At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"Damn it, does this bastard have any fighting spirit at all?!" Lei Sai glared at Ji Bucheng, wishing he could immediately draw an arrow and shoot him in the ass.

Not only Lei Sai, but everyone else around him also frowned and looked at Ji Bucheng.

It was just a martial arts competition. What grudge or grievance could there be to humiliate a girl in front of so many people?

Ji Bucheng didn't care at all. After giving Zhou Yao a little more time to catch her breath, he used the same trick again and pressed forward once more.

His move was a calculated, open strategy.

According to the rules, the match must continue unless one person voluntarily concedes defeat, or the referee determines that a certain move could cause the opponent's death and awards a loss.

But he didn't strike Zhou Yao's vital points, and even gave her time to catch her breath.

The purpose was to torment her and force her to admit defeat.

Now that things have come to this, Zhou Yao could clearly see Ji Bucheng's intentions. Normally, she would not have acted recklessly; if she couldn't win, she would admit defeat.

But now, she is wearing the clothes of the Demon Slayer Division, and her opponent is a member of the Six Doors. This is no longer a battle between two people, but a confrontation between two forces.

She could accept losing a fight if she was less skilled, but she would never voluntarily admit defeat!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yao gritted her teeth and, instead of taking the opportunity to rest, strode forward and charged ahead.

Ji Bucheng clearly hadn't expected Zhou Yao to be so assertive, and his movement of raising his hand slowed down.

"Sizzle—!!"

The sound of tearing fabric rang out.

Zhou Yao's sword pierced through Ji Bucheng's waist.

A streak of blood stained the tip of the sword.

"I'm not some squeaky mouse!" Zhou Yao panted, glaring fiercely at them.

"Fuck you!!"

The mockery on Ji Bucheng's face vanished instantly, replaced by intense anger.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse, but because of carelessness, it gets bitten by the mouse instead.

In an instant, Ji Bucheng was enraged, and his true energy surged wildly from his dantian.

With a single strike, he knocked the longsword from Zhou Yao's hand. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the blade he had swung out instantly transformed into a flat blade, which lashed fiercely towards Zhou Yao's chest.

This sudden change caught many people off guard and made them nervous.

Especially Lei Sai, whose fingers were clenched so tightly that he was completely unaware of the stinging pain in his palm.

Although Ji Bucheng only used the back of the blade, the point of the strike was extremely vicious.

If it hits, it may not be fatal, but it could leave permanent damage.

"You damned woman, how dare you hurt me! I'll make sure you never have a good time for the rest of your life!"

Ji Bucheng's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

The brilliance of his move lies in using the back of the blade, not the edge.

If it were a blade, a single slash would inevitably injure the chest and heart meridian, and Liang Qing, as the referee, would certainly intervene.

But he chose the back of the knife.

This strike will not only tear that lump of fat to shreds, but also prevent it from being seriously injured!

Who knows, there might even be a chance to smash the other side to pieces too!

"Oh no!"

As Ji Bucheng drew his sword and swung it, Zhou Yao's face turned pale.

As a woman, how could she not know the importance of this?

However, she was too weak to dodge right now.

Looks like I'll have to adopt a cow when I get back; I can't let my kids lose at the starting line.

Zhou Yao thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile.

As for regret?

She never thought of it.

It's just two lumps of meat!

I just don't know if Lei Sai will mind.

This kid looks honest, but he's actually very cunning and likes to pretend to be serious.

As she was thinking, she didn't notice the pain in her chest. Instead, something hard pressed against her back.

"Sister Yao, are you alright! Sister Yao!!"

It sounded as if Lei Sai's voice was in Zhou Yao's ear. She opened her eyes and looked at Lei Sai, who was holding her in his arms, with a blank expression.

"Are you alright?"

Under Lei Sai's anxious and worried gaze, Zhou Yao subconsciously raised her hand and squeezed her proud breasts.

As if afraid she was dreaming, she casually took Lei Sai's hand and placed it on another spot.

"Sister Yao!! What are you doing!!"

Lei Sai, who had been filled with worry, suddenly turned red in the face.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? If you don't like it, you can take it away!" Zhou Yao, her ears slightly red, rolled her eyes at him, pretending not to care.

Upon hearing this, Lei Sai's face turned even redder, but he didn't make any move. He just mumbled things like, "I didn't raise my voice," "What do you mean by 'like' or 'don't like'?" and "I'm just afraid of hurting you if I move around."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While Lei Sai and Zhou Yao were enjoying a romantic moment, things were quite different for Ji Bucheng.

He stared at the fingers pressing against the back of his knife, his face grim: "Referee, what do you mean by this?"

Liang Qing remained calm and said indifferently, "The Six Doors win the fourth match of the first round of the fourth tier group."

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Bucheng and asked, "Any objections?"

"have!"

Ji Bucheng was stubborn as ever, and he shouted while facing Liang Qing's gaze.

Liang Qing: "Oh."

Ji Bucheng: ? ? ?

You big dummy!

I said I have a problem with it, are you deaf?!

"The fourth match of the fourth-tier group has ended. All unrelated personnel, please leave the area immediately!"

Under Ji Bucheng's incredulous gaze, Liang Qing flicked his finger, and the blade in his hand uncontrollably returned to its sheath.

Finally, Liang Qing added, "What, you want me to personally see you off?"

Ji Bucheng felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously touched his neck.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he retreated back to the Six Doors area.

"Lord Yuan, wasn't Captain Liang's judgment somewhat unfair?"

Nie Chi's voice echoed in the valley, and everyone subconsciously looked at Yuan Yin.

"Oh? Officer Nie, what are your thoughts? Feel free to speak frankly." Yuan Yin looked up at Nie Chi.

Just when everyone thought Nie Chi was about to accuse Liang Qing of being unfair as a referee, they saw him raise his hand and point at Lei Sai, who was helping Zhou Yao leave the field.

"It is somewhat against the rules for your captain to enter the arena before the results of the competition have been announced."

Lei Sai: Huh? I have something to do with this too?

Zhou Yao: Idiot!!

"Hahaha, Officer Nie is right. Liang Qing, you are the referee, what do you think should be done in this situation?" Yuan Yin smiled and looked at Liang Qing.

"A contestant who trespasses into the battle arena without permission will be automatically disqualified according to the rules, losing the chance to compete for a spot in the Cold Pool Blessed Land," Liang Qing said calmly.

Lei Sai: That's it?

He was just going through the motions and never expected to actually get a spot.

"In that case, Lei Sai, do you have any objections?" Yuan Yin looked at Lei Sai.

"No, Lord Yuan, I will listen to Commandant Liang! I will accept the punishment willingly!" Lei Sai immediately said.

Seeing this, Yuan Yin gave Liang Qing a look, and Liang Qing immediately understood. He opened the register of numbers and said, "Lei Sai, number fourteen, contestant in the fourteenth match of the first round of the fourth-tier group, has been disqualified for violating the rules. The winner is..."

He closed the booklet and looked in the direction of the Six Doors: "Six Doors."

That's right, Lei Sai's opponent is also the Six Doors.

Upon hearing this, Nie Chi nodded and said nothing more.
