Chapter 437: Brawl is Superior!!!
The delivery driver took the package from the lab and, following the address provided by Cheng Tian, rode his bicycle towards the destination.
Meanwhile, Cheng Tian also began preparing to directly snatch an invitation letter for himself.
Although, theoretically, the most intense period for the invitation letter scramble would be from tonight until tomorrow noon, and snatching something then would involve the fewest variables, Cheng Tian had several reasons to ensure he secured the item beforehand.
That was to secure all gains from the three-way chaotic battle tonight.
If he couldn't enter the main quest line and complete the settlement, then regardless of whether it was the large feng shui engine he plundered, the new eyeball on his forehead, or the Origin Mental Power Combat Technique still under development, all would revert to their original versions before entering the instance if the main quest failed.
This was something Cheng Tian absolutely could not accept.
Therefore, even if he had to face an unavoidable defense battle, he had to ensure he secured the item in advance.
Don't let the current composition of these sixteen seeded teams fool you; it's vastly different from the initial lineup, with only a few teams consistently holding their ground, unlike Cheng Tian who directly gave his away midway.
But it doesn't matter; the next twenty-plus hours will see further changes, and many teams that initially hid themselves will likely go all out, only then will we see who has the last laugh.
Cheng Tian didn't intend to retrieve the invitation letter directly from the Cat Spirits; instead, he targeted the one who stole the invitation letter from the Wolf Team and consistently used the Raven Leader to fly, thereby evading player teams searching for it.
This raven had been flying intermittently for about 18 hours, and because audition teams were scattered throughout the area waiting for it to land, it never truly had a chance to rest.
Based on the current summon creature attributes of the player community, this Raven Leader, which had already evolved once, should still have the stamina to continue circling; waiting for it to land before capturing it was basically out of the question.
Cheng Tian chose to deploy the Primordial Wyvern directly!
In this peculiar world where even Blue-Eyes White Dragons could be summoned, a Primordial Wyvern was not considered particularly rare.
"Let me see where you are~~"
Cheng rubbed his hands together like a fly and switched the channel to Team 996's live broadcast, but surprisingly, the Raven Leader, which he expected to be idling on top of some skyscraper, was actually in an ace combat state that made most viewers dizzy!
The organizers must have lost their minds to give a first-person perspective... Oh, it's a first-bird perspective.
Not only was the perspective rotating wildly, but it also frequently performed extreme dives and ascents, as if trying to shake off something pursuing it.
And the entity chasing it from behind seemed to be putting considerable pressure on it, maintaining a very close distance.
As if to create a sense of suspense, the camera never showed what was behind it, completely hiding what was chasing it.
Cheng Tian only confirmed its approximate location when he saw the SIN Building, which he had ransacked last night, during a perspective dive.
"Go~ play with them."
The Primordial Wyvern, emerging from the combat mount reins, first nudged Cheng's chest with its large head, then soared into the air, breaking through the wind after a brief charge.
This raven being pursued was only one of Cheng Tian's targets; in his opinion, there were still many soft targets he could pick on.
Cheng had become overconfident! He even started thinking that many of the Fighter teams were soft targets!
But it must be said that the current Cheng Tian indeed had sufficient capital to directly crush many teams, not even needing Irene and the others' help.
He continuously switched channels, finally settling on one named "Brawl is Superior."
This team consisted of one male and two females. The captain, named "Zanma Roga," had a very strong vibe of a delinquent youth from a hot-blooded high school; he used a nearly instinctive self-taught wolf fist style, often arriving with his voice before his person, very aggressive.
Then there were the female members named "Tenroh Kuna Hime" and "Kyodo Senna."
The former also engaged in unarmed combat but came with wolf claws; in her normal state, her every move was elegant, but once she got into a fight, she became full of wildness, with a madness that wouldn't stop until blood was shed.
The latter was much calmer than the previous two wolves; she wore a modified JK uniform and wielded a Japanese sword. Mina took one look through the screen and immediately declared her to be a miko.
"It's actually Daibanchou Fighting... This is much more niche than Hisouten."
Looking at the opponent's team composition, Cheng Tian also shook his head.
Yes, these three actually came from "Daibanchou Fighting BBB," a spin-off of the SLG strategy game "Daibanchou" developed by a GALGAME game company. It was a rare and exceptionally well-made fighting game among such spin-offs.
The characters' impact, fighting system, combos, voice acting, etc., were all above average. It was just a pity that Cheng Tian couldn't properly experience the original version back then, and even his subsequent encounters were in MUGEN compilation packs.
As for the team currently confronting them, they weren't just random passersby either.
All three members of the team were male and wore identical, completely red Japanese high school uniforms from top to bottom.
A leading captain had very flowing air bangs, while the identical twins standing on either side of him were strictly positioned one step behind, highlighting the captain's stance.
Captain "Yamada Daiki" and the Twin Dragons "Hattori Ryuichi, Ryuuji" formed this purely male high school fighting team, "Cold Front Team," which almost represented a high school in the competition.
It was not uncommon for teams to use school names as their team names; in fact, it could be seen as a form of promotion.
Take Kyo Kusanagi, the perennial high school student from the King of Fighters' homeland; his perpetual grade retention wasn't because he didn't want to graduate or was too stupid to graduate, but rather because while he never attended classes, his school principal refused to let him graduate for the special title of "High School of the King of Fighters Champion."
Strictly speaking, the three members of the Cold Front Team should originate from "River City Ransom," but it also contained a large number of fighting and supernatural elements.
As the challenger, Captain Yamada Daiki was very angry.
He was furious that Zanma Roga could openly bring girls to compete!
It was even more annoying than being ganged up on by Kunio and Riki!
"Huh? What are you looking at!? I'll dig your eyes out!"
Facing the challenger, Roga, with his hands in his pockets and an even more nonchalant demeanor than his opponent, approached in a few steps, directly getting face-to-face.
It could be said he had that delinquent vibe down perfectly.
However, just as their noses were about to touch, Yamada Daiki extended his arms, instantly posing like a crucifix.
Just as Roga looked bewildered, in an instant, an invisible force enveloped Roga's entire body, throwing him directly into the air, brushing past the Primordial Wyvern that had just arrived with a rush of wind—
Yamada's Art!
