Have pateince guys, the worm's ways and motives are going to get revealed really vaguely and hella slowly. It's obvious that's the story-telling route that the author is going for.
Stop bitching about it like it's some sort of badly inserted subplot. It's been there since the first kengan manga.
Thank you for the chapter, and yes I'm getting the strong feeling that Nicholas will definitely have some variation of the advance technique. He will Hulk-out during his match. Naidan was a high ranking work there's no way he would warn his friend about Nicholas if a)He wasn't a worm as well and likely to harm others once he deems them no longer of any use to him b) Nicholas is more dangerous then Lui in some manner and his appearance is deceiving. Otherwise he would have warned him about Lui instead.
If Lu Tian is from hong kong, then I'm from Jupiter, lol. The guy looks like a westerner. I hope agito wins, also I'm curious about what the two of them have in common with Niko.
While I believe Lu Tian is real strong, this will probably end in one sided domination once Agito goes psycho mode. Yet another level unlocked for his endless evolution.
@spicypeppers him calling prototype to Agitoh and that he "inherit (a) Niko's techniques" makes me think that he can use the Advance ?) But we have ti w8 to see that.
