If there were more contestants before, and there were mediocre people with average strength, the last ones who entered the top eight were all masters with some real skills.

Twenty-four people in the team battle and eight people in the individual competition, a total of 32 participants, after resting, with a few judges and staff, took the super cruise ship to the designated competition location.

The preset final ring is a land of gravel islands and reefs, which can basically meet the performance conditions of all contestants.

The only drawback is that this year's stadium is not equipped with open stands, and it is completely tracked by patrol speedboats, camera cars and airships throughout the city, and then transmitted to Siqi Island through wireless signals, and broadcast live on the large screen in the square, so that all visitors can watch the wonderful game moments.

Of course, the real nobles, the venue to admire, is undoubtedly much more luxurious.

Although there was no direct on-site observation, which made some radicals a little unhappy, the main "programs" were all arranged, and they were not worried that someone would really make trouble.

The most important feature of the modified small waterline multihull is the large open deck area, which is extremely smooth in rough waves.

On the compass deck on the top floor, the ancient cedar water was busy, feeding the brave seabirds with fresh fish caught in the sea, and following the moonlight wind that came to protect him from time to time, coughing a few times from time to time, but it could not frighten these animals that were accustomed to humans.

"Why don't you go in and take a break? The sea breeze with too much humidity is not good for your body, and if you want to continue your ninja profession for a long time, you must take good care of your body. ”

"Where the duty lies, you can't leave without permission!"

The swordsmanship ninja with a full face whispered in response to the words of Gu Shanbu Shui,

"The young family governor is here, someone must be close to him!"

"Okay!"

Gu Shanbushui pursed his lips, and he had to appreciate the kindness of the moonlight blast, but he followed it too closely, which was also a little worrying.

Realistically speaking, in terms of absolute strength, Gu Shanbu Shui is not weaker than the moonlight wind, as long as he resists the three-plate axe of the Konoha Flow Sword Technique, the Shaojia Governor has a great chance of winning.

"I've heard that in the past, it was always to hire outside masters, or let Konoha ninja guest appear as the supervisor of the finals, why did you want to go out in person this year?"

"If you can't be a ninja, you have to come back and inherit hundreds of millions of family fortunes, you didn't have a chance before, but now you have to show it!"

Gu Shanbu Shui, who explained casually, said with a smile,

"Did you get you in trouble?"

Moonlight Wind took a deep breath and said:

"In principle, as an employer, you shouldn't risk your life, you could have stayed in the back to watch the live broadcast, why do you have to come to the front line to preside over the overall situation?"

"As a ninja, you shouldn't question your employer's choice, even if it's just for safety reasons, it's a bit overstepping......

Gu Shanbu Shui, who naturally refuted the doubts, said,

"Isn't it too idle, why don't I arrange something for you to do?"

"Excuse me!"

Hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that the moonlight blast who did not have such a heart denied,

"It's just that it's a little strange for a big noble kid like you to toss so much. Anyway, we are also classmates who look up and don't look down, so we are less cramped to speak......"

Don't look at the sick look of the moonlight blast, he himself is actually a rather narrow and sullen young man, if he doesn't have any ability, he won't fight with the cold temperament of Mao Yue Xiyan.

"Classmates......

Gu Shanbu Shui's expression was a little unnatural,

"Walking on the animal husbandry street, throwing bricks casually, as long as you hit the one with a forehead guard, three times out of ten unlucky people have been my classmates."

"Exaggeration!"

The sneering moonlight blast wiped a small bottle from his arms, poured a few pills and took them, and his spirit was slightly better.

"Obviously, it's the guy from Hongdou who is on duty, making excuses to say that he is seasick and has a stomachache, so it makes sense to change me, my body is the most likely to not be able to withstand this kind of wind and waves!"

The smiling young man exchanged a few more pleasantries, then changed the subject and asked:

"Your Gushan family has been holding this 'King of Fighting' competition for more than ten years, how can you hold on? Those nobles came all the way to cheer, and the crucial finals could only be watched on the big screen, and they were happy? ”

"Look at the live streaming technology. Watching the game live, the main thing to enjoy is that atmosphere. But it's not the most important ......"

Gu Shanbushui, who spoke, lowered his voice and explained slowly,

"Don't talk about the ethereal benefits, talk about the practical. Do you know how much money is being wagered on King of Fighters this year? ”

"A lot? There are also guys who open black plates in the middle ninja exam, and some idiots who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth are trying to buy off and threaten the ninja candidates to release the water......"

It seems that Konoha Village does not have an accurate concept of how much potential the gambling industry has in the ninja world, which lacks formal competitive events.

"Let's put it this way, just this month, which is directly or indirectly controlled by our Gushan family, the flow of funds exceeds the combined income of the country of grass, the country of bears, the country of tea and the country of rivers, and exceeds thirty percent of the annual financial income of the country of fire. There are no black villages in our field of vision, and I don't know how many there are. With so much money, once spent at any cost, it can almost subvert and disrupt the smaller of the five powers, the country of wind and the country of water. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"The gambler psychology of human beings, as long as they find a suitable outlet for venting, will burst out of power, it will be terrifyingly huge, and in the past sixteen years, moisturizing things have taken root in the black area of the ninja world silently, and have deeply affected all aspects of the Fire Country." The 'King of Fighters' event is a much-anticipated feast. ”

Why did the Furusugi family prepare for the "King of Fighting" event every year, racking their brains to promote it every year, and even the daimyo took the lead in coming to cheer?

On the one hand, the excitement of the event satisfies the spiritual needs of all aspects, and at the same time, it also effectively leverages a huge amount of wealth, which is the foundation that truly makes it prosperous.

In the past life, the Olympics and the World Cup not only had the need to demonstrate soft power, but also brought high economic value. The commercialized major leagues and professional major leagues cannot ignore the wealth created directly or indirectly.

Now, after more than ten years of hard work by the Gushan family, it has finally reached the maturity stage, and it has the value of harvesting.

The prosperity of gambling was the most immediate, and other derivative benefits fed an unknown number of people.

More people depend on the Gushan family for a living, which naturally increases their influence, and the wealth of the long stream will also roll in.

Originally, I was just asking casually, but I didn't expect to hear such a big news, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Your family's secret, just tell me that, is it okay?"

"Although it's not good to be known by outsiders, it's not a top secret, and sooner or later it will be noticed by someone who cares."

Gu Shanbu Shui didn't pay too much attention to these subsections, the Gu Shan family's shelf had not yet arrived, and it could bluff many villains who were about to move.

"Being rich and powerful is the label of the Gushan clan, and it is not a big deal to save a little bit of this impression."

The so-called rich country is really in front of you, and the self-proclaimed well-informed moonlight blast can't help but be staggered.

"Don't you care who wins and who loses?"

"This year's winner, Xu to Kazuma, first add the daimyo guardian ninja, and the rest, it's not worth thinking too much. Just let your subordinates come forward to settle on your behalf, and you don't need me to come forward in person. ”

Recruiting a few passable thugs, it is impossible for the young family governor to skip the care.

The affairs of the country of bears and the country of the sea are special cases, and if the name of the young master of Gushan is not revealed, those arrogant wandering ninjas may not necessarily buy it.

At the same time, the competition below was also held in a venue, and they watched their performance up close, and Wama, who was preparing for the selection of members, touched the strength of each contestant in the name of the chief referee.

In the end, the first team battle champion and the first place in the individual group were finally released.

Iwago, who has participated in the competition many times, finally got what he hoped for this year, and received the winning prize, a pair of half-fingered gloves made of special materials, a big man who couldn't support it, and very readily agreed to the invitation of Wama.

Next, it is the four winners of this year who will face off against the "king and king" of Kazuma.

"It's almost time to start!"

The results of the victory and defeat are roughly in line with the internal evaluation of the family, and there are no surprises.

In the distance, a deep shadow was striking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at first, no one paid attention to it, until Kazuma defeated the challenger very gracefully, and everyone who came back to their senses finally saw the underwater attacker charging on the waves.

"What's that?"

Moonlight Blast, who was also standing tall, squinted slightly, and fixed his eyes on the dark shadow.

Just when everyone didn't know why, one by one the violent swordfish jumped out of the water and attacked the people on the boat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the people who were close hurriedly avoided it, and a few contestants who could not find cover had to pull the objects around them to resist.

The moonlight blast, which was shocked by the sudden attack, saw a swordfish with a long, pointed upper jaw, like a spear, piercing the thick iron-clad wooden table, piercing the heart of a man hiding behind, and it seemed that he would not survive.

"This ......"

The Konoha guard, who didn't know what was going on, pulled Gu Shanbu Shui and asked eagerly,

"Let's get out of here, something seems wrong!"

"It's too late! It takes a long time for a spare hot air balloon to take off, and it is difficult to ensure safety in the sky. ”

Fortunately, Hinata Hinata is not here, and I haven't seen any sentient ninjas come to cheer, so basically no one will find the cat under the sea.

The huge whale spewed out a thick column of water, which washed the deck to pieces, and the barely organized contestants were also crushed.

One by one, behemoths hit the bottom compartment of the luxury cruise ship, part of the hull cracked, and several isolation water tanks have begun to enter the water.

The slightly inclined cruise ship is constantly shaking, making the people on board unstable, and the swordfish are like charging samurai, desperately inflicting damage on the fighters who participate.

Although it was messy, there weren't many unlucky people who actually died.

After all, it is the leader who stands out this year, and after stabilizing his position, he can still block the wild animals that take the lead by surprise.

Seeing that the decline had gradually stopped below, Gu Shanbushui said to the dutiful moonlight blast:

"I'm in a high place here, there will be no danger for a while, you go down to help, don't let the situation worse."

"But ......"

Moonlight Blizzard was a little hesitant, with his own ability, even if he couldn't beat it, it would not be a problem to save his life, and the key was to get rid of the Gu Shanbu water that was closely protected, and there was a risk of mission failure.

"Go, go, go. If even my strength can't hold out until you come to the rescue, the difference between you being close or far away is not very big. ”

"Okay, don't move here, I'll come when I go!"

After speaking, the moonlight wind that jumped down fell lightly to the side of the ship, wielding a long sword to slash the big fish that leaped into the attack.

"What a group of hard-working people, but unfortunately, this world is not rewarded for hard work!"

As the ancient cedar water was sealed and spiritism was cast, wisps of crimson water emerged from the bottom of the water, growing rapidly along the diffuse blood water, and expanding rapidly under multiple stimuli.

At the bottom of the ship, which no one paid attention to, a huge crimson shadow grew upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after just suppressing the impact of the swordfish and a large number of whales, as well as the spray of poisonous ink, it was unexpectedly discovered that the sea surface nearby had changed, and the red forest formed by the red tide covered most of the sky.

By connecting the control center, Gu Shanbu Shui secretly made the "Red Tide Forest" change its form, and the two upper bodies side by side, deep into the big hand, a few slaps down, knocked out the armor on the side of the board a few holes, and the sea water really surged inside.

"The wicked ones, who have turned their backs on the ways of nature, and are only concerned with satisfying their own desires, and wantonly destroying living beings, have stretched out your greedy hands to the sea, and we are bound to sweep away your filth."

The straightforward and understandable husky roar shows the anger of the two big guys in a dripping manner.

One after the other, the crimson giant who clamped the luxury cruise ship suddenly spit out a fishy liquid from his mouth, except for the ancient cedar water who lost no time in raising the black umbrella, there was no one in the open air who was not hit.

Not only does the red liquid smell very bad, but it is also difficult to wipe off, and it is very corrosive, and the contaminated skin is burning and itchy, and the pain is not very obvious.

As the atmosphere in the air became more and more embarrassing, there were fewer and fewer people who could keep their senses.

After a while, the contestants, who still maintained their combat effectiveness, had to join forces to fight with all their might under the threat of death, trying to repel the attack of the terrible enemy.

At the top of the boat, which had been tilted to a certain angle and was at risk of silence, behind Gu Shanbu Shui, the fishing fire that had recovered its human form came over and reported very respectfully:

"Young master, everything is ready."

"Let's get started! Release all the high-energy nutrients, increase the pheromone concentration to the maximum, and you're ready to retreat. ”

These weak mermaids can't make cameo appearances behind the scenes, and if they want to make the power of the evil god worthy of their name, they have to be the master of the water-the sea master.
