Orc Undead Sports Warrior

At 4 p.m., the 11th World Athletics Championships officially began at Nagai Stadium.

During the athletes' entrance ceremony at the opening ceremony, representatives from 203 countries and regions participating in the Osaka World Athletics Championships appeared in turn, while the Chinese delegation only sent a portion of its athletes as representatives.

Liu Xiang, the sprinter, was absent from the opening ceremony, which disappointed many viewers. Furthermore, in East Asian countries, if Chinese and Japanese athletes are equally strong in the same event, Japan typically exhibits a hostile and wary attitude. Even slight changes in this dynamic can prompt deep analysis and reflection from the Japanese media.

However, Liu Feiren is an exception. His strength has exceeded the limits that the Japanese public can imagine. He is not at the level that any of the players in the series, such as Soccer Boys, Slam Dunk, or Volleyball Girls, can reach.

Therefore, Liu Xiang became an idol of Japanese audiences. In particular, his tearful shout after winning the gold medal at the Athens Olympics, "Who says that people of Asian descent cannot stand on the highest podium in the world of sprinting?" not only inspired people from all walks of life in China, but also motivated the Japanese sports community.

As people of Asian descent, they also found confidence in Liu Xiang's championship victory.

Liu Feiren's appearance at the opening ceremony was a gimmick used by the Japanese media to promote the event, but the audience was noticeably silent when he was not seen.

The subsequent opening ceremony left the media from various countries feeling rather disappointed. The first part of the opening ceremony was called "A World in Motion," in which dancers in red continuously changed formations, forming Japanese and English words, and finally spelling out "2007 Begins in Osaka."

"Do you remember the elementary school textbook? A blue sky with fluffy white clouds, a flock of geese flying overhead, sometimes forming a '人' (human) shape, sometimes a '一' (one) shape. Today's group gymnastics is only at the level of our middle school athletes' opening ceremony..." Coach Jiang sat next to Wang Qiao, clearly unimpressed by the opening.

"If that's the case, I'll go back. The level is too low..." Old Tao got carried away again; he had absolutely no interest in this country.

"Don't go! We won't see each other for a long time after this competition. Even if we don't watch the opening ceremony, it's good to chat!" Wang Qiao and Lao Tao have gotten along well recently. They get along well and talk to each other a bit more.

However, the entire audience was ignited after the second segment began.

First to appear was Yuji Oda, the famous actor who played the male lead in "Tokyo Love Story," who sang the drama's theme song. It was clear the show was very popular; this once-popular drama enjoys high acclaim everywhere, and the audience was clearly receptive. The cheers and screams erupted in waves upon the appearance of their idol.

As the audience's emotions reached a climax, the music volume suddenly dropped sharply, and then the famous British singer Sarah Brightman rose from the front of the stands to the center of the stadium. Dressed in white, the "Moon Goddess" delivered a song that sounded like heavenly music.

The dancers used vivid body language to interpret the theme of people rising up and running despite setbacks and falls, refusing to compromise with fate. The combination of the dancers' dynamic movements and the singer's voice brought the entire audience to a sudden silence, and everyone seemed to fall into deep thought.

This song makes people unconsciously start to think about the meaning of life and the value of existence; almost everyone looks thoughtful.

As the songs ended, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. The two songs seemed to breathe life into the venue, rekindling everyone's spirits.

The opening ceremony concluded with a traditional Japanese Kabuki performance. The Japanese audience was engaged from the start, though foreign journalists and athletes were initially less enthusiastic. However, as the music reached its climax, the Kabuki performance began to unfold with subtle and expressive detail.

At the end of the performance, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. Although the foreigners did not understand the inner meaning of the performance, they still appreciated the profoundness of world art through the exotic dance.

"This performance by the Japanese was alright. Although they didn't have anything particularly outstanding, it was at least something to fill the gaps." Coach Tao's evaluation was already a thumbs up.

What is national is also international; the more unfamiliar something is to people from other countries, the more mysterious it becomes. This traditional Japanese song and dance received positive reviews, and the opening ceremony started slowly but gained momentum.

Just as the audience's emotions were about to reach a climax, Japan's symbol of honor, Akihito, took the stage to deliver his opening address.

"I told you guys to leave, but you wouldn't. Now this bastard is here insulting people. Ugh!" Coach Tao was really angry.

Then, the man named Mingren began to read the opening address, and the Chinese coaches started chatting amongst themselves.

"Didn't everyone say that Mingren's voice is like a crane's? I've heard cranes make a sound, just like ducks, they all quack. Why does this male duck's voice sound a little different!"

The opening remarks were brief, and after Akihito finished speaking, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. Many people had never seen what Akihito looked like in their entire lives. In everyone's minds, someone like him must be exceptionally intelligent or possess extraordinary physical abilities.

Unfortunately, this status, which in the old days represented the highest power in all of Japan, did not allow this septuagenarian to shine much brighter. Although his demeanor and speech had an aristocratic air, his slightly hunched posture from a distance still made one sigh at the power of time.

Just then, a loud chorus of boos suddenly erupted from the stands adjacent to the athletes' stands, as if it were a handover from the applause that had just followed.

"Hmm? Akihito's already in such a state in Japan! If this kind of thing can't be hidden in this kind of setting, then the Japanese are probably going to make trouble for themselves again. This is quite a big deal!" Deputy Head Coach Yu Wei seemed very puzzled. Logically speaking, this kind of event is for people to save face. Even if there are any domestic conflicts, they should only surface after the other countries' people have left. This doesn't make sense! Besides, I haven't heard any news about Akihito being criticized recently. This matter is definitely going to be big news today.

"The old man couldn't take it. He's so old, and he had to give a speech. It made him feel awkward." Coach Jiang noticed that Mingren was about to leave when the boos suddenly started. He seemed a little lost. He hesitated for a moment, as if he really wanted to know why the audience was booing. At this point, he didn't know whether to stop or leave.

Just then, Lu Wei walked over and sat down next to Wang Qiao, and Shen Liang also walked over with him.

"Why are you sitting so far to the left? We'll have to walk down from the right later!" Lu Wei wanted to continue, but the loud boos made him frown sharply.

"It's all your fault, you piss god! You've made me attract bedbugs these past few days!" After sitting down, Lu Wei shoved Shen Liang's head with his palm.

As Lu Wei crossed the stands from the far right to the far left, the audience on the other side of the stands booed loudly upon seeing him.

"Don't touch me! Who told you to come that day? I can handle him myself!" Shen Liang finally managed to push Lu Wei's hand away with great effort. As he spoke, he raised his arm and flexed his biceps.

"Hahaha!" The Chinese coaches were all laughing now; it turned out the boos came from Lu Wei.

The audience was already showing restraint by not throwing water bottles and rotten eggs at him. After his ordeal with Asahara Nobuharu that day, facing the jeers and boos from the entire Japanese audience, he repeatedly punched his chest in protest. That's when everyone finally realized he was no pushover.

Lu Wei has now become a "public enemy" in Osaka.
