Chapter 35: The Heroes Gather, the Race Begins!
October 7, 1954, morning.
A light rain in the morning brought a hint of coolness to the recent dry weather.
The sky is clear and bright, and the scenery is pleasant.
However, no one cares about this beautiful scenery, and the long-awaited world's No. 1 martial arts meeting is about to start today.
The world's first martial arts competition venue was originally an open-air football field, but for this competition, it was specially expanded and renovated, and at this time, it has changed greatly.
This venue is very huge, with a huge square in the middle, with ten large rings and a main ring, and all around, there are grandstand seats, which can accommodate 15,000 spectators!
At this time, there were not many spectators inside, less than 5,000 people, and just like that, all the disciples of the martial arts hall and the government police in Xiangjiang had been asked to maintain law and order.
These spectators are allowed to come in only after multiple screenings, many of them are journalists from various countries, as well as the escorts of the players, because the world's first martial arts will be a non-regular competition, and it is easy for players to be seriously injured and killed!
In the audience, it seemed very quiet, there was no noise, these people came to watch the game were asked not to speak loudly, otherwise they would be expelled, and the whole arena seemed silent and solemn.
Hong Zhennan stood in the center of the ring, the host of the world's first martial arts meeting was him, and after casually saying a few opening words, Hong Zhennan said: "The much-anticipated world's first martial arts meeting has officially begun, below, please enter the contestants!" ”
The rousing music sounded, and the first player began to walk out of the wide passage.
Gu Fei was the first player to walk out of the aisle, he was wearing a black martial arts uniform, his face was calm, and he walked straight to the contestant's seat.
At the same time, there were small voices of discussion in the audience.
"I heard that he is the first person in Xiangjiang martial arts, and he is also the first initiator of this competition."
"His novels are so well written, but I don't think well of him."
……
The second one who came out was the world heavyweight boxing champion Tusk, a black strong man who was not inferior to Ferranch in size, he provocatively glanced at Gu Fei, who had already sat in the fighter's seat, and then posed to the audience and the camera one by one to show his muscles.
"He is the world heavyweight boxing champion Tusk, one of the five favorites selected by the Western media."
"It is said that Tusk's average punch power is 600 kilograms, and the extreme punch power has reached 1100 kilograms!"
……
One by one, the contestants gradually entered, and the audience on the stage never stopped.
"Yapil, the number one master in Southeast Asia, nicknamed Dragon Slayer, set a record of breaking a thirteen-centimeter-diameter stone pile with one punch, and three years ago, he defeated the challenge of seven Muay Thai masters in one minute, which is the myth of Muay Thai in the world!"
"Huo Minghai, it is rumored that he is proficient in Baji Boxing, Splitting Palm, and Xingyi Boxing, he used to be the first guard of Principal Jiang, and he defeated the martial arts world of Treasure Island by himself, and is now the number one master of Treasure Island!"
"Valery, the strongest strongman in Soviet Russia and the king of wrestling, once killed an adult wild brown bear with his bare hands! The top five favorites selected by the Western media! ”
"Shiva, the great disciple of the Indian Living Buddha, the strongest master in India, you see that his hands are longer than the knees, the earlobes are huge, and they all hang down to the shoulders, this is the appearance of a saint, the appearance of the saint who has cultivated the ancient yoga boxing to the extreme!"
"Ring meat grinder, Andre, European Unlimited Fighting Champion, one of the top five favorites to win the championship as voted by the Western media."
"Minamoto, the contemporary martial saint of the island country, proficient in aikido, karate, judo, judo and other martial arts schools in the island country, kung fu, but also proficient in a variety of internal boxing, before the Anti-Japanese War, he was known as Dongfang Yuan, and entered China to learn martial arts."
……
One by one, the players kept entering, and in this competition, there were a total of 64 contestants, and it can be said that these people represent the pinnacle of human strength.
The audience on the stage looked at the contestants on the stage, and felt more and more that the trip was worthwhile, and this world's first martial arts meeting was enough to become a topic of conversation for their lives.
Gu Fei also saw his old opponent Ferranche, from the player's profile, Gu Fei learned that Ferranch used to be a professional heavyweight boxer, and was later defeated by Tusk, before leaving the professional boxing world to fight black boxing.
Suddenly, the audience on the stage was stunned for a moment, and then cursed loudly, it was really the last contestant to come out who was too old, and they felt that their IQ had been insulted.
"Who is this old man, and he can also participate in the competition?"
"Shady, this must be shady."
"How could he break through the special registration board made by the competition party with one blow, I want to complain!"
……
The reporters on the field even thought about the headlines of tomorrow's news, "The world's No. 1 martial arts meeting is full of shady scenes, and the seventy-old man is actually a contestant!" ”
You know, the wooden board to be broken through for the qualification is a hardwood board that is less than the size of a book but has a thickness of 4 centimeters, and the difficulty of breaking through is beyond imagination, and an old man can also penetrate it?
was scolded as an old man's contestant, claiming to be Zhong Nanzi, seventy years old, gray hair, gray eyebrows, and gray beard, but his complexion was ruddy, his skin was translucent, and his whole body was condensed to the extreme, and he didn't even react to the swearing on the stage.
It can be said that he doesn't hear, doesn't ask, doesn't listen, doesn't think, doesn't look, just immerses himself in his own world, as if he is integrated with heaven and earth, and is in a state of "heaven and man is one" almost every moment, transcending the mortal.
After Zhong Nanzi sat in his own contestant's seat, he didn't pay attention to anything else, just closed his eyes and recuperated, he came to participate in the competition, he was induced by the darkness, he felt that he wanted to break through that last step, and the opportunity was in the world's first martial arts meeting.
Gu Fei guessed that Zhong Nanzi was probably the number one master in the world, and the assistant once reminded Gu Fei that in this competition, the current strongest person in the world would definitely be there.
Gu Fei looked at Zhong Nanzi, this old man put more pressure on him than anyone present, he once entered the state of "unity of heaven and man" when he realized the boxing technique on the top of the snow mountain, he knew very well the strength of this state, Gu Fei had a feeling that this Zhong Nanzi was his biggest enemy!
It's just that except for Gu Fei, few contestants can feel the strength of Zhong Nanzi, and most of them feel that this is a shady scene like the audience, and there are many discussions!
"Quiet! Whoever makes any more noise, I'll ask the maintenance staff to ask you out! This Zhongnanzi player can participate, naturally through the requirements, our world's first martial arts club, there is no shady! If you don't believe it, just look at the next game, I believe that none of the players here will show mercy to this Zhongnanzi player! Hong Zhennan shouted into the microphone, he has been practicing for many years, full of energy, and his voice burst out, like muffled thunder, constantly echoing in the arena.
The audience is right when they think about it, these people are the strongest martial arts masters in the world, and the competition party has no ability to buy them at all, this old man is looking for death when he goes up. After figuring this out, the audience quieted down, but they were still more or less dissatisfied with the game.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of many players when they looked at Hong Zhennan, this fat host turned out to be a master!
After that, Hong Zhennan announced the following rules, the players played in pairs, and the winner entered the next round!
Miss Manners took a ball of the same size with 32 names written on it and put it in the box.
The players who did not write the colored balls took turns to draw, and the drawer was compared to whoever drew it.
The 32 people who were not included in the color ball were considered strong by the organizer to avoid mutual loss in the first round.
The draw process passed quickly, with five rings competing at the same time, and the 32 matches of the preliminary round were over in just seven rounds. The semi-finals will be played in a week.
About half an hour later, after the random draw was completed, Hong Zhennan took the list of five pairs and said: "Zhong Nanzi and Miyamoto Xiangshan are invited to the No. 1 ring, and Shiva and Osar are invited to the No. 2 ring...... Cruz, Adelaide, please to ring 5! ”
Although there are people standing in all five rings, the most eye-catching is the No. 1 ring in the center.
Miyamoto Zoyama is an island sumo wrestler, weighing 370 kilograms, 2 meters tall, and with a waist circumference of nearly 2 meters, he is the heaviest and strongest sumo wrestler in the island country!
Only 1.7 meters and weighing only 70 kilograms, the old guy Zhong Nanzi is in front of Miyamoto Xiangshan, like a baby, no audience thinks that Zhong Nanzi can take the slap from the world's No. 1 martial arts player with the heaviest weight!
The ten players were all in place, Hong Zhennan waved his hand, and a loud bell rang, and shouted at the same time: "Begin!" ”
