After the game, Fang Zheng naturally became the target of media attention again.
In fact, Fang Zheng has always been very popular in the media. On the one hand, it is because of his super strength, and on the other hand, it is because Fang Zheng has a very radical personality and often says some very explosive words. So for the media that likes to add fuel to the fire, there is no more interesting interviewee than Fang Zheng.
But from the perspective of the organizers, they love and hate Fang Zheng.
In fact, generally speaking, the organizers of the Star Martial Arts Festival try to avoid a one-sided competition. This makes the competition less interesting, and it is difficult for casinos to make money. For example, in the finals of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, the casino did not open the market at all, because everyone knew that Fang Zheng would definitely win. In this case, opening the market would obviously make things difficult for themselves.
But on the other hand, the organizers had to admit that Fang Zheng's competition was quite sensational. The previous duel between him and Lusaluka not only greatly increased the ratings, but it might even be the only duel in the history of the Star Martial Festival that used music to compete - after all, it was not easy for an instrument-type weapon like the Far North Lyra to appear, and only Fang Zheng had the ability to fight it with music. Unless the two teams met again at the Griffin Star Martial Festival held again three years later, otherwise it might be unprecedented.
Fang Zheng was actually also accomplished in music, which really surprised many people. After all, most people had always thought that Fang Zheng was a reckless man because of his radical personality. No one expected that he was actually as talented in music as... or even better than the world's top female rock band Lusaluka.
After the interview, Fang Zheng left immediately, and the others would go back to the academy to rest. After all, tomorrow would be the second semi-final, between the Lancelot team from Saint Galletovas Academy and the Enfield team from Star Guide Academy. The winner would compete with the Sky Sword team led by Fang Zheng for the championship.
Fang Zheng didn't care who his opponents were. They were just a bunch of losers and could be easily defeated.
It's the same no matter who comes.
"Um?"
Just when Fang Zheng was considering whether to go somewhere for fun, he suddenly felt a faint killing intent coming from a distance - it was certainly not directed at him, but seemed to be directed at other people. Of course, the killing intent was fleeting, but Fang Zheng quickly caught the target.
Is someone causing trouble?
interesting.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up and he chased after the place where the murderous intent emerged.
Since I'm free anyway, I might as well go see if there's anything fun going on and join in the fun, right?
Following the murderous aura, Fang Zheng came all the way to the harbor area. It was already dusk, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and raindrops were falling, covering the harbor area in drizzle.
"That's interesting."
Fang Zheng looked at his cell phone and found that the signal was cut off. Did that mean someone wanted to cause trouble here?
“Swish!!”
At this moment, suddenly, a man dressed in black and dressed like a ninja suddenly jumped up from the container, holding a blade in his hand and swung it down at Fang Zheng.
The next moment, a splash of blood appeared, and then the ninja's body, which was chopped into two pieces, fell to the ground, with his internal organs pouring out of the gap and scattered all over the ground.
At the same time, raindrops fell, mixed with blood and slowly flowed into the sewer nearby.
"This is not bad, at least I don't have to clean up."
Fang Zheng swung the sharp blade in his hand, without even looking at the black-clad ninja, and continued to stride forward.
The rain is getting heavier.
The blonde girl collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. She was covered in wounds, obviously having gone through a tough battle. In front of the blonde girl, several black-clad ninjas were silently surrounding her, like a pack of wolves hunting prey.
But... I can't end here yet!
Looking at the black-clad ninjas surrounding her, the blonde girl stood up and clenched the double blades in her hands again. At the same time, the black-clad ninjas also stepped forward, waving their weapons and rushing towards the blonde girl——!
"boom!!!"
However, at this moment, lightning flashed.
The shining sword light fell from the sky and landed in front of the blonde girl, exploding instantly. For a moment, the blonde girl only felt a dazzling silver-white flash in front of her eyes, forcing her to close her eyes and turn her head away subconsciously. However, a moment later, a familiar voice sounded.
"Oh, it's you, Miss Claudia."
"Why?"
Hearing this voice, the blonde girl opened her eyes in surprise and looked forward, only to see that all the black-clad ninjas who had surrounded her were beheaded, and a man with black hair and black eyes was holding a sharp blade in his hand, turning his head to look at her with a smile - he was none other than Fang Zheng.
"Kasugano-kun? Why are you here?"
"Oh, I just finished dinner and came out to digest the food."
When it comes to making up lies, Fang Zheng doesn't even blink an eye.
"By the way, what happened to you? Were you expelled from the Star Guidance Hall?"
That’s right, the blonde girl in front of him was none other than the student council president of Seidoukan Academy and the captain of the Enfield team in another semi-final to be held tomorrow, Claudia Enfield.
"I……"
Looking at Fang Zheng, Claudia didn't know what to say for a moment, and at the same time, a deep voice sounded.
"I see. So you are the one who killed my subordinates?"
Along with this voice, an old man also dressed in black slowly walked out from the rain. He stared at Fang Zheng with a pair of calm eyes.
"I came out to digest my food after dinner, and someone came to cause trouble for me out of nowhere. If I don't kill them, will they kill me?"
Fang Zheng scoffed at this.
"And I just happened to see a beautiful girl being attacked, so of course I have to come and help?"
"snort."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the old man snorted coldly.
"Boy, do you know what you are doing? We are..."
"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
However, before the old man could finish his words, Fang Zheng interrupted him by shaking his head.
"I only know that you are the bad guys who attacked the beautiful girl, and I am the hero who saved the beautiful girl. That's enough. Knowing too much is not good for everyone, don't you think?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stared at the old man with a ferocious smile.
"Anyway, to me, this is just a game. It's fun and interesting. Stop talking nonsense to me. I always skip the opening animation when I fight the boss..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the sharp blade and aimed at the old man.
"If you don't come, then I will."
“——!”
The moment Fang Zheng raised his sword, the old man suddenly felt as if he was locked in by some terrifying aura, making it impossible for him to utter the next words!
This is……!?
Although the old man had also seen the Star Martial Festival and knew Fang Zheng's name, it was only when he experienced it in person that he truly felt how terrifying the other party's strength was.
“Woo!!”
At this moment, the old man's face also became serious. He suddenly swung his hands forward, and several black kunai flew out and stabbed towards Fang Zheng.
"You are just a ninja with such a trick. Do you really think you can be on the stage? You don't think you are Hattori Hanzo."
Ignoring the flying kunai, Fang Zheng simply lowered his body and stared at the old man.
Then, the sword light suddenly appeared.
Tooth protrusion!
In just a moment, all the flying kunai were knocked away, and the next moment, the sharp blade shining with cold light pierced through the old man's head, nailing him to a container not far away.
"Nothing more."
Fang Zheng glanced at the lifeless old ninja, who had completely turned into a corpse, and snorted as he drew out his sword. Then, he saw the old ninja's body fall to the ground, motionless.
Then, he put away his weapon and walked over to Claudia, who was sitting on the ground.
"Just right, you've almost finished digesting the food, I'll take you home."
Looking at Claudia, Fang Zheng said with a grin.
Afterwards, Claudia followed Fang Zheng and left the harbor area.
The rain was getting heavier at this moment, Fang Zheng was walking in front, and Claudia was following behind. She stared at Fang Zheng with a complicated expression.
"Kasugano-kun, why are you here?"
"I told you to take a walk after dinner to help digest the food. Of course, I also noticed that there were people fighting over here, so I came over to have some fun. It's just for fun anyway."
"Play……"
Claudia was completely speechless after hearing Fang Zheng's answer.
"Do you know who that old man is? He is..."
"Ah, I don't want to listen to that turtle chanting."
Fang Zheng interrupted Claudia again.
"Anyway, they are the villains who are here to kill you, and I am the hero who is here to save you. Look, isn't it good for this relationship to be so simple? Don't make it too complicated."
"Well……"
Faced with Fang Zheng's rogue reaction, Claudia didn't know what to say, but soon she remembered something.
"Wait, why do you say there's a problem between me and Seidoukan Academy?"
"How fresh? This is just a simple reasoning."
Fang Zheng turned around and glanced at Claudia with disdain.
"When you are being hunted, your first normal reaction is to go back to the academy to get help. But instead of going back to school, you ran to such a remote place to die by yourself. Anyone can see that there must be something wrong, right? I won't ask any questions. If you feel that you can't stay in Xingdaoguan Academy, then why not come to our Haolin? Anyway, we are recruiting people recently."
“…It’s not that simple.”
"It's quite simple. Look, I went to talk to that fat guy with big ears, and Irene and Priscilla came over, didn't they?"
"etc……"
Hearing this, Claudia was stunned.
"Is this why you challenged Leiwolf Black Academy to a duel?"
"What else? Why would I go to a work-study school full of scoundrels instead of picking up girls?"
Fang Zheng snorted, and Claudia was completely speechless.
In fact, the other student council presidents were also speculating on why Fang Zheng went to find trouble with Leiwolf Black Academy. Of course, they had asked Diluk, but he refused to tell them. Now Claudia finally understood why Diluk refused to tell them. In order to get two students to transfer, Fang Zheng almost killed everyone in Leiwolf Black Academy. If she were the student council president of Leiwolf Black Academy, she would never tell anyone about such a shameful thing.
"Uh... I'm doing fine at the Star Guide Academy, no need to worry about me."
Claudia didn't dare to nod, otherwise Fang Zheng might really rush into the Star Guidance Hall tomorrow.
"Then keep going. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
Having said this, Fang Zheng smiled at Claudia.
"As long as it's fun and interesting, I don't mind."
“…”
Faced with Fang Zheng's words, Claudia was completely speechless at this moment.
