Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

Page 106

"Joining your ranks is no problem, but how much autonomy can you give me? It's just that no matter how sharp someone else's knife is, it's meaningless to me."

"What a greedy kid."

Ten Ghost Snake and Two Tigers were smiling, their leaden eyes, like those of ferocious beasts, flashing with a chilling light that made it impossible to fathom their thoughts.

"However, it is only natural for capable people to be greedy. I have told my disciples this before. Although you have not experienced the 'Gu Poison,' you are absolutely worthy of the position of senior combatant. As for the issue of autonomy... if you can pass my test, I will recommend you to the leader to become the person in charge of the Japanese region."

· ······Requesting flowers····· ····

"and many more!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ji immediately cried out.

"I should be in charge of the Japan region! The leader won't agree to that!"

"Huh? Whether the leader agrees or not is not up to you to decide."

Ten Ghost Snakes and Two Tigers glanced at him and said contemptuously.

"And another thing, have you forgotten there's another person in charge here? If we add her signature, do you think the leader would agree?"

"...?!"

Xia Ji's expression froze for a moment, then he realized something and looked down at the blonde girl who was watching the show with a ferocious expression.

"The Divine Tiger Cries in Spring!"

He understood everything.

. ... .......

The Ten Ghosts and Two Tigers were definitely sent by this bastard to cause trouble.

She wasn't fooled; she was deliberately pretending not to know, wanting to destroy her plans in one fell swoop and bring her down in the process!

"What's wrong, Cadre Xia? You look terrible. Are you sick?"

Narukami Toharu feigned surprise.

"That won't do. You need to rest properly. As for work, Erhu and I will find a suitable replacement for you."

"...?!"

Too much bullying.

Xia Ji's face was ashen, and his breathing was labored.

This is clearly a coup attempt.

but--

"What a joke! This kid? He's qualified to replace me? Huh? A piece of trash with no foundation, a disposable pawn that can only be used once. I don't believe the leader would agree to that."

"You're right. That's why we need assessments."

Ten Ghost Snakes and Two Tigers chuckled.

"What test?"

Yato realized that Tokita Nitora and Narukami Torahatsu were conspiring against Natsuki. Although he couldn't figure out the details for the time being, the situation was clearly in his favor.

"The topic is force and capability."

Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers raised two fingers and said meaningfully.

"I know you participated in the Kengan Zemei tournament. If you can win the championship, then you've passed the ability test. As for fighting skills..."

"Feeding insects."

He suddenly turned to Xia Ji.

"Try using your usual methods for welcoming newcomers and test him. This is your only chance to turn things around, so make the most of it."

"..."

(I've burned out) Guang.

Chapter 140

five minutes later.

They moved to a different place.

It was a main road that had been cut off, with debris blocking both sides. One side was a river that discharged sewage, and the exit was the entrance. It was an extremely suitable venue for an underground boxing match.

Spectators can sit on the pile of debris and watch the boxers' deadly fight as if they were in the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

What does "the means of welcoming new people" refer to?

Before Natsuki arrived, Yato took the opportunity to ask Narukami Torahiro.

Although no strong person is insecure, a certain degree of caution is still necessary.

The blonde girl, dressed as a noblewoman from ancient Europe, raised the corners of her mouth and said leisurely, "Just as Katahara Metsudo also selects experts from outside to recruit into his guard team, and those with ability can even sit in the position of 'tooth', it's the same for [Mushi]. The so-called assessment is not for lower-level members, but a privilege that only senior combatants are entitled to."

"Although Xia Ji himself can be considered a master, to be honest, he has reached the end of his road. Therefore, he has focused on training his subordinates, using large sums of resources to do things that should be done by senior combatants, and has managed to arm a considerable force."

"I have to admit he's quite skilled in this area, to the point that he's the head of personnel promotion assessments for the [Insect Group]. Those who pass are undoubtedly the best of the best, although most of those who ultimately pass don't get along with him much, hehe."

In the end, Narukami Torahiro couldn't help but chuckle.

Yato was speechless after hearing this.

"...But we still have to be careful no matter what."

Being a teacher doesn't require being a great teacher; all you need to do is be able to set good questions.

"By the way... was that person you called 137?"

He glanced at the burly man sitting on the pile of junk, who looked like a white lion or tiger.

All I could see was Ten Ghost Snake and Two Tigers holding a bottle of something without a label, whose brand was unknown, and which I couldn't even tell was alcohol or water, and they were chugging it down their throats.

There's absolutely no sense of 'bold and unrestrained' spirit.

It gives the impression of animals eating.

Teeth tear the flesh of their prey apart, their breath carrying the warmth of blood.

Even when his leaden, beastly eyes were filled with laughter, they couldn't hide the cold-blooded cruelty behind them.

Despite lacking Conqueror's Haki, Yato had no doubt that most martial artists couldn't withstand even a single glance from him.

Just like natural suppression from the food chain level.

Very powerful and strange.

Yato quietly activated the system's detection function and took a look.

Then, the following data was presented.

Name: Ten Ghosts, Snakes, Two Tigers (?)

age:??

Talent: Possession of God

Title: [Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers]

Skills: None (lv19), Two Tiger Style Martial Arts (lv14)

Strength 7 (?), Agility 5.8, Constitution 7 (?) Total 19.8 (?)

……

Is it really true or not?

Narukami Torahatsu revealed a playful smile, and after a while, seeing that Yato hadn't said a word, he raised his head in confusion.

"what happened?"

"...No, it's nothing."

Seeing the other person raise the bottle in a gesture towards him with a rather strange expression, Yato calmly withdrew his gaze, but his tone was quite subtle.

"Are you looking at Lord Erhu? Speaking of which, have you heard of Erhuliu? Currently, there is a faction within the [Insect] that is led by him called the 'Erhuliu School'. In terms of status, he is far superior to someone like Xia Ji."

Narukami Torahiro spoke seemingly casually.

Yato knew she was deliberately highlighting the danger the other person posed, so he would be careful.

But there's no need to say more about that.

The attributes already tell us something.

With a total attribute score of nearly 20, even Yato didn't know how he managed to do it.

Also, what does the question mark ('?') after "strength" and "physical fitness" mean?

The last time I saw such a suspicious attribute panel was when I encountered Hibiki Sakura.

Could this person be the same type as Xiang?

"This doesn't make sense... I remember that the 'other Niko' mentioned in the original work fought against Master Tokita Ohma many years before the Kengan Zemei Tournament. The two should have been evenly matched, or even Master Ohma had the upper hand. But Master Ohma, that Niko Tokita couldn't possibly have this level of attributes!"

As a top-tier fighter whom some consider comparable to 'Fang of Destruction', Yato has gradually figured out the strength levels of the fighter community.

Although his own attributes are not high, they are at least mid-level in the Kengan Zemei tournament. Even against those with the strength to win the championship, it is not certain who will win or lose.

It would be impossible for him to feel such pressure under these circumstances.

Yato had been surprised by this before.

But now the answer is out.

It wasn't that his judgment was wrong, but rather that there was something wrong with this "Ten Ghosts, Snakes, and Two Tigers".

"After my battle with Master Wang Ma, what exactly happened to him that caused his attributes to rise to such an extent? No wonder... With such strong attributes combined with his superb martial arts skills, he can indeed pose a great threat to me, to the point that I can smell the breath of death."

Yato's heart sank slightly.

The water in [the insect] area is much deeper than I imagined.

Although the Ten Ghost Snakes and Two Tigers held a higher position than Xia Ji and were the leaders of a faction, their status should be second only to the supreme leader, so their strength was to be expected. However, their attributes were two points higher than Wu Lei'an's after liberation, which was simply astonishing.

"However, there's no need to be too nervous... If this guy was summoned by Narukami Torahiro, then he can be considered an ally in some sense. Since we don't need to be enemies for the time being, we can just cling to his coattails and climb up the ranks. With my growth rate, I'll catch up with him soon, and then I won't be afraid of turning against him."

Yato quickly calmed down and regained his composure.

Changes in emotions also lead to changes in one's aura.

Narukami Torahiro glanced at him in surprise, feeling that the aura of the 'cousin' beside him was becoming increasingly unfathomable, as if even if a huge rock were thrown in, it wouldn't cause a splash, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Just then, Xia Ji appeared.

He walked to the center of the field with a gloomy face and stood still.

Since it is an assessment, the examiners naturally also have the obligation to act as 'judges'.

Clang, clang...

A dozen or so people carrying heavy objects surrounded the area like two long dragons.

Yato raised an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised.

The items the other party was carrying were weapons.

There are all sorts of items, and there are hundreds of them.

It encompasses all the cold weapons that can be named from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, as well as some rare weapons that have been buried by history and that even he does not recognize.

Even weapons exhibition halls may not have such a rich variety.

"The assessment is divided into three steps."

Xia Ji suddenly spoke up.

The sound was like a cold knife scraping flesh, sending chills down your spine.

It's clear he's in a very bad mood right now.

"Let me state in advance that my assessment failure rate is very high, but it's not too late to back out now."

What are the benefits of going back on your word?
