The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

Unlicensed Rider didn't notice Tatsumaki's subtle movements; his gaze, projected through the windshield, was full of reverence.

Just then, Tornado heard a deafening roar coming from inside the arena. Even through the thick walls, she could clearly hear the audience chanting King's name.

"Honestly, why bother participating in such a boring activity? It only increases everyone else's workload!"

Tornado said, then turned to look at Mumen Rider and said...

"I'm going to check on the situation at the venue. You guys better get to work properly, and stop acting like nothing's wrong every day, you hear me!"

"clear!"

The unlicensed knight immediately spoke respectfully.

Tornado nodded and then flew towards the location of the venue.

......

Inside the venue, the guests are reading their opening speeches.

At this moment, Bangu is introducing the history of the martial arts tournament, a task that serves no practical purpose but must be performed every time.

"...These words are my message to the new contestants. I hope each of them will perform exceptionally well on the field..."

"Next, please welcome Mr. King to the stage to speak."

At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to King.

"Really."

King sighed slightly. He hadn't expected there to be a part where he had to speak, and he hadn't thought about what to say.

What to say?

Let's do it the same as last time.

Just then, King remembered that when he attended the Hero Association's welcome party last time, he recited the lines from the game he had played.

This tactic might still be feasible now.

However, the reason it was successful last time was mainly because there weren't many people present, and those heroes and association executives were definitely not people who played video games, so they didn't know that what King said was actually a line from a game.

But what about now?

Among the tens of thousands of people in the venue, there are definitely some who have played the same type of game.

Never mind, I'll just make a few minor changes to the lines later. I doubt anyone will complain.

King stepped onto the stage, coughed lightly a few times, and the previously noisy venue instantly fell silent as everyone awaited his speech.

Heroes like Sweet Mask and Atomic Samurai held their breath, having heard King's inspiring speech before, and were eagerly anticipating this one as well.

King took a deep breath and finally spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

"Hello everyone, I'm King..."

Soon, King once again quoted lines from the game. With his current powerful aura, the speech sounded incredibly inspiring, even more so than his previous speech at the Hero Association.

Chapter 30: The champion will be qualified to spar with me.

"...In this era, we should not be complacent with the status quo, but should constantly strive to challenge ourselves."

After King finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the entire audience.

Some of them did feel that King's words sounded familiar, but they didn't think about it carefully and couldn't connect the dots at all, realizing that what King was saying was actually a line from a game.

After listening to King's speech, all the audience members felt their blood boil and cheered sincerely.

At the entrance to the stadium, Tornado slightly raised her head, listening to the continuous shouts around her, and muttered to herself:

"Seriously, it's just a normal statement, why are you getting so worked up?"

Tornado had heard the cheers of the audience outside, so she came over under the pretext of checking the situation and also to see what was going on with King.

Although she said King's speech was very ordinary, Tornado felt a momentary resonance when she listened to King's speech.

"This guy is all talk and no action."

Tornado pouted slightly.

On the ring, King had finished reciting what he had prepared in his mind and looked around at the applauding crowd.

That should be enough of a statement.

Should we say something more?

Now that I'm a special guest at this martial arts tournament, I should probably come up with something special, which might help boost my reputation.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

King cleared his throat, and his deep, slightly magnetic voice echoed in the venue. The audience's noisy chatter instantly quieted down as they waited for King's next words.

Meanwhile, the contestants in the audience were also speculating, wondering what King was going to say next.

"Since I am the special guest today, I'll add a little something to the celebration."

King said slowly.

"This time, the champion of the competition will have the opportunity to compete against me."

These words immediately ignited an uproar among all the contestants.

"what?!"

"Able to fight King?"

"This is something I never dreamed of!"

Although the martial arts world and the professional hero community do not completely overlap, they have almost all heard of King's reputation.

The opportunity to spar with someone who holds the title of the strongest on Earth is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

He thought he might be able to demonstrate his strength in front of King, which would surely lead to great success in the future.

"Will winning the championship guarantee a chance to face King?"

A meaningful smile spread across Shui Long's face, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

"I can't miss this opportunity. I also want to experience the power of an S-class hero."

"If I defeat King, I should never have to worry about the cost of food, drink, and entertainment for the rest of my life."

"Then I'll be a little more serious."

His tone was nonchalant, as if winning the championship was an easy thing to do.

Meanwhile, the werewolf, who had already been replaced by someone else, sat motionless in his seat, but his eyes remained fixed on King.

"This guy is so boring!"

Upon hearing King's speech at the entrance, Tornado shook her head.

Standing on the ring, King reflected on his speech, which should ignite the passion among the contestants and further enhance the attention given to the martial arts tournament, while also boosting his own reputation.

The opportunity to fight King is already a huge draw, and the global live broadcast will undoubtedly boost the viewership of this martial arts tournament.

He opened his system menu, and sure enough, his reputation points were growing much faster than before.

"Then please get ready, everyone."

After saying his last words, King quickly left the ring.

After King stepped down from the stage, he was met with even more enthusiastic applause than before, which lasted for a long time.

Among the guests, the other three heroes looked surprised, completely unexpected that King would express his willingness to spar with the champion.

However, a joyful smile immediately appeared on Bang's face, and he stood up:

"It seems Mr. King is really interested in martial arts!"

Atomic Samurai and Sweet Mask are very much looking forward to seeing King make a move again.

At this moment, the host of the martial arts competition once again stepped onto the stage in the center of the venue:

"The martial arts tournament officially begins!"

......

Soon, the contestants were divided into groups and began 1v1 battles.

The visual experience of different martial arts styles on the ring is completely different, bringing audiences entirely different experiences.

In the guest seats, Bang was giving King a long and detailed introduction to the characteristics of various martial arts styles. Although he used the 'Water Flow Rock Smash Fist', as a martial arts master, Bang actually had a certain understanding of the martial arts of various styles.

Meanwhile, King stood with his arms crossed, listening intently to Bang's speech.

But in reality, he didn't understand anything at all.

What exactly is Bangu talking about?

I don't understand at all.

My understanding of martial arts is limited to fighting games, you know!

However, King did not show his doubts, but kept nodding to indicate that he understood what Bang was saying.

Atomic Samurai and Sweet Mask, who were standing nearby, occasionally chimed in to agree.

Before we knew it, several hours had passed, and the competition had reached the final stage.

After rounds of selection, only two contestants remained out of dozens.

Water dragon and werewolf.

In the recent rounds of the competition, the two of them defeated all their opponents with absolute dominance.

And almost all of them were victories achieved with a single strike.

Even Baoshan, the champion of the previous two seasons, was unable to last a single round against the werewolf players and was almost instantly killed.

"This contestant named Shuilong is quite strong."

"As expected of a champion who has won multiple championships."

"He's truly a force to be reckoned with; he's probably already on par with S-class heroes."

Bang watched as the Water Dragon and the Werewolf walked onto the arena for the final battle and slowly said,
