Chapter 272: Hanma Yujiro vs. Kuroki Gensai
Tokyo Dome Underground Arena is an enclosed space designed specifically for fighting. Its surrounding walls are so solid that they seem to be able to withstand all external interference.
The carefully arranged lighting equipment on the top ensures that there is sufficient light during the fight even underground, allowing every movement to be seen.
In the center of the venue, an octagonal fighting area is clearly visible. This is the battlefield that all fighters dream of, and it is also the stage for them to display their strength and glory.
The contestants' entrance channels are named after the Four Symbols: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
Each passage exudes a mysterious atmosphere, as if leading the fighters to an unknown destiny.
Between the arena and the audience seats, a sturdy wooden fence was erected high, which not only isolated the frenzy of fighting but also retained the enthusiasm of the audience.
The audience seats are located around the fighting area, stacked layer by layer with clever design. No matter where you sit, you can clearly see every detail of the match.
At this time, Tokugawa Mitsunari and Katagami Metō, two giants in the fighting world, were sitting on the podium above the entrance of Suzaku Pass, delivering opening speeches for this world-class fighting competition.
Tokugawa Mitsunari, who had a bald forehead, picked up the microphone and said in a loud voice: "Now, let me explain the rules of the game in detail to everyone."
Katagen Mietang followed suit, picked up the microphone and began to explain: "The rules of this competition are no different from previous competitions."
"Except for the use of weapons, there are no restrictions. The last person standing will be the champion."
He paused and added:
"However, the last match of the first round, Miyamoto Musashi vs. Luo Hao, will be an exception."
"This battle is dedicated to sword fighting, so let us look forward to their wonderful performance."
Tokugawa Mitsunari spoke again, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty: "The rules are extremely simple."
"The fighters participating in the competition were carefully selected by Xiaotang and I in advance."
“We expect them to bring us exciting games one after another.”
Katanamoto Miedang's spirit gradually became excited, and his eyes were shining with love and anticipation for fighting:
"We two old guys are almost 200 years old in total, and we can't wait to see this fighting feast."
“We hope it’s something we can reminisce about for the rest of our lives!”
After saying that, Tokugawa Mitsunari and Katanagen Metō stood up at the same time and shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Start the war!"
Their voices echoed in the arena, and the blood in the hearts of all fighters was ignited at this moment.
One peculiar thing about this competition is that there is no traditional host.
But at this moment, a familiar voice came from the loudspeaker in the venue.
"Hello everyone! I am your old friend Kaenyuan Qiaoxiang." A magnetic female voice sounded.
Then, a deep and powerful male voice was heard: "Hello everyone! I am Jerry Tyson!"
"We will bring you a detailed explanation of this fighting competition in the banquet hall of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo."
“Please look forward to every thrilling game!”
The two people's voices intertwined, adding more anticipation and suspense to this fighting competition.
At this time, the banquet hall of the Imperial Capital Hotel was already crowded with guests and very lively. All the delicacies from land and sea were arranged on the tables in the form of a buffet.
The large screen in the middle of the banquet hall showed the scene of the octagonal arena.
Just before the start of the game, Guo Haihuang, Long Shuwen and Guo Chuncheng arrived at the arena.
Not only did they bring their own fighting spirit, they also prepared a generous gift for Luo Hao - a Tang sword specially forged for Luo Hao by Bailin Temple.
At this time, Luo Hao had already seen the three of them. He immediately stood up, waved his arms and shouted:
"Senior Poseidon, we are here!"
After the three people came over, Long Shuwen directly threw the precious Tang sword to Luo Hao.
The knife drew a graceful arc in the air.
"Snapped!"
Luo Hao caught the knife and carefully looked at the dark Tang sword with smooth and elegant lines.
The blade of this knife is slender, three feet and one inch long, of which the blade is two feet and three inches long and the handle is eight inches long.
The blade is straight with a slight curve, the tip is shaped like a broken bamboo, and the entire blade is extremely sharp.
This knife is forged from tungsten-titanium alloy and is extremely strong.
Long Shuwen continued, "This sword is called 'Buddha's Wrath'!"
"It represents the will of Bailin Temple."
"In addition, the abbot of Bailin Temple, Liu Haiwang, also asked me to convey a Buddhist poem to you."
Long Shuwen paused for a moment, then read:
"Buddha nature has two sides, kind and evil."
"The heart of compassion, joy and generosity is as vast as the sea, and the angry eyes of the Vajra suppress the evil spirits."
"On the one hand, I save sentient beings with tenderness, and on the other hand, I protect the Dharma with dignity."
"Two sides are not contradictory, they are all Buddha's heart transforming into thousands."
After listening to the Buddhist poem, Luo Hao took a deep breath and then pulled out the steel knife with a "swish".
A cold light flashed, and the knife seemed to cut through the air.
The airflow at the blade automatically splits into two, forming a vacuum cyclone behind the blade, which appears in front of everyone in a form visible to the naked eye.
Luo Hao exclaimed: "What a good knife!"
He held the "Buddha's Wrath" tightly, feeling the power it brought.
At this moment, Katagami Kaname's voice resounded throughout the arena through the speakers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the long wait is finally over."
"The first game is about to begin!"
"The first person to represent Kengankai is the mysterious master of the karate-do Kaigan-ryu, Kuroki Gensai, who is 185cm tall and weighs 95kg and is from Okinawa, Japan."
Kuroki Gensai, wearing a worn dark karate uniform, slowly walked into the venue from the White Tiger Gate.
He was calm and composed, saying nothing, and exuded the demeanor of a master who could remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him.
After introducing Kuroki Gensai, Katagen Shoka's voice once again echoed over the arena.
"Next up is the 'strongest creature on earth' who is 190cm tall, weighs 100kg, has back muscles that look like a ghost face, and has never been defeated in his life, Yujiro Hanma!"
Hanma Yujiro slowly walked out of the Qinglong Passage, his red hair fluttering in the wind, still wearing his iconic black martial arts uniform.
He walked up to Kuroki Gensai, stared at him, and then the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
“I hope you’re a mouth-watering delicacy, hahaha!”
"Don't let me down!"
In the face of Hanma Yujiro's provocation, Kuroki Gensai remained silent and disdainful.
At this time, Tokugawa Mitsunari on the rostrum held the microphone and shouted loudly: "Hakimi!"
At the same time, at the edge of the arena, a bald monk beat the war drum loudly!
"Boom!"
The ultimate battle is about to begin!
