Chapter 304: Group Stage

More than half a point later, the first round of the qualifiers ended.

In this round of the competition, Shirakawa's group advanced to a total of 54 people, and just a few minutes later, the other groups also ended the first round one after another.

Nearly half of the players in each group were eliminated, and some of these players were slightly injured, some were seriously injured, and a few were directly killed by their opponents.

Those players who are seriously injured, if they are from a big family, will be taken back for careful treatment.

But if it's a casual practice, most of them have to hide there to heal their wounds, or someone simply leaves this place of right and wrong.

The second round of the qualifiers began quickly, and Shirakawa turned out to be the first to play this time.

His opponent this time was a disciple of the kendo school, and the opponent used a long knife that looked extremely sharp.

The dark blue knife body occasionally glows with a little silver.

The other party came up without saying a word, and directly swung the knife and slashed, and the sharp knife light swept straight around Bai Chuan's body.

Bai Chuan still repeated his old tricks, and the golden light bell quickly appeared, no matter how the brilliant sword slashed, there was no fluctuation in the slightest, only a crisp metal knocking sound.

This time, Shirakawa did not blindly defend, but approached the young man of the kendo school.

As he advanced, the golden light clock also moved forward.

The young man was forced to step back continuously, and although the long knife in his hand still slashed, both in strength and speed decreased considerably.

Shirakawa pushed the young man to the edge of the ring, and shook the young man out with a slam of the Admiralty.

In this match, Shirakawa won comfortably again, and at the same time, Akai Shu's side also finished the match at the same time.

He was in the sixth group next door to Shirakawa, and after seeing the golden light clock on his body, Akai Shu couldn't help but feel stunned.

Isn't this guy a kendo genius specially recruited by Kiyota-senpai? How can you still use such a powerful defensive technique?

It's really unexpected, it seems that this guy is really difficult to entangle, and he can attack and defend!

In addition, although Tatsuya Harashi and Katagiri Gang in the ring also won, they didn't have a better time this time, and they were both slightly injured and bloody.

The second round of the qualifiers ended quickly, and the time had already reached noon.

As a result, the organizers called off the competition and allowed the contestants to eat in time and rest for a while before starting the afternoon competition.

The three of Shirakawa also returned to the camp of Beichen Yidaoliu, and at this moment, Mito Ryuya and Kiyota Ichiro were sitting in the main tent and drinking each other, and there were many snacks on the table.

"These two seniors are really leisurely, don't they pay attention to the game at all?"

As Shirakawa was thinking about it, he saw Kiyota-senpai beckoning to him.

"You kid don't come soon, I specially left you some good appetizers, this is an authentic tuna fillet.

This good thing can even be eaten in the deep mountains and forests, and the Onmyoji Association is really wealthy, and the logistics support is really very good!

At the same time, Mito Ryu also beckoned the three players to come over for dinner.

Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still asked if the four-person game was going well.

Shirakawa nodded and didn't speak, and his mouth was already stuffed with sashimi.

The three of them responded in unison: "We all passed the second round of the qualifiers, and I am very confident that I will enter the group stage!" ”

"That's good! As long as you get to the group stage, you're in the top 150, and as long as you can make it through a few more games, you'll be safe.

As for going up...... It depends on whether you have the strength and luck.

Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best.

Our Beichen Stream has been weak for many years, and this is not something that can be changed overnight! ”

Although he said so in his mouth, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Shirakawa.

Mito Ryu also thought to himself: "With this Shirakawa here this time, maybe you can really achieve unprecedented good results!" ”

He still knows a little bit about Bai Chuan's strength in his heart, and it will not be worse than the current Qingtian, as for whether it can be compared with himself, it depends on his subsequent performance.

After a short lunch break, the third round of the qualifiers officially began.

This time, Shirakawa's opponent is a middle-aged man with a rather obscene appearance, and he looks like an alternative outfit.

A black tights wrapped around his body, leaving only his eyes exposed, while carrying two short knives behind his back.

Bai Chuan already had a guess in his heart, could this be the legendary ninjutsu master?

But even if it's really a ninjutsu master, it doesn't seem to have any advantage in the face of him.

The golden light bell doesn't have a certain strength to break the defense, so the ninjutsu master's body is extremely skillful, and he has to break his defense to win, right?

Shirakawa was thinking about it here, but the middle-aged man on the other side disappeared into thin air.

Even with Shirakawa's spiritual sense, he couldn't find out where he was for a while, but Shirakawa's golden light clock had already condensed and formed, and it was emitting a faint golden glow around him.

He simply didn't rush and slowly paced in the ring.

Many players and the audience in the audience were a little confused when they saw this scene, what were the two of them doing?

One is stealthily gone, the other is walking around the field with a defensive shield turned on, what else is there to see!

Just when everyone was speechless, a black shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the middle-aged ninjutsu master drew out two short blades and swung them like a whirlwind, shining on the top of Shirakawa's head with a sharp slash!

But this didn't help Shirakawa, and the short knife slashed at the golden light bell with sparks, but it failed to break the defense.

Immediately, the middle-aged ninjutsu master disappeared again, and Shirakawa still walked unhurriedly, but this time he made some moves on the golden light clock.

When the ninjutsu reappeared, it suddenly emerged from under the ring, and he slammed upwards to stab Shirakawa in the chest.

However, just as he stabbed the golden light clock with his two blades, the light clock suddenly changed, first shrinking sharply and then immediately bursting apart.

At the same time as there was a loud bang, the energy that had originally condensed into a golden light bell was scattered by Shirakawa.

Countless golden inches shot in all directions, and even though the ninjutsu master was ghostly and superb, he couldn't escape the group attack.

His ankle was accidentally pierced by a golden mang, and the whole person suddenly screamed and fell from mid-air.

However, he did not completely give up resistance after landing on the ground. Instead, he rolled back a few times in a row and retreated more than ten meters, raising his arms again to cautiously defend Shirakawa, for fear that he would attack again with a golden inch.

At this time, Bai Chuan did not continue to use that move, but quickly used the Wind God Leg, one of the three unique fists.

Bai Chuan's wind scroll was directly involved in the black-clothed ninjutsu man's leg shadow, making him unavoidable.

After the black-clothed ninjutsu artist instinctively swung his double sword a few times, he was hit in the chest by Shirakawa's heart.

He flew straight out like a cannonball, and finally landed in the half-man-high grass.

Fortunately, Shirakawa's leg has mercy, otherwise most of this middle-aged ninjutsu will be directly shocked to death by him.

You know, according to Shirakawa's current skills, the Wind Scroll Building can be used to exert many times stronger than before!

This is Shirakawa's mastery that he has once again revealed after the defense of the golden light clock.

The public's impression of him has also changed a lot, "It turns out that this person is not only hiding in the shell like a turtle to defend, his leg skills are also amazing, and he is full of power!" ”

Soon the fourth round continued, and this time the opponent took the initiative to admit defeat after meeting Shirakawa.

Compared with the previous opponents, this person is very self-aware, his body is not sensitive, and his attack power is not very strong, so it is better to let Bai Chuan advance directly.

He didn't expect much to qualify, and it's good to be in the third round! He came mainly for a long period of knowledge.

At the end of this round, Shirakawa's group has decided the top 10 and they will advance to the group stage.

Except for Shirakawa, almost all of these people are masters of swordsmanship, and there are also several young people from the Saito faction.

They stood together, looking at Shirakawa with a gaze that wasn't very friendly.

When Shuichi Saito stopped Mito Ryuya before, they had already remembered Shirakawa's face in their hearts.

There was a sneer in their hearts, they must eliminate Shirakawa in the group stage.

The rest of the groups also selected 10 people each, and of course there were a few lucky byes, and the organizers directly announced that they were lucky to advance to the group stage.

Seeing that the sun is about to set today, the organizers do not plan to play the group stage again, but explain the rules first.

The group stage is a little more complicated than the qualifiers, and the opponent is still selected by draw, so there will definitely be a bye, so naturally I am lucky to advance to the next round.

In these groups, each player has to compete for at least 10 games, and then take the top three points in the group to advance to the 50-man squad.

At least three people from each group will be selected, and the remaining few spots will be replenished from the lucky ones who have byes.

Although everyone is envious of these lucky people, there is no objection, after all, sometimes luck is also a kind of strength!

After Elder Shimizu Ren explained the rules of the competition, he announced that the meeting would be adjourned for the day and asked everyone to return to their tents to rest.

Before leaving, several young kendo masters of the Saito faction in Shirakawa's group stared at him fiercely, but Shirakawa ignored them.

A bunch of ants!

When he returned to the camp, Akai Shu and the three of them walked in almost on their heels.

Of the three, only Akai Shu is in a better state.

Although Tatsuya Hara and Katagiri Tsuyoshi also barely entered the top ten of their respective groups, they were ranked relatively low, and their own form was relatively poor at this time.

Seeing them in this state, Mito Ryu also called several people together, and then looked at their injuries, and it seemed that there was no major problem.

So he asked a few people to rest early, trying to recover as much as possible.

The skin injuries were simply dealt with by him, and these did not affect the strength of several people!
