I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

White light flashed.

Uchiha Hikari's figure disappeared from Penglai Island and appeared in Zanchi World.

The first thing you see is a large room.

All the "Night Raid" members, including Brand, were standing around, looking towards her with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Incredible..."

"Can you really travel from another world?"

"Is this the 'Miss Light' that Mr. Brand was talking about? She looks so small, just like a child..."

"so cute……"

There was a burst of discussion.

Brand coughed and said solemnly: "First time meeting, Miss Guang, I am Brand. These are my bosses and partners... This is the boss Najiexitan, this is Chitong, this It’s Lubbock…”

After a brief introduction.

It was only then that Najiexi, as the leader, nodded in greeting and said in a deep voice: "It's an honor to meet you, Miss Guang. As a strong person from another world, it is really our honor that you are willing to cooperate with us. But I’m not sure how much you know about our world. You know, there are so many strong men in the empire’s army, and even the members of the ‘Night Raid’ risk losing their lives at any time to fight against them…”

"Just tell me who you want to kill."

"what?"

Najiexi was stunned.

Uchiha Hikaru moved his neck and glanced at the people around him without revealing anything: "Maybe we can have a fight first."

"Just as you have doubts about my strength and identity, my understanding of you is also superficial. Let's compare it and see our respective levels. Only the strong are qualified to bargain, right?"

"..."

This rhetoric of "power and power" was inherited from Xia Mi.

but……

Uchiha Hikaru is indeed interested in seeing the strength of Brand and others in order to judge his own position in this world. Especially when trying to estimate Esdeath's strength.

If nothing else, this person may be the only one who can pose a real threat to her.

"...Then just follow what Miss Guang said."

Najexitan nodded.

Then, she made an invitation gesture and led Uchiha Hikaru and his party outside.

Judging from the surrounding environment, this is a remote mountain col, densely covered with jungle and sparsely populated.

However, the land in front of the house was very smooth. It was probably a training place specially built by "Night Raid".

Uchiha Hikaru took a few steps forward and stood dozens of meters away, crossing his hands and moving his joints a few times.

Across from him, Brand stood empty-handed.

"By the way...don't Mr. Brand plan to use the Teigu?"

"If we're just sparring, there's no need to use that, right?"

"……what ever."

In fact, Uchiha Hikari wanted to fight Brand who was in the "haunted" state, but Brand was unwilling and she couldn't force him.

"So……"

"let's start."

The words fell.

Uchiha Hikari's figure flashed across a distance of tens of meters in an instant, appearing in front of Brand like a ghost!

"So fast?!"

Brand raised his arms to block, only to feel a huge force coming towards him, causing him to fly backwards involuntarily!

The next moment, Uchiha Hikari caught up with him like a shadow, and delivered another powerful and heavy side kick.

boom--!

This time, Brand's reaction was obviously faster. While pressing his heels on the ground to stabilize his body, he raised his elbow to block the side kick, and then punched the opponent. Uchiha Hikari blocked it with his palm, and landed on the ground with a crisp backflip.

"It's interesting... come again!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Guang!"

After the first round of testing.

Brand's expression also became serious, and he began to show his true level.

According to the setting of the original work of "Zhanchi", Brand and Chitong are both one of the Teigu users whose strength is closest to Esdeath.

but……

Even if it's "closest", it's actually far away.

In the final battle of the original work, Esdeath single-handedly fought against more than a dozen Teigu users, including Red Eyes, plus hundreds of thousands of troops, and the fight was evenly matched. If Murasame's curse hadn't been too overbearing, he might not even be able to defeat her with this configuration.

And now.

After several rounds of fighting, Uchiha Hikari has roughly gained an idea of ​​Brand's strength——

Very strong.

But not as good as Xia Mi.

To be precise, it is not as good as Xia Mi in dragon form.

(Brand, who uses "Evil Haunted", should be much stronger than he is now, and may be close to Shami in dragon form. Then Esdeath's strength...)

(Maybe close to the combined dragon king?)

(Those super dangerous species used to make Teigu are probably at the level of the first generation species, right?)

Thoughts are floating around.

Uchiha Hikaru said in a calm tone: "Mr. Brand, are you still not going to use the Teigu? If it's just a battle of this level, it would be a bit boring."

"...Okay, that's as you wish."

"Haunted by evil spirits!"

As Brand opened his arms, a ball of red flames burst out from his side and turned into a piece of silver-white armor, covering his whole body.

Faintly.

Uchiha Hikaru saw a huge dragon-shaped shadow quietly appearing behind him, and then quickly disappeared into the armor.

"Super dangerous Tyrande?"

Amid the pressure that hit his face, Uchiha Hikari raised his hand, and the +3 dragon bone knife appeared in his palm. At the same time, he took a deep breath: "Eight Gate Dunjia·Third Life Gate, open!"

"The breath of thunder...a flash of thunder·256 times the speed of slashing!!"

At this moment, the speed of Uchiha light suddenly increased several times, tearing open the air with a series of shadows, and swept towards Brand on the opposite side.

……

It was pretty much what Uchiha Hikari expected.

Brand, who has "haunted by evil spirits" activated, is roughly the same as the dragon-turned-Xiaya. If you don't count Xia Mi's "Eye of All Things" authority that belongs to the Dragon King, Brand may be slightly stronger.

Unfortunately, the staying power is lacking.

After the battle raged for about ten minutes, Brand took the initiative to remove the "evil haunting" due to excessive physical exertion, and then surrendered.

Until this time.

Uchiha Hikari casually put away the dragon bone sword and turned his gaze to Najiexitan, who was watching not far away: "How does this kind of physical skills compare to the imperial general you have seen?"

"You mean Esdeath?"

Najexitan was still immersed in the surprise caused by the battle just now. She pondered for a moment and slowly said: "If compared with Esdeath when I took away my eye and left arm, it should be worse. Not too much, but compared with her after taking the 'Devil's Essence', it's hard to say."

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikari was noncommittal. After all, she didn't use Susanoo and Mangekyou Eye Technique just now: "Is she in the Imperial Capital now?"
