Unknowingly, the sky had begun to brighten. Sunlight poured down from the horizon, illuminating the vast blue ocean and perfectly showcasing the shimmering waves, creating a remarkably pleasant scene.
In the sky, the speed of the enormous strategic bomber seemed to be slowing down, and it eventually descended slowly over a remote island, coming to a stop above a sandy beach.
As the aircraft landed on the beach, a cloud of swirling sand was kicked up, and the massive bomber settled onto the sand like a giant lift, aided by the gusty winds.
Normally, such a large strategic aircraft would not be able to land without a dedicated runway. The fact that it could land on the beach like this was likely due to Sarah's extraordinary ability.
Soon, the bomber's cabin opened.
Fang Li was the first to step out, standing on the expansive aircraft body, and looked out at the remote island before him.
It seemed to be an uninhabited island.
The uninhabited island was not very large, but compared to Academy Island, it was relatively comparable.
The island had no buildings; it was covered with dense vegetation and rocky mountains. However, flocks of birds were seen flying around among the trees, giving it a lively appearance.
"Could this be where the Oni reside?"
Fang Li's self-talk was met with a response.
"Not at all."
Yan and Tsubaki emerged from the cabin and approached Fang Li.
Sarah followed behind them, though she looked disheveled and exhausted as if she had been through a severe ordeal. Her eyes were dull and gray.
Yan answered Fang Li's question.
"The place where we Oni reside is elsewhere." Yan said grandly, "This is only a temporary stronghold used by the Grenada (servant) people because it's relatively close to your artificial island. Currently, it is used by both us Oni and another force belonging to Grenada (servant)."
"Another force?" Fang Li asked, looking at Yan. "In other words, aside from you Oni, there is also a force belonging to Grenada (servant) on this island?"
"Precisely." Yan did not hide anything and said frankly, "Like Habi Sama, this force also has a high regard for you. They even proposed a fair competition and ended up joining us Oni here, which is quite displeasing."
From Yan's tone, it was evident that this grand and fierce Oni Warrior was indeed displeased with the other force.
Even Tsubaki looked disdainful, coldly snorting and saying, "They talk about fair competition, but when we were preparing to pick you up, not a single person from their side was willing to come. It's clear they planned to ride on our free ride. Humans are so cunning."
In response to Tsubaki's comment, Yan spoke in contrast.
"No, while humans are cunning, that person's level of cunning surpasses even that. You could say they are the most cunning among humans." Yan said with some displeasure, "After all, that person's ancestors were said to be exceptionally adept at strategy, even known as God Arc for their foresight, making them the type who doesn't get along with us Oni."
Both Yan and Tsubaki displayed their dissatisfaction with the people from this force.
As Yan said, if the other party was a master of strategy and extremely cunning, it would indeed be a natural mismatch with the straightforward and forceful Oni.
"Of course, this person's strength is also very outstanding."
As Yan spoke, her expression showed some relief, and she turned his gaze to Sarah, saying:
"It's said that among your I-U, this person is comparable to Sherlock Holmes, isn't that right?"
At these words, Fang Li's eyes flickered slightly.
"Someone in I-U who can be compared to Sherlock?"
If that were the case, Fang Li might know who that person was.
In I-U, only a handful of individuals are considered comparable to Sherlock Holmes.
Vlad, who is considered No. 2 in I-U, is one of them.
In terms of combat power, Vlad with his blood-sucking transformation is not much different from Sherlock. However, Sherlock possesses a rule-breaking reasoning ability. His fighting style is not solely reliant on brute force but involves a perfect application of his intellect in combat. Combined with Hidan's formidable ability, this is what keeps Vlad in check.
Hilda can also be considered one.
However, Hilda needs to harness the power of nature's lightning and achieve her third form to surpass Sherlock. Even then, facing Sherlock's rule-breaking intellect might still result in a reversal.
Sherlock's combat ability is impressive, but he is not invincible in I-U.
What is truly fearsome is Sherlock's intellect.
His ability to analyze situations perfectly, utilize the most efficient combat styles, and coordinate with numerous super abilities showcases a level of strength that even made Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception nearly ineffective.
Therefore, to be genuinely comparable to Sherlock, one would need not only exceptional combat power but also superior intellect.
In I-U, only one person meets these criteria.
"Is that person on this island?"
Fang Li's expression turned serious.
This suggested that the upcoming confrontation might not be a straightforward battle but a clash of wits.
And against that person, Fang Li could not confidently claim to be smarter.
One misstep and he could easily fall into the opponent's trap.
However, Fang Li had guessed wrong this time.
What he would face next was not a battle of wits but a real fight.
"Actually, I don't like that person either."
A voice suddenly resonated, reaching everyone's ears.
Shortly afterward, an extremely strong presence, akin to a towering mountain, emerged.
"————!"
The expressions of Yan, Tsubaki, and Sarah froze simultaneously.
Fang Li's eyes also narrowed as he turned around and looked toward a tall tree not far away.
There, a small figure appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
This figure was:
- Wearing revealing clothing.
- With flowing black hair.
- Bearing a smiling face.
- Sporting a tail.
It looked just like a little monkey.
Seeing this person, Yan's expressions and those of her group changed.
"Kou?!"
Yan exclaimed, her eyes widening, and she shouted angrily.
"No, you're Sun Wukong?!"
As soon as Yan's words were out, the petite figure with a monkey-like appearance and a tail laughed loudly.
"That's right! I am the Monkey King— Sun Wukong!"
