So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 225

The audience suddenly went quiet, and the foreigner friends were shocked by the sword aura. Other than the local demon descendants exclaiming how powerful the sword aura was, they were also shocked by Miyamoto Hideki’s one hit KO.

Everyone probably didn’t think that this ugly-looking Japanese swordsman had such a shocking cultivation. Shentu Junyan was already one of the best amongst the younger generation. However, he couldn’t even hold one move against him.

“That’s too arrogant. What does he mean by that? How dare he say China’s young experts are too weak and let him down?”

“This dude is so cocky. Come on, let him know how powerful China’s young experts are.”

“What the f***, Shentu Junyan is useless. He’s like some young idol that is popular locally but absolutely worthless in front of foreigners.”

“How could this be, boohoohoo, Shentu lost so miserably…”

After a brief silence, the commotion was as loud as the crashing of waves.

However, they could only vent their anger by yelling and cursing. Miyamoto Hideki did not return to the spectator stand, but strode out. He had achieved his purpose, both to show off and to dampen the vigor of China.

Once he defeated Jie Se or Dan Chenzi, he would have made a worthy trip to the Forum Conference. Then, he would practice in China for a while and challenge all kinds of masters, while waiting for the opening of the Great Deities Palace.

“Who’s this guy? He’s unexpectedly strong.” Li Xianyu had a conflicted expression. This made him realize that this year’s conference was different from the past, and that China had become a gathering place for top masters because the Great Deities Palace would open at any time.

It so happened to clash with such a major event like the Conference, so there were many foreign young experts.

His competitors were no longer just Jie Se and Dan Chenzi, but also Eric, and the very arrogant Japanese swordsman who had great technique in wielding the shinai.

Buddha Head must have foreseen the situation. Bah, you bald donkey, just tell me straight if you didn’t want to help me. Why be so pretentious?

“Miyamoto Hideki hails from the Hokushin Itto-ryu. As he was not favored by the teacher, his teacher refused to teach him traditional advanced swordsmanship. After he wasted a few years, he began to secretly learn his teacher’s sword techniques. After he was found out, he was expelled from the sect.”

“Shortly, he learnt from the Niten Itto-Ryu Sect. After three years, he began to wander around, challenging swordsmen everywhere. He was repeatedly defeated but fought repeatedly. After a few years of being active, there was little news of him. Two years ago, his swordsmanship finally came reached an epitome, and he mastered the fastest Iai sword technique and fiercest Niten I-Ryu Sword Technique,” Sakurai Yukinako said.

“Nobody expected a mediocre talent to get to this point, but I hate him. Miyamoto Hideki has almost all the weaknesses of men, lustful, domineering, arrogant, cocky… But none of these weaknesses are fatal to him. He would be overly obsessed with a woman, but be able to kill her if necessary.”

“I’m not surprised that he’s here at the Conference. The Miyamoto Hideki you are seeing now is restrained. When he really beats Jie Se or Dan Chenzi, he’ll say, ‘I’m not targeting you Chinese. I’m saying everyone here is garbage.’”

“You know that meme too.” Li Xianyu was surprised.

“Well, I have been in China for half a year.” Sakurai Yukinako was proud of herself.

“You’re very good at gathering information,” Li Xianyu said.

Of course, how else could I have taken that good opportunity to shoot you. But I’m young, and wasn’t stable enough in handling matters. If I had shot you in the head that day, I wouldn’t have failed in my mission, Sakurai Yukinako thought.

She glanced at San Wu secretly and heaved a sigh of relief after realizing the other party didn’t pay much attention to her. When San Wu was present, Yukinako would be more silent and low-key as she was scared of being recognized.

Li Xianyu felt rather regretful, as he didn’t see Mocking Machine One battle with Mocking Machine Two in this entire afternoon.

…

Three days passed in a flash. In the elimination process, 1200 players was down to only 32 left. The conference will usher in the first wave of climax: the top 16. This year’s conference was particularly interesting.

With the addition of young foreign experts, it would be more exciting. Whoever dared to run to a foreign country to fight in the ring must have some degree of ability.

Of the 32 people, only 20 were native Chinese and the rest were foreigners.

A battle that was not too fierce had just ended. The strongest young master of the Xu family lost to the girl from the Japanese Aoki family.

Aoki Yui placed her hands, that were crossed on her thighs, as she bowed 90 degrees. “Good match!”

Although Xu You was defeated, he didn’t seem to care. Instead, he asked in anticipation, “Can I have dinner with you at night?”

Aoki Yui smiled. “Before the championship, I will host a banquet to invite the top 32 contestants. If Xu-kun has not left Lianghua Temple, please be sure to visit.”

Xu You contentedly clasped his fists together in greeting and left.

Aoki Yui became famous on the first day of admission. Her tall and curvaceous figure, beautiful and exquisite face, as well as the manners and aura of being a dignified young lady, made her famous quickly and she captured the hearts of countless men.

She seemed to have a special charm. As long as any man saw her, they would have feelings for her, and slowly fall in love with her.

“Hmph, fox spirit. The women of the Aoki family are all dirty prostitutes.” Sakurai Yukinako appeared out of the blue.

“Hmm, why are you here? You said you would never see me again,” Li Xianyu asked curiously.

“You’re talking as if we are a couple who are in the midst of a quarrel.” She frowned. “I’m just looking at the list of the top 16 and the top eight.”

Sakurai Yukinako and Li Xianyu had a small fall-out, due to the appearance of Aoki Yui. Li Xianyu was really attracted to her unique charm, like how most of the men were attracted to her.

Sakurai Yukinako saw her natural enemy being coquettish and was angered. She commented huffily, “They are a third-rate family who had their rise using prostitution but act as if they are sacred mikos.”

Li Xianyu did not agree with her and replied, “She’s beautiful, charming, and also polite. In comparison, you resemble an unruly young lady from a small family.”

This sentence had offended Sakurai Yukinako as she declared in fury, “I will kill you sooner or later and I will no longer invite you to eat expensive watermelon.”

She really did not show up for two days. Today was the battle for the top 18 and she actually came over. Sure enough, if one said they wouldn’t do it, they would eventually do it. Wang Jingze, the person who said this was a good philosopher, he would certainly go down in history and leave his mark there.

Li Xianyu barely made it to the top 18. Although he couldn’t compete with the top young men, such as Jie Se and Eric, his own abilities were not that bad. He was at the top of a middle-level staff, and could be considered as a master in the demon descendants community.

The Li family descendant seem to have wilted…

There were a lot of people who were concerned about Li Xianyu, especially in his initial battle. The earth-shaking roar had caused many people to think he was the dark horse for the championship.

Later, foreigners such as Eric, Miyamoto Hideki, Aoki Yui were too outstanding and provided eye-opening battles. In comparison, Li Xianyu’s performance was mediocre, so the audiences’ focus gradually shifted to others.

The reason why Li Xianyu could make it to the top 16 was embarrassing. His opponent was Victoria. He didn’t think Victoria was a tough woman. Her iron-and-steel prowess in hardening her body was an invincible defense.

He and Victoria clashed for half an hour, with Victoria voluntarily conceding defeat. The ring at their feet was strewn with potholes, and they were all trampled out by Victoria.

Li Xianyu didn’t expect Victoria to be so strong, until he remembered the information about her when he first met her.

She was the goddess of war of the Association of Superpowered Beings.

Victoria offered to lose, and it was clear that she left the chance to promote to top 16 to Li Xianyu. That was because, after the fight, Li Xianyu was almost at his limit, but Victoria still looked calm and composed.

The blonde beauty confessed that she’s here to play and doesn’t care about rankings.

The last round of the top 18 was the battle between Miyamoto Hideki and Ling Yunzi of Wudang.

Ling Yunzi was the top disciple of Wudang’s sect leader. He was 30 years old, and ranked eighth in the youth demon descendants list, and ranked 88th in the demon descendants list.

Excluding Jie Se, Dan Chenzi, and Li Peiyun who were top youth masters, Ling Yunzi was one of the most powerful youths.

“Let’s sit down and wait for Ling Yunzi to wreck Miyamoto Hideki,” the audience commented.

“What the hell, we finally see a master coming to handle that Japanese. It’s so infuriating these days to see him being so arrogant every day.”

“Miyamoto Hideki is probably thinking, ‘I’m in a panic now.’”

“The Japanese’s luck is too good. After a few rounds, he did not truly meet a master of our demon descendants community.”

“Every time I see him win someone, he says, ‘The chinese young experts are weak,’ I want to jump into the ring and kill him.”

Viewers were extremely happy to see this. Miyamoto Hideki finally met a capable figure. Although they were both from Japan, Aoki Yui was very popular but everyone hated Miyamoto Hideki.

In terms of getting people to hate them, Miyamoto Hideki was on par with San Wu. He was arrogant and proud and did not hide his contempt for the Chinese demon descendants.

Ling Yunzi was a handsome-looking man. He had a calm temperament, and a nonchalance of a monk. He wielded a sword in his hand.

Wudang was a fighter amongst the Taoist clans, and did not place a huge emphasis in Taoist incantations and talismans. They also did not cultivate neidan, and were unique in their approach in martial arts and qi training.

The combat power of the Wudang disciples were better than that of the other Taoist factions.

The bald referee shouted amongst the commotion, “Start!”

“I have experience with the Japanese Iai sword technique.” Ling Yunzi held the sword in his hand horizontally and maintained a confrontation with Miyamoto Hideki.

“That’s not my Iai sword technique.” Miyamoto Hideki’s face was full of conceit.

“It’s just a quicker sword,” Ling Yunzi commented.

“In the world of Kungfu, speed defines the winner…” Miyamoto Hideki responded, “You Chinese were the ones who said that.”

The two men circled slowly and confronted each other. Miyamoto Hideki put his hand on the sword handle, and he no longer used a shinai, and used a tachi instead.

No one was in a hurry and the two parties showed great patience. Miyamoto Hideki was looking for an opportunity to strike, while Ling Yunzi was waiting for him to strike.

The two circled each other for a quarter of an hour. The more they didn’t start, the more nervous the audience was. In a good fight between masters, victory or defeat was in an instant.

Finally, Miyamoto Hideki moved. No one saw how he pulled the sword, only to see a clear flash of a sword, and then the sonorous sound of the tachi being unsheathed rang.

A light taichi diagram flashed in Ling Yunzi’s sword, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was forcibly erased by something.

Clang!

Half of a Taoist sword fell to the ground.

A thin and deep wound appeared on Ling Yunzi’s neck and crimson blood gushed out.

He covered the wound, both helpless and indignant. He intended to use his Taichi sword technique that he was skilled at to resist Miyamoto Hideki’s domineering sword slash. The idea was right, but his sword technique was a lot weaker than Miyamoto Hideki’s.

“If my angle was a few centimeters up, you would have been beheaded. So thank me for not killing you.” Miyamoto Hideki sheathed his sword back with a cold expression.

“Sure enough, you are still too weak after all. I hear you’re the best after Jie Se and Dan Chenzi. But all I need is one move to kill you.”

The referee declared, “The winner is Miyamoto Hideki.”

“How did this happen, even Ling Yunzi couldn’t beat him?”

“Is this man invincible? One move, it’s still one move.”

“I’m starting to worry if Jie Se and Dan Chenzi can resist one move from him.”

“Who can come defeat him? Someone deal with him.”

“I feel so indignant, I feel like we are always defeated by foreigners.”

“Can Li Xianyu do it? Can he beat Miyamoto Hideki?”

“Forget it. He fought a few battles but was mediocre. He wasn’t outstanding. I don’t believe he can defeat Miyamoto Hideki.”

The audience could not accept the outcome and were disappointed and irritated. There was a roar of commotion.

The referee announced loudly, “The list of the top eighteen is as follows: Jie Se, Dan Chenzi, Eric, Miyamoto Hideki, Aoki Yui, Li Xianyu…”

The names of the contestants on the list of the top 18 flashed on the big screen.

A few minutes later, the referee added, “Now the battle schedule for tomorrow’s final eight…”

The names of eight groups of contestants flashed on the big screen:

“Aoki Yui VS Jared Ang”

“Dan Chenzi VS Elsie Scott”

…

“Eric Brown VS Liu Chen”

“Li Xianyu VS Miyamoto Hideki”

Li Xianuy was speechless. Shit, I feel like I can’t get into the top 16, Li Xianyu thought.
