Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 711 A National Hero's Miraculous Turnaround Brings Four Great Joys; The Phoenix Finally Returns to the Peerless Throne

In the fourth and a half village, as Akagi re-landed in the realm of demons and gods, Nan Yan fired his gun and landed four times.

Akagi is ranked first, and Minamihiko is ranked fourth. The horse points alone would require a payment of up to 10 billion.

Adding in the point difference, Nan Yan lost over 30 billion in this game.

And Mu was also inferior to the Prime Minister, once again paying the price for his memory.

Having returned to the realm of the Land Demon God, the elderly Akagi once again showed Nanahiko what a true genius is.

At this moment, Nan Yan could feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

Mr. Washizu fought this monster to the very last moment with the mindset of fighting to the death.

The Shigeru Akagi before me has reached his peak form from back then; he is a true demon!

Soon, the fifth half-round began.

Nanyan suddenly realized that he could only passively defend against Akagi. He did not want to fall into the same predicament as when Washizu faced Akagi back then, where he fired continuously and completely squandered his Happy Beans.

After all, compared to Vasiya, he could block Akagi's attacks as long as he could defend.

However, Nan Yan soon found himself at a great disadvantage.

If you only rely on defense, you can only watch helplessly as your opponent wins by drawing a winning tile, while your own chips are constantly being depleted!
This means they have no way out.

Simultaneously.

In order to promote his Heavenly Demon Path to the world, the Prime Minister began to unleash his full power in this semi-manor.

Various extraordinary abilities, seemingly mirages, actually appeared in the fifth and a half-manor.

Owada Koizumi realized that he was already at the bottom of the table for two rounds, and had not won a single round. If he wanted to create his own Tenmododo and have the world follow him, then he had to show the power of the Tenmododo sect on this legendary night.

Otherwise, how would people know that the Heavenly Demon Path is comparable to Yu Wushuang and the Law of Cause and Effect?

In the East Wind battle of the card game, he didn't even cooperate with Akagi at all, and his continuous stream of bizarre winning hands shocked everyone.

Even when Akagi was about to win, he used his own winning hand to cut off Akagi's winning hand!
At the same time, he also used an extremely sharp hand to snipe Nan Yan's small hand and Bai Zhumu's big hand.

This brought the Prime Minister's points to 50900.

It can be described as a huge lead.

At this moment, Akagi has 35000 points, Nanyan has 14100 points, and Mu only has 0 points left.

"Sorry, Akagi, I'm taking this round!"

The Prime Minister took a deep breath.

In the previous four and a half manors, he was just an accessory, but if he wanted to carry forward the Heavenly Demon Path, he had to shine brighter than Ghost God Akagi and Nan Mengyan at some point.

Even if it's just one or two rounds!
He absolutely had to win this half-round; he had compelling reasons to do so.

"Alright, strive for first place, that's one of the powerful principles of Mahjong." Akagi put down his tiles, without complaining that the Prime Minister had intercepted his big hand.

As long as we are all striving for victory and moving forward, then we are all heading towards the same goal, no matter what path we take.

Only the strongest can win this legendary night!

Owada smiled slightly.

Although Akagi had lost fifty years of his memories, this demon mastered the game of mahjong in just one and a half rounds.

It has to be said that he was quite envious of this talent!
After all, he needed to rely on the power of evil to be able to stand on equal footing with Akagi in the field of mahjong and become his partner. If only he had such talent.

but……

As long as he establishes the Heavenly Demon Path school and guides the evil path onto the right path, then the Heavenly Demon Path will become a powerful school that can resist the law of cause and effect in the future, and it will no longer be a school with only two dominant forces!

He must win.

Just when Owada thought this fifth and a half-house would be his home turf.

He suddenly realized that something even more terrifying was at play.

That is--

Bai Zhumu!
In this fifth half of the village, the live broadcast of this legendary night has spread throughout the world, and the number of viewers is growing exponentially.

In the fifth and a half-year battle of Nanfeng, Bai Zhumu suddenly erupted.

"Yu Feng!"

Mu immediately activated the Feather Wind skill, and in the next four or five rounds, everyone could only draw the Wind card, including Akagi.

'My connection to the cards is disrupted.'

Akagi's expression changed slightly after he touched a West Wind card.

This time, the wind was completely different from before. Even he lost his sense of the cards. If he still relied on his senses to touch them, he would definitely get the wind card.

The Prime Minister was in an even worse predicament, having played countless wind tiles without making any progress in his hand.

Looking at Bai Zhumu's hand and points, Mu only had 0 points left. Although a pair can continue playing even with negative points, under this rule, once you have negative points, you cannot declare riichi, give your teammate a winning hand, or call your teammate's hand.

So if the score drops to negative, it's like the two of them losing their chemistry, and then it's all over.

There were sixteen wind tiles, and each of the three players played five.

Mu finally achieved a winning hand.

【11235799 Suo, 123 Wan, 123 Tong】, Treasure tile 7 Wan.

If you knock out one of the six ropes, you can listen to six ropes.

However, those who knew Bai Zhumu, such as Moriwaki Aina, Muku Chihiro, and Kotoji Kenya, were very clear that the more desperate the situation, the less likely Mu would resort to violence.

In the end, Bai Zhumu discarded the Five of Bamboo and continued to advance with his hand.

With each new tile drawn, she finally achieved a winning hand.

【1112399 貫, 123万, 123筒】

The winning hand is 1, 4, and 9 of the same suit.

However, since it is impossible to declare riichi, this hand can only be matched with gaomoku 19sou in a closed hand state.

Seeing that Mu had completed his hand, Nan Yan thought for a moment and then directly chose to discard the Nine of Bamboo.

Bai Zhumu naturally understood Nan Yan's actions. As long as Rong He won Nan Yan's Nine-Strokes card, she could be pulled back from the brink of defeat. However, Nan Yan's points were not high at the moment. The dealer's pure three-color 12000 points would reduce Nan Yan's points to only 2100 points.

That would put him in danger.

Therefore, Mu did not have Rong and Nan Yan.

In the end, Bai Zhumu still managed to complete the "One-Touch Win" by relying on his own strength!

"Self-draw, pure three colors, 6000 points for each player!"

With this game, Mu was pulled back from the brink of death, and with the added bonus of a self-draw, the hand achieved a full house and he took back 12000 points from his opponent!
After taking a picture of the main bat of the game.

Bai Zhumu sensed the flow of fortune and momentum on the field.

She knew very well that no one was eternally strong or eternally weak. Everyone was moving towards a certain balance between strength and weakness in a dynamic process. In this round, Nan Yan's aura had weakened, while the Prime Minister's and Akagi's auras were terrifyingly strong.

Since that's the case, then she'll use her own strength to win this round!

This is why Nan Yan chose her as his partner!

One-piece set of nine-piece sets.

Akagi didn't feel the influence of the wind at the beginning, but he knew very well that the girl could completely control the timing of the wind.

In fact, there is a way to counter this ability, which is to use the method of waiting for the wind tile to arrive, and then draw the wind tile yourself.

If you want to play a single wind tile, then the Seven Pairs is a very useful tile.

But in this round, his hand was completely neutral, which made Akagi slightly disappointed.

Soon, Akagi was the first to reach the winning hand.

[Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight thousand; six, seven, eight bamboo; three, four, five rope; south]

Looking at Bai Zhumu's hand, it seemed to be a small seven-pair hand, with two treasure tiles and nine of bamboo, and three pairs that couldn't be matched.

This hand is either a small seven pairs or a four concealed triplets, but obviously, the seven pairs are more likely.

Now that his hand is close to winning, his opponent will probably start using the ability of the Feather Wind. So let's use this wind to complete the self-draw!
Subsequently, Akagi played 80,000 and singled out South Wind.

He knew very well that Bai Zhumu would definitely use his abilities.

As for why only the south wind is considered?

He knew this card was a card of closeness to Nan Mengyan, but he had a black card in his hand, so his perception would be much weaker. Therefore, if he was waiting for a wind card, he could easily make a mistake.

But what Akagi didn't expect was that Shiroki not only activated the Feather Wind, but also threw out the Riichi Stick to announce Riichi the moment the ability was activated!
Everyone looked at Bai Zhumu's card.

The discard pile contained mostly middle tiles, and his hand consisted of a very large set of terminal and honor tiles. However, he ended up discarding a 1 of bamboo, and his riichi declaration tile was also a terminal and honor tile, a 1 of bamboo.

Then why use Yufeng?
The answer is obvious.

Bai Zhumu planned to blow useless wind tiles into the hands of other players, while she deliberately waited for a single wind tile, so that she could win against them.

However, after getting a six of bamboo, Akagi's lips curled up slightly.

The six of bamboo tiles was played by Bai Zhumu before, and it is currently in existence.

Whether it's a six or a nine of bamboo, the opponent will discard it as soon as they draw it, giving them a chance to strike directly.

Furthermore, he was certain that Bai Zhumu's single-tile wind tile was not the South wind.

After all, Nanfeng only has two black cards. He drew one, and Bai Zhumu doesn't have Nanfeng's affinity ability, so the probability of her drawing the other Nanfeng black card is extremely small.

Akagi keenly realized that if he didn't stop Shirazuki from winning, she could keep winning indefinitely, so he had to take the risk.

He then played the South Wind tile, completing his hand with the six and nine of bamboo, and successfully won with the South Wind tile.

Moreover, the Prime Minister has a six of bamboo in his hand, which he can use to win at any time.

In that case, Bai Zhumu would have no chance to perform a straight move.

At the same time, Minami also threw out a riichi stick, announcing that he had riichi!

This is one way to put pressure on them.

At this moment, Nanyan had a pair of exposed tiles of 7-8 of bamboo, and it was almost certain that he had a riichi nomi with no yaku.

Immediately afterwards, the Prime Minister slipped in a nine of bamboo.

He immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although Nanyan's hand is trash, if he lets Akagi win, then this kid will intercept it, which is a perfect riichi and e-ho. And who knows if this guy with no shiki (a type of special ability) will hit three hidden treasures and win directly.

Of course, firing at Nanyan is also an option.

This would indeed eliminate Bai Zhumu's position as the dealer, but it would make his position less secure.

He had to win this half-manor, otherwise, the founder of the Heavenly Demon Path had never won a single one on the Night of Legends, wouldn't that make him inherently inferior?
Ultimately, the Prime Minister did not choose to fire at Nam Yeon, but instead opted to defend by dismantling his own defense.

But he will soon regret his actions.

In the next round, Bai Zhumu won by drawing the winning tile himself.

The Prime Minister felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the opponent draw the winning tile himself.

And it was another blank page!
Riichi, a small seven against dora2, and each of them gets 6100 points again.

In the second game of the first inning of the South, Akagi, with an unremarkable performance, drew with Shiro.

Another hand of 30 cards, with only 1000 points plus 600 points from the second round, but this hand made Nanyan very uncomfortable.

There was a similar deck of cards before.

A priceless set of 30 talismans caused him and Bai Zhumu heavy losses.

It happened again!

But with only three rounds left, the highly anticipated live broadcast reached unprecedented levels of popularity. At this moment, Bai Zhumu, having a bird's-eye view of the entire situation, had already seen through everything.

Her ancient battle trio has once again proven its power.

In the South Second Round, the red peacocks, in full swing, blew up Akagi's dealer.

In the Southern Third Bureau, the Golden Rooster Stands Alone, which blew up the Prime Minister's estate.

We've arrived at the South Fourth Round, the last round of the fifth half-round.

【一一索，五五筒，南南南】，副露【一一一筒，中中中，宝牌五筒】

Listen to the flowers, birds, wind, and moon of the Yi Suo and Wu Tong.

But Bai Zhumu's ancient three-strike technique eventually reached the point of being completely blocked.

This made her lips tremble slightly.

Despite having a Red Dragon, a South Wind, a pair of pairs, and a Dora 2, a seven-point hand with a full house, regardless of whether she drew the winning tile herself, she would still have 38600 points, ranking first.

If she wins by drawing the winning tile herself, she will be able to take the first half-win position.

but.
Nanyan only has 13100 points. Even if she draws a perfect score and causes Akagi to lose 3000 points, Akagi's final score is 13500 points. Although he is third in the rankings, he is still one position higher than Nanyan.

Therefore, she cannot draw this tile herself; instead, she must draw either of the remaining two five-bamboo tiles. As long as she draws one, she can win together with Nan Yan.

Thinking this, Bai Zhumu picked up the bamboo slip that he had already drawn himself.

She's going to gamble, hoping she can draw any of the five tiles!
"Mu, that phoenix belongs to you, so let's keep her."

Nan Yan shook his head.

He knew Bai Zhumu's thoughts, of course, but he still hoped she would touch herself. If he wasn't mistaken, he had already calculated everything that would happen after that 30-talisman mix-up with Akagi Sakae.

If Mu doesn't draw the winning tile now, it's likely that the Prime Minister will win.

In this way, the prime minister will be able to achieve one position, whether it is him or Muhammad, who will be one position behind.

So, once again, Akagi dealt them a heavy loss with a single hand of 30 tokens.

"Let's just use self-touching instead..."

As Nan Yan spoke, Bai Zhumu hesitated for a moment, then without a moment's hesitation, slammed the rope heavily onto the table.

She knew very well that she would probably never be able to touch the five of bamboo, which symbolizes flowers in the world of flowers, birds, wind, and moon.

"Self-draw, 3000/6000 points!"

The fifth and a half-year tournament ended with Bai Zhumu taking first place.

However, in his matchup against Akagi, Minami lost to this demon by a mere 400 points, ultimately finishing in fourth place.

Four people in two and a half rounds.

Anyone who has ever played against Nan Yan knows how terrifying this result is.

"Has Nan Yan ever finished fourth in a main competition?"

“I checked his competition record. He had one or two county-level competitions, but there were no more records of him finishing fourth after the national competition.”

"Even in training matches during training camps, there aren't four players. We've probably only lost two or three times in casual games during our free time."

"This is Kitagawa Kumi, the undefeated master of the underworld. In this legendary battle, he was knocked down to fourth place twice from the half-management level. It can only be said that a demon is a demon after all. Even such a peerless genius is no match for a demon."

"Is this how it's going to end? Are the gods and demons truly invincible mahjong gods that mortals cannot defeat?"

"The invincible youth in the World Youth Championship, the genius who can dominate the underworld, is ultimately just a mortal in the face of gods and demons."

"..."

The sixth and a half village.

This is the last half-round.

Both sides opted for a short break without prior arrangement.

"Akagi."

After taking a sip of tea, the Prime Minister recalled Akagi's bizarre combination of 30 talismans, and considering that he was only 400 points behind Nanyan in the end, he couldn't help but ask.

Are you even human?

"Why would you ask that?" Akagi looked over in surprise.

"I can assure you that you have indeed lost fifty years of memories, memories that span your entire life. And because you only retained the key parts that shaped your personality, the rest of your memories should be fragmented. Yet, in just a few minutes, you pieced together your memories, knew what you were going to do next, and instantly understood everything about mahjong."

The Prime Minister's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. "I actually feel like I'm not human anymore, more like a monster."

I hold immense power in the Japanese political arena, possess the combined abilities of tens of thousands of mahjong players, and have the faith of hundreds of millions of people. Sometimes I feel as if I have transcended my mortal body and become an extraordinary being.

But in front of you all, I feel like an outsider.

Is it because I'm still too human, or are you all not human at all?

Looking back, the Prime Minister finds it all unbelievable.

With his abilities, he could dominate any game, but here, he couldn't even get a single win.

This second place finish was the result of his best efforts.

Here is a causal old monster who almost never fires a gun and can see the future; a ghost girl who feels no pain or sensation no matter how many memories she loses; and a peerless young man with terrifying luck who can win every time.

He could no longer distinguish whether he was in reality or in a fantasy.

"Does becoming a ghost mean giving up one's human nature?" the Prime Minister couldn't help but ask.

Here, he's the only one who seems more like a human being!
"I do not know."

Akagi lit a cigarette and watched the smoke rise quietly. "But I have a subtle feeling that the spirits are like this cigarette. If it hadn't been lit, it wouldn't be so intoxicating."

Only when it is ignited can one be transformed into a god and achieve spiritual sublimation.

In fact, I can tell you one thing clearly: only on that legendary night, and at this very moment tonight, do I experience the wonderful feeling of being on top of the world. Most of the time, I'm just a muddled, clueless, ignorant, and boring old man.

"..."

The Prime Minister was speechless, his eyes filled with deep shock.

Only on that legendary night, and at this moment tonight, is Akagi the true demon god.

"You mean to say that there are no eternal ghosts or gods in this world, and that only by burning oneself out under certain specific conditions can one possess the power of a ghost or god? Then what is the point of the ghosts and gods that people pursue?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it seems your understanding of ghosts and spirits is not profound enough."

Akagi laughed upon hearing this, "A person's lifespan is but a fleeting moment, and it may only take a blink of an eye before their time comes."

Even so, can the people of this world truly understand the meaning of life?
Perhaps the Prime Minister, with his high position and great power, is unable to empathize with the suffering of ordinary people, but I have truly experienced it firsthand.

During those days when I experienced the suffering of mortals, I only felt that my life was passing by meaninglessly, whether it was a year or ten years, it made no difference.

Every day and night, every hour and every second, it's all repetitive and meaningless work, aimlessly moving forward for a pittance of money.

But the Prime Minister probably doesn't know that the vast majority of people in this world lead such dull and uninteresting lives; this is the vast majority.

The true meaning of ghosts and gods is to make this utterly boring life bloom with incomparably brilliant flowers, and to make one's empty and hollow life burn with the most dazzling light.

I believe that everyone in this world who is willing to dedicate their life and burn their passion to a cause they consider great, whether they succeed or fail, is no longer an insignificant human being once they take that first step. At that moment, they become true gods and spirits.

If you're not willing to risk everything for the most important moment of your life, what's the point of living?

You agree, Your Excellency…

Upon hearing these words, Owada Koizumi remained silent for a long time.

Human life?

It seems he has never experienced this kind of life.

Although he always talks about fairness, does he really understand the ordinary people at the bottom of society?

No, he simply cannot understand.

After all, he was born the son of a politician, and he would never know the extent to which a mortal would have to burn himself out to become a god.

Akagi, an ordinary person with no bloodline, no background, and no wealth, was able to reach a level that made him look up to him. Perhaps, besides talent, there was also a difference in their level of thinking.

"You really are crazy. Those two are probably the same. Maybe that's the difference between us."

Owada Koizumi sighed deeply, "I really can't understand what ghosts and gods are right now. After this matter is settled, in the next ten years, I will go alone to the lowest level of Japan to personally experience what you called 'the radiance of ghosts and gods emanating from mortals.' I hope that this will help me find the real answer."

Yes, as a politician, he truly longed for ordinary people to receive genuine fairness.

But he was no ordinary person and had never been to the lowest levels of society in the country.

Owada Koizumi, who held great power, could not imagine the divine light that those mortals, as described by Akagi, emitted by burning themselves.

He can only experience it for himself in the future and verify that what Akagi said is true.

at the same time.

Nan Yan, who had already failed twice, sat quietly in the lounge. For some reason, after failing twice, he felt no anxiety, pain, or urgency, but instead felt incredibly peaceful.

Bai Zhumu watched him quietly, holding a cup of black tea brought by a waiter. She was about to take a sip when she put it down again.

"Nan Yan, you could have avoided it just now."

Yes, as long as she plays a single move, Nanyan can defeat her. Although her points will fall to second place, Nanyan can still defeat Akagi in the head-to-head matchup.

She doesn't understand.

This legendary night was clearly a battle between him and Akagi, meaning that the difference in their matchup was more crucial than the difference between her and the Prime Minister.

Why did he ultimately choose to give up?

"Mu, when you first met me, what differences did you see between me then and now?" Nan Yan asked.

"Um"

Bai Zhumu remained silent for a long time before Tan Tan replied, "I'm sorry, I've forgotten when we first met."

"..."

Nan Yan's gaze trembled slightly.

Although Nan Yan had long guessed that Bai Zhumu was able to resist the effect of memory deletion through some means, this approach must have side effects, as she no longer remembered some things.

"However, I still retain some feelings; I haven't lost them."

The girl smiled slightly, "If my feeling is not wrong, I think when I first met you, you were more divine than you are now. The you of the past seemed to give me a feeling of coldness and loneliness."

Bai Zhumu's feeling was correct.

She first met Nan Yan at the national competition.

That's when she noticed the boy.

Even though the memory has been lost, the feelings that were born at that time have not completely disappeared.

"Maybe so."

Nan Yan muttered to himself, as if talking to himself, "I used to be arrogant towards everyone and everything in this world. I thought I was above everything in this world. I treated everything indifferently, after all, I never belonged here."

But I don't know when, I've been influenced by this world, and I no longer possess that divinity I once had.

In fact, a long time ago, Nanyan had already realized that he was being influenced by this world.

From the very first time he met Monk Wo, this shamanic master told him that the path to becoming a ghost or god was accompanied by loneliness.

He also knew that his arrogance and contempt for the world back then made him a natural candidate for becoming a god or spirit.

He doesn't care about anyone or anything around him.

As someone outside this world, he is above everything in this world.

This sense of aloofness and solitude, which transcends all else, is precisely the characteristic possessed by deities.

But he was gradually assimilated by the world and influenced by those around him, and he lost his former divinity.

Bai Zhumu seemed oblivious to Nan Yan's complex emotions and cut to the chase: "Nan Yan, you're not from this world, are you?"

Nan Yan smiled but did not answer directly.

In fact, even without being told, Mu already knew everything about him.

He is indeed not a human from this world.

"So, I've always had a misconception, which is that I still think I'm lonely, that I'm all alone, and that I still have divinity."

In reality, I already have many friends around me, people I like, and many people who love me. I may not like this world that much anymore, but I am no longer lonely, nor do I reject this world.

However, it wasn't until the fifth and a half round was over that I realized what had happened.

I have clearly lost the power I once possessed, which is called divinity, yet I still fight Akagi using the same old methods, which is why I was unable to defeat him in the first two and a half rounds.

But in exchange, I now possess a great power born from a deep connection with this world; this power might be called a bond.

Everyone I come into contact with forms a bond that cannot be erased by any law. This includes Akagi, the Prime Minister, and of course, you.

Nan Yan was somewhat moved.

He used to despise those action-packed anime where the protagonist constantly shouts about friendship, family, and passion, and then suddenly has unlimited health and mana to fight the BOSS.

But undeniably, this is also part of humanity's greatness.

Losing divinity leads to gaining humanity.

If he, now possessing humanity, still existed in the past, he would never be able to defeat the demon Akagi.

He must defeat God in a human way!
The bonds...

Bai Zhumu savored this somewhat nostalgic word. Perhaps she once longed for the power that bonds brought her, but now she no longer remembers those people with whom she once had bonds.

Suddenly, she felt her slightly cold little hands being held in Nan Yan's warm palms.

"So from now on, I will continue to fight alongside the girl with whom I share a deep bond to defeat the most powerful enemy before us," Nan Yan said earnestly.

Bai Zhumu blinked her bewildered eyes, then quickly understood Nan Yan's affectionate words, and couldn't help but protest slightly, "Don't say such things at a time like this!"

"If we don't say it now, we might never have the chance again." Nan Yan's eyes rippled.

Seeing Nan Yan smile without saying a word, she felt the warmth emanating from his palm.

This warm feeling, perhaps, is the power of bonds.
.
After a short rest.

The sixth half of the game is finally about to begin.

The legendary battle will be decided in this final half of the game!

"For this final half-game, I won't use money as a stake anymore; I'll bet my memories and my blood!" Nan Yan stated his demand.

Even though he still had a lot of money left to spend, he still chose to gamble with his memories and blood.

Upon hearing Nanyan's words, Akagi seemed to have anticipated it.

He knew very well that this young man would go all out in this final half of the village and fight him to the death, and he wasn't surprised at all.

After all, when Akagi first met this boy, he sensed that the boy had the same gambler's temperament as him.

“Then I also want to propose a new rule, which is that from now on, whether it’s a straight win or a self-draw, chips must be paid out directly.” Akagi also put forward his request.

"Right on my mind."

Nanyan and Akagi seemed to understand each other perfectly.

Since we're going to play, let's go big on this last half-banker!
“What a pity, Minamihiko.” Akagi’s throat bobbed. “Perhaps you are more suited to inherit my legacy than the authority of the Washi family.”

“But if I didn’t have the power of the Eagle Nest, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” Nan Yan said firmly.

Akagi nodded slightly: "Yes, if it weren't for the authority of the Eagle Nest, you wouldn't be able to stand on equal footing with us, but you are indeed very suitable for the law of cause and effect."

In his view, Nan Yan's adaptability to the law of causality is far greater than that of Yu Wushuang.

If he weren't cursed, he could have easily become the second causal deity.

Upon hearing that Nanyan would use his memories and blood instead of money, Owada Koizumi remained silent.

He finally realized the gap between himself and these people, and at this moment he really couldn't bring himself to expend his blood and sweat to play this game of mahjong.

Because he knew he might die!
He simply didn't dare gamble with his own life.

Perhaps that's why he couldn't understand Akagi's statement, 'Even mortals can radiate the brilliance of gods and demons.'

He never experienced an ordinary life.

Therefore, he dared not gamble everything like an ordinary person would!
In this round, Nan Yan also drew his destined South Wind position.

Koizumi Yamada from the east family, Haku Tsumu from the west family, and Shigeru Akagi from the north family.

The final battle was fought at a breakneck pace.

At the very beginning of the game, the Prime Minister discarded a West Wind tile, a special tile, and immediately lost.

"Rong, Xiaoqi against dora2 red dora2, 12000 points."

The people of Ōwada were dumbfounded; they had just played one card when they were caught off guard by Nanhiko.

Moreover, Nan Yan's hand not only consisted of ten black cards, but also a single black West Wind and two red Treasure cards. He thought that since the West Wind in his hand was a Treasure card, he could not use it and should play it as soon as possible. However, he ended up discarding the first card and losing!
Twelve thousand points.

If I agree not to use money as a bargaining chip, then they will take away twelve years of my memories and 1200cc of my brain. What's more, this is just the beginning!
The prime minister suddenly realized that he didn't dare to work that hard at all.

Soon after, when Minamihiko was in charge, Akagi threw out the riichi stick and announced riichi.

Although Nanyan knew that Akagi's goal was to defeat his dealer, so he chose to declare riichi first, and was probably waiting for a side-kan-tak hand, he still decisively chose to charge forward!
The next tile, a seven of bamboo, was also a winning hand for Akagi's edge seven of bamboo. He only had a riichi nomi (ready to declare riichi), but he won two rido tiles, for a total of 5200 points.

"I choose to lose five years of my memory."

Like Bai Zhumu, Nan Yan also paid with his memories.

In fact, this was something he did intentionally.

If his memories of his past life were the secret to his strength when he first came to this world, now that he has a connection with this world, those memories have become a burden, a repulsive force that makes him resist integrating into this world.

Therefore, he wants to sever all ties with his past life in order to embrace his present self.

The moment Nan Yan opened his eyes after his memories were extracted, his expression became incredibly relaxed.

really
Just as he thought, the extracted memories could be controlled.

Therefore, his burdensome memories from his past life could become his bargaining chip in defeating Akagi!
Next, Bai Zhumu became the dealer, and after Akagi reached the ready hand, Nan Yan also immediately made a move, this time jumping to a maximum of 12000 points, still a memory from twelve years ago.

The Prime Minister frowned slightly; these people were all incredibly reckless.

Nan Yan only has eighteen years of memories, yet he was the first to use his memories as a bargaining chip.

One time it was five years, the other time it was twelve years. Has he gone mad?!

However, this was Nanyan's tactic.

In this final half-round, he can't afford to have a protracted battle with Akagi; he must speed up the game and not let the end take too long.

With Akagi taking the lead, Nanyan quickly cooperated with Shirozuki, and with a small hand of 30 tokens, they managed to get past Akagi's lead.

The arrival of the south wind field.

First, Nanyan's three-point hand caused Akagi to lose 1000 points.

Although he had only lost 100cc of blood, Akagi already felt weak and powerless.

The Washizu Rock of that time was probably fighting him with a body just like his now.

Although his soul and spirit were incredibly excited, his body simply couldn't take it anymore.

If Vasily had been able to finish that final hand of cards back then, perhaps he would have been the one to lose.

Akagi thought to himself.

If possible, he must hold on until the very last moment.

He already had a premonition that tonight's final game might allow him to recreate that unparalleled hand from back then!

In the second round of the South, Nan Yan continued to play Riichi with Akagi and made a direct attack, which resulted in another shot being fired by Akagi, bringing the score to 5200 points.

Nan Yan continued to pay for more than five years of memories.

The Prime Minister looked at Nam Yeon with a hint of fear in his expression.

In the Prime Minister's eyes, each time Nam Mun-yan loses his memory, he becomes stronger!
Despite the fact that Nanyan had mostly lost in this half-round, and was at a huge disadvantage in terms of chips, while Akagi only lost 100cc due to Nanyan's self-draw, the difference in their situations was like night and day.

There are only two rounds left.

Akagi only needs to persevere to the end to win.

Nan Yan clearly wasn't going to let the last two rounds end so easily.

In the third round of the South, the dealer is Bai Zhumu.

Treasure Brand Nine of Bamboo.

Akagi's hand is almost entirely made up of black cards.

Nan Yan, who was only eighteen years old, burned away twenty-two years of his memories out of thin air. Obviously, Nan Yan's memories were also strange, but the total amount of his memories was definitely limited.

Like Bai Zhumu, the loss of her memories has already affected her to some extent.

Therefore, Nan Yan is probably at his last gasp now.

However, he needs to directly attack Nan Yan's stronger hand and break through Nan Yan's memory bank before he can achieve final victory in the final four rounds.

Akagi estimated that he would need a hand of at least a Grand Slam to challenge Minamihiko.

Moreover, he drew a black card in this round, which was perfect for targeting Nan Yan.

Then the battle of attack and defense between Akagi and Minamihiko officially began.

At this moment, Akagi, who possessed the ability to perceive ghosts and gods, could already sense the direction of Nanahiko's card draw.

Nan Yan will definitely draw a lot of Wan tiles next.

However, Akagi knew very well that with his luck, he needed to take a long time to catch a big fish.

He quietly cut out the bamboo and dot tiles in the early stages, giving Nan Yan the impression that he was making a mixed suit of character tiles.

As expected, Nan Yan quickly started discarding tiles, playing bamboo and dots but not characters.

This means that Nan Yan had figured out the strength of his hand beforehand and deliberately used his chips to help Bai Zhumu withstand the damage, while speeding up the pace of the game.

The reason is very simple.

For example, if Nan Yan in the second round of the South Court wins a 5200-point three-card hand, and he wins by self-draw, then he would win an extra point for a self-drawn hand with a clean hand, which would be 2000/4000 points.

Nan Yan will lose 4000 points, and Bai Zhumu will lose 2000 points.

Now that Mu's bargaining chips are in jeopardy, if Nan Yan fires the shot, he can reduce some of the losses.

This kid has actually calculated exactly how much damage he can withstand.

But in this round, he started to avoid using his own gun.

Akagi's hand appears to be a mixed suit of Wan suits, which means that Nanhiko cannot continue to withstand a hand of grand slam or higher.

Once Akagi understood the approximate range that Minamihiko could handle, he was able to better design the game.

In the middle of the game, he quickly took away the Fortune and North Wind cards played by Dahetian, and then opened a Kong with Fortune, revealing an Eight of Characters.

Nan Yan quickly drew a new tile, the Nine of Characters, and then kept it in his hand without playing it.

Moreover, every tile he drew was a transparent Wan tile, almost forming a single continuous piece.

In the end, Nan Yan had almost all transparent Wan cards in his hand, leaving only two face-down cards.

Those two hidden tiles were undoubtedly honor tiles.

After all, Akagi might have a mixed suit of Wan tiles, so the Zi tiles would also be quite dangerous.

Therefore, all three of Nan Yan's attempts to sneak in were intercepted.

At this point, Akagi had also noticed the changes in Nanyan's hand.

Soon, Nan Yan's hand will be empty, and without any safe cards, he will inevitably have to play a card that would give him a chance to win.

Akagi was like a hunter chasing its prey, patiently waiting for Minami to fall into his trap.

His hand at this moment consists of [3, 4, 5 of Wan; 1, 7, 8, 9 of Tong].

Nine of Bamboo is a transparent dot, but One, Seven, and Eight of Bamboo and Three and Five of Characters are concealed tiles.

The deliberate leak of 40,000 was also carefully planned. This way, Nan Yan wouldn't worry about the possibility of a misfire, and would feel safe firing it.

From Nan Yan's perspective, playing the Nine of Bamboo would result in a discard that would be a winning tile, and playing the Characters tile would also have the potential to result in a winning tile.

At this moment, Nan Yan's hand consisted of [6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9 of Wan, 1, 9 of Tong, and West West], with only three black tiles.

Soon, Nan Yan drew an eight of bamboo, and then, as if he was unsure, began to ponder for a long time.

Clearly, the Eight of Bamboo is also within the attack range.

If Akagi has the following hand numbers: 3450,000 and 79999 of the same suit, he will also suffer a severe punishment.

In the end, Nan Yan indeed played the transparent one in his hand.

However, Akagi still did not discard any cards from his hand.

If we discard the cards now, this hand will only have three points, which is not enough.

Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the riverbed is reached before it is possible to break through Nanyan's memory bank.

Next, Nan Yan drew a black tile, then discarded a black tile of the same suit (like a 1 of Bamboo) and fired again!

Akagi remained unmoved, like a mountain.

His intuition was probably right; the last card would most likely be a one of bamboo.

Having already defended for two rounds, Nan Yan still doesn't have a single absolutely safe card in his hand. Therefore, Nan Yan will follow his experience and will definitely play the transparent one of bamboo that he drew last.

Furthermore, in this round, Akagi did not call out the last card.

If Nan Yan were to draw the last card in the bottom of the sea by calling the card, then Nan Yan would definitely be on guard. So he called the card in advance so that the last card in the bottom of the sea would fall into Nan Yan's hands ahead of time.

Only in this way can we leave no trace.

No one would have guessed that he had made arrangements so far in advance.

If he cannot control the overall situation, then his move is flawless!

Nan Yan could never have imagined that the "One of Bamboo" tile, which he had played safely twice, would still be an extremely dangerous "Gun" tile at the bottom of the river!
After all, Akagi hadn't changed his hand before the game ended in a draw.

"So you can sense it too?"

Just then, Nan Yan suddenly spoke up.

Akagi looked up at Minami, who hadn't said a word throughout the game.

For some reason, Akagi suddenly felt something strange. He seemed to sense that Nanyan's hand, which was reaching for the card, suddenly seemed to be frozen in time and space, becoming incredibly slow, yet filled with boundless power.

At that moment, a blonde girl who looked like an angel placed her hand on Nan Yan's arm, as if she were transferring her strength to him!

His hand seemed to reach out into the endless, dark night sky, and then plucked the moon from the bottom of the sea for the girl from the endless darkness.

It was exactly the same scene that Akagi had foreseen, but there was only one difference.

Nan Yan didn't play his card; instead, he slammed it onto the table.

[6789990,000, 23789 of bamboo, Xi Xi], draw the bottom of the sea with a bamboo!
"Finding the moon from the sea!"

Nanyan touched the moon on the seabed, and the transparent tube reflected Akagi's puzzled face.

But Akagi quickly recalled everything and realized what had happened.

"So you knew all along that I was listening to Yitong."

"You knew all along that I would find a tube at the bottom of the sea."

That's right, Nanyan knew that Akagi was waiting for a "One of Bamboo" tile, and Akagi also predicted that Nanyan would draw a "One of Bamboo" tile from the bottom of the sea. However, Akagi did not expect that Nanyan had actually already drawn the tile himself, but he chose to discard it to gamble, betting that Akagi would not win.

In the end, Nan Yan made the right bet!
“You need to catch fish at the bottom of the river to achieve a perfect score, but I also need to try to catch the moon in the sea,” Nan Yan said frankly.

Akagi asked with some doubt, "Aren't you afraid I'll beat Eiwa to the punch?"

“If it were before, I would.”

Nan Yan nodded. "I have always regarded you as my biggest enemy and the opponent I need to defeat the most. So I have always looked up to you and calculated your every move with hostility."

But now I realize that if I consider you my friend, I suddenly find that the terrifying threat posed by your every calculation and the oppressive feeling caused by the ingenious design of the powerful demons have vanished in this moment.

"I don't see you as an enemy now, Akagi."

Akagi let out a long sigh.

Oh my friend……

He hadn't heard those two words from his opponents in so many years.

Or rather, from the moment he stepped into the underworld, no rival considered him a friend.

Even Angang and Nango were not his friends; their relationship was merely one of mutual exploitation.

If Akagi wins by jumping to the maximum and then drawing the winning tile, he needs to pay 3000 points.

"A year's worth of memories, plus 200cc of blood."

When it came time to settle the score, Akagi used his last remaining memories and blood to pay the 3000 points.

The game has now entered its final four rounds.

"Let's use this last game to decide the winner!"

In this fateful battle, Akagi felt his dwindling blood still flowing gently.

He could feel the meaning of his life, just like when he met Nan Yan back then, he had a premonition that there would be a battle between the two of them!
Akagi could sense that dark clouds were beginning to rise behind Nanyan. He had seen the same scene behind that old man who was on his last legs.

The dark cloud was gradually gathering, growing thicker and thicker.

Akagi knew that once the dark clouds behind Nanyan gathered, something terrible would happen.

He seized the opportunity and drew a matching tile from the hole in the deck.

Every card Akagi drew was a pair of bamboo, just like in the final battle years ago. But this time, he drew three nines of bamboo, and none of the ones of bamboo that symbolized the phoenix.

On the contrary, Nan Yan drew different terminal and honor tiles every time he drew a tile.

As Akagi drew his ninth bamboo tile, a neat and orderly bamboo suit with multiple sides was formed, forming the initial shape of a ready hand.

The same applies to Nan Yan.

With one of each of the following nine suits—one of each of the four suits (suo, wan, tong, yang, xi, feng)—there are already nine possible draws with nine different sets of nine-tile combinations.

Even more terrifying is that once Nan Yan touches the white hair and the nine ropes, he will become the thirteen-faced hero of the nation, just like before.

For Akagi and the Prime Minister, it's another dead end!

"No, this time we will absolutely not let you succeed!"

The Prime Minister draws two blank cards at the start of the game.

He would never let Nan Yan touch the remaining four blank cards.

Immediately afterwards, Akagi also drew a blank card and a two-swipe card.

In this way, as long as Nan Yan doesn't draw the last blank tile, he still has hope.

The final battle of the legendary night actually began as early as when the cards were drawn.

At this moment, it was the Prime Minister's turn to draw a card.

He knew very well that with Nan Yan's terrible luck, the white tile would automatically fall into his hand the moment it was his turn to draw a tile, so he had to hold onto the white tile firmly.

With his control over the white card, the Prime Minister finally managed to grab it with perfect accuracy, and by taking advantage of the empty hand effect, he also managed to take the lightest and last card of all, the Nine of Bamboo.

In this way, he can not only cooperate with Akagi, but also prevent Nanyan from having a winning hand and thus will be unable to win no matter what!
When the Prime Minister brought up Jiu Suo and Bai Ban, Bai Zhumu's expression changed slightly.

This means that Nan Yan's "Peerless Hero" strategy is no longer viable, and he can't even reach the point of being able to win.

Furthermore, Nan Yan's character is so deeply entrenched that it is extremely difficult to change his ways!
However, Nan Yan's face did not change much at this moment; he simply closed his eyes slowly.

In that instant, a heavenly, enchanting voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue.

Akagi suddenly saw that the dark clouds behind Nanyan had condensed into the image of an old man, who seemed to be grinning at Akagi and letting out a chilling laugh.

—Since Heaven has given you this hand of cards, it means that this hand was never meant to be a perfect match.

—Go, Nan Yan, go and tell the world how Yu Wushuang draws cards!

Nan Yan opened his eyes again, his expression cold and his eyes filled with a murderous aura.

He drew a card at the start, and got an East Wind and a West Wind.

The moment they saw the two cards, Akagi and the Prime Minister felt a chill run down their spines.

Although it is extremely difficult for a player with the "Peerless Hero" skill to change his winning hand, with the cooperation of a teammate, Nan Yan can instantly discard the East, South, West, and North tiles to complete a four-handed winning hand with the "Big Four Joys" revealed!

Therefore, the Prime Minister must try his best to draw the wind card next.

"Yu Feng!"

Just then, Bai Zhumu activated Feather Wind.

This time, the wind blew towards her.

She quickly drew two different wind tiles.

Next, trouble fell into the hands of Akagi and the Prime Minister. If they wanted to defeat Minami, they had to ensure that Akagi did not draw any wind tiles as much as possible, while the Prime Minister drew as many wind tiles as possible. This way, Akagi could quickly form a pure suit without the interference of wind tiles.

Then, Akagi touched two 1-string coins, which could be described as exceptionally perfect.

Back then, Akagi was able to fight against the peerless Washiu, so he must have been blessed with great luck.

At this moment, Akagi's hand is not only ready to win, but also allows him to cooperate with the Prime Minister.

If the Prime Minister draws the wind card that Namyan needs, his chances of winning will increase significantly!

The Prime Minister took action and quickly obtained both an East Wind and a North Wind.

This means that the probability of Nan Yan drawing a wind tile has further decreased.

However, for Yu Wushuang, probability is nothing more than a placebo for ordinary people.

True warriors never believe in probability!

Finally, it was Nanyan's turn to draw the last card.

At this moment, Akagi seemed to see that Minamihiko's almost solidified Washizu Rock was looking at him at the same time, grinning with the same chilling maniacal laughter as before, before slowly gazing at Minamihiko, revealing a hint of almost benevolent earnest expectation in that maniacal laughter.

In that instant, Nan Yan's hand transformed into a black hurricane, sweeping towards the black hole.

A black card and the last card of the North Wind both fell into his hands.

Akagi looked up at the black card: "That's a South Wind, right?"

Nan Yan didn't speak, but both Akagi and the Prime Minister were perfectly clear that the black wind card Nan Yan had drawn was undoubtedly Nan Feng.

If Bai Zhumu sends Hu, then Nan Yan can quickly reach the ready hand.

Subsequently, Akagi decisively cooperated with the Prime Minister.

Although Akagi can listen to multiple sides of the divination, he has to wait for another round. He must race against time with Nan Yan now, otherwise, if he and Bai Zhumu cooperate, they will surely lose!

Subsequently, Akagi and the Prime Minister worked together to launch a series of attacks.

After Akagi discarded the nine of bamboo, he then discarded the five of bamboo, bringing his hand to a ready hand.

【1122224】

If the Prime Minister can get the three stripes, then there is no doubt that he has won.

However, Bai Zhumu already has two, or even three, of the three tiles. The Prime Minister must draw the last tile from the hole.

However, the Prime Minister did not bring up the three strands that were completely blocked.

Then it was Nan Yan's turn to draw a card. After drawing a hidden card, he quickly cooperated with Bai Zhumu.

East winds, west winds, and north winds successively emerged.

From abandoning the national treasure to reaching the ready hand, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Then, after Bai Zhumu drew a card, a hint of surprise appeared on her expression.

Then a random card was drawn, and it was finally Akagi's turn to draw a card.

Akagi started with a lucky draw, drawing a bamboo tile, but it had one more than the three bamboo tiles that he could win by drawing it himself.

It's a four-card sequence!
Akagi finally understood that the last three ropes had been touched by Shiro Tsukumo.

In other words, he must declare a kong (a set of four identical tiles) to have a chance to win the "Ling Shang Hua" (a winning tile in the game) by drawing the tile himself.

more importantly.

Nan Yan knew perfectly well that he had two One Bamboo tiles in his hand, but he kept them. If Nan Yan had just discarded the One Bamboo tile to go for another tile, then after he discarded the One Bamboo tile, he could have drawn the Four Bamboo tile in this round.

Unfortunately, Nan Yan ultimately failed to unleash the first strike.

This is the final showdown between him and the one rope that will be used to secure the ultimate victory.

"The phoenix that was so powerful at Jiuchao Rock back then, enough for a national hero to win, has finally fallen into my hands. Let's see who will get the last phoenix today!"

Akagi used four twos to form a concealed kong.

He must touch the phoenix in its most powerful form to break this cycle of fate.

This time, he will never lose!
However, Akagi touched the last South Wind card in the card hole!

Upon acquiring this South Wind card, Akagi's clouded gaze mirrored that of Vasiko when he learned that he had obtained the fourth Phoenix card.

He knew exactly what cards Nan Yan was holding at that moment.

【One line, south south south】

He was certain that Nan Yan did not possess the legendary Zhang Fenghuang.

If he plays the South Wind, then Nan Yan can open a Kong, skipping the Prime Minister's turn to draw a card, and can also draw an extra card.

If he doesn't play this card, he will not only lose the chance to win, but even if the Prime Minister draws his card next, he will not be able to give him the winning hand because he discarded it.

That way, Nan Yan can still draw cards.

Therefore, it makes no difference whether he hits the south wind or not.

Even if the Prime Minister were to draw the last Phoenix tile, Nan Yan could still change his strategy and wait for other tiles.

He was the one driven to the brink of despair!
"It seems you've also sensed the cycle of fate. In that case..."

Akagi finally unleashed the South Wind sword with great force.

Let the cause and effect of the past end today.

As Nan Yan gazed at the south wind unleashed by Akagi, he felt the arrival of that exquisite artistic conception.

An indescribable sense of supreme power brews at your fingertips.

"Bar!"

At this moment, Nan Yan seemed to be issuing orders.

Akagi seemed to see a short-haired girl next to Nanyan pushing down the three melds in his hand, and with her melds, the "Ling Shang Kai Hua" (a winning hand) was as easy as a piece of cake!
Behind Nan Yan stood the peerless demon god.

His hand almost solidified and rested on Nan Yan's shoulder.

—Draw a card, for as my successor, you are the embodiment of invincibility!

—Go, young Nan Yan, and take back the phoenix that Akagi took from me back then!
With the support of Nan Yan's figure behind him, his luck surged again, and the "playing the Mahjong Demon" status in his system returned to a real number from "???".

1%
20%
60%
This number started to skyrocket until it broke through the 100% barrier!
He inherited Vasishi's authority and will, but he also surpassed Essho Rock.

"me and you togather."

Bai Zhumu gently placed his hand on Nan Yan's arm.

At this moment, with hundreds of millions of viewers, Bai Zhumu had already transcended the ordinary and entered a state of sainthood. Her bird's-eye view soared over the endless future, covering the entire world and taking in every viewer who was watching the battle.

This also includes her friends who have been quietly supporting her.

At this moment, countless people who were connected with her stood with her, their hands placed behind her, converging into an unstoppable supreme power, which she then focused on Nan Yan's body.

She finally saw the final scene from the bird's-eye view. In this last draw, Nan Yan finally welcomed back the phoenix that originally belonged to Yu Wushuang.

Behind Nan Yan, there are countless other people.

Their presence allowed this young man to finally reach the pinnacle of his life.

At this moment, Nan Yan is not alone; he is surrounded by countless others.

Everyone was helping him to draw that last card.

At this moment, he truly became the peerless demon god.

Akagi looked at Minamihiko and saw a large number of people of all kinds behind him, all wishing him success and pooling their strength for him.

At this moment, the demon Akagi sat alone in the chair, feeling both lonely and desolate.

From his childhood to the present, Akagi has discovered that he has no one who can truly be his friend.

Therefore, he stood alone, wandering alone.

Loneliness is the source of his strength.

Nan Yan is no longer alone. Behind him are countless people willing to walk with him. He has indeed lost the divinity he had at the beginning, but the added humanity has made him stronger by gathering the support of millions of people!
Nan Yan, who embodies the power of countless wishes, precisely and accurately retrieved the phoenix symbol from the endless, dark card hole and placed it steadily in his warm palm.

In that battle, the world was blessed, and Akagi captured four phoenixes, driving the Eagle Nest into a desperate situation.

But now, that last one has finally returned to the side of Yu Wushuang Guishen.

Looking back, Akagi recalls himself as a mere nineteen-year-old facing Washizu Rock.

Perhaps, back then, he was just like Nan Yan now, favored by this world.

The difference was that there was no one behind him.

But behind Nan Yan are millions of people!

The deep bond between the boy before me and this world has ultimately transformed into his own strength.

It was a really long night.

“I won this time, Akagi.”

It was unclear whether the voice came from Nan Yan or the old man behind him, but it lingered in the room for a long time.

The new legendary night, with the appearance of the phoenix, has officially come to an end.

(End of this chapter)
