Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Not bad." Luca pumped his fist, quite excited.

"I'm gradually getting the hang of it."

Kameili then looked at Yan Huan.

"Mr. Yan Huan, how does it feel to be a coach?"

"What coach? Please call me Mr. Agent."

Yan Huan straightened her clothes and said seriously:

"Without my accurate judgment, Luca would have been killed by the other side's advanced technology long ago."

"Executive, could we possibly give you a more respectable reward next time?" Luca scratched his head, looking quite embarrassed.

"They have cannons and all that stuff, look at us..."

"What can we do?" Yan Huan sighed, her hands clasped behind her back.

"I don't think these people are here for the prize money; they just want the traffic from the martial arts ceremony."

"But we want them all."

Yan Huan looked at Luca:

"What's a little hardship in the fighting? Think of Igor, didn't he fight his way up like that back in the day?"

"Even though this year's battle is between gods and demons, if you can win this, wouldn't that be even more awesome?"

"At that time, traffic and endorsements will come in droves, unstoppable."

“That makes sense…” Luca blinked. “Then I’d better train hard. My protective aura is still not good enough.”

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to remove the iron arm just now."

"Go and rest first," Yan Huan patted Luca on the shoulder. "You have a match this afternoon."

……

Soon it was afternoon.

Yan Huan, holding a KFC family bucket, sat on Luca's bed, eating and asking:

"What's your opponent's name?"

“It’s called [Where is the Magical Plant],” Camille replied. “Sounds like another fascinating opponent.”

Luca exclaimed:

"To be honest, there are hardly any plants in my hometown."

"The ground that the executive officer had previously dug out is now frozen over again by a thin layer of ice."

"However, some new vegetation has still grown in some places."

“Luofu is different; I feel that there are magical plants everywhere.”

Yan Huan took out her phone and glanced at the photo of Luca's opponent.

The somewhat familiar branches made him squint.

"Isn't this a demonic, ghostly monster?"

“Mr. Yan Huan, the organizing committee has marked her.” Carmel walked to the bedside and brought up the detailed page on Yan Huan’s phone.

"[Testing has confirmed that the team did not use any harmful or evil forces. Everything is safe, legal, and in compliance with competition regulations.]"

“Yes.” Yan Huan read the text carefully.

"but."

"If it were really a demonic monster, that would be good. At most, it would be a bit more durable. Otherwise, who knows what kind of overpowered equipment a normal opponent would prepare?"

Luca immediately came up with a solution.

“Mr. Executive, aren’t they plants? We can continue using Molotov cocktails.”

"You've become addicted to it." Yan Huan was speechless.

"In my opinion, the other side will definitely pay close attention to such an obvious weakness."

"Just like those demonic ghouls, ordinary flames are useless against them, otherwise the Cloud Riders would have just set them on fire with torches."

"There's something you haven't noticed."

Yan Huan ate while glancing at the two of them.

"Many teams don't have coaches. Su Chang only stood on the field with me in the previous game."

"Do you know what this means?"

"What?" Luca and Camille asked in confusion.

"That just shows how bad we are."

"It's like driving a car. Everyone else drives by themselves, but here you want a passenger sitting next to you. Is that reasonable?"

"I'm not going to the next one."

Chapter 971 Anyone can stand here.

"But I really don't have much experience participating in this kind of competition."

Luca said in shame:

"Like in that match just now, without Mr. CEO, I might have really lost."

“But even if Mr. Yan Huan is in the audience, support equipment can still be airdropped,” Camille reminded her.

"But then there would be no tactical guidance."

"Never mind," Yan Huan said, standing up with a helpless expression.

"At least we're competing fairly and honestly. So what if there's a co-pilot? It's all within the rules of the competition, much cleaner than those shady props they use."

"Get ready to go on stage and see the composition of that plant over there."

……

in the afternoon.

On the martial arts ceremony stage.

"Dear viewers, welcome back to the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony competition venue!"

"The two teams facing off in this match are [Iron Arm] Luca! and — [Where Are the Magical Plants?]!"

Luca went up on stage and found a demonic, shadowy monster standing opposite him.

"?"

Jimi explained loudly:

"The organizing committee notes that [Where are the Miraculous Plants] did not use any of the power of the Plague God, nor was it entangled in demonic influence!"

"She's just naturally voluptuous! Don't worry about watching the game!!"

"Hahahahaha——!!"

On the field, the monster had a ferocious look on its face and cackled loudly.

"Homage to the supreme glory of the Medicine King!!"

"Are you in the pharmaceutical business?" Luca greeted him.

"Hello, the plants on your body... are quite beautiful."

"At least you're not blind!" the monster said, brandishing a blade that resembled a withered branch.

"I don't know what possessed the organizers, they actually let me participate? Hahahaha!!"

"Alright, alright!"

"It's a good opportunity for me to meet you barbarians and, while I'm at it, promote the effects of the elixir of immortality!"

"An elixir of immortality?"

While Luca was still in a daze, the drone quickly dropped a metal box, which landed at the monster's feet.

The monster bent down, picked up the metal box, wiped it, and then opened it.

It was a bright green pill.

Even from a distance, Luca could smell a strange medicinal fragrance.

As I smelled it, I started to feel sleepy.

Rubbing his eyes, Luca saw the monster swallow the pill, after which its roots grew rapidly and spread everywhere.

"Hahahaha—Medicine King Cihuai!"

Thick roots enveloped every inch of his body, making him taller and stronger, and the withered branch blade in his hand condensed into a broadsword.

He hunched over, carrying the broadsword on his shoulder, the roots on his body wriggling like maggots, making Luca's heart tremble.

"Come, come, you barbarian, let me show you the blessings of the Medicine King!!"

The moment he finished speaking, he was in front of Luca, raised his broadsword, and slashed down diagonally.

"Bang!!"

Luca had no time to dodge and could only raise his iron arm to struggle against the blow.

The immense force nearly knocked him over; sparks flew from his iron arm, which was faintly scratched by the blade.

"How about that? That was just an ordinary attack from me!!"

The monster grinned and kicked Luca away. Then it swooped down, its tail roots transforming into sharp drills that struck Luca's abdomen.

With Luca in mid-air, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and use his iron arm to block again.

Sparks flew again in an instant, and a clear hole was drilled in the center of the iron arm.

"Amazing!!"
