve groaned in pain as the shield on his back slid across the ground, coming to a stop among the crowd of onlooking soldiers.
"Admit defeat, Steve," Kyle panted coldly.
"There is still a clear gap between us. If you were an enemy, you would have been dead within fifty rounds." He looked straight at Steve, who was lying on the ground.
If their physical abilities alone were taken into consideration, they were evenly matched. But even if deadly combat methods couldn't be used, Kyle's strength still overwhelmed Steve.
As Joseph had said, the difference in their combat skills was too great! Steve knew the combat skills, Kyle knew too. But the combat skills Kyle knew, Steve might not know.
Of course, this was not surprising for Steve, Even if he had the ability to learn quickly, he still needed to spend a lot of energy to learn and master them, and add the experience of actual combat.
But Kyle was different. He could simply read a card and learn a new skill without much effort. It was a bit like in online games, when a player with limited privileges meets a player with cheats.
"I haven't... yet," Steve struggled to get up from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and said determinedly: "I haven't given up yet, I can still fight for another day like this!"
"Suit yourself," Kyle shrugged, and was about to continue his attack, but Steve's next move made him show a slight surprised expression.
Steve put the Shield his left hand.
"That's more like it, otherwise it would be too boring," Kyle smiled, and suddenly accelerated to launch a surprise attack.
Steve didn't hesitate this time, he looked at Kyle who was charging and calmly raised his shield. Suddenly, he swung his left hand forward with all his might, the shield flew out of his hand - he was using the shield as a ranged throwing weapon!
Kyle's pupils contracted as he looked at the shield that was rushing towards him, quickly raising his right fist to collide with it, managing to block the attack. But with a crunching sound, the shield, like a boomerang, returned to the direction of the throw.
"This shield … not good!" Kyle realized something and tried to retreat. But it was too late, Steve had already launched a sneak attack and was above him, catching the shield that had flown back and hitting it downwards with the shield.
Kyle had no choice but to use his elbow to hit the shield in a hurry, but as soon as his elbow touched the shield, the force of the elbow strike was absorbed cleanly.
At the same time, Steve's shield strike continued to fall strongly, pressing Kyle's body down instantly, forcing him to kneel on one knee to support himself, even the compacted mud was sunken in obvious pits.
This was the first time Kyle had faced the characteristics of Captain America's Shield and he was badly defeated.
The alloy composition of this shield apparently completely absorbed the kinetic energy!
Any attack that hit the shield surface was forced to miss!
