[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

The battle between Hiyoshi and "Lobster" was stalemate for some time.

The monsters watching the battle in the auditorium all showed expressions of dissatisfaction, and their shouts became louder and louder.

"What's the matter with the mermaid team?! Did you find miscellaneous soldiers to participate in the competition?! There are no monsters that can't even cultivate a human form, not even D-level!"

"Is it a human head?!"

"Too sloppy!"

"Well, but two years ago, the Mermaid team wasn't completely wiped out, only that... who's that?"

"It's the captain of the mermaid team now! Yu Tu!"

"The whole army was wiped out?! Ha, have you lost a narrow escape once, and you haven't learned your lesson?!"

"But I heard that Yutu went to the devil world and came back again..."

"That guy has a brain hole?! He went to the Demon Realm and came back?!"

"You're the only one out of your mind! Didn't we all come to the human world because we couldn't get along in the devil world?!"

The words of the monsters in the auditorium came over, and Nioh got a lot of information from their words.

Some he already knew, and some were further verified, and some he didn't know.

He turned his head, and Byodoin was still standing with his chest crossed and expressionless.

"Senior, two years ago..."

The House of Equality did not speak.

King Ni didn't feel embarrassed, he directly lowered his head and said to the white fox in his hands like a domestic pet or a man-made doll, "You know what happened two years ago?"

"I don't know." The white fox said bluntly, "What are you in a hurry for? This kind of thing, when the opponent's mermaid master enters the field, he will talk about it himself."

real or fake?

Even if it is always drawn like this in comics, is there really such a stupid person in real life?

Before fighting, talk about your own mental journey and review your life experience...

"He can live until now because he is stupid." The white fox's tone was a bit meaningful, "People who are too smart are always easy to pretend to be smart."

Niwang was at a loss for words, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

He began to think about whether the white fox's words were alluding to something.

I also felt that I, who had started to think too much, had completely verified that the white fox's words were correct.

Hiji on the field finally found the weakness of Lobster in the long stalemate.

It's true that the shell is hard, but there is a reason why all youkai will continue to practice in a human form after training.All things have spirits, and human beings are indeed favored by gods.

He also heard the words from the audience.

Miscellaneous soldiers?

The monsters also think they are miscellaneous soldiers...

Then he absolutely cannot lose!

He quickly approached the lobster, grabbed the lobster's whiskers and jumped up, pulling the whiskers together with the knife-like scales on the lobster's tail.The whiskers are very resilient and will not be torn off by the scales on the tail.

In this way, the lobster is forced to bow in the opposite direction, and the softest part of the belly is forced to be exposed.

Hiji landed on the ground again, put on an ancient martial arts posture and punched dozens of punches at that place.He punched very quickly, and the strength didn't look strong, but his fist was covered with a thin layer of spiritual power.Nioh vaguely saw something the moment his final punch landed on the lobster's belly, but it was gone in a flash.He frowned: That was just now...

"Did that human kid call out the 'spirit' just now?"

"You're dazzled! I can't see anything!"

"That's right! Besides, human psykers can't all be of the same system. If they all summon spirits, then why should we play?"

"Really, I don't know when these human beings don't use spiritual power to turn into weapons, but use their own spiritual power to summon 'spirit' to fight..."

"No, they will also compress spiritual power into fists and lightsabers. Don't talk nonsense if you are ignorant. Compressing spiritual power is much harder than summoning 'spirit'."

"That's right, don't the witches next to me shoot spiritual arrows?"

Call "spirit"?

King Ren frowned.

Were these monsters referring to the things he had seen on the heads of his companions?

Knives, halos or something...

But are those practiced?Aren't Yukimura and Sanada just ordinary people?

Nioh kept these doubts in mind.

The lobster on the stage had fallen down with a howl, and the referee began to count the seconds.

"10, 9, ..., 2, 1! Team White Fox, Rijiruo, win!"

After winning the first battle, Hiji stood straight and saluted.

Second battle.

The mermaid team came out this time with a human-like monster, tall and strong, with tortoise-like armor on its body.Visible to the naked eye is a powerful opponent.

Byodoin was about to go out, but was stopped by King Ni.

"senior."

"Ok?"

"The chief general over there is your opponent." Nioh said.

Byodoin frowned and sneered: "You are the leader of this team, kid."

So call me the lord and call me a little devil?

"Even if senior is on stage in this match, the opponent will change." King Ni shrugged, "It doesn't make sense."

Besides, he was still waiting to hear the story.

Byodoin clicked impatiently, and stood in place again.And Niwang turned his head and glanced at Guanyue who was standing in the back position, and decided to play by himself.It's not interesting for people who barely want to compete, right?

Besides...

"Remember, use tennis balls." The white fox jumped on his shoulder, "Maybe it will be very interesting."

"A round tennis court?" Nioh complained in a low voice, "If I get used to playing tennis, I will hit people with a ball in a real tennis match."

"No, you won't," said the white fox.

When Nioh came to the stage, the audience rioted again.

"Did the main general come on stage so soon?!"

"Speaking of which, do you think the guy from the White Fox team looks familiar? It's the blond-haired guy..."

"Ah! I said Yu Tu reacted so strongly! That's the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple!"

"What?! The one from Byodoin?... He didn't look like this two years ago."

"Hey, human beings are different from us. It's normal for a lifespan of a hundred years or so to change greatly in two years."

"But if that is the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple, why is the commander-in-chief who has never even heard of his name..."

"The demon fox on his shoulder! Could it be the animal trainer?!"

"If you can get the help of monsters, it will be very beneficial in the game!"

"That monster looks like a little monster, what's the use?!"

The "little monster" White Fox floated into the air from King Nio's shoulders.

"Now is the second match between the mermaid team and the white fox team! The mermaid team, Ukita, VS, the white fox team, Nioh Masaharu, the match... begins!"

The original shape of the opposite monster is a turtle.

Nioh was so sure of this, he saw the overlapping turtle shadows above his opponent's body.Strong, fierce-eyed tortoise.

It was amazing, and made him think of the shadows he saw on the heads of people he knew, such as Sanada, Atobe, and Yukimura.That proved to be a method of spiritual power application, and further development would turn into something like the pirates of Byodoin.

And just now from the mouth of the monster in the audience, he learned that calling "spirit" is not an advanced skill.

Indeed, for someone like him who can see, it is equivalent to knowing the opponent's attacks and the nature of these attacks in advance.

But certainly not just this role.

So what else?

Is it related to the fact that the white fox must let himself play tennis on this occasion?

Nioh also put on a posture.

Not martial arts, but...

"Racquet?!" Riji, who just got off the court, opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Senior is planning to play tennis here?!"

Byodoin snorted, half-smile.

Nioh grasped the tennis ball made of spiritual power.

The opponent assumes a defensive posture and does not take the initiative to attack.

Nioh understood it as the habit of the tortoise.

Is the forte a monster of defense and strength?

If it's an opponent in a tennis match, it's just the type of him to play hard.

but……

He tossed the tennis ball.

Snapped!

In fact, there was no sound of hitting the ball. The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, there was a light on the racket like a witch shooting a bow of spiritual power.Ukita narrowed his eyes.

The opponent is a long-range?

Then let me estimate the weight of this attack!

"Come on!" He opened his eyes wide, facing the incoming tennis ball without dodging.

Boom!

The tennis ball hit him directly on the forehead, and then dissipated in the air without leaving a single mark.

He showed a fierce smile: "Don't you have any strength at all, human?"

"Break him!"

"Kill him! Tear him apart!"

The monsters in the auditorium were boiling again.

Nioh was also assessing his opponent's strength while holding the racket.

It's a very straightforward, tentative shot.The power is the same as I thought, almost nothing.

The tricks that are invincible on the tennis court are useless in this arena.Whether it's a zero serve or Tannhauser, it's true that it's an ace serve, but if the ball hits the ground and can't hit the opponent, then it's meaningless in this arena.

So what is a useful trick?

Serve... It's still too difficult to attack with a serve!

You have to create opportunities to return the ball!

Hit the opponent and bounce back?

Why does this trick feel familiar... "Waltz of Destruction"?

It is feasible to analyze according to the hardness!But the attack power... No, I still have to think about it.

Niwang narrowed his eyes.

Wu Mutian spread his legs apart: "It's my turn to attack, kid!"

His demon power vibrated, and the ring also began to vibrate, and cracks like spider webs appeared from under his feet.

Nioh ran, and the spiritual power attack that appeared from the ground like a volcanic eruption gradually caught up with him.He jumped up and swung his racket in the air.

shuh~

Several yellow lights flew towards the ebony field from different directions with their long tails.

"It's useless! This kind of attack is like scratching an itch!" Ukita shouted.

He let the tennis ball hit him.

Bang bang bang bang.

The exploding spiritual power caused the dust to fill the entire venue, and after the dust dispersed, Wu Mutian was indeed not injured at all.

Sure enough.

Nioh fell to the ground, thinking so.

"Boy! Don't dawdle! This kind of attack... are you looking down on me?!"

As Ukita said so, a hammer suddenly appeared in his hands.He slammed it hard on the ground: "The heavy hammer sparks!"

Lightning appeared out of nowhere, and Nioh tapped his toes and continued to run around the field.And Lightning chased him.

"Do you only know how to hide?!" Wu Mutian kept hammering the ground.

Too grumpy, this guy.

Nioh complained in his heart, and squeezed out a few tennis balls while running.

He swung his bat in the lightning and the rising dust, the movement was too fast, and the afterimage was covered by the dust.

one, two, three...

That's it!

He stopped suddenly and turned around.

Lightning is just around the corner.

Nioh narrowed his eyes at the lightning.He ditches the tennis ball, steps back and swings his arms.

Snapped!

Tennis balls and lightning bolts were placed frontally, and the collision of spiritual power and spiritual power produced a fierce light.Then the lightning and the tennis ball disappeared, and so did the dust.

The fighting field reappeared in front of everyone, including the two people who were safe and sound and the ground full of cracks.

"What are you doing?!"

"Can you be more serious?! Are you performing?!"

"Fuck that human!"

The audience fell silent for a second and then started clamoring again.

Nioh held out a finger.

Facing Wu Mutian, he swiped his finger down.

"boom."

what?

Wu Mutian frowned, he lowered his head reflexively, but activated his armor under the influence of intuition.

He arched up, the armor directly turned into a turtle shell covering him, and then his whole body lit up.Start from the ground.

what is that? !

He watched the small yellow ball draw several circles, and the circles were interlaced and entangled together.

Like a net.

Almost instantly, and after a few seconds of pause, the net exploded.

Silently, the light yellow light started, and it became brighter and brighter, so bright that the audience couldn't open their eyes.

The light lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually dimming.

The white fox who disappeared without knowing when reappeared in mid-air in front of King Ni.It fell on Nioh's shoulder: "This is not a tennis trick."

"I made it out of tennis balls," Nioh said.

"Forget it." The white fox flicked its tail, "Anyway, the effect of this move..."

The light is gone.

The tortoise shell cracked layer by layer.

But Wu Mutian, who was protected by the tortoise shell, was in a mess, but still had the strength to fight.

He seemed extremely angry, looking at King Ren with murderous intent: "Human, are you fooling me?"

what.

Not enough attack power.

Isn't that enough attack power?

Nioh clenched his tennis racket and felt helpless.

If pure tennis doesn't work...

There was a light on him.

It was a light that confused Hiyoshi off the court.

"Selfless state?" He couldn't help but look at Byodoin, "Is this the selfless state?"

Byodoin finally showed a subtle expression: "What do you think, what is the state of selflessness?"

It is spiritual power.

Hiji already knew this.

But knowing doesn't mean it works.Even if he can use spiritual power in ancient martial arts, but on the court, how to use spiritual power to achieve the state of selflessness... He tried many times but failed.

"Keep reading," said the Byodoin Institute.

watch it?

Hiji looked into the arena.

The light on Renwang's body gradually brightened, and then gradually dimmed.

But in contrast, behind him, a shadow suddenly appeared.

Riji widened his eyes, thinking what was that?

If this question is asked to be answered by his minister, it will probably be clearer.The same trick that was used by Byodoin to directly defeat Nioh during the training camp.

different dimension.

The first time Nioh saw this trick was in the match between Byodoin and the US team.

He thought about it for a while later, what exactly is a different dimension.

Is it an "evolution" of what's on top of his teammates' heads?

Or is it a projection of your own soul?

No matter which one it is, he first needs to know what his own different dimension will be.

And this question has an answer without even thinking about it.

He only thought of the sleeping white fox in the conscious world in his body.

Conditioned reflex, and naturally thought of this.

And after he actually summoned the shadow of the white fox, he vaguely understood the truth of some other-dimensional tricks.

It is the projection of the soul, and it can also be said to be the manifestation of spiritual power.It has the same thinking as the ontology, so it is more flexible in attack and defense.But in the final analysis, it is just a trick of the next level of "Selfless Realm".

And the monsters, call it the "spirit"?

In a way, it's apt.

The shadow of the fox became clear behind Nioh.Ukita's expression became vigilant, and a trace of surprise flashed across Byodoin's face.

Animal shape?

And this shape...

The monsters in the auditorium are already noisy.

"The spirit of that human is exactly the same as that white fox! Could it be that the monster is not the one we thought signed the contract, but is itself the familiar of that human?!"

"How can a monster become a familiar! There are barriers between spiritual power and magic power that cannot be converted!"

"Then how do you explain the appearance of that human spirit?!"

"Can't they look exactly the same?!"

"That is the most direct and appropriate manifestation of human spiritual power, and it is the projection of the soul!"

"Maybe that monster and that person grew up together!"

"...You really watched too many human TV dramas!"

Soul projection?

The most direct manifestation of spiritual power?

Yeah, that's right, so...

Anyway, isn't my future the white fox?

It's very appropriate and very interesting.

Thinking so, Nioh tightened his grip on the racket again.

And following his movements, the white fox behind him also assumed a hunting posture.

It was getting bigger and bigger, gradually covering Niwang's whole body.

And the snow-white shadow became clearer and clearer, and even the red eyes and sharp claws gave off a fierce aura.

But what is incredible is that at this time, the spiritual power emanating from King Ren's body gradually became somewhat similar to demon power.

Ukita showed a puzzled expression for a moment.

On the opposite side, is it really the "spirit", not the original form of the white fox?

This is clearly...

It's demon power!

Then his eyes blurred, and the white fox had already pounced on him.

The hunting of carnivores begins.

Claws and canines, and a bloody maw.

The white fox stepped on the broken tortoise shell in Wu Mutian as if playing with a ball of yarn, turning the tortoise over and over.

Wu Mutian almost doubted his perception.

This spiritual power... no, demon power? !Why... this sense of oppression...

He could barely move, and could only let the white fox scratch him.

In the special area, Zangma, who was watching the game with Little Yama, looked at the field with a subtle expression.This kind of visual sense of a little fox playing with a ball of yarn and toys...

Yusuke next to him patted him on the shoulder carelessly: "You fox cubs hunt like this? It's cute."

"...shut up." Kurama said.

He folded his arms, narrowed his eyes, thinking of a demon fox?

"I'm not of the same race as that guy," he said.

"Aren't they all demon foxes?"

Zangma: "...I am the demon fox, and he is the nine-tailed fox."

"Isn't there only one tail?"

Kurama couldn't bear it anymore and swept away Yusuke's hand on his shoulder: "Then how many tails do I have now?!"

Of course there is no tail.

Yusuke laughed twice: "You foxes like to be human."

Tibetan horse: "..."

It's all said that I and that guy are not of the same race!

"Playing around" lasted about 1 minute.

The huge white fox finally scratched the tortoise's paw under its feet, and pushed the tortoise away again.It tilted its head and looked at the unresponsive tortoise for a while, then took two steps back, its body became smaller and lighter, and when it disappeared into the air, it revealed Nioh who was still holding a racket.But Umeda was already in a coma, with injuries all over his body.

But the strange thing is that these injuries seem to be marks of the original shape.

Didn't you scratch it with your claws?

Wait, that human...

The monsters looked at the racket Nioh held in his hand.

"Is this a new type of weapon?"

"yo-yo?"

"No! Baseball!"

"Don't you all pay attention to tennis games? That's obviously a tennis racket!"

"Are all the weapons in the human world so strange?!"

"You are so strange! Aren't these all sports?!"

"When you are in the ring, you are a weapon!"

"I don't know if tennis is a weapon, but baseball is definitely a weapon! I don't know how many monsters have been defeated by a female exorcist with a baseball bat. Have you all forgotten this incident?!"

When they were discussing, the referee had already counted down the seconds.

"In the second match, Team White Fox, Masaharu Nioh, win!"

On the big screen, Wu Mutian's name was marked with a big cross.

When Niwang walked off the stage, his face was a little pale.

The consumption of different dimensions is still too much for him.

But fortunately, the pace of the group arena is faster than that of a tennis match.It only took him a few minutes.

"Really, every time you finish a game, it's as if your energy has been drained. You're weak, brat." The white fox landed on his shoulder again.

King Ni was too lazy to listen to it.

When he returned to his original position, he met Byodoin's interested eyes and Hiyoshi's surprised eyes.

As for Guanyue, Guanyue's eyes are still very cold, and there is a little entanglement in the coldness.

And that "foreign aid" was eating oranges as if it had nothing to do with him, as if he didn't care about Nioh's game.

Really don't care?

Nioh thought, the way he looked at the racket...

Nioh let go of his hand, making the tennis racket disappear in his palm.

Hiji took two steps forward, and asked hesitantly, "Senior King Ni..."

"Ok?"

"Are you planning to practice tennis skills in the Dark Budo Conference?" Hiji asked his own question, "But even if the attack power of tennis is improved in the group arena, can it be used on the court?"

Nioh: "..."

"How do you know if you don't try?" King Ren said.

Hiji nodded thoughtfully.

Nioh felt a little guilty: If I accidentally mislead the next head of Bingdi, will Atobe trouble me?No, Atobe doesn't know either, does he?

He coughed.

The third game is about to start.

Having already lost two games, as the leader of the Mermaid team, Yu Tu couldn't wait any longer.

He went directly to the stage and pointed to Byodoin: "I think about you day and night, it's been two years!"

House of Equality: "..."

"Come on, let's settle our grievances!" Yu Tu's eyes showed a fierce look, "I will tear you apart this time, and eat all your internal organs and bones!"

House of Equality: "..."

"Senior?" King Ren raised his head slightly to look at him.

The House of Equality tutted.

He took a step and stepped onto the ring.
