The moment Ichikawa Masayoshi turned into a white light and returned to the log-in space, except for Oda Ai, who was still squatting in the corner and drawing circles, the members of Sengoku, including Ichikawa Masayoshi himself, were all in a state of confusion.
They were silent for about ten seconds in this strange atmosphere …
Ten seconds later, Ichikawa Masayoshi seemed to suddenly understand something, and his expression changed abruptly. His face was pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat again.
Seeing this, Sasaki Akira, who had also just recovered, asked, "I say … what's the situation? How did you die? "
"I …" Ichikawa Masayoshi's voice trembled, "I launched the Killing Intent Seal Scroll …"
"What?" Takeda Tomoichi almost jumped up when he heard those words. "You actually used your secret weapon?"
"Wait, wait …" Sasaki waved his hand, motioning Takeda not to rush. "Ichikawa …" He then looked at Ichikawa Masayoshi again and said with a dignified expression, "I completely understand the reason why you used the scroll. To be honest … this item is indeed a good thing to use on Teacher Katsune, but the problem is …" he said, glancing at the battlefield again, "Why did you use the scroll … and why did you still die in the end?"
"Huh …" Ichikawa Masayoshi took a deep breath, as if to suppress the fear in his heart, but his voice was still trembling. "The principle of the scroll … Don't you all know?"
As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the members of Sengoku changed.
They naturally read the item description of the secret weapon, and they also saw the scene on the battlefield just now. Teacher Katsune just walked to Ichikawa Masayoshi at a strolling speed, raised his hand, and threw a seemingly ordinary straight punch. As a result, the moment Ichikawa Masayoshi was hit by the punch, a purple-black energy suddenly appeared and swallowed it completely.
"In other words …" Sasaki Akira thought for a few seconds and said, "When his fist was about to hit you, you launched the Killing Intent Seal Scroll, but … the released 'killing intent' swallowed you instead?"
"Ah … Yes." Ichikawa Masayoshi responded weakly.
"How is this possible?" Uesugi Hito questioned. "Could it be that the killing intent and aura that Teacher Chi released when he attacked you were not as strong as that of a passive person like you?"
"Hmm … It does not make sense …" Akira Sasaki murmured thoughtfully. "Even if Sensei Kun somehow knew Imagawa's intention in advance and knew the effect of the scroll, if he wanted to use the scroll to kill Imagawa, he would have to do something like 'almost completely abandon the murderous intent during the attack and hold back his breath' …" Sasaki shook his head. "It's impossible … Anyway, I can't do it."
Hearing that, Zhixin added, "I can do that if I purposely hold back my killing intent … but in a battle of life and death, walking so close to the enemy and lowering my aura to a level lower than my opponent's … that's like sticking my hand into a blender that's connected to a power source … no matter how much I force myself, my battle instinct won't allow my body to do that."
"Could it be …" At that moment, the honest Uesugi Hito said something dangerous. "Is it because Sensei Kun's fighting ability is so low that his killing intent and aura when he attacked were not as strong as Imagawa, who was preparing to counterattack with items?"
After he said that, silence fell again.
"Pfft …" Several seconds later, Takeda Tomo was the first to laugh out loud. "In-chan, have you lost your mind from all that sword practice? The kind of person you're talking about has to have a hidden score of less than fifty points, right? Of all the participants in S3, I don't think you can find someone like that, okay? "
"Yes, we're talking about a monster at the same level as Phantom Dawn," Zhixin added. "The speculation of 'low fighting ability' is a bit too far-fetched."
"Hmm … You have a point." Uesugi Hito nodded. Even though she was a serious person, she was easily convinced.
"Then …" At that moment, Yi Dacheng, who had been watching silently from the side, suddenly cut in. "There is only one possibility …" He paused and turned to Imagawa Masayoshi. "I don't mean to offend you, senior, but … based on Imagawa Mori's expression, he should have known the truth already."
"Ah …" Imagawa Masayoshi's face was ashen, and he said in a low voice, "Actually, it's very simple …" He lifted his head to look at his teammates and asked a question that did not require an answer. "When you step on an ant, will there be a 'murderous intent'?"
As soon as he said this, everyone came to a realization.
But following that was an indescribable fear.
"Similarly …" Imagawa Masayoshi turned to Zhixin. "When you step on an ant, there won't be a feeling similar to 'reaching your hand into a blender', right?"
This question … also did not require an answer.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Imagawa Masayoshi continued. "That's how it is …
"No matter how you think about it … 'knowing the special effect of our secret weapon in advance, guessing that the item is on me, and knowing my intention of using it' … This kind of harsh assumption is not very realistic.
"Even though I don't want to admit it, there is no doubt that the opponent did not know anything about the [Murderous Fluctuation Sealing Scroll] and attacked me without any murderous intent."
"Wait a minute, what about the 'presence'?" Zhixin followed his teammate's train of thought and asked, "Since he did not guard against the scroll's power, then at least in terms of presence, he should be stronger than you."
"It's' exhaustion. '" At this moment, Oda Ai, who was squatting at the corner of the room, suddenly spoke up. Although she did not turn her head around, and her voice sounded dejected, she still answered her teammate's question. "Well … Actually, it's not accurate to say that it's' draining '. It's just a technique that works in a similar way to' draining ', but at a much higher level. I can only understand the gist of it … But I can't perform it as casually as Sensei Chi."
"Then …" Zhixin asked, "What kind of technique is it?"
Oda Ai paused for two seconds and said, "Let's put it this way … You can imagine that in a battle, except for the brief moment when the attack and the opponent have direct contact, the rest of the time, the consumption of Ki is reduced to a level close to zero."
"Wh … What?" Even Zhixin, who had always been calm, showed a rare look of astonishment. "That kind of thing … even in theory …"
"That man … is different." Before she could finish her sentence, Imagawa Masayoshi interrupted her with the tone of an experienced person. "His strength … seems to have reached another dimension. That transcendent strength … can no longer be measured by moves or equipment. Applying common sense and theory to him … is meaningless."
His words seemed to have put the lid on the coffin of this discussion, and no one said anything more about this failure.
At this moment, the score was two to zero, and the huge deterrence and frustration brought by Sensei Chi had caused the momentum of Sensei to drop to the freezing point.
However, the "Champion Battle" … was about to begin.
…
[The match will begin in 30 seconds.]
The break time passed in the blink of an eye. With the system voice, the two players from Sensei Chi and Trash Alliance who participated in the "Champion Battle" were sent to the battlefield together.
The lineup of this battle was not surprising. It was within the expectations of the two teams.
On the side of Sensei Chi, Uesugi Hito was sent out.
Just like in S2, Uesugi Hito wore a blue armor and a white shirt. Her long black hair hung down to her waist, looking valiant and heroic. The weapon she used was still the legendary fire attribute long Tachi, [Kuroki no Tachi]. It was very recognizable.
On the side of Trash Alliance, Seven Kills was sent out.
Everyone should be familiar with this fighting maniac. This time, because he was going to represent Trash Alliance, he changed out of his [Blade] uniform and changed it into a new style. He wore a thick black bodysuit that covered his entire body from neck to toe.
Although this [Fang Battle Uniform] was only a "fashion", its high price meant that it provided a significant bonus effect. Especially for close-range fighters, this set of clothing was extremely practical.
The surface of the battle uniform was as solid and shiny as armor, but at the same time, it could tightly fit the curves of the player's body. After it covered the player's head, hands, and feet, not only could it reduce the consumption of heat, but it could also physically prevent a lot of "throwing skills" from grabbing.
It could be said that in terms of performance, this set of clothes was at least equivalent to an Excellent equipment. If there was a flaw, it would be the fact that this set of clothes, which was meant for "Arena Combat", did not come with shoes. This was not a big deal, as Seven Kills could just wear his own shoes.
Of course, in the eyes of the players, as a fashion set, the biggest flaw of the [Fang Battle Uniform] was that it was … ugly.
This set of clothing was roughly equivalent to a "thicker version of a black diving suit with muscle contours." If it was worn by someone who was not strong and muscular, it would look particularly wretched.
Fortunately, Seven Kills met the above requirements, and he did not care about his image. If there was a need, he did not mind wearing a classic wrestling uniform.
[Five … Four … Three …]
Soon, the last five seconds of the countdown sounded, and the fierce battle was about to start.
The two players who came to participate in the "Battle of the Champions" were the "direct" type of players. Neither of them planned to beat around the bush. They only wanted to fight head-on.
Therefore, in the thirty seconds of preparation time, both of them stood in their original positions and waited eagerly for the barrier to disappear.
From the previous records, it was hard to tell who was stronger between the two of them.
Overall, this should be the most "normal" battle between the two teams so far.
