Chapter 302: Methods Emerge! Simply a Genius
The moment the countdown ended.
Swoosh!!
Ichikawa Ichiro, with a proud and disdainful expression, suddenly retreated sharply!
"He really chose to distance himself..."
Seeing Ichikawa Ichiro's retreat, the various national contestants watching the battlefield intently showed no surprise.
All the contestants present had experienced that unforgettable banquet.
This non-specialist's physical strength had already far exceeded their understanding.
If this non-specialist got close, then fragile classes would only face defeat!
Roar!!
While retreating.
To avoid failing unexpectedly, Ichikawa Ichiro even summoned his contracted spirit beast in advance!
This was a spirit beast covered in dazzling lightning!
Thunder Giant Python!!
It was ranked 21st on the Spirit Beast List!
Due to the rarity and pride of divine beasts, very few contestants present had divine beast contracts.
As a result, spirit beasts became the contract target for most contestants.
But even though they were just spirit beasts, contracting with them was not easy.
Although spirit beasts were not as noble and powerful as divine beasts and could not transform into human form.
They still possessed intelligence no less than humans, and the top-ranked spirit beasts could even communicate verbally with their masters.
They could also learn human knowledge.
So the moment this Thunder Giant Python appeared, it caused a fierce roar among the hundreds of thousands of spectators!
As soon as the Thunder Giant Python appeared, it immediately stood in front of its master to prevent the non-specialist from closing in.
At this moment, Ichikawa Ichiro had already drawn a katana covered in golden patterns!
He named this katana 'Little Thunder Grant'.
Of course...
This was completely his own narcissistic naming.
The real Thunder Grant was a genuine holy weapon!
Held by the captain of the Ghost Slayer Squad.
The katana in his hand, with golden patterns, was a replica made based on Thunder Grant.
This showed that Ichikawa Ichiro was highly regarded and recognized by the higher-ups in the Ghost Slayer Squad.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted such a precious 'curse tool' to Ichikawa Ichiro.
Buzz!!
When he drew Little Thunder Grant, his body was instantly enveloped in golden lightning!
A large Yin-Yang array quickly formed beneath his feet!
Moreover.
As the Yin-Yang array formed, two black holes appeared behind him.
Subsequently, a black and a white giant tiger sprang out of the black holes!
Shikigami • Yin-Yang Twin Tigers!
A-level skill of the Onmyoji class!
"Such fast curse casting!"
"He completed all this in less than three seconds! Ichikawa Ichiro is indeed formidable!"
"Hmm!? It seems there's more to it!"
Indeed, there's more!
Everyone was extremely shocked to see Ichikawa Ichiro insert his hands into his sleeves!
Swish!!
Then he took out two thick stacks of shikigami talisman papers from his Onmyoji robe sleeves!
Next, he threw these shikigami talismans abruptly!
Buzz buzz!!
One after another, dog spirit shikigami were summoned, appearing to guard around Ichikawa Ichiro.
Dozens...
No!
Hundreds!!
Ichikawa Ichiro actually summoned hundreds of B-level dog spirit shikigami at once!!
But the most outrageous part was yet to come!!
This level 62 Onmyoji seemed to be showcasing his extraordinary strength to everyone.
Or maybe he really wanted to win honor for his country.
After summoning hundreds of dog spirit shikigami, he pinched a black-patterned curse talisman with his right hand!
"Ah!!"
"Isn't this the curse talisman used by the Ghost Slayer Squad to seal the Hundred Ghost Clan?"
"This is just the first match! Is he really revealing all his trump cards?"
"This curse talisman must have sealed a member of the Hundred Ghost Clan, right?"
"Damn! He's even using this to prepare for battle!"
"..."
Ichikawa Ichiro's full effort instantly shocked all the spectators present.
Even the contestants from various countries and the high-level deans in the VIP viewing seats were a bit stunned.
However...
It's understandable!
There's no double-elimination format in this match.
To successfully advance to the top 16 in each group, you must win every match to the end!
The two who win continuously until the end directly qualify.
So it's normal for Ichikawa Ichiro to go all out against this physically overwhelming non-specialist!
Right now.
Fortunately, the arena provided large enough floating platforms for the contestants.
Otherwise, it wouldn't fit this special army of hundreds of shikigami.
From start to finish, it took Ichikawa Ichiro less than five seconds to deploy these methods.
But...
Hmm!?
When he looked up at the opposite side.
He found that the non-specialist was still standing expressionlessly in place!!
This non-specialist hadn't even taken out a weapon!!
"Damn it!!"
At this moment.
Ichikawa Ichiro's facial features twisted sharply!
An extreme anger surged within him, feeling inexplicably humiliated!
Especially when meeting the calm and deep eyes of the opponent, his anger burned even stronger!!
Contempt!!
This non-specialist was blatantly looking down on him!!
He had prepared with all his might, but his opponent had done nothing from start to finish!
What else could it be but contempt?
It was as if this Onmyoji was being treated like an ant!!
"Kill!!"
Unable to contain his rage, he immediately ordered his spirit beast and hundreds of dog spirit shikigami to attack the non-specialist!
Even the two Yin-Yang Twin Tigers charged out, roaring to slay the non-specialist!
All the spectators, including the contestants and everyone in the VIP seats, were now focused on this shikigami army and the non-specialist!
How would this non-specialist respond to this army-like assault of shikigami?
The official commentators were also passionately explaining Ichikawa Ichiro's skills to the ordinary spectators.
Three hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
Seeing the shikigami army, seemingly capable of crushing everything, getting closer and closer to the non-specialist.
Everyone was horrified to find that the non-specialist...
Still hadn't made any move!!
What was he doing!?
Did he really want to die that much?
No matter how strong his physical power was, facing such a powerful shikigami army, along with a spirit beast, this charge...
Wouldn't he be crushed into meat patties instantly?
Ten meters!!
In the midst of everyone's horror.
This massive shikigami army finally reached Ling Zhan!
The sharp fangs of the Thunder Giant Python were only half a meter away from Ling Zhan!
Danger!!
But at this moment!!
Unexpectedly, but also inevitably, something finally happened!!
Bang!
An explosion sounded.
Immediately after.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!
Like dominoes, a series of intense chain reactions occurred!
Hmm!?
Then everyone was dumbfounded to see that all the shikigami, initially in a state of assault, vanished collectively after the explosions!
They reverted back to shikigami talisman papers!
Even the two most ferocious Yin-Yang Twin Tigers instantly dissipated, returning to the void.
As for the Thunder Giant Python, whose fangs were already in front of Ling Zhan...
It was now frozen, not daring to move an inch!
This!?
What was going on!?
All the spectators were bewildered by the strange scene before them, utterly confused!
Only those in the highest-level VIP seats were filled with admiration and amazement!
One of the top-level assassins, a hundred-level, four-tier expert, even stood up from his seat.
His eyes burning as he stared at the arena that had silenced all the spectators, murmuring continuously:
"Genius!"
"This kid is simply an assassination genius!"
"It's a pity this kid didn't join me!"
