While everyone was chatting through the team's communication channel, they unknowingly entered the affluent southern district. This district didn't have many tall buildings; instead, it consisted mostly of luxurious villas, estates, and classic mansions, occupying vast areas. Without tall buildings to use as a springboard, their speed was inevitably affected, but not by too much, and they arrived at their destination within Song's estimated time.

The pedestrians stopped in front of a large Western-style manor with a garden.

Li Wei said, "From now on, let things take their natural course."

Because they had absolute confidence in their own abilities, Song and Hu Die made a relatively simple plan, which only required preventing their people from being ambushed.

Li Wei pressed the doorbell at the front door, and a female voice came through the loudspeaker at the door.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" The woman's voice sounded somewhat impatient.

Everyone could sense the impatience in the language, and they all felt somewhat annoyed, thinking to themselves that they could be a little harsher when they made their move later.

Li Wei wasn't angry at all, and laughed, "Help me, Tatsumi no Hayato, tell him that another player from the Sekirei game is looking for him."

"Okay, just a moment."

Shortly after, the main gate of the manor opened, and Mikogami Hayato, dressed in white casual clothes, came out with his three Sekirei and walked towards the gate.

Hikaru whispered, "That guy with the scarf must be Mutsu. He's really strong. Right now, only Uranium Girl can hold him off."

Hikaru knew very well that if Li Wei were to truly rise to power, even the formidable Mutsu wouldn't be able to withstand a slap.

However, the rules of the Wagtail game dictate that Wagtails belong to Wagtails and Reed Sprouts belong to Reed Sprouts. The first phase involves one-on-one battles between Wagtails. Even if a player wins by violating these rules, they will receive a warning and punishment from the MBI, ultimately resulting in a net loss. While Li Wei isn't afraid of punishment, he won't intentionally break the rules to ensure the game can proceed smoothly.

Mikogami Hayato looked to be about ten years old. Because of his good nutrition, he appeared more mature than his peers. With one hand in his pocket, he looked at Li Wei with an excited smile on his face and said, "I never expected that someone would come to challenge me. This is truly a rare thing."

Wearing scarves and traditional kimonos, Mutsu, dressed in light clothing and with a slender figure, and Hihime, dressed in conservative ancient dress, the three of them stood behind Mikogami Hayato like followers.

Li Wei said, "I know that everyone who came to challenge you before failed, so you are very confident."

Mikogami Hayato laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? When you win several times in a row and your enemies are all pitifully weak, you'll do the same thing as me."

Mikogami Hayato opened the iron gate and led Li Wei and the others to the lawn in front of the manor.

Mikogami Hayato said, "I know why you're here. The Sekirei game, right? I can play with you, but there have to be a wager."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Interesting, tell me about it."

Mikogami Hayato laughed and said, "The bet is simple: whoever loses will be at the beck and call of the winner."

Li Wei understood what Mikogami Hayato wanted to do. Mikogami Hayato was building his own faction, an alliance with a master-servant relationship that could bring him high returns and give him a greater advantage in the game.

In fact, Ice Spring of AGN in the east also played this game, trying to win over as many independent players as possible, forming factions to enhance their influence and achieve the effect of subduing the enemy without fighting. Later, when independent players like Ice Spring wanted to oppose them, just seeing the sheer size of their forces was enough to calm their minds.

Li Wei said, "I accept half of this bet."

Mikogami Hayato looked surprised and said, "What insight do you have? Tell me."

Li Wei said, "I'm a very ruthless person. I decide the outcome of a battle, and it's a matter of life and death. So, in a fight, the result will inevitably be that one of you is completely defeated. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me, but if you lose, I won't ask for anything. Anyway, your wagtail will be sent back to MBI for emergency treatment."

Hayato Mikogami wore a smile on his face, but felt annoyed inside. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was used to the life of the elite, and the thing he hated most was being disobeyed.

Hayato Mikogami said, "It seems you're someone who doesn't leave yourself a way out. Since that's the case, I'll respect you. I won't ask you to listen to me. I'll also send all your Sekirei back to MBI."

Mikogami Hayato's expression appeared somewhat sinister.

Chapter 1. The Method of Provocation

Li Wei laughed and said, "Your biggest asset is No. Mutsu, right? After all, he's a single-digit number and a former member of the Punishment Team. The few matches you won before were all related to him, weren't they?"

Mikogami Hayato's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected Li Wei to be able to expose his secret. Mutsu was his secret weapon, which he rarely used, but when he did, it was decisive.

He doesn't have many wagtails, but each one is a powerful elite individual, which is the source of his confidence.

Mutsu's expression wasn't good either. His experience in the punishment squad was a dark chapter in his life, and the fact that people knew about something he didn't want to talk about made him want to kill someone.

Li Wei said, "Let's begin. Wagtails go back to their wagtails, and reed shoots go back to their reed shoots."

Mikogami Hayato whispered to Mutsu beside him, "Mutsu, you go first and crush them."

Mutsu nodded. He was very confident in his strength. He could easily kill ordinary Sekirei. In previous battles, he rarely made a move, but when he did, it was always decisive. This was the true value of a former member of the Punishment Team. He was a completely different kind of being from ordinary Sekirei.

Mutsu replied softly, "Understood. I'll make him despair."

Li Wei's hearing allowed him to overhear their conversation. The other party's reaction was not beyond his expectations. Mikogami Hayato was a very arrogant person, and such a person would get easily provoked.

Li Wei patted Uranium Girl on the shoulder. Uranium Girl stepped forward and walked to the front of the group, saying, "No. Uranium Girl, nice to meet you."

Mutsu stepped forward to the front of the group and said, "Your Ashimei is very irrational. You'll find out soon what happens when you anger Miko-sama."

The Uranium Woman said with a puzzled look, "That pretty boy, is there something special about him? And speaking of which, Mutsu-senpai, you are a man, right? It's unbelievable that a man could be transformed into an immortal."

Mutsu's face instantly darkened. Uranium Girl really knew how to rub salt in the wound. He had been holding a grudge about this matter. He had always thought that his Ashimei was a cute and beautiful girl, and then he fell for Mikogami Hayato's trick. When the two met, he mistook Mikogami Hayato for a sexualized beautiful girl, and then he stepped into the pit.

Although some time has passed, this matter remains a thorn in his side, and now that it has been brought up again, his anger has flared up once more.

Mutsu took a deep breath and said, "No. Right, you have a talent for provoking others, but that ability will only bring you trouble. Right now, I really want to beat you up."

Uranium Girl pulled out her strip of cloth from behind her waist and said calmly, "Senior, although you were once a member of the Punishment Squad and are much stronger than the average Sekirei, I am not weak either. If you want to beat me up, you'll have to have the ability. Let's begin."

Both sides cleared a space for the two Sekirei to fight. The Sekirei's fighting power far exceeds the limits of humans. For a normal human fighter, a small area the size of a kogane would be enough, but the Sekirei are different. Their battles have a much wider range, comparable to the destructive power of modern heavy firearms. Coupled with their short-range burst speed comparable to a flying machine, once the fight starts, it is truly a bloody battle between humanoid monsters. If not carefully controlled, everything around them will be destroyed by the two fighting sides.

Those who were not involved in the battle stood on the outer edge of the line, not far from each other.

Li Wei said, "Alright, the wagtails are wagtails now, and it's time for the reed shoots to be reed shoots. Come on, Mikogami Hayato, I challenge you."

Looking at Li Wei's tall stature and cheetah-like muscular physique, Mikogami Hayato gave him a look as if he were looking at an idiot and said, "Are you a savage who ran out of the forest? The Sekirei Game is a battle between Sekirei, what does it have to do with Ashime!"

Li Wei laughed and said, "How can you say this has nothing to do with the reed shoots? Our wagtails participate in brutal battles, and as their reed shoots, don't we also have our own battles to fight? Or are you trying to escape?"

"Huh?! Escape? That word doesn't exist in my dictionary. I just don't want to fight with a barbarian like you. If that's the case, your dead muscles from working out in the gym might not be a match for me." Mikogami Hayato said with an annoyed expression.

Although Mikogami Hayato was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was different from ordinary spoiled brats. He was quite strict with himself, so he often worked out at the gym and also learned self-defense from a professional coach. It's hard to say about three people, but if he was right, he was confident that he could defeat any professional fighter he encountered.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Li Wei was tall and muscular, giving him the look of a classic physique athlete. However, in Mikogami Hayato's eyes, this kind of flashy, dead muscle was only good for looking at. It lacked speed, explosiveness, and endurance. In a real street fight, this kind of classic physique would be easily killed.

Hayato Mikogami took off his shirt, revealing his lean physique. He was the kind of person who looked thin when dressed but muscular when undressed, which was very visually deceptive.

Li Wei also took off his shirt, revealing his perfectly sculpted body, resembling a Greek sculpture. Unlike Mikogami Hayato's fair, almost feminine skin, Li Wei's complexion was a light wheat color, healthy and vibrant.

Neither of the two sides' saiirei tried to stop the fight. Both sides were confident in their own ashibe. Meanwhile, Uranium Girl and Mutsu had already started fighting. Neither side held back and went straight for the other's vitals, playing a life-or-death game.

. .......

The two sides moved at high speed across the field, constantly colliding and attacking each other. Their speed was so fast that afterimages could be seen in the eyes of ordinary people, and the ear-piercing clanging of weapons rang out incessantly.

Meanwhile, on Ashi's side, they were still in a stalemate. Mikogami Hayato adopted a self-defense fighting stance, slightly lowering his center of gravity, preparing to take advantage of the moment Li Wei made his move to deliver a vicious dive and slam.

Li Wei took a large step forward, his right leg swiftly rising to deliver a high roundhouse kick. Seeing Li Wei's wide and powerful attack, Mikogami Hayato was delighted. He moved instantly, launching a surprise attack on Li Wei's lower body. He wanted to throw Li Wei to the ground the moment he disrupted Li Wei's balance. The size difference between the two was obvious; he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so he wanted to use the ground's momentum to counterattack Li Wei.

"Gotcha!" Mikogami Hayato swiftly grabbed Li Wei and kicked at the ankle of the foot Li Wei was standing on.

The impact of his instep and ankle caused Mikogami Hayato intense pain. He felt as if he had kicked a steel plate. The enormous recoil made his kicking foot not only painful but also numb.

Li Wei pressed down with his raised right foot, clamping down on Mikogami Hayato like a guillotine, squeezing him like a crab's pincers.

Hayato Mikogami's eyes instantly bulged with bloodshot veins, and a sharp pain surged through him. He felt as if his entire shoulder, where it was being squeezed, was about to be crushed. Pain! It hurt so much!

Chapter 1. The Max-Level Boss Slaughters the Young

Mikogami Hayato is not a professional fighter and his pain tolerance is not high. When he encountered such pain, he screamed in agony instantly.

When Mikogami Hayato called out, Mutsu was instantly distracted and ended up with several wounds on his body. The strength of the Uranium Woman exceeded his expectations. He originally thought it would be a quick and easy match, but it had dragged on like this. Not only was he unable to break through her defenses, but he also ended up with several wounds of various sizes on his body, while his opponent didn't even have a scratch. The more he fought, the more alarmed he became.

"Lord Mikogami!" The Sekirei Diary only saw Mikogami Hayato's disheveled state and wanted to rush forward to help.

However, just as Himeko took a step, a bolt of lightning struck in front of her, instantly scorching a patch of grass. This sudden attack forced her to stop.

Hikaru stepped forward and said, "This is a battle between men, please do not interfere rashly. Moreover, my Ashimea will not take your master's life."

Li Wei indeed did not intend to kill Mikogami Hayato. He would not let someone he disliked die so easily. In other words, he would squeeze out as much value as possible from such a target before making the final decision.

In the world of *Sekirei*, Li Wei has two most disliked characters: Izumi Hyoga and Hayato Mikogami. Compared to them, the protagonist's personality is actually quite likable. He starts off weak but steadily grows, and by the later stages, his flaws are corrected, leaving him with few redeeming qualities. Hayato Mikogami, on the other hand, is utterly unappealing from beginning to end.

The male protagonist in this world is still preparing for the entrance exam to Tokyo Imperial University, spending all his time locked in his rented room studying and having no time to interact with the outside world. Meanwhile, Mikogami Hayato and Hyoga Izumi are both focused on taking in promising Sekirei, with grand ambitions ahead.

At this moment, Mikogami Hayato's once handsome face was now contorted into a grotesque, demonic shape due to the pain.

Li Wei gradually increased his strength. Now he had reached a level of subtle control over his own power. To him, making such an attack was like playing fencing with a needle and a bee's stinger—a very delicate form of entertainment.

Mikogami Hayato struggled fiercely, but because his entire right shoulder was immobilized, his right hand had very limited room to move. He could only use his left hand to grab the Achilles tendon of Li Wei's right foot and pinch it inward forcefully.

The Achilles tendon is a weakness that no normal person, including those who have trained for a long time, can avoid. It is a vital point that cannot be improved in terms of defense no matter how much training is done.

However, while Mikogami Hayato's own hand was already aching, Li Wei's ankle remained perfectly fine. His stubbornness prevented him from losing so easily. Mikogami Hayato gritted his teeth, and with a fierce clench, his unrestrained left hand formed a fist, and he slammed it towards Li Wei's groin.

Li Wei sensed the opponent's intention, but made no defensive move, since, for him, the opponent's attacks were incapable of breaking through his defenses.

Like the sound of steel clashing, Mikogami Hayato felt a sharp pain in his hand bones. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his left hand, and his fingers were twisted.

Li Wei laughed, "Young man, you have no martial ethics! You actually attacked my vitals by sneak attack. Luckily, I'm more skilled and have practiced Iron Crotch Kung Fu. But what goes around comes around. You attacked my vitals by sneak attack, so I have to return the favor. Watch my Poison Palm! I'll smear your face with it!"

Li Wei channeled his magical power into his palm and delivered a resounding slap to Mikogami Hayato's face. A black handprint covered half of his face. Li Wei released him at the opportune moment, the immense impact of the slap sending him flying more than ten meters away.

"Miko-sama!" Mutsu was furious when he saw this, but he was entangled by Uranium Woman and had no time to defend himself. He could only watch helplessly as Miko-sama Hayato went out.

With bloodshot eyes, Mutsu said fiercely, like a demon, "How dare you hurt my Reisha! I don't care about any rules anymore, you all must die!"

Uranium Woman said, "Instead of wasting your time talking big, you should take care of yourself. Look at the pathetic state you're in now, is it presentable?"

The Uranium Woman's attacks became increasingly fierce. In just a few moves, Mutsu, whose mind was already in disarray, fell into a complete disadvantage and was knocked to the ground by a barrage of fast attacks. His body was covered in wounds, making him a bloody mess.

Without hesitation, the Uranium Girl decisively finished him off. It's better to eliminate the enemy here than wait for them to retaliate.

Mutsu hadn't expected Uranium Woman to kill so readily; even as his bodily functions ceased, his face still bore an expression of disbelief.
