Wu Tian walked over and stopped before Yagami Yuriko.
Yagami Yuriko exuded a cool aura that made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"Is there something you need from me?" he asked, trying to sound as casual as possible.
Yagami Yuriko was not one for small talk.
Her beautiful eyes stared directly at Wu Tian, and she opened her mouth to ask, "Who exactly are you?"
Wu Tian was taken aback by her question and couldn't help but retort, "What do you mean 'who am I'? My name is Wu Tian. Is there a problem with that?"
Yagami Yuriko said, "I'm asking about your relationship with the Shen Yi Men."
"Shen Yi Men?!" Hearing this, Wu Tian was immediately startled.
He became vigilant and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Yagami Yuriko said, "You just used the Yaoshen Zhenfa."
Wu Tian finally understood. It seemed his technique had been seen through.
When he subdued the volunteer, although it appeared he had simply inserted a silver needle into the volunteer's glabella, the reality was quite different.
This needle was not something anyone could perform. It was called the Yizi Po Zhenfa, a secret needle technique of the Yaoshen, specifically designed to break through enhancement methods.
It could be said that all enhancements in the world could be broken by this needle, making it an unparalleled needle technique.
However, Wu Tian did not wish to expose himself, so he feigned ignorance and said, "What Yaoshen Zhenfa are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying. Did you see wrong?"
"I just randomly threw out a needle in a moment of crisis."
"Subduing him was purely a matter of luck. Please don't misunderstand."
He knew his explanation was rather weak, but it was the only excuse he could come up with at the moment.
Yagami Yuriko did not refute him. She simply continued to stare at Wu Tian and then nodded gently, "I understand."
With that, Yagami Yuriko didn't say anything more to Wu Tian and turned back into the venue.
Seeing her so decisive, Wu Tian was somewhat unable to snap back to reality.
He had expected Yagami Yuriko to interrogate him at least a little.
But this woman was truly true to her character, not wanting to waste a single word.
Although Wu Tian wouldn't be foolish enough to think the matter was over, since Yagami Yuriko didn't ask, he was happy to have some peace and quiet and returned to the China team.
Seeing Wu Tian return so quickly, the members of the China team were all very confused.
Ling Tengyun asked Wu Tian in a deep voice, "What did Miss Yagami want with you?"
Wu Tian didn't have a good impression of Ling Tengyun, so he said indifferently, "What does that have to do with you?"
Upon hearing Wu Tian's tone, Ling Tengyun immediately became furious.
He said, "Miss Yagami is from Bird Country. At such a critical juncture, she must have had a reason to find you!"
"I am the captain of the China team now. I have the right to question you. What if you colluded with people from Bird Country in private?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You truly are looking for trouble where there is none!"
"If I have a few words with Miss Yagami, it's considered private collusion. Then if I were to have a meal with her, wouldn't you accuse me of treason?"
He patted Ling Tengyun's shoulder and said earnestly, "Instead of worrying about this, you should think more about the competition."
"If you become careless, you might lose miserably."
After speaking, he left directly, leaving Ling Tengyun trembling and with a ferocious expression!
For the next three days, it was the group stage of the competition.
Originally, according to the rules of the competition, the group stage was supposed to be completed in one day.
However, the questions in the group stage were too time-consuming, and they could barely complete two matches a day, so the schedule had to be extended.
Wu Tian did not watch the matches during these days. He had no interest in them and preferred to be alone.
However, he did hear some rumors about the competition.
It was said that in this group stage, even if he performed brilliantly, he would only rank second, and the person ranked first was actually Yagami Yuriko.
The Bird Country team did not have a full five-person roster; instead, Yagami Yuriko competed in all matches alone.
This did not violate the rules, as the competition only suggested forming a five-person team and did not mandate it.
In the matches of the Bird Country team, everyone witnessed what a true instant kill was.
Yagami Yuriko, competing alone, defeated her opponents with overwhelming dominance!
Those who watched that match said that Yagami Yuriko was like a god of medicine descended to earth.
The teams she competed against were so shocked by her skill that they began to doubt themselves.
Some even developed depression and refused to come out of their rooms for days.
Although Wu Tian did not witness such a scene, from these accounts, he could basically guess how formidable Yagami Yuriko's strength was.
However, he was not surprised by this.
After all, Yagami Yuriko's skills were derived from the Yaoshen.
With her abilities, she would likely be among the top young talents even within the Shen Yi Men in China.
Wu Tian did not take anyone else seriously in this competition, but he absolutely could not ignore Yagami Yuriko.
As for Yagami Yuriko's true strength, it could only be known when he faced her directly.
After the group stage concluded, the eight winning teams smoothly advanced to the round of sixteen.
Through a live draw, the opponent for the China team was also confirmed.
It was Han Country!
Upon learning this result, the faces of the other members of the China team did not look good.
After all, there were only three strong opponents in this competition: India Country, Han Country, and Bird Country.
Now that India Country had been eliminated by them, shouldn't Han Country be eliminated by someone else?
But now they were arranged to face such a strong opponent again. Their luck was simply too bad.
However, given the situation, what else could they do? They could only let nature take its course.
After the draw, the referee announced another matter.
He said that tonight, a girl group from Han Country would be holding a concert at the foot of Red Apple Mountain in Bird Country.
Han Country had also specifically reserved tickets and invited all eight teams to watch the performance.
Wu Tian originally had no intention of going.
He had never been interested in these wriggling girl groups; watching them was a form of torture for him.
However, the other members of the China team were extremely interested, their excitement palpable. They didn't allow him to refuse and directly registered with the referee.
Although Wu Tian was somewhat helpless, he had no choice but to go along that evening.
This girl group was said to be the number one girl group in Han Country, with extremely high popularity worldwide.
Even for a performance in Bird Country, the venue was packed and looked very lively.
