Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 428: Immortals Fight

"Thanks to you, Mr. Xia, my daughter has been very respectful to me at home these two days!"

"By the way, here are some autographs from some acquaintances of mine. Please sign them while you're getting your hair done..."

After Xia Fan sat down in front of the makeup mirror, Tietian Tiji smiled and handed over a stack of clothes, photos, posters and other things that needed to be signed.

"By the way, Director Ozu said that this episode is a 'special project'. What exactly is it about?"

While doing his hairstyle and signing autographs, Xia Fan asked with some confusion.

This special project has a large budget and is kept secret, without giving the guests the chance to see the script in advance.

"I just heard from the staff that the name of this special project is 'Fairy Battle'..."

"It sounds like there will be more than one 'immortal' appearing?"

Yukiko Kobayashi, who was sitting in the other corner of the room, speculated quietly.

……

"Dear audience, welcome to the special planning chapter of the secret of immortals, the Immortal Brawl!"

Three hours later, in the brightly lit studio, the host in a suit and tie stood on the stage and made the announcement to the camera.

"In today's show, several 'immortals' have been specially invited from all over the country to demonstrate their lifelong learning and try to break the world record under the witness of the official staff of Chickens!"

"Of course, before that, they still have to face the challenge from the guest team to prove that their 'immortal arts' are not in vain..."

When recording programs at the TBS TV station headquarters, the thing that is most in demand is hosts.

This host, who was invited by director Ozu, had just finished recording the weather forecast and still spoke with a strong "official tone".

"Now, let us welcome today's guest..."

"A frequent guest of this program, who has the ability to tell jokes in every pore, the manzai sage, Tetsuda Teji!"

"A popular young singer who is good at both singing and acting, Sakamoto Shu!"

"A sweet and salty girl idol, Yukiko Kobayashi!"

As the host introduced them, the guests walked up the red carpet one by one and sat in the guest seats.

"The last guest is Xia Fan, the most powerful Sharingan idol on earth, who is not afraid of high notes, street dance, or kendama!!!"

When Xia Fan made his final appearance, director Ozu actually arranged three photographers to follow and shoot close-ups.

"Today, facing the challenges of these powerful guests, I wonder how the immortals will respond?"

"Then, let us eagerly welcome the first immortal to appear today..."

"Known as 'everything above the tabletop is his domain', he can pull the tablecloth from under any object without leaving a trace, the tablecloth immortal!!!"

After the guests took their seats, today's first "immortal" appeared.

"I am Lecan. I have worked in a Michelin three-star French restaurant for 64 years. I am a professional butler who is proficient in various table service skills..."

This is an old man who is about 1.8 meters tall, with neatly combed gray hair, wearing a waiter's suit and white gloves.

On the side stage, the staff brought a solid wooden dining table, and the tablecloth-covered surface was neatly laid out with knives, forks, plates, wine glasses, and other items...

"In order to clean the dirty tablecloth without leaving any traces and not disturbing the guests' dining process, I trained my arm muscles day and night, practiced martial arts force techniques, and studied for a doctorate in tribology. Only then did I master this secret skill..."

Standing in front of the dining table and taking off his gloves in a majestic manner, the "Tablecloth Immortal" had a calm and elegant expression, like a killer who was about to carry out a mission.

"Well, this tablecloth... has stains... it needs to be cleaned..."

He lowered his head and scanned the tablecloth at the same level as his eyes. He quietly grasped both sides of the tablecloth with his hands...

"Secret, the tablecloth disappearing technique!" As he pulled hard, the tablecloth was pulled away from the tabletop at a speed comparable to lightning...

The things on the table, as if "there was no time to react", remained as they were on the solid wood table.

“Wow…it’s like I performed a painless surgery on the thing on the table!!!”

"It feels like it violates physics a bit."

"Actually, there is such a 'mystery'?"

The host clicked his tongue in praise, and the guests also covered their mouths in surprise and exclaimed in astonishment.

"Tonight, our 'tablecloth fairy' will challenge the world record of 'pulling out the tablecloth from under four layers of 19 high-heeled glasses' under the witness of the official staff of the Chicken World Records..."

"The previous world record was held by the 'Tablecloth God' from South Korea, who 'pulled out the tablecloth from under four layers of eighteen goblets'!"

“Before that, he will accept challenges from our guests as a warm-up phase.”

The staff re-laid the tablecloth and placed a layer of nine glass goblets on it.

"Then let me demonstrate for you all first."

"The key points of the technique are explosive power, control, and stable output... In other words, fast, fierce, accurate, and stable..."

The "Tablecloth Immortal" grabbed the tablecloth and pulled it away lightly, and the nine wine glasses barely shook.

"please……"

Then, he spread his hands gracefully, motioning the guests to come forward and try.

“It feels so fun!”

"You don't have to pay for breaking the cup, right? Who's going first?"

"This kind of thing that requires strength and skill should be done by a monster like you..."

Several guests looked at each other, and Sakamoto Hide pushed Xia Fan out without any hesitation.

"Then, let me give it a try first."

Xia Fan calmly walked to the table, held the smooth tablecloth with both hands, and replayed the actions of the "Tablecloth Immortal" in his mind.

"Nine cups in one layer. Although it looks simple, I also practiced in the store for three months..."

"In order to ensure the perfect coefficient of friction on every contact surface, the skin of these hands is carefully maintained and a huge amount of insurance is invested."

Obviously well-versed in the routine of the show, seeing the guest who served as the "background board" appear on the stage, the "tablecloth fairy" began to explain with a smug look on his face...

"Wait, why is this kid's posture exactly the same as the 'withdrawal horse stance' that I figured out after so much practice?"

Looking at Xia Fan who was fine-tuning his posture, the Tablecloth Immortal had some kind of illusion...

He seemed to see his own shadow in this young man of similar height.

"I smoke!"

Xia Fan's hands, which were tightly gripping the tablecloth, turned into a residual shadow and pulled it back violently...

Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and the tablecloth was already intact in his hands, with nine wine glasses still placed on the table as if nothing had happened.

"Sure enough, just as I guessed... Xia Fan has the terrifying talent of 'being able to accurately imitate movements'!"

"My fellow immortals, you will most likely become dead today."

Director Ozu, who was monitoring the recording from behind, had shining eyes and a sinister smile.
