Chapter 181
No one expected the tournament to end in such a dramatic way. Even Zixu was speechless.
"No, you guys better act more realistically. You're making it really difficult for me."
With all the other contestants eliminated, the Whirlpool Country naturally swept all the awards. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Those prizes were of little use to Hyuga Chinano and the others, so it was better to hand them over to the newcomers.
The result of the match was already clear. Without the overwhelming force of Aburame Hatsuizumi and the other elite fighters, this battle turned into a real combat drill for the Whirlpool Country.
At first, the audience was frustrated by the lack of an intense battle, but thanks to the commentator's passionate commentary, their emotions were reignited.
"The fights between these guys are actually pretty fun."
Different from the dazzling ninjutsu battles between traditional shinobi, their fights had a beauty to them like fireworks in the sky. Mechanical warriors with bodies partially clad in steel, blending cutting-edge tech with taijutsu—each punch and kick radiated the elegance of technology.
There were also gunsmiths, unleashing a full range of artillery and machine guns, demonstrating the philosophy that "truth lies within range and justice is in the caliber." The wild laughter in the middle of gunfire and the clashing steel of mechas showcased the raw power of modern tech to the world.
Hyuga Chinano and the others had already left the battlefield. The rest was up to those behind the scenes. Before heading off, Aburame Hatsuizumi still felt uneasy and sent a bug to scan the field again. Only after Karin confirmed there were no issues did shee finally come down.
Zixu had been waiting for them off the court. Arms crossed, left foot tapping the ground, he was at a loss for words.
Seeing the innocent looks on Aburame Hatsuizumi and the others' faces, he swallowed back whatever he was about to say. He exhaled and pinched the cheek of Aburame Hatsuizumi, who looked especially guilty.
