113: Chapter 113 The Mighty Natsukawa Teruichi!

Hearing this voice...

Li Fan had no choice but to set aside the matter of the cultivation technique for now.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and then put on his virtual helmet.

Just like last time.

After clicking to accept Gu Dan's invitation,

Li Fan arrived inside the stadium where yesterday's exhibition match took place.

At this moment,

Gu Dan, Di Yun, Liu Ling, and the others were already waiting there.

Although they didn't need to compete today, they still had to fulfill their duties as the cheerleading squad.

Of course,

their main goal was to watch Li Fan and Fang Qing beat down those two lapdogs from Sakura Country and see the frustrated expressions of the Western Faction.

Shifting his gaze to the opposite side,

the expressions of everyone in the Western Faction were indeed very unsightly.

Clearly, yesterday's defeat had subjected them to quite a lot of negative verbal attacks.

Of course, Natsukawa Kiichi, the other Japanese contestant, and the local USA native who successfully fought into the top eight probably didn't suffer as much.

It wasn't hard to guess from the high-spirited and determined expressions of the three.

The USA side had definitely given the three of them praise and even a boost of motivation.

Compared to yesterday,

the venue had also undergone changes.

The original eight arenas had been reduced to three.

According to the rules,

shortly, the three from the Western Faction would take turns drawing opponents from the five from Great Xia.

If all three from the Western Faction lost after the first round, the results could be announced immediately without fighting to the end.

If someone from the Western Faction was still standing after the first round, they would need to continue drawing from the remaining people of Great Xia until they defeated everyone in the Great Xia camp.

Very soon,

after Gu Dan exchanged a few brief words with the officer from the Western Faction, the competition officially began.

Unfortunately,

Li Fan was given a bye in the first round.

Those drawn were Fang Qing, Tang Hua, and another companion with Transcendent Rank combat power.

Among the battles of the three pairs, only one was actually worth paying attention to.

That was the fight between Fang Qing and Natsukawa Kiichi.

The other two were cases of Quasi-Saints versus Transcendents; the results could be guessed without even thinking.

"Go for it, Senior Fang Qing!"

"Senior Fang Qing, kill him!"

"Senior Fang Qing, show this Japanese guy how powerful we are!"

...

Before they even stepped onto the stage,

the Great Xia camp was already boiling with excitement, the cheers never-ending.

Fang Qing was ignited by the atmosphere, his emotions soaring at this moment.

With a leap, he landed directly onto the arena stage.

Hearing the cheers from the Great Xia camp,

everyone on the Western side had solemn expressions.

They also wanted to cheer and encourage Natsukawa Kiichi, but they had been traumatized by Great Xia yesterday.

It was truly difficult for them to believe that Natsukawa Kiichi would win.

However, very quickly,

Natsukawa Kiichi proved himself.

On the arena stage,

Fang Qing used his full strength, and terrifying vines swept across the entire stage. Each vine was enough to easily crush a top-tier Transcendent, like someone of Li Cang's level.

The combined attack power was even firmly approaching that of a Middle-grade Quasi-Saint, which could be described as very impressive.

However,

even with such a terrifying offensive, under Natsukawa Kiichi's bizarre movement techniques and overbearing sword techniques, he was still being suppressed and forced back step by step.

This scene

instantly caused the high-spirited atmosphere of the Great Xia camp to freeze.

"This guy!"

"So strong!"

"Damn it! If this continues, Senior Fang Qing might..."

Although everyone from Great Xia loathed Natsukawa Kiichi, they had to admit the terrifying strength he displayed.

On the other side,

seeing this, the gloomy atmosphere of the Western Faction suddenly lifted.

That bearded officer even took the lead in shouting, "Nice! Just like that! Natsukawa, crush him!"

The USA crowd behind him and the Western elites watching the live stream couldn't help but roar in excitement.

"Fuck! Fuck! We're finally going to win!"

"What powerful sword techniques!"

"Too strong! Once that Great Xia genius is approached, it means it's over!"

"Natsukawa Kiichi is too strong! He is fully capable of winning victory for us!"

"I didn't expect we'd have to rely on an Easterner to defeat an Easterner for us! But it's fine, as long as we can beat Great Xia!"

...

The Western crowd, who had been holding their breath, finally found a chance to breathe at this moment.

And amidst the cheers of the Western Faction,

Fang Qing regretfully lost to Natsukawa Kiichi.

Under Natsukawa Kiichi's final sharp draw of the blade, he dissipated from the arena stage.

Yet Natsukawa Kiichi didn't seem happy about this victory. Instead, he drew his long sword, pointed it at Li Fan below the stage, and said:

"If the next one drawn is you, this will be your end!"

Li Fan's words yesterday had kept him awake all night; every time he thought of them, he nearly ground his molars to dust.

Therefore, what could make him happy wasn't defeating Fang Qing, Wang Xing, or Tang Hua, but Li Fan!

Only by seeing Li Fan's pained expression with his own eyes could he vent his anger!

This scene

truly made the Western Faction boil with even more excitement.

This aura of looking down on the world really brought them great pride!

In contrast, over at the Great Xia camp,

almost everyone was gritting their teeth and clenching their fists, their faces solemn.

If it were yesterday, they would have certainly retorted sharply and shouted on Li Fan's behalf.

But after witnessing Natsukawa Kiichi's strength, any rebuttal would seem very weak before they actually defeated him.

As for such a provocation,

Li Fan appeared very indifferent.

He wasn't the type of person who liked to talk big.

What he liked was taking direct action.

Since he hadn't been drawn for a duel yet, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Natsukawa Kiichi.

However, he took note of Natsukawa Kiichi's clamoring face.

When he was drawn to go up later, he would definitely leave a deep impression on Natsukawa Kiichi.

Seeing that Li Fan didn't respond,

Natsukawa Kiichi immediately struck a winner's pose, raising his arms to the crowd.

For a moment,

the Western Faction was in a complete frenzy!

As for the current state of the battle,

it had turned into Natsukawa Kiichi and another Japanese samurai drawing opponents from Li Fan, Wang Xing, and Tang Hua.

And this time,

very luckily,

Natsukawa Kiichi drew Li Fan directly.

The moment the result came out, both Li Fan and Natsukawa Kiichi had a smile on their faces.
