A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Chapter 483

"Squeak."

The window was pushed open by someone outside; even such a small sound was enough to be jarring in the dead of night.

The person outside paused, listening intently to the surrounding sounds. Seeing nothing amiss, they pushed the window open again, stopping only when it was wide enough. They then pulled out something and fixed it to the bottom of the window to stop it from moving. Immediately afterward, a dark figure jumped in.

Yang Lei had been sitting on the sofa looking out the window until now, when he finally made a move. His left eye suddenly turned into a blood-red windmill shape, and he murmured softly, "Tsukuyomi."

The dark figure was caught off guard before he could even see the room clearly. He was unaware of this, however, and continued to act in his own mind. The people inside had already fallen asleep. He slowly approached them, pulled a gleaming dagger from his waist, and slashed down, accurately and ruthlessly severing the necks of 'Yang Lei' and the others.

"It's done."

The dark figure finally spoke then, and turned to leave happily.

"Where are you going?"

Suddenly, Yang Lei ripped off his own head and stood up, holding his own head in one hand and grabbing the man's clothes with the other. The head in his hand even spoke: "Come on, let's have a good talk. Why did you want to kill me?"

"A ghost! Mom!"

The man, who had been ruthless and decisive just moments before, suddenly broke down, shouting and yelling.

Fortunately, this was in Tsukuyomi's mental space; otherwise, she probably would have woken up everyone around her long ago.

It's past 1 a.m., and such a shout would wake anyone up unless they're a heavy sleeper like the author.

Yang Lei laughed. The contrast in this person was too great. Even he didn't expect that this guy, who had been walking at night for many years, would be afraid of encountering ghosts. Hehehe, interesting.

After discovering how timid the man was, Yang Lei got a mischievous idea. Before dealing with him properly, he used all sorts of methods he knew to scare him, eventually leaving the man completely dumbfounded.

"All right."

Yang Lei then put away Tsukuyomi. He had already found out who this person was and the reason why he came to assassinate him.

This person wasn't an assassin sent by another team, but rather hired by Crow's Tail. His purpose was to assassinate him so that he could take the opportunity to infiltrate the guild and find what Ivan had been spying on.

Yang Lei sneered. Since it was the crow's tail that struck first, very well, he now had an excuse to eliminate it.

Next, Yang Lei switched the Sharingan to the Kotoamatsukami state. Without completely changing the man's thoughts, he used his spatial powers to send him to the forest outside the city and then manipulated his mind to make him commit suicide.

"The crow's tail? Ha, wait until I get back."

April 20th, Day 3: Relay Swimming Race

Nothing was said that night. When Yang Lei woke up the next day, he didn't tell the kids what had happened the night before, so they had no idea that they had just walked through the gates of hell.

Yang Lei sent the killer far enough away that no one would find his body for at least a short time.

Even if his body is found, since he committed suicide, it won't cause any major trouble, nor will it lead to Yang Lei, so he is very at ease.

Yesterday, Yang Lei not only found out who the assassin's employer was, but also learned that he was the only one who came to assassinate him this time, because the guy was actually very strong, at the level of an S-class mage. Unfortunately, Yang Lei was stronger and easily killed him.

This is just one of Yang Lei's clones. His main body has recently started cultivating at home again, and his strength has probably increased again.

Anyway, in Yang Lei's eyes, whether it's S-class or Saint-level 10, they are all the same as those minor characters with only some meager skills, all of whom can be defeated in one move.

This morning, the organizers finally didn't cause any more trouble, and Yang Lei and his team strolled around until the very last minute before nine o'clock before arriving at the venue.

Yang Lei was the last to arrive at the backstage area. After waiting for a short while, the organizers came over to inform everyone to gather at the venue.

Today's competition events are different from yesterday's.

The competition this morning is a water sport event. A large swimming pool has already been built, and according to the commentator, the competition will soon be about to begin.

Of course, the so-called "competition to see who is better" does not mean that everyone has to go into the water to fight. The fighting competition is an afternoon event, and the "fight" mentioned here refers to a swimming competition between eight teams.

The venue was indeed quite large, with the swimming pool in the middle measuring 100 meters long and 100 meters wide.

However, since all the contestants were mages, the size of the pool was not ideal.

But it's okay, we can just turn back a few more times.

The race is 10,000 meters long. Team members can switch at any time, without having to swim a certain number of meters before switching. They can switch as long as they are on the left or right side of the pool.

In other words, this is actually a relay swimming competition.

This is another event that is quite disadvantageous to Yang Lei, as the other teams are all at full strength with five members each, and each person is only responsible for the two kilometers.

But he couldn't do that; he was all alone and had to swim the 10,000-meter race all by himself.

However, it didn't matter; for Yang Lei, it was nothing.

Because this is a duel between mages, the rules also clearly state that no means are restricted during the competition.

The scoring mechanism is the same as yesterday: the first place gets a full 10 points, the second place gets 8 points, and the third place gets 5 points. However, this time, because there will be a fourth and fifth place, the fourth place will receive an additional 3 points and the fifth place will receive 1 point.

As for the remaining sixth, seventh, and eighth place finishers, sorry, they didn't get a single point.

After the rules were explained, the mages were taken backstage. One of them, Xing, suggested that they wear swimsuits, because they couldn't be allowed to go into the water wearing underwear, could they?

Underwear is underwear, and swimwear is swimwear; these must be distinguished.

Of course, for men, there's really no difference between them, as long as they don't become transparent when wet.

However, don't forget that there is another woman in Boa Hancock's party.

Furthermore, this competition is not so simple; the teams need to find a quiet place to discuss their strategies.

It may seem like just a 10,000-meter race, but the dangers involved are far from simple. If you are the weaker one from the start, you will be completely overtaken once you are subdued by your opponent.

Chapter 484

As I just mentioned, if you want to switch swimmers, you have to swim to either side. If you get stuck in the middle, you're out of luck, and the teammates on both sides can only watch helplessly.

Also, we can't always let the strongest swimmers go swimming. Again, don't underestimate this sport. The resistance underwater, and the significant loss of magic and physical strength caused by giving it their all to avoid falling behind, are all factors that need to be considered.

Don't forget, after the morning's matches, there's another battle to fight in the afternoon.

Therefore, we really need to carefully consider which joint to substitute and who should take the field, otherwise, a moment of carelessness could result in a zero score.

In fact, there is not much difference in points between the teams. The biggest difference is only 20 points between the first and last place. If Yang Lei loses and someone else gets 10 points, there is a possibility of a comeback.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking; Yang Lei is unlikely to lose.

Unlike the other teams, Yang Lei was all alone, so he didn't have much to worry about. He just wanted to swim 10,000 meters, what's the big deal?

· ·····Requesting flowers·········

After changing into his swim trunks, he was the first to come out from backstage, not caring at all about the tens of thousands of people sitting there. He walked to the edge of the pool, stood there, and stretched his arms and legs to warm up.

After years of arduous training, Yang Lei's body looks thin, but in fact every muscle is so firm, just like it was cast from steel, or like natural granite.

Normally, you wouldn't notice when he's dressed, but now that he's shirtless, it's instantly exposed, giving off a wild vibe.

Especially since he also has a handsome face and is quite tall, standing at 1.9 meters, the audience couldn't hold back any longer. In an instant, screams and cheers rang out, and countless men stared with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could go down and fight Yang Lei.

.. .......

This isn't jealousy; some of them really do have wives or girlfriends among them.

Yang Lei is truly outstanding. Yesterday morning, he easily defeated all his opponents and won the tug-of-war championship all by himself.

In the afternoon, facing the formidable Kagura, he showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he even gave her some guidance in the manner of a mentor. This mature and reliable side of him easily makes women feel favorably toward him.

Looking back at the preliminary round the day before yesterday, Yang Lei was leisurely running at the back. Just when everyone thought he was about to be eliminated, who would have thought that he would easily overtake others and jump from last place to the top eight?

Not only that, but he also single-handedly eliminated the teams that still had a chance, leaving them frozen in place until the end of the qualifiers before finally escaping. This powerful skill is truly admirable.

Later, when Yang Lei won the preliminary championship, although some people were still not optimistic about him, it was a recognition of his strength.

If Yang Lei continues to maintain his previous strength and single-handedly holds Fairy Tail's number one position, he will surely gain more recognition.

Especially those women cheering and screaming on stage now, they will definitely become his fans, and they will probably be available whenever he wants to hook up with them.

Unaffected by external stimuli, Yang Lei continued to shake his head and sway his waist as if the cheers weren't for him, until he was about to lose his patience, at which point the other teams finally reappeared.

0421 Yang Lei's Terrifying Nature

After all the participants had gathered at the poolside, the relay swimming race was finally about to begin.

Standing on the far left of the pool is Yang Lei, who has been in first place so far, thus securing a good spot.

Why is the far left a good position? Because he doesn't have to worry about attacks from the left, as there are no enemies on the left.

So, not only the far left, but also the far right is the best position. Therefore, the second-ranked Snake Princess Scale is on the far right.

Yang Lei was right next to Swordbite Tiger, and to the left of Snake Princess Scales was Giant's Nose.

Both teams have zero points, so they are in the worst position.

Why are these two positions considered the worst?

Nonsense, how good would it be to be close to the first or second place?

Mermaid Heel was originally a zero, but they were given a lot of care because all their mages were women.

"705u.com - Reading Club First Release" Mermaid's Heel was placed in the very center, with the blue Pegasus on the left and the three-headed hound on the right.

On the other side of the blue Pegasus is the fin of the snake demon.

Let me clarify the positions for everyone.

Starting from the far left, the first lane is Yang Lei, then Sword Bite Tiger, Snake Demon Fin, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel, Four-Headed Hound, Giant Nose, and Snake Princess Scale.

The leftmost and rightmost positions are the best, followed by the Serpent Demon Fins and the Four-Headed Hound. The teams to their left and right are ranked lower than them, giving them an advantage.

Although this is a competitive event, in theory, fairness should be taken into account.

In fact, if it is fair to the weak, then it is unfair to the strong.

They fought tooth and nail to win, are they just going to give up their good position?

If you want a good position, you can get it as long as you're number one.

Reality is both cruel and fair.

"Prepare."

After the participants were ready, the staff gave a shout, and a gong sounded from the high platform in the distance.

"Pfft."

All eight people from the eight teams plunged into the water and swam quickly.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Lei was different from the others; his speed was incredibly fast. Two large splashes of water were constantly churning, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Lei reached the other side. Then, with a flip in the water, he lightly touched the wall of the pool with his foot.

"Whoosh."

He quickly rebounded, while the fastest of the others had only swum a dozen meters, but he had already swum back.

Chapter 485

That's a full 200 meters round trip! And there are only three seconds left until the start of the race! He finished it with ease, much to the delight of countless viewers.

Even the guildmates in Magnolia Town, who were watching the live stream together, were dumbfounded.

I knew Yang Lei was amazing, but this is just too amazing.

He showed his speed in the qualifiers, his strength in the tug-of-war, and even his skill in water sports is impressive. Is there anything he can't do?

Yang Lei said that there is no such thing yet, and he will find out what he is lacking in the future and then make up for it.

Back on the field, there are two recorders in each team's swimming course, who are responsible for counting how many meters each participant has completed.

At this moment, the two people standing on Yang Lei's line were almost going crazy. One of them shouted "One!" and then the other shouted "Two!" and then the first person shouted "Three!" and the second person shouted "Four!"

The seven teams next to me had just finished one lap, while Yang Lei had already gone back and forth more than ten laps. How could they possibly have fun like this?

The other teams are too lazy to deal with Yang Lei. Unless they all attack together, they will not only fail to defeat Yang Lei, but they will also lose the opportunity to score.

Anyway, besides the first place, the second place has eight points, the third place has five points, and even the fourth and fifth place have points bonuses. They still have to continue to compete with other teams for the remaining spots.

And so, the other seven teams simply ignored Yang Lei and had a good competition among themselves. For a while, water splashed and magic flashed in the pool area except for Yang Lei's area, but strangely, nothing happened to him.

"Finish."

A short while later, the two men who had been giving Yang Lei the numbers shouted in hoarse voices, and at the same time, they collapsed to the ground with expressions of relief.

Yang Lei was too fast, forcing them to stay on edge the whole time. They didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing a lap in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Yang Lei completed the 10,000-meter race, and they could finally take a break.

“Waaah.”

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted as they watched Xing Xiang D, but they forgot to cheer for Yang Lei. Clearly, they hadn't quite caught up in the moment, or perhaps their attention was already drawn to the battle in another area.
