16. Strong hands gathered
Perhaps due to the impact of war, disease, and famine, the selection competition in Africa was unusually cruel, and each of the three places was full of blood.
In other areas, there are very few injured and disabled.
From the beginning to the end of the African regional trials, a total of 138 lives were lost in the ring, and this was only killed on the spot, and countless others were maimed, broken hands and feet, and died in the audience.
It can be said that the ring of the African KOF Tryout is stained red with blood, they may not have special combat training, they do not know the fighting skills, they only know how to kill the opponent in front of them! Even if it is to pay for it, it will not hesitate to pay for it. And what you get is just food that others throw on the ground and don't even look at it......
Therefore, after the video of the competition in Africa came out, the three major TV films, which had been keen to report and broadcast the video of the competition, had to give up reporting on the trials in Africa in the face of such a bloody image!
looked coldly at the three people who passed in front of him, his face, neck, arms, and thighs were covered with scars. Mahmoud was missing a whole bone in his throat.
Abner, who had already watched the video at the police station, naturally knew that one of his opponents bit his throat and tore it off, but in the end he survived, and his opponent was almost torn to pieces.
"Terrible opponent," Abner said to himself, but his body gradually became excited.
This is KOF, the world's top fighting tournament, which brings together the strongest and most terrifying fighters in the world.
……
One person in the top presidential suite, in which the luxury naturally does not need to be detailed.
After looking around the room, Abner threw himself on the bed and let out a comfortable moan!
Unfortunately, this pleasant enjoyment did not last long, and the knock on the door was heard in my ears.
Two teammates, Casper and Mike, appeared outside Abner's door with a thick stack of videotapes, and there was no need to think about it to watch the video again, observing the opponent's strength and looking for the opponent's weaknesses......
Although in the team, the two may not quite agree with Abner's captaincy. However, the strength of Abner is undeniable by the two!
The number of qualifiers this year is very different from previous years, and they are basically divided according to the population of each country and the number of masters in the opponent's country.
Among them, the United States, Russia, and China, as the three superpowers, all have three places;
The United Kingdom, France, and Germany followed closely behind, all with two places;
In addition, Japan, Egypt, South Korea, India, and Israel, all of which have only one quota;
The last one was given to Africa, which was eventually given to Mohammed. Bashir, Joseph. Lumumba, Dahir. Mahmoud got it.
……
As the day of the competition draws closer, all kinds of martial arts fans in Tokyo are gathering more and more, and tickets for the 32 matches have long been sold out, and a large number of martial arts fans who have not grabbed tickets are gathering in front of the Japanese government to protest every day.
In the face of this sweet annoyance, Japan had to crammy another 12,000 people into each game at the Tokyo Dome Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 spectators, and then urgently erected hundreds of huge screens in various squares, and the live broadcast of the games was carried out, which barely suppressed the disgruntled visitors.
The resulting popularity of the catering industry, the clothing industry, and even Japan's characteristic industries naturally keeps the Japanese government busy. Police officers have been given triple bonuses to patrol day and night, and have even hired a large number of members of the Yamaguchi-gumi to ensure law and order.
The number of participating teams staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo is increasing, and every day a large number of reporters and tabloid staff try to enter the top five floors to interview the participating teams. To this end, there are various methods such as sneaking in disguised as a hotel waiter, following the participating teams to try to enter, following the outgoing team members for interviews, and impersonating family members.
And the remaining thirty bearer invitations also have owners one by one, forming ten invited teams, and they also arrived one by one.
Last year's champion team, Kyo Kusanagi, together with his friends Goro Daimon and Nikaido Red Pill, formed the Japanese team;
Terry Bogard, his brother Andy Bogard, and his friend Muay Thai champion Dongzhang form the Hungry Wolves.
Ryo Sakazaki and his younger brother Robert. Garcia and his sister Yuri Sakazaki form the extreme flow team.
Clarke. Steele, Ralph. Jones and Colonel Hadilan's adopted daughter, Liana Hadilan.
Drunken boxing master Zhen Yuanzhai and his two apprentices, Athena Asamiya and Shibiquan Chong, form a superpower team.
A female martial artist team composed of Kagura Chizuru, Shiranui Mai, and King.
Kim Jiapan and his two disciples Chen Guohan and Cai Baojian formed the Korean team.
Last year's runner-up, Yagami An, and his two teammates, Kohei Iwai and Yuki Ishimoto, formed the Yagami team.
Billy, the king of sticks. Kane and his two team-mates, Blue. A special team composed of Mary and Ryuji Yamazaki.
The last of the mysterious teams, C· Y· The S-band trio is a hell band composed of Seven Flails from Japan, Sharma from France, and Chris from Sweden.
Compared with these 10 invited teams, the other 21 teams that stood out in the local selection competitions are much less famous.
Among them, after Abner carefully observed through the videotape, there were naturally many ruthless characters, and even a few teams were not inferior to him.
Muhammad of Africa. Bashir, Joseph. Lumumba, Dahir. Mahmoud is naturally among them.
Bi Hongjun, a 40-year-old Hongquan master from Guangdong, China, and his two friends Yuan Maocan and Liao Jiashi are also first-class players.
Also Abraham from Israel. Karis, Sibia. Although Muhammad and Yoni Zelnik look very ordinary, their killing aura is terrifying, and nine times out of ten they are terrifying masters from the army who are proficient in killing skills.
Muhammad of Egypt. Marcus, Ahmad. Whitman, McHamed. Temple's martial arts skills are also weird and extraordinary, and they seem to involve a mental aspect, making people collapse to the ground before they know it.
In addition, there are several teams whose combat power is also extraordinary, and Abner thinks that even if he goes up by himself, he can only fight half a catty or eight taels at most, and he may not necessarily win.
A total of 96 participants from 32 teams were of all kinds, with all kinds of personalities and temperaments, including three low-key Chinese teams and the angry team, who ignored the interview and concentrated on preparing for the competition.
There are also high-profile people such as the Japanese team Kusanagi Kyo and Nikaido Red Pill, who do not refuse to come to reporters and answer all questions.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition, and early in the morning, the three of them took a special car to the Tokyo Dome Stadium.
Here, 32 teams appeared one by one, the KOF competition opened, and the lottery ceremony officially began......
