But I persevered in the end. It's okay if I can't write it; I'll learn and try to write it again.

Although there are still many shortcomings, I am trying my best to listen to good advice and work hard to correct them.

Actually, these aren't what I really wanted to say; I just suddenly felt compelled to write them down.

At the beginning, when I wrote this book, because I wasn't very good at writing my first book, it ended abruptly after 66 words. So I thought that this time I must reach one million words and finish it normally.

To my utter surprise, the book not only surpassed one million words, but then another 1.5 million words, and now it's at two million words, and it's still not finished. This is something I really didn't expect.

To be honest, I had the idea of ​​cutting this book off a long time ago, but later, due to lack of experience, frequent writer's block, and other external factors, I wanted to cut it off many times.

Finally, it was with everyone's support and encouragement that I've made it this far. I'm truly grateful for your support.

My royalties aren't much, and at this point, some people might say that my writing is so bad, it's no wonder it flopped and I don't get paid.

Yes, my writing may not be very good, but is it something I want to do poorly? For an author, a child is like their child; who doesn't want their child to succeed?

And think about it again, if I were really after the royalties and wanted to make money from it, would this book still have so many chapters? I would have cut it off and moved on to another one long ago.

If I said I write only out of interest, not only you guys, but even I wouldn't believe it. Who doesn't want to make money? Which loser doesn't dream of earning over ten thousand a month?

But if it's just for making money, I feel that writing books is meaningless, so I have both interest and money!

Making money is my goal in writing this book, but interest is my original purpose, and your support is what has kept me going until now.

Thank you for being with me all the way!

I've rambled on and on about my thoughts and feelings, just writing whatever came to mind. Finally, let me talk about the plans for this book.

It definitely has to be finished. I've calculated the outline, and it will probably be finished between 250 and 300 million words. It can't be less, and it can't be more. At most, it will be 350 million words. It will definitely be finished before that.

There's not much more to the story now; it'll probably consist of two major battles every two days. There might be some additions or subtractions, but the overall direction should remain the same.

Last but not least, good luck!

Chapter 969 Wang Ai

"Old man, you're the one who's gone too far!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu retorted defiantly, "This bastard hasn't given up yet! Don't worry, with me here, he won't die."

Others might be afraid of Wang Ai, but he wasn't. Anyway, they would have to return to Nonhuman City after the competition, and he didn't believe Wang Ai could find them again.

Even if he goes to Japan to cause trouble for Rikka and the others, does he really think the intelligence networks of the Kurahashi and Tsuchimikado families are useless? He can just have Tohru and the others lie in wait for him. Chiba is his home turf.

Moreover, even if Wang Ai didn't cause him any trouble, he still wanted to cause trouble for Wang Ai and Wang Bing. He would go back to Grandma's place and, together with Jiu Yue, stir up some eerie winds and ghost fires. He didn't believe that Grandma wouldn't react.

"Little brat, watch your mouth!" Wang Ai looked coldly at Tsuchimikado Tou, and immediately released a murderous aura towards him.

If it were Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who had just transmigrated, he would definitely be scared in this situation. After all, both in his previous life and in this body, he was a shut-in. It would be strange if he wasn't scared when surrounded by murderous aura.

But things are different now. During his time here, although he hasn't fought many battles, he's encountered incredibly powerful things. Through his daily interactions with everyone, he has gradually developed a fearless heart.

"I not only used words, I also used my fists." Tsuchimikado Fuyu sneered, and once again swung the dandelion and slammed it hard into Wang Ai.

This time, Wang Ai didn't directly take the hit head-on. After helping Wang Bing block the attack, he realized that the dandelion in Tsuchimikado Tou's hand was very heavy, and even if he had taken the hit himself, his arm would have felt a little numb.

So he would avoid it if he could, and he didn't believe that Tsuchimikado Fuyu could last long swinging something so heavy.

This time he was wrong. You see, dandelions are something that Yingcao carries around every day. She can swing them all day without feeling that they are heavy. She will only feel bored and her hands will ache.

Of course, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't expect his move to injure Wang Ai. If he were defeated by such a simple move, his position as one of the Ten Elders would have been taken away long ago.

Then, after forcing Wang Ai back two steps, Tsuchimikado Tou turned around and threw a dandelion at Wang Bing.

"You little bastard! You're asking for death!" Wang Ai said angrily.

He had already shown himself, but this little thing not only didn't give him any face, but also attacked him. Most importantly, it actually threw it at his grandson's treasure. If it hit him, wouldn't the Wang family line end?

This little bastard wants my Wang family to be wiped out!

Thinking of this, Wang Ai immediately circulated the Qi in his body, blocking the dandelion with one hand and fiercely blasting the other hand towards Tsuchimikado Tofu.

Wang Ai reacted quickly, but the other shore flower reacted even faster, instantly conjuring a flower rope that pulled Tsuchimikado back.

Just as Tsuchimikado Tou was flying backward, he threw a kitchen knife from behind him.

Wang Ai dodged the attack of the kitchen knife and sneered, "Little brat, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders."

"You! You're not worthy." Just then, a woman's voice rang out behind Wang Ai. To the astonishment of the audience, the kitchen knife transformed into a mature and sophisticated woman wielding it.

Wang Ai quickly turned around and blocked Xiao Yi's attack, but his sleeve and arm were cut with a small wound.

"Amazing!"

"I didn't expect this guy to be so bold as to dare to fight with the Ten Elders."

"Although watching him beat up that Wang was pretty fun, why does it feel even more fun now?"

"You're using the wrong conjunction."

"Hey! Is this your main point? Hitting the Ten Elders? That guy's got some nerve."

"Courage is one thing, but the most important thing is that the Ten Elders actually fell into a disadvantageous position, which is simply unbelievable."

Zhang Chulan had no idea about the Ten Elders' strength. Instead, he was surprised to see the weapon in Xiao Yi's hand, then looked at Feng Baobao and complained, "Sister Baobao, do all experts like to use kitchen knives?"

"The kitchen knife is indeed very useful." Feng Baobao nodded in agreement. "This woman has good taste!"

"You little brat! You're asking for death!" Wang Ai felt the pain in his arm and was momentarily stunned before bursting into a rage.

I never imagined that after so many years of dominating the world of supernatural beings, I would be defeated by a little kid.

Although it was partly due to my lack of skill and carelessness, I did lose face.

As she spoke, Wang Ai vanished from everyone's sight in an instant, and then appeared in front of Tsuchimikado Fuyu in the next second, reaching out to grab at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's head.

At that moment, Yaodao-hime and Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been standing still behind Tsuchimikado Fuyu, moved, and Ercoa on the stage also stood up and took a step forward.

However, just as the three of them were about to make a move, the old master was a step ahead of them and blocked Wang Ai's attack. "Brother Wang, we old folks shouldn't get involved in this competition between the younger generation. It wouldn't sound good if word got out."

"And it looks like your little one is seriously injured; you should get him treated first."

Wang Ai glanced silently at the old Celestial Master, then gave Tsuchimikado Fuyu a cold look and said, "Since the old Celestial Master has already joined the fray, this old fellow naturally can't break the rules."

As he spoke, he scooped up Wang Bing and left the competition venue. Only then did the Taoist priest on the stage announce: "Tsuchimikado Dong versus Wang Bing, the winner is Tsuchimikado Dong."

The next match is between Zhang Lingyu and Tsuchimikado Himezuki. Both players, please enter the arena immediately.

"Little one, let's go first," the old master said with a smile to Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"Thank you very much, Master Tsuchimikado," Tsuchimikado said respectfully.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu certainly wouldn't give Wang Ai a friendly look.

But the Old Celestial Master is different. Putting aside the fact that he is Zhang Zhao's elder, Longhu Mountain is his territory. In addition, this guy's strength has already reached the level of a god, so it is normal for him to respect him.

Seeing that Tsuchimikado Tou was giving him face, the old master's expression didn't change, but he nodded inwardly, just as Xiao Zhangzhao had said, this kid is not bad.

The old master and Tsuchimikado Fuyu left the arena, and then Zhang Lingyu and Ji Yue walked into the arena, where the audience cheered.

They were already thrilled by Tsuchimikado Fuyu's match just now, this one must be even more exciting.

After all, one side is known as the leader of the younger generation, and the other side is the younger sister of Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who was able to injure the Ten Elders. At the same time, she herself has made it into the top eight, so her strength is definitely not weak. When these two clash, this match will be quite interesting.

Chapter 970 Tsuchimikado Fuyu in a Fury

"I am Tsuchimikado Himezuki from the Tsuchimikado family. Nice to meet you." Standing in the arena, Himezuki looked at Zhang Lingyu and said earnestly.

For her, participating in this competition was about improving herself and broadening her horizons.

Since the start of the competition, she has witnessed all sorts of masters from China, but none of them posed a significant threat to her.

But Zhang Lingyu is different. He rarely makes a move, and he almost always kills his opponents instantly. His strength is extremely high, and for her, Zhang Lingyu is a challenge.

However, she also had her own pride. As the eldest daughter of the Tsuchimikado family, she had always been the model child and would never surrender without a fight.

Moreover, she doesn't think she will lose.

Seeing Ji Yue's fighting spirit, Zhang Lingyu bowed respectfully and said, "Zhang Lingyu from the Celestial Master's Mansion, please give me your guidance."

"Contestants have arrived, the competition...begins!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the two men charged at each other simultaneously.

"King's Name Sword Style, Wind Slash!" Ji Yue made the first move, slashing at Zhang Lingyu with a drawn sword.

Zhang Lingyu didn't even need to use the Golden Light Spell to easily block Ji Yue's attack.

Ji Yue was not surprised by this. She originally just wanted to test him. If Zhang Lingyu couldn't even stop this, then he was too unworthy of being the leader of the younger generation.

Ji Yue then swung her katana rapidly, slashing at Zhang Lingyu relentlessly, her movements becoming faster and faster, one move after another, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.

Zhang Lingyu dared not underestimate his opponent. Golden light enveloped his entire body, not only blocking Ji Yue's attack but also launching a counterattack with ease.

Seeing that ordinary swordsmanship was ineffective, Ji Yue began to use Yin-Yang techniques. As she slashed, talismans flew everywhere, some flying towards Zhang Lingyu, some falling to the ground, some sticking to her own body, and some circulating around her katana.

The functions of talismans vary, including those that enhance oneself, weaken the opponent, exert control, and defend against attacks.

However, for Zhang Lingyu, it was all just flashy moves. Most of Ji Yue's attacks were like stones sinking into the sea, having no effect on him at all.

At this moment, Ji Yue finally realized that Zhang Lingyu's strength was indeed not on the same level as hers, and it seemed that she still had a long way to go.

This is actually normal. After all, Zhang Lingyu is nearly ten years older than Ji Yue. His talent is already stronger than Ji Yue's, and he has cultivated for so many more years. It would be abnormal if he had difficulty dealing with Ji Yue.

Furthermore, Ji Yue is not skilled with shikigami; her strength relies entirely on her own cultivation and the tsukumogami she wields. Most of her talismans are for dealing with ghosts and monsters, which are of little use to Zhang Lingyu. She can only use a handful of talismans.

After exchanging blows for a while, Ji Yue had used almost all of her skills but still could not break Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Curse.

Soon, the two separated. Ji Yue looked at the calm and collected Zhang Lingyu, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Master Lingyu's strength is indeed very strong, but Ji Yue has one last move she wants to try. Please be careful, Master Lingyu."

“Since Miss Tsuchimikado is so kind as to offer her guidance, I will certainly do my best. Please feel free to attack, Miss Tsuchimikado,” Zhang Lingyu said with a smile.

Under the excited and curious gazes of the audience, a dense array of talismans appeared on Tsuchimikado Himeki's body as she closed her eyes and muttered something incessantly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone could feel a significant change in Ji Yue's aura, transforming her from an ice goddess into a cold and piercing weapon.

Then, Ji Yue opened her eyes, and everyone noticed that her eyes had lost their color, as if she had gone blind.

Of course, she wasn't blind. In fact, in Zhang Lingyu's perception, Ji Yue was like a sharp blade that hadn't been drawn yet, her aura rising, but he couldn't sense any danger from her.

No, it wasn't that she couldn't sense the danger; rather, she had buried it, like an assassin waiting for the fatal blow.

"Wow! She's mastered both man and weapon, and also knows the art of assassination. This little girl has quite the talent." From the audience, Lu Jin said with a smile as he saw Ji Yue's transformation.

"Oh dear, it's fortunate that this little girl is still young. Lingyu is a few years older than her and her cultivation is a bit higher. Otherwise, with just this one move, Lingyu would probably have suffered a loss." The old celestial master nodded and said.

"Come on, if this girl were trying to assassinate Zhang Lingyu, Zhang Lingyu would indeed be at a disadvantage if their cultivation levels were similar. But they're on the battlefield now, what's the use of mastering the art of assassination?" Lu Jin rolled his eyes at the old master.
