Chapter 392: Chapter 305 Registering for the Competition_1
In the end, the victor who paired with Duanmu Huai in the Fighting God Tournant was —— Honoka.
Well, this result was quite surprising to Duanmu Huai. After hearing Honoka’s recount of the events, Duanmu Huai finally understood what happened —— it turned out that right from the start of the duel, Ogis and Kula had engaged each other. Initially, Ogis did indeed have the upper hand, but Kula wasn’t an ignorant child. Although she ultimately lost, she fiercely disrupted Ogis’s Puppet Army and even froze her silk threads, completely obstructing Ogis’s combat ability.
Under these circumstances, any normal Martial Artist could take out Ogis.
“………..”
In other words, Kula, although she seems a bit slow, has a sly side. This must have been her seeking an opportunity for revenge after her last defeat. Since she couldn’t win, she decided to not let Ogis win either… Well, it seed that her own puppet lost due to the treachery of human nature.
She couldn’t help it then.
Duanmu Huai was sowhat rendered speechless by the relationship between the two. He could understand their motivations. In Kula’s view, Ogis was an unknown stranger who had suddenly appeared on her own territory, showing hostility towards her, she of course wouldn’t show a friendly face. While from Ogis’s perspective, she was always the one who had been on Duanmu Huai’s side. Suddenly, a cat sneaked into her territory. She naturally had to show her so color.
Although it wasn’t nice to say, Duanmu Huai was quite happy to see this happen, as it suggested that Ogis was gradually beginning to develop human feelings.
As for these two causing harm to each other… let them be, Duanmu Huai couldn’t interfere. He hadn’t had much interaction with girls in the past, and feels powerless regarding such matters.
If all else fails, just let Lorena deal with it as her punishnt for deserting in the face of battle.
So, leaving the staring match between Ogis and Kula at ho, Duanmu Huai took Honoka to the registration location for the Fighting God Tournant —— the address was written right under the rules.
“Is this the place?”
Looking at the dark subway station entrance in front of her, Honoka swallowed and asked nervously. Duanmu Huai took out the rules and looked at the address below.
“That’s what it says on the address.”
“Will they let us sign up?”
“If they don’t, we will just force our way in.”
Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and scoffed, As a Judge, he’s done similar jobs too many tis. The Cult of Chaos always caused trouble. Sotis, when Duanmu Huai got impatient, he would just use the “Hitting your head with a small hamr” tactic, making a chaotic situation direct and simple.
So, he was quite experienced with this process.
“Ahahaha…”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Honoka laughed bitterly. Duanmu Huai then folded up the rule sheet and strode towards the station below.
It was an abandoned subway platform. The farther down they got, the darker it beca. When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the platform, they found it almost completely sealed off by iron plates, with only a small iron door. Duanmu Huai walked up, knocked on the door, and soon a pair of small eyes appeared at a small window in the door.
“Who are you? What do you want?”
“We heard that the Fighting God Tournant is held here, we want to register.”
Duanmu Huai stated, and hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, the person inside was silent for a mont.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Then the small window closed again, and everything was silent.
“Huh? Huh? What’s going on!!”
Seeing this, Honoka was imdiately alard. She hadn’t expected that the other party would just refuse without a word.
“There’s probably so secret code, this kind of competition is obviously also to prevent so people with ulterior motives from joining.”
Like them.
“What should we do then?”
“What kind of question is that?”
Upon hearing Honoka’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai chuckled.
“Since Plan A failed, then let’s go with Plan B.”
“Plan B?? Do we have a Plan B, Mr. Duanmu?”
“Of course, that is… breaking in! Kill anyone we co across!”
With Duanmu Huai’s roar, he threw out his right fist, directly punching the iron door in front of him.
“Boom !!”
The next mont, the iron doors sealing the entire station instantly exploded and flew backwards, and Duanmu Huai strode straight into the breach. At this point inside, several rough-looking n in black uniforms looked surprised at Duanmu Huai’s sudden appearance.
“Who are you?”
“Too complicated to explain, just get your boss over here!”
Duanmu Huai didn’t bother ssing with these henchn and roared, storming in like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
Though these n looked fierce, they were no match for Duanmu Huai. In the blink of an eye, all the unfortunate guys were knocked down to the ground by Duanmu Huai.
Honoka was completely shocked by Duanmu Huai’s ruthless decisiveness and dared not move at all. Just then, a long staff suddenly popped out of the dark shadows, aiming at Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai lifted his hand and blocked this unexpected attack.
“Hey hey hey, what’s the aning of this? Brother? Are you here to cause trouble?”
Accompanied by a frivolous voice, a man wearing a leather jacket and a turban erged from the shadows. He stared at Duanmu Huai with a smile and asked.
“I ca here to compete in the Fighting God Tournant, but these guys aren’t letting inside.”
Looking at the man before him, Duanmu Huai squinted his eyes slightly and replied.
“Oh? You want to participate in the Fighting God Tournant?”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s reply, the man snorted softly.
“This could be interesting, then let’s… see if you have the ability to!”
As the words fell, the man’s staff abruptly split into three parts, forming a three-section staff that swiftly knocked the weapon out of Duanmu Huai’s hand. Then, the man swiftly waved his hands and reassembled it into a long staff and aid it directly at Duanmu Huai’s face.
“Tricks like these are pointless!!”
Unfazed by the turbaned man’s attack, Duanmu Huai stepped forward, clenched his fist, and struck at the very staff that the man held. Following a deafening “bang”, the turbaned man’s staff that was swung towards Duanmu Huai shattered instantly, the tremors even rattled the man, shaking him up and making him stagger backwards.
“…… very good.”
Seeing the shattered staff in his hands, the turbaned man’s expression turned gloomy.
“You have guts, kid, then… how about… ”
“Alright, cut it out, Billy.”
Right in that mont, a voice echoed, interrupting the duel. As Duanmu Huai turned, he spotted a blonde man in a black suit standing not far away, coldly regarding them.
“Sir! But… ”
“This is my order.”
The blond suited man waved his hand, silencing the turbaned man. He then turned his gaze back to Duanmu Huai. At the sight of Duanmu Huai’s face, his expression subtly changed, but just as quickly reverted back to its original state.
“I don’t know where you got the ssage about the Fighting God Tournant, but registration has ended and the contest is about to begin. If you want to compete, wait until next ti.”
“What if I don’t want to wait?”
Staring at the blond man in a suit, Duanmu Huai crossed his arms, his gaze icy.
“Oh? So, what do you propose?”
“Simple, to find out the location of the competition from you and fight my way in… ”
Saying this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist.
“When it cos to a fighting tournant, isn’t it just about who packs a harder punch? If I take down everyone who dares to stand in my way, wouldn’t I end up being the champion in the end?”
“………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Honoka was left dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. The blond man, on the other hand, punctuated the silence with a hearty laugh.
“Hahaha, interesting, kid, you really amuse … But I must remind you, this is not so amateur duelling competition. To win, you need to kill your opponents, do you understand? It’s brutal, not a light-hearted duel, but a deadly battle. Would you still like to participate, knowing this?”
“Uh?”
Upon hearing this, Honoka was stunned.
“Wait, but the rules clearly state that as long as the opponent is defeated, or they surrender… ”
“Yes, as long as the opponent is defeated, or they surrender, it will be considered a victory.”
The blond man grinned, revealing a vicious smile.
“But, do you really think it would be that easy? This is the Fighting God Tournant. Failure ans death, no chance of survival. If the contestants refuse to kill their opponents, then the defeated will be publicly executed! Either way, the defeated are dood!”
“How can this be… ”
Hearing this, Honoka turned pale. Such cruel rules were hard to fathom for her. However, for Duanmu Huai, such things seed all too familiar.
“I see. So, am I allowed to participate? Or should I fight my way in?”
“Mr. Duanmu…”
At this mont, Honoka gazed at Duanmu Huai with grateful eyes. She couldn’t believe that Duanmu Huai was willing to risk his life for Mary. Even if Honoka failed, the worst would be her becoming soone’s slave. However, Duanmu Huai did not have this option. According to the blond man, failing ant being killed on the duelling field, or public execution.
Despite all this, he still chose to fight…
At the thought of what was going through Honoka’s mind, Duanmu Huai would break out in cold sweat. While the treatnt might seem harsh and cruel to Honoka, battles like these were daily occurrences for Duanmu Huai, whose life outside the duelling city was filled with such violence.
In fact, in the territories of the Brutal God or the God of Lust, such competitions would only be more bloody and horrendous. Compared to those, this was barely a drizzle, a light play.
“Great.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, the blond suited man nodded.
“Co with then. I hope you guys won’t disappoint .”
