The annual King of Fighters tournament is now considered the top event in the world of "The King of Fighters", since it was first held by Lucar in 94, it has now gone through three editions of the King of Fighters tournament!

As the strongest martial artists on the planet gather together, and then engage in fierce battles for the title of King of Fighters, after three years, the influence of the King of Fighters tournament has long surpassed the so-called World Olympics Games, after all, human beings are the kind of creatures who like excitement, otherwise violent sports such as boxing, wrestling, and Muay Thai would not be so popular. The King of Fighters tournament can be described as top-notch in terms of grade and publicity, especially the name of the first martial artist in the world has attracted countless fighters from all over the world to participate, so the fame in the world is getting higher and higher.

Although every King of Fighters tournament may have more or less accidents, those who are not there will not mind how desperate the fighters are or how sad the audience is, what they need to see is blood, violence and other exciting scenes.

In this case, the scene of the World Gang World Audition for the King of Fighters 97 Tournament held by the Sound Nest Organization in order to collect the combat data and genes of fighters from all over the World Lu Realm was extremely lively and spectacular.

Audition sites were set up by the Sound Nest in the United States, Europe, Russia, the Celestial Empire, South America, Southeast Asia and other places, and after brushing off a large number of fish belly teams that tried to fish in troubled waters or were too confident in themselves, more than 2,000 teams of three martial artists passed the initial audition.

Of course, for more than 90% of the teams to be second- and third-rate teams that swing up and down at the stage of 50% to 80% of the absolute field, there is still a knockout tournament to eliminate these guys before the official tournament.

**********************

And the country Tokyo

The knockout scene of the King of Fighters 97 tournament

"Master, it's so lively here, it seems that there are more people than in those two competitions" Athena Asamiya, who was sitting on the guest seat, looked at the more than two hundred teams around her, and couldn't help but say to Zhen Yuanzhai.

"This time, the organizers are very strong, and they offer huge bonuses," Zhen Yuanzhai said with some emotion. In fact, his news is correct, in order to give more encouragement and motivation to those martial artists to participate in the King of Fighters competition to collect combat data and samples, the Sound Nest organization has previously given the teams that participate in the knockout round through the audition even if they are eliminated in this round will be reimbursed for free round-trip expenses, and each person will be rewarded with 10,000 meters, and the team that joins the official King of Fighters competition through the knockout round will have a reward of 100,000 meters even if they fail in the first round, as for the guaranteed bonus for each round that advances, the more they will get. The champion is a total of 15 million meters of rewards, and won the highest honorary title of the King of Fighters, the king of fighters!

With this benefit and fame, it's no wonder that martial artists from all over the world are a little crazy about this King of Fighters tournament.

Of course, it is also a very cost-effective thing for the Sound Nest organization to obtain a large number of fighters combat data and related genetic samples just by launching a few vests and some money, after all, the Sound Nest organization, which is full of power in the world, is not short of such things as rice yuan, and under the operation of the business experts of the Sound Nest organization, the King of Fighters tournament may not be held at a loss this time, and it may even be able to make a small profit through broadcast rights, advertising and peripheral product licensing.

Liu Qi was also in favor of the Sound Nest organization's large-scale action, so after receiving the huge legacy and personnel of the Sound Nest organization, he let the King of Fighters tournament continue. Although Liu Qi has become the big boss behind the scenes of this King of Fighters competition, on the bright side, the new superpower team composed of Zhen Yuanzhai, Athena Mamiya, Liu Qi, and Wang Yuyan still follows the procedures announced by this King of Fighters competition, as an invited team to visit the performance of each team in the knockout round in a region, and by the way, show a hand in front of these hard-working and eliminated teams to let the other party know that the special invitation team of this King of Fighters 97 competition is not a parallel import. It is a real action for people to participate in the official competition without participating in the audition and elimination.

So in the morning, the superpower team and the hero team of the special invitation team in the Tokyo division of the King of Fighters tournament came to the knockout scene of the Tokyo division, watching those passers-by first-class martial artists work hard for an official invitation to the King of Fighters competition.

As Zhen Yuanzhai and his apprentices from the Celestial Empire, the atmosphere between the superpower team and several other special invitation teams in Heguo was not very close, and after coming to the open-air gymnasium as a knockout area, he only said hello to Kusa Zhijing and others on the surface, and then the two sides sat on their own special invited seats and watched the martial artists below fight to determine the rankings

After Athena Magong and Zhen Yuanzhai muttered a few words, they sat with Liu Qi and watched the martial artists fight.

Under the arrangement of the clones sent by the members of the sound nest and Liu Qi, hundreds of martial artists in the open-air stadium were randomly selected by the computer to divide into ten fighting arenas to fight, and the ten teams that qualified for the knockout round were determined to join the official King of Fighters competition.

After the knockout rounds were announced, the entire open-air arena began to compete fiercely, and the King of Fighters began to fight for prize money and the sake of fame, cheering and fighting.

The fights fought by at least 50% of these martial artists in the absolute field are almost like kung fu blockbusters in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are nothing in the eyes of Liu Qi and others. After all, according to the level, the members of the newly formed superpower team are at least at the level of the ultimate realm in the world of "The King of Fighters" (Zhen Yuanzhai shows the ultimate realm), even the most delicate and weakest Wang Yuyan and Ma Gong Athena are considered to have experienced a hundred battles, and have fought against enemies who don't know how many ways, and the performance of those guys who are fighting right now is barely eye-catching according to their opinion.

- The members of the organizing committee in charge of the King of Fighters competition will definitely cry when they hear it, and the martial artists who have reached 50% of the absolute realm are not weak in the world of "The King of Fighters", right? It's a good hand in any place or country.

Of course, according to Liu Qi's opinion, he is now performing below (?) These martial artists are about the same physical fitness as the Navy SEALs, and they are estimated to be inferior to the Navy SEALs in terms of killing skills and performance on the battlefield. So he simply ignored the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of others on the field from time to time, and directly talked and laughed with the two girls.

Even the protagonist's team's Cao Zhijing and Nikaido Red Pill were surprised, and then took a good look at Liu Qi himself before looking away, but the two didn't say anything about this situation, after all, it was none of their business.

This kind of blatant show of intimacy and double flying scenes, so that almost all the men present are inexplicably hostile to Liu Qi himself, this is a normal situation, watching the former and national popular singer Athena of the superpower team for two years and another beautiful woman sitting on the seat of the superpower team with a man with eyes to show affection, if it weren't for Liu Qi to let his subordinates take good care of those reporters, it is estimated that they should be on the headlines of major news in Tokyo tomorrow.

Nearly three hours after nearly 12 p.m. and starting at 8:30 p.m., hundreds of martial artists in the Tokyo region were also decided, with a total of 10 teams qualified for the King of Fighters 97 tournament.

Of course, Liu Qi didn't find any familiar people among them, and looking at the strength they just showed, it is certain that they are basically the kind of dragon characters, basically going to the King of Fighters competition is the kind of goods that play soy sauce or foil. However, although Liu Qi commented in his heart, the martial artists below who came out of the line would not think so, after all, the martial artists who have mastered at least 50% of the absolute level of the field have first-class characters in their respective circles.

"Alright, you've been given the right to participate in this tournament, and the official tournament will be held at Tokyo Stadium in five days, before that, let's welcome the two special guest teams from the Tokyo region to meet you," said a beautiful female host of the King of Fighters tournament to the ten teams that passed the preliminary round and those who had been eliminated, and invited the two guest teams in the special guest seats to come forward to meet the players.

Of course, these martial artists of the country have no opinions on the three protagonists of the three-time King of Fighters, and they don't even dare to have offensive glances, and they don't dare to have any opinions on Zhen Yuanzhai and Athena Asamiya of the superpower team who performed well in the first two King of Fighters competitions, but they have a big opinion on Liu Qi and Wang Yuyan who are standing on the stage.

Of course, Wang Yuyan, as a beautiful woman, and just a substitute, of course, not many people care too much about it, after all, comparing herself with a woman is a masculine person, and the Chinese people generally can't do it. But Liu Qi is different, if Liu Qi is a well-known martial artist who has participated in the King of Fighters competition before, forget it, but Liu Qi is a little-known figure, and he also openly talked intimately with two beauties on it just now, and watched the performance of himself and others, although Zhen Yuanzhai of the Zhilu Dao superpower team will definitely not add an incompetent contestant to the team for no reason, but before seeing Liu Qi's performance with his own eyes, these arrogant martial artists will not be convinced!

Of course, everyone is not stupid, and looking at the rows of tough security personnel around them, they will not make any moves, just with the idea of embarrassing Liu Qi a little later.

So as soon as Liu Qi came to power, he received a lot of scrutiny, disdain, suspicion, etc., which made Liu Qi, who had just kicked off the sound nest and was in a good mood, sink his face.

"Your sister, the tiger doesn't threaten you, I'm a sick cat," Liu Qi, who understood why he got this kind of treatment after a little thought, immediately scolded in his heart.

Fortunately, Liu Qi has not planned to seriously deal with these guys who look down on people, otherwise, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which is nervously guarding public security in Tokyo, estimates that there will be a lot of missing persons in the next two days. However, Liu Qi also made a decision, ready to wait for a good show to let these guys know how powerful they are.

"Now welcome two special teams to demonstrate to you," the blonde host, of course, could see that the eyes of the people below were not quite right with the atmosphere, but she still did not change her face and continued to maintain the atmosphere without a beat.

Then, two solid steel dolls with a height of about 1.8 meters and a normal human size were carried up by several security personnel of the King of Fighters competition, and then the stunned eyes of all the fighters participating in the knockout tournament were placed on the table with a "clang" from the guards, causing a vibration on the ground.

"This is a steel doll for the test of the specially invited team of the King of Fighters tournament, weighing up to 1,500 kilograms"

The host didn't say anything sensational or propaganda, just accentuated the words steel puppet and 1500 kilograms, and then looked at the hero team and the superpower team and said earnestly: "Next, please invite two people from the team to demonstrate for you."

For the host's words similar to letting people come out to perform, whether it is the three people of the protagonist team or Zhen Yuanzhai of the superpower team, they are all a little dissatisfied, but no one says anything.

As the champion of the King of Fighters tournament three times, Kusa Zhijing walked out of the team directly with a calm face, and then walked up to the steel doll and gently stroked the shoulder of the steel doll with his hand. The moment his hand touched the iron puppet, a pale golden fire directly lit up on the steel puppet's body, and in an instant, the golden flames spread all over the entire steel puppet, and then the golden flame flashed away, leaving only an iron puppet that had been unrecognizable.

Hiss~~

Everyone who saw the steel doll's current condition almost let out a gasp.

The steel puppet that had just been in the ring with a humanoid appearance and an indestructible appearance was now in a half-melted state! If everyone hadn't seen it with their own eyes and there was a comparison of the complete steel doll next to it, they would never have regarded this postmodern steel sculpture that seemed to have just been taken out of the steelmaking furnace as the intact steel doll next to it. It could be seen that Cao Zhijing was also satisfied with his performance, smiled slightly and said nothing, and returned to his team directly under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone.

"Not bad," Liu Qi secretly assessed Cao Zhijing's hand. In his spiritual senses, Kusakikyo itself is like a blazing fireball, giving people a scorching feeling as if facing the summer noon sun. And the hand that Cao Zhijing showed just now is really good, although the steel doll that Sound Nest took out for testing is not that kind of super alloy material, but it is also made of good homogeneous steel. Cao Zhijing just showed his hand lightly, and he directly melted this homogeneous steel, I have to say that this guy is worthy of being the protagonist in "The King of Fighters", and his strength is really good.

It is estimated that everyone is muttering in their minds what will happen if they are hit by this, obviously the consequences expected by everyone are not optimistic, this point can be understood by the thirty martial artists in the ten teams that have come out of the team.

"Wait a minute, I'll be replaced" Seeing the scene of Cao Zhijing, who had taken the lead before the game started, Liu Qi took the initiative to ask.

"It's okay, I'm more assured of your kid's strength" Zhen Yuanzhai, who was casually watching this scene on stage, was obviously surprised when he heard Liu Qi's words, and then nodded and said.

As for Wang Yuyan and Athena, who know the strength of their husbands, they are even less worried, even if they play on the court, they will not be inferior to Cao Zhijing's performance just now, and as for Liu Qi's BT, the two of them don't have to worry.

All the martial artists present looked at Liu Qi who came out, and even the three of them looked at Kusa Zhijing, Red Pill Nikaido, and Daimon Goro. As a superpowered team that has performed well in the 94 and 95 King of Fighters tournaments, the three of them still paid great attention, and Liu Qi certainly attracted their attention as a new face who appeared in the superpower team.

Crunch-Liu Qi stood about a meter away from the steel puppet and shook his hand slightly, accompanied by a burst of tooth-sore sounds between the dozens of transparent air nooses that urged the condensation of the "Ten Thousand Laws Root Wisdom Sutra" and the steel, the steel puppet that was originally on the stage turned into a super-large steel twist in the eyes of everyone.

Grunt~~~ This time, the audience swallowed their saliva directly, and looked at the newly baked extra-large steel twist after Liu Qi's shot, and then looked at the post-modern steel sculpture that was still steaming in the steel twist lace, and everyone's faces were a little complicated. Whether it is in terms of visual impact or strength, Liu Qi's strength is definitely not inferior to Cao Zhijing, which Liu Qi felt from the eyes of Cao Zhijing and the three of them from seriously looking at him.

"Well done," Zhen Yuanzhai couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Qi's amazing hand.

Liu Qi shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, and then directly started chatting quietly with Wang Yuyan and Athena Mamiya.

After seeing the demonstration of the two specially invited teams, the host also lost no time in promoting the King of Fighters competition, and asked the photographer who took the picture of the situation just now to save the video and then carry out publicity work in the next few days. As for the two specially invited teams, they also left the stadium directly after the demonstration, and then rested well to prepare for the official King of Fighters competition in a few days.

A few days later, twenty days after Liu Qi entered "The King of Fighters", the King of Fighters 97 tournament finally opened at Tokyo Stadium! (To be continued......)
