Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Even Sakija didn't expect this...

Pan Yan's vital energy was completely drained by Qi Ji, and the two-meter-tall man crashed to the ground like an iron tower with its foundation hollowed out.

—Hey, sorry buddy.

Saki said something to himself, feeling a little embarrassed.

He was so focused on his own pleasure that he forgot to leave two drops for the rock, which was supposed to be his "backup energy source".

But it doesn't matter. Once he leads Pan Yan to victory and enters the third level, Pan Yan's spirit will be cleansed by the Sea of ​​Spiritual Matter and restore it to its full glory.

……

Sensing the increasingly terrifying aura emanating from Saki, Ciel couldn't believe it—

What's going on with this guy in front of me?

Isn't this the Tidal Showdown in the City of Fire?

What happened to the fishpond game we were promised?!

Where did you give it to him?!

This terrifying sense of oppression... even his younger brother couldn't compare!

Damn it! Go for it!

Charles took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm: "Let's attack together! Four against one, the advantage is in our hands!"

"Four against one?"

Qi Ji took a step forward, and the hands on the dial behind him started to turn again, jumping from Moonlight to Vector.

In an instant, crimson light burst forth from his fingertips.

【Guanhong】!

This time, Guan Hong's performance was different from his all-out effort against Hilber.

This was partly due to the boost from the "Moon Descends Overnight" buff, and partly because the people in front of them were far weaker than Sybil.

Therefore, Qi Ji's [Piercing Rainbow] only drew upon the power of a single fragment.

As Saki had said before, he was a person who disliked waste.

In the next instant, Saki flicked a single finger, and a crimson rainbow gracefully swept past.

The spirits of Dorothy, Dorian, and Rina were instantly reduced to transparent.

They vanished into a stream of light on the arena.

One strike, just one strike.

"Now, it's one-on-one."

Saki deliberately saved Ciel for last.

He said he would help Su Shi get revenge—

He did what he said he would do.

Seeing that three of his men had been lost in just a moment, Charles swallowed hard in horror.

He immediately disregarded the fact that continuous use of "overload" would shorten the lifespan of his conceptual weapon or even render it unusable.

Charles immediately unfurled his armor, embedded the Overload Core into his breastplate, and slammed his thumb across the core, causing it to spin.

In an instant, power returned to my entire body!

With the added boost of conceptual weaponry, the Charry's glory is rekindled!

"I am the strongest!"

To boost his confidence, Charles roared.

With a vector echo that has no cooldown and no cost, he can't possibly lose!

"It's really ugly."

However, Saki's voice faintly reached his ear.

"To call yourself the strongest with this level of skill is to desecrate the word 'strongest'."

How can one become the strongest by relying on borrowed power?

Experience it for yourself!

What defines the strongest?

Qi Ji used his finger as a sword and slashed out.

A crimson rainbow streaked across the sky.

Xia Er's pupils contracted, his expression turned solemn, and he immediately turned his mental energy output power to the maximum!

He activated the echo!

【Vectorization Made Easier】!

Saki laughed at this.

How can you change a vector?

Having mastered the fragments of mythology, his vector power surpasses that of the Ciel!

A rainbow streaked across the sky.

Char's armor shattered with a crash, and the Overload Core fell to the ground.

【The Moon Descends Overnight】 showcases Saki's perfect control over "narrative".

Therefore, this [Piercing Rainbow] strike just happened to cripple Xia Er.

While rendering the latter powerless to resist, it also prevented his spirit from immediately disintegrating.

"Can you feel it? This is the strongest."

I felt it, I felt it...

Charles's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

The oppressive feeling that Qi Ji had given him in that instant even reminded him of his sister when she was in a rage.

He was really scared.

Even after the attack, the crimson light at Qi Ji's fingertips had not dissipated.

He looked at Charles and asked the latter a question with a hint of mischief:

What is the result of subtracting 91 from 10086?

“…Huh?” Xia Er was stunned, wondering why Qi Ji was asking him this at this moment.

Can't answer?

With a flick of his finger, a crimson light flashed, and a gash was precisely cut open in the spirit body at Xia Er's ankle.

"what!!!"

For a moment, Ciel's screams echoed throughout the arena.

Spirits are more sensitive to pain than the physical body.

Thanks to Saki, Ciel is now experiencing this firsthand.

……

This scene on the field once again shocked the entire audience!

Everyone stared in disbelief, feeling as if it were all a dream.

"Am I... really not dreaming?"

"It hurts! It hurts! It's not a dream! Hahaha, it's not a dream!"

"Silent God! Awesome!!!"

No one thought that Saki's behavior at that moment was wrong.

Because what Charles did to Su Shi just now was even more outrageous than this!

He deserved it!

Moreover, it was the people of Kalentia who started the humiliation of the City of Fire fighters in the arena!

This has almost become a staple of their program every year.

Everyone in the City of Fire has been holding back for too many years.

Now, seeing Saki retaliate in kind, I just feel so good!

Even when Sakiji throws out a math problem, people shout out the answer along with him.

He was even more proactive than Charles himself.

Besides, a small group of people, seeing that their place in the finals was practically secured, immediately went to inform those who had left disappointed earlier—

Those people thought the final was an internal battle for Kalentia and stormed off in anger.

But now, things are different!

The final is something to look forward to!

Perhaps, it will become a stage for Saki to perform all by herself!

No, it's not just a possibility, it's a certainty!

City of Fire will win this competition!

Saki will protect everything in the City of Fire for them!

……

On the losers' square.

Su Shi stared blankly up at Xia Er, who had been so arrogant and domineering in front of her just moments before, now curled up in a ball in front of Qi Ji.

Looking at Qi Ji's excessively handsome face, Su Shi suddenly couldn't bring herself to dislike him.

This guy...could it be because of me that he...?

Seeing this scene, Su Shi suddenly had the "illusion" that Qi Ji was standing up for her.

However, Su Shi immediately shook his head to clear his mind.

—No, what are you thinking!

This guy's guiding principle has always been "the strong should humiliate the weak!"

Thinking of this, I realized how close I had come to disaster!

She almost lost all sense of morality because of her looks!

She had almost forgotten that when Qi Ji faced her, he had also subjected her to this kind of extreme humiliation!

It made her cry all day...

So, this guy wasn't venting his anger; he was simply enjoying himself!

This person... is really scary...

Brother, how could you become best friends with such a monster!

……

"monster."

The little maid stared at the scene on the arena and murmured in disbelief.

Compared to this guy...

The princess, who is called a "monster," really is just like a little white rabbit!

……

On the stage, Mr. Qi Ji's arithmetic lesson continued.

Xia Er is clearly a child who slipped through the net of nine-year compulsory education.
