In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Sitting on Xia Yan's left, Zouruyuan Zhumei, who had been holding her cheeks with both hands and watching him eat with great interest, couldn't help but shyly and nervously shook her hands repeatedly when she heard this, "No, no, senior, I can't agree to this kind of thing - you should go find classmate Garuda!"

"...Are you looking for trouble?"

Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel a little stomachache. He still didn't understand what Garuda's criteria for choosing a mate were.

How did he become a target?

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I am not happy to be liked and courted by such a lovely girl.

If it were in a pure Kengan worldview, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for even a second and would have fast-forwarded directly to "The Legend of the Wu Family's Son-in-law, a Grand Serial."

But right now, Xia Yan's energy is mainly focused on improving his own strength. He still has too many things to do, including emotional matters...

Xia Yan shook his head and said, let’s talk about it later.

But after two seconds of pause, he finally realized why these two people had such a reaction.

Although the hotel room on Yuanliu Island is indeed extremely luxurious, this room alone is probably equivalent to the area of ​​the three-bedroom, one-living room apartment in Xia Yan's home.

In addition to the dining table they were currently sitting at, the room was also filled with exaggerated Ukiyo-e wall paintings, luxurious decorative statues and screens everywhere, and even a viewing platform of a flowing water running through the room.

The only problem now is that there is only one bed placed spaciously in the center of the room.

"So where are you going?"

Xia Yan picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth. He also gave a skillful knife-handed knock to Zouriuyuan Zhumei on the head. Then he looked at her sister across from him and reminded her seriously: "Actually, it's okay for me to live in the side room here, but you'd better pay attention to that..."

"I think his name is Hayami Katsumasa? Anyway, he's the one who's in charge of Toyo Electric Power. Sister Ziyin, you should understand what I mean, right?"

As far as he knew, the real prototype of Hayami Katsumasa and the "TEPCO" company mentioned by Xia Yan was the company responsible for discharging nuclear waste water.

So you should understand what this guy is made of, right?

In order to become the president of Kengankai, Katsumasa Hayami is truly unscrupulous.

From commercial blockades to force other companies to side with him, to threatening the relatives and friends of fighters in their hometowns to force them to admit defeat through fake matches, and even directly kidnapping company presidents to force them to surrender, these are all things this guy can do.

In the end, after all the fighters from his companies were defeated, he even launched an armed rebellion during the Kengan Fatal Tournament.

So Xia Yan made this suggestion only for the safety of the two sisters from Zouliuyuan.

After all, he was able to complete the purpose of his trip so smoothly by riding on the coattails of the two sisters. It was only right for him to ensure their safe return.

And Zou Ryuin Shion obviously understood Xia Yan's subtext. After taking a breath, she hardly objected to the proposal of this man who, in her eyes, had deceived her own sister.

Instead, he nodded in agreement.

Chapter 148 [Mysterious Bear Mask] Mr. Hikigaya Hachiman makes a grand appearance!

The next day.

At this time, tens of thousands of wealthy and noble officials, their female companions and entourage, and even some politicians from various countries had gathered on Yuanliu Island.

Brutal, bloody fights of life and death, gambling, games to determine who holds power, exchanges and transactions with other people of the same class—all these factors attracted them like opium.

At this moment, they formed a stream of people, gradually converging into a luxurious arena that was like a giant dome and could accommodate everyone here.

The Souryuin sisters, Garuda, Yamashita Oo, and Jukiji and Kiryu Setsuna who consciously sat on the left and right sides of their seats.

Xia Yan glanced around and saw that this was the composition of the people sitting in the audience seats of the arena. However, he was surrounded on both sides by Zouyuan Zhumei and Garuda.

Oh, yes, there is one more person...

"Ziyin, I never thought that after our unforgettable separation, our reunion after more than ten years would be in this form. Fate really is a joke..."

I saw a mature man with a messy beard, a ponytail, and a rather nonchalant look. Amid the noise of the crowd around him, he was saying sweet words with a deep look on his face.

He was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Zou Ryuin Shion, who was standing beside him with her beautiful eyes closed and her brow furrowed, looking completely fed up. "Quan, when you said 'unforgettable separation', are you referring to the time when you were flirting with women and cheating on them, and I couldn't stand it anymore and completely severed ties with you?"

"So Zhu Mei, you saw it too. This is what happens when you're tricked by some lousy guy who only has pecs. You should take your sister as a warning!"

As she spoke, Zou Ryuin Shion seemed to have finally caught her chance. She turned her head to look at her silly sister and said, secretly targeting someone, "Be especially careful of those men who know martial arts, have fought in boxing matches, and try to use sweet words to get you on board, and those kind of stinky men who are surrounded by countless women!"

This can no longer be said to be an explicit statement, it can only be said to be a complete map cannon.

Xia Yan glanced at her speechlessly, and the Miss Zouluyuan who was reminded was also very obedient... She leaned close to the "stinky man's" ear and asked curiously in a low voice: "I didn't expect that my sister actually had such a past. Senior, it seems that person is also participating in this competition like you. Do you know who he is?"

"Oh? You didn't know about this originally, but that's true. After all, it's your sister's dark history, so I naturally couldn't tell you, her younger sister."

Hearing this, Xia Yan shrugged and directly revealed the spoiler, "From what I know, your sister and this contestant, Chu Jianquan, started dating in high school. During that time, your sister couldn't stand Chu Jian's playboy personality and broke up with him. After that, they broke up and got back together several times."

"Oh, by the way, your sister seems to have kept a photo of her and Mr. Chu Jian when they were young, which she tore off and glued back together again. She probably couldn't bear to throw it away."

"Ka! Why the hell do you even know something like this?!"

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, Zouriuyuan Ziyin roared without restraint. At the same time, Chu Jianquan, who was beside her, also spoke with deep affection, "Ziyin, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still have me in your heart. Why don't we get back together..."

"roll!"

Regardless of the poor cigarette that was broken again and the plot that seemed to be developing into a romance drama, Xia Yan took out his mobile phone and looked through the battle schedule of the players in the death match.

He was somewhat aware of the impact he had on this Kengan Fatal Match.

The strength of several fighters has increased significantly. Due to the mission, the targets of their challenges have also shifted. And most importantly, in order to choose the opponents they want, the Ten Demon Snakes disrupted the rule of drawing lots to determine the opponents.

These butterfly effects directly caused the battle schedule of Kengan's Fatal Tournament to change significantly compared to the original work, and it can even be said that it was completely modified beyond recognition.

Only a few matches remain before the official competition begins, and the players who want to compete have clear goals.

For example, before they had this leisurely chat, the first match they had just watched was Guan Linchun vs. Guiwang Shanzun, a wrestling and sumo showdown that was almost destined to happen.

Knowing the final result, the process of the battle and the tactics of both sides, Xia Yan originally thought that watching this game would be boring, but he didn't expect that compared to watching it on the screen, watching the real-life duel was even more interesting than he had imagined.

This was the case even for the match he had already "watched", not to mention the second boxing match that was about to begin and which Xia Yan had been very interested in.

"The second match everyone is looking forward to is about to begin!"

Below the audience seats, there was a thick wall surrounding the empty arena.

There was a woman wearing a crimson slit-shoulder evening gown, with long silver hair and red eyes, a feature that matched the characteristics of a Chinese special attack team. Her wheat-colored skin made her look particularly sexy and alluring. She was wearing a microphone and was hosting the commentary of the Kengan Fatal Tournament.

This host is the daughter of Katara Metō, Katara Metō Katahara Shoka. By the way, Katara Metō is currently 96 years old, and Katara Metō Katahara is currently 22 years old...

Well, I can only say that he is getting stronger as he gets older.

"He, with his unknown identity, unknown true form, and unknown origin, hides his face. What is his purpose? Will he become another legendary fighter wearing a mask?"

The lights in the arena suddenly dimmed, and as Katahara Aika's voice gradually changed from low to passionate and enthusiastic like a girl, colorful special effects appeared in the arena again, and with the gradually resounding BMG, the atmosphere in the whole venue became heated up.

Then, Katahara Meoka raised her hand proudly and officially introduced the contestant's information. "He's 175cm tall and weighs 71kg. He has a record of four wins and no losses in Kengan tournaments. He represents Murder Music."

As her passionate voice and right hand led to the competition channel, out walked the "Dark Bird" Sawada Keizaburo (×)

"Competing under the alias of [Mysterious Bear Mask]..."

Mr. Hikigaya makes a grand appearance!

"Pfft hahaha!"

Looking at the arena below and seeing Hikigaya Hachiman appearing in a cute brown bear mask, Xia Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chapter 149: Second Match: Hikigaya vs. Roaring Fighting Spirit

It is different from the main stadium where thousands of people cheer and background music plays, which is extremely lively and noisy.

Inside the medical room attached to the boxing tournament, there was a complete contrast of silence. Only a wall-mounted TV in front of the bed was broadcasting the progress of the main arena match.

Keisaburo Sawada, the "Dark Bird" who was a contestant in the Kengan tournament before, was leaning on the hospital bed here, looking at the familiar bear face mask that appeared on the live TV.

Keizaburo Sawada is a man with mushroom-like hair. He has two strands of golden hair hanging down beside his ears. He wears purple eyeshadow and lipstick, and even has lace on the corners of his clothes. In short... he is quite feminine.

He was also the Kengan tournament player who was forcibly eliminated and replaced by Hikigaya on the cruise ship.

So now he can be said to be watching the game of his "arch-rival".

"Sawada, I never thought you would be ambushed by an assassin on the cruise ship and disqualified from the competition. I'm sure you feel incredibly resentful, so..."

At his bedside, fellow contestant Nakata Ichiro (Rito), who had come to visit him as a friend, had a heavy expression on his face... He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You're really lame, hahahaha~"

Well, this guy seems to be a bad friend.

"Shut up you bastard!"

Keisaburo Sawada rolled his eyes at Rito, and then his mind unconsciously recalled the scenes of his fight with Bear Mask in the spacious aisle of the cruise ship.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally said with a look of regret and relief, "Losing is losing, there's nothing to say."

Keizaburo Sawada is a fighter who switched from ballet to fighting. He once practiced ballet to perfection, and even after switching to fighting, it still brought him great help.

His fighting style is mainly to support himself on one leg, and then rely on the amazing body balance he gained from ballet, through extremely stable and rapid body rotation, he gathers the centrifugal force of the rotation into the sharp kicks from his legs and feet, with both power and attack speed being quite good.

The hit rate of his kicking skills has reached an extremely precise level. Basically, he can kick wherever he wants to attack, and the deviation will never exceed 1cm.

However, even this precise and fierce kicking skill was completely blocked by the bear-masked man with his pair of iron arms.

Then Hikigaya relied on his defensive vertical palm magic spear stabs and occasional counterattacks, leaving bleeding wounds on Sawada Keisaburo's legs and body, and gradually defeated him.

Because of this, although Sawada Keizaburou felt a little regretful about his defeat, Hikigaya's fair challenge and victory over him made him accept his defeat with conviction. He should ask for that little bear's contact information when he gets a chance.

"That little cutie might be younger than I thought, and I could intuitively sense that when I fought him, but..."

Sawada Keisaburo regained consciousness and immediately turned his head to look at his friend beside him with a mocking look, "He's very strong, Rito. You'd better pray that you don't run into him."

"What did you say?!"

Boxing is the main arena.

If Hikigaya knew that this was what Keizaburo Sawada thought of him, he would probably feel a little ashamed.

I have to say that as the organizer, Katara Metsudo's decision to determine the number of places in the Kengan official tournament based on the size and power of the company actually makes some sense.

The greater the power, the wider the company's network of contacts will be, the more chips it can offer, and naturally it will be easier to find stronger fighters to represent the company in the competition.

And the facts have proved this point. In the preliminary round on the cargo ship of Death, the representative fighters from the four companies that competed from 123 companies, except for the Ten Demon Snake King who was frying fish in it, all the others were only at the bottom level of the top 4 fighters.

Keisaburo Sawada is one of them.

Hikigaya's goals and plans have always been clear. He wants to first obtain his place in the official competition through Sawada and establish his ranking in the top 32. Then, in the official competition, he will start to challenge the fighters in the top 16.

He also thought carefully about what type of fighter would be best for him to deal with without exposing the parasitic beasts on his arms.

In the end, he came to two conclusions: he was suitable for dealing with fighters with speed and durability!

The former is because the parasitic beasts in Hikigaya's arms have self-awareness, and their reaction speed and the attack and defense speed of the arms under their control are far beyond that of their master.

Therefore, when Hikigaya faces a speed-type fighter, it is equivalent to installing an auxiliary automatic attack and defense system, which allows him to better protect himself and hit speed-type enemies.

In fact, when Hikigaya faced the fierce kicking skills of Keisaburo Sawada, the ballet warrior, he was able to block a small half of the attacks with the help of "little left and little right".

The same principle actually applies when facing a fighter who is durable.

Although in a competition watched by tens of thousands of eyes, Hikigaya's two-armed parasitic beast could not directly transform into blades to attract attention.

But when the attack hit, he secretly hardened the metal of his fingertips, greatly increasing the power of the magic spear's stabbing, and he was still able to do it.

With the ability to increase his attack power, Hikigaya naturally has an advantage against fighters who are more resilient. Therefore...

You're just a useless piece of shit, a parasitic beast.jpg

Finally, between these two enemies who were extremely compatible with him, Hikigaya hesitated for a moment and chose the latter, which is:

"Death Knockout Tournament, here I come!!"

A fighter with sturdy, wheat-colored muscles and armbands tied with ropes roared loudly, rushing out of the competition tunnel with infinite passion and enthusiasm. After stopping, he pointed at Hikigaya in front of him and shouted enthusiastically:

"Mysterious Bear Warrior, I've heard of your rules. Now I'll defeat you, then personally remove your mask, revealing your true identity, and complete this perfect warrior ritual!"

"No, did you misunderstand something?!"

Hikigaya was a little stunned when he heard that. "I'm not trying to create a bear warrior persona that never takes off his mask. I just don't want to show my face!"

Unfortunately, the opponent he personally selected was just as its name suggests, "The Roaring Fighting Spirit" Kaizuka Sappain, and he didn't hear the words that Hikigaya muttered at a normal volume, but started shouting passionately on his own.

Well, although this opponent was, in a sense, the kind of social bull that Hikigaya was least adept at dealing with, there was nothing wrong with the target he chose.

The referee arrived and announced the start of the game.
