Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#524 - Buddha One

With a crisp "clang~" sound.

After storing the little ghost, the knife in his hand naturally became useless, so Liang Yue casually threw it on the ground.

Although this knife once housed a ghost that could devour and utilize soul power, the knife itself is only made of ordinary carbon steel.

At most, it has only been forged a few more times.

Such a thing is really hard to become Liang Yue's collection, to be placed on the display cabinet in the base world.

And after that ghost was subdued by him, the samurai's soul, which was originally drawn by some force and temporarily unable to leave, was now without any obstruction and soon dissipated with the wind.

"…Winner! China's side~ Dao Yi!!!"

As the old man on the podium once again announced the victory in a loud voice, the audience burst into an uproar once again.

In comparison, the competition seats on both sides seemed a little quiet at this time.

At this time, Liang Yue's companions on the Chinese side were a little shocked by the methods Liang Yue had shown before.

This was a hidden weapon, then a spell, then swordsmanship~

Immediately afterward, he also showed the three series of Taoism: thunder, fire, and wind!

It really shouldn't be possible for a young man like Liang Yue, who looks less than twenty years old, to master such a complete set of abilities.

Moreover, every method he showed was quite profound!

Most importantly, he can use them appropriately when fighting the enemy, thereby directly causing a sure-kill effect on the target!

This kind of clean and neat technique, readily available, and a calm attitude without any taboos.

It seems ordinary, without too much flashy operation.

As for Liang Yue's previous performance, everyone can only silently add a note in their hearts with the name of genius.

…

"Huh? Where have you two been? Why are you only coming back now?"

After returning to his seat and simply dealing with a few teammates, when he looked up, Nana and Xiao Zhao, who had been missing since getting off the car and didn't know where they had run off to, actually appeared hand in hand again.

At this time, they each had a delicate red maple branch inserted in their heads.

In their hands, they each held a few bags of melon seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and so on, looking like they had just returned from shopping.

But the problem is, in order to keep it secret and isolate the general public, there are no vendors selling things in this competition area...

"We~ were just over there, and we saw a very cute little girl, so we took some snacks to tease her for a while."

"Yes! Sister Xiao Zhao also said that the little girl is the embodiment of spirituality and wanted to take her as a disciple~"

"Yes, it's a pity~ her parents didn't agree."

"…Stay here honestly, don't run around anymore."

After listening to the two women's echoing words, Liang Yue knew that they were talking nonsense without even thinking, but he was too lazy to care about the little thoughts of the two women in private.

After taking their seats, the two also behaved exceptionally well, even obsequiously.

Pouring tea, making water, peeling melon seeds, and so on were all taken for granted, which made his teammates around him frequently glance sideways...

…

Compared to the harmony and unity on the Chinese side, and the winning streak of three games, the Japanese team on the opposite side seemed much more dull.

The defeat and death of three generals in a row had repeatedly frustrated their originally high-spirited spirit.

Especially the defeat and death of Xiang Yi and Jian Yi, the two powerhouses who were at the forefront of the team, the scene of being cleanly killed that happened before their eyes was really frightening!

Although those who can sit in the competition seats at this time are all top powerhouses from various fields in Japan, and they are also people with excellent minds and strong self-cultivation.

But the increasingly bleak situation is also imperceptibly affecting their mentality.

Therefore, for a while, the people on the Japanese side inevitably began to feel a little confused, although it was not enough to reach the point of self-doubt.

But in their minds, there have inevitably been a few traces of irritability.

It is difficult to maintain the same high fighting spirit, arrogance, and even a calm state of mind as at the beginning of the competition.

In this way, after a long silence, as the official team leader of this team, a middle-aged man in a suit finally took a deep breath and recovered from the previous changes.

Looking around, and then opening his mouth with a bit of determination.

"…Gentlemen! This time, it concerns the face of our Imperial Country! It is an important step for our Great Island Country to stand among all nations! At present, the people of our island country are experiencing pain.

They have gone through all kinds of difficulties, overcome obstacles, and finally made us have today's status! We are the elite powerhouses in various fields of the Imperial Country! Summoned by His Majesty the Emperor himself!

Bearing an unshirkable responsibility! At this moment, we can no longer be decadent! Being timid, hesitating, and looking forward and backward will not only lose our own face.

The entire Imperial Country will lose face because of this! Gentlemen! Be loyal to the Emperor!"

"Hai~!"

…

Soon, the draw for the fourth game began.

The representatives of China and Japan once again walked onto the podium and drew their respective lots under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Then, under the gaze of the people in the arena, and under the close scrutiny of the Japanese representative, the old man with flower hair finally did not call out the name of Dao Yi this time...

"This time, the fourth game of the China-Japan Exchange Conference! The representative of the Chinese side is~ Fo Yi! The representative of the Japanese side is~ Yin Yang Yi!"

After hearing the old man's name, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

The representatives of the Japanese side, along with those contestants under the stage, all breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Finally changed people...

Whether they are willing to admit it or not, Liang Yue has caused great psychological pressure on the Japanese players through three consecutive victories.

Facing such an unfavorable situation, it is definitely unrealistic to say that they don't care at all.

Perhaps in their hearts, there will be various kinds of counterattacks, such as~ it's just like that... If I were on, I would definitely be able to... and so on.

But facing Liang Yue's kind of almost bottomless, unpredictable, and always able to give them a sure-kill invisible power.

Using the convenience of the rules to directly change an opponent is undoubtedly the smartest choice for the Japanese side.

Now, they have finally realized this wish...

The appearance of a new opponent, in turn, made them see the hope of victory~

They need a victory too much!

Perhaps, the previous Dao Yi was just an accident.

Perhaps, that kind of person is even regarded as a heterogenous existence in China, and cannot be treated equally with ordinary aliens.

Perhaps, other than him, other people are not that strong...

With this kind of mentality, the contestants on the Japanese side began to regain their confidence and temporarily put everything before behind them with a cautious mentality.

But immediately afterward, with the emergence of this idea, a sense of humiliation began to occupy their hearts imperceptibly...
