Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

In front of the Demon Suppression Tower.

After a moment's thought, Takeo Tanaka decided to let Arashi Kimura, the boy in the ninja outfit, participate in the first match.

"Teacher, I'll take this round," Lin Fan said, taking a step forward.

"Okay, you can go then." Su Chen nodded slightly at the snake's head to indicate his agreement.

It's obvious that the Japanese country offered the venue for the first match out of pure goodwill.

Among Lin Fan, Xu Liyue, Chu Yunfeng, and Kong Bowen, Lin Fan is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of overall strength.

No matter what unexpected situation arises, Lin Fan should be able to handle it calmly now.

Beside him, Takeo Tanaka's gaze fell on Lin Fan, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

This young man named Lin Fan possessed a restrained aura, yet his brilliance was hidden.

His true level of skill has probably reached at least the third rank, making him an absolute monstrous martial arts genius.

If it were a head-on confrontation, this kid would definitely be a troublesome opponent.

However, he specifically arranged the first match inside the Demon Suppression Tower, precisely because of this.

The moment the two stepped into the Demon Suppression Tower, victory in this competition was destined to belong to Tianzhao Martial Arts School!

Takeo Tamaki took out a portable camera from his bag, set up the lens, adjusted the angle, and aimed it at the Demon Suppression Tower.

"Your Excellency, in order to ensure the fairness of this exchange match, and to allow martial arts enthusiasts from both countries to witness this rare exchange, I plan to broadcast the entire event live so that all viewers can monitor it in real time. Is that alright?"

"Whatever." Su Chen lazily closed his vertical pupils for a moment.

Tanaka Takeo was fully aware of his intentions.

It seems that Takeo Tanaka is confident of victory and is eager to defeat Seiryu Academy in front of the people of Sakura Country, bringing great prestige to Amaterasu Academy.

However, this was exactly what Su Chen had been hoping for.

If he wins the exchange match, Takeo Tanaka will naturally get what he wants.

But what if we lose?

As the saying goes, the higher you fly, the harder you fall.

If Amaterasu Martial Arts School loses this battle, the nation of Sakura will be utterly disgraced.

On the contrary, the reputation of Qinglong Academy will soar!

At that time, Su Chen will be able to reap a huge wave of evolution points.

Advancing from the Calamity level to the City Destroyer level requires a full 300,000 evolution points.

I wonder how many evolution points this victory will bring him?

A hint of a smile flashed in Su Chen's golden vertical pupils.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble a school in a tiny country could cause.

The moment the live stream started, a large number of Japanese netizens flooded in, and the number of online viewers instantly exceeded one million, and it was still climbing rapidly at a visible speed.

The screen was flooded with comments, all in Japanese characters.

"It's starting! It's finally starting!"

"I didn't expect the first match to be Kimura Arashi. He's a genius from a ninja family, proficient in ninjutsu, and incredibly strong. This one's in the bag!"

"Principal Yamada is right! It's time to show the might of our Sakura Kingdom to the Great Xia Kingdom! Sakura Kingdom will prevail!"

"..."

In the live stream, Lin Fan and Kimura Arashi arrived in front of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Kimura Arashi glanced at Lin Fan, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes beneath the black mask. She spoke in the language of cherry blossoms, "Azure Dragon Academy is doomed to lose this match. It's not too late for you to surrender now."

Lin Fan frowned: "What kind of gibberish are you speaking? Can't you speak human language?"

"The people of Great Xia are indeed all arrogant and conceited!" Kimura Arashi glanced coldly at Lin Fan, becoming even more determined to make Great Xia lose face.

"start!"

As Yamada Takeo's voice faded, the two stepped into the Demon Suppression Tower at the same time.

……

The first floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

The moment the tower doors closed behind us, all sounds from the outside world were cut off, and the space inside the tower was completely isolated from the outside world.

At the same time, a hoarse roar came from the darkness, and two demon soldiers covered in dark gray scales and wielding scimitars rushed out, their scarlet eyes filled with killing intent, and pounced on Lin Fan and Kimura Arashi respectively.

Lin Fan took a step forward, and the Purple Lightning Spear instantly materialized, piercing through the demon soldier's chest.

On the other side, Kimura Arashi's movements were equally swift, his dagger slicing through the neck and throat of another demon soldier.

The moment the demon soldier fell to the ground, Kimura Arashi swayed and swiftly rushed towards the second floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Lin Fan remained where he was, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Old Bai's voice echoed in his mind.

"Are all the people of Japan in Japan soft-hearted saints?" Lin Fan glanced at the demon soldier whose throat had been slit by Kimura Arashi:

"It's not dead. That cut just now only severed the surface of the flesh; it wasn't enough to kill it."

As he spoke, Lin Fan raised his foot and stomped heavily on the chest of the demon soldier.

Just as he expected, the demon soldier who was pretending to be dead suddenly let out a painful howl.

Without giving it any chance to struggle, Lin Fan raised his spear and cleanly pierced its head.

Old Bai remained silent for a moment.

"Of course not..."

"In my impression, the people of Japan are extremely cruel and ruthless, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They are by no means soft-hearted."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

Arashi Kimura couldn't possibly be unaware that his attack hadn't killed the demon.

If what Mr. Bai said is correct, it means that Kimura Arashi's actions must have some unspeakable secret.

Without wasting any more time, Lin Fan picked up his spear, quickly climbed the stone steps, and headed towards the second floor.

……

Outside the Demon Suppression Tower.

The two beams of light corresponded to the positions of Lin Fan and Kimura Arashi, respectively.

Red represents Lin Fan, and blue represents Kimura Arashi.

At this moment, the blue light reached the second layer at an extremely fast speed, followed by the third layer, the fourth layer...

The red light lingered on the first floor for a long time before beginning to move upwards.

Upon seeing this, netizens in Japan instantly erupted in celebration.

"As expected of Kimura Arashi, his strength is truly astonishing!"

"Having already pulled away from Da Xia by such a large margin from the start, I don't think there's much suspense in this match."

"Heh, the Great Xia boasts of its flourishing martial arts, contributing countless efforts to fight against all races, and protecting half of Blue Star with the strength of a single nation. So, its strength is nothing more than this!"

The barrage of comments kept scrolling, with the vast majority of them smugly mocking Qinglong Academy and Daxia.

However, just a few seconds later, the atmosphere in the live stream suddenly changed.

"Wait, this student from Great Xia has suddenly become incredibly fast!"

"He's already on the fourth floor, while Kimura Arashi has only just reached the sixth floor. He'll catch up in two more floors."

"We're already on the fifth floor."

"Sixth floor! He's already on the sixth floor! He'd fallen so far behind, yet the Great Xia Dynasty has caught up!"
