While many people were still immersed in deep shock, when all the disciples of the "Dead Night Gate" and the Triple Society were cheering for the victory of Shiziling, the chief master of ceremonies of the martial arts tournament stood on the high platform and announced loudly: "Her Majesty the Empress has driven to the ......"

Hearing the arrival of the empress, the representatives of various schools in the martial arts arena slowly quieted down, and everyone knew that after all the competitions of the Lu Dao kendo group were over, according to the custom, Her Majesty the Empress should personally award the title of the strongest samurai to the top three masters of the most Lu Dao.

Among them, the first place in the final of this kendo group will not only get the title of the strongest warrior, but also get a jade ring treasured by the royal family. This ring is not only priceless in itself, but also symbolizes incomparable glory, if any sect gets this ring, it will be carefully enshrined as the treasure of the town.

After a solemn ceremony, Shi Ziling received the jade ring from the elderly empress, which symbolized the strongest swordsman on Higashiri Island. The audience cheered, and everyone thought that Shi Ziling was the strongest swordsman who deservedly deserved.

The empress said: "I heard that the Lord of the Stone Gate has two competitions in this martial arts competition, and both have reached the semi-finals. I wonder if your boxing skills are as powerful as your kendo?"

Shi Ziling didn't expect that this white-haired old royal lady would also care about the specific results of the competition, so he was slightly stunned and replied: "Shi Ziling also has some research on boxing. In fact, I usually have more empty hands against the enemy, thank you for your concern. ”

Her Majesty the Empress looked at least eighty years old, and she seemed to be very interested in Shi Ziling, feeling that this young man looked more like an ordinary person than the previous winners, and he did not have that kind of fierce and fierce aura, but his tall and strong posture still showed a bit of the temperament of a kendo master.

The empress said with a smile: "The emperor will go to watch the competition of the boxing group tomorrow, and by the way, award awards to the winners, and hope that the master of the stone gate will have a good performance." ”

Shi Ziling was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the martial arts competition is fierce and bloody, and the martial arts arena is very noisy, I am afraid that watching such a competition will not be good for Your Majesty's health, right?"

General Oda Shindai on the side smiled and said: "You don't know the Lord of the Stone Gate, Her Majesty the Empress also practiced boxing when she was young, and she is quite attained. It's rare that she is interested in watching this boxing group competition, you have to work harder, don't let down the good intentions of Her Majesty the Empress. ”

The Empress smiled, "I heard that tomorrow you will face the Fruit Heart Monk who can use illusions. This person's illusion is incredible, and he is indeed a genius. I'd love to see what happens to you, the strongest kendo, against the master of illusions. ”

"The competition in the boxing group is not like the kendo group, where there are people on the spot at every turn, and I, an old lady, should be able to stand it if I watch one or two games, haluhaha......"

Shi Ziling originally thought that he would kill Guoxin Jushi tomorrow, but he was a little embarrassed to hear the empress say this, so he could only give up his hand and say: "Shi Ziling will definitely do his best, I hope I will not disappoint the good intentions of Her Majesty the Empress......"

October 20th, Double Day, the last day of the final battle of the boxing group, is also the last day of the tournament.

Originally, everyone was looking forward to the last day of the ten-year martial arts competition, and after hearing the news that Her Majesty the Empress would come to the scene to watch the showdown of the top four players this time, everyone was even more excited.

In previous tournaments, the Empress would only show up to present the award after all the events were over, and would not come to watch the specific events. I didn't expect to make an exception this time, which was really unexpected by everyone.

Although the actual power of the country was in the hands of the three major generals, all the people still had great respect for Her Majesty the Empress, and every large-scale event attended by the Empress was crowded with thousands of people.

Representatives of all major factions on Dongli Island had already gathered to participate in this martial arts competition, and now that they heard the news that the empress was coming, even ordinary people hoped to enter the martial arts arena to see what was going on.

And with the news of the empress's imminent arrival, ordinary people were also very concerned about the outcome of this martial arts competition.

The news that Shi Ziling won the top of the kendo group in one fell swoop yesterday has long been heard on the streets, and I heard that he will also participate in today's semi-final battle, and everyone is very concerned about how the new master of the "Dead Night Gate" will perform.

And the "Dead Night Gate" is really in the limelight this time, in addition to the door master Shi Ziling who has two groups and has reached the semi-finals, and unexpectedly killed the previous leader Iga Rantaro with a "True Yuan Sword", the female protector Sakura Shinmi in the door also entered the semi-finals of the boxing group.

Such an achievement has greatly increased the prestige of the "Dead Night Gate", and it has become the most popular sect on Dongli Island in one fell swoop.

Many admirers of Shiziling have come to the main altar of the "Dead Evil Night Gate" and the Triad Society to ask to join, hoping to learn the essence of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" martial arts. All the disciples of the "Dead Evil Night Gate" and the Triple Society were also extremely excited, and the "Dead Evil Night Gate", which had been somewhat lonely and lonely over the years, finally ushered in a turnaround.

However, for today's semi-final showdown, Ying Xinmei and Shi Ziling still feel a little troubled.

Shi Ziling originally thought that he would kill the killer in the duel with the Guoxin Layman and get rid of this demon of the Yan Ming Sect in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Her Majesty the Empress to suddenly propose to come to watch the competition, and between his words, he seemed to appreciate the illusion of the Guoxin Layman. In this way, if he still lets go in the competition, he is afraid that the bloody scene will frighten the elderly empress.

And although Sakura Xinmei won after a series of hard battles the day before yesterday, she also greatly damaged her vitality, and she was also poisoned by the heart-destroying palm, although it is no longer in trouble, but it is still far from returning to her usual best state.

Sakura Xinmei not only wants to perform when the empress comes, but also suffers from the fact that her body has not recovered at all, and she doesn't even have half of her usual skills, so she can't help but feel very distressed.

Her opponent is the No. 1 Fukuhanzo in the last session, even if she is not injured at all, with her strength there is no chance of winning at all, but she always wants to fight again to see if she can create another miracle.

Kirithara and Baihua Nana persuaded Sakura Kokomi to give up many times, but she always hesitated. Now when I heard the news that the empress was coming to watch the competition, I couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart.

Shi Ziling saw the entanglement in her heart and said: "Xinmei, you fought too fiercely in the two battles the day before yesterday, and it consumed too much of your body, which has already hurt your vitality. You can't recover completely without ten days and half a month of good recuperation. ”

"I understand that the opportunity to compete in martial arts once every 10 years is rare, but I always feel that physical health is more important. ”

"If you fight on your own, not to mention that you have no chance of winning, even if you win reluctantly, you will inevitably fall ill or suffer, and it will have a great impact on your continued progress in the martial arts in the future. I have said many times that the first and second in martial arts is just a temporary name, and whether you can discover your potential and experience the wonderfulness of life is the most important thing. ”

Sakura Kokomi said, "Does the master of the door mean that he wants me to give up the duel with Fukuhanzo?"

Shi Ziling said: "I just put forward my opinion, the final decision is still up to you, I will not force you to give up or fight as the master of the sect, you can weigh the pros and cons yourself." ”

Sakura sighed softly and fell into deep thought......

Decisive Day.

In the martial arts arena, the voices were full of voices, and the representatives of the major schools were looking forward to the duel of the martial arts competition held once every ten years to start soon. When Her Majesty the Empress, along with Oda Nobu, Tokugawa Shu and Takeda Gen, walked into the VIP stands, the audience stood up and saluted.

Her Majesty the Empress seemed to be in high spirits, waving to the crowd chanting her name.

The third place in this year's kendo group, Yanagi Izumi, and the eldest son of Fukuhanzo, the first place in the previous boxing group, Fukuman Masanori, accompanied the empress and several generals, and was responsible for explaining and analyzing the duel between the four masters today.
