My love index is at its maximum.

The room fell completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Judging from Tsukasa Tazaki's playing style, he always prefers an aggressive start. Before his opponent can even get into position, he'll unleash a barrage of blows through their mask, leaving them utterly helpless.

What is the current situation?

Has the Great Demon King had a change of heart and decided to leave his opponent some dignity?

Sakata's forward moved cautiously, cold sweat beading on his forehead and back.

His mission wasn't to win, and he knew he couldn't win. His purpose in going on stage was simply to exhaust Tazaki's stamina as much as possible. Now, with Tazaki moving around, it was clear that he was also conserving his energy so that he could be forced off the stage when time was almost up.

This won't do... Sakata Forward was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, raised his bamboo sword, and pressed forward.

In Tazaki Tsukasa's completely dark vision, a bright line suddenly appeared.

The bamboo sword slashed towards his position from the other end of the line... The height and arm span data of this Sakata forward quickly flashed through his mind, and he calculated the spatial coordinate nodes of every part of his body based on the angle of the sword swing.

Although nothing can be seen, thanks to passive perception and powerful computing capabilities, a three-dimensional space appears in the mind, and the opponent's every move is under control.

To my left, at 7:45, the air vibrated irregularly, followed by the sound of a bamboo sword cutting through the air, its target my shoulder.

Right now...

Silently recite it in your heart, then shout it out loud.

"noodle!"

Raise the bamboo knife high with both hands and chop down forcefully.

With a "bang".

The bamboo knife aimed at his left shoulder slowed its momentum and moved away from his position as its owner took a step backward.

"Red wins the first round and takes the point!"

The referee's voice rang out, announcing that Tsukasa Tazaki had taken the lead.

"I'm not going to attack anymore..." Sakata's forward muttered as he got up and returned to the center line to salute.

The second round of the match began, and he stood motionless in place. Since Tazaki Tsukasa wasn't moving, he wouldn't either. It's just a matter of wasting time, right? Who's afraid of who? Come on, come down with me!

After the referee gave the whistle, Tsukasa Tazaki failed to notice the subtle changes in the air.

There was no abnormality in the perception of passivity.

Upon sensing the opponent's intention, he quickly calculated the opponent's current position in the three-dimensional space. The distance to the salute was 0.8 meters, the opponent's height was 1.76 meters, the face was directly in front, and the bamboo sword was 115cm long. To ensure a hit, he needed to retreat before striking...

Tazaki Tsukasa took a slight step back, instantly activating his extraordinary swordsmanship.

"noodle!"

The movement, alternating between retreat and advance, was fluid, swift, and aesthetically pleasing.

"Red wins the second round and takes the point!"

Before the Sakata forwards could even react, they were already eating their second bowl of noodles, enjoying the privilege of an early rest.

During the substitution break in the second game, the male and female hosts launched into a comedic performance, while the guest commentators occasionally offered professional commentary. The audience chanted Tsukasa Tazaki's name, the girls screamed loudly, and the cheering squad members played their instruments.

As Sakata, the vice-forward, entered the field, all sound vanished instantly, and the stadium fell silent.

This excellent spectator etiquette created extremely favorable conditions for Tsukasa Tazaki.

With the referee's signal, the second game officially began.

Tazaki Tsukasa made a probing thrust first.

According to the information provided by Kuriyama Sakura, Sakata is a tall, powerful player with limited footwork. This type of player is very troublesome if they intend to stall for time by only defending and not attacking, so Tazaki Tsukasa needs to take the initiative and attack first.

Deputy Sakata was overjoyed.

According to the match objective, his goal was to use his strength to wear down Tazaki Tsukasa's stamina. After all, no one is made of iron, right? As long as he kept attacking, he could exhaust him!

Now that Tsukasa Tazaki has taken the initiative to attack, it suits his purposes perfectly. He is overjoyed and sets up a high-attack opening, preparing to deflect Tazaki's bamboo sword with an upward slash and then slowly maneuver around him.

But halfway through the stab, Tsukasa Tazaki suddenly pulled his arm back.

Just then, his upward-sweeping bamboo sword grazed the tip of Tazaki's blade. In an instant, Tazaki used his waist to thrust forward, shouting "Men!" and easily taking the book.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, with the contraction and thrust even defying some of the laws of physics.

Sakata, the vice-forward, was completely stunned.

You shrank so suddenly! How did you manage to maintain such a perfect distance? And why is this another slap in the face? Can't you find another spot?

Don't I have any pride?!

In the second round, Sakata, whose mind was completely blank, was utterly defeated and unable to put up any resistance.

The third game begins.

Sakata Nakaken is an agile player. From the start, he kept circling around Tazaki Tsukasa, hoping to use his nimble movements to outmaneuver him.

Even if he can't run out of time, he should try to exhaust the opponent's stamina as much as possible—this is his battle strategy.

Then, because he was too agile and his footsteps were too heavy, he completely exposed his position and was hit hard twice, leaving the field with a face full of grief and indignation.

The fourth game.

Vice-General Sakata immediately adopted a high-profile, aggressive strategy. As soon as the referee shouted "start," he launched a sudden thrust—"Let you be so cocky. Even if I can't beat you, I'll make you look bad!"

Tazaki Tsukasa dodged to the side, avoiding the attack. His ears twitched, and he turned to slash diagonally towards the space at 1:40 to his right.

"noodle!"

Sakata, the vice admiral who had just circled around to launch a sneak attack, was hit squarely on the head.

With a "splat," his foot slipped, and he was knocked to the ground.

Vice Admiral Sakata was dumbfounded.

He racked his brains but still couldn't understand why he had used his head to catch Tsukasa Tazaki's knife.

The audience laughed.

This is what they mean by "directly feeding kills."

The humorous moments on the field can really liven up the atmosphere, but they are a huge test of the athletes' mentality. Vice-captain Sakata was clearly provoked by the audience's laughter, and he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to run back to the locker room to hide.

So he delivered it again.

It successfully demonstrated what it means to catch the blade with a 100% head-on delivery.

The 40,000 spectators, and even the referees and staff, treated it as two accidents and applauded while suppressing their laughter.

The fifth game begins.

Sakata, the captain, was a star player in last year's Yulongqi tournament, having accomplished the feat of defeating fifteen opponents in a single run.

At this point, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

If Tsukasa Tazaki manages to score two more points, he will become only the second player in the history of the Jade Dragon Flag Contest to capture the flag from start to finish.

Their enthusiasm was even higher than that of the female contestant who ranked first yesterday.

After all... the women's competition had one less round than the men's, and Yui Kichikawa only needed 45 kills to capture the flag. The men's competition had one more round, requiring 50 kills to capture the flag. Moreover, the men's competition was of a higher level, more entertaining, and had a completely different level of influence compared to the women's competition.

"In the first round of the fifth game, please salute both players."

"Game start!"

After the referee announced the start of the match, the entire audience stood up and watched intently. In the next few dozen seconds, the men's champion of this year's Jade Dragon Flag competition would most likely be decided, and they would witness the birth of a miracle.

The moment the referee gave the order to start the match, Tsukasa Tazaki rushed out.

A sword cleaved down from above.

At this point in the competition, nothing more needs to be said. While his opponent is undoubtedly strong, with his extraordinary swordsmanship, passive perception, and powerful calculation ability boosted by 9 points of intelligence, he is merely the final stepping stone on his path to becoming the world's most powerful sixteen-year-old.

Tsukasa Tazaki has both that confidence and that ability!

Sakata, the commander, calmly retreated to dodge his attack, then roared and slashed at him head-on.

After Tsukasa Tazaki used the blade of his sword to block the opponent's oncoming slash, he did not pause at all. Taking advantage of the opponent's wide-open defenses, he followed up with a powerful slash, striking the mask and taking the first book.

The entire room fell silent!

You could even hear the heartbeats of the people around you; the air felt heavy, as if it were filled with water.

After easily winning a point, Tazaki Tsukasa's fighting spirit soared. At the start of the second round, he immediately launched a fierce attack with his sword. After his opponent blocked the first six strikes, he directly cut down on Tazaki Tsukasa.

"noodle!"

With a single, decisive strike to the opponent's faceplate, he simultaneously passed through the opponent's side, sheathing his blade in a remarkably stylish pose, bringing this year's Jade Dragon Flag Tournament to a perfect close.

The atmosphere, which had been suppressed for so long, exploded like a nuclear fusion!

"It's born! A miracle has been born!"

The male host, who was very good at setting the mood, jumped onto the commentary stage again, pounding his chest with both hands: "Fifty consecutive wins, one person taking on ten teams to win the championship, the eternal king of the Jade Dragon Flag Competition has been born! Let us shout this name loudly, let us salute the king who has been born!"

The entire audience rose to their feet and applauded, their shouts of "Tsukasa Tazaki!" echoing throughout the stadium!

Gold leaf, a symbol of celebration, floated down from the sky, and a close-up of Tsukasa Tazaki's face appeared on the giant screen inside the stadium. Amidst everyone's anticipation, he slowly removed his mask.

His eyes, which were covered by a strip of cloth, were revealed.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned and began to question the meaning of life.

If winning the championship against ten teams can be called a miracle, then completing the final match blindfolded and relying solely on hearing can only be called a divine feat!

The male host jumped off the commentary platform and ran towards Tsukasa Tazaki.

On the big screen, the boy slowly removed the blindfold from his eyes, his clear, bright eyes, like black pearls, looked at the camera, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

A smile that shines from every angle.

arrogant!

Absolutely perfect!

Arrogant!

The smile of a king standing at the pinnacle!

"Tazaki-san..." The male host pushed his way through the crowd to reach him and handed him the microphone: "Excuse me, how did you do that?"
