Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#918 - Human King Selection Competition!

Accompanied by swirling purple mist, Liang Yue stepped out of the magic circle.

His gaze swept left and right, pausing on the surveillance camera in the corner of the basement and the two figures peering through the wall, before finally settling on the little girl in the purple dress opposite him.

"You, you're not a Berserker? You, who are you...?"

The little girl's face was filled with shock, but she quickly regained her composure. A large number of command seals instantly appeared on the surface of her skin, her expression still betraying her unease.

"Meeting me, I don't know whether to call it your luck or misfortune, little girl. Let's put it this way."

Here, Liang Yue paused slightly, casually connecting to the video call that Teacher Shizuka had sent him through the villagers' communication platform in his own base world, and moving the video window behind him.

Then, he looked at the little girl opposite him and continued, "No matter what you were planning to summon with this magic circle, now you have been drawn into an even grander selection tournament."

"Tournament... what do you mean?"

Hearing this, the little girl clearly didn't fully understand what he meant. While surprised, the spell marks that had appeared on her body began to emit a faint glow.

Clearly, if she felt threatened at this moment, she would do something.

"In short, the game you were about to hold is over. Now you are about to usher in a more magnificent competition. However, given the format of this competition, it is indeed somewhat unexpected.

We also have some kind of special connection, so I'll help you solve your current predicament first."

With that, Liang Yue flicked his finger lightly.

A drop of liquid, shimmering with seven-colored light but containing deep purple within, shot out from his fingertip, transforming into a stream of light that flew into the little girl's brow.

"Ah, what did you do?"

The little girl's reaction speed was clearly a little behind Liang Yue's pace. It wasn't until the glowing liquid merged into her body that she belatedly cried out in alarm, taking a few steps back and looking at him warily.

At the same time, the basement door was forcefully opened from the outside.

Two maids with the same white hair quickly ran in, hopping and skipping, shielding the little girl behind them, their faces full of vigilance.

"Your body has been modified with a clumsy technique, disregarding the consequences, so your lifespan is not long. I'm here to help you strengthen it."

After speaking, Liang Yue ignored the three people opposite him and turned his gaze to the upper right.

Although at this moment, this direction was only a shadowy recess in the corner of the basement wall, if one were to widen their field of vision and ignore the houses in front of them, they would find that a stream of light...

Or rather, five streams of light were flying from a certain point above everyone's heads.

Like light and electricity, the speed was extremely fast!

With lightning speed, they shot towards different corners of the city below the sky.

This stream of light itself was quite extraordinary, carrying an unusual divine power. Even from Liang Yue's current perspective, it could be considered extremely swift.

Its speed was almost equal to his own reaction speed and observation ability!

In the blink of an eye, it had already swept across the sky from the distant horizon, piercing through the firmament and breaking through the daylight. Finally, it silently passed through the castle and thick walls where the few people were, and arrived in front of Liang Yue.

It was actually a uniquely shaped longsword!

The whole body was made of a translucent, crystal-like... wood?

The shape was simple, the overall shape was slightly flat and round, and the blade in front of the hilt was five fingers wide and three fingers thick, gradually thinning from the body of the sword to the tip of the sword.

But even at the very tip of the sword, the position of the tip of the sword was still flat and round, and it seemed that there was no edge at all.

The hand guard in front of the hilt was also very unique in shape, probably like a rose-shaped flower bud close to the blade.

The entire sword was a little over a meter long, surrounded by a cyan-green glow.

At this moment, the tip of the sword was pointing straight at Liang Yue's brow.

The cyan-green halo surrounding the body was still flickering, and it was getting more and more intense.

It seemed that it was in the acceleration stage, even more powerful than when it was flying in the air before.

Unfortunately, at this time, layers of slightly deep bright blue ripples had already surged out from around Liang Yue's body.

This was exactly the power of space that Liang Yue had been painstakingly cultivating~!

At present, although from the outside, the distance between him and the sword has always been maintained at about half a meter, in fact, the space between the sword and him has been silently stretched infinitely!

No matter how it accelerates, erupts, or sprints, it cannot pass through this seemingly close distance.

"Is this considered an ambush? Or does someone not want this broken sword anymore?"

Looking at the wooden sword in front of him, which could almost be said to be fixed in the air, Liang Yue looked in the direction of the source and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then, he chose to reach out and grab the hilt.

......

"Ding~! The rules of the King Selection Tournament have been issued, please check them in time!"

"Ding~! All Sword Masters are now in place, the competition officially begins!"

"Ding~! Victory condition: The first to collect seven swords automatically wins!"

......

"So it's a competition credential ~"

Looking at the wooden sword that had honestly quieted down in his hand at this time, Liang Yue seemed quite surprised.

Because according to his feelings and knowledge, the quality of the sword in his hand at this time seems to be very good ~

Its whole body is made of an unknown spiritual wood core, which is not only very transparent and pure, but also has very good magic conductivity.

Then, the density is very high, it is extremely hard and wear-resistant, and it has a certain degree of toughness, and it seems to have its own light attribute.

Between waving, it seems that it can also unleash the power of thunder and lightning~!

To some extent, it can also achieve a certain superposition effect with the power of thunder tribulation in his body.

If this kind of quality magic sword fell into the hands of those monks who take it as their duty to catch ghosts and subdue demons, it would inevitably be cultivated as their natal magic weapon!

However, the material of this sword is certainly not as good as the World Tree in his own base world, but it is a little better than the tree body of the Tree of Life.

If one day the Tree of Life grows into a material and is promoted to become an Ancient Tree of Life, the material of the tree heart essence may be comparable to this sword.

Of course, this is just based on Liang Yue's personal shallow knowledge and judgment, and there may be some errors in the middle.

Given that this guy had never refined his own natal magic weapon before, at the moment when he got this sword, Liang Yue's heart actually gave birth to a moment of impulse, wanting to refine it and cultivate it.

However, this impulse was soon suppressed by him.

"This handwriting is not small~"

"The basic carving technique is used throughout, rather than some kind of refining method, and no spirit injection or inscription runes have been applied to the sword body."

"That is to say, this is just a treasure sword blank, and it has not really taken shape."

"Is this a kind of inducement?"
