Chapter Seventy-Four: The Final Four
October 17th, the day of the kendo competition. The winners of the sixteen groups were cross-eliminated.
Shi Ziling's two matches still did not have any suspense, or won with a clean move, or the sword was not pulled out in the sheath, or the opponent was temporarily incapacitated but not injured, so he entered the top four of the kendo group so early.
If you can do this in the group stage because the opponent is relatively weak, but in the round of 16 cross-knockout rounds, everyone is a master who has won six games in a row, and there are almost no particularly weak mediocre players, but why are the process and even the result of these people playing against Shi Ziling exactly the same as in the group stage?
The onlookers present didn't understand, everyone was talking and speculating, when would Shi Ziling pull out his ice-breaking sword, when would someone let Shi Ziling use the second move?
Takeda Xuan and Guoxin have been secretly following the progress of Shi Ziling's martial arts competition, and it was really a bit unexpected that Shi Ziling could enter the top four of the kendo group so easily.
Takeda Xuan said: "Layman, this Shi Ziling's body technique is really too weird, could it be that he is also an illusion? Why can he ignore the opponent's attack and directly knock the opponent down every time?"
The Guoxin Layman's face was solemn, and he said: "As far as I know, the soul dementor of the 'Dead Night Gate' is nothing more than the magic of using the magic sound and magic eye**, but Shi Ziling seems to have applied this magic power to his body. ”
"The reason why he can ignore his opponents' attacks is because those opponents are only attacking his shadows. As long as he moves, his opponent will no longer be able to tell where he really is. ”
"This is indeed similar to the illusion of this religion. However, illusions are quite spiritually demanding, so my brother Wuqiu and I didn't use illusions in the group stage. First, you can preserve your strength, and secondly, you don't want to let potential opponents see the clues too early. ”
Takeda Xuan asked: "Then, according to the layman's opinion, will Shi Ziling's body method be effective after entering the top four?"
After pondering for a long time, the Guoxin monk said, "If it is a boxing group, the effect of this body technique should not be great. Because even if Shi Ziling can enter the top four, the top four masters at the bottom of the top four must be people with deep true yuan, and they don't rely entirely on their eyes to observe the opponent, sometimes they can clearly predict the opponent's next move just by relying on the traction of the qi machine. ”
"Although Shi Ziling's body technique can cause phantoms, it can not be turned into multiple fake bodies like me, and the other party still has enough time to adjust the countermeasures when encountering a real master. ”
"What about the kendo group?" asked Takeda again.
Guoxin said: "The people in the kendo group have weapons in their hands, and with their own True Yuan urging, the killing distance is much larger than that of their fists and feet, and once there is a mistake in prediction, I am afraid it will be difficult to make adjustments." This is also the reason why so many people in the kendo group can't take the second move in the hands of Shi Ziling. ”
"But when you meet a real master, things should be different. ”
"Judging from the top three in the last session, except for the Guiguzi of the Guigu faction, which is slightly weaker, Iga Rantaro and Yanagi Izumi should be able to see through Shi Ziling's shape-shifting and shadow-changing body method, and then it will be time to really test the true element of swordsmanship. How much strength Shiziling has, it should be clear at a glance at that time......"
On the side of the "Dead Night Gate", many disciples of the sect were overjoyed by Shi Ziling's easy victory.
The previous masters of the "Dead Night Gate" have never participated in the competition of the kendo group, and they can't imagine that as soon as Shi Ziling comes out, he will enter the top four so easily, and no one can catch Shi Ziling's unsheathed sword. From this point of view, Shi Ziling is really promising to enter the top three in the most rear.
Ikeda Teru couldn't close his mouth with a smile, Shi Ziling entered the top four of the kendo group so easily, and as the traditional strength of the "Dead Night Gate", it was just around the corner to enter the bottom three of the boxing group.
Even Baihua Nana and Kirithara Xiang didn't expect Shi Ziling to win so easily. They deeply felt in their hearts that the strength of this new master was really unfathomable, and they couldn't help but be more and more in awe of Shiziling.
At the end of the day, the final result was as expected by most people. In addition to Shi Ziling, the remaining three who entered the top four of the kendo group were the top three winners of the previous session, they were the first Igaliu Iga Rantaro in the last session, the second Yanagi Sect master Yanagi Izumi in the last session, and the third Guigu faction Guiguzi in the last session.
These four people will have the most decisive battle the day after tomorrow to determine the last place in the kendo group of this competition.
Shi Ziling was the first to end today's competition, and he did not leave early as usual, but stayed to watch all the duels of the remaining players. Kirithara and Hyakka Nana are always by his side.
Kirihara Xiang asked with a smile: "Door Master, I don't know if you will draw your sword in the duel the day after tomorrow?"
Shi Ziling looked at the two beauties beside him and said lightly: "It depends on the performance of the opponent, of course I hope that I don't have to draw my sword." ”
Kirithara Xiang and Baihua Nana glanced at each other, and they didn't quite understand the meaning of Shiziling. Since Shi Ziling has seen the true strength of the top four, he should already have the bottom in his heart, but why do he say "I hope I don't need to draw my sword"? Could it be that these three top three masters of the previous session are as vulnerable as everyone else?
Kirithara couldn't help but ask, "Does the door master think they are all vulnerable?"
Shi Ziling shook his head and said, "These three are all first-class masters, even if I don't draw my sword, it doesn't mean that their strength is very poor." ”
"What does the master of the door mean?" said Baihua Nanaqi.
Shi Ziling said: "I don't draw my sword, I just don't want to hurt people. My swordsmanship has not yet been perfected, and now I rely more on the 'shapeshifting' body technique to win. But with the strength and vision of those three, they should be able to judge where my true body is, so I have to compete in swordsmanship and true yuan. ”
"If you really compete with swordsmanship and true yuan, even if you can win, it will be difficult to not hurt people. The sword is ruthless, and too many people have died in the kendo group so far, and countless people have been seriously injured. I still think that the ten-year 'martial arts competition', as a martial arts event on Higashirishima, should not have so many casualties. ”
Kirithara Xiang and Baihua Nana were silent, they grew up on Higashiri Island since they were children, and they were deeply influenced by the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" to do their own thing, and they didn't care much about how many more people died than the martial arts. It's just that since Shi Ziling said so, they can't refute it.
However, they were still secretly happy in their hearts, because from Shi Ziling's words, they could hear that Shi Ziling was still very confident in the final four battles the day after tomorrow.
At this time, the general Oda Shin brought Oda Yasu, Shirakawa Tsuyoshi and others over to congratulate Shi Ziling on successfully entering the top four of the kendo group.
Oda Shin said with a smile: "The master of the stone gate is really a master of art and boldness! To tell you the truth, I was originally a little worried that it would be difficult for you to take care of both competitions, but I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so good, and you made it to the top four without bloodshed." It looks like you have a good chance of becoming the first player in the history of the 'Tournament Fight' to finish in the top three of both tournaments at the same time. ”
Shi Ziling said lightly: "The general has won the award, and the next competition will be more difficult than the other, but I will do my best." ”
Oda Shin smiled: "You don't have to be modest, I can see that your strength is indeed superior, and it is reasonable to enter the top three, even your female protector has entered the top 16 of the boxing group." However, her next opponent tomorrow is Fukumitsu Masa, the son of Fukuhanzo, and it looks like it will be a little difficult to make the cut. ”
"Anyway, your 'Dead Nightgate' has already made a big show this time, stealing the limelight on and off the field. After this 'Tournament Battle', the prestige of your 'Evil Night Gate' will definitely be greatly enhanced......"
