Gradually, all the cheers began to synchronize and become one voice.
"Xue Jing—Xue Jing—Xue Jing!!"
Fireworks exploded and golden ribbons sprayed out from various mechanisms. The entire super arena was filled with golden rain, which complemented the falling silver cherry blossoms.
Countless video cameras and camera cameras were pointed at Xue Jing, with flashes emitting continuously, as if they wanted to capture this young man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere in their own cameras.
The contestants in the viewing area were also clapping and looking amazed.
Xue Jing looked around; all the flowers and applause were for him alone.
He originally thought that he would win the championship easily and would not feel much, but when the moment came, he still felt excited.
It was rare that he no longer maintained his aloof look as if he was only interested in playing the game and not caring about anything else. Instead, he raised his hand and waved to the audience in all directions.
Wherever he waved, the audience there would burst into even louder applause and cheers.
After waving to the audience in all directions, Xue Jing looked at Otogi Suzuka who was still lying powerlessly on the ground.
He sighed slightly, stretched out his hand, and smiled helplessly: "How is it, can you still move?"
Yuuga Suzuka smiled, raised her hand and held it with Xue Jing, and he pulled her up with force.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue."
This post-match scene of friendship first won applause from countless spectators.
After Ouga Suzuka stood up, she seemed to be seriously injured and too weak. She suddenly staggered and fell forward...
She just fell into Xue Jing's arms, buried her head in his neck, and her blood-stained lips left a strawberry mark on his collarbone.
"Well… "
The audience suddenly dropped their applause and were stunned.
Xue Jing's whole body froze, having suffered the most serious injury since the start of the U19 tournament.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at Ouga Suzuka.
The latter's pretty face was full of innocence.
As if to say, I really didn't mean it...
…
(In case there are still readers who misunderstand, here is a spoiler in advance: the author cannot be a lesbian, Otogi Suzuka is a woman.)
Chapter 269: The unsharpened blade is in hand, and the victim comes to you
"Kiss... kiss?"
"Oh my god, is this true? Could this be intentional?"
"This guy must have done it on purpose! He is a martial artist of such a high level, how could he make such a low-level mistake by falling on the ground!"
"It's so funny that Demon King Xue's face turned green... As expected of Otogi Suzuka, she easily accomplished what Zhou Yinglin could never do in his lifetime."
"Damn it, although the pre-match interview showed that this guy had ill intentions towards Xue Jing, he was quite normal during the fight just now. I ignored this for a moment and didn't expect him to be waiting here!"
"Being good-looking is a curse, even men will stare at him... But as for Otogi Suzuka, even though I'm a straight-laced person, I really think it's okay."
"This person looks very flirty at first glance... Is she really not a woman dressed as a man?"
“Ahhh!! A cold and abstinent shou and a yandere and teasing gong, and both of them are so good-looking, can I really eat so well?”
“Oh my god, can I see this without spending any money?”
The audience was stunned.
In the contestant viewing area, Yin Muhu was stunned for a long moment, then reached out and patted the shoulder of Wei Junwu who was standing next to her.
"You are right..."
Wei Junwu scratched his head.
Although before the game he did say shamelessly that winning or losing this game was not the key, but that something exciting might happen... but he didn't expect it to actually happen.
He turned and looked at Song Nanxing beside him.
"Old Song, what do you think?"
Song Nanxing's eyes twitched, "... Don't ask me, I don't know anything and I don't want to say anything."
Wei Junwu touched his chin:
"Mika Suzuka's appearance is really too terrifying. Old Xue has suffered such a thing... Could it be that the door to a new world has been opened to him?"
On the ring.
Xue Jing reached out and wiped his collarbone.
He looked down at the scarlet lip print on his palm and felt like the sky was falling and his spiritual heart was on the verge of collapse.
The hand holding the knife was shaking slightly.
Fuck... I was kissed by a man.
No, there is still a chance.
The corner of Xue Jing's mouth twitched and he looked at Otogi Suzuka who was standing next to him.
For some reason, unlike her previous calm look of chuckling and teasing, Otogi Suzuka now looked a little uneasy and a little shy. When she saw Xue Jing looking at her, she avoided his sight, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking like a girl who had done something shy.
Seeing this scene, Xue Jing's eyelids twitched.
Not buddy.
You're not serious, are you
"Lu-san."
Xue Jing spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.
"Tell me that you are actually a woman, but you are somehow disguising yourself as a man, so you are really a woman."
Upon hearing this, Okagami Suzuka showed apology on her charming face and said softly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xue."
Hearing this apology, Xue Jing sighed and covered his forehead with his palm.
After a while, he put his hand down, his expression returned to normal, and said:
"Okay, that's it then. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Xue Jing turned around and prepared to leave.
But then, Ouga Suzuka reached out and grabbed his arm, whispering:
"Wait a minute, Xue Jun, you won the championship, and there is still the trophy ceremony and post-match speeches to attend. You can't leave for now."
Xue Jing calmly turned his strength and shook off the hand of Yuuga Suzuka that was holding his arm.
Seeing this, Otogi Suzuka was stunned, a hint of disappointment first appeared on her face, but she quickly restrained it and smiled:
"Don't be so scared. I won't do anything to you again, Xue Jun. It was just an accident."
"I'm leaving now... From now on, all the glory will belong to you alone."
After saying this, Mika Suzuka chuckled, turned around, and walked towards the contestant passage in her direction with her usual elegance.
Xue Jing looked at his back, frowned slightly, and inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
But before he had time to think about it, a host in a suit and tie with a microphone in his hand had already walked onto the stage, followed by several staff members. Together they were carrying a black platform with a golden trophy on it.
Because the arena was badly damaged in the battle between Xue Jing and Myouga Suzuka, the ground was uneven and the host accidentally stumbled when he walked over, luckily he did not fall.
He walked to Xue Jing's side, raised the microphone, and said loudly with a smile:
"We hereby announce that the winner of the 37th U19 Unlimited Elite Fighting Tournament is Xue Jing!"
"Please hold the trophy, contestant Xue Jing!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing reached out and raised the golden trophy in front of him.
The trophy is engraved with several slender and exquisite dragons, which are competing for the dragon ball on the top in different postures. The base is made of black crystal-like material, which is slightly transparent. Many places are engraved with people's names, which are the names of all the U19 champions.
From now on, Xue Jing's name will be engraved on it forever.
He held the trophy high, and there was immediate and lasting applause from the audience.
Everyone was looking at the high-spirited young man on the ring.
"My debut is my peak... I won the U19 championship in my first competition. How far can I go in the future?"
"It's just U19. What's the peak of this? 'True Dragon' Wan Yulai just debuted not long ago. He is less than 25 years old, right? He has swept all the 'Minor Title Tournaments' and got the ticket to the Seven Major Title Tournaments. Demon King Xue still has a long way to go."
"Xue Jing is only seventeen. He may not lose to Wan Yulai when they are the same age."
"If we consider the age of seventeen, Wan Yulai may not be able to defeat Demon King Xue. The fighting power he has shown so far is too exaggerated... But when he is twenty-five, it is not certain. I don't believe it, but Wan Yulai is a fucking late-stage hero. The older he gets, the faster he improves. Do you dare to believe it?"
"The overall level of martial artists is improving every year. The competition is fierce. Those who can win titles in succession in this era and rush towards 'eternity' are terrifying. I would believe it if they said they had a system on them... Demon King Xue is powerful, but he still has a long way to go to compete with these people, or even never."
"Why think so much? Anyway, there will be another top-notch talent worth keeping an eye on from now on. I can watch all the games he participates in. It's so cool!"
On the ring.
The host smiled and said:
"We all know that this is your first time participating in a martial arts competition, Xue Jing, but you have won your first championship. What do you think now?"
As he spoke, he handed the microphone to Xue Jing.
Xue Jing placed the trophy on the stage, reached out to take the microphone, thought for a moment, and slowly spoke:
"I can become a martial artist and stand on this podium. The first person I want to thank is my master, Li Qi, who led me into this world..."
…
By the time Xue Jing finished his speech, received the trophy and prize money, and returned to the contestants' lounge amid the cheers and applause of the audience, more than half an hour had passed.
"Xiao Jing!!"
As soon as she came in, Jiang Siwei rushed up excitedly and hugged Xue Jing tightly. Her slender legs in black stockings and high heels kept jumping, venting her excitement.
"You are awesome, you are really awesome, you won the championship!!"
Jiang Siwei was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.
Xue Jing smiled and hugged her, then patted her on the back and said:
"Sister Wei, don't be so excited, this is just the beginning."
Jiang Siwei let go of Xue Jing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed with a smile:
"Yeah, this is just the beginning..."
Xue Jing's eyes suddenly moved, and he noticed that there was something new in the lounge that was not there before.
He turned his head and saw a beautiful long sword that looked very old hanging on a hook on the wall in the corner of the lounge.
The gray-brown handle and scabbard are full of traces of fading and oxidation, exuding a heavy sense of history. It looks quite familiar. It is the [GOD-519 Unsharpened Blade] in Migame Suzuka's hand.
"Sister Wei, did Otogi Suzuka come here just now?"
Xue Jing walked to the wall and took the old long knife off the hook.
It was hung from the scabbard by the twine.
[Divine matter detected, absorbing divinity... ]
"No, I've been staying in the lounge the whole time, and no one has come."
Jiang Siwei shook her head and asked in confusion when she saw Xue Jing taking down the unsharpened blade:
"Eh? This knife... was it originally placed in this room? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Xue Jing did not answer, but pulled the long sword out of the sheath with a click, revealing a small section of bright silver blade.
Unlike the handle and scabbard, the blade showed no signs of aging. It was as smooth as a mirror without a single flaw, and easily reflected Xue Jing's face.
It looked like a masterpiece that had just been forged by a master craftsman, and the entire blade looked very "new".
"The unsharpened blade..."
