Chapter 409 The Delicate Relationship Between the Perpetual Repeat Student and the Punk Beats Player
The high synchronization rate with the Stand world allowed Cheng Tian to indirectly enjoy the physical enhancement brought about by high strength and agility, making his movement between rooftops as easy as walking on flat ground.

During his journey, Cheng Tian bumped into a vampire pterosaur that was delivering goods.

Strictly speaking, the individual summoned by the Beast King's Nest is not a summoned beast in the traditional sense, but rather the caster himself, essentially a specific clone. Therefore, this vampire dragon also carries the consciousness of Nero Cat's original body.

Upon seeing Cheng Tian, ​​the vampire pterosaur swooped down and circled back to land beside him.

"Does it need to be sent to the lab?"

"No, just give it to me."

At Nero's prompting, Cheng Tian placed his hand on the belly of the vampire pterosaur, sinking it in as if he were reaching into a slime.

[Special bloodline material "Blood of Yagami" detected]

[Materials being collected—]

[Collection complete. Your 'Gene Collection Library' storage limit increased by 1, and you gained 3% of Yagami Blood materials.]

Side quest "The Legacy of Superpowered Bloodlines" progress: 1/10.

This amount of material collection was within Cheng Tian's expectations, or rather, it was quite beyond his expectations.

After all, it was just a quick, hurried sip. In fact, it was quite impressive that he could get such a big sip from Iori Yagami while he was not seriously injured.

Even the NESTS organization only dared to abduct Kyo Kusanagi after his battle with Orochi, when he was seriously injured and unconscious, and then they made him into various forms. Obtaining enough fresh blood from him while he was awake and in high combat strength was indeed a considerable challenge.

This was true for Kyo Kusanagi, and even more so for Iori Yagami. In fact, the unconscious Iori Yagami was even more dangerous; who knew when the Orochi blood within him would activate...

That's something only Nero Cat could pull off; it would be difficult for anyone else to do it.

"Cough cough cough~"

Iori Yagami, his forehead veins bulging, coughed a few times. In front of him, the hateful black cat was completely engulfed in purple flames, its body moving with extremely slow motion, like a videotape playing in slow motion.

Despite being a blazing fire, it gave off an indescribable feeling of coldness.

Iori Yagami was enduring his physical discomfort and suppressing the Orochi blood that had just begun to go berserk.

While it would be easy to fully accept Orochi's blood and immerse oneself in this state of subjugation, Iori Yagami's dignity would not allow him to become Orochi's puppet, even if it could bring him significant power growth. This was not what Iori Yagami sought.

However, due to the slight berserk state, the originally ordinary "108 Style Dark Hook Hand" actually activated some of the power of the Yasakani no Magatama, adding the additional effect that "the time of hitting the target will be greatly delayed".

It didn't quite reach the near-time-stopping power of the "Eight Wine Cups," but it did manage to freeze Nero Cat... right?

It can only be said that it was under control, but not completely under control.

Nero's Cat, who possesses the Beast King's Nest, doesn't have a so-called original body or clone; each one can be either an individual or a clone.

And so, far away on the other side, the vampire pterosaur that delivered Yagami's blood to Cheng transformed into Nero Cat after a series of wriggling and deformations.

"I was careless. I didn't expect it to be a rare time-based spell. Fortunately, it only pauses rather than completely interferes. It shouldn't be far from being a blue magic spell."

Nero the cat wiped non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead, looking on with a sigh.

"Looks like it's a really intense fight?"

Cheng Tian, ​​having placed Nero the cat on his shoulder, asked as he hopped along, continuing on his way. "He is indeed a rather unique opponent... but difficulty makes the challenge worthwhile, right, meow?"

"That's right~ Once you use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow too much, the game itself completely loses its fun."

Cheng Tian, ​​who agreed, gently bumped his big fist against the cat's little fist.

Cheng Tian's Dominator Radar was always on, and he could detect the presence of many humanoid individuals with special powers within his range while traveling. However, Cheng Tian could only distinguish between ordinary people and those with special abilities, and could not determine their specific combat strength.

However, based on the direction and the speed at which he was approaching, Cheng Tian could roughly guess that Kyo Kusanagi was inside.

Sure enough, the reason why it was said that he would never graduate was that the high school principal was unwilling to give up the fact that "the King of Fighters tournament champion is a student of our school" as a publicity point, so he insisted on not letting Kyo Kusanagi graduate and entered Cheng Tian's field of vision in a frantic manner.

However, the problem remains the same as before.

Since the other party possesses fragments of the Sun God Gem, why didn't they have the desire to plunder each other?
...Could it be that the fragments of the Sun God failed to have any corrosive effect on Kyo Kusanagi?
Cheng Tian lightly flicked the gemstone inlay on the forehead of the masked man, while Kyo Kusanagi, who had clearly sensed the fluctuations of Yagami's power, suddenly slammed on the brakes, leaving two dark burn marks on the ground, and looked around.

Without making any attempt to conceal himself, Cheng Tian descended directly from the sky, landing gracefully in front of Kusanagi Kyo.

The iconic Stand world allowed Kyo Kusanagi to recognize Cheng Tian's identity immediately, but soon his gaze was drawn to the Sun Mask that Cheng Tian was wearing.

"I never imagined you could wield such a blazing power, like the sun!"

The incredibly cheerful perennial repeat student immediately showed off his gloves, which bore the family's mark, and only a handful of people knew what they were talking about.

It looks like it really hasn't been corroded.
Was it due to the individual's exceptionally strong will? Or did the Kusanagi sword do something?
"I want them, I really need them, name your terms."

Cheng Tian chose to get straight to the point.

Since the other party was not corrupted by the fragments of the Sun God, it means that the other party does not have that kind of soul-deep desire to collect them, so there should be room for negotiation.

"You want this? Sure—"

Kyo Kusanagi gestured with his gloves towards Cheng Tian, ​​then paused, clashed his fists together, and bursts of crimson flames erupted from his body.

"But only if you defeat me!"

"no!"

Just as Kyo Kusanagi issued his battle declaration, a figure suddenly darted out from a side alley.

The powerful claw strike, carrying the now-fiery and malevolent purple flames, slammed directly towards Cheng Tian's crown!

"It's no use!"

The Stand World directly clashed with him with a punch.

A gust of wind burst forth from the center of the collision between the fist and the claw, sweeping outwards before bouncing back.

"The only one who can defeat Kusanagi is me!"

Despite not being in the best condition, Iori Yagami's ferocity only intensified as he roared at Cheng Tian.

Cheng Tian, ​​Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami stood like three legs in the middle of the road, and their images were reflected on the live broadcast screen. A large number of viewers began to flood back into the "Ollili Team" live broadcast channel.
