First Battle

Long Huicheng had anticipated this scene.

His expression didn't change much, but his gaze was fixed intently on Jiu Zhengxuan's back.

Jiu Zhengxuan had anticipated this scene and calmly looked at the projection in the void.

As previously agreed.

Little Qin Beast needs to act first to find the ' Envoy of the Veil's' equipment from the contestants, and then locate the Envoy of the Veil's lair, all in order to meet up with Xiao Ning.

"The Challenge of Seven Countries..."

"Could it be..."

Jiu Zhengxuan suddenly frowned, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "Am I not going to have a chance to make a move?"

This problem deeply troubled Jiu Zhengxuan.

Why did I even get to know Qin Yiguan? I wish I could turn back time.

"Brother Yiguan."

Heavenly Eye removed his goggles, his blue eyes flickering slightly. "The contestants from the seven nations all wear black bracelets on their wrists. The bracelets have insect-like writing on them, exactly the same as the writing on the robots. That should be the equipment of the Envoy of the Veil!"

Qin Yiguan finally left the railing he was leaning against and slowly straightened up. "Understood."

Inside the China Observation Room.

All logistics teams are operating at full capacity.

"Commander Long!"

"Jiu Zhengxuan's analysis report is complete!"

"Based on his abilities, and combined with our estimation of the abilities of the Island Nation's competitors, we have formulated four operational plans!"

"This can increase Jiu Zhengxuan's win rate by 24.6%!"

Long Huicheng had a habit of being nostalgic; whenever there were important documents, he would always ask his subordinates to print them out, creating old-fashioned A4 paper documents.

In General Long's words, "Having the plan in your hands makes you feel more secure, and reading it makes your thinking clearer!"

now.

Long Huicheng gripped a thick stack of A4 papers, his brow furrowed. "Operation Plan No. 1 won't work. This plan seems to completely counter the Island Nation's methods, but you've overlooked one problem: most of the information about the Island Nation's athletes' abilities is just speculation!"

"Number 2 won't work either... The win rate is high, but the risk is too great!"

"Number 3..."

Long Huicheng's eyes lit up, "Immediately notify Jiu Zhengxuan, I need to discuss this with him..."

It was at this time.

Looking at the battlefield, Long Huicheng was suddenly stunned, only to see Jiu Zhengxuan standing still without moving an inch.

The black-clad youth named Qin... something slowly walked to the center of the arena.

"No..."

General Han Ming, a four-star general, was also stunned. "According to the registration rules, each country can register no fewer than two participants. I thought... that young man surnamed Qin was just there to make up the numbers!"

"Qin Yiguan!"

"The starting lineup for China isn't actually Jiu Zhengxuan, the captain of the Youth Order Squad!"

"It was that unofficial staff member, Qin Yiguan, for whom there was no detailed information!"

The host gripped the microphone tightly, "He's in position!"

Immediately.

The host looked towards the Island Nation, "As per the previous agreement, you are the first challenger. This battle is simple and straightforward; it begins as soon as you step onto the stage. Who will accept the challenge?"

Boom!

A cloud of white smoke rose from the scene.

As the smoke cleared, a ninja dressed in black ninja clothing, his face covered by a black cloth, slowly emerged.

His body seemed to teleport from the athletes' area thousands of meters away to the center of the arena almost instantly.

"Escape technique?"

The host's eyes lit up, "In reality, this is obviously impossible, so the Island Nation's Reality Enhancement is related to ninjutsu!"

"Private ninja organization, today's battle is born!"

The black-clad ninja stared coldly at Qin Yiguan, his voice low and menacing.

The young host added, "He said he comes from a ninja organization from Island Nation, and that today's battle will end in certain death! Meaning, the China contestant is doomed!"

But then the Island Nation ninja continued to speak, though he was speaking in the Island Nation language.

The host frowned. "This contestant forcibly turned off the simultaneous interpretation, saying he didn't want to hear China spoken by himself!"

That's all.

The host slowly turned around, spat, seemingly suppressing his anger, then turned back to the audience, "Based on my professional ethics, I will translate for this contestant!"

"Born from the Island Nation, Tochigi Prefecture Matsumoto School, Hoshino Family, Jonin..."

The Island Nation athlete was speaking in a low, guttural voice.

The host said unhappily, "He comes from Island Nation, the Matsumoto School of Tochigi County, the Hoshino Clan, Jonin, and his name is Hoshino Teruda."

Clang!

But then, this Island Nation athlete, with lightning speed, left a trail of afterimages as he instantly drew his katana from his waist, slashed twice, and then sheathed it again.

This series of actions probably only took a fraction of a second.

However, thanks to ' Four-Dimensional Expansion technology', the audience was still able to see the only frame of the still image.

However, Hoshino Teruda's katana was much shorter than its scabbard. The moment he drew the sword, an extremely thin, transparent thread was tied to the tip, with a bright red cloth strip attached to the end of the thread.

The moment he swung his sword, the red ribbon fluttered in the air due to the pull of the silk threads; the instant he sheathed his sword, the red ribbon retracted into its sheath along with the samurai sword.

"Ninjutsu has increased!"

The Island Nation gripped the hilt of his sword, bowed slightly, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Host: "He said his Reality Enhancement is— Ninjutsu Enhancement, and he's not afraid to tell everyone because no one truly understands the profound and sophisticated ninjutsu of that Island Nation!"

Click!

But then, two 20-meter-long cracks suddenly appeared on the hard stone surface prepared for the competition on both sides of Qin Yiguan's body, dust flying everywhere. These two cracks sandwiched Qin Yiguan's body between them, and Qin Yiguan stood quietly, expressionless.

"The Island Nation contestant said that he only needed to deflect the blade by 30 centimeters to cut Qin Yiguan in two!"

"But he deliberately cut the ground."

He said it was a sword technique within ninjutsu, Sword-Drawing Slash!

"His knife tip was tied with a ' Corpse Sealing Technique,' it must be that red ribbon!"

"He can sever an opponent's neck in an instant, but the Corpse Sealing Technique will also instantly adhere to the opponent's neck, so that the opponent won't even know they're dead and can still move normally!"

The island country endured and bowed its body, "をWAし, あなたをkillす!..."

The host, his brow furrowed, continued, "He said he would next demonstrate their ninjutsu to the world, showcasing the Island Nation's strength. With his next strike, he would sever Qin Yiguan's neck, simultaneously activating Corpse Sealing Technique. He would gain glory, while the China contestant, who wouldn't die immediately, would suffer humiliation...!"

The ninja said again, "The art of five cars, the art of - the hand of the hand, the self-dividing, the envy, the envy, the war, the meaning, the loss, the loss!"

The host gritted his teeth and said, "He also said that this is the ' Joy Chariot Technique ' from the ' Five Chariots Technique ' of ninjutsu, a verbal attack designed to make the opponent envious and lose their will to fight!"

"Kill!!!"

Jonin Hoshino Teruda, gripping the hilt of his sword with one hand and the scabbard with the other, let out a powerful roar.

In that instant.

Caught off Long Huicheng felt as if the whole world had plunged into darkness.

The beautiful reporter Mu Yun, stretched out her fair hand and slowly covered her mouth.

Zhan Shi looked helpless, yet couldn't help but grin maliciously.

Officer Wang and his men arrived at breakneck speed.

To the audience, everything seemed to move in slow motion.

Hoshino Teruda's body burst forth like a black shadow, and with a clang, the samurai sword in his hand was drawn from its sheath. The red strip of cloth at the end of the silk thread was flung into the air and fluttered in the wind.

Silver fingernails silently grew from Qin Yiguan's fingertips, and with a flick of his arm, the samurai sword shattered into six pieces.

Hoshino Teruda's Pupil dilated slightly.

Qin Yiguan instantly appeared behind Hoshino Teruda, grabbed his hair with one hand, and with irresistible force, pulled his forehead toward the ground.

At the same time, Qin Yiguan raised his knee and slammed it into Hoshino Teruda's neck with a crack.

Hoshino Teruda's eyes bulged out, blood spurted from his mouth like a bouquet, his neck bones twisted and deformed, and the back of his head pressed directly against his back.

Qin Yiguan used his left hand to pull a black bracelet off Hoshino Teruda's wrist.

Then, grabbing the lifeless corpse with its shattered neck bones in its right hand, it slammed it heavily to the ground.

With a loud bang!

Hoshino Teruda's entire upper body was turned into a pulp.

The red cloth strip fell onto the crotch of the upside-down corpse, rendering the Corpse Sealing Technique ineffective.

Qin Yiguan stood on the red and white striped ground, looking up towards the Island Nation. "Next."
