The bloodthirsty one eyed yokai had no intention of sparing Tokita Ohma. It leaped high, plummeting toward him like a meteor, aiming to crush him.
If it connected, Ohma would be reduced to a smear.
Boom!
The one eyed yokai landed, the ground shattering on impact.
A ferocious shockwave surged outward, carrying shards of stone like bullets, whistling sharply through the air.
Fortunately, Ohma didn't become a smear.
Before the one eyed yokai struck, he uttered, "I surrender."
A teammate, waiting in the wings, darted in like lightning, rescuing Ohma just as the one eyed yokai descended.
The rescuer was none other than Wakatsuki Takeshi.
Wakatsuki carried the injured Ohma back, handing him to Kuroki Gensai before stepping onto the arena.
"Next, I'll fight you."
The one eyed yokai, enraged at being interrupted just as it was about to finish Ohma, roared at Wakatsuki's entrance.
"I'll crush you flat!"
It swung its massive arm like a hammer, aiming for Wakatsuki's head as if driving a nail.
But to everyone's shock, Wakatsuki didn't retreat. Instead, he threw an uppercut, meeting the one eyed yokai's descending fist head-on.
A contest of strength? He wasn't afraid.
With muscle density fifty-two times that of a normal human, Wakatsuki possessed superhuman power.
Years of training had pushed his strength to unimaginable heights.
He feared no direct clash.
So far, he'd never met anyone stronger.
Boom!
The massive and smaller fists collided, the air erupting in a piercing roar. A violent shockwave swept out, kicking up dust and debris.
The strike's ferocity was staggering.
The one eyed yokai's single eye widened in disbelief. A mere human matched its strength?
Impossible.
Wakatsuki, however, said, "Is that your full power?"
"???"
Wakatsuki sighed. "I thought yokai strength would be impressive, but it's just this?"
Before the one eyed yokai could respond, Wakatsuki threw another punch.
Feeling insulted, the one eyed yokai roared and swung back.
Boom!
Another deafening clash, the air exploding as shockwaves radiated outward.
This time, the one eyed yokai was sent flying.
Like a cannonball, it soared dozens of meters, crashing to the ground, its face scraping several meters before stopping.
"No, impossible!" it roared, scrambling up. It had lost to a human in strength?
Unacceptable.
Unconvinced, the one eyed yokai charged again, its momentum like an out-of-control tank.
But—
Boom!
Another thunderous impact, and the one eyed yokai was hurled back once more.
Fist against fist, it was utterly dominated by Wakatsuki's power, along with its pride.
"I don't believe it!" The one eyed yokai screamed, charging again. It leaped high, descending like a meteor to crush Wakatsuki.
It had tried this move to finish Ohma, only to be thwarted by Wakatsuki.
Now, it aimed to end Wakatsuki, turning him into a smear.
Facing the plummeting one eyed yokai, Wakatsuki took a deep breath. His body visibly swelled, growing past three meters, his arms doubling in thickness.
Morpheus's eyes lit up. Impressive move.
It wasn't from any series he knew—somewhat like the Kure's Removal from Kengan Ashura, but not quite.
It seemed to be Wakatsuki's original technique.
Intriguing.
In this enhanced state, Wakatsuki's aura surged, his power amplified. He threw a punch at the descending one eyed yokai.
The immense force pierced through the yokai's body.
The one eyed yokai, falling from the sky, was blasted upward, soaring over a hundred meters before exploding with a bang.
Blood and viscera rained down, splattering the ground.
It became the Dark Tournament's first casualty.
Team Saigoku's yokai paled at the sight. The one eyed yokai was among their strongest, yet a human had dispatched it effortlessly.
Complete domination.
Was the Dark Tournament really this terrifying?
Wakatsuki turned his gaze to his opponents, who stood frozen, seemingly too scared to fight.
His interest waned.
Sighing, he muttered, "Boring."
He turned and left the arena.
Seeing this, Kuroki Gensai stepped forward.
Team Saigoku's yokai breathed a sigh of relief. An old man? They shouldn't lose to him.
They sent out a yokai resembling a praying mantis.
As the two passed each other, Kuroki adjusted his disheveled clothes and walked off the arena without looking back.
The mantis yokai swayed, then collapsed with a thud.
Its head, twisted 720 degrees, hung limply on its shoulder, lifeless.
Team Saigoku's yokai stared, dumbfounded.
"We surrender! We surrender!"
After losing two members, they realized the match's danger.
They'd rather concede than continue.
One misstep, and their lives would end here.
Unwilling to die, Team Saigoku surrendered.
Team Enterprise secured the victory.
