Chapter 439: The Ring Match
The next day.
Huo Yuanjia and Tanaka Yasano's ring match was held as scheduled.
Compared with the Taoist Exchange Conference, it is only circulated among the high-level of the monastic world, and ordinary people know very little, so no one pays attention to it. The decisive battle between Huo Yuanjia and Tanaka Yasuno can be said to be known to everyone in the entire Jinmen.
As early as half a month ago, newspapers began to exaggerate the report at large length.
In this decisive battle, in a sense, Huo Yuanjia represented China, while Tanaka Yasuno represented the invading powers.
If Huo Yuanjia wins, it will greatly improve the morale of the people; and if Huo Yuanjia is defeated, then the Jingwu Gymnastics Association that he worked so hard to establish will probably be disbanded, and the title of the Chinese people's 'sick man of East Asia' will also be further confirmed.
So.
The entire Jinmen martial arts world, regardless of whether they are convinced by Huo Yuanjia or not, or whether they have had a disagreement with Huo Yuanjia before, today I hope that Huo Yuanjia can win, be able to defeat the Oriental masters, and take a bad breath for the Chinese martial arts world.
Zhang Jing, Zhuge Kongping, and Bai Rourou, who bought tickets, also arrived at the competition hall on time.
Looking at the crowd of onlookers at the entrance of the hall, many people held banners, cheering for Huo Yuanjia and the Jingwu Gymnastics, looking forward to the news of the victory.
The martial arts practice in Jinmen is indeed strong, and if it were another city, such a duel would not have caused such a big sensation.
If the whole country could be as united and united as one, perhaps the current situation would not be so erosive, and it would not have been bullied so badly by the great powers.
Pity.
A simple martial arts practitioner can influence some people, and it is too far to save the country.
Entering the venue, the three tickets bought by Zhuge Kongping were seated, and the position was in the front, the second row, and it seemed that it did cost a lot of money.
Because the first row of seats is not for sale.
In addition to the two protagonists Huo Yuanjia and Tanaka Yasano, the first row is the high-level warlord figures of the Jinmen government, as well as the ambassadors of the representatives of various countries.
It seems that this ring match not only has a very important meaning in the eyes of ordinary people, but also is valued by governments around the world, so there are many high-level people who are present at the scene.
Huo Yuanjia had already arrived early, and so did Tanaka Yasano.
Both of them sat quietly at the moment, closing their eyes and recuperating.
After Zhang Jing arrived.
Huo Yuanjia seemed to have a sense in his eyes, and immediately looked back, found Zhang Jing's location not far away, nodded and smiled slightly. Zhang Jing also nodded and smiled back.
Zhuge Kongping was surprised when he saw this: "Zhang Daoyou, when did you know this Huo Daxia?"
"The ...... I met last night"
Zhang Jing briefly talked about his encounter with Huo Yuanjia last night.
Bai Rourou smiled and said, "Zhang Daoyou, you and this Huo Daxia are quite fateful. Moreover, this Huo Daxia represents the martial arts world today, and fights against the masters of the Oriental Nine Ghosts and Divine Streams, and in two days, Zhang Daoyou, you will also represent my Daomen side and confront the masters of the Oriental magic world......"
Yesterday, under the leadership of Daoist Qianhe, Zhang Jing saw many masters who came to participate in the Daomen Exchange Conference this time, but basically everyone just regarded Zhang Jing as a genius and rising star, and the future is promising.
But if you want to take the lead, it is far from enough.
At this Daomen Exchange Conference, it was not Zhang Jing's turn to perform on stage, so he could only see the world as a bystander.
The real main force is still a few mage realm masters led by Yan Fuchen.
Maybe in another ten years, people like Zhang Jing and the little Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion will be able to grow into the mainstay of the Daomen world and be able to take charge on their own.
Now, it's too early.
Including Zhang Jing's uncle, the head of the Thousand Crane Dao himself also thinks so.
But Bai Rourou and Zhuge Kongping are different.
The two of them know how terrifying Zhang Jing's true strength is. Even if the two of them combined, they are far less than half of Zhang Jing.
Even they felt that even if it was the leader of this Daomen Conference, Daoist Yan Fuchen, I was afraid that he was not as powerful as Zhang Jing!
Zhuge Kongping couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard that this time the Oriental magic world is prepared, and there are a lot of masters who have come, and they are full of confidence and want to overpower my Huaxia Daomen." But they don't know what kind of existence they will encounter!"
Zhang Jing, who was slapped by the sycophants of the two senior brothers and sisters, was a little embarrassed, shook his head and said: "The Daomen Conference is presided over by Daoist Yan Fuchen, and the group of people in the East Ocean should not be able to make any waves, maybe it is none of my business." ”
Zhang Jing has already made up his mind.
If the master of the Oriental magic world created an opportunity to brush up merit points at the Dao Gate Exchange Conference, he would definitely rush to make a move. If it's just an ordinary competition, he won't make a shot if he can, and he should try not to be in the limelight.
Not necessarily.
Zhuge Kongping nodded in agreement, and said solemnly: "Daoist Yan's strength is indeed the same as that of Zhang Daoyou, which is unfathomable. Many years ago, I had seen Daoist Yan go all out once, and even now, many years later, I still remember it vividly. Although they are both in the mage realm, I can't see through the realm of Yan Daochang at all. I guess that now that Daoist Yan's cultivation is about to break through the Heavenly Master Realm!"
Bai Rourou's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Break through the Heavenly Master Realm, isn't it?"
The reason why the Heavenly Master Realm is called the legendary realm is because no one has broken through this realm for many years in today's Dao Sect.
It may be the existence of the Heavenly Master Realm, and there are only a few Taishan Beidou similar to the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
These people are all over 100 years old!
And I don't know what the reason is, they have been for decades, basically no longer walking the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult for the world to see their traces.
So in a sense, the masters of the Oriental magic world are not wrong to understand.
The most powerful person that can be used by the Dao Sect today is the master of the peak of the mage realm like Yan Fuchen and Wang Changyue.
But no matter how peak the master of the Mage Realm is, it is not the Heavenly Master Realm after all.
And between the two, there is also an insurmountable gap between heaven and earth.
Therefore, in Bai Rourou's opinion, maybe Yan Fuchen Dao Master is very powerful, but when she says that she is about to break through the Heavenly Master Realm, she feels that it is impossible.
Zhuge Kongping shook his head and didn't say anything more.
He really didn't have any evidence, he just had a feeling.
However, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Jing, his eyes were bright, as if exuding the fire of gossip, and asked what he was more interested in: "Zhang Daoyou, what about you? Have you already touched the threshold of the Heavenly Master Realm?" or ...... Actually, you are already in the Heavenly Master Realm!"
When Bai Rourou heard this, she also looked at Zhang Jing with anticipation.
Although the Heavenly Master Realm has become a legend, if Zhang Jing said that he was already in the Heavenly Master Realm, the two of them would believe it!
Zhang Jing smiled dumbly and said, "Of course I am not in the Heavenly Master Realm. As for when you will be able to reach the legendary Heavenly Master Realm......"
Zhang Jing paused, sold Guan Zi and said, "I actually don't know." Maybe it's going to be a long time, maybe it's going to be ...... soon."
If it is completely up to Zhang Jing and wants to break through to the Heavenly Master Realm, then I don't know how many years it will take.
But Zhang Jing is a hanger.
There is a merit system.
As long as you have enough merit points, you can break through the shackles in minutes!
But Zhuge Kongping and Bai Rourou were confused when they heard it, and they couldn't understand the immediate meaning of the words, but they were even more curious in their hearts, like tickling. The senior brother and sister wanted to know what kind of existence Zhang Jing was, what his realm was, and why he had such terrifying and earth-shattering strength.
But just when the two wanted to take a closer step to ask, Huo Yuanjia and Tanaka Yasuno had already stepped into the ring in front, and under the organization of the referee, they were ready to compete, and the two had to stop.
This ring match is not a ring match in the traditional sense of China, after going on stage, it will be played at will, there is no referee, and in the end, whoever lies down loses, and whoever stands wins.
The two-man competition is more like boxing in the West, divided into the first half and the second half, with a referee in the middle.
In the first half, the weapon was tested, and in the second half, the fist and kick were tested.
When testing weapons, Tanaka Yasano, as the first master of the Nine Ghosts and Divine Streams, was holding a katana, a weapon with oriental characteristics.
And Huo Yuanjia did not use sharp weapons such as knives, swords, and guns, but also used three-section sticks with Chinese characteristics!
In the referee's whistle, the two of them bent down slightly and nodded to say hello, and then moved quickly at the same time.
As one of the best sects in the Oriental kendo world, the Nine Ghosts and Divine Stream are really powerful in swordsmanship.
And Tanaka Yasuno cultivated the swordsmanship of the Nine Ghosts and Divine Streams to the point of perfection, and the moment the katana was unsheathed, the sky fell apart, and the speed was so fast that there was no trace in his eyes, let alone an ordinary person.
If the strength is not strong enough, it is just a move of Tanaka to draw his sword in the dark night, and it will be impossible to block it, and it will directly make people's heads roll to the ground.
But Huo Yuanjia is not an ordinary master, he has lived in seclusion for several years, not only has he made great progress in martial arts, but also realized the 'Tao' in the fields, he can easily capture even the traces of the wind, and any trace of flow in the air cannot escape his perception.
Although Tanaka Yasano's knife is fast and can hide from his eyes, he can't hide from Huo Yuanjia's perception.
According to the fluctuations in the air, the three-section stick in Huo Yuanjia's hand formed a triangular cross, crossed in front of him, and accurately intercepted and blocked the katana.
Boom!
In an instant, the flames burst into flames, and the two of them each took a few steps back, and then slashed and whipped at each other in unison.
In an instant, the sound of 'clanging' collisions in the ring was endless, and the shadows of knives and sticks crisscrossed and were dazzling.
"Huh, these two martial arts practitioners can be so powerful?"
Zhuge Kongping and Bai Rourou were originally not interested in this ring match, but just accompanied Zhang Jing to watch.
But now I can't help but be surprised when I see the strength of the two fighting each other.
The martial arts and physical strength of the two have surpassed ordinary people by a large margin, with strong qi and blood, powerful breath, and a 'momentum' in their moves!
Because of the existence of this 'potential', even in the face of evil ghosts, their moves have a certain lethality!
If ordinary imps come to provoke them, they may really be killed by them with ordinary swords!
This effect is similar to that of a veteran who never dies in a hundred battles, or a butcher executioner, or a scholar with a righteous heart in his heart, who can not be afraid of ordinary evil.
Zhang Jing was not surprised that Huo Yuanjia could have such strength because he had taken Huo Yuanjia's pulse last night.
But the strength shown by the Oriental Tanaka Yasuno surprised him that he was able to fight back and forth with Huo Yuanjia, who was definitely a grandmaster in martial arts.
The first master of the Nine Ghosts and Divine Stream, it seems that he is not a person who has lost his name.
However, as the two of them fought more and more, Huo Yuanjia's heritage was like a great river stretching, and there was no decline at all, but a trend of getting stronger and stronger.
And Tanaka Yasuno has gradually begun to lose support.
Bang!
Finally, the three-section stick in Huo Yuanjia's hand attacked like a spirit snake, seemingly bombarding Tanaka Yasano's face door, and Tanaka Yasuno resisted the katana horizontally.
But the three-section stick suddenly turned, locked Tanaka Yasano's arm, and slammed it hard, Tanaka Yasuno snorted in pain, and the katana in his hand was no longer stable, and he flew out.
The weapons are all gone, and defeat is naturally a matter of time.
But at this moment, the Western referee coach suddenly blew his whistle, signaling that the first half was over, regardless of the winner or loser.
The two sides will rest for a while and then play the second half.
Seeing this, many Chinese people and audiences in the ring shouted that it was unfair, and the crowd was excited.
But Huo Yuanjia on the stage looked as usual, did not feel discouraged or angry, and after arching his hand to Tanaka Yasano, he stepped off the stage to rest.
Tanaka Yasuno did not feel humiliated or angry, but his eyes were full of caution and jealousy.
Huo Yuanjia is stronger than he imagined.
In the second half he was probably not in a good situation, but he was not going to give up.
As both sides stepped down one after another, the game came to an end, and the tense atmosphere in the venue relaxed a little.
Only Zhang Jing became more and more attentive at this time, observing all the movements in the field.
If the Toyos are going to poison them, I'm afraid it's time for intermission.
Really.
Just a short time after Huo Yuanjia stepped down, one of the Oriental envoys sitting in the first row made a move.
But it seems that there is a gap with Zhang Jing's expectations.
This person's method is not to put poison into Huo Yuanjia's teacup......
