Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

She looked directly at Saki, her voice carrying a long-suppressed sense of pleasure finally being released:

"Now--

Answer me, you bastard!!!

You still think I...

"Is it pitiful?"

Why make me repeat myself when the answer is already given?

Qi Ji could tell that Su Shi, clad in armor, was brimming with confidence and was somewhat unable to distinguish between the king and queen.

But it's okay, he'll help Su Shi distinguish between them.

Before officially taking action, Su Shi seemed to remember something, and suddenly tilted his head and asked:

"By the way, how much time is left until your so-called 9 minutes and 10 seconds...?"

Saki glanced down at his watch: "There's about a minute and a half left."

"Very good." Su Shi chuckled lightly, with a confident and composed air of being in complete control.

"Then I'll be here at the 1 minute and 30 seconds—"

I'll kill you!

Strong strength brings strong confidence.

Su Shi felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

You little brat!

Isn't he quite good at putting on airs?

Then I'll be even more pretentious than you!

You...

My brother's terrible imitator!!!

In my brother's imitation contest, only I deserve to be number one!!!

At this moment, there is no doubt that there are two show-offs on the field at the same time.

Qi Ji pretends to be cool because he wants to play the role of "a thousand faces" and maintain his persona.

As for Su Shi's pretentious behavior, it was initially just a simple imitation of his brother.

Imitating the tone of voice of the older brother.

Imitating his brother's composure in the face of the enemy.

Imitating his brother's self-assured and powerful demeanor.

only……

As she pretended, she sometimes found herself enjoying it without even realizing it.

Enjoy the power of crushing your opponents!

“That is interesting.” Qi Ji smiled after hearing Su Shi’s words.

The laughter was soft, yet it came through the mask clearly:

"I hope you can maintain this spirit in a minute and a half."

Please, please don't cry.

“Crying? How arrogant!” Su Shi retorted immediately upon hearing this.

"Then let me beat you until you cry uncontrollably right now!!!"

Qi Ji looked at the other person and gave a final reply:

"Then, so will I."

The moment the words fell—

In the audience, the student who was so engrossed in the commentary also stood up excitedly and began to speak with great emotion:

"At this moment! The genius of the elite class has completed his armor!"

The ruthless fox of the Thousand Faces Clan has made a powerful comeback!

His opponent is a rising powerhouse from among the common people, the legendary number one genius of the City of Fire!

A devastatingly powerful dragon of destruction!!!

A speed that can deceive the eye with just walking! A force that can split a boulder in two with a mere wave of the hand!

Can Su Shi, who has fought his way back from hell, do it?!

The one who wins this battle will undoubtedly become the pinnacle of all first-year students!

At this moment, the two on the ring simultaneously issued their declarations—

We will win in one and a half minutes!

Will we win?!

Nowadays!

It will also prove to everyone that it is the strongest.

Was it him, or him?!

As the commentator's final, desperate roar echoed, Su Shi and Qi Ji moved simultaneously on the arena!

"Whoosh-!"

Saki's speed is still faster than the naked eye can see!

But this time, with the person in the mirror revealing their story, it is through "seeing"!

Through the mirror fragments and mental energy scattered all over her body, she captured the trajectory of Qi Ji's actions!

Just like raindrops falling into a calm lake, even if you can't see each drop clearly, you can still clearly perceive the trajectory and landing point of the "rain" through the countless ripples that spread across the lake!

"I see……

So you were here.

By the way, are you always this slow?

Su Shi spoke calmly, without even turning around.

As Qi Ji's figure appeared like a ghost to her left rear, Su Shi suddenly turned backward and delivered a fierce side kick!

The shards of the mirror, accompanied by a swirling gust of wind, swept behind them, carrying a terrifying echo amplified by the protective aura!

"boom!!"

Qi Ji's figure appeared in response.

At the critical moment, his fist changed into a palm strike, gently patting the side of Su Shi's shin, which was covered by glasses, as he kicked at him.

However, with just this light touch, Saki clearly felt the terrifying echoing power contained within it!

The force was violent, sharp, and aggressive, as if it wanted to tear his palm apart at the point of contact!

Thus, Qi Ji made a brief touch and then separated. Using the reaction force of that touch, his figure, like a willow leaf blown by the wind, instantly drifted back several meters and landed lightly.

This was the first time that Su Shi had gained the upper hand in an open battle since he faced off against Qi Ji!

This feeling...

So cool.

That felt so good!!!

She turned around and looked at Qi Ji, who was retreating in a "disgraceful" manner. A smug smile appeared on her small face under the mask.

"When all your actions are laid bare in my mirror, the outcome is already decided."

So, you're not as strong as I thought.

I'm really disappointed.

I finally got to wear it, but I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest.

If this is all the strength you have, then I don't even need to use my [True Name] disguise.

How boring.

After listening to Su Shi's long, pretentious speech, Qi Ji was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, the expression beneath his mask became somewhat strange.

He suddenly understood how others felt when he tried to show off.

Without a doubt, it's a very unpleasant feeling!

No wonder that day, Shinjiro Seigen was so desperate to kill him.

However, although both Saki and Seigen are "unhappy," their feelings are quite different.

Seigen Kamishiro lacked the strength to do so, so he could only rage in vain.

But Saki is very strong, extremely strong!

This strength is not just reflected in physical power.

Saki's trash talk skills are also top-notch!

That day, Seigen Kamishiro was too tongue-tied, so he couldn't retort and could only break down in anger and embarrassment.

But Saki is different!

He looked at Su Shi and smiled:

"very good.

It wasn't in vain that I waited for you for so long.

That's what makes this match even a little bit interesting.

Next, I will use 30% of my strength.

Go ahead and try to resist me.

As he spoke, Qi Ji slowly raised his left hand.

Spread your five fingers and turn your palm towards the world.

Then, under everyone's gaze—

"Crackling sound—!!!"

"Zzzzzzz—!!!"

Accompanied by a series of deep, dense crackling sounds, like the simultaneous shrill cries of a thousand birds!

A blue-purple bolt of lightning, without warning, struck Saki's raised left hand—

It exploded suddenly!!!

……

……

Chapter Sixty-Nine: My efforts surpass yours!

A massive blue-purple electric light surged from the tip of Yu Qiji's left finger!

Then, like a flood bursting its banks, it instantly swept over my entire body!

Electricity climbed up his shoulders and then flowed over his hair, making his mask appear to light up and then dim.

It seemed as if lightning was contained between its mouth and nose; with just one breath, endless blue-purple electric sparks splashed out from the mask.

It was at this moment that Qi Ji finally began to reveal the strength he had gained through a month of arduous training!

The terrifying power of the thunder could be clearly felt by everyone in the audience, even from a distance across the arena.

An uproar erupted in the audience!
