Chapter 369 (1/2)

”Next up! Katsura Hinagiku vs Vis.h.i.+!”
Everyone looked at Hinagiku.
Hinagiku flinched while laughing.
”Oh dear, my opponent is a top 10 ranker…”
Mikoto asked Hinagiku who is still laughing.
”Hinagiku, you going to be alright?”
Hinagiku smiled.
”Of course!”
If at all possible, Wu Yan didn't want to see Hinagiku fight this round. He even wanted her to give up the fight.
It's not because Wu Yan didn't believe Hinagiku, Hinagiku's ability is something Wu Yan knows. Her level cannot beat Vis.h.i.+ but in terms of real strength, there's a chance she might come out on top.
It won't be easy for her to win. Wu Yan thought that she can't get out of this battle without getting hurt. He liked the thought of her winning without a scratch but it's hard for him to imagine that in the most optimistic of scenarios.
Wu Yan just didn't want to see Hinagiku hurt.
Hinagiku looked at Wu Yan as if she could read his mind, her eyes were telling him that her resolve has been made up.
She is telling him that she's going up that stage no matter what Wu Yan says.
Wu Yan bitterly laughed as he told her in a warm voice.
”Don't force yourself too much…”
Hinagiku had met Vis.h.i.+ once when she just entered Silvaria World Inst.i.tute, he brought along his Crimson Land members to recruit Wu Yan & co at their villa.
After seeing Wu Yan's performance at the arena tower, Vis.h.i.+ threw the recruitment idea right out the window. Now, their second meeting would be in the arena of this tournament.
Vis.h.i.+ looked at Hinagiku and he shrugged.
”Hey, can you surrender? I don't want to fight you…”
Hinagiku silently took out the crystal sword she had. Her answer is pretty obvious.
Vis.h.i.+'s shoulder fell.
”Alright, I understand…”
A torrent of dou qi poured forth. The amount is so great that the air around the arena stirred. What's weird is that when the aura a.s.saulted Hinagiku, her skirt didn't move at all as if it defied physics.
Vis.h.i.+'s burning dou qi made him look like a super saiyan, he certainly looked terrifying.
Hinagiku's pupil shrunk and she knew an attack is coming.
Vis.h.i.+ punched at the air with his right hand.
The moment he did so, the dou qi gathered at his fist and was emitted as a dou qi blast that targeted Hinagiku while everyone gasped.
Hinagiku inhaled and she closed her eyes while grasping s.h.i.+rosakura. She opened her eyes and her figure blurred.
The dou qi blast hit Hinagiku, or at least it looked like it did, the dou qi blast past through her figure and hit the floor behind her.
That was an afterimage!
