Chapter 399 President Kaiba
Cheng Tian's mind had registered the message, but his hand was still instinctively pressing the channel change button. He quickly switched the screen back to the previous channel.

The scene was now completely enveloped in a blinding white light.

As the light faded, the main road, which had been cleared of vehicles and pedestrians beforehand, was now covered with a color scorched by the high temperature.

As for the source of this attack, it was a "giant dragon" that should not have appeared in the fighting tournament at all, radiating silver light. But without a doubt, this silver dragon was completely dependent on the tall and slender man beside it, whose eyes and brows were full of contempt.

Just as the world is to Cheng Tian, ​​this silver dragon is also a familiar or summoned creature.

"Alright... isn't ARAM just a fighting game too?"

As his wide eyes gradually returned to normal, Cheng stuffed a well-cooked bamboo shoot into his mouth while muttering to himself.

Seto Kaiba, a character from the MUGEN entry, comes from "JUMP Super Smash Bros." Originally, Kaiba, the president of the company, should have been a pure card player, but in the Super Smash Bros. universe, he gained the ability to summon Aiska in physical form and fight as a Stand user.

And this silver "dragon," which, when its wings are spread, is about the size of a small truck, is the wife of Kaiba Corporation's president, Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Supermodel? Cheng Tian didn't know. All he knew was that the crossover anime the club president worked on featured characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Pegasus Seiya…

In any case, the space will definitely be reasonably balanced. Cheng Tian can reasonably assume that the president's Blue-Eyes White Dragon should also have attributes such as sharing life and spirit with the summoner, just like the world.

I just don't know if the president brought the Giant Warrior card.

Sure enough, after being hit by a Gale Burst Bullet from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the ground, which should have been shattered to pieces, began to repair itself as if it had built-in nanomachines. Neither Kaiba himself nor the bloodthirsty NPC spectators watching from afar noticed anything wrong with it.

It seems that the current King of Fighters '97 world has been customized with world rules specifically for fighting games.

Besides the scorched and recovering ground, there were also their charred opponents; all three were enveloped in the dragon's breath.

Cheng Tian had seen this team before; it was the original seeded team, the "High Monk Team," whose members consisted of three monks.

Chen Nian from "The Great Blood Temple Clan", Hanafuuin Hira from "Samurai Shodown", and Dalsim from "Street Fighter".

These three eminent monks were all, without exception, not orthodox monks.

Chen Nian is a pure wine-and-meat monk. Although he is not a bad person, he has an extremely strong obsession with wine, meat and beautiful women.

Hanafuuin Hira simply enjoys fighting and arguing; he was the one who first agreed to the fight with the club president.

Dharsim, this Indian high monk, is considered the most serious, but he also has a wife and children. There was even a scene in the story where his son urged his father to teleport home to eat curry.

As for why the conflict arose between the two sides...

There was no particular reason; it was simply that the seahorse happened to run into the group of high-ranking monks. Based on the principle of proximity and also with a certain desire to vent his anger, the seahorse made his move.

In the live stream, Kaiba, with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon floating beside him, strode towards several dark-skinned monks. Seemingly unguarded, he extended his hand with an attitude that brooked no refusal.

"Hand it over."

With a roar, combined with Chen Nian's qigong and Darsim's flames, Hanakoin Haira managed to deflect some of the Explosive Gale Bullets' power. He sighed, then handed over the invitation from his arms. "Don't think you've won so easily; we'll take it back!"

As Hanafuuin Hiro said, because the rule is that the team holding the invitation is considered to have passed the preliminary round and entered the main competition when the countdown ends, even if they lose the invitation, they will not be immediately eliminated. This thing can change hands countless times.

It's like a game of musical chairs; rationally speaking, fighting for the last minute is the most energy-efficient option.

"Feel free to come over here."

After accepting the invitation, President Kaiba simply left behind this one sentence and turned to leave without even glancing at the other person.

Here, Cheng Tian wanted to praise the organizer's mysterious sound recording ability, because he heard the seahorse murmur a sentence as if making a wish when it turned around.

"My king, this time I will definitely let you..."

The seahorse didn't finish its sentence, and it was clearly not meant for the audience.

However, the other person's murmur gave Cheng Tian a new direction for thought.

Players participate for the main quest and rewards, while local NPCs compete for tournament rankings and battles against strong opponents. So, these other world players who are drawn in because of the MUGEN tag must also have their own purposes.

For example, would Kaiba, the president of the company, participate in KOF97 just because he won a fighting tournament?
I have a feeling that the developers might have made some extra promises to these MUGEN players, such as allowing them to fight Atum again.

With Haima's victory and departure, the channel's title changed from "High Monk Team" to "Haima Team." What surprised many people was that, in the team information label, Haima Team only had one person, Haima Lairen.

This means that Seto Kaiba's team has no substitutes, and whether in the qualifiers or the main tournament, he can only rely on one person to defeat all opponents.

However, after such an overwhelming and powerful battle, most people who watched the live broadcast felt that this should be considered "the composure of the strong," rather than a lack of understanding of the situation.

Soon, the live stream switched to a replay of the previous battle, with dedicated commentators analyzing frame by frame and creating atmosphere. The organizers also decided to add more staff after realizing that the channel's popularity would definitely not be low.

Since there was only one person, the invitation letter would definitely be in Haima's hands. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, and many audition teams didn't think Haima could hold out for 72 hours without wavering.

Next comes the question of a protracted war.

Continue changing channels.

As another seeded team, Cheng Tian's Team O'Leary was naturally on the live stream. However, since the analysis of the battle against the Great God of Love had already ended, and Kaiba had just pulled that stunt, the current analysis focused on comparing Cheng Tian's Stand World with Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Of course, both Cheng Tian and Kaiba only showed a very basic side of their Stands/Familiars, and the analysis was naturally superficial. However, the level of discussion was quite high, and there was even a phone call segment, which can be considered as listening to the audience's voice.

Guided by the staff, Kaiba frowned slightly after seeing the battle scene where Cheng Tian summoned his Stand.

"Orange... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."
