Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Waaaaaah!!"...

All the contestants in the arena tried their best to defend themselves, but the attacks were too dense. In the blink of an eye, everyone fell to the ground. With one blow, hundreds of contestants were all knocked down.

Chapter 23 A Little Bit Shock

Boom!

The entire arena nearly exploded.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

"So cool! Arthur!"

"Mr. Arthur~~~!!"

"Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!!"...

The commentator also stood up and shouted excitedly:

The outcome is decided!

"Contestant Arthur, with just one strike! Defeated all his other opponents!!!"

"Truly worthy of being the strongest nine-star swordsman in our Kingdom of Sobea—!!"

Qi Yan was somewhat bewildered: "No...no, this is magic! Isn't this against the rules?"

"Magic? No, this is swordsmanship. A magic swordsman is still a swordsman, and all those who can become high-level swordsmen are magic swordsmen. Where did you come from that village? You don't even understand this?" The enthusiastic man next to Qi Yan explained.

Qi Yan was speechless. You were right, he really did come from a world without magic.

He originally thought that this place was just about using magic to enhance physical abilities and then gathering magic power to unleash some slashes, but he didn't expect that magic could also be included.

Erza's expression turned very serious when she saw Arthur's attack. He defeated so many people with a single blow. Is this the strongest nine-star swordsman in the Kingdom of Sobea?

If she changed her clothes, she should be able to withstand that attack; if she didn't, she wasn't sure.

"Tch! Still so eager to show off!"

Clay was a little annoyed to see that the other person was so much more popular than him.

The king looked at the screen and nodded in satisfaction. He had watched Clay grow up since he was a child. Clay was a swordsmanship genius from a young age and was never arrogant or conceited. He had always worked hard to improve his swordsmanship and his strength was increasing rapidly. If the Magic Council did not only define mages, Clay would definitely have a place among the Ten Wizard Saints.

"Next up is Group D, the last group. Contestants, please enter!"

After carrying all the defeated swordsmen away for treatment, the commentator announced that the last group of contestants could enter the arena.

"Is it my turn yet?"

Qi Yan stood up and walked towards the arena's entrance for the contestants.

As soon as they entered the arena, another burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted.

"Eren! Eren! Eren!!"

Qi Yan turned around and saw a young man with fiery red hair, about his age, enter the stage. The young man smiled brightly and waved to the audience.

"Wow! It's Allen!!"

"So handsome!!"

"Go for it, Allen!! Defeat them all!!"

Many girls in the audience screamed. Allen was very handsome, had superb swordsmanship, and most importantly, was young, only nineteen years old. He was the dream lover of many girls.

Although Clay and Arthur weren't old, they were both more than ten years older than Allen, which would make them almost half-old men in the eyes of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

"Tch! Just a brat."

Seeing how popular Allen was with young girls, Clay felt a little jealous.

"It's the genius swordsman, Allen!!"

"He is the youngest nine-star swordsman in our Kingdom of Sobea!!"

"He's also the only nine-star swordsman in this group! I wonder if he can sweep through the fray like the other two nine-star swordsmen!! Let's wait and see!!"

Qi Yan glanced at the other person and then walked into the arena.

After taking the stage, Qi Yan realized that everyone was avoiding those with higher star ratings and prioritizing eliminating those with lower star ratings. As soon as he entered the stage, he felt no less than ten gazes falling on him.

It seemed they were treating him like an easy target, and Qi Yan couldn't help but smirk slightly.

Anyway, I'll have to take off this disguise after winning the prize money in the competition, so I might as well give these people a little shock.

"This match is definitely a foregone conclusion!"

"Yes! Allen is a nine-star genius swordsman!"

"As expected, the swordsmen of our Kingdom of Sobea are still the strongest. Only that female swordsman is a little better, but she is still no match for our country's nine-star swordsmen."

"Let's just enjoy Allen's performance!"

"That's right! That's right!"...

Everyone in the audience felt that the outcome of this match was already decided. The difference between a nine-star swordsman and an eight-star swordsman was enormous, and geniuses were completely different from ordinary people.

"Round 1, Group C matches, begin!!"

Clang!

With the sound of the opening gong, the fourth battle immediately began.

Almost at the very moment the gong was struck.

"Breath of the Sun, Eleventh Form, Dragon Halo, Head Dance!!!"

"hold head high-----!!!"

A high-pitched dragon roar echoed across the arena, and in the next instant, a giant fiery dragon snaked and danced through all the contestants.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Waaaaaah!!"...

All the contestants, including the genius nine-star swordsman Allen, were sent flying by this attack.

The fire dragon disappeared, and a man with long, deep red hair and wearing a red haori stood where the fire dragon's head had vanished, with the race number '0556' hanging on his back.

Bang bang bang bang! !

All the contestants fell to the ground and lost their fighting ability.

The entire venue suddenly fell silent.

The three people in the players' rest area—Erza, Clay, and Arthur—all stood up, staring in shock at the calm-looking man in the arena.

Clay stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "This...how is this possible?! How could anyone's swordsmanship reach this level? No, impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Arthur said solemnly, "It has already happened right before our eyes. How can you say it's impossible? That man is standing right there."

"So strong! Absolutely too strong!"

Erza couldn't utter any more words, her eyes fixed on the man's figure in the arena; shock and astonishment were not enough to describe her feelings.

One word popped into her mind: God!!

If there truly are gods among swordsmen, then this man is the God of Swords.

The king slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, staring at Qi Yan on the screen with a shocked expression. The king was also a veteran nine-star swordsman, once revered as the strongest swordsman in the Kingdom of Sobea. Later, as he grew older, he gradually retired, and the young Arthur became the strongest nine-star swordsman.

But although he was old, he had gained even more knowledge and experience.

Those unfamiliar with swordsmanship might see no difference between Qi Yan and Arthur's attacks, both of which clear the field in one strike. However, in the eyes of a true top swordsman, the difference between the two is far greater than a fraction.

It's a world of difference.

Chapter 24 God of Swordsmanship

Qi Yan's attack just now seemed fierce, but in reality, everyone just lost consciousness and was not seriously injured.

In an instant, more than a hundred people were stunned without being injured at such a fast speed. Such precise control was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

This is no longer human, it's a god!!

This man is simply a sword god!!

"Minister! Minister!!"

"Your Majesty! I'm here! I'm here!!"

Hearing the king's urgent call, the minister rushed over.

"I need all the information on this man within ten minutes!! Quickly!!!"

"Yes Yes!!"

The minister hurriedly ran away, inwardly groaning: "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!"

The king could sense that if it was this man, the dragon-slaying plan would definitely be accomplished.

"What...what just happened?"

"I think I saw a fire dragon pass by, and then it was all over."

"The genius nine-star swordsman Allen was actually killed in an instant?! He was a nine-star swordsman!!"

"Just who is this man?!"...

Gradually, the audience members in the stands also came to their senses and looked at Qi Yan in the arena in shock. He was a nine-star swordsman. There were no more than ten nine-star swordsmen in the entire Kingdom of Sobeia.

Nine-star swordsmen represent the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and they have never heard of any nine-star swordsman being instantly killed.

Even if there is a difference in strength, the battle between two nine-star swordsmen must be extremely intense. Only after using all their skills can one of them defeat the other.

The fact that the Nine-Star Swordsman was instantly killed means one thing: the opponent's swordsmanship was too strong, and the two sides' swordsmanship was not even on the same level.

The outcome is decided!

'Winner: Yoriichi Tsugikuni!!!'

"That's amazing!! This man is incredible!!"

In an instant!! In just an instant!! Over a hundred contestants, all high-level swordsmen, including one genius nine-star swordsman, were all instantly killed!!

"And to keep these people only stunned and not injured—that control, that swordsmanship!"

"This man isn't human! He's a god!! A god of swordsmanship!!"

The commentator is also quite skilled; he is an eight-star swordsman himself and has keen insight.

"Sword God! Sword God! Sword God!"...

The audience cheered. To them, the higher one's swordsmanship, the more respect one deserved. Qi Yan's swordsmanship was unparalleled.

"We'll have a one-hour break, after which the semi-finals will begin! Please enjoy the amazing performance by our Fencing Babes girl group during this time!!"

Many beautiful girls dressed in cute clothes rushed into the arena to begin their performance.

Qi Yan returned to his own player area. There were four player areas, A, B, C, and D, with one player in each area, so that they would not disturb each other.

Qi Yan returned to the D-zone players' lounge, locked the door from the inside, and then deactivated his transformation.

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Yoriichi Tsugikuni was different from Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra's magic power would be consumed rapidly as soon as he transformed, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni's transformation did not consume much magic power as long as he did not use breathing techniques or fight with special moves. In his extreme state, he could maintain a transformation for more than three or four hours.

However, if powerful moves are used or the battle is intense, this time will be greatly shortened, possibly to three or five minutes.

He needs to take this time to rest, after all, this is about a 2000 million J prize, and he doesn't want to mess things up at this crucial moment.

Qi Yan was unaware that his performance had caused a huge uproar, with everyone discussing where Yoriichi Tsugikuni really came from.

Some say he was a recluse who cultivated alone in his own country, while others say he was a senior swordsman from another country. There are many different opinions.

"No such person found?! What does 'no such person found' mean?!"

The king frowned as he looked at the minister before him.

The minister wiped his sweat and said, "Your Majesty! No such person can be found. I have already sent people to check the list of people who recently entered the city, and there is no one named Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Moreover, the guards have never seen this man before."

"Is it transformation magic?"

The king guessed that transformation magic was a relatively common type of magic, but since it had no combat power, most people disdained to learn it.
