I guess, no matter what the final result of this [Kenwon Fatal Knockout Tournament] is, after this match is completely over, this umbrella company will probably make some big moves! Now is a great time to invest in them. Even if you are not optimistic about this new umbrella company itself, investing in this guy named Nan Tianren will surely be profitable in the future!"

More than half an hour later, in the infirmary of the [Dome Arena].

"Hmm~ Strange... No! Familiar ceiling!"

Nan Tianren slowly woke up while lying on the bed in the infirmary.

I don't know if it was because this was Nan Tianren's second time using [Liberation], or because Nan Tianren suffered less damage in this battle, but just over half an hour had passed, and [Kenwon Fatal Knockout Tournament] had only been played for two more rounds before Nan Tianren woke up from his coma.

The two matches were the third match of the top 8 of the Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament, where the representative fighter of the Western Security Guard, the Strangler, Kanai Kokusou, fought against the representative fighter of Wakasakura Life, the Executioner, Akoya Kiyoaki. In the end, Kanai Kokusou won the match.

In the fourth match of the Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament, the representative fighter of the Village of Dawn, [Roaring Fighting Spirit] Kaizuka Sappain, faced the representative fighter of the Shinomiya Group, [Magic Spear] Kuroki Gensai. In the end, Kuroki Gensai won the match.

[Congratulations to the host! Congratulations to the host! 】

[Your mission: Create Umbrella Corporation and make it a well-known pharmaceutical company. Already completed! ]

[Mission Reward: A complete set of research data on the T virus has been uploaded to your brain.]

[Host, do you want to receive the Sun Stairs Flower now? ]

As soon as Nan Tianren opened his eyes, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Don't worry, let's talk about the Sun Stairs Flower after I return to the company. I didn't expect the mission to be completed so easily? I thought I had to win the [Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament] and become the [President of the Kengan Association] to complete this mission."

Nan Tianren also replied in his mind.

[After all, your opponent in this match is that [Tongu of Destruction] Gana-Gar, a fighter sent by the current Kengankai president. He was a favorite to win the championship, but he was suddenly defeated by you so easily, and the Umbrella Corporation also became famous in one battle, so the mission was naturally completed.]

[By the way, your next mission is to make Umbrella Corporation the number one pharmaceutical company in Japan.]

[Task Reward: A complete set of research data on the Praka parasite and an amber-type Praka parasite.]

[Of course, if you can continue to win like this, defeat all the fighters in this Kengan Fatal Knockout Tournament, become the champion, and become the next Kengan Association president, then this mission will surely be easily accomplished.]

"Alright! Then keep up the good work! Aim for the throne of [President of Kengankai]! Let's charge!"

Nan Tianren patted his cheeks and stood up.

"Are you awake? Mr. Nan Tianren!"

Hearing the noise coming from the infirmary, Doctor Yingchu also appeared here at the right time:

"It seems that you did not follow the doctor's advice and still used [Liberation]."

"Hmm~ah! Right...yes, let's not talk about that for now, that...the game! Right! How's the game going? Are the round of 16 over?"

After a brief hesitation, Nan Tianren asked Dr. Yingchu back.

"No, you woke up pretty quickly this time. Only two rounds of the 16-to-8 match have just passed, and the fifth match is just about to begin. However, the fifth match should also be over soon."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"The reason is simple, because one of the players in this fifth match once defeated my opponent!"

"Defeat your opponent?"

"Yes! It was the Snake Master Yamazaki Ryuji who had committed the murder of entire families, not even sparing women and children! Although he won the battle with me, there is no doubt that he was poisoned by my pufferfish toxin! By now, he would have died of the poison. How can a dead person participate in the Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament?"

However, just as Dr. Yingchu finished speaking, on the screen in the infirmary, the host Katara Meika had just finished her introduction:

"Next up! It's the Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament! The fifth match of the top 8! The Nogi Group's representative fighter, the Floating Cloud, Hatsumi Izumi! versus the Juou Communication's representative fighter, the Snake User, Yamazaki Ryuji!"

After Katara Sayako finished her introduction, a giant hand grasped the corner of the wall of the contestants' entrance, and Yamazaki Ryuji, who should have died from the poison, stepped onto the ring of the [Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament] again.

"What?! Impossible! Yamazaki Ryuji is not dead?! How is this possible?!"

Doctor Yingchu in the infirmary suddenly exclaimed:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He should have been dead! The pufferfish toxin I used cannot be cured by the medical institutions on this island alone! Is there any medical equipment on the island that I don't even know about?

That's not right. Is there any need to hide this kind of medical equipment? Could it be that Yamazaki Ryuji's body has antibodies to pufferfish toxin? That's not right either.

Wait a minute! I think I know what's going on! So that's it! It's very simple! Although there is no evidence, there are many companies on the island that bring their own doctors and do not use the official medical care provided by the [Kengankai]. And the company that can deal with this pufferfish toxin is probably the only one!

The company to which the fighter [Tiger] Wakatsuki Bushi belongs is Furumi Pharmaceutical!

On the other hand, the president of Imperial University has already approached Gu Hai Pharmaceutical's chairman, Gu Hai Ba Ping:

"Explain yourself to me! Furumi Hachipei! Why did you want to treat that perverted murderer, Ryuji Yamazaki, who could kill even the elderly and children? Why?!"

"You ask why?"

Gu Hai Baping replied with a relaxed look:

"Please, I work for a pharmaceutical company. As long as someone asks for help, I will help him, that's all."

"Doctor's ethics? You are a capitalist who puts profit above all else. You don't think I will let it go if you say something like this!"

The president of Imperial University continued to roar in complete disbelief.

"Well, in that case, I'll just have to tell the truth."

"Okay! Then tell me! What is it all about?!"

"The answer is 'opponent'!"

"opponent?"

"That's right! It's an 'opponent'! You are not a fighter, nor a sponsor of fighters. You are just the president of a university, a middleman who assigns tasks to agents by the government. So you don't understand what a fighter's desire for an 'opponent' is!"

"A fighter's desire for an opponent?"

"Yes, for my fighter, Wakatsuki Bushi, the opponent of Yamazaki Ryuji in this match, Hatsumi Izumi, was one of the only two people in the world who had defeated him. Wakatsuki Bushi wanted to defeat him head-on to prove that he had become stronger.

However, Hatsumi Izumi is a problematic fighter. When he is in excellent condition, he may be one of the strongest fighters in this [Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament]. However, when he is in poor condition, he may not even pass the preliminaries of the [Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament].

In order to ensure that Wakatsuki Samurai is in the best condition when he meets Hatsumi Izumi in the competition, a certain amount of battles with a certain intensity are necessary, and Yamazaki Ryuji is the necessary sacrifice to make Hatsumi Izumi in the best condition. Therefore, we, Gu Hai Pharmaceutical, took action to cure the pufferfish toxin in his body. "

"That's it?!"

After hearing a reason that was even more ridiculous than a doctor's medical ethics, the president of Imperial Capital University just shook his head and said nothing more.

Back at the competition, Yamazaki Ryuji moved his wrists and shoulders while speaking to his opponent, Hatsumi Izumi:

"Ah~ It seems that I can never get used to competitions."

"I feel the same way. Competitions and such are so troublesome."

Hatsumi Izumi nodded and replied in a nonchalant manner, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be as relaxed as he said it when facing Yamazaki Ryuji.

──Although he can’t be said to be in perfect condition now, he is in good condition overall. However, if he has to deal with Yamazaki Ryuji next, this may not be enough.

"Both sides are ready! Let the game begin!"

Following the order from the host Katahara Shoka, Hatsumi Izumi took the lead in launching the attack and rushed towards Yamazaki Ryuji.

But Yamazaki Ryuji simply raised his arms high and folded his wrists behind his back.

──【Snake Master】!

Yamazaki Ryuji swung his arms with all his might, and Hatsumi Izumi's footsteps also stopped in an instant. In front of him, about two meters away from Yamazaki Ryuji, a big hole had been blasted out by Yamazaki Ryuji's [Snake User].

Hatsumi Izumi immediately reorganized himself, and two meters away from Yamazaki Ryuji, he accelerated and circled in an arc, came behind Yamazaki Ryuji, and attempted to launch an attack in Yamazaki Ryuji's blind spot.

But Yamazaki Ryuji just turned around slowly, leaned forward and spread his arms, making a gesture as if he wanted to grapple, forcing Hatsumi Izumi not to dare to move forward even a single step.

Seeing this, Chu Jianquan had no choice but to move in circles with Yamazaki Ryuji as the center, looking for an opportunity to find the opponent's weakness.

"Before you find Yamazaki Ryuji's weakness, Hatsumi Izumi will tire herself to death if she keeps running like this."

It was still that ordinary bearded uncle──Kuroki Gensai who made such an evaluation.

Facing Hatsumizumi who didn't dare to attack, Yamazaki Ryuji was the first to catch the opponent's movement trajectory. He raised his right hand again, moved closer to Yamazaki Ryuji, and a [Snake Master] whizzed towards Hatsumizumi's head.

Seeing what Yamazaki Ryuji did, Hatsumi Izumi finally smiled for the first time.

──It’s a trick!

Hatsumi Izumi, who was well prepared, stopped in an instant. Yamazaki Ryuji's [Snake User] brushed past his nose, and Hatsumi Izumi seized the flaw revealed by Yamazaki Ryuji at this moment and immediately shot a finger-piercing eye towards Yamazaki Ryuji's left eye.

Chapter 44 Foolish Katsumi

"Well done!"

Yamazaki Ryuji quickly lowered his head and used his brow bone to push against Hatsumi Izumi's finger, easily saving his eyes.

Although he failed to insert the ward, Hatsumi Izumi immediately retreated to a place two meters away from Yamazaki Ryuji, gasping for breath.

Under the extremely high pressure of possible death at any time, after the long run just now, the intense exercise still made Chu Jianquan consume too much physical energy.

However, Yamazaki Ryuji had no intention of giving Hatsumi Izumi a chance to rest. He immediately stepped forward and slashed with all his strength at the place where Hatsumi Izumi was.

Seeing this, Hatsumi Izumi had to run again and continue to avoid Yamazaki Ryuji's attacks.

However, just as Chu Jianquan was dodging, dozens of sharp arcs of light circled in the air, densely covering all the space near Chu Jianquan.

The ground exploded wildly like a landmine. Although none of these attacks hit Hatsuma Izumi, Yamazaki Ryuji still successfully achieved his goal of forcing his opponent to continuously consume a lot of physical strength.

As Yamazaki Ryuji's speed of swinging the [Snake Master] increased, his hands completely disappeared, and the only figure left on the ring was Hatsumi Izumi, who was twisting and turning amid the sounds of explosions.

At this moment, Chu Jianquan was already sweating profusely, but he was not sweating because of long-term physical exertion. After all, not much time had passed since the battle began.

The real reason why Chu Jianquan was sweating profusely at this moment was fear, the fear of facing death at any time. Under such high-intensity pressure, he kept sweating coldly. After all, if he was not careful, the hand knife called death would literally fall on his head.

"Well done! You, the guy named Hatsumi Izumi! You overcame your fear of death and fought me to this extent. I recognize your strength!"

Yamazaki Ryuji spoke while continuously swinging his lightning whip, and the hand knife barrier that could be used for attack or defense filled all the space around him.

After several feints downwards, blocking all of Hatsumi Izumi's movements, Yamazaki Ryuji's ultimate move [Snake User] immediately rushed towards Hatsumi Izumi's head.

"boom!"

Hit the target! The sword-like hand knife was about to smash Chu Jianquan's dead head! Chu Jianquan's entire head was about to hit the ground!

——I can dissolve it! This level of attack can be dispelled immediately by using the force-dissipating rotation of the body!

Hatsumi Izumi made such a judgment, but would Yamazaki Ryuji give him a chance to use his energy to neutralize the attack? !

──Not a slash! But a grab and throw!

Yamazaki Ryuji waved his hand, grabbed Hatsumi Izumi's hair, and stopped the opponent's half-exerted force. At the same time, he pulled the opponent's head towards himself and immediately hit Hatsumi Izumi in the face with a headbutt.

──The knife strike just now was just a feint, the real killing move is actually this headbutt!

The bridge of Hatsumi Izumi's nose was broken, and a large amount of blood mixed with nasal bone fragments continuously gushed out of his mouth and nose. However, Yamazaki Ryuji's attack was far from over!

Yamazaki Ryuji then threw Hatsumi Izumi to the ground with all his might, and using both hands, he fired the [Snake Master] continuously. In less than half a second, Hatsumi Izumi was instantly blasted into a bloody mess.
