In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the day of the King of Fighters Tournament finally arrived.
The rules of this tournament were basically the same as last year's. First, a preliminary round would be held in each country to select several teams that could participate in the semi-finals. Then, lots would be drawn and the venue would be chosen for the semi-finals. In the end, the two winning teams would return to Japan and compete in the finals in the Yoto Stadium.
There was nothing much to say about the preliminary round. It was just a competition between the supporting teams and the supporting teams. Therefore, it was no surprise that all the supporting teams won the championship of their respective countries and were officially qualified to enter the semi-finals.
However, at this time, two unique people attracted the attention of the audience. They were Iori Yagami, who had a special invitation letter from the organizer and was going to compete alone. The other was Shingo Yagami, who got an invitation letter from an unknown place. He didn't team up with other teammates and fought to the end, but surprisingly, he won the championship. He claimed to be Kyo Kusanagi's disciple, Shingo Yagami.
In addition, there was another team that took the original position of Team Hungry Wolves and qualified for the semi-finals.
"I didn't expect the three of them to appear in advance," Sei Itō chuckled as he saw the appearance of the three members of that team through the TV broadcast.
"Do you know them?" Iris asked curiously.
"Yes, I met them once," Sei Itō answered casually.
It turned out that the three of them were none other than the team that was supposed to appear in 1998, but whose invitation letter was snatched away by Sei Itō in 1995. They were the American sports team!
Then, the two stopped talking. They continued to watch the drawing of lots on the TV.
"Let's welcome the representative of Japan to the stage," the host announced on the TV.
Then, the scene changed. The camera aimed at the position of the Japanese team. Then, Hanimaru, who was dressed like a cowherd, walked out of the team arrogantly and stepped onto the stage with the camera following him. He waved his arms at the audience in a showy manner.
Needless to say, the shouts of a group of brainless fans faintly came from the TV.
"Please draw your lot," the host reminded.
Hanimaru walked to the lot box and casually took out a ball from the box.
"Number five," the host announced at the right time.
At the same time, a beautifully dressed woman walked to a small whiteboard prepared in advance and wrote the name of the Japanese team below the corresponding black line with a black signal pen.
"Let's welcome the representative of the Brazilian mercenary team to the stage." The host announced again.
Hearing the announcement, Clark raised his hand to adjust his head and walked out of the group …
Just like that, under the host's call, all ten teams, including Shingo Yabuki's solo team, drew lots for the competition.
Their order was: No.1 – Superpower Team. No. 2 — the Brazilian mercenary team. Number three — the Avengers. Number 4 – Hell Band. No. 5 — Japan's representative team. Number 6 — Korea. No. 7 — Dragon Tiger Fist Team. Number 8 – American Sports Team. Number 9 – Rookie Girl Character Fighting Team. Number 10 – Team Shingo Yabuki.
Among them, the Avengers team was made up of Billy Kane, Mary, and Yamazaki Ryu. As for the name of the team, it was because the team leader was Billy, and his goal was to kill Mai Shiranui in the competition. That was why the team was given this unlovable name.
As for Iori Yagami, who was also in the solo competition, Chizuru Kagura used her connections to send him directly to the semifinals. After all, if she wanted to complete the seal on the Orochi Clan, Iori Yagami, who was also the inheritor of the artifact, was indispensable.
Then, the teams drew lots again. They chose the national venue for the competition.
There was nothing else to say.
Therefore, three days later, in the morning, the Superpower Team and the Brazilian mercenary team officially began their battle on Mount Lu in China.
The process was simple. Although the training time was short, and the training process was always interrupted. Until now, Athena still hadn't been able to make her spirit power evolve into psychokinesis, but in terms of the comprehension of absolute power, she didn't stop improving. Until the day before the competition began, her comprehension of absolute power stopped at 99%. She was only a little bit away from reaching the perfect state and attacking the ultimate power.
Therefore, when she faced Clark and Ralph, whose comprehension of absolute power was only around 70% or 80%, she almost crushed them. In addition, she was getting more and more familiar with the usage of her spirit power. After paying a certain price, she eliminated the two of them.
However, Athena had basically completed the test of her cultivation results. When she faced Loana, she surrendered and replaced her with Shiekuni Takeshi.
Unfortunately, Chi Quan Chong, who used to be a righteous comrade, had made too little progress. Although he wasn't out of the mainstream yet, the gap between him and Loana, who had the blood of madness in her body and had comprehended more than 90% of her power, was too big. Therefore, after a few moves, Chi Quan Chong was stabbed in the back by the experienced Loana and lost the match.
Then, Zhen Yuan Zhai, who said he would retire every year but still came to participate in the competition every year, and lived so long that people thought he was already in his coffin, stepped onto the field. He fought Loana, whose aura was a little unstable because of the blood she had seen, and it felt like she could erupt with ultimate power or dark power at any time.
The result was needless to say. He was beaten out of the field by the half-crazy Loana and lost the competition. If he didn't use his rich experience to dodge the knife at the last moment, he might have ended up like Shiekuni Takeshi and seen blood today.
At this point, the Superpower Team, who clearly had the strength to advance further, lost the competition because of Shiekuni Takeshi's actions.
But then again, if Zhen Yuan Zhai had properly arranged the order of appearance, this result wouldn't have happened. Perhaps Athena would have directly defeated all three of them and advanced to the next round.
After the competition ended, the two teams returned to their respective hotels to rest. Then, in the afternoon, the battle between the Avengers and the Inferno Band officially began in a certain Haibin city in Mexico.
It was worth mentioning that Sharmie, Seven Cap Society, and Chris were all acting normal. They didn't have the dark aura of three of the Four Heavenly Kings of the serpent clan. It was as if they hadn't awakened yet.
But Sei Itō, as Sharmie's man, knew that this was all just an illusion, because their real bodies were using the Separation Technique to collect the spiritual power needed for the resurrection of Orochi!
"Are you all ready?" The staff sent by the organizer of the King of Fighters Tournament asked the two teams.
On the Avengers' side, Billy was silent and looked at the three members of the Inferno Band with a cold face.
Mary stretched her arms high and stretched her body.
Yamazaki Ryuji smiled crazily and stared at Sharmie with an evil look in his eyes.
In short, no one paid any attention to the staff. On the Inferno Band's side, Nanaka Society nodded politely at the staff.
At this moment, the staff member's impression of the Inferno Band multiplied. Unfortunately, this wasn't a competition like football or basketball, but a fighting convention with death permits. He couldn't take advantage of these favorable impressions to favor one side over the other.
"Then, the competition officially begins. Both sides, please send out your first contestants," the staff, who had officially become the referee and host, said loudly.
"Let me say this." Although Sharmie had returned to her normal appearance because of the Separation Technique, awakening was awakening, and the change in her personality couldn't be changed back. So, Sharmie, who was filled with violent emotions, took the initiative to ask.
"Okay, be careful," Nanaka Society nodded in agreement.
"Sharmie, be careful," Chris said.
Sharmie nodded slightly and walked to the center of the field, swaying her waist.
Seeing Sharmie's appearance, Yamazaki Ryuji, who had unconsciously licked his lips, said, "I want this woman." Then, without waiting for Mary and Billy to say anything, he walked out of the team and entered the field.
"Since it's our first meeting, I'll be gentle." Sharmie's eyes, which were covered by her bangs, narrowed slightly and said softly with a gentle smile on her face.
Yamazaki Ryuji, who had his left hand in his pocket, laughed evilly and said, "That's great. My dick is thirsty. Why don't we just stop fighting and find a place to have some fun?"
Nanaka Society's eyes flashed with a fierce light when they heard Yamazaki Ryuji's words.
"Competition, begin!" At this moment, the referee announced loudly.
"Come on, woman." Yamazaki Ryuji took out his left hand and raised it to rub his right shoulder. Then, he shook his neck and said with a scornful expression.
"Then I won't hold back," Sharmie said with a light smile.
After saying that, she pressed her body and rushed to Yamazaki Ryuji's front as if there was an invisible propeller behind her. She reached out and hooked his neck. Then, she turned her body upside down and pressed down on Yamazaki Ryuji's body with all her strength.
Sharmie's Heavy Cannon!
"Bang!"
As expected, Yamazaki Ryuji, who couldn't defend himself in time, fell heavily to the ground.
Sharmie jumped up and jumped away from Yamazaki Ryuji's body.
"Damn it." Yamazaki Ryuji quickly got up from the ground, shook his head, and cursed with hatred. Then, a fierce light flashed in his eyes and he quickly rushed toward Sharmie.
When Yamazaki Ryuji rushed in front of her, Sharmie immediately took a step forward to meet him. Then, she turned around and circled behind Yamazaki Ryuji. She wrapped her arms around his thick waist and used the Arch Throw to smash Yamazaki Ryuji's head to the ground.
Yamazaki Ryuji quickly covered his ears with his hands to prevent his head from touching the ground.
Sharmie let go of her hands and turned around. She reached out and grabbed Yamazaki Ryuji's collar. Then, she flipped him upside down and threw him to the ground again.
"Bang!"
