Chapter Seventy-One: A Confident Prediction

Oda Yasu found Nana Hyakuka and told General Oda Shin about his worries about Shi Ziling's double competition.

After hearing this, Baihua Nana smiled and said, "You want me to persuade the sect master to give up being a two-game player, if you don't have confidence in my family master, why do you want us to join forces to deal with the 'Yan Sect'?"

Oda Yasu hurriedly said: "Of course we have a lot of confidence in Shi Gongzi. It's just that this two-game game is too draining, and although there are people trying every time, no one has ever succeeded. The 'Dead Night Gate' has never been known for its sword skills, so why should Shi Gongzi waste energy and true yuan in the competition of the kendo group?"

Nana Masasei said: "Mr. Oda, the master of my family, is a genius of the heavens, and he is in two competitions precisely to revive the prestige of my 'Dead Night Gate'. You also know that although we have not yet publicly declared war with the 'Yan Sect', we are already on the verge of breaking out. ”

"The master of the sect must be to exert his might in this 'martial arts competition', in order to improve the morale of our disciples, to defeat the sharp spirit of the 'Yan Ming Sect', and to lay the foundation for the decisive battle between the two major sects in the future. ”

"How can such an important decision not be carefully considered?"

Oda Yasu hesitated: "In this way, Shi Gongzi is actually sure to win in both competitions at the same time?"

Baihua Nana thought for a moment and said, "There is no doubt that the master of the sect will win the first place in the boxing group. As for the kendo group, I think the top three are still sure, but as for whether they can go further, we'll see when the time comes. ”

Oda Yasu couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Nana Baihua's confident appearance.

Since the beginning of the competition, there has never been a master who has achieved good results in both competitions at the same time. Baihua Nana is not only convinced that Shi Ziling won the championship in the boxing group, but even the top three in the kendo group are quite sure, looking at her words, and even wants Shi Ziling to win the championship in two events.

"This, is this possible? Although Shi Ziling is powerful, after all, he is only flesh and blood, how can he have such strength at a young age......

October 11, a single day, is the first day of the official competition of this tournament and the first day of the kendo competition. Players from all walks of life gathered in the martial arts arena on the eastern outskirts of Edo Castle to begin a brutal knockout match.

Shi Ziling came to the martial arts arena alone, sat down in an inconspicuous corner, and quietly waited for his time to play.

Baihua Nana and Kirithara Xiang wanted to bring some more disciples to cheer for Shi Ziling, but they were rejected by Shi Ziling. Now that the battle between the Dead Night Gate and the Yan Sect was about to break out, he didn't want his subordinates to spend their time cheering for themselves, but hoped that they would step up their practice and prepare for the upcoming fierce battle.

Nana Baihua, Kirithara Xiang and others expected that Shi Ziling would definitely win in the group stage, and since he didn't want anyone to follow, he would follow him.

Shi Ziling observed that most of the contestants who participated in the kendo competition on Dongli Island used long knives, which they also called "swords". However, compared to the ordinary swords of the Bright Moon Continent, this long blade has a longer blade, a certain arc, and is also heavier and more ferocious.

In addition to the fact that the most people use long knives, there are also many people who use short knives and long spears.

Short knife hands generally have a very fast body, like to attack close to the enemy when they are facing the enemy, and if they don't shoot, they will take it, and a shot is almost a life-and-death situation, which is a rather dangerous way of playing. On the other hand, the pikeman is the opposite of the short knife hand, always keeping the opponent out of the range of the spear, not allowing people to get close easily, and if they are approached, they will often be defeated.

In addition, there are also some people who use some Qimen weapons, such as chain hammers, hand guards hooks and sword crutches, etc., and even some people cast hidden weapons as soon as they come up, which makes Shi Ziling very strange.

Those who use hidden weapons do not confront their opponents head-on at all, and as soon as they come up, they will split their heads and cover their faces and send darts and silver needles indiscriminately, so that many players wear a shield to defend themselves when they first come on the field, and only after making sure that the opponent is not a master of hidden weapons will they put down the shield and begin to concentrate on the sword competition.

Shi Ziling shook his head when he saw it, thinking to himself, how can even a secret weapon master be regarded as a kendo group?

After a few competitions, Shi Ziling has already seen some doorways. Unlike most of the martial arts competitions in the Bright Moon Continent, the competition of the kendo group here is an absolute duel of real swords and real guns, and anyone is merciless, and many games end with the tragic death of the loser.

Before a few matches were played in the arena, several people had already been defeated and killed, and from time to time dead bodies or seriously injured people were carried out of the arena. However, although the family and friends of the defeated were sad, they did not seem to be too sad, and few of them cried, as if they felt that it was normal for them to die in the martial arts arena as a kendo cultivator.

Those who win usually do not leave immediately, and most of them stay in the arena to continue watching and studying other people's competitions.

Shi Zi took a cursory look and didn't find any particularly powerful masters, but he admired the enthusiasm of these players. Even if many people are injured and eliminated, they still don't want to leave, but continue to stay and watch other people's duels. When you watch it, you will directly imitate the movements of the masters on the field.

It can be seen that the martial arts competition held every ten years is a rare event in the eyes of these martial arts cultivators on Dongli Island, and it is also an excellent opportunity to learn and improve their cultivation attainments.

In addition to the contestants, the various sects will also send many elite disciples to observe and discuss, although each duel is filled with the smell of blood, but everyone does not care about it, but is crazy to participate in the study of martial arts.

Shi Ziling was quite touched, and felt that although such an atmosphere was cruel, it was also a good experience for a person who was inspired to devote himself to martial arts. Although it is a group stage, every matchup, regardless of whether the winner or the loser has done their best, will be sincerely respected by everyone.

It's no wonder that Sakura Kokomi felt honored when she was chosen as the representative of this gate, and although it was unlikely that she would be in the top few with her strength, she was still determined to give her all and treat every competition as a battle of life and death.

Shi Ziling himself is also a martial arts idiot, although the strength of these players in front of him is far from his own, but he has a sense of recognition of their enthusiasm for dedication. He immediately decided to let his disciples and disciples also come to watch this grand event once every ten years after he went back, hoping that they could gain some understanding and improvement in this cruel atmosphere of confrontation.

When it was Shi Ziling's turn to play, the morning game was almost coming to an end, and it was almost time for lunch.

Many of the contestants came with food, and those who won had a game to play in the afternoon, so many simply ate in the martial arts arena. Even those who lost were not too seriously injured still stayed to watch the competition. The martial arts arena was full from beginning to end, and the atmosphere was always quite warm both on and off the field.

Shi Ziling used the icebreaker sword he carried, this icebreaker sword has not been used many times since he picked it up in the Yu family in the countryside, more often Shi Ziling still likes to fight the enemy with his bare hands, and sometimes he doesn't even bother to carry the icebreaker sword.

His opponent used a spear, and as soon as he got on the field, he put on a stance, showing his determination to not let Shi Ziling have a chance to get close.

Since they heard that Shi Ziling was the new master of the "Dead Night Gate", many representatives of the small sect gathered around the venue where they were dueling, wanting to see what kind of stunts this young sect master of the first-class sect on Dongli Island would perform.
