Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

At the [Martial Arts Contest], the special invitation seats set aside next to the venue.

After seeing the battle between Fang Yi and Will in his own camp, the [Minister] did not show any joy beyond words.

The fat ‘lion’ just moved his body and squinted his eyes to look at Fang Yi.

[What is he going to do? Want to cut ties with me? ]

[He is not stupid, there must be a deep meaning behind his actions! ]

[However, if he does this, more people will be optimistic about him, and the points I can get from the reincarnationists in the subsequent gambling will be greatly reduced. ]

While thinking about the other party's rejection of his orders and the "rebellious behavior" behind not using the knife, he sighed to Bud on the side.

"Fang Yi's punch is incredible, even when I was practicing boxing, I didn't practice to this level.

"It seems that General Liva, who has been smooth sailing in the other half of the area and is regarded as a pillar of the empire, will meet an opponent worth fighting before the 'finals'. "

Hearing the words of the [Minister] praising Riva, looking at the venue surrounded by water, Bud blushed for a rare moment.

After calming down by propping up his face with his elbow, the [Strongest in the Empire] said in a calm tone.

"This pool surrounding the venue is just enough for him to give full play to the venue advantage of the [Imperial Equipment].

"Isn't this what you agree with, Ernest?

"Besides, the outcome of this battle is actually not important in the current situation of the Empire.

"What's important is what we want to show through the [Martial Arts Tournament]."

——

While speaking, Bud cast his eyes on the only remaining reincarnation in the preparation area who was about to compete with Riva, and his tone became a little heavier.

"The most urgent task is to demonstrate the abilities of these [Imperial Equipment Users] and warriors through the [Martial Arts Contest]. Strengthen the confidence of nobles, imperial army soldiers, and powerful merchants in our victory and boost morale.

"I deliberately allocated some votes to officers and some outstanding soldiers of the imperial army in order to further stabilize the military spirit.

"At the same time, let the soldiers get a close look at the strength of these [Imperial Equipment Users] and increase the support of the imperial soldiers for [Imperial Equipment Users] such as Fang Yi.

"So that the orders of these [Imperial Equipment Users] in combat can be carried out by the soldiers.

"It is also necessary to reward the participants with military positions, such as Fang Yi should be given a position of general, and then tell all the audience that the empire will not treat capable people unfairly, thereby increasing mobilization."

The [Minister] smiled and added the last sentence.

"Can we take this opportunity to announce that the winner of the [Martial Arts Contest] can directly take the throne of a higher-level general and participate deeply in this defense battle?

"Finally, let General Esdeath appear, show her strength in front of everyone, and raise her reputation in the empire.

"Whether Liva or Fang Yi fights General Esdeath, they are just the 'stepping stone' for her to make a shocking appearance.

"But with the blessing of 'that', these tasks are actually a bit redundant, right? "

[Minister] said 'stepping stone', but he was thinking about what was going to happen next.

[His strength should be on par with Zhu Tian now. Perhaps he didn't draw his sword just to confuse Liva, so that he could use some tricks to gain an advantage and meet Esdeath.]

[Well, based on my understanding of him, that's roughly it.]

[He doesn't really want to defeat Liva with his bare hands, does he? That's too unbelievable.]

[Well, then the scenario I prepared earlier where Fang Yi won against Esdeath might be able to trick more people from the Reincarnation.] Points! 】

——

After ‘finding out’ the other party’s motives, the [Minister] cast his eyes on Fang Yi, and a little regret rose in his heart.

Fang Yi is really useful.

If he didn’t know so many things, his previous layout of promoting such a talent to take charge of the imperial army would be beneficial to further consolidate his power in the empire.

Unfortunately, these things are useless now.

He is about to leave here, and the destruction and prosperity of the empire have nothing to do with him.

He has decided to use all the chess pieces to kill Yuan Qi, the ‘detainee’, and at the same time personally turn the situation around to make money. Take the plan of [Great Cause].

Thinking of this, the [Minister] stood up and looked around.

He looked at the people he had known for the past few decades, and finally looked up at the blue sky of the imperial capital.

After throwing away the regret and the reluctance to give up the "career" and power he had built up throughout his life, he firmly said goodbye to his past decades in his heart.

[Goodbye, my empire, my struggle. ]

[Fang Yi, whether it is you, all the reincarnations of this mission, or Bud, Esdeath, or the man named Yuan Qi, Your fate is already determined. 】

【You will all become my ticket to the [real world]! 】

The announcement sounded in his ears, interrupting the [minister]'s self-intoxication with his plan.

"Guards General Liva vs. General Liva"

The last match before the final battle between Fang Yi and Liva began.

——

As the announcement sounded, the two sides came to the renovated venue, and the voices of the arena, which were previously "boiling", were unusually lowered by several decibels.

The audience, who should have been more enthusiastic at the beginning of the battle, seemed to have lost interest in watching the battle.

Even such words were heard sporadically in the crowd.

"It's a bit bullying for General Liva to participate in such a conference. Although it complies with the registration rules, it's still a bit..."

"Indeed, they also specially built a venue surrounded by water to facilitate his [Imperial Equipment] to play. I think General Budd wanted to give him the 'predetermined' champion."

"Why didn't they move General Esdeath to participate?"

Hearing the audience's ridicule, Liva was a little ashamed standing in the field, but he still stiffened his face under Budd's order.

Then he imitated Fang Yi's previous actions to the reincarnation in front of him, raised a finger to everyone, and said some shameless words.

Playing the role of the 'villain' who was to lose to Esdeath in Budd's plan, he turned himself into an excellent 'stepping stone'.

"I will not take the initiative to give up my advantage in battle and disable my [Imperial Equipment].

"If you can let me activate the [Imperial Equipment] a second time, I will lose.

"So you have to be careful in the battle."

A similar declaration was made, but it received a completely different treatment from Fang Yi.

There were also a few boos from the audience.

"Fang Yi took the initiative to give up his advantage and increase the difficulty, but he didn't suffer any loss at all."

"Hurry up and have someone beat him. This face is really annoying. Only General Bud's deputy can do this!"

After hearing someone's rude remarks, the people around hurriedly stopped the audience who made "bad remarks" and persuaded them.

"Keep your voice down. This conference is hosted by General Bud. Besides, who knows if Fang Yi can really beat him?"

"Bullshit, this battle without suspense [Minister] didn't even open the market. He opened the market for the next game directly. Who do you think is the one to bet on?"

"Of course it's Liva! Who can't get along with money?"

"."

*

"3, 2, 1, start!"

As the referee announced the start of the game, the result of this boring battle was naturally not beyond the expectations of the audience.

Liva just raised his hands, and the [Water Dragon Possession·Black Marlin] on his fingers flashed, and the water flow around the venue was dispatched.

Under the control of his [Imperial Tool], the water flow turned into four giant water pythons about ten meters high that lingered around the opposite side before the reincarnationist drew the long sword at his waist.

Looking at the water python that occupied almost half of the venue with both offense and defense, the reincarnationist facing Liva took another look at the long sword in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

"I have to rely on this sword and 25 points of three-dimensionality to fight this?

"Isn't the difficulty of this task wrong? "

Fortunately, Riva did not give the Reincarnationist more time to react.

The old general with white hair and beard and wearing a leather coat ended the battle in just a moment.

Like a conductor waving his arms at a concert, he waved his hands, and the water pythons around him responded and rushed towards the poor Reincarnationist.

This simple and plain physical collision without any [Imperial Tool] [Secret] also reaped the expected result.

The Reincarnationist who stood with a sword and swung out a sword was like encountering a crossroads at night. Even at a red light, he would never slow down, like a "great luck" who was in danger.

After the water python swallowed the sword energy, it flew out of the venue in a strange posture.

After ensuring his victory.

Riva raised it with one hand and activated the [Imperial Tool] again, instantly creating a springy water bed behind the flying reincarnationist, and caught the reincarnationist.

Then he bowed to the audience in the referee's declaration of "Winner, Guards·Riva".

He also launched a planned provocation towards Fang Yi not far away.

"I'm in a hurry, next one.

"Let's start this boring battle directly, anyway, I will win!"

At the same time, he cast his eyes on the special invitation seat and sang a double act with the three people.

"In addition, I am already a general. I am not satisfied with the reward of the general's military position after winning the championship. I want more.

"I will continue to challenge General Esdeath, who has been idle for a long time, to prove that my strength is worthy of a higher military position! ”

*

Hearing Riva’s words, Esdeath in the special guest seat stood up and faced the changed ‘script’.

“As my former subordinate, you are a bit arrogant.

“But I never refuse a challenge!

“I accept this challenge, and I will have another extra match with the winner of the [Martial Arts Tournament]!”

Esdeath did not look at Riva but made his victory declaration to the audience in the field.

“If I lose, I can let you take my position as general.

“But this will never happen.

“The name of the winner of this battle has already been engraved, and that is me!”

Budd on the side also stood up at the right time and acted as a peacemaker according to the script.

“Riva, you have crossed the line.

"I agree with your enterprising spirit of [martial arts], but your actions just now are undoubtedly an overstep!

"Although General Esdeath agreed to your request, after the battle, you must go to the Guards and accept the punishment."

Before Bud finished speaking, the female general next to him said something out of the "script".

"But I think I won't be able to see you, because you will lose!

"If you can force Fang Yi to draw his sword, I will give you a "not bad" comment!

"Stop boring words, please start fighting, I look forward to your performance!"

After the female general's final words, [Secretary] and Bude on the side also nodded in time and acquiesced to the extra game.

The sound of the battle also sounded.

"The Guard General Liva vs. The Local Army Fang Yi."

——

As the newspaper sounded, Fang Yi, who had closed his eyes and rested for a long time, walked onto the venue.

[It is time to leave a deep impression on the audience and the onlookers, so as to continue to ‘hatred’ my [Black of Sincerity]. 】

[Liva is quite a good opponent. You can use some of the techniques of using "power" in [Only My Sword] through [Fang Zhengquan]. 】

Looking at Liva who was ready to go, Fang Yi raised three fingers again and made an "arrogant" declaration to the audience.

“I still don’t draw my sword in order to make the battle more exciting.

"At the same time, in order to extend the battle time a little bit so that the audience can watch the battle worth the price, I will not take the initiative to defeat you at the Speed ​​of Light.

“I will stand here and don’t move my feet, and I will give you three times to go out on your phone.

"Come on, please show the power of your [Imperial Tools] and show the style of the Imperial soldiers!"

The audience who had been looking forward to this battle heard Fang Yi's words and their enthusiasm instantly increased.

The atmosphere in the field, which was already on the verge of boiling, was pushed up to a higher level again and exploded.

"If you can see this battle, it will be worth the ticket price!"

"This is the [martial arts] spirit that should be revealed in a warrior."

"That's it, Lord Fang Yi! Kill this madman who is shameless, relies on the venue to cheat and wants to challenge General Esdes!"

Of course, there is also a little dissatisfied slander and doubt.

"Stupid! Arrogant! Why should he dare to do this?"

"Never fought normally, this must be another fake match to harvest our property!"

"Coward! I want to lose but I still make excuses! If I don't want to fight and admit defeat, just get out!"

*

Liva, who was standing beside him, heard Fang Yi's words and suddenly felt a fire burning in her heart.

He was so excited for the first time that he had been half buried in the soil and had been in a stable mood.

He stared at Fang Yi with wide eyes.

Like a hungry hyena locked in the fat antelope that was her dinner, she looked at Fang Yi.

The old general's thoughts in his heart at this moment were simply nothing short of simple.

[You dare to say such things to me, too? 】

[How dare you say such things to me? 】

After trying to suppress the swear words that were about to blurt out, and breathed a breath to calm down, he responded.

"Okay! OK! OK! OK!

"I want to learn the boxing skills of this master of swordsman!

"If you can beat me in this way, I will bow down and call you "Master" when I see you.

"If you can't do it, then"

Faced with Liva's response, Fang Yi just tilted his head and said to the referee beside him.

"A lot of time wasted, can you start?"

Amid the referee's trembling countdown, this "unfair" battle opened.

——

“3, 2, 1, start!”

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Liva waved her hands hard and shouted softly with a brand new move.

[Snake in the Abyss]!

With a surging meaning, he was about to feel the "momentum" of the realm of "integration" and followed the trend, carrying the water flow behind him into dozens of wild aquatic pythons to attack Fang Yi.

These several huge pythons that flooded the entire site and occupied the entire space, leaving Fang Yi nowhere to dodge, and the increasingly ferocious aquatic python, which had reached halfway through the journey, had undergone a change.

Several aquatic pythons merged like tributaries into the river. They turned into giant snake heads that were enough to span the entire site with just opening their mouths, smashing towards Fang Yi from mid-air.

Looking at Fang Yi who was not dodging or avoiding, Liva smiled coldly.

"If you don't dodge, you will be dead!"

But the next moment, a play that was difficult for him to understand appeared in his eyes.

Facing the two snake heads that span the entire field, one up and one behind, one behind, Fang Yi did not use boxing.

Instead, he stretched out his hands and spread his palms, rubbing at a snake head that was attacking first like kneading the dough.

He actually wanted to capture the snake head made of water and then "throw it" back!

There is still another chapter later, and it's still being modified
