Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Especially before that, he had only been a superhuman for a short time and his swordsmanship was weak. He relied entirely on his chuunibyou (delusional) spirit to get by.

Thanks to Zhao Hao's superb medical ninjutsu, he was completely immune to injury. Go ahead and beat him up!

On the first night, the two of them, working together, were able to completely defend against the wooden divine weapon using only their swordsmanship.

After all, Chosoga no Fu is a genius with a Black Iron 5-star rating. His swordsmanship is quite strong, and his physical attributes are also better.

Then Zhao Hao added another wooden divine weapon, this time a dual-wielding wooden divine weapon, which was even more lethal in attack!

The main point is that the two wooden divine soldiers cooperated much better than these two brothers, just like two AIs controlled by a computer!

Good heavens, the two of them got beaten up... In the middle of the night, even while they were sleeping, their hands wouldn't stop moving, gesturing and fighting with the wooden divine weapon in their dreams!

On the third day after Zhao Hao had gotten used to fighting the wooden divine weapon in front of the two, he simply refined the wooden divine weapon without much enhancement, except to add an extra arm.

It's become a three-sword style!

Even Chosokabu was accidentally beaten and bruised on the forehead, and Nichizen was covered in wounds!

But you know what? Because Zhao Hao is there to protect you, this training method eliminates any hidden injuries and truly boosts your strength. Especially for those who were previously weaker, their progress is incredibly rapid.

All those previous feats of skill have become instinctive reactions under continuous high pressure. Although his mind is not quick enough, his body is still very honest.

Body: It really hurts, but I don't want to feel pain anymore, so I'm moving faster. Brain: I don't need your commands anymore!

Zhao Hao called it "Nameless Celebrity Swordsmanship," meaning swordsmanship that doesn't require much thought.

Chosokabu's mentality was rather strange. Although he knew from the beginning that Yasuo, the swordsman, should be very strong, and he could feel that aura, he was still quite shrewd.

But before I had even witnessed swordsmanship, I was first shown some amazing abilities.

The medicine he initially gave himself directly cured his severe injuries.

A single shikigami that can be easily summoned or even modified and strengthened can withstand my attacks.

The healing technique was incredibly miraculous, a true divine skill, in no way inferior to the healing techniques of those priests in the papacy.

Is this really a swordsman? Even the high monks of Mount Koya don't have this many tricks up their sleeves!

To be honest, it was quite impressive, because each of their abilities was so powerful, each one enough to make them formidable figures on their own. And then there was that Swift Wind Sword Technique I'd never seen before… I immediately felt a sense of awe and reverence. My resolve to learn from the swordsman Yasuo only strengthened.

……

Three days have passed; please, swordsman, come forth!

The Tanuki Demon clan held their grand event in a valley in the wilderness.

The meeting was scheduled for noon, but various forces had already begun to gather early in the morning.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be the head of the Hatoyama family in person. It's been a long time!"

"Isn't this Tiger Eye Pavilion Master? Long time no see?"

"Master Shizhen of Lingshan Temple, you've come too!"

"The third generation of the Shikoku Seidokai is here too. You guys have been making waves lately!"

"Could that be a cursed investigator from the investigation department?"

"Of course! A few people from the countermeasures team also came."

There was a lot of mutual flattery, but of course, there was also some backstabbing.

For example, the Miyoshi clan, which was not on good terms with the Chosokabe family and had been vying for the title of the best family in Shikoku.

The Chosoka clan once unified Shikoku from Tosa Province during the Sengoku period, while the Miyoshi clan dominated Awa Province. Two tigers cannot share one mountain.

When Miyoshi Sankichi, the head of the Miyoshi clan, met Chōso Yoshiyama, he immediately began to tease him: "It's been a long time since I've seen you, Head of the Chōso clan. I heard that your son has become a servant to a ronin? What a mess! If you really have nowhere to go, you can come to the Miyoshi family~ The Miyoshi family will definitely treat the Chōso family's prodigy well!"

However, Chosokichi ignored Miyoshi's mockery and waited quietly.

There must have been dozens of extraordinary individuals present!

More than a dozen different factions arrived, each with three to five people, and some even had seven or eight people.

They started to collude and communicate with each other, which was nothing more than an exchange of interests.

If you help me conquer the secret realm, what price will I pay?

Or we could join forces and take it first.

The scene was incredibly lively, just like an auction. Everyone was determined to win the bid.

Several families, some of which were on good terms with the Chosokazu clan, and others who were originally affiliated with the Chosokazu clan, were quite puzzled by Chosokazu Yoshiyama's sudden decision to relinquish control of more secret realms. Chosokazu Yoshiyama, however, secretly told them to remain calm…

Not long after, the tanuki appeared.

Two rows of untransformed tanuki demons, dressed in mandarin jackets and carrying long swords, walked on either side, with the Eight Hundred Tanuki Eiji in the middle.

The human superhumans stopped whispering.

The Tanuki clan is definitely a well-known yokai force in the four kingdoms, ranking among the top three. Although what we see here is only one of them, it should not be underestimated.

If we want to deal with it, at least four or five human superhuman forces would need to unite.

The Eight Hundred Tanuki Eishi was a famous yokai before the revival of spiritual energy, and a descendant of the bronze yokai Eight Hundred Tanuki, whose strength should not be underestimated.

However, while everyone's attention was focused on Yao Tanuki Eishi, Choso Yoshiyama was quietly observing his surroundings.

Didn't you say you'd step in and resolve the issue all at once? Why didn't you show up?

At this moment, Yaoli Yongzhi spoke up: "Yaoli is deeply honored to have so many heroes come to this gathering. I know everyone's purpose, so I won't waste any more words. Today, we're discussing the ownership of the secret realm, and everyone will rely on their own abilities. If someone defeats our representative, we will voluntarily relinquish it. If we are fortunate enough to achieve final victory, then this matter should be dropped!"

As soon as Yaozhi said this, the scene erupted in uproar, and many people were furious!

You fat raccoon, do you really think you raccoon demons are invincible?

This means they actually intend to challenge all our forces with the power of their entire clan? Utterly arrogant!

The superhumans below were already itching for a fight and were filled with resentment. If someone were to shout, "We don't need to talk about loyalty with demons and evil people. Let's all fight side by side!", a brawl would probably break out on the spot.

Yao Tanuki Eishi suddenly said loudly, "Because there are so many people and it will take too long, let's all nominate a representative. We can't have dozens of people here taking turns, can we?"

Its sound was like the resounding of a bronze bell, instantly suppressing the noise.

The people around looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Of the seventeen factions present, seventeen elite superhumans could be assembled.

Even if the tanuki demon is strong, it's impossible for it to defeat them all... So, competitors are those in the same industry?!

Those who had thought of this all looked around at the people around them, already thinking about how to sabotage their teammates.

"Alright, let's begin! Who wants to go first!"

Yao Tanuki Eishi threw off his large haori, revealing the tight-fitting clothes underneath, and his hands were also equipped with gleaming hook claws.

After whispering for about ten seconds, someone suddenly shouted, "I'll do it!"

A burly man wearing metal boxing gloves stepped forward from the crowd. He was the head of the Kongo Ryuu Karate Dojo, with Iron 4-star strength.

Although the strength of the King Kong Fall Dojo is average, with only four extraordinary individuals, the dojo master is still quite powerful.

He didn't expect to defeat Yao Tanuki Eishi when he came out to take the lead; all he wanted was to make a name for himself.

“Good! Your courage is commendable, please!” Yaozhi called out.

After a fierce battle, Yao Tanuki Eiji defeated six extraordinary individuals in a short period of time, especially the last one, a veteran ninja of the Dragonfire Style with a Black Iron Rank of 5. His technique of combining illusion and fire release was truly versatile and unpredictable.

In order to defend against that fire-style ninjutsu, Yao Tanuki Eishi consumed too much spiritual energy.

After taking down six people in a row, it was starting to pant.

After all, how could anyone who dares to come out and fight be a weakling? They all have some special skills.

The sheer amount of energy from the relentless battle was taking its toll on Yaoli Yongzhi; his psionic energy was more than half depleted, and his momentum was waning.

However, everyone still found it incredible. Which of the previous six wasn't a renowned hero from all four countries? Yet they were defeated by a single person! Judging from Yao Tanuki Eishi's appearance, although he was quite exhausted, he was still capable of fighting! It was possible for him to take down one or two more.

This monster, famous for decades, is indeed extraordinary. However, there are still eleven people left; they can wear him down to death.

The remaining Tanuki are at most 3- or 4-star Black Iron level, definitely no match for them!

Could it be that these raccoons have already invited other branches of the family over? I haven't heard a word about it!

Everyone was already thinking about letting their teammates go first and then defeating them. So there was a moment of awkward silence as everyone waited for someone else to go up and exchange pieces.

But at this moment, the eight hundred raccoon dogs, Eiji, lowered their stance.

“You are all truly heroes. I am now unable to fight any longer.”

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "Holy crap, is this an admission of defeat? Or is it going to cause infighting among us?"

Someone shouted, "Eight Hundred Foxes, if you admit defeat, then the secret realm will have nothing to do with you!"

Just as Yaozhi was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of a pipa.

It laughed and said, "Of course not, I'm not the only representative on the Tanuki Demon's side. We've invited a powerful figure..."

As they spoke, the pipa music grew more urgent and louder, the sound of the wind carrying the music throughout the valley, creating a stirring atmosphere.

A melancholic voice rang out:

In the endless stream of people

How many are still living in a dream?

Despite how beautiful the clothes are

Her life in the CBD

The emptiness lies in the heart

Unable to resist the invasion of materialism to the end

There was no intimacy in their words.

Words have long since failed to express my meaning.

Boating on the North Sea

The shimmering water reflects the daytime

Rain splattered countless pits on the beach
