The shuttle in the second dimension

　If Zhu Xing's majestic aura was that of a ferocious tiger king, then the aura of the man before her was that of a prehistoric beast. And those icy eyes that seemed to freeze her soul made her feel like she was falling into an icy abyss.

　Asagi Kazuki's sudden stop naturally aroused doubts among people except Lin Xuan, but only a few people could see the reason.

　Looking at the strange scene on the field, Shinguji Kurono blew out a smoke ring and murmured in shock.

　"monster."

　"Chairman, did Lin Xuan do anything to that player Asagi?" Because her realm was not high enough, Zhu Shizuku did not feel the momentum that was restrained by Lin Xuan.

　"That (hx) brat - used his aura to suppress his opponent so that he couldn't move." He looked at Lin Xuan's back with a serious expression.

　From the simulated battle between Lin Xuan and Stella, Shinguji Kurono understood that Lin Xuan was very powerful. Later, when he appeared as the leader of Akatsuki Academy, Shinguji Kurono was even more certain of Lin Xuan's strength. But today, after feeling the aura of Lin Xuan, she felt that she had still underestimated him.

　Looking at Lin Xuan, Stella clenched her fists. She had felt Lin Xuan's desperate aura before, so she didn't feel strange that Asaki Kazuki was unable to move under Lin Xuan's aura. If it weren't for the power that had not yet awakened in her body, she would probably be like her, unable to move in front of Lin Xuan and let him slaughter her.

　Alice, who was sitting next to Zhuzhi, looked at Lin Xuan with a complicated expression. Like Stella, he had also experienced the baptism of Lin Xuan's aura. Unlike Stella, Alice knew better how Lin Xuan's aura was condensed.

　-

　On the field

　Looking at Asagi Kaguya who was unable to move, Lin Xuan swung the [Destroy] with the scabbard in his hand at an extremely fast speed and knocked Asagi Kaguya unconscious.

　At this point, Lin Xuan’s first game ended.

Chapter 169

　After the announcer announced the result of the game with a confused look on his face, Lin Xuan left the competition venue. After he left, a few minutes later, the audience began to burst into (hx) a (hx) of intense discussion. After all, this game was too strange.

　Asagi Kaguya was about to succeed, but a single glance from his opponent paralyzed him, and he was ultimately knocked unconscious. If it weren't for their trust in Asagi Kaguya, a disciple of the Fighting God, the audience would have believed this match was a farce orchestrated by Asagi Kaguya and Lin Xuan.

　However, most of the audience were just ordinary people after all, and even if they discussed it, they wouldn't be able to come up with anything, so they once again cast puzzled glances at the commentator.

　The commentator was still looking at the direction where Lin Xuan left, without saying a word for a long time. Finally, the announcer pushed him to wake him up from his "dazed" state.

　"It's really rare that Coach Muruoto is actually in a daze." Because the first game in Zone D had already ended, the announcer started making jokes in order to liven up the atmosphere.

　"Sorry, sorry. I was so engrossed in the game that I didn't come to my senses." Muruto apologized with his hands clasped together.

　"Speaking of the match just now, everyone's really confused. How on earth did Lin Xuan manage to completely immobilize Asagi? It's truly bizarre. And he even had his spirit armor still sheathed, not unsheathed." The announcer couldn't help but voice his doubts. Not only did the announcer wonder, but most of the audience also wanted to know what exactly happened.

　"Are you talking about that (hx) one——" As he spoke, a hint of fear appeared in the depths of Muruodu's eyes, as if he was recalling the momentum that had restrained him on the field before.

　"Actually, the method that Lin Xuan used to immobilize Asagi was already used by someone else at this [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival]..."

　"Eh!? Someone has already used it!? No way, I don't have any impression of that. I didn't miss any details in the previous games." With a cry of surprise (hx), the announcer looked at Muruto in surprise.

　"It's Player Moroboshi." Muruodu sighed as if expressing emotion. "Player Lin Xuan released his aura while glancing at Player Asagi. However, compared to Player Moroboshi, Player Lin Xuan is clearly an expert in this area. He restrained his aura so that you couldn't feel it."

　"You're kidding!?" the announcer exclaimed, eyes widening. "To be able to immobilize Asagi, last year's third-place finisher, with just his aura alone, how powerful must that be? Is that something a student knight should possess?"

　"Yes, that kind of momentum is not what a student knight should possess. Perhaps the opponent's spiritual equipment is related to the spiritual aspect." As if making an excuse, Muruodu gave a far-fetched explanation.

　Although the reason was far-fetched, many contestants still believed Muruodu's explanation, because if they didn't believe it, they would have even less confidence in facing the leader of [Akatsuki Academy] - Lin Xuan.

　-

　Listening to Muru Du's far-fetched explanation, Alice wanted to tell everyone that you are all wrong. Lin Xuan's spiritual equipment ability has nothing to do with any spiritual aspect. In fact, it was completely accumulated by him bit by bit. But in the end, he still didn't say it, because it didn't make any sense. Even if he said it, what would it matter? Facing Lin Xuan, they still had no hope of victory.

　"Arisuin, tell me honestly, where does that kid get that terrifying aura? That kind of aura can't be obtained by just strength." Glancing at the direction where Lin Xuan left, Shinguji Kurono frowned tightly.

　"Accumulated through killing." Before Alice could answer, Lin Xuan, who had already approached here and heard Shinguji Kurono's question, answered her directly, but the answer was a bit cold.

　"I wonder if Chairman Shinguji is satisfied with this answer." Lin Xuan said lightly, looking at Shinguji Kurono with a forced smile.

　"..." Shinguji Kurono didn't know how to comment on Lin Xuan's answer, and could only remain silent.

　call--

　Suddenly, a whistling sound came into Lin Xuan's ears, which made Lin Xuan subconsciously take a step back. Then, Lin Xuan could see Stella's clenched fist whistling past in front of him.

　"Why can you say such words without changing your expression?" Stella clenched her fists and looked at Lin Xuan with a complicated expression.

　"What else should I say? Should I say it with a look of repentance, Stella?" Lin Xuan asked, raising his eyebrows.

　Before Stella could answer, Lin Xuan asked again, "Is it useful?"

　Like Shinguji Kurono, Stella also fell into silence.

　"Just sit down and watch the game first. If you want to teach me a lesson, wait until you really knock me down, Stella." Sitting next to Alice, Lin Xuan's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

　"Hmph!" Stella snorted softly and sat down next to Lin Xuan with an awkward look on her face. As for Shinguji Kurono, she looked at Lin Xuan's back with a complicated look, wondering what she was thinking.

　On the other side, the second game of the first round in Zone D, that is, Zhu Shizuku's game, officially began. Compared with the previous boring battle with Lin Xuan, Zhu Shizuku's battle was much more interesting. At least as a water mage, Zhu Shizuku's battle gave people a strong visual impact. Her opponent only lasted about seven minutes in her hands and could not hold on any longer (hx). In the end, she was directly frozen into an ice sculpture by Zhu Shizuku.

　The third match of the first round of the region was Daohua's match. Daohua arrived at the venue just before the match started. Afterwards, Daohua's opponent was suppressed by Daohua with [Pull the Foot] and had no ability to resist at all. He was defeated in less than three minutes. It must be said that both Daohua and Zhushizu had good luck, as they drew opponents that were easy to deal with.

　After the game, Dao Hua did not leave the venue in a hurry, but stayed on the field for a while. The reason for her stay was that she was looking at Lin Xuan who was sitting in the audience.

　Even though they were far apart, Lin Xuan could see that Dao Hua's beautiful eyes were filled with a moving determination. "What a determined look, Dao Hua."

Chapter 170

　After watching Dao Hua's match, Lin Xuan stood up and wanted to leave.

　"What? Aren't you leaving after watching the pharmacist doctor's competition?" Because of Zhu Shizuku's introduction, Stella also knew the pharmacist Wu Zi, the woman who appeared next to Lin Xuan.

　However, before Lin Xuan could answer, the announcer's broadcast had already answered for him.

　"Just now, Shionomiya announced that she would give up the competition. The fourth match of the first round in Zone D was won by Yakushi."

　wow——

　The result announced by the announcer caused heated discussion among the audience. After all, it was rare to choose to give up the game in the first round.

　"Did you make Shinomiya Tenon give up the competition?" Stella frowned as she listened to the broadcast and the discussions among the audience.

　"Do you think I would do such a boring thing?" Looking at Stella, Lin Xuan asked with a smile.

　"——No." Stella knew that Lin Xuan would not do such a thing.

　"Shinomiya's target was Ikki, but because of me, he knew that he had no chance to meet Ikki in the arena, so instead of doing useless work, he simply chose to give up the game and let Kiriko advance." After explaining the reason, Lin Xuan turned around and left.

　When Wu Zi walked out of the contestant area, he looked at Lin Xuan with confusion, as if he was doubting something about Lin Xuan.

　"It's not me, it's his own choice." Although Wu Zi didn't say it, Lin Xuan knew what Wu Zi was suspicious of, so he curled his lips and explained with a little helplessness.

　"Well, let's go. I'll help you heal your body. At least it will allow you to use your abilities a few more times." Looking at Lin Xuan, the pharmacist Wu Zi said softly.

　“——Haha” Looking at Wu Zi’s gloomy eyes, Lin Xuan laughed dryly.

　"Can we finish this early tonight? I have some things to do tonight."

　"what's up?"

　"Some personal matters."

　"Okay, but come back early and continue your treatment." Wu Zi said it lightly, like an order, without giving Lin Xuan any chance to protest.

　Although Lin Xuan didn't like being ordered around, he also knew that Wu Zi was doing this entirely for his own good, so he didn't protest or object.

　"Ok."

　-

　At eight o'clock in the evening, on a deserted street, a man wearing a monkey mask was walking silently in the shadows. Although each step he took was not big, he covered a distance of several meters with each step. The feeling was like the magical power of the immortals in mythology [shrinking the earth into an inch].

　The man stopped until he came to an empty and somewhat desolate open space. He found a relatively clean place and sat down, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and started playing with it.

　Judging from the man's appearance, he must be waiting for someone to come.

　About ten minutes later, a sound suddenly came from behind the man.

　"Lin Xuan, what is it that requires us to discuss in such a remote place?"

　I saw Kurogane Ikki's figure slowly emerging from the shadow behind the masked man.

　Looking at the back of the man in front of him, Ikki Kurogane suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

　"Hehe, Kurotate-kun, we meet again."

　When the familiar laughter sounded, Ikki Kurogane immediately understood what was going on with that bad feeling in his heart.

　"Why? You are here, but where is Lin Xuan?" Kurogane Ikki asked vigilantly, taking a quick step back and summoning his inherent spiritual outfit.

　"Lin Xuan? Are you talking about the owner of this phone?" As he said that, the masked man turned the screen of the phone in his hand to Kurogane Ikki, and on it was a text message sent to him.

　"Where are he?" Kurogane Ikki asked the masked man with an ugly look on his face.

　"If you behave well, I don't mind telling you his whereabouts." As the whisper was in his ear, Ikki Kurogane suddenly felt a pain in his neck like a needle prick.

　"Ouch!?" Covering the place where the pain appeared, Ikki Kurogane quickly fled from his original position, staring at the masked man who appeared behind him. However, when he saw the syringe-like object in the masked man's hand, his face became even worse.

　As if noticing Kurogane Ikki's gaze, the masked man waved at him with a (hx) tone of voice saying, "Don't worry."

　"Don't worry, this thing is like an energy drink. It will help you recover your strength quickly. Just inject one bottle at a time and there will be no side effects at all."

　"What exactly do you want to do?" Feeling the physical strength rapidly filling up in his body, Ikki Kurogane became more and more confused about what the masked man wanted to do.

　"Today, I went to watch your match, Mr. Heitie~~~ Honestly, Mr. Heitie, you really should thank me. Otherwise, with your original strength, you wouldn't have had any chance of winning against the previous [Seven-Star Sword King] at all."

　Not caring at all about Kurogane Ikki's suspicious look, the masked man spoke to himself.

　"Speaking of which, Mr. Black Iron, do you feel that after your battle with the Seven-Star Sword King, you feel that you are almost at the top."

　"What do you mean?" Kurogane Ikki frowned, as if he didn't understand what the masked man said.

　"No, in that case, I'll let you feel it." Laughing, a golden light bloomed in the masked man's hands, and then a golden iron rod appeared in his hand.

　"Try your best to survive, Kurogane-kun." Laughing, the masked man silently appeared in front of Kurogane Ikki and smashed the iron rod in his hand at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye. But what surprised the masked man was that Kurogane Ikki did not choose to dodge at all, but instead tried to take it head-on.

　After knowing the power contained in the iron rod, would Kurogane Ikki take it head-on? No!! So he chose not to take it head-on, but to block it with his secret sword.

　At the moment when the blade of the [Yin Iron] came into contact with the iron rod, Ikki Kurogane turned into a high-speed spinning top. After spinning his body once, he bounced back the force transmitted from the iron rod into the [Yin Iron].

　Feeling the vibration of the iron rod, the masked man praised, "Good choice, but too slow."

　As soon as he finished speaking, the iron rod hit Kurogane Ikki again. Kurogane Ikki still took it, but when he wanted to repeat the same trick and continue to use special techniques to rebound the terrifying force to the masked giant, the masked man's iron rod hit him again before he could successfully rebound the force back.

　Although some of the force was rebounded, the short time did not allow Kurogane Ikki to completely rebound the force on the iron rod. Coupled with the new force, Kurogane Ikki was directly knocked away by the iron rod.

　At the same time that Kurogane Ikki was knocked away, the masked man followed closely.

　From the beginning to now, in a short period of time, Ikki Kurogane has fallen into a fatal disadvantage.
