After hitting a wall with "Meili", Mu Yang didn't care too much. As for his wife, it was okay to have a temper. Anyway, he was absolutely confident that he could calm her down and teach her not to be arrogant.
While Muyang and others were chatting with each other, the staff of the martial arts club were busy debugging various instruments. Since this was the first official martial arts conference, all work was done very carefully.
Soon, the top 16 matches will begin, and there will be a draw before that.
Mu Yang and the others put their hands into the lottery box and took out the numbered balls from it. Soon the order of the top 16 battles was determined. The order was:
The first game, Asso VS Booker.
The second game, Barney VS Joe Root.
The third game, Liz VS Ayori.
The fourth game, Mellie VS Firth.
The fifth game, Lida VS Arlo.
Game 6, Son Wuhan VS Kane.
The seventh game, Muyang VS Wuting.
Game 8, Gilo VS Nmondi.
Except for the four players in the top 16, Yayori, Joe Root, Firth, and Nmondi, whom Mu Yang had never met before, all the remaining contestants either participated in the previous World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament or Muyang’s acquaintances all have a certain understanding.
After the schedule was hung up, Wu Ting took a look and grinned: "My luck is not very good. I met Mu Yang in the first game. Maybe I will be eliminated soon."
Kane's expression was not very good, and he shook his head dejectedly, "I met Mu Yang in the last term. Although I didn't meet him again in this term, I did meet a disciple of Teacher Wu Tian. He will definitely be eliminated. Whose luck will it be?" Not as bad as me.”
"You can't say that..." Sun Wuhan shrugged, "According to the arrangement of the competition, I may meet Mu Yang in the semi-finals."
"Then we've reached the semi-finals at least!" Kane looked envious.
Mu Yang smiled and said: "Don't badmouth me. This is decided by drawing lots. We will meet sooner or later anyway, so you don't have to look like this."
Sun Wufan: "..."
Kane: "..."
Does that mean you will be eliminated sooner or later
I always feel inexplicably feeling even sadder.
"Forget it, we participate in the martial arts competition to train ourselves, not to be competitive and go for the championship title. The result of the competition is not the most important, don't you think?"
Sun Wuhan clapped his hands and said.
If the previous Budokai was still a competition between the major schools, then with the officialization of the Budokai, the competition has become much less and more of a competition between the contestants.
"That's you guys, I think I'm a real person, and the title of champion is quite nice..." Kane said admiringly.
Hearing this, Arlo, who was also from Maple Leaf Flow, could only smile. His junior brother was indeed a real person.
Tom—
Huang Zhongda Lu's gong sounded, and the official host of the martial arts association stepped onto the ring and announced the rules of the competition in front of thousands of spectators.
Since it is a competition open to the general public, the organizers of the martial arts event have taken into account the general public's understanding of martial arts, so they have arranged for hosts to provide commentary during the competition. This will become a routine in every martial arts meeting in the future.
The host does not need to be very powerful, but he must do his duty and explain the game situation clearly.
"I have kept everyone waiting for a long time. After decades, the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Association is now in its twelfth session. Starting from this session, it will be officially hosted and will be held every five years. The venue will be chosen in different places around the world. Just yesterday, 768 experts from all over the world decided on the top 16 of the conference after a day of selection."
On the competition stage, the host held a loudspeaker and announced passionately.
The entire martial arts field is about fifty meters long and wide. The ground is paved with hard stone slabs. There is a green lawn between the martial arts platform and the wall, where the staff maintain the order of the competition.
Three sides of the martial arts arena face the audience, and one side leads directly to the martial arts gymnasium.
The layout of the entire venue is roughly the same as the martial arts meet in the original book, but because it is an official event, a lot of effort has been put into the layout of the venue. There is a high platform over the auditorium, which is enough to accommodate thousands of spectators to watch the game at the same time without worrying about crowding.
"Without further ado, let's move on to the first match. Asuo from the Tenjin style will face off against Booker from the Shikami style!"
"Tenjin-ryu was originally called Tenshin-ryu, and it was the sect of Mu Yang, the champion of the previous competition..."
When the host announced the first game, he introduced the information of both participating parties.
Following the host's introduction, the originally lively crowd became even more excited and noisy. The audience all poked their heads towards the competition ring. It was their first time to watch such a unique competition.
"Asuo, it's your turn to play."
Mu Yang patted Asuo on the shoulder, and then looked to the other side, where the flowing Booker was also ready. After that, the two tightened the ties around their waists and jumped onto both sides of the martial arts platform.
As the two men took the stage, warm cheers erupted in the venue.
The two players looked at each other for a while and adjusted their status to combat mode. There were no unnecessary pleasantries. After both sides exchanged greetings, the battle began immediately, and a fierce whirlwind rolled up above the ring.
Bang, the two people moved quickly, and the sound of crackling fighting sounded in the venue.
The host holding the loudspeaker was stunned for a moment. For him, who has hosted fighting events all year round, hosting a martial arts conference for the first time was both fresh and tempering. And he didn't expect that this was just the first fight, and the pace of the fight would be so intense.
Fortunately, his good professionalism allowed him to adjust quickly and provide wonderful commentary for everyone. These explanations may not all be correct, but they can ignite the atmosphere of the scene. At this point, the host is qualified.
"Muyang, who do you think will win between the two of them?"
Wu Ting looked at the two people on the ring with a smile on his face.
Mu Yang said: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses. We might as well see how long the game lasts."
"In the short term, Booker will have a certain advantage, but as time goes by, the consumption of both of them will increase, and then Asuo will have the advantage."
Both the former Tenshin-ryu and the current Tenjin-ryu are good at continuous combat, and their use of ki is more sustained. In addition, Booker's Shikana-ryu is good at assault combat. If the winner cannot be decided in a short time, then Asuo's advantages will become more and more obvious.
Wu Ting said in surprise: "In other words, you are optimistic about Asuo?"
"It can be said that as long as he can survive it in the early stage!" Mu Yang said very confidently.
Wu Ting nodded and continued to look at the two people on the ring. Sure enough, as he was unable to affect Asuo in a short period of time, Booker's breath began to become disordered. Even after using four punches, the balance of victory was still Falling towards Asuo.
Seeing this, Wu Ting admitted that Mu Yang's eyesight was much better than his.
In the audience, Esaf folded his arms and had a faint smile on his face. Looking at the performance of the disciples on the stage, he felt extremely happy.
In addition, the Tenjin-ryu disciples also stood up, looking very excited.
"Brother Asuo, come on!" April cheered, shaking her arms, her brown hair fluttering in the wind.
"Asuo's performance has not lost its standard. This game should be a sure win." Although Ia was eliminated in the preliminaries, his mentality remained very good. At this time, he was sitting in the stands with other classmates, his eyes serious. and looked at it.
Sure enough, as the competition gradually became more intense, Asuo's advantage became more and more obvious, and even some laymen gradually realized that he might win. Finally, with a Qigong wave sweep, he won the first game.
Esaf and several other elders of the division were laughing from ear to ear. This was another qigong wave. The qigong wave they were proud of before was now "blooming everywhere" among the younger generation. Looking at these young people One generation, I have to say that Tenjin-ryu is getting better and better, and they gradually feel that they are getting old.
How can I feel like this? I'm obviously only middle-aged!
The second match is Barney VS Joe Root.
Barney is the descendant of the cross boxing school, and Joe Root Muyang has never heard of his name before. It is said that he is an evergreen tree in the fighting world and a figure who has been the champion of the fighting world for many years. Many of the audience at the scene came because of his name.
This match cannot be said to be very exciting, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Although the cross boxing school is a martial arts school, it actually has some similarities with folk fighting skills. It was born out of this, and finally after some "arduous" Fight, Barney wins.
Joe Root's defeat heralded the annihilation of all representatives of the fighting world and other regular events, and the atmosphere at the scene was surprisingly strange for a moment.
The original banners were put back, and there was no need to use the fireworks used to celebrate the victory. Some enthusiastic fans even cursed, slandered and left the venue angrily.
Of course, more people saw a whole new world through this martial arts meeting, broadened their horizons, and developed a strong interest in martial arts.
The third game, Liz VS Yayori.
There is not much suspense in this match. After all, Liz from Chizuru-ryu is the seed player in the last martial arts tournament, while Ayori is just a disciple of a small school. She has reached the top sixteen this time, and she is already the tallest among the dwarfs. Yes, there is a bit of luck involved.
In the end, Liz won.
In the fourth game, Mellie came on the stage, and her opponent was the previously unknown Firth.
Although the other party is not well-known, Muyang still paid a lot of attention to this game. After all, his fiancée Meili (Mexia) participated in the game, and he also wanted to get a glimpse of how much Mexia has grown. .
