Cold air filled the air.
The referee had already run off the ring while shivering, not daring to say a word. The others also widened their eyes in surprise as they watched this scene. Although Grizzly consciously controlled the undead aura that erupted from Frostmourne and did not let it spread to the stands, they could still feel the shadow of death. For a moment, they did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
Urakuya and the other three felt it even more deeply.
"Ugh …"
Urakuya gritted his teeth and tried his best to stay awake. He looked to the left and saw that Sang Yuan had already fallen to the ground. She was completely frozen and covered in a layer of frost.
On Urakuya's right, Kuruma also gritted his teeth and used all his strength, but his situation was only slightly better than Sang Yuan's. Whether it was Kuruma who was a demon fox before reincarnation or him who reincarnated as a human, his combat method was to control plants. Frostmourne's power of death naturally restrained all life, and the plants controlled by Kuruma were no exception. It was already impressive that he did not lose consciousness like Sang Yuan and Masaru.
"Ugh … Ugh …"
However, when Urai Yousuke saw Fly Shadow, his expression changed drastically. At this moment, Fly Shadow was glaring fiercely at Mask X with bloodshot eyes. Then, he roared and raised his right hand. Soon, a black dragon condensed from black flames flew into the air again. However, this time, the black dragon didn't attack Mask X like before. Instead, it turned around and rushed towards Fly Shadow, fusing with him.
Then, Wyvern's strength skyrocketed!
"Hah!!!"
Wyvern roared and stood up. Raging flames erupted from his body, and he became one with the flames.
'Oh, someone really broke through on the spot.'
Seeing this, Dusk was taken aback. Of course, she knew the use of Black Dragon Wave. The difference between this move and other moves was that Black Dragon Wave could not only be released to attack others, but it could also be consumed by the caster and become an explosive agent for the caster. To put it bluntly, it was like taking a stimulant on the spot.
Was it against the rules to take a stimulant during a match?
Dusk had never considered this question before.
But it did not matter.
For Dusk, even after taking the Black Dragon Wave, Wyvern's current strength was about the same as Lu Yu and Lu Yu. Therefore, facing Wyvern's explosion, she only glanced at him silently.
"Bang!!!"
In the next moment, Fei Ying was knocked to the ground, and the flames on his body disappeared.
"Flying Shadow …?!"
Urai Yousuke was dumbfounded when he saw that. Of course, he had also sensed the powerful energy that Fei Ying had just unleashed. Urai Yousuke had thought that it would be a great opportunity for him to retaliate, but he did not expect that Fei Ying's energy would vanish in the blink of an eye.
Was there really no other way?
It was about time.
Sensing the despair in Urawa's eyes, Yu nodded in satisfaction. This time, Sang Yuan, Yu, and Fei Ying had received enough lessons. She wasn't worried about Zangma. After all, Zangma was smart enough and should know how to make a choice. If the other three didn't have muscles in their brains, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
But now that he had achieved his goal, it was about time to end it.
Thinking of this, Bi's eyes turned cold, and she snapped her fingers again.
"Pa!"
"Boom —!!!"
In an instant, the cold wind raged, and the howling cold wind directly swept the four people who were already struggling to support themselves out of the ring. The clothes on their bodies were also torn to shreds by the cold wind, revealing their naked bodies — After all, Mask X was a master of stripping. No matter how the battle was fought, it was impossible not to take off his opponent's clothes.
"How disappointing."
After blasting the four of them down with one move, Yu slowly swept her gaze over them and sneered.
"You're only at this level after all. Forget it, I'm not even interested in killing you, so I'll spare your pathetic lives."
Silently mocking them one last time, Yu turned around and left the ring.
And that was the end of the match.
"Alright, I've done what you asked."
Back backstage, Yu immediately went to Mirage Sea.
"Let me make this clear, this was all your request. Don't blame it on me if anything happens."
"Hehehe, don't worry, this old woman isn't that shameless."
Mirage Sea was obviously satisfied with Yu's performance. Yu shrugged.
"Alright, as long as you're satisfied. I also hope that these fellows can pull themselves together …"
Yu was not lying. According to the plot, if she remembered correctly, Yousuke would face two powerful enemies along the way. One was Lu Yugu, and the other was Mystical Water. The latter was much more powerful than the former. Lu Yulu was slapped to death by Denglong, so Pu Fan and the rest would have to face the Celestial Water next. Without the stimulation of the Dark Fighters Tournament and Lu Yulu, challenging the Celestial Water with Pu Fan and the rest's current abilities would be courting death.
And after this stimulation, would they be able to pull themselves together, and how far they could go? To be honest, Yu was looking forward to it. After all, the pressure she gave Lu Yugu was not something Lu Yugu could compare to. If Pu Fan Yousuke could really persevere under this kind of pressure, then how far could he grow?
Could he defeat Mystical Water without using any hacks?
Although the main character was already very good at using hacks.
"Then there's nothing else for me to do. I'm leaving."
Thinking of this, Yu bade farewell to Mirage Sea and turned to leave. To her, this year's KOF journey had come to an end.
This was also the reason why Mary Rose and Sui Naoguo did not participate. Yu had already told them, and Sui Naoguo also had a concrete understanding of her own strength after the previous competition. To her, it was more important to focus on practicing Shifting Stars than participating in the competition. And Mary Rose naturally returned to Helena to report.
Only Wen Yue Yi remained in the office and did not leave immediately.
After this, Yu quickly returned home and announced to her girls that she had withdrawn from the competition.
"Eh? She's withdrawing just like that? That's too boring. Why not play a little longer and bring home the champion? "
"If I participate, there's no suspense to the outcome of the competition. There's no point in winning the championship."
Facing the grumbling Bonfire Misty Branch, Dusk casually mentioned it and returned to his seat behind the desk. Only now did she feel that she was back on the right track in life. Honestly, if not for Mirage Sea's request, she would not have been willing to waste time participating in KOF, let alone wasting time on this. Of course, it felt great, but it had nothing to do with combat. Just thinking about how she relied on the plaza agreement to take over half of Japan's high-tech industry made Yu feel great.
Of course, Yu did not intend to change her appearance to become an entrepreneur in this world. What were professional managers and CEOs used for? Weren't they used to maintain the normal operation of the company? As a shareholder and the mastermind behind the scenes, she only needed to sit back and wait for the money to come in. Everything else was meaningless to Yu.
"Do you have any requests recently?"
Yu retracted her gaze from the TV and looked curiously at Young Crimson. These days, she had been busy with mergers and acquisitions and KOF competition, and it had been a long time since she removed her spirits. Frostmourne was also very unhappy about this. After all, this world was not like other worlds where evil spirits and vengeful spirits were everywhere. Frostmourne also did not need to go on a diet to lose weight. It was too torturous for her to stare at the feast outside all day long without being able to eat.
"I don't have any particularly important requests."
Young Crimson shook her head. The Japanese government treated KOF like the Olympic Games, as if all the monsters in Japan were giving them face and did not cause any trouble.
"Speaking of which, I heard something from my classmates."
At that moment, Bai Ju suddenly spoke up as if she had thought of something.
"There's a rumour about a cursed mobile phone …."
"A cursed mobile phone?"
Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Due to the advertising effect of the KOF competition, the flip phones produced by the company controlled by Yu had unsurprisingly become popular all over Japan. Although it had not reached the point where everyone in the future could own one, at least there were still many people who could afford one.
Bai Ju was currently studying in Nagano's class at Tong Shou Primary School. Yu naturally knew that the children in that class were most interested in all kinds of supernatural events.
Besides, most of the rumors they spread were true.
"Hmm, it was Miki who told me. According to her, someone will receive a call from their mobile phone number, and after answering the call, they will hear a strange noise coming from the phone. The person who receives this kind of death call will die at the same time three days later …."
"There's such a thing?"
Black Mist Branch could not help but perk up when she heard this.
"Why haven't I received a call like this before?"
As a benefit of the firm, Yu naturally gave every girl a mobile phone for easy communication, and Black Mist Branch was no exception.
"How can someone receive a call from their own mobile phone?"
Young Crimson picked up her mobile phone doubtfully, dialed her own number, and put it to her ear.
"… I can't get through?"
"That's right. Logically speaking, you can't get through."
Yu nodded. Whether it was a mobile phone or a phone, when you called yourself from your own phone number, the line would usually be busy. Because of this, it was quite strange to receive a call from one's own phone number.
"Could it be the same as that Sadako from before, an evil spirit attached to the telephone line....?"
Hisashi Shizui muttered to himself. After all, it was rare for Yu to gather them together to watch a video of such an evil spirit.
"But mobile phones are transmitted through radio waves. Hmm …. Could there be evil spirits that do bad things through radio waves?"
For a moment, the girls in the firm began to discuss among themselves. Yu sat in her chair with a frown. If she got the news from somewhere else, she would have treated it as a gossip on the streets like everyone else. But the problem was that the rumor came from Narusuke Sakuno's class, and the one who said it was Miki Hosokawa. But almost everything this gossip king said in "Sensei Inferno" was true.
Thinking of this, Yu made a decision.
"Bai Ju, when you go to school tomorrow, ask Miki about the details of the rumor again. I'm going to investigate this matter."
To make matters worse, this urban legend was connected to the mobile phone she manufactured and sold. Yu did not want her business to be ruined because of some inexplicable evil spirit, did she?
