439: Wang Chen's Little Resentment

Online, discussions about the life-and-death duel were in full swing, with netizens from various countries joining in.

It didn't take long for the grievances between Takizawa Toshiaki and Wang Chen to be dug up by the omniscient netizens from various countries.

Wang Chen had killed Takizawa Hideaki, Takizawa Toshiaki's younger brother, in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Moreover, under the witness of the Heavenly Dao's will, he had completely devoured everything of Takizawa Hideaki.

“Oh my goodness, so there was such a grudge between them?!”

“Something’s not right. This life-and-death duel must have been proposed by Sakura Country. Takizawa Toshiaki wants to avenge his younger brother. Why would Dragon Country agree to such an obvious conspiracy?”

“Wang Chen has unlimited potential in the future, but judging from the live broadcast of the team competition, his combat power is only at a mid-stream level among all participating players. A life-and-death duel at this time is greatly disadvantageous to him!”

“No need to say more. Just give Wang Chen a few more months, and he will definitely be able to easily suppress Takizawa Toshiaki.”

“The person upstairs is right. That’s why the life-and-death duel was proposed now. Takizawa Toshiaki wants to avenge his younger brother, and now is his only chance.”

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand. We can all see it clearly. Dragon Country’s leader is a Rank 8 expert, so he must see it more clearly than us. Why would he agree to such an unreasonable request? Isn’t this harming Wang Chen?”

“Could it be that Wang Chen’s rise infringed upon the interests of certain people?”

The internet was abuzz with countless netizens speculating about Dragon Country's intentions, with many proposing conspiracy theories, believing that Wang Chen had offended Dragon Country's powerful figures and was being abandoned.

However, although this conspiracy theory seemed reasonable, few netizens across the entire network actually believed it.

After all, with the potential Wang Chen is currently demonstrating, even an idiot wouldn't make such a decision.

“Do you think Dragon Country believes Wang Chen has absolute confidence to defeat Takizawa Toshiaki in the life-and-death duel?”

“After all, no matter how you look at it, only this possibility can make Dragon Country’s leader sign this life-and-death duel contract.”

“The person upstairs is right. There is only one explanation, and that is Dragon Country has absolute confidence in Wang Chen’s strength. Perhaps Wang Chen hasn’t used his full strength in the team competition.”

“That’s unlikely, right!”

“I admit that Wang Chen is indeed very strong, but he is still young. Surpassing most of the participants in this year’s Global Prodigy Competition is already incredibly terrifying. If he can defeat Takizawa Toshiaki, he might even have a chance to compete for the title of this year’s Global Number One Prodigy.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Perhaps Dragon Country’s leader just had a moment of madness and agreed to the life-and-death duel proposal in a daze. That’s not impossible either.”

“…”

The internet was abuzz, with countless netizens paying great attention to the life-and-death duel between Wang Chen and Takizawa Toshiaki.

But as the person involved in this incident, Wang Chen merely smiled it off.

He knew without thinking that the internet was so lively because Takizawa Toshiaki and his group must have released the news, which was very consistent with Sakura Country's way of doing things.

“With such a big commotion, when Takizawa Toshiaki dies on the stage, Sakura Country's face will definitely be swollen.”

After taking a shower, Wang Chen only glanced at the heated online debate a few times and then paid no more attention.

The online doubts and speculations were irrelevant to him, just like when he fought Takizawa Hideaki; he simply wanted to kill Takizawa Toshiaki, this Little Mouse who dared to bare his fangs at him, under the watchful eyes of all.

Of course, although these overwhelming comments did not put pressure on him, they did bring him some considerable trouble.

“In the life-and-death duel, Takizawa Toshiaki must die a miserable death.”

Wang Chen, who had always been calm and composed, looked at the call from his Mother on the data terminal and thought with some resentment.

…

…

Long Teng Hotel.

Sakura Country Residence.

“Takizawa-kun, the news of your life-and-death duel with Wang Chen has now spread like wildfire across the entire network. The post I made has already garnered hundreds of millions of clicks in half an hour.”

“This battle, one could say, is globally watched!”

“Takizawa-kun, you must seize this opportunity!”

In the room, a young man with an afro, pale face, and obvious dark circles under his eyes, was surfing the internet while asking for credit from Takizawa Toshiaki next to him.

This person was named Sagawa Yusuke, one of Sakura Country's participants, a Level 175 Ninja.

“Thank you very much, Sagawa-kun. After I kill Wang Chen, I will definitely drink with you until we drop.”

Takizawa Toshiaki smiled and thanked Sagawa Yusuke politely.

“Takizawa-kun, there’s no need to be so polite. If you can kill Wang Chen, it will be of great benefit to our Sakura Country.”

“To be honest, I really didn’t know that Nomura, the leader, could sign a life-and-death duel contract with Dragon Country. Otherwise, I would have definitely fought on your behalf.”

“Wang Chen is the only Genius to have appeared on the Ten Thousand Realms Prodigy Ranking in seven hundred years. Killing him would be a win-win for fame and fortune!”

Sagawa Yusuke waved his hand, signaling Takizawa Toshiaki not to be polite. As he spoke, a look of regret appeared on his face, clearly dissatisfied that there was only one life-and-death duel.

Hearing Sagawa Yusuke's words, Takizawa Toshiaki smiled reservedly and said nothing.

To be honest, when he heard the news from Nomura Shinji that Wang Chen would have a life-and-death duel with him, he almost fainted with happiness.

After all, the strength of the two, just on paper, had a gap of more than forty levels, and a normal person would absolutely not agree.

Takizawa Toshiaki had thought that this time when he met Wang Chen, he would at most humiliate him during the competition and collect some interest.

But he never expected…

“Hideaki, my younger brother, watch from Heaven. Your brother will humiliate Wang Chen in every way possible and then kill him, using his blood to commemorate you.”

Takizawa Toshiaki clenched his fists, his expression incredibly cruel, and killing intent surged from his body.

“Takizawa-kun, rein in your killing intent. I think you should formulate a strategy now.”

Seeing Takizawa Toshiaki getting carried away by himself, Sagawa Yusuke quickly patted his shoulder:

“The strength Wang Chen displayed today is not weak, and his three beast pets are also very powerful. If you have a condescending mindset, you might very well suffer an unexpected defeat.”

Sakura Country ranked eleventh in the team competition, and Sagawa Yusuke had watched Wang Chen's actions throughout, so he was still a little wary of Wang Chen.

In the Secret Realm Dungeon, the combat power of Wang Chen and his three beast pets could all rival that of an ordinary high-level Six-Turn, which Sagawa Yusuke considered a considerable threat based on his own strength.

“Don’t worry, Sagawa-kun!”

Hearing Sagawa Yusuke's words, Takizawa Toshiaki gave a sinister smile and said with extreme confidence:

“Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated!”

“For this day, I have already thoroughly researched Wang Chen. He absolutely has no chance of turning the tables!”
