Chapter 487 Eight Treasures Style: Good Baby's Health Gymnastics
Cheng Tian jumped up from his seat and stared intently at the Eight Treasure Rice that was unleashing its skill.

At this moment, the ring blade in Hachibo Fan's hand was like a fully powered water pump, frantically drawing fighting spirit from Iori Yagami!

Almost visibly, Iori Yagami began to wane, and his manic smile could no longer be maintained.

In contrast, Hachiboku Rice, which absorbs Yagami's fighting spirit through its ring blade, is growing rapidly and visibly.

It wasn't the kind of size-enlarging technique that makes a person grow larger; rather, it was as if the growth from puberty, from age 12 to 18, was shortened to a few seconds, resulting in an incredibly natural physical growth.

The little pudding has transformed into a figure comparable to Mai Shiranui in the blink of an eye!

It was a female player!?
But because the size of the "children's clothes" on her body has not changed, the current Eight Treasure Rice looks quite... well, exciting!

"Eight Treasures Ring Kill! Who would have thought that the Eight Treasures Rice contestant would be the disciple of that lewd master, Eight Treasures Restaurant!"
The player who successfully withstood the frenzy of the Eight Maidens' Eight Treasure Rice not only managed to drain the energy from Iori Yagami with the Eight Treasure Ring Kill, but also used that energy to force his own body to grow to the size of an adult!
Iori Yagami is facing an unprecedented crisis!

Cheng Tian was finding it hard to contain his enthusiasm.

Seeing Xiao Zi's amazing combination of possession and fusion with Gastly had already made him realize the infinite possibilities of players, and the ability system of Eight Treasure Rice surprised him even more.

Abaddon's ultimate ability "Last Stand" from the Dota universe needs no introduction. It's a life-saving skill that most people would find difficult to hold back at crucial moments. As long as it's automatically triggered, it can immediately give you at least 4 seconds of safety time, and even provide a large amount of healing and the possibility of a counter-kill.

The origin of this Eight Treasures Ring Killer is rather mysterious.

To be precise, the full name of this skill is "Happo-ryu Baby Health Gymnastics," a martial art created by a powerful, smelly old man named "Happo-sai" from the world of "Ranma 1/2."

As the skill name suggests, this skill was originally designed to help sickly children replenish themselves by absorbing the energy released from nature, thus achieving self-healing through rehabilitation gymnastics.

But there's an indescribable evil about this old man from Babaozhai who's always thinking about stealing other people's underwear and taking advantage of girls. Any skill he uses will inevitably end up going astray.

This was originally a health exercise for babies to absorb the energy released from nature, but once the target is switched to living organisms, the situation changes drastically.

Fighting spirit, battle intent, and anger are all within the scope of health gymnastics, provided that a perfectly circular, transparent object is needed as the medium for casting the spell.

Size doesn't matter, as long as it's round and transparent on both sides.

For example, hula hoops, bracelets, the hard core in the middle of toilet paper, etc., all meet the conditions for a medium for casting spells, and the one that Babaofan chose is this ring blade.

As for the source of the skill, it's relatively easy to guess; it should be "Ranma 1/2: Super Technique Rumble" on the SFC platform.

Because of the fighting game craze sparked by Street Fighter, many games inevitably tried to get a piece of the fighting game market, and Ranma 1/2 was no exception.

There were two proper fighting games on the SFC platform: one was "Town Fighting" and the other was "Super Technique Rumble". In "Super Technique Rumble", "Niniya Hinako", who knows the "Good Baby Health Gymnastics", appeared as a playable character.

As a child, Hinako Ninomiya can absorb fighting spirit through the small round hole in the middle of a Japanese coin, temporarily growing into an adult woman.

Just like the Eight Treasure Rice contestant at this moment.

Iori Yagami, whose fighting spirit and rage were suddenly drained due to the skill's stun, couldn't muster the desire to continue fighting for a moment, and felt a sense of calm and emptiness as if it had happened afterward.

Babaofan, whose body swelled up so much that it drew cheers and whistles from the audience, was covered in cold sweat.

The remaining injuries from the Eight Maidens on her body weren't serious, and the Azure Flame she had consumed during her final moments of lucidity had transformed into a considerable healing effect, instantly scabbing over many of her bloody wounds. However, all the physical pain combined couldn't compare to Cheng Tian's words, "open the box."

She didn't feel anything when she saw Xiao Zi get hit in the last match, but now that it's her turn to get hit, she's really sweating buckets, everyone.

She's starting to regret continuing to compete...

But since things have come to this point, it's too late to say anything.

Based on the principle that he couldn't be the only one to suffer bad luck, Babaofan glanced inadvertently at his teammates' waiting area, where the remaining two teammates, Ren Xiaoyao and Jack, were pushing each other.

"Go!" "I'm not going! You go now!"

"If you don't go, I'll steal your e-wallet!" "Bullshit! I'm not going!"

Xiao Zi, who had already been driven away, displayed an attitude of indifference and even a hint of schadenfreude.

...Those unreliable bastards!

Originally intending to vote directly, Babaofan softened and turned her attention back to Yagami after seeing how unreliable her own people were.

Although he forcibly drained the opponent's fighting spirit and anger, he only drained the high-spirited part, not the exaggerated part that Gou Chengzi described, which he said could be drained dry in one go. At the same time, this does not mean that the opponent will become someone who takes a beating without fighting back. It just means that the opponent's fighting spirit will be low, giving the impression that they have just woken up and are in a state of low blood sugar.

Looking at his not-so-healthy health bar, Babaofan took a deep breath, preparing to deliver a ruthless blow to his opponent before admitting defeat.

The "Good Baby Health Gymnastics" technique can absorb and release fighting spirit. This high level of fighting spirit and rage, entirely derived from Iori Yagami, should be able to be transformed into a powerful energy blast.

There are still restrictions on absorption, but releasing it is simpler. You only need to make a standard hand gesture for Tien Shinhan's Ki Blast and absorb fighting spirit beforehand to meet the release conditions for "Eight Treasures Returned".

Using this simple release condition, she planned to use the ring blade in her hand as a cover, making everyone mistakenly believe that she could only release with the ring blade, and then find an opportunity to fire directly.

The idea of ​​Eight Treasure Rice was good, but she couldn't predict what kind of changes would occur in the body of a Serpent Blood user whose fighting spirit and anger had been drained.

dong dong!dong dong!
An unusual heartbeat, seemingly capable of resonating with the entire audience, emanated from Iori Yagami, who had been hanging his head and remaining motionless since his fighting spirit was drained.

Oops!

Chizuru Kagura and Kyo Kusanagi, both wielders of the Three Sacred Treasures, immediately noticed Iori Yagami's unusual behavior.

When Iori Yagami slowly raised his head, his eyes, peeking out from his punk-style bangs, had completely lost all human emotions and color. If one had to use a single adjective, it would be... a beast!
A crimson hue, almost tangible, enveloped the entire competition venue in that instant.

With his fighting spirit and emotions drained, Iori Yagami, whose bloodline instincts took over, opened his arms and roared to the sky.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!~~~~"

At the same time, all players in the entire arena received the exact same spatial notification.

【Iori Yagami, runaway! 】
