After a solemn ceremony, the Empress personally conferred the title of "the strongest samurai" on the top three of the martial arts group of this tournament, Shi Ziling, Fu Hanzo and Sakura Xinmei.

In the cheers of all the martial arts representatives in the audience, the empress awarded the jade ring symbolizing the strongest martial artist to Shi Ziling, which was the second jade ring he had received in two days.

The empress said: "Shi Ziling has two competitions, and both easily won the first place, there has never been such a precedent in the history of our Dongli Island country, this emperor specially gives you the title of first-class noble warrior, and you will always enjoy the royal wealth." ”

"From now on, your 'Dead Night Gate' will be included in the samurai level of the exclusive sect of this dynasty, and the disciples of the sect can enjoy the samurai salary. I hope you can teach your disciples well and cultivate more loyal master warriors for the martial arts world of my East Fence Island......."

Many disciples of the Dead and Evil Night Gate couldn't help but be ecstatic when they heard the empress so reward, and from then on, the descendants of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" were no longer the common class, and their families could also enjoy the glory of the samurai class.

The samurai class in Higashirishima was hereditary, which meant that the descendants of many of the disciples in the future could also inherit the name and fortune of the samurai. Such a big reward is really beyond everyone's expectations.

In this tournament, only the empty gate of Fu Hanzo is the real exclusive sect of the samurai, and the other sects, large and small, regardless of their strength, are still only the civilian class.

All the disciples of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" were overjoyed, and knelt down to thank the empress in unison, only Shi Ziling was a little unimpressed. He himself had no intention of staying on Higashirishima for a long time, and he didn't value these rewards, but just bowed to the empress, which was considered gratitude.

As everyone knows, although his title of first-class aristocratic samurai has no real power, in terms of rank, he is at the same level as great generals such as Oda Shin and Tokugawa Shu, and he enjoys exactly the same salary. There has never been a martial arts master in the history of Dongli Island who has achieved such high glory and status. Seeing Shi Ziling's indifferent appearance, the two generals couldn't help but shake their heads again and again.

At this point, this year's martial arts competition finally ended successfully, and Shi Ziling, the master of the "Dead Night Gate", easily won the first place in the two events of the boxing group and the kendo group.

His protector Sakura Kokomi also entered the top three of the boxing group, and the traditional first-class sect Yan Ming Sect was uprooted and completely eradicated by the military horses of the "Dead Evil Night Gate" and Oda Shin, which further highlighted the strength of the "Dead Evil Night Gate".

Coupled with the empress's consecration, the "Dead Night Gate" has since become an exclusive sect of the samurai rank, and Shi Ziling is even more noble and noble, at the same level as the three generals.

After the master of ceremonies announced the official end of the martial arts competition, the empress and several generals withdrew one after another, but the representatives of the martial arts of various factions in the martial arts arena did not disperse immediately, but came to the stone tomb in turn to congratulate him.

Due to the large number of sects, Shi Ziling greeted them one by one, and couldn't help but feel even more tiring than when they competed in martial arts. There are also many large and small gangs that have expressed their willingness to attach themselves to the "Dead Night Gate", hoping to become the subordinate gangs of the "Dead Night Gate".

Shi Ziling knew that this was a good opportunity for the "Dead Night Gate" to expand its power, but he could not be in a hurry, so he could only let these gang leaders temporarily contact Ikeda Teru and Baihua Nana, and wait to find out the situation before deciding whether the two sides had the possibility of long-term cooperation.

Of course, there are still many independent martial arts enthusiasts who want to devote themselves to learning under Shiziling, and many of them are women. Many people knelt in front of Shi Ziling and were reluctant to get up, which made Shi Ziling have a headache.

Shi Ziling said: "You should know that our 'Dead Night Gate' has just been canonized as an exclusive sect for samurai by Her Majesty the Empress, and as far as I know, all the official disciples of my sect will be registered and naturalized by the official family in order to enjoy the glory and glory of the samurai, so it should not be possible to recruit new disciples for the time being." ”

"However, if you are sincere in wanting to join my discipleship, you can report your origins and other circumstances to our main altar at a later date, and our Dharma Protector or Hall Master will review and make a decision based on your potential or specific circumstances. ”

"As for the men, please go to the main altar of the Triumph and find the hall master or helmsman there. In a word, whether it is joining the "Dead Night Gate" or the Triple Society, what I value most is your character, and the second is your qualifications. If you don't feel like you're a good person, it's better not to join our faction. ”

"My dementor ** is the best at recognizing people, if I see who is not a good person, not only will I not accept you into the club, but I may also have to punish you, you can think about this clearly. ”

These people also understand that it is not so easy to join the "Dead Night Gate" or the Triple Society all at once, and it is already very good that Shi Ziling did not refuse at once. Since Shi Ziling had already said that he could go to the "Dead Night Gate" or the main altar of the Triad Society to sign up, everyone no longer knelt in front of Shi Ziling, and got up and dispersed one after another.

Finally waited for the crowd to disperse, and it was almost dark, Baihua Nana and Kirithara Xiang reported to Shi Ziling the process of exterminating the Yan Ming Sect, Shi Ziling was very satisfied, and then returned to the main altar of the "Dead Night Gate" with many disciples.

At this time, all the disciples of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" and the members of the Mie Society had already learned the good news that the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" had been canonized by the empress as an exclusive samurai sect, and everyone gathered at the gate of the main altar of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" to wait for the return of Shiziling.

As soon as they saw Shiziling bringing people back, everyone came out early to greet them and knelt on the ground in unison.

Shi Ziling was a little surprised to see that so many disciples came out to greet him, and saw that everyone knelt in the dark, and was about to let them get up, and the people around him, Nana Baihua and Sakura Mikirihara and others also knelt on the ground together.

Shi Ziling exclaimed: "What's wrong with you, all kneel on the ground together, hurry up." ”

Nana Baihua said: "The master of the sect has won the battle in the martial arts competition this time, which not only greatly increased the morale and prestige of our 'Dead Night Gate', but also made this sect canonized as an exclusive samurai sect by Her Majesty the Empress, and from now on, our disciples will officially become the samurai class, and our family descendants will also become a part of the samurai class." ”

"The great kindness of the Lord of the Gate has recreated us, and it has also made us and our families jump from commoners to the samurai class, and the great kindness of the Lord of the Gate will never be forgotten by the disciples. Thank you, Master!"

After saying that, Baihua Nana and Sakura Shin Mi Kirihara and others took the lead in solemnly thanking Shiziling for coming, and all the disciples also followed them to thank Shiziling for their kindness.

Shi Ziling couldn't imagine that they took the empress's canonization so seriously, and couldn't help but cry and laugh. I secretly thought that you were so grateful to Dade after you were promoted to the samurai class, so wouldn't I be even more grateful to the empress for being named that first-class noble samurai.

Shi Ziling shook his head and said: "This is the grace of Her Majesty the Empress, you don't have to thank me, just thank the Empress, everyone get up quickly." ”

Sakura Xinmei said: "If there is no Sect Master, how can we have today's scenery at the 'Dead and Evil Night Gate', and how can we, the hard-working female disciples, have today's glory." We can't repay the kindness of the master of the sect to us, no matter what the master needs us disciples to do, we will do our best to serve the master of the sect, even if we go to the soup and die!"

Shi Ziling smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, I understand everyone's intentions, let's get up." I was very uncomfortable with such a large number of people kneeling in front of me. ”

Sakura Xinmei and Kirithara Xiang both knew Shi Ziling's temper, and they knew that he didn't like everyone to be too polite, and they finally led everyone to stand up after thanking Shi Ziling again.

Afterwards, Shi Ziling led the "Dead Night Gate" and some of the main backbone members of the Triple Society into the main hall to discuss the next expansion plan of the sect, and the rest of the grassroots disciples let them disperse happily.

Due to the large number of martial artists who wanted to join the "Dead Night Gate" and the Mie Society, Shi Ziling discussed with several Dharma Protectors, Ikeda Teru and others about the principle of expanding the staff, that is, the quality of the person must be put first, and then the qualifications of the person.

If it is indeed an excellent talent with good character and potential, it is still necessary to recruit as much as possible, after all, this will be very beneficial to the future development of the "Dead Night Gate".

The same principle is applied to the affiliation of other gang sects. No matter how powerful this gang is, the most important thing is to see what they have done in the past. If it is found that it is a sect that kills innocent people like the Yan Ming Sect, not only will they not be attached to it, but they will also be severely punished.

Shi Ziling Zhengse said: "Although our 'Dead and Evil Night Gate' is not a traditional famous and decent family, I think it doesn't matter if it is a famous and decent family, it doesn't matter if you usually act your own way, the most important thing is that you must not do those big and evil things!"

"I didn't care what happened before, but now that I'm the head of the door, I must not let the wicked people in my subordinates run rampant. Whoever commits a wicked act of cruelty to innocent people will be killed! Remember this and repeatedly warn your subordinates to know the truth. ”

The subordinates present agreed in unison, and then everyone discussed a lot of plans for the future development of the door, until it was late at night, and everyone dispersed one by one.
