A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"With your talent, it's not impossible for you to even become a member of the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover."

Jiang Yang: You're just bragging. Who said that only Orphnochs are qualified to join the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover? You think you can fool me with just a few words?

"Are you serious?"

Jiang Yang suddenly put on an exaggerated act of clasping his hands together and showing a surprised face, which surprised Murakami. He was just asking casually, who would have thought that the other party would react like this.

"what do you mean?"

"Ah, actually I didn't want to be human anymore a long time ago. Not only am I weak, but I'm also constantly sick, unlike an Orphnoch. To be honest, I was always in poor health when I was little. My grandma said..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I have no interest in knowing what I said to your grandmother. You mean you're willing to join us, right?"

"Tsk."

Jiang Yang voiced his dissatisfaction. Why wasn't this guy falling for it? How was he supposed to stall for time now?

"what?"

"Hahaha, it's nothing. I said yes, that's right. I've wanted to join the AI ​​for a long time. I've heard that the AI ​​has a way to turn people into Orphnoch. Please let me join and arrange this service for me."

"These are minor issues. If you join us, this is the treatment you deserve, as long as you hand over that child."

"That's wonderful! I tell you, my grandma said..."

"Stop, don't mention your grandma. Tell me, where did you hide that child?"

"Child? What child? Oh, you mean my grandma's child, right? My dad? He said he's going on a trip with my mom during the holidays, and he should be on his way to pick up my grandma now..."

"Go to hell, don't even mention your grandma, just tell me where that child is."

Seeing that the other party had broken down, Jiang Yang knew he couldn't stall for time any longer. The other party only wanted to know the child's whereabouts, which was why they had been wasting time talking to him. But he couldn't tell them.

Once he realized this, the conversation could no longer continue.

"If you want to know where the child is, do you think I'll tell you? Or you can guess where I've hidden the child, and if you guess right, I'll tell you."

"Tsk, the worst choice."

Murakami Kyoji transformed into an Orphnoch; he simply couldn't stand this guy anymore. He decided to subdue him first, and then interrogate him.

"Huh? So the fight's about to start? Fine, since you're my opponent, I'll bring out my strongest belt to fight you."

Jiang Yang spoke in a very childish tone as he pulled out his ixa belt.

"This belt, and that fruit-shaped belt, aren't we using those?"

"You're underestimating this belt. I can only say that some people are short-sighted. How could a mere Orphnoch like you possibly understand the power of my Ixa? Let me tell you, this belt not only defeated the chariot of the four chess executives, but even Kitasaki died because of this belt."

Upon hearing this, Murakami Kyoji was immediately shocked and became alert. He knew Kitasaki's strength; he was an absolute top-tier Orphnoch, and even he wouldn't dare say he could defeat Kitasaki.

But Kitasaki, that same person, died a few days ago, leading him to suspect that Hanagata had reappeared. Now it seems he was wrong; did Kitasaki really die because of this belt?

Don't be careless.

Seeing that the other party had become wary, Jiang Yang was overjoyed. That's great, just a little more trust.

"Ready!"

"henshin! (Transform!)"

"Fi-stOn!"

Wearing the ixa outfit, this was the first time Jiang Yang had worn it since obtaining the prototype belt. As for the feeling, the belt from the future was indeed more comfortable.

Although there is some pressure, it is not too bad for Jiang Yang. With his excellent physical fitness, Jiang Yang should have no problem using this belt as long as he does not trigger an overload.

The battle began, and Jiang Yang took the initiative to attack. Since the prototype belt had no weapon, he could only rely on his fists to fight, and he deliberately held back some of his strength.

The original IXA was already having a hard time fighting the Rose Orphnoch, and with Jiang Yang deliberately holding back, he was completely dominated from the start of the fight.

"Is this what you call defeating Kitasaki's belt? This is all the power you have. Lies, despicable act."

With one elbow strike, Jiang Yang was knocked back several meters.

"You don't know anything. The longer you wear this belt, the more your combat power will increase. If you wear it for just half an hour, I would dare to touch even King Orphino, let alone Kitasaki."

The ixa belt usually only overloads for a few minutes. If you let King O wear the ixa for half an hour, Jiang Yang might actually be able to solo King O.

After shouting, Jiang Yang rushed forward and attacked with increased force, launching a series of continuous attacks. After a few punches, his power increased, and he kept shouting something like, "I feel the power flowing endlessly, I feel the bond with my teammates."

At this moment, Murakami Kyoji was truly shocked. In just one minute, his opponent's power had been steadily increasing, and by such a significant amount. Although he couldn't threaten him yet, if he allowed the power to continue increasing, he might truly face destruction.

Based on this rate of improvement, he was already convinced that Kitasaki had died because of this, and only such a monstrous belt could possibly kill that monster.

No, we can't let this drag on any longer. He was starting to get scared.

He put one hand to his forehead, and a flurry of roses swept over him. Jiang Yang saw this as a golden opportunity!

He charged straight in, plunging into the raging rose storm. Sparks erupted all over Ixa, and Jiang Yang was sent flying backward. Ixa disintegrated in mid-air, her belt falling to the ground. Jiang Yang, meanwhile, was sent flying, rolling several times after landing until he reached the riverbank and was almost submerged before finally stopping.

Seemingly due to the severity of the injury, he opened his mouth and closed his eyes.

Seeing the fallen IXA belt, Murakami was tempted. If he could obtain this belt, his strength would undoubtedly reach a new level, and then no Orphnoch would dare to disobey him. He could even kill Hanagata; as long as he killed Hanagata, he would be the rightful president of the AI ​​Group.

With that thought in mind, he walked toward the ixa belt.

"Stop, you bastard, you son of a bitch! Don't touch my IXA belt! It's mine, and I won't let you use it!"

Jiang Yang crawled with difficulty on the ground toward the ixa belt. He shouted with all his might, seemingly very anxious and even nine-tenths afraid.

"A futile resistance."

As Murakami Kyoji spoke, he picked up his belt and placed it around his waist.

"Stop! Don't transform! Give me back my IXA!"

Jiang Yang roared and stood up as if he had used all his strength, taking out the Battle Driver.

"Should we continue to resist? That would be the worst possible option."

As he spoke, he transformed into ixa.

"Damn it, take it off now, it's mine, mine!"

Just like a gambler who has lost everything, or a victim about to be bullied, Jiang Yang shouted and slammed the lock into his belt buckle.

"Lock On!"

"henshin! (Transform!)"

"Soiya! Orange Arms! Ikebana On Stage!"

"Armed with fruit? Let's give it a try."

Battle, second round, begin!
