Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"TV station?"

"Well, to put it simply, it's the investors!"

The Seven Star Sword Dance Festival itself is a large-scale event, just like the Olympics, and it costs a lot of money.

In order to obtain sufficient funds, the committee must attract investors before the competition.

The main source of investment lies in the live broadcasting rights of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

The live broadcast rights for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival can be sold for billions every year!

The popularity this year is even more unusual, so it sold for a rare 2 billion!

In other words, by selling the live broadcast rights to TV stations, the committee can obtain funds to hold the conference.

But in this case, the committee will inevitably be subject to the control of the TV stations as investors.

The TV station’s goal is of course ratings and traffic. There must be enough traffic to ensure that this investment does not lose money.

Therefore, investors cannot tolerate a drastic reduction in the number of matches.

And what a coincidence that today is the second round which is the least anticipated match.

If the number of matches were not increased, today's ratings would have plummeted.

In addition, the alliance was just trying to build momentum for the Sword God, so the two sides decided to put pressure on the committee. The committee had no choice but to obey and merge the second and third rounds of the competition together.

“It’s all trouble.”

"Who says it's not?"

Kusakabe Kagami was also quite unhappy.

"This is clearly a student knight competition, so don't bring in adult reasons!"

As expected of a journalist.

He actually said such a philosophical thing.

All in all, some subtle coincidences caused by Jiang Li and Stella led to the current situation.

Let’s not talk about other people for now, but for Kurogane Ikki, it was obviously a huge test.

"It's my turn."

The game on the field was over in just half a minute.

Toudou Touka stood up and walked towards the preparation room with the cheers of Usagi Maru Renren and others.

"Daohua should be able to win this battle easily."

"Our opponent is just last year's quarterfinalists. It's going to be easy!"

Ten minutes later, Dongtang Daohua walked into the battle circle.

Just as the cheerleaders said, her opponents in the second round were only the top eight from last year. Although they had made some progress, they were still no match for her.

Two minutes later, Dongtang Daohua easily won the victory.

"The C zone match is over! The next match starts in D zone!"

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting! The first match in District D will feature our highly anticipated, incredibly popular contestant who's taken the nation by storm. Although he was previously known as the Aurora Sword Master, he now has a brand new title! Please welcome him!"

"Here it comes! I've been waiting for this moment since I came here!"

“Sword God! Sword God!”

Countless young people were cheering in the stands.

The fanatical look seemed to have found faith.

Some people even used their magic power to try to rush towards the battle circle, and the swordsmen in the audience hurriedly stopped the behavior of those crazy fans.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Li stepped onto the stage.

In an instant, all the media turned their cameras on him.

At this moment, his existence was known to people all over the world.

Jiang Li ignored those trivial matters and stared coldly at the gate opposite.

"Junior brother!"

After a while, a figure walked out from there.

She waved her hand and trotted into the battle circle with a look of surprise on her face.

"?"

Jiang Li raised his brows.

"Which one?"

"It's too much!"

The girl was so shocked that her ponytail fell down.

"His opponent is last year's runner-up in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, Asagi Kaguya from Muku Academy! As both disciples of the Fighting God, I believe they will put on a friendly sparring match!"

The host's voice sounded at a very opportune moment.

"Oh……"

Jiang Li acted as if he was in a daze.

So he is the old man’s disciple again?

"Do you remember?"

Asagi Kazuki smiled cheerfully.

"No, I haven't heard of you at all."

Jiang Li's expression was calm.

To be honest, the old man has quite a lot of disciples.

As a senior in the sword-fighting world, he particularly likes to guide the younger generations. In the past few years, he served as a special consultant at Wu Qu Academy, so it is normal for him to have accepted disciples.

But he only knew Dongtang Daohua and Xijing Ningyin, and had never heard of the others.

"when--!"

These words were like a sledgehammer, knocking Asaki down.

"It's almost time to start."

Jiang Li looked at Shinguji Kurono next to him.

"Both sides get ready, the game begins!"

After the order was given, Shinguji Kurono withdrew from the competition.

Asagi puffed out his lips and revealed his spiritual attire. The sword-shaped spiritual attire was wrapped in red flames.

"—"

Then, her eyes suddenly blurred.

Loss of consciousness.

I didn't react at all.

"..."

For a moment, the audience was shrouded in silence.

Many people looked confused.

“Is flash sales popular now?”

"Aren't they from the same sect?"

In the race circle.

Shinguji Kurono's retreating steps suddenly stopped.

"...The match is over, the winner is Jiang Li from Pojun Academy's Nanxiang!"

She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and stepped forward to make the announcement.

"I'm honored to inform you that according to the camera, this match took 0.5 seconds, breaking the tournament's record for defeat..."

The host looked confused.

The fight at that moment was played repeatedly on the big screen.

Jiang Li rushed out within 0.1 seconds of the start of the game and killed Asaki Kazuki with one sword.

Then Asaki took 0.4 seconds to fall down.

The committee confirmed it several times before finally coming to the conclusion that "Jiang Li did not win by being able to snatch the ball faster than the referee."

"too fast!"

"Is this the power of the Sword God?"

It was not until Jiang Li left the stage that heated discussions broke out in the audience.

Although most people are expecting the Sword God to show off his powerful swordsmanship and have a wonderful battle with his opponent, if you think about it carefully, it is actually normal for the Sword God to kill his opponent in seconds.

I believe that only someone like the Fierce Wind Sword Emperor can fight with him for so long.

It seems that only in the finals, when the Sword God meets the Red Lotus Princess, can they see a wonderful game comparable to yesterday's!

"Junior brother is in a bad mood."

In the stands, Dongtang Daohua frowned deeply.

"Because of instant kill? Isn't that normal?"

Guidehara Bikan looked over in confusion.

"But the opponent is one of his senior sisters. No matter what, he won't give her any face at all."

Dongtang Daohua shook his head.

It is true that my junior brother likes to do some things to show off, but he would never do that to his own people.

Even if he had never seen Asagi Kame before, or even heard of her, for the sake of his master, he would still spar with her, give her some pointers, and then defeat her in a very respectful manner.

"Then why now?"

Guidehara Kanata subtly developed a feeling of having lost.

Sure enough, when it comes to understanding Jiang Li, she is always inferior to Dao Hua.

"He defeated Asagi Kame in seconds. He must have wanted to advance to the next round quickly!"

Dongtang Daohua thought for a moment and then made a statement.

"You are the only one who can guess what he is thinking."

Xijing Ningyin remained calm, but just curled her lips silently.

at the same time.

"Because contestant Yakushi Kiriko from Lianzhen Academy withdrew, contestant Shinomiya Tianyin from Akatsuki Academy automatically advanced to the next round! The second round of the competition ends here!"

The host looked at his watch and felt a pain in his balls.

Damn it, the second round lasted four games in total, less than an hour, less than half of the original plan.

When did the number of players decrease so much?

"We'll have a half-hour break. The third round of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival will begin promptly at 8:30! This round is the finals for each major region, and will determine the four finalists who will advance to the final semi-finals! Everyone, please don't leave..."

Half an hour?

After coming down from the arena, Jiang Li pondered for a moment and did not return to the audience seats, but walked in another direction.
