Chapter 70 Situation Analysis
Hyakana Nana continued, "In the kendo group, the first in the last session was Iga Rantaro of 'Iga-ryu', and the 'Ghost Shadow Sword' of Guiguzi should not be underestimated. We, the 'Dead Night', have never participated in a kendo competition, so it is still unknown what kind of trouble they will cause to the master. ”
Shi Ziling said: "There are also cheats of swordsmanship and sword techniques in the collection room of our 'Dead Night Gate', I have studied it carefully, although it is not as magical as 'Dementor **', but it is also a very good martial art." It's just that the previous masters were probably too obsessed with the cultivation of 'soul dementoring', so they ignored swordsmanship and knife skills. ”
"The last time I wrote the 'Demon Cleansing Collection' for the Brothers of the Triple Society, I had already integrated the sword and sword techniques of the 'Dead Night Gate' with my 'Eight Styles of the Yu Family' to create a new 'Eight Styles of the Yu Family'. However, because I didn't think it was perfect enough, it wasn't compiled into the 'Clear Demon Collection'. ”
"Participating in the kendo group competition this time is just to further practice and improve my new 'Yu Family Eight Styles', and I think I will re-compile it into our 'Dead Night Gate' classics when the time comes. ”
Baihua Nana said: "Xinmei and Xiaoxiang and I have seen the master of the door practice this set of 'Yu Family Eight Styles', we all think that this set of swordsmanship seems simple, but in fact it is extraordinary, and it has reached the realm of simplifying the complex and seems to be clumsy and ingenious. With this set of swordsmanship alone, coupled with the powerful True Yuan of the Sect Master and the Dementor**, I believe that any opponent will feel a headache. ”
Shi Ziling smiled: "You praise me so much, if I can't get a good ranking, it seems that I am a little sorry for everyone." ”
"I participated in this 'martial arts competition' in order to enhance the prestige of my 'Death and Evil Night Gate', but in fact, it was also to further improve my martial arts skills in actual combat. Compared with the lowest ranking, I still care more about whether I have new gains and breakthroughs in martial arts. ”
Sakura Xinmei said: "The realm of the master of the door is not something we can experience, Xinmei can have the opportunity to fight on behalf of the sect this time, and will regard every battle as a battle of life and death, and we must let everyone see the strength of our female disciples of the 'Dead Night Gate'......"
On the first day of the tournament, there were only some arrangements for drawing lots and grouping, and due to the large number of people, the tournament was based on the elimination system.
Both the boxing group and the kendo group are divided into 16 groups, and the players in each group are matched by drawing, and the losers are eliminated directly, and the winners continue to participate in the knockout round until the strongest person in this group enters the top 16.
The next round of 16 will advance to the next round of cross-elimination rounds until the bottom four are determined.
Starting from the next day, that is, October 11, every single day to test kendo, every double day to test boxing. Each person will have one competition in the morning and one in the afternoon. Since it is a knockout round, only the winner of the morning will be eligible to continue the afternoon match until they are eliminated.
If you win two matches in a row every day, you will continue to play another day of elimination after resting every other day, until the strongest player in the kendo group and the boxing group is decided, and the entire tournament will be over.
Sakura Xinmei's grouping situation is good, although there are as many as sixty-four people in the group, they are all representatives of some small sects and small gangs, as long as they are careful, it seems that the best ones have a good chance of winning.
Shi Ziling didn't care about the situation of his grouping, he just often reminded his disciples to pay attention to it, even if it was during the "martial arts competition", he also had to prevent the Yan Ming Sect from retaliating and provoking.
The two protectors of Baihua Nana and Kirithara Xiang both strictly warned their subordinates that after this "martial arts competition", there will inevitably be a battle between the "Dead Night Gate" and the Yan Sect, and everyone must prepare early.
The president of the Triple Society, Teru Ikeda, also received a notice early that it was strictly forbidden for his subordinate members to go out alone in the near future, and all the backbone members were stepping up their cultivation of Shiziling's "Demon Clearing Collection", hoping to improve their strength as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle with the Yan Sect.
Oda Shin was very excited after receiving the news that Shi Ziling had broken the Demon Cave of Master Wuxin's practice, and several of his subordinates had tried to deal with several of the disciples of the Fruitheart Lay before, but they all returned in vain. This time, Shi Ziling killed Master Wuxin, the eldest disciple of the Guoxin Layman, which was really something they had wanted to do for a long time but had not been able to do.
I heard that the whole of the Yan Sect was very shaken, and even the several gangs below were also fluctuating, and many people even began to doubt the mana of these mages of the Yan Sect.
Guoxin Jushi was furious, and had vowed to completely defeat Shiziling in the martial arts battle, and even united several major gangs under him and Takeda Xuan's military horses to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of Shiziling's "Dead Night Gate", and a vicious battle seemed inevitable.
Oda Nobu had already prepared his military horses for a decisive battle with Takeda Gen, but he was still a little worried about whether Shi Ziling would be able to defeat the Guoxin Jushi. Guoxin Jushi was the second place in the boxing group of the last martial arts competition, and after fighting more than 1,000 moves with the first-place Fu Hanzang, he lost half a move due to the slightly inferior strength of Zhenyuan.
But since then, the ascetic illusion of the Fruit Heart Lay has finally been completed, and his strength has been greatly improved compared to ten years ago. And Fu Hanzang is already dying, and under the advantages of this and the other, almost everyone thinks that the strongest person in the battle boxing group of this year's conference is none other than Guoxin layman.
The strength of the two brothers, Shirakawa Xiong and Shirakawa Gang, who Oda Shin had painstakingly cultivated for many years, had always been unsatisfactory, and they were far from the Guoxin laymen, and they could not pose a threat to the Yan Sect at all.
Fortunately, on the way back from Oda Yasushi to the Bright Moon Continent to seek medicine, he met Shi Ziling, the new master of the "Dead Night Gate", Oda Yasu and Shirakawa Tsuyoshi were both optimistic about Shi Ziling's strength, thinking that only he was enough to compete with the Guoxin Layman.
Although Oda Shin was skeptical at the time, he had no other choice, so he went to the main altar of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate" in person, preparing to unite with the young "Dead and Evil Night Gate" master to fight to the death with Takeda Xuan and the Yan Sect.
Now that the results of the group draw are out, Oda Shin can't help but be a little worried when he sees that Shi Ziling is actually in two competitions and has signed up for the boxing group and the kendo group at the same time.
He asked his retainer Oda Yasumichi beside him: "I have never heard of the 'Dead Evil Night Gate' who is good at swords, why does this Shiziling sign up for the kendo group competition? Isn't he afraid of consuming the true yuan? The victory or defeat of the classic duel between the fruit heart monk and Fu Hanzo in the last session is just a millimeter, isn't the difference just a little bit of the thickness of the true element?"
Oda Yasu also didn't understand Shi Ziling's intentions, and said: "This Shi Gongzi is unfathomable, and his subordinates don't understand his true purpose. The 'Evil Night Gate' has indeed never been known for his swordsmanship, and it is really puzzling why he would waste his true yuan in vain in the sword competition. ”
"Wait for a subordinate to try to meet with Shi Ziling's Hundred Flowers Protector, hoping to persuade Shi Gongzi to give up the competition in the kendo group. ”
"The performance of the 'Dead Night Gate' and the 'Yan Ming Sect' in the 'Martial Arts Tournament' this time is directly related to the victory or defeat of the upcoming battle between the two major schools, and it has a great impact on the morale of the personnel on both sides, and it also has a far-reaching impact on whether we can finally defeat General Takeda Xuan, and my subordinates will definitely persuade Shi Gongzi to think twice......"
On the other side, Takeda Xuan and Guoxin Jushi were also discussing the purpose of Shi Ziling's two competitions.
"As far as I know, the 'Soul Dementor**' of the 'Dead Night Gate' is quite magical, and if you practice it to the fullest, the power will not be under my illusion. However, this Shiziling is young, and even Kato Eagle has not been able to practice the 'dementor **', he can't practice it so quickly. ”
"I think he may have known that he had little chance in the boxing group, so he applied for another kendo group. Even if they fail to win the championship in either case, as long as they can get a better ranking, they can still maintain their prestige as the 'Gate of the Dead Night'. ”
Takeda Xuan said: "Layman, I have received news from the Bright Moon Continent, this Stone Tomb was born out of thin air, and it has made a lot of name in the Bright Moon Continent, and the most powerful thing is that he has also fought with Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan twice, and it seems that he has not fallen behind. ”
"The layman's junior disciple, Master Wuchun, and the sea giant Nangong Ba heard that they also died at the hands of the two female disciples of Shiziling. A few days ago, your eldest disciple Master Wuxin was killed by him again, this Shiziling is obviously full of confidence, and you must not underestimate the enemy. ”
Guoxin's face changed, his voice involuntarily became sharper, and he said, "What about Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, I have long wanted to go to the Bright Moon Continent to have a good competition with masters like Li Yuan and Li Du!"
"As long as I can successfully win the title of 'No. 1 Strongest Samurai' this time, I am planning to go to the Bright Moon Continent to start a sect and vigorously promote my 'Yan Sect'. ”
"This stone tomb doesn't know the height of the sky, I think that with a little strength, I can ride on the head of our 'Yan Ming Sect', even his master Kato Eagle has to give up three points when he sees me, just because he, a yellow-haired boy, wants to win me?"
"After I defeat him this time, I must take advantage of the situation to uproot his 'Dead Evil Night Gate', and see who else dares to touch my 'Yan Ying Sect' people on Dongli Island!"
Takeda Xuan said: "In short, lay people must not underestimate the enemy. However, this Shi Ziling has two competitions, and it will inevitably consume a lot of true yuan, and when it comes to the final four finals, even if he has miraculous skills, he will eventually be discounted. I am deeply convinced of the layman's illusion, and with the advantage of this true yuan consumption, I think the odds of winning are still very good. ”
"As long as we can win the 'tournament battle', the whole of Higashi-Legashima will be on our side, and when we fall, I will take advantage of the situation to bring down Oda Nobu and Tokugawa Shu and become the overlord of Higashi-Legashima. And your 'Yama Sect' can rightfully become the number one sect on the island......"
