Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Even if you want to have an affair, you can't be so blatant about it!

Upon hearing this, she glared at Huomu with annoyance.

That brat, he just had to bring up the very thing he shouldn't have said!

"Don't you know that Lili has already broken off her engagement with Su Shi?"

"Huh?" Huo Mu was dumbfounded.

break off an engagement?!

The moment Huo Mu heard those two words, hundreds of melodramatic scenarios flashed through his mind.

I immediately wanted to speak up for Bai Lili!

He never expected that Su Shi would be this kind of person!

The Thousand Faces family is truly a bunch of bad people!

He made up his mind that he would definitely give Su Shi a good beating in the future to avenge Bai Lili!

Seeing that everyone had misunderstood her staring at Qi Ji, Bai Lili quickly blushed and explained:

"No! It's not what you think! It's just that when Saki was on the stage just now, I saw a white crystal in the corner of his eye, and I thought it was Echo Erosion Syndrome..."

"Echo Erosion Syndrome?" Huomu and Liuli looked puzzled.

He paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

This disease is not common, and very few people know about it.

Bai Lili only found out by chance because her family ran several hospitals.

"Echo Erosion? Oh, you mean that?"

Qi Ji was prepared for this and immediately used [Frost Mimicry] to respond.

"This is just the external circuit when I activate my lineage ability."

As the mask shattered, the [Miracle Mask] transformed into a "virtual" form and merged into Qi Ji's spirit.

The "mimicry patterns" that were originally on the mask are now appearing on his face.

This adds a touch of style to his already handsome face.

As for the original "erosion ice crystals", they were temporarily suppressed by Saki using the concept of "nothingness".

Bai Lili observed carefully for a while and confirmed that it was indeed not a sign of Echo Erosion Syndrome. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was a false alarm!

Just then, Setsuna, who had been watching the game closely, suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no!"

Huo Mu also looked up at the big screen, but his reaction was completely opposite to that of Shana.

"Great!"

Huo Mu shouted excitedly,

"Saki-san's [assistance] can finally take effect!"

……

On the field.

As soon as Pan Yan and his group stepped onto the arena, they were met with a merciless and complete crushing defeat by Kalentia!

Cho-ah was instantly defeated by Dorothy's Moonbeam attack.

Chian's spirit dissipated in Dorian's storm of flower blades.

The rock was firmly held in place by Rina using her mental genealogy.

As for Kitajima's First Day Hao—

He disappeared from everyone's sight the instant the game began.

Pan Yan didn't even have time to bind him with the [Sharing the Mountains] skill!

At this moment, Tianhao, who had entered [invisible] mode, had quietly crept up behind Xia Er.

'You bastard from Kalentia, may you go to hell with me!'

With a "suicide pact" mindset, Tianhao reached out and grabbed at Xia Er's waistband without hesitation.

However, just as Tianhao was about to touch Xia Er, he was suddenly thrown away by an invisible force.

The invisible Tianhao crashed into the light barrier surrounding the arena, his eyes rolled back, and he fell unconscious...

Charles seemed to sense something, and frowned in surprise:

"Are there mosquitoes even in the Tide Contest arena?"

Looking back and finding nothing amiss, Charles then turned his attention back to the match.

"Speaking of which, weren't there four of them? Where did the other one go? Never mind, let's not worry about it for now."

On the stage, only Pan Yan, a member of the top-tier class, remained standing.

Charles urged impatiently, "Why haven't you taken care of him yet?"

"Lord Ciel, this big guy... he's so thick-skinned!" Rina said somewhat awkwardly.

"Dorian, lend a hand."

Dorian was a little annoyed by Charles's bossy tone, but in the end he just shrugged.

"Alright, alright, my young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless petals swept towards the rocky cliff.

To this, Pan Yan could only give a helpless, bitter smile.

As expected, I knew it would end like this...

Just when Pan Yan had given up, a rather familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Pan Yan, I'm here to help you."

I still remember during the audition, Iwao used his body to block Saki, who was in a wheelchair.

Qi Ji lived a solitary life, owing nothing to anyone.

He strode in amidst the myriad petals of Dorian.

Debut.

Save the day.

then--

Clear the area!

……

……

Chapter 122 The Strongest in the Field! The Moon Descends Overnight!

Flowers fluttered and danced around the boy like snowflakes.

Picturesque!

Indeed, here, Saki uses the characteristic of "nothingness" to neutralize the aggressiveness of the flying flowers while preserving their aesthetic appeal.

Thus, Dorian's echo naturally became part of Saki's "entrance effect".

The barrage of comments immediately filled the screen:

"Hilarious! Your brother Ji's little tricks for showing off!"

"But he's really handsome!"

"Feihua is ready, now all we need is a handsome face like Lao Ji's!"

……

Saki glanced at the comments, suppressing the urge to burst out laughing, and then casually used [None] to erase the mental echo that Rina had applied to Iwao.

The restraints suddenly came loose, and Pan Yan staggered a step before regaining his balance.

He had just recognized Saki's voice.

What I don't understand is—

How did Saki-kun end up in their match?

With this question in mind, Pan Yan turned his head to look.

Then, he witnessed a scene that almost made him scream "Holy crap!"

All I saw was—

Amidst the falling blossoms, a tall, slender figure stood silently.

The faint silhouette of the red and gold dial appeared behind him.

His face was so handsome that it seemed to be from another dimension than the rock!

They're almost not even in the same style anymore!

Pan Yan froze, then instinctively exclaimed, "Wait, handsome, who are you?!"

He had never seen anyone this handsome in the City of Fire!

"I am so lonely."

It really is Saki-chan? ??

I recognized the voice, but...

Where's your mask?

"Pick it."

"Bro, could you please put your mask back on? You're so handsome, it puts so much pressure on me!"

"what?"

Saki looked puzzled and glanced at Iwao with surprise.

I thought to myself, "Your face is so unconventional, we're not even on the same wavelength."

What kind of pressure do you have?

Where does the pressure come from?

I never realized that this big guy, Iwao, actually had a good sense of humor.

……

On the other side of the arena, Xia Er frowned as he watched Qi Ji suddenly descend from the sky.

I have no recollection of him, yet he looks strangely familiar.

Have we... met before?

In response to Ciel's question, Saki simply replied:

"Who knows?"

As he spoke, Saki slowly and deliberately loosened his tie, and the blurry clock face behind him gradually became clear.

"I generally can't remember unimportant people."

Upon hearing this, Charles was stunned for a moment.

This was the first person who dared to speak to him in this tone and manner since he came to the City of Fire.

Do you know who I am?

"I have no interest in getting to know a piece of trash."

Xia Er had just called Su Shi a "waste," and Qi Ji couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.

Therefore, I will return the words verbatim.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ji turned to look at Pan Yan. Before he could even speak, Pan Yan had already started to put on his armor.
