Counterfeit

During lunch, Xiao He summarized the Superpower of the six Mutant from that morning.

Overall, in the six battles this morning, Asura from Y Country Team was a very strong Mutant, while the others were just supporting characters; the three Mutant from Team Japan were all quite strong, but Soul Blade was the strongest, followed by Ring Hero, and even the weakest, Charge Hero, was not weak either.

Xiao He is quite satisfied with the current schedule. There are indeed some unexpectedly strong opponents like Soul Blade, which makes him look forward to the upcoming matches.

However, he still has three teams to fight today, which means nine Mutant. He just needs to Collection enough intelligence.

While he was eating, Xie Haining and the others watched his match videos to Collection intelligence on the enemy.

"The earlier you go into battle, the worse it gets..." Xie Haining sighed. "Not only your Superpower, but even your combat skills and habits will be observed." He then turned to Xiao He Xie Haining, "Later on, you might be targeted relentlessly."

"Hmm..." Xiao He nodded, but this only made him more excited.

"Don't worry too much, we're here for you, Brother Xiao," Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Oh, so good." Xiao He patted her head.

But at this moment, Ye Wanqing grabbed his arm and said with dissatisfaction, "Alright, finish eating and go back to your room to rest and take a nap."

Xiao He was pulled back to the room by Ye Wanqing, who looked at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Xiao He stared at his adorable girlfriend, momentarily stunned, then realized that Ye Wanqing might also want him to pat her head. So he reached out and patted her head. "My Little Pufferfish is the cutest. Look at your eyes, so big and beautiful..."

"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing smiled with satisfaction, sat down on the edge of the bed, patted her chest, and said, "Come and take a nap?"

"Okay, sure!" Xiao He said, then suddenly glanced at Ye Wanqing's legs. She was wearing leggings today, which made her legs look particularly shapely and supple. He grinned mischievously and said, "Can I have a lap pillow today?"

"Hmph, even someone else's E-cup can't attract you..." Ye Wanqing muttered, glancing at him sideways, then patted her leg. "I'll give it a try. If my legs go numb, I'll just stick with the chest pillow."

Xiao He then lay down with his head resting on Ye Wanqing's legs. The flesh-colored leggings felt almost the same as stockings, just a bit thicker. And although Ye Wanqing's legs looked very shapely, they felt soft and fleshy to the touch. Resting his head on them felt simply wonderful...

"Ah... Heaven." Xiao He let out a contented sigh, then kissed Ye Wanqing's beautiful leg.

"Ugh..." Ye Wanqing pinched his cheek and said coquettishly, "You should just go to sleep."

"Hmm." Xiao He nodded, then rubbed against her leg again; the touch felt wonderful.

Ye Wanqing was a little angry. "You can't rest properly like this, I'm not going to make you a lap pillow anymore."

"I'll rest, I'll rest!" Xiao He quickly replied, then settled down.

Ye Wanqing nodded in satisfaction and gently patted his head.

"Hmph..." Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You always manage to calm me down... my little angel."

"Go to sleep," Ye Wanqing said gently, pinching his ear. "How will you have any energy in the afternoon if you don't sleep?"

"Compared to sleeping..." Xiao He said, getting up and pinning Ye Wanqing down, laughing, "Teasing you is a better way for me to recharge. Come on, let me kiss you."

"No..." Ye Wanqing turned her face away, "You're injured. We agreed today that you'd be deprived of your mating rights."

"But this is just a little intimacy, to help me recharge," Xiao He said with a smile, gently kissing her slender neck.

"You're just making excuses..." Ye Wanqing muttered unconvinced.

"Okay, I'm just making excuses. It's just because you're so cute..." Xiao He kissed her soft lips.

"Eek..." Ye Wanqing struggled symbolically for a moment, then began to cooperate obediently with him. After a while of lingering affection, Ye Wanqing nestled sweetly in his arms, rubbing her little head against his face.

"Look at you, you're just like a little kitten, so cute," Xiao He said, stroking her head.

"That's a foul," Ye Wanqing snorted in dissatisfaction. "We agreed that if you get injured, you'd be stripped of your mating rights."

"This is to recharge me so I can fight better this afternoon," Xiao He said with a smile, his lips brushing against Ye Wanqing's delicate face. Ye Wanqing glanced at him sideways. "You're just trying to fool me..."

After saying that, Ye Wanqing quieted down in his arms, but her little feet gently rubbed against his legs.

"Old Xiao, how about we go home for dinner tonight? I'll cook for you," Ye Wanqing said abruptly.

"There's not enough time tonight, but we can go back and have a late-night snack." Xiao He gently stroked the back of her head.

Ye Wanqing snuggled closer to him, letting out a happy chuckle, "If only all this trouble didn't happen, we could stick together every day... It's a pity this competition is going to last so long."

"Actually, it won't take that long." Xiao He placed his hand on her cute little bottom. "After today's five teams finish their matches, I'll be free for the rest of the week. The next time I'll be playing is next week's team battle."

"That's true, you only need to call one day a week..." Ye Wanqing muttered to herself, biting her nails. "We can also go back to school to avoid our identities being exposed."

"Yeah, then we'd have plenty of time to be together," Xiao He chuckled, gently scratching her chin. "You've already had the subcutaneous transplant; it would be a waste not to take advantage of the opportunity."

"Ugh, you rascal..." Ye Wanqing poked his face to make him move away a bit, "It's already past one o'clock, if you don't go to sleep now you won't have time to sleep, the competition is about to start."

"Then perhaps I should do something else?" Xiao He said with a sly smile.

"No way!" Ye Wanqing pushed his face away. "You have a match this afternoon, wait until tonight."

"Oh!" Xiao He nodded, secretly chuckling to himself: It seems my mating rights have been restored tonight...

So Xiao He ultimately didn't fall asleep at noon, but his spirits did recover.

At 2 PM, the competition was about to continue. Just like in the morning, the host would first do some advertising and introduce the members, so the competition would start around 2:15 PM. At this time, Xiao He went to the common lounge first.

"Did you take a nap?" Cui Man asked, looking at him.

"No, but I've rested well," Xiao He said, full of energy. Cui Man raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ye Wanqing meaningfully, and let out a long "Hmph--?".

Ye Wanqing blushed instantly, and said with embarrassment and anger, "I just gave him a lap pillow! What did you mean by that 'humph--?', Sister Man...?"

"It's nothing," Cui Man said with a smile, arms crossed, then her expression turned serious. "The remaining three teams today are from H Country Team, A Continent Team, and Y Country. You need to be careful. The relationship between these three countries and M Country is quite unusual."

"Hmm." Xiao He nodded in response, then began warming up in preparation for his performance.

There are still nine matches left to play today. Now, Xiao He needs to figure out how to understand his opponent's Superpower.

Soon, after warming up, Xiao He took the elevator to the arena, just like he had done in the morning.

The moment he stepped onto the field, a cheer erupted from the crowd.

The host, equally enthusiastic, exclaimed, "Oh! Yinglong back! Is he really planning to take on all five teams today by himself?! Can he really fight fifteen against one?!"

As he spoke, the host turned to the preparation room on the other side. "But his opponent clearly doesn't think so! Let's welcome 'Azure Dragon' from H Country Team!"

"Azure Dragon?" Xiao He frowned immediately: This is plagiarism, isn't it?

Then, a man in a black suit came out of the preparation room. The pattern on his clothes was somewhat similar to Xiao He's, with a dragon design, and even his mask was a dragon head mask, only with an Azure Dragon design.

"... I'm a little angry." Xiao He clenched his fist, deciding to test the other party's Superpower first.

Since this "Azure Dragon" dared to plagiarize him, it means he must be the strongest Mutant in the H Country Team.

Therefore, after the referee announced the start, Xiao He unleashed his kinetic energy from his feet, instantly arriving in front of the Azure Dragon.

Azure Dragon threw a punch at Xiao He, and a ball of blue flame instantly flew out from his fist.

The ball of azure flame slammed into Xiao He, sending him flying backward as his body was engulfed by the flame. Although Xiao He possessed a highly robust physique, he could still feel the heat, though it couldn't harm him.

"It's so hot..." Xiao He frowned and used Kinetic Energy Absorption to absorb the flames.

It seems that the opponent's Superpower is this blue flame.

"*%￥#@!" The other person rattled off a few words in Korean, but Xiao He only understood the word "Shiba."

Although Xiao He didn't watch Korean dramas, he knew that "Xiba" was clearly not a good word.

Then, the Azure Dragon, standing on two balls of azure flames, flew into the air, raised its hands to gather a huge fireball with a diameter of more than one meter, and threw it down towards Xiao He. Xiao He raised his hand to catch the fireball, but just as his hand was about to touch the fireball, the azure flames suddenly split into two as if they were alive, and then condensed into two giant dragons that pounced on Xiao He.

One bit Xiao He's wrist, while the other pounced on his chest.

"This is..." Xiao He frowned as he looked at the Azure Dragon that was biting his wrist tightly: the Azure Dragon felt more like a physical creature than a burning flame.

"Sister Man, this flame is an energy body, not just a simple flame. The opponent can control this cyan energy, both to form it into a physical form and to use it to attack enemies," Xiao He explained in the earpiece, then waved his hand to shatter the Azure Dragon that was biting his arm, and then absorbed the cyan flames on his body.

"Ah, damn it..." Azure Dragon cursed in mid-air, waving his hands and throwing four fireballs at Xiao He.

"That's enough, you fucking idiot! Keep throwing fireballs!" Xiao He said irritably, then used his Psychokinesis to dodge the four fireballs and fly into the air. In Xiao He's view, the opponent's Superpower was nothing more than this kind of blue flame; the only difference was the technique of using the flame. So, after figuring this out, he had Collection enough information.

The next thing to consider is how to win this match in a stylish and decisive way.

Looking at the counterfeit Yinglong in front of him Yinglong, Xiao He suddenly felt a bit annoyed: the Azure Dragon appeared earlier and was stronger than Yinglong in legends.

The other party deliberately created a "Azure Dragon" to counterfeit the "Yinglong," making it seem as if the other party was stronger than his original form.

"Tsk, tear off your dragon skin..." Xiao He sneered, "Sister Man, what's his attack and defense rating?"

"Attack rating 317, defense rating 368, roughly LV5 level," Cui Man replied in the earpiece. "But her physical abilities are only LV3 or less; she only achieved this level through her Superpower."

"I understand. The intelligence Collection is almost complete. It's time to decide the winner," Xiao He replied.

At this moment, Azure Dragon threw a punch at him, and blue flames flew out along his arm, forming a giant dragon that pounced towards Xiao He.

"Isn't this the Lushan Rising Dragon Strike?" Xiao He complained: What a country that loves to plagiarize.

He unleashed his kinetic energy from his feet, charging forward to the left, then quickly raised his hand to release a second burst of energy, leaving a trail in the air in the shape of a "V" as he instantly circled behind the Azure Dragon.

"Defense rating 368, should be pretty durable," Xiao He thought to himself, then punched the head of the Azure Dragon: "Get down!"

A ring of azure flames suddenly appeared around the Azure Dragon's body, blocking Xiao He's punch, but the blow still sent the Azure Dragon plummeting towards the ground. A cloud of smoke spread out, but the Azure Dragon managed to stabilize itself before hitting the ground, landing upright.

"Only one dragon can exist in this sky..." Xiao He laughed, then raised his hand and unleashed a powerful attack on the Azure Dragon.

Azure Dragon waved his hand and threw out a blue fire dragon. The giant dragon collided with the impact, and the blue flames formed a shockwave in mid-air, like a bursting firework. However, the next moment, Xiao He rushed out from behind the blue flames, grabbed Azure Dragon's face, and pressed him to the ground. "That is me, 'Yinglong'."

Smoke and dust spread, Azure Dragon was slammed to the ground, leaving a ring of craters around him. But Azure Dragon still hadn't lost his mobility. He barely managed to raise his hand, aimed it at Xiao He's face, and then unleashed a ball of azure flame.

Xiao He was thrown backward by the impact, but he did not let go. Instead, he unleashed the force from his hand that was pressing on Azure Dragon's face.

The Azure Dragon, pinned beneath Xiao He's grasp, groaned as his body shuddered violently. The shockwave released by Xiao He widened the crater on the ground, and the mask on the Xiao He Azure Dragon's face was shattered by the impact.

Xiao He immediately stood up, clapped his hands, crossed his arms, and stood aside, waiting for the referee to come forward and check his condition.

But as soon as he pushed it away, a blue flame ignited in the crater, growing ever stronger. Then, the Azure Dragon stood up from the crater, his body surrounded by blue flames. The features behind the mask were not handsome; his eyes were small, and his face was dirty from the previous attack, with an angry expression.

"*%￥#@!" the other person cursed.

Xiao He only understood two words, "Xi Ba" and "Ke Se Qi," neither of which were pleasant words.

Immediately afterward, the flames on Azure Dragon's body intensified. He arched his back, leaped into the air, and roared as he punched Xiao He in the face with all his might. A circle of azure flames spread out, sweeping across the arena. The powerful impact even made the spectators in the top tier feel a strong wind on their faces, and the crowd couldn't help but let out a unified gasp of amazement.

Despite the intense impact, Xiao He did not retreat an inch.

Azure Dragon realized something was wrong with the feel of his fist. He adjusted his perspective and was astonished to find that Xiao He had blocked his fist with just one finger.

Of course, Xiao He didn't actually block it with just one finger. His opponent had at least a level 5 attack power. He absorbed part of the impact and then blocked the rest with just one finger.

"My God! Azure Dragon's all-out attack was blocked by Yinglong with just one finger!" the commentator roared. "This man didn't even take a single step back!"

"Goodnight," Xiao He said, flicking the Azure Dragon's forehead with his index finger before releasing the shock he had absorbed earlier through this attack. A visible shockwave spread out, and the Azure Dragon tumbled four or five times in the air before crashing to the ground.

The referee stepped forward to check on Azure Dragon's condition, then stood up and gestured for him to get ready.

The commentator excitedly announced, "Azure Dragon has lost consciousness! The winner is... Ying--Long! In the same sky, there can only be one dragon, and that is— Yinglong!"

"Much more comfortable." Xiao He nodded in satisfaction. "You know, it's one thing to copy, but to insist on giving it a more prestigious name... it's shameless. 'Azure Dragon' was clearly copied from our culture too, wasn't it? Ugh, let's not talk about it, or they'll be applying for intangible cultural heritage status again..."

During the process of carrying the Azure Dragon away, Xiao He confirmed his willingness to continue the fight with the organizers.

"We've just received news that Yinglong is going to continue fighting! This is already his eighth match, and it seems this man is really planning to finish all fifteen matches today!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly from the stands. "So, is he just reckless, or does he truly intend to hold up this world?! Let's give a round of applause to... H Country Team, Zhu-que!"

"Have you no shame? You just stole the Four Divine Beasts by force, didn't you?" Xiao He rolled his eyes and thought to himself.

But looking at the man in the white suit with the Vermilion Bird pattern who appeared before him, Xiao He realized one thing: this guy was not easy to deal with.

This person reminded him somewhat of the Soul Blade from before.

Although the two people have different temperaments and personalities, they exude the same aura.

It's a feeling... of betting everything on something. It's pure. Such a person exudes a dangerous aura. Even Xiao He could sense that threat.

"Looks like another tough battle is about to begin," Xiao He thought to himself, a little excited.

The opponent didn't exchange many pleasantries after coming on stage; they simply silently assumed their taekwondo stance.
