For Fang Zheng, he doesn't have to wait too long to meet King Ye. In fact, they will meet soon.
Just like now.
Looking at the bustling Hengcha Base in front of him, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed a cold smile. This is the gathering place for all those who have advanced to the main competition of the Psychic Battle, but...
"It really looks like some kind of festival is being held here."
Restia looked around and sighed, while Esther nodded silently. Just as they said, the entire base was now decorated with lights and looked like a festival was being held. Not only that, the priests of the Pachi tribe were also there... as vendors.
"…What are you doing, Mr. Sheba?"
When Fang Zheng saw the tenth priest selling takoyaki in front of him, he was speechless. The reason why he knew him was very simple, because before, this man named Shiba suddenly found him and said that the priest Krom who was supposed to be in charge of him was killed and he took over. Fang Zheng didn't care about it.
But... as the organizer of the Psychic War, aren't you being too cheap?
"Hahaha, we are raising operating funds for the Psychic War."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Xiba smiled embarrassedly.
"After all, the Pachi tribe has a hard time too."
“…”
Yes, they can raise funds by selling takoyaki. This is the first time I have seen such a poor organizer.
You should know that in many modern online stories about cultivating immortals in cities, there are also competitions of this or that kind, and generally the organizers are either extremely wealthy or have close connections with high-level officials. If you write about an organizer who is so poor that he has to raise funds by setting up stalls on the street, you will be scolded by readers.
"...Do you want me to sponsor you a little?"
Fang Zheng couldn't bear to watch it any longer. To be honest, the opening ceremony of the competition held by the Pachi tribe was actually very weird. They rented a sports venue and placed chairs in the venue. Then the leader of the Pachi tribe, an old lady, came on stage to announce the official start of the competition, and then that was it.
The reason is simple, they only rented it for one hour and didn't have the money to rent it for more time.
You are so poor, and you are still holding a weird psychic conference...
By the way, most of the psychics are poor, and they don’t have the aura of the wealthy families in urban cultivation novels. Most of them are so poor that they come to participate in the competition. There are very few truly rich second-generations.
If not everyone is aiming to become the Shaman King, and the Pachi tribe holds the great soul that is the key to becoming the Shaman King, I'm afraid no one would come to participate in this poor and miserable event that is not even comparable to the Tokyo Olympics.
Hmm... Could it be that someone within the Pachi tribe has taken advantage of the situation?
Of course, Fang Zheng just thought so, and his suggestion of sponsorship was naturally rejected by Shiba with a wry smile. The Pachi tribe was poor, but if the contestants were asked to sponsor, the psychic war would be different, right? Fang Zheng did not force it, but just said a few words casually, and then bought three boxes of octopus balls for himself, Restia, and Esther, one box each, which could be regarded as supporting the Pachi tribe's fundraising plan.
"This is really lively. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Sayu and the others to come and see it."
Restia sighed as she ate the octopus balls, and Fang Zheng smiled slightly when he heard her words. After that, he naturally took the two of them home. After they woke up, Fang Zheng also explained the situation to Sayu and Hanabi. However, the two girls didn't quite understand the battle between psychics, but they also knew that it was because Fang Zheng participated in a competition and others couldn't beat him, so they used this method to make him submit.
Of course, Fang Zheng also comforted the two and gave each of them a magic item as a talisman, so that they would not be afraid if they encountered any life-threatening situation again. Hanabi was very angry about this and shouted to call the police, but fortunately Sayu stopped her - after all, Sayu knew that once she provoked Fang Zheng, it would not be a problem that the police could solve.
The two girls were not uninterested in the conference that Fang Zheng was attending, after all, they were all kidnapped because of it. However, Hanabi Anraoka was still a good girl after all, and she didn't dare to provoke those particularly dangerous things, not to mention that the previous "dinner" also left a psychological shadow in her heart, so she didn't dare to come. Although Sayu was quite interested in this psychic conference, unfortunately Hanabi didn't want to come, so she didn't come either. Now the two of them are busy reviewing for the final exam.
At the same time, in a corner of the Hengcha base, a group of people were chatting there. They were none other than the protagonist of Shaman King - Ma Cang Ye and his companions.
At this moment, they were discussing why they chose to meet here.
However, at this moment, a voice rang out.
“It’s so tiny.”
Hearing the voice, Asakura Ye and his group raised their heads and looked forward, only to see in front of them a young man wearing a cloak, about the same age as Asakura Ye, standing there, looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Are you still concerned about such trivial matters?"
“Huh?”
Hearing the boy's question, Asakura Ye's companions also looked puzzled.
"Isn't this just chatting? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Hahaha……"
Facing the angry rebuke from one of them, the young man laughed softly.
"You're going too far by saying I'm picking on you. You talking to me in this way is picking on you, Holo Holo."
As the boy was speaking, suddenly, a huge arm appeared out of nowhere and punched the blue-haired boy who had spoken before, knocking him away.
"Horo horo!"
"What is that super big thing?!"
Faced with this sudden change, Asakura Ye and others were also shocked. They stared at the huge fire spirit that appeared behind the boy, stunned. Facing the gazes of everyone, the boy seemed quite calm.
"Its name is Fire Spirit. It is different from me and has a bad temper. I advise you to be careful when you speak to me, King Ye... the future king."
However, just as everyone was confronting each other, suddenly, another voice sounded.
"Just you?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that the self-proclaimed future king, Ye Wang, was slapped in the face and flew away. The fire spirit behind him also rushed forward to grab him, but the next moment, accompanied by a scream, the fire spirit instantly shattered as if something had torn its body apart. Ye Wang also fell heavily to the ground and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
"This is……!?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked again. They turned their heads and saw Fang Zheng eating octopus balls while walking towards them from the other side. Beside him, Esther and Restia followed him.
"A small fry like you is worthy of being called the king? Even chuunibaku has its limits, kid."
Staring at King Ye, Fang Zheng opened his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.
"Who are you……"
Ye Wang climbed up from the ground, reached out his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Fang Zheng.
"I'm Fang Zheng. My girl was taken care of by your men. I'm here to return the favor. The blow just now was interest."
At this time, Fang Zheng had also finished eating the octopus balls and threw the remaining garbage into the trash can next to him.
"As for the principal, don't worry. I will slowly let you feel it during the battle between psychics."
“…”
At this moment, Ye Wang also had a gloomy expression. He stared at Fang Zheng, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth without saying a word.
He now realized that this man was indeed as strange as his subordinates said.
Logically speaking, the opponent couldn't hit him at all, but the blow just now actually hit his face. Not only that, even the Fire Spirit was seriously injured!
This was not an ordinary possessing spirit, but one of the five elemental spirits he had obtained from the Pachi tribe. However, such a powerful possessing spirit was almost torn to pieces. The more important problem was that he had no idea how the other party had done it!
This man will definitely become an obstacle to me!
"Lord Yeh!!"
At this time, Ye Wang's subordinates also came to his side. Seeing Ye Wang with a bruised face, they were also shocked. They turned their heads to look at Fang Zheng and wanted to take action. But Ye Wang stretched out his hand to stop them. He just stared at Fang Zheng for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Very good, I will wait for you in the Psychic War."
After saying this, King Ye turned around and left, and his subordinates glared at Fang Zheng fiercely. However, after hesitating for a long time, they could not say anything and could only follow their master and leave.
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng's voice sounded again.
"Don't leave so quickly, kid. Can't you read my mind? Why don't you come and guess what I'm thinking?"
"Why?"
Hearing this, King Ye's subordinates were all stunned, and King Ye's face changed slightly. Only two of his subordinates knew that he could read other people's inner thoughts, and the others didn't know. However, where did this guy know it from?
"I can't guess what you're thinking."
Although he was quite surprised, Ye Wang still answered calmly. In fact, his heart was not as calm as it seemed at the moment, and it could even be said that he was in turmoil. Because Ye Wang found that he could not know the inner thoughts of the man and the two girls behind him. He could even say that if he used mind reading to determine, he could not lock the positions of the three people at all!
"Really? Then you can go away."
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and turned away, while Ye Wang also covered his face and left with his uncertain subordinates. In the end, only the protagonist and his group were still standing there in a daze.
"What on earth is going on here?"
One of them asked in confusion.
"I don't know, but that man is so powerful. He was able to defeat such a huge fire spirit so easily..."
Another person also frowned and spoke. To be honest, the fire spirit that King Ye showed at the beginning did scare them, and that fire spirit easily defeated their companion Holo Holo. However, even such a powerful spirit holder was almost torn to pieces on the spot - if the other party had not shown mercy, I am afraid that even the boy named King Ye would not have been able to escape unscathed.
"It seems that in this psychic battle, I have one more opponent to defeat."
Looking at Fang Zheng's back, Dao Lian tightly gripped the spear in his hand. He could feel the pressure and murderous aura coming from Fang Zheng, which made him unable to move at all. This made Dao Lian feel quite angry and humiliated.
As for the protagonist, Asakura Ye...
"Wow, Holo Holo fainted, come and help!!!"
