Chapter 591: Inazuma 1st Martial Arts Tournament (1)
At this time, inside the arena (let’s call it the arena).
Sasayuri held the microphone, coughed twice and said:
"I won't say any more. I'll just say a few words. This time, the Inazuma First Martial Arts Tournament is jointly organized by Lord Narukami and Lord Shogun..."
Half an hour later, the audience in the venue became drowsy and some of them began to grumble.
Those who watched the live broadcast online were even more speechless.
"Is this just a simple meow?" - Swordsman Ben is mean
"Sasayuri-sama is so handsome!" --Tengu?
"Get down from here, you nymphomaniac upstairs!" - Sigma Man
"A very good meow sentence, which made me redefine what a sentence is!" - From morning to night
……
It wasn't just Inazuma's netizens who were making complaints and comments. After learning the news, people from other countries also came to this network system to watch the official live broadcast. At the same time, they also expressed their own thoughts.
Some came from the Northern Region, some from the Eastern Region, and even people from the Southern and Western Regions came out to show up.
In the Central Region, those who were bored also came out to watch.
"It's all in vain..." - A business genius
"Use this template for your next speech..." - Aigron, Acting President of the Desert Merchants Guild
“I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just meow…” — The wine at the Cat Ears Tavern is delicious
'Nowadays, people are running to martial arts tournaments to advertise? Aren't you afraid of being banned? '——I'm a very timid person
……
The referee, Yuri Sasa, simply meowed, but ended up talking for half an hour, leaving the audience speechless.
Fortunately, he did not continue to exhaust the audience's patience. After speaking for half an hour, he gave the chance to speak to the hosts on the stage, namely Kitsunesai, Chiyo and Yae Kamiko.
"Ahem... Next, I'll just meow a few words."
Kitsunesai-miya, who took over the topic, repeated the words that Sasayuri said when she started, which made the audience wail in their hearts.
Just a few simple meows!
Could you please stop meowing?
As if sensing the emotions in the audience, Kitsaigong smiled slightly and then said:
"This competition is extremely grand, and I think everyone is looking forward to it. In this case, the Inazuma First Martial Arts Tournament is officially launched!"
Eh?
Is it really just a simple meow?
When everyone heard the conference officially begin, they couldn't help but look at the white-haired beauty sitting in the host seat, with a bit of disbelief in their eyes.
They thought Kitsunayomi would be like Sasayuri, talking nonsense for a full half an hour once she opened her mouth...
Now it seems that Lady Kitsaigong is truly a kind-hearted person!
At the same time, people in the comment section of the Internet also expressed their opinions.
"I declare that I no longer love Lady Sasayuri. The one I love the most now is Lady Kitsunesai!"
'No one can resist a big, white fox-eared girl!'
"You tell me... Did Master Kitsaigong make this decision because he knew what I was thinking? Master Kitsaigong has me in his heart!"
'The guy above me is really wiping his ass with gauze, he let me slip a trick, I went back to sleep without waking up from my dream!'
'Okay! I'll go back to sleep!'
……
Under the guidance of Huzai Palace, the troublesome pre-match matters were quickly over and the real match began immediately.
"The next person to appear is a swordsman from an outlying island..."
As time passed, the battles of some less famous characters in front soon ended. Except for a few people who cheered for them, the rest of the audience just clapped as a routine.
Because most people don’t know about these newbies who are just here to make up the numbers.
After more than a dozen rounds of competition, some slightly famous martial arts masters also came out one after another. With the appearance of the first person with a great reputation, the audience suddenly became boiling.
"The next person to appear is the swordsmanship master from Narugami Island, the only son of the Kaedehara family - Kaedehara Manye!"
As Kitsusaigong's voice fell, a figure floated down onto the stage like a falling leaf. Fengyuan Manye was seen holding a long sword, with the red tassel on the scabbard fluttering in the wind. He saluted with his fists clasped around him, his expression indifferent but revealing a sense of confidence.
There was a sudden cheer from the audience, and many girls blushed with excitement.
"Wow, it's Brother Manye, he's so handsome."
"I heard that his swordsmanship is superb, and today I can finally see it."
Most of those who cheered particularly loudly were fans of Kaedehara Manye, while some were saved by this unrestrained ronin swordsman when they were attacked by monsters. They felt grateful to him and came to cheer him on after learning that he was about to participate in the competition.
On the ring, Fengyuan Manye drew out his sword, and the sword flashed with cold light. He got into a fighting stance, waiting for his opponent to arrive. The atmosphere in the entire arena suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath, staring at the stage intently.
"And his opponent is..." Hu Zhaigong paused here to arouse everyone's curiosity, and then...
Under the eager gazes of the crowd, a man dressed somewhat sloppily, looking like a wandering swordsman, walked up.
He wore a ghost mask on his face, and his armor looked a little worn out, as did the long sword hanging at his waist.
"Xu..."
There was a sudden booing from the audience, and everyone felt that such a sloppy guy was not worthy of being Fengyuan Manye's opponent, but Fengyuan Manye did not look down on him at all, and his eyes became more solemn.
"The opponent's steps... clearly seem to be full of flaws, but why..."
Fengyuan Manye looked at the other party with eyes full of surprise and doubt.
He felt that the other party's skills seemed to have reached a certain level of perfection.
The man wearing the ghost mask slowly drew his sword from its sheath. The blade was covered in rust and iron filings fell off when he pulled it out.
The projection screen showed this scene clearly to the audience, making them look down upon this unknown swordsman wearing a ghost mask even more.
However, the moment he grasped the hilt of the knife, an invisible sense of oppression spread.
Noticing this change, Kaedehara Manye lowered his body slightly and shifted his center of gravity a little.
Unsure of his opponent's specific strength, he decided to play it safe first.
The swordsman wearing the ghost mask slowly walked towards Kaedehara Manye, and stopped when he was just ten meters away.
"Is this a coincidence, or... strength?"
Seeing the other party's actions, Fengyuan Manye's heart sank slightly.
When swordsmanship is practiced to a certain level, one can form a heart domain, and with the help of elemental power, one can create a special elemental domain.
The range of his elemental domain, Poetry of Scenery, is within ten meters.
Now the other party happened to be standing on the border line, giving him an inexplicable feeling of discomfort.
"Your heart is...panicked."
The man's voice was a little low, but it gave Fengyuan Manye an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"If you panic, your sword will be useless."
bass!
As the Tetanus Blade was swung, there was a sound of tearing in the air.
The swordsman with the ghost face mask got into position for the Posa Slash and looked calmly at Kaedehara Manye.
The look in his eyes seemed to show that he only regarded Fengyuan Manye as a junior, not an opponent.
"If your sword is not sharp... you won't be able to defeat your opponent."
"I don't know how Fengyuan Jingchun taught you. You don't even understand some basic principles."
He calmly said a name, and this name made Fengyuan Manye's heart sink again.
Kaedehara Kageharu...that was his father, the current head of the Kaedehara family.
He is not only a top swordsman, but also a skilled blacksmith.
"Or……"
Whoosh!
Before the sound of wind blew, a figure appeared beside him.
"Because it puts too much pressure on you?"
bass!
Draw your sword and chop!
The long sword was unsheathed and slashed towards the swordsman with the ghost face mask in an instant.
The ghost-masked swordsman leaped back and easily avoided the fierce attack.
"It's quite fast." He commented softly.
Fengyuan Manye did not respond, but pursued the opponent with his long sword, dancing impenetrably, and the sword light attacked the opponent like falling maple leaves. However, the swordsman with the ghost face mask was not in a hurry, and dodged left and right with light steps, as if he had already seen through Fengyuan Manye's attack route.
Kaedehara Manye used his family's sword skills as well as the new sword skills he honed in battle, but these did not cause any harm to the ghost-masked swordsman.
What does this mean?
It means that the swordsman with the ghost mask is very familiar with the swordsmanship style of the Kaedehara family, and he even knows it himself!
Suddenly, the swordsman with the ghost mask seemed to be tired of the feeling of dodging, and he suddenly swung his sword to make a Posa Slash, and Fenghara Manye also quickly retreated.
Then, he used the Text Slash skill right after that, forcing Fengyuan Manye to use the power of wind element to help him retreat quickly.
Seeing Fengyuan Manye retreat, he gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands. A powerful force began to gather on the blade, and the surrounding airflow became turbulent.
"I'm going to be serious..."
"Next... it's time to test the sword!"
He suddenly flashed forward, and then the blade in his hand slashed towards Fengyuan Manye at an extremely sharp angle.
Danger! !! !!
These two words emerged in his mind, and the wind element formed a barrier, but the blade seemed to ignore it and directly cut through it.
Seeing the blade coming towards him with unstoppable force, Fengyuan Manye directly used the power of wind element to activate "Air Shock" in this emergency!
By using the "force" brought by the wind, a dislocation effect is created, thereby interfering with the opponent's offensive.
When "Air Shock" was used, the opponent's blade's slashing posture was slightly affected, and Fengyuan Manye took this opportunity to quickly dodge the attack.
"Huh...huh..."
Fengyuan Manye quickly retreated more than ten meters, with cold sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were full of shock as he looked at the swordsman with the ghost face mask.
He could clearly determine that the opponent was very powerful and was definitely not someone he could defeat.
but……
For a swordsman, it is a great honor to encounter a swordsman with even greater sword skills, who can even defeat him with his body alone, even though he has the Eye of God...
Isn’t this a kind of luck?
You have to know that in the past, it was very difficult to come across a swordsman with such extraordinary sword skills.
Even if they meet, the other party may not be interested in fighting him.
After all, when it comes to pure sword skills, his foundation is still far inferior to those swordsmen who have accumulated a lot of experience.
"senior……"
"Please enlighten me!"
After thinking the key point clearly, Fengyuan Manye took a deep breath, and then looked at the swordsman with the ghost face mask seriously.
