Gao Xianda was relieved to see that Badao was killed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info feel that a crisis has been resolved.

He felt that his use of a knife to kill people this time had a good effect.

But he didn't need to explain it to Kinoshita Tengjiro and them. He celebrated with a good meal and drink, and then went back to bed early.

The next day, he got up early and went to the competition venue.

Today is actually the official start of the Imperial Sky Tour, and the emperor and the shogun are all present at the scene, accompanied by many public officials. Ju Ting, an important minister of the imperial court, also stood up and gave a speech to the audience.

The next step is to let the top 32 players enter. After the selection of the preliminary round, there were only thirty-two swordsmen left among the many swordsmen who signed up for the Imperial Sky Tour. From now on, they will compete in the knockout rounds to determine the only winner.

The victor will not only be able to obtain the title of "the best sword in the world", but also a secret treasure treasured by the emperor. In addition to this, there is also the opportunity to become a general's art of war training.

Not only fame, but also benefits.

Of course, even if you don't win the final victory, if you perform well in the process of the competition, you are likely to be in the eyes of others.

There is only one winner, but there are many daimyo in all of Japan, and if they can be recruited back by the relatively big daimyos, they can be regarded as having a stable income.

It's a pity that according to the rules of the game, it is not easy to go back alive.

The top 32 is the official final, and everyone will not hesitate to fight to the death in order to get the final victory. So instead of wooden knives and sticks, they took out all the weapons they had at their disposal.

These are real swords, and they can be fatal when slashed on the body. Unless you admit defeat in advance, it will be really difficult for the loser to step down in a healthy way.

But these swordsmen have come to this point, and which one is willing to admit defeat? All of them were full of confidence and wanted to obtain the Emperor's secret treasure.

The thirty-two swordsmen were ranked from one to the thirty-second in the order in which they qualified for the top 32 yesterday. The competition is no longer played in the group order of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, but by the number one and the thirty-two, the second and the thirty-first competition, the first round of the duel, and then by the large and small trumpets to regroup the duel.

This is also a kind of protection for the players by the organizers, who win all three battles and are relatively fast, after all, are more powerful than the players who have won and lost, and finally advanced to points.

Although there may be an element of luck in this, luck is also part of strength.

So under the leadership of the staff, one by one the seeded players came out from behind. Every time someone comes out, someone will introduce him loudly and tell everyone who he is.

On the one hand, it is for the emperor and the shogun to understand them, and on the other hand, it is also to help them expand their popularity.

The No. 1 seed is naturally Kenjo Tsukahara Buden, and most of the players who fought against him were intimidated, so he advanced to the qualification as quickly as possible.

The name of his Sword Saint is famous all over the world, and everyone present has heard of it. However, there may be some viewers who have not seen him in person. Therefore, the audience below are all talking about it, saying that this old man is a fairy and a bone, and he deserves to be a sword saint!

And Gao Xianda admitted defeat because Negishi Rabbit Horn was dueling with him, and the organizer immediately arranged a strong player like Zhong Juan Zizhai for Gao Xianda when he thought he was deliberately releasing water, but Gao Xianda also quickly defeated him.

As for the third player, he is a rookie, so Gao Xianda turned out to be the second of these people to appear and get the status of the second seed.

So the staff introduced: This is the Imagawa clan of the Imagawa family, and he is practicing the martial arts of Katori Shinto-ryu.

When Gao Xianda signed up, he had not yet upgraded the "Sancai Flow Sword Technique", and this sword technique was born from the Katori Shinto stream, so there was no problem with reporting the Katori Shinto stream.

When Tsukahara Buchuan next to him heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Xianda.

"Boy, are you also my apprentice?" Tsukahara asked. He traveled all over the country, and there were thousands of named apprentices, and it was impossible to remember them all.

Gao Xianda nodded hurriedly, took out the seal letter, glanced at Tsukahara Buchuan, and said, "Yes, Master." I'm the Imagawa clan of Sunpu Castle. When you went to Suruga to open a branch library that year, I joined your door. Did you personally instruct me? ”

Tsukahara Buchuan took the seal letter, looked at it twice, then looked at Gao Xianda, and said, "Mmmm, I'm a little impressed." Hikogoro, right? Well, that's good! ”

When he said that, he just couldn't remember. The so-called impressions are all conclusions drawn by looking at the letters.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Gao Xianda is a disciple of Katori Shinto-ryu.

Gao Xianda just laughed beside him.

Tsukahara said: "You kid is a good match, if you can make it to the finals, I will pass on your mantle." I've been a Juggernaut for too many years, and I'm too old to value these false names. Katori Shinto-ryu's reputation should be taken over by you young people. ”

"Yes, Master!" Gao Xianda nodded hurriedly. It's a pity that this is a public place, and Gao Xianda can't kneel and salute.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning of Tsukahara Buchuan is already very clear, I am already old, if you really have the strength of the second in the world, I will let you be the first in the world. In addition, my secret skills can also be taught to you so that you can take over.

Of course, if you fail halfway through, don't think about it.

This is already the strongest words of encouragement that this old sword master can give. Although he had many apprentices, most of them were daimyos or military generals. There are few heirs who can inherit his mantle, and he is not satisfied with them.

Gao Xianda has not received much preaching from Tsukahara Buchuan, but if he can have such strength, then he is indeed a talent that can be created.

The No. 3 seed is a middle-aged man named Hidetsuna Ueizumi. Although his appearance is very ordinary, Gao Xianda knows that he is the founder of the new Yin Stream, and he will achieve the sword saint Kamiizumi Shintsuna above the Tsukahara Buden in the future.

It's just that he is still a military general, and he has not begun to vigorously promote his new Yin Liu, and his reputation is not big enough.

Gao Xianda was unexpectedly sandwiched between the two Sword Masters. But that's okay, according to this system, for a while, Gao Xianda and the two of them can't meet.

At this time, the fourth seed was announced, Yoshioka Constitution from Yoshioka-ryu in Kyoto.

Gao Xianda said in his heart: "The people are gone, and the seeds should be canceled, right?" ”

Who knows, at this time, a person followed the staff step by step, it was none other than Badao!
