Martial Arena Everyone in the audience has already taken their seats. Leaving aside the high-level dignitaries from various countries and their relatives and entourage in the VIP area, the number of people in the audience at this moment also exceeds 40,000.
Of course, there are far more people who want to watch Samurai Tournament this time. At this moment, in a place where Nightview City has a large flow of people and enough open space, a rudimentary platform has been built. The ninjas of the Aburame Clan use Chameleon Bug to broadcast live footage on a huge screen in real time.
There are multiple such open spaces, and the screen is large enough, so every open space is crowded with people standing there.
Fortunately, Yayoi had anticipated this situation in advance and had already dispatched police officers from Military Police Force to manage these crowds and avoid stampedes and crowding.
In the arena of Martial Arena, it is Kakuzu who serves as the referee of the competition.
His strength is strong enough, whether it is Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, they are very good. If any accident happens in the live competition, his strength can also stop it in time.
This time the rules of Samurai Contest Tournament are very simple, there are only a few rules that must be followed.
First, you are not allowed to use Ninjutsu.
Although most Samurai will not use Ninjutsu, it is inevitable that there will be some outliers. After all, the skills are not overwhelming. Samurai who can order Ninjutsu is also relatively common in the previous Warring States Era.
Second, it is prohibited to take drugs, such as Soldier Pill to supplement physical strength and Chakra, or illegal drugs that greatly enhance Chakra, etc., all are prohibited.
Third, you can carry short knives like Wakizashi, but concealed weapons are not allowed, such as Kunai, Shuriken, Senbon, etc.
Fourth, leaving the ring or admitting defeat means being eliminated. Falling to the ground does not count. However, death is prohibited.
When one party encounters a sufficiently fatal danger, the referee has the power to intervene, but after intervention, the person being rescued will be automatically eliminated from the game.
Fifth, each competition should not exceed half an hour. If it exceeds half an hour, both sides will be eliminated.
The above rules can be said to take care of many aspects. As Samurai, you only need to show your Swordsmanship to the fullest.
The top ten in the end will receive prizes from this competition.
The champion will receive a bonus of 50 million taels, and can customize a Chakra Blade with high-quality materials for free from the Land of Night official. The materials are provided by Land of Night, and will be awarded the honorary title of 'Ninja World First Swordsman'.
The runner-up will receive a bonus of 30 million yuan. If the materials can be provided, Land of Night can build Chakra Blade for free.
The third runner-up will receive a bonus of 10,000,000 yuan, and additional rewards are the same as those for the runner-up.
There is no additional reward for the remaining fourth to tenth place, but each person will receive a bonus of 5 million taels.
Simple rules, generous rewards, not to mention the Samurais who are about to participate in the competition, even the many spectators at the scene, most of them are extremely enthusiastic and cheered enthusiastically at the scene, as if these rewards will belong to them.
Yayoi, who was sitting on the seat, saw that the atmosphere was already lively and could not help but be satisfied with the effect.
These bonuses and prizes may be considered a huge amount of money for an individual and can lead to a high-quality life for many years, but for an entire country, they are nothing.
The time came to 8:30, and the conference officially started.
There are a total of sixty-four Samurai standing in the ring, all men, women, old and young. Each of them has experienced hundreds of battles, and they all have strength and speed that surpass ordinary ninjas and Samurai.
After showing a circle, Kakuzu asked sixty-two of them to go down, leaving No. 1 and No. 2 behind.
The sixty-two people who left got the odd-numbered Samurai and walked down to the seats in the east waiting area, while the even-numbered Samurai went to the west waiting area to wait.
Number 1 Samurai from Land of Night and number 2 Samurai from outside both came to the center of the ring, about ten meters apart.
Every Samurai who passed the audition is a Samurai with both strength and speed. For them, this distance is within the instantaneous attack range.
The arena they were standing on now had a standard circular shape, about eighty meters in diameter.
In addition to Kakuzu, there are four Land of Night Jonin occupying the four positions of the circular arena to further prevent accidents from happening.
"Start."
The moment Kakuzu's words fell to the ground, the two samurai, whose hands were naturally hanging down, pressed down on the handles of the katana at their waists almost simultaneously.
As if they knew what kind of action the other would make, the two of them raised their heels simultaneously, tapped their toes on the ground, and rushed forward like a swift wind.
The biting cold light swayed in the air as the blade was unsheathed, and the loud collision of the blades resounded throughout the arena.
Unlike ninja battles, Samurai's battles are quite straightforward.
They don't need to distance themselves and think about what kind of Ninjutsu to use against the enemy. Their only means of attack is the Samurai knife in their hands.
It's purely about strength and speed, and the competition on Swordsmanship.
The Swordsmanship of No. 1 Samurai tends to open and close, and the Swordsmanship of No. 2 Samurai appears smart and has more changes.
All kinds of exquisite sword moves are at their fingertips, making them seem to do whatever they want.
There is no Samurai who can stand on this stage, and there is no Samurai who cannot pass Swordsmanship.
The sword energy that flew out turned into white swords and struck the stone slab of the arena, cutting out shallow white marks. The result was a deafening sound, indicating that the power of their sword energy after bursting out was enough to cut iron and break stone.
But the strength of the arena seemed beyond their imagination.
The two Samurai looked at each other and saw the importance in each other's eyes.
This arena is made of specially reinforced stones, allowing them to fight and fight freely on it.
No longer holding back, the two men rushed towards each other and fought with all their strength.
"Drink!"
A dull, thunderous shout came from the mouth of No. 1 Samurai, and he slashed with his sword.
Not to be outdone, No. 2 Samurai raised his knife to block, thinking about how to counterattack next.
However, just as he was thinking about how to fight back, he suddenly sensed a hint of danger approaching.
Boom!
Without any warning, a blast made No. 2 Samurai's eardrums hurt.
The blade of No. 1 Samurai erupted with an extremely terrifying shock wave, like a cannonball hitting him. The special stone slabs under his feet were shattered, sputtering out tiny pebbles.
No. 2 Samurai had no time to resist, and his body was blown away by the violent impact and rolled more than ten meters away.
He climbed up and just stood still when the coldness under his neck was biting. No. 1 Samurai appeared next to him, and the opponent's Samurai knife quietly came across.
No. 2 Samurai's body stiffened and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He now felt like his head was buzzing, and his body felt like he had been hit in the front by a cannonball. His arms were shattered and bleeding was flowing down his arms.
What kind of Swordsmanship is this?
Could it be that explosives were secretly stuffed inside the Samurai knife?
Land of Night's local Samurai is so insidious!
