23rd, dusk.
When all 30 strong men competed, the crowd did not disperse, but stayed in place and continued to discuss the wonderful competition just now. And the 30 people also stood in the crowd and waited quietly.
After a short time, Oda Yoshinobu and Tsukahara Buden walked over slowly, which immediately attracted huge cheers.
"His Highness Shura!"
"His Highness Tsukahara!"
The cheers came and went, which represented the prestige of the two in the hearts of everyone, and also made the hearts of the other 30 people feel hot.
This is not because Oda Yoshinobu is the god of war of the Oda family, but because he gained fame after defeating Tsukahara Buden and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna successively! The fame in kendo has nothing to do with the samurai. And this is what all martial arts practitioners dream of. After all, no matter how obsessed you are with kendo, you can't want your name to be known to anyone.
People die and leave a name, and geese leave a voice. Even if it is buried under the loess, it still has a reputation that spreads around the world. In this world, who doesn't want to live forever? If there were such a person with a pure heart and few desires, he wouldn't have come to the tournament, would he?
Looking at these people, Oda Yoshinobu showed a legendary smile, turned his head to look at Tsukahara Bu Legend and said, "Lord Tsukahara, these are the backbone of the future kendo!" ”
"Hehe, they may be the backbone of the present, but not the future, the old man still has to try it himself~" Tsukahara Bu rumored and laughed.
"Haha~ Is Tsukahara-sama also itchy?" Oda Yoshinobu laughed when he heard this.
"It's been itching for a long time~ Since the defeat to you, the old man has not abandoned the cultivation of swordsmanship. Although the body is not good when they are old, if these people can't even beat the old man now, then they are not qualified to fight with His Highness Shura. Tsukahara Buchuan smiled heartily.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu said in admiration, "Tsukahara-sama is really proud of the past~"
This year, Tsukahara Buden is 77 years old, although Oda Yoshinobu doesn't remember the year the sword master died, but obviously, Tsukahara Buden at this time is already considered a super old family. Especially, it is above kendo. After all, this world is a normal world, there is no internal strength or secret skills, people are old, they are definitely weaker than young, this is an eternal truth.
How could Tsukahara Buden not hear the off-string sound of Oda Yoshinobu? In fact, over the years, his body has indeed deteriorated and deteriorated, but compared to it, his comprehension in kendo has become stronger and stronger, and vaguely, he seems to have touched the door of the legendary realm.
Originally, he was already desperate, after all, how could it be so easy to break through? Which one is not able to have an epiphany through the contest between life and death? And now that he is 77 years old, he obviously doesn't have so many opportunities to play life and death with others. Moreover, there are no suitable opponents either.
But now, he has found an opportunity, whether it is the mature Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, or Kitada Gukyo, who finally made a breakthrough in kendo, and Toda Shigen, who has not shown his true strength until now. These people are the opponents of his dreams.
Tsukahara Buden believes that as long as he fights with these people, he will definitely be able to break through that layer and enter a new realm!
Well...... Is there no Yoshinobu Oda? Well, Tsukahara Buchuan has completely understood in the time he spent with Oda Yoshinobu before, and Oda Yoshinobu's strength and realm have nothing to do with half a dime at all. Because when a person is stronger than you in terms of strength, speed, reactions, and all other physiological conditions, the realm? There's a fart!
Of course, Tsukahara Buden also admits that Oda Yoshinobu has reached a state that he can't see through or understand, but this realm is completely different from what he is pursuing. Well...... Maybe that's the difference between humans and monsters?
The two slowly walked to the venue of the martial arts competition, and at this time, the 30 players who advanced were also invited. After they lined up, Oda Yoshinobu walked to the front, looked at the tens of thousands of onlookers in the audience and the defeated contestants, and said loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now with me and Tsukahara-sama, the top 32 of the first tournament have all been decided! First of all, please give these 30 strong people some applause and cheers, because they are from thousands of strong people, not like me and Tsukahara-sama, who took advantage of their privilege to cut in line~" Oda Yoshinobu said loudly.
As soon as the words ended, the audience burst into violent applause, cheers and laughter. They didn't know what a host was, and Oda Yoshinobu had actually just spoken a few times. But just a few words, they completely liked Oda Yoshinobu's relaxed and interesting way of speaking.
Well, Oda Yoshinobu's presiding power is about 0, but don't forget that everyone's speeches in this era are all like textbooks. Well, no, it's all kinds of words that are more rigorous than textbooks! Where have you ever seen a style like Oda Yoshinobu that has been rotten in later generations?
His hands pressed down, and in an instant, the venue was silent. This situation immediately shocked everyone who paid attention to Oda Yoshinobu's actions. Because they could never have imagined that Oda Yoshinobu would have such an appeal in this group of people. You must know that in front of him, it is completely unorganized and undisciplined civilians and contestants.
"Alas, sometimes, this kid Oda Yoshinobu really makes people have to be jealous!" Oda Nobunaga, who was standing in the distance and watching Oda Yoshinobu, sighed.
"Hehe, isn't that normal? A person who can always bring light and joy to others is definitely much more popular than you, an old-fashioned person who keeps a straight face all day long, as if he can't stop staring at the dead. Nohime quipped.
"What?! When did I become old-fashioned?! I was called a big fool many years ago! Oda Nobunaga complained loudly when he heard this.
"Yes, yes! Old-fashioned big fool! Nohime said, and she couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, on the jousting platform, Oda Yoshinobu had a few more nonsense words that were too addicted to hosting, so that the Kagura Twins walked up carrying a large box, and at the same time, the two Shinigami carried a huge sign to the edge of the venue and inserted it on the ground. Everyone looked closely, but found that the names of Oda Yoshinobu and Tsukahara Buden had been written on the two corners of the billboard.
This is exactly the matchup chart made by Yoshinobu Oda. It's just that now except for him and Tsukahara Buchuan, the other positions are empty.
When the Kagura Twins put down the box and walked down, Oda Yoshinobu looked at the crowd and said loudly, "So now, let me talk about the rules of the finals." Hawkers, the other rules are still the same as before, but the two sides of the competition are determined by lottery. Now, it's the box in front of me, there are 30 notes in it, and if you draw a few numbers, it's a few numbers~"
"So, let's start smoking~" Yoshinobu Oda said, and gave up his position. Just looking at such a box, everyone didn't move, they stood in place, their expressions were solemn, and they didn't seem to want to be the first to smoke.
Well, this is also something that can't be helped, after all, compared to now, who would not be tempted by the title of the unparalleled sword saint in the world? But the problem is that in today's matchup table, Oda Yoshinobu and Tsukahara Buden have occupied two regional positions. In other words, no matter what area they are in, they may run into Oda Yoshinobu or Tsukahara Buden.
So, here's the problem, compared with Oda Yoshinobu, who is young and strong and has countless rumors, Tsukahara Buden, who is obviously 77 years old, is an opponent that everyone wants to meet more. Although it may seem disrespectful to Tsukahara Buden to think so, this is the truth. At the same time, in the final battle, competing with the strongest opponent is the most perfect ending in the heart of every strong person, isn't it?
Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, in fact, it's the same after the early draw, it's all up to luck~" Well, he really didn't say anything wrong, because he didn't move any hands and feet at all. Because...... No~
Hearing this, after everyone hesitated for a moment, Keiji Maeda strode up, "I'll smoke first!" As he spoke, he reached into the box and grabbed a note.
"Number 4!" One of the Shin Reaper shouted loudly as the Shinigami, standing in front of the sign, wrote Keiji Maeda's name.
"I'll go!" Keiji Maeda shook his head depressedly when he saw this, because Yoshinobu Oda was No. 1, that is, even if Keiji Maeda defeated No. 3, he still couldn't enter the finals.
With Keiji Maeda taking the lead, everyone stepped forward and drew their numbers. As a result, some people are naturally happy and some are sad.
"Well, everyone! All the contestants have drawn their numbers, and we will officially start the final competition on the 26th! Oda Yoshinobu said loudly, and then, he suddenly looked at everyone and smiled, "By the way, except for me, you can all go to the betting point to bet on the players you are optimistic about~"
"Boom!" With a bang, a huge wave almost overturned the venue of the martial arts competition. Of course, this is not a protest, but an excitement. After all, in this troubled world, there is no one who is not good at gambling. For a time, the betting spot was surrounded by water.
At the same time, Toda Segen and the others watched the back of Oda Yoshinobu leaving. Those eyes are not very friendly.
"Hehe, only you can't bet? Your Highness Shura, you are still so confident~" Kitada Gujiao thought with a chuckle.
