I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Unexpectedly, it was all to allow the already powerful enemy to take their strength to the next level!

This brief battle was both unexpected and thrilling, as she neither guessed its beginning nor its end.

"strangeness……"

Kitada Kei, standing nearby, muttered to himself, wondering where the crimson katana that Uesugi Tetsu had originally carried at his waist had gone.

He searched for a long time before finally discovering that it was in the hands of that girl whom no one could ignore.

How did Tokugawa Ririko end up in her hands?

In something as important as seeding, would you really lend out your long-held sword?

What is their relationship?

Kitada Kei's long-dormant gossip instincts have been rekindled.

"The knot... is over?"

Most of the ordinary spectators were staring blankly at the two motionless figures on the stage, not understanding what had happened.

They felt suddenly much more relaxed for some reason, but they had no idea why the oppressive feeling from before had disappeared.

Only Onmyoji with sufficient cultivation and swordsmen who have been immersed in the way of the sword for a long time know what happened in that instant.

The power did not leak out!

Neither Uesugi Tetsu nor Kitamura Yoyu wasted a single bit of strength when they swung their swords at each other!

Standing behind Kitamura Yoyu, Kaga Kiyomitsu, which Uesugi Tetsu had created with his own spiritual energy, shattered inch by inch.

"Uesugi-kun... have you remembered my sword?"

Behind them came Kitamura Yoyu's hoarse, shrill voice, as if it had been cut off.

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Tetsu raised his hand and touched the base of his neck where a sharp, stabbing pain had encircled him.

All that could be seen was that the fingertips were spotless and as smooth as ever.

He looked down and saw the flaming armor and the circulating qi that had been slashed open, and shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, it's still a little bit short."

"Yeah……"

A smoother, more even line of blood appeared at the base of Kitamura Yoyu's neck than when Uesugi Tetsu had swung his sword last time.

His voice faded, falling into the dripping blood.

"That's a real pity."

Without hesitation, the spirits guarding the sidelines entered the arena, and the doctor helped Kitamura Yoyu before the bloodline had fully appeared.

The referee immediately raised his hand to announce the result.

"—Uesugi Tetsuya wins!"

Immediately, shouts of "Ha!" echoed throughout the audience.

They knew that Uesugi Tetsuya would most likely win...

but.

Can anyone tell them what just happened?

How did the battle really end in a single strike? How did Kitamura Yoyu lose, and how did Uesugi Tetsu manage to win?

The audience had a million questions on their minds.

Fortunately, the director was quick-witted enough to pull up the footage from a small camera placed inside the ring, slow it down by a factor of ten thousand, and display it on the large screen suspended in the center of the arena.

A few seconds later, the venue fell silent again.

It wasn't because I was still confused, but because I was speechless with shock.

In super slow motion, everything that happened during the close-quarters combat between the two was presented to the audience.

Its brilliance left everyone thoroughly entertained.

"One, ten thousand times?! Time has been slowed down by ten thousand times?!"

Soon, someone noticed the “×1/10000” that was deliberately placed in the lower right corner of the screen.

"Ten thousand times!?"

One sentence ignited the entire venue in an instant...

No, it wasn't just the venue; the live stream rooms and even online forums were flooded with comments!

Countless comments appeared within a dozen seconds, even crashing many small websites that weren't properly maintained.

Many ordinary people knew beforehand that a new era had arrived, and that the extraordinary were powerful.

However, there is not much concrete idea of ​​exactly how strong it is.

But today I have it.

Because of this scale that slows down the flow of time by ten thousand times, and because of the two people who, even on such a scale, are wielding their swords at a speed that is understood by ordinary people.

……

"Lord Che, you were so cool just now."

After being miraculously healed by the doctor and returned to his seat, Uesugi Tetsu heard the two-foot-tall man he had picked up again chuckle and say something.

Among those below, Kitamura Yoyu, who had also been cured, was listless and sighed in self-reproach.

“No need to belittle yourself, Kitamura-kun.” Uesugi Tetsu gave him a thumbs up. “I only learned a trick from my warm-up partner, and I’m barely a cut above you.”

"Afterwards, I'll have to ask Kitamura-kun for some advice on iaido, as I've never been very good at it."

The warm-up target...?

Kitamura Yoyu glanced at Yanliu below, who was clenching his fists tightly and remaining silent, and let out a puzzled "hmm" in his mind.

Does this guy have some merit that others can learn from?

Kitamura Yoyuu didn't think much of it and nodded to Uesugi Tetsuya.

“Of course we welcome Uesugi-kun.”

Uesugi Tetsu, whose neck pain hadn't subsided, twisted his neck and discovered that Ririko's ranking below him was skyrocketing.

In a short period of time, the number has already reached more than twenty.

I estimate it won't be long before she can take over as the goalkeeper for me.

Meanwhile, Yagyu Akira has already secured twenty-ninth place.

However, it was a bit difficult for him to reach this ranking, because he had already failed once when he tried to challenge for the 28th place.

As for Akechi Yuya, this little brother from Arakawa Ward... he's already dropped to 98th place and is currently battling it out with the 100th-ranked player.

It looks like it's likely to be phased out.

However, my little brother's strength is not too weak now, and he is capable of dealing with one and a half or more ordinary three-and-a-half-star demons.

It can only be said that the seeding battles organized by the Special Affairs Department are quite prestigious.

To get into the top 64, you need to be able to take on at least two ordinary three-and-a-half-star demons on your own.

Around twenty people would all have the strength to fight a Grandmaster-level mage in a one-on-one battle.

Lost in thought, Uesugi Tetsu's eyelids twitched slightly.

He discovered that just as Ririko was about to challenge for tenth place, she was thwarted.

Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the man with a black haori and an effeminate face who was already facing Raitsuna.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had already memorized the player roster information, thought to himself—

Aonosuke, a famous figure in Chiba Prefecture, is also an Onmyoji skilled in using shikigami, but it is said that he is also proficient in the art of loukokudo (a type of ancient Chinese divination).

The best achievement revealed was that he single-handedly faced several rampaging demons when the aftermath of the wave arrived, and then subdued them all...

It's likely he won't be satisfied with tenth place.

Rather than continuing to be challenged and remaining in the same position, it's better to keep moving forward.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up at Takizawa Kai, who was slightly startled and looked over.

First, reclaim your original position.

—Takizawa Kai is a spirit body of the Five Elements. Perhaps I can discover the secrets of the Five Elements' rotation and connection within him.

Yes, we have to play this game.

We absolutely have to fight.

We must make him give it his all and beat himself to death!

We can't let him admit defeat so easily.

Then Uesugi Tetsuya looked up with a smile and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Takizawa-kun, are you going to just admit defeat?"

A spirited young man like Takizawa Kai could hardly withstand such provocation in public.

His expression immediately darkened, and he abandoned his plan to avoid the limelight.

Chapter 293 Spell Turret: Takizawa Kai's Five Elements Mysteries Revealed Before Your Eyes! Uesugi Tetsu: I enjoyed the meal, thank you for the treat!

Of course, Takizawa Kai would not choose to admit defeat.

On the contrary, in the two battles just now between Uesugi Tetsuya, Enryu, and Kitamura Yoyu, he had already obtained a lot of first-hand information about this terrifying opponent for free.

With an unequal intelligence advantage at his disposal, Takizawa Kai was quite confident.

—Not only is he outstanding in breathing techniques and swordsmanship, but his lightning magic is also exceptional, far surpassing any of the five elements in his magic.

In addition, not only was Uesugi Tetsu's Qi circulation enhanced by spiritual power, but the opponent also seemed to possess a defensive Yin-Yang technique related to the fire element.

Takizawa Kai couldn't recognize this Yin-Yang technique; it was most likely an ancient technique from hundreds of years ago.

Judging from the two matches just now, the combined effect of this technique and the circulation of internal energy resulted in very high defense.

At least the first two failed to cause any significant physical damage to Uesugi Tetsuya.

However, his advantage lies in his mastery of the Five Elements techniques, which he can freely combine and use. He has also learned dozens of different types of techniques, both large and small.

Moreover, Takizawa Kai has not made a single move since the seeding rounds began.

Uesugi Tetsu knew nothing about him, but he... had already analyzed the other's fighting style!

This is an overwhelming advantage.

"Choosing to agree to Uesugi Tetsu's request and switch rankings with him was definitely the right choice I ever made."

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how he could defeat a monster on par with Miss Yuan.

Takizawa Kai lowered his head and silently stared at Uesugi Tetsu and Nisha-sama, who were looking at him from below.

Now, the only variable is the shikigami legend of Uesugi Tetsu in the intelligence report—"Eight-foot-tall Man".

If Uesugi Tetsuya is an eight-foot-tall woman, then she is definitely not an ordinary ghost story about an eight-foot-tall woman.

Let's set aside this unexpected factor for now.

Takizawa Kai put aside the unknown variables and continued to feel the gazes cast upon him, keeping a close eye on Uesugi Tetsu, who was still staring at him.

Considering the incredible speed Uesugi Tetsuya can achieve after charging up his power, and the techniques he hasn't yet used...

So, should we try to extend the combat time as much as possible?

Takizawa Kai calmly conducted a brainstorming session.

—Over time, it will not only be enough for him to set up many defensive spells and traps to prevent being killed in one strike, but it will also be able to consume the spiritual power in Uesugi Tetsuya's body to gain an advantage.

After all, he was a Five Elements Spiritual Body. Even though Uesugi Tetsuya had more spiritual energy than him, his recovery speed was definitely slower.

With this in mind, Takizawa Kai, having set his strategic direction, felt a little more confident.

He glanced at Uesugi Tetsu's empty waist, then turned his head and saw Tokugawa Ririko, who was wielding that crimson katana on the field, cutting through everything and already reaching fifteenth place.

—Uesugi Tetsu's sword is still in Tokugawa's hands. Ha, does he look down on me?

There couldn't be anything better.

A calm anger rose in Takizawa Kai's heart.
