When Yanagi Kazushima and Masako Minamida were discussing in bed how to deal with their son's martial soul dueling bonus, Yanagi Motokazu was in the middle of the gym, holding a long sword, gently stroking the sword body over and over again.

In the virtual game world in his previous life, he was one of the representatives of the madness, whether it was the Eight Desolations Rampant Knife or the Split Array Gun, it was a wild and wanton, rampage martial art.

Only the White Rainbow Sun Sword is different!

The Eight Desolations Rampant Sword is complex and bold, and the White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword is simple and direct.

The road to simplicity!

If the Eight Desolations Rampant Sword requires absolute control over the human body, then the White Rainbow Sun Sword is the absolute concentration of the spirit.

Liu Shengyuan slowly closed his eyes, and his breath gradually condensed.

The external voices were shielded one by one, and the inner spirit gradually fell silent.

In the world of Yanagi Motowa's heart, everything is darkened until it is completely dark. There is only one sword, which is clearly visible. This is a type of contemplation in which one places one's spiritual will in one by visualizing a certain object, deity, natural environment, etc., so as to attain a specific mental state. For example, visualizing the clear water of the pool can purify distracting thoughts, visualizing the bright moon can naturally cool it, and visualizing the sun ——, it is recommended not to die casually.

When Liu Shengyuanhe held the long knife, even if his will was condensed on the knife, it would definitely not achieve such an effect.

The reason is very simple, the knife is curved! Maybe the curvature of the knife is good for chopping, maybe the shape of the knife is good for power, maybe the knife can be exchanged for a stronger blade than a sword with one side and the back of the knife on the other. However, the knife is curved, and even if there is a so-called straight knife, it is still unbalanced and does not count as real - straight.

Even if the sword technique reaches its peak, it is still only a skill close to the Tao. Only a straight sword can enter the Tao.

When the spirit of the warrior is pinned on the weapon, the form of the weapon will also affect the spirit of the warrior. Placing on a sword with a simple shape and straight shape can make the spirit flawless condensed, and the gentleman's sword comes from this. However, the knife, due to its own form and human perception of it, cannot provide this kind of spiritual purification effect.

In Yanagi Yuanhe's spiritual world, his spiritual will was condensed into a spiritual sword that was exactly the same as the 'white rainbow' in his hand, intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, he is deeply aware of this, compared with holding the 'snow washing', Yanagi Yuanhe's will is unprecedentedly pure and condensed, and his perception is doubly sensitive—distracting thoughts are gone.

At this moment, the unprecedented pure will brought an inexplicable intuition, although I don't know where this intuition came from, but Yanagi Motokazu just believed - this is right.

What is internal strength? Originally, Liu Shengyuan and Bai were puzzled, but now, in a pure heart, there is no need to think at all, and the answer automatically emerges from the bottom of the heart! Internal strength is will, it does not come from the brain, after the brain thinks, processes and processes the command, but from the whole body's initial and fundamental will!

At this moment, Yanagi Yuanhe understood why he couldn't feel the aura of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the sun and moon like Zhong, because there were never such things in the world, everything was will!

"The Tao is natural, not bad for action, breathing is contained, neutralizing is embracing, the will is clear, and the silence is always shining. "This is the method that Yanagi has always used to meditate, to reflect on the mind, and it is still right up to this point. But the next sentence -

The phrase "the innate Qi comes from nothingness" has deceived many cultivators from ancient times to the present! Nothing can come out of nothingness at all, and the feeling that something seems to be pouring straight into the body from the top door is simply an illusion, there is no innate Qi, only the awakening of the will of the human body's cells and tissues!

Human beings have countless thoughts and distractions, and different body tissues of the human body also have different demands, resulting in cells not having a unified, bottom, and pure will at all, but after countless distortions, they are randomly integrated together and fed back into the brain, forming the original desire of human beings, which is the so-called bestiality/animality, which presents two characteristics at the same time, on the one hand, in order to maintain its own survival and better survival, presenting egoism, and on the other hand, for the continuation of the population, presenting altruism. In the process of adapting to society, these two characteristics are distorted again to form a human nature that meets the requirements of society.

Finally, with human nature and animal nature, human beings are once again educated by the traditional culture of society, or the characteristics of civilization, to form the so-called personal worldview. An obvious example is that Americans are full of adventurism and opportunism, while Chinese pay more attention to social stability and sustainable development, which are the behavior patterns of a member of civilization determined by the characteristics of civilization, of course, not the same for everyone, but as a big data sample, the distinguishing characteristics are very obvious.

On the one hand, the animalistic/animalistic altruism at the bottom requires individuals to make certain sacrifices for the survival of the population, and the human nature at the middle level requires that the behavior conform to moral norms, and the combination of the two distills the noble morality of the upper class. The so-called noble morality is nothing but the animal nature that conforms to the interests of the population and the human nature that conforms to the requirements of society, and satisfying both at the same time is noble.

For example, the college student who sacrificed his life to rescue a child who fell into the water is undoubtedly noble, and his behavior is in line with the instinctive requirements of continuing the population and caring for the juveniles of his own group - such behavior is common in social animals, and at the same time conforms to social human morality, the so-called sacrifice of oneself to achieve others is the most commendable aspect of social morality, because the spirit of the lowest level of the whole society is maintained by this behavior of giving up part of one's own interests to help others. A society that is completely selfish is actually difficult to develop.

If you think about it carefully, the initial material exchange was actually the mutual help of the ancestors, and it was not as utilitarian as modern people imagined. Now we call it simple or stupid, but in an era when human beings were far from being called the overlord of the earth, this was how the weak ancestors supported each other to survive.

The so-called innate is the will of the cell tissue itself, which has not been processed by the brain or distorted by knowledge, and is the most primitive and instinctive resonance. Cells are alive, cells have their own life, their own will, maybe these tiny lives are very inconspicuous, but they are the cornerstone of the human body.

When is the closest modern man is to congenital? Not counting infants, then there are only two conditions that are closest to congenital. The first is when making * love, the instinct from the reproduction of the population will call for the joint efforts of all cells in the body, and the second is the moment of survival, the desire to survive will also stimulate all the cells of the human body to work hard at the same time, and the infant state can actually be classified in the second type.

Innate is the instinctive will of human cells, not a decision that has been distorted by layers of thinking, innate is straight, simple, pure, if there is anything in the weapon that can make people close to the innate and touch the innate , only the sword!

Yanagi Yuanhe's power originally came from the moment of awakening to the emotion of life itself, this emotion, mixing his human nature and instinctive animal nature, the acquired will of the brain and the innate will of the human body at that moment communicated with each other, regardless of each other, resulting in the wonderful bridge of inward vision. Subsequently, in the face of bullets, the moment of life and death crisis, the bridge became stronger and stronger, so there was such a thing as internal strength, in fact, it was not any internal strength, but the resonance state of the will of the whole body cells for survival was partially retained, and it became a seed, every time a part of the body tissue was awakened, this seed thrived.

Why does Liu Shengyuan feel that his internal strength is getting bigger and stronger, and he can even interfere with the internal operation of other people's bodies? Why did Liu Shengyuan and feel that he had encountered a bottleneck and was struggling recently, so he was so excited to see the drug instructions in the Jianhao Club?

That's because in a normal state, all the cells and tissues he can awaken have already been awakened, such as skin and muscles, while other tissues such as internal organs cannot be awakened, so Yanagi Yuanhe has a feeling that he has encountered a bottleneck.

Why can the drug help Yanagi and wake up the body tissues? Just like a person is sleeping, suddenly a needle him, he will naturally wake up and jump, the same is true for cells, when Yanagi Shengyuan and the practice of iron cloth shirts, under the stimulation of the drug, the skin tissue cells are temporarily stimulated to enhance their activity, but the internal vision state of Yanagi Shengyuan and can receive the signals sent by the skin tissue, timely replenish nutrition for the skin, sort out the structure, so that these cells have the capital to continue to be active, instead of falling asleep again.

Standing in the middle of the gym, Yanagi Motokazu gradually cut off his breathing, and on the surface of his body, the pores began to open, and the undetectable air exchange took place at the pores, providing oxygen to the body instead of the mouth and nose.

Silk, wisp, wonderful things happened.

The sword qi that I thought had dissipated, when Yanagi Shenghe closed his mouth and nose to breathe and used his pores to breathe instead, Yanagi Shenghe felt their existence again, it turned out that they had always been there!

As for why yesterday's 'sword qi' flew out two meters and disappeared, it seemed very simple to Yanagi Yuanhe at this moment. His full perceptual circle is about two meters, and the complete perceptual circle here refers to the range that can perceive everything without relying on hearing and touch, but completely relying on an intuition.

The lost sword qi was attached to the pores on the surface of the body, but it was too thin and faint, so that even in the inward state, Yanagi Yuanhe could not find it, and now, with the further concentration and purity of the spirit, Yanagi Yuanhe could feel that with the breathing of the pores, the sword qi was acting as a filter, allowing fresher air to be inhaled into the skin.

Liu Shengyuan's heart moved, trying to take the initiative to make other internal forces produce similar mutations, giving them concepts such as nourishing the body and immortality.

——— Neijin ignored him at all. As soon as the so-called mind moves, it will fall into the day after tomorrow, which is probably the case.

"Master, it's almost time, and we're about to go. Aoki looked at his watch and said softly.

Today is the first day of the martial arts final qualifiers, and Yanagi Motokazu's first match is held at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The martial soul duel was chosen at this time, mainly because there are six time zones between Tokyo and Paris, and during this time period, it is just right for the Asian Community Economic Circle and the European Economic Circle to watch the live broadcast more comfortably, as for the American Economic Circle, there is a gap of fourteen time zones from Tokyo, which is too difficult to adjust, and those who want to watch the live broadcast have to let them adjust their own schedules.

"Okay, let's go. ”

————————————————

The qualifiers are located on the west side of Tokyo, near a large sports complex in the suburbs.

Originally an abandoned amusement park, this is one of many large amusement facilities that closed down and abandoned during Japan's economic downturn.

However, with the recovery of Japan's economy, especially after the establishment of the Asian Community, Japan made a fortune as the window of the Asian Community to the world (mainly by shipping, Japan is the main hub of the Asian Community's maritime transportation), and the area of the Tokyo Metropolitan City has expanded again and again.

During that depression, the land in and around it was bought by the Japanese royal family and used as a special tournament venue for martial arts.

Now, 40 years later, this is a place where every inch of land is gold, and this investment alone can make the Japanese imperial family rich.

Not to mention, although it is not as expensive as real estate in a few particularly prosperous areas of the city center, it is also lined with high-rise buildings and countless hotels, which are designed to receive competitors and tourists from all over the world. It can be said that the large-scale event held once a year by the Martial Spirit Duel feeds the vast majority of people living in this area.

This is probably the place with the highest concentration of martial arts gyms in Japan, and along the pedestrian street you can see not only kendo gyms, judo gyms and karate gyms, but also various martial arts gyms in China, Thai boxing gyms, Indian yoga gyms, European fencing gyms and flail training halls.

Of course, there are also many women here, some of them are tourists, but there are also women who are muscular, with broad shoulders and thick backs, and it is difficult to distinguish the gender without looking closely at the face and Adam's apple.

Some women's chest muscles have reached, no one dares to judge, whether it is the chest muscles or **, it is said that the most popular hard-core handsome movie stars in the world now, one of them was discovered by scouts here.

And is also a lady, because she always plays a male role on the screen, and her image is particularly handsome, so everyone generally classifies her as a male star, this person once won the Oscar for Best Actor, creating a precedent for winning the Best Actor Award as a woman, and it is also her identity as a male star, since then, male and female stars are no longer distinguished by gender, but defined by the role played on the screen. The so-called "girl, you are really a good man" was originally used to describe this eldest sister.

Here, in addition to fitness and martial arts-related shops, there are also various cold weapon shops and protective gear shops, and it is said that whenever you want to shoot a world-class ancient war blockbuster, someone will always find a large number of extras, stuntmen and even supporting roles here.

In addition to several world-famous movie meccas, it is also one of the places where entertainers gather, mainly martial arts actors, of course.

Now, the former abandoned amusement park has been transformed into a sports complex, and Yanagi's vehicle is parked in the underground parking garage of a 15-story building, and the qualifiers are on the sixth floor.

Of course, in this building and several other buildings, there are an unknown number of competitions going on at the same time, after all, there are thousands of players from all over the world who sign up for the martial arts duel every year.

Thinking about the $100 million bounty offered to the champion, it is understandable why Martial Soul can attract so many people.

In this world, due to the tripartite economic centers of the Americas, Europe and Asia, the US dollar has not obtained the status of an international currency, but the US dollar, the euro and the red flag coin, and the exchange rate is basically stable, and there has not been much fluctuation for decades.

Basically, one dollar is exchanged for one euro for ten red flag coins, as for the yen, it is still a little unavailable, and it cannot be compared with the impact of the above three currencies, but the yen is anchored to the red flag coin, and one red flag coin is fixed for ten yen.

"Master Yagyu, Miss Takahashi, Mr. Aoki, please go this way. "Although Yanagi Yuanhe has been participating in the competition since the qualifiers, since he was introduced to participate in the competition through the way of the Sword Hero Club, he can naturally get more convenient services. At this time, a young and beautiful service staff is guiding them to the physical examination room, as a contestant, they must go through a preliminary physical examination, register their names or codes, and check that their weapons and protective gear meet the regulations before they can participate in the competition.

"Weighing 71.23 kilograms, the main weapon is a Japanese sword, unbladed, which meets the requirements of the competition, the armor is a special tortoise shell, and the outer cover is a protective kendo suit. The code name of the contestant - Black Mask. The number of points for martial arts is 0. Since there is a special passage, Yanagi Yuanhe did not delay any time, and quickly completed various physical examinations and registrations, and then there was a special person to lead him to the special lounge and wait for the start of the game.

——————————————

The competition venue used in the qualifiers is a 10 x 6 meter rectangular ring, which is different from the square ring of boxing matches, the ground of the ring is only ten centimeters higher than the indoor ground, and there is no guardrail around the ring, but the ground around the ring is protected by elastic rubber. As long as a player falls out of the ring, he will admit defeat.

The competition is based on a three-point system just like the Japanese kendo competition, but the three-point system here is different from the three-point system used in kendo competitions.

If one of the players hits the opponent's armor protection, 0.5 points will be deducted from the opponent, and if they hit 6 times, 3 points will be deducted from the opponent, and the opponent will lose and be out.

However, if you hit the opponent's unarmored part, it will be subject to the actual performance of the player, for example, if the opponent is willing to continue to fight with a fractured injury, then even 0.5 points will not be deducted, which is the first and second martial soul duels left by the original unprotected armor competition, because it can reflect the strong and unyielding of the warrior and enhance the visibility, so it is retained.

However, if the lethal part is hit, or if one side deliberately leaves the hand, the person who threatens the opponent's lethal part will still be judged to win, which can be played back and decided unanimously by the two referees present, and this is usually not disputed.

In addition to the on-site referees, there are more than three high-speed cameras with different angles working at the same time in each game, which is enough for the referees to accurately determine the results of the game in slow motion.

In addition to falling out of the ring, deducting points, being hit/threatening a fatal part, etc., the player's voluntary admission of defeat and the opening of the opponent or coach outside the court are considered valid judgment basis.

In the entire martial arts duel, the video copyright of each event belongs to the Japanese royal family, and the qualifiers are not paid, and they are at their own expense, but they can get 30% of the income from the video of the participating games sold, of which 10% goes to the loser, 20% goes to the winner, and if the two sides tie, they will get 15% of the income.

Players who pass the qualifiers will receive 40% of the live broadcast revenue before the round robin event in the top 32 groups. 15% goes to the loser, 25% goes to the winner, the draw is divided equally between the two sides, and the proceeds from the sale of the video are distributed in the same proportion. Each player who passes the qualifiers will receive free accommodation and meals until they are eliminated, and will receive a remuneration of 600,000 yen.

The top 32 group events are divided into 8 groups, each group of 4 people, round-robin competition, to determine the top two players in each group, specifically referring to the football World Cup group stage, to enter the top 32, regardless of the considerable media share income, the direct remuneration alone is enough for 10 million yen, which can satisfy most players.

And so on, the top 16, the top 8, and the top 4, until the final final, each time the player's income will skyrocket, and the final winner will directly receive a reward of 10 billion yen provided by the Japanese royal family, of course, you can also choose red flag coins, US dollars, and euros.

If you add the final winner's up to 40% of the final broadcast share, as long as you win the Wuhun Cup once, the martial artist can directly join the ranks of the world's richest people, it can be said that the martial soul duel is one of the most desirable events for martial artists in this era.

The loser will only receive a 20% share of the broadcast, and the prize money offered by the Japanese royal family has dropped off a cliff of 10 million US dollars/1 billion yen. Of course, the various advertising revenues received by the warriors themselves are not included, so even the losers in the finals are proper multi-millionaires or even billionaires (in US dollars).

As the organizer, the Japanese royal family's annual income from the martial arts finals alone is hundreds of billions of yen, even if the cost is deducted, it is at least a billion dollars in the interests of the unit, not to mention the surrounding interests and the entire image of Japan, as for the related gambling industry, it involves astronomical interests.

Therefore, under the impetus of such a huge interest, the emperor himself went out to award the martial soul cup to the final victor at each martial soul duel, which was the only commercial event that the emperor participated in every year.
