Suddenly, a sound entered the passage.
It was both frenzied and boiling.
Even the slightest spark can ignite a flame in someone's heart.
"..."
"..."
The two looked toward the light outside the contestants' tunnel, exchanged another glance, and understood each other without saying a word.
"Alright, it's my turn."
The newcomer grinned, and even the shadows couldn't hide his bright eyes, which seemed to flicker like firelight.
Use your waist to lift yourself off the wall.
His upright posture, combined with his clean and white Taoist robe, exuded an indescribable aura of a master, making it difficult for anyone to look away.
The black and white streaks in the hair are also quite eye-catching.
· ······Requesting flowers····· ····
Tianyu stood still, without turning his head.
He let the other person brush past him and walked towards the other end of the field.
The instant their bodies intersected.
She could almost smell the flames.
Was it fighting spirit or murderous intent?
Tianyu couldn't discern this.
But what truly exists behind it all is a humanoid catastrophe.
His aura was gradually rising, like a raging fire, threatening to engulf the entire venue and suffocate everyone under its terrifying heat.
"Ha, let's make a scene and let the world see just how dazzling the man I've set my sights on truly is."
……
The venue was buzzing with excitement.
More than 50 percent of the people were screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs.
His face was flushed and he lost control of his emotions.
Even the air became scorching hot.
All pretense and decorum of the upper class were thrown to the back of their minds.
.. 0
Even after calming down, I won't regret it.
Because the next match will feature a fighter who possesses violence that can drive people to such obsession and madness!
"tooth--!"
"tooth--!"
"tooth--!"
The sound waves came one after another.
They have completely taken control of the entire venue.
Many viewers who were unfamiliar with the character were also drawn into the atmosphere and joined the group chanting "Fang of Destroyer".
A corner of the auditorium.
"My God! This is terrifying! Just how popular is that guy called 'Tooth'? It feels like everyone's here to watch his match."
Xiang looked at the frenzied audience around him and was so frightened that he shrank back in his seat and didn't dare to show his face.
"After all, he is the undisputed king of the Kengan Association. Even those who hate him would bow down to his power," Ayaka exclaimed.
"Is Mr. Yato alright? Of all people to encounter such an enemy in the very first match, just how unlucky is his employer?"
Gina seemed somewhat worried.
"Yato-kun will definitely win! Let's cheer him on together!"
Zhu Mei clenched her fist and said very seriously.
"...I don't think he'd hear us no matter how loud we shout."
Xiang's lips twitched.
"Xiang, you're wrong. Our great leader Pegin once said—In short, we must work harder!"
Gina's eyes burned with fierce determination, her fighting spirit soaring.
"Ah ha ha……"
The group chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this.
Just then, the host, Sayaka Katahara, spoke, drowning out the cheers from the audience.
"finally come!"
"This moment has finally arrived!"
"Next up is the first round, which is also the last match of the day!"
"Let's welcome our contestants to the stage!" (Guang)

The VIP room on the top floor of the venue.
"A match without a referee is no different from a bloody battle."
Kaguya smiled calmly, her gaze sweeping through the floor-to-ceiling windows, taking in everything on the field, including the two figures facing off.
"Oh ho ho~"
Katahara Metsudou, who was sitting in a chair nearby, let out a pleasant laugh.
“Fighters are warriors, and there are no rules on the battlefield. The referee’s presence is not a constraint, but a protection… However, this protection is irrelevant to the two of them.”
"Igarashi-kun is very strong, so strong that even Ghana was moved by him. He even made a lot of preparations for this match, and I believe Igarashi-kun is the same."
"I don't want to spoil their fun, and I don't want this battle to be tainted in any way. Because leaving the stage to those who are prepared and capable is exactly the result I want to see."
Beneath the seemingly joking remarks lay a chillingly intense emotion.
It doesn't matter anything else.
This pure desire could drive him to burn everything that stood in his way.
"Is this what they call 17's of leeway?"
Kaguya returned to her chair and sat down, with Hayasaka Ai, Narushima Koga, and 02 standing behind her, facing off against Katahara Metsudo's two bodyguards—Takayama Minoru and Onori Masamichi.
In terms of strength, there is no comparison.
These two, who are Katahara Metsudo's direct bodyguards, are both genuine 'tooth' level masters.
But Kaguya still came.
Why?
“Last time I visited in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare a gift. You may not care, but as a member of the Shinomiya family, I cannot do anything that would be beneath my dignity. Therefore, this time I plan to give you something that you are missing as a ‘belated gift’.”
Kaguya said calmly.
"Oh?"
Katahara Metsudo's eyes lit up, as if he had encountered something interesting. He looked curiously at the aloof girl who was much older than him but could temporarily sit on equal footing with him.
"What is it that I lack?"
"Correct."
Kaguya stared intently at the scene before uttering words in a calm tone that caused a slight change in everyone's expression.
"I intend to deliver a crushing defeat to you."
"..."
Katahara Metsudou was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly.
"Hmph... This is indeed an interesting and irresistible gift."
……
"Ding, you have triggered a hidden quest."

"Task Reward ⑤: The champion will receive 2 attribute bonuses, skill completion +10%, item lottery scroll (rare edition), random character template (permanent), and recruitment card."
A series of notification sounds rang in my ears, and a large amount of text was projected onto my retina.
Yato was momentarily distracted.
boom!
The ground is shaking.
This is not an exaggerated metaphor.
With a simple stomp, Ghana's foot created a dense network of cracks in the ground. The cracks weren't extensive, but they completely shattered the part of the ground that his foot touched!
The human form, resembling the very concept of 'violence,' stunned even the spectators outside the arena with its unprecedented aura.
A jet-black bodysuit encased muscles as strong and tough as rock and armor. Standing over two meters tall, coupled with a stern, imposing, and cold face, this constitutes the appearance of the fifth generation of Metsudo's Fang—Ganou Gaku.
However, in Yato's eyes...
Ghana is like a living Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Every move it makes can cause serious damage to the surrounding area, and it can also crush the opponent with overwhelming force.
It gives people the feeling that no matter how powerful others are, they are still a level below him in the food chain.
This is a dual suppression from both nature and force.
Many of the fighters who had faced him lost their will to fight.
After all, there's no reason for humans to have to confront monsters head-on.
