Birds of a feather flock together, and people divide into groups. Even in the martial arts world, there are high and low, strong and weak.
This is a realistic topic. Between people and between schools, they may unite because of the same martial arts philosophy, or they may invisibly divide into different gradients based on their strength.
Complete equality does not exist. The more powerful a school is, the more it pays attention to the display of etiquette, but this kind of etiquette is actually based on strength.
If the strength is not equal, the etiquette given may only be symbolic and polite. Only when the strength is equal can each other truly show enough respect.
Just like the attitude towards the seed players and disciples of the major schools in previous martial arts tournaments, the organizers would arrange for the disciples to welcome them in advance. This is what strength speaks for!
Only some ordinary schools that are not taken seriously need to go up the mountain themselves.
"The most famous schools in today's martial arts world include Kame Sen Ryu, Crane Sen Ryu, Duolin Temple, Maple Leaf Ryu, Thousand Crane Ryu, Cross Fist, Monster Group... and the legendary guardian line of the Holy Land."
Sith knew these sects very well, and shook his head at Mu Yang: "It's just that in recent years, the Turtle Immortal Style and the Crane Immortal Style have basically disappeared. It is said that the guardian lineage also has clan rules and will not easily leave the Kailin Holy Land."
"So in the world of martial arts, Dorin Temple, Maple Leaf Style, Qianzuru Style, etc. have been the schools with the strongest presence in recent decades."
Speaking of the current situation in the martial arts world, Mu Yang could hear a sense of sadness in Sisi's tone.
This does not mean that the masters of famous schools are stronger than other schools. There are also great masters in small schools. For example, Muyang's teacher Esaf is definitely a strong man, but because the overall scale of Tenshin-ryu is not large, he is ranked in the middle. school.
Those major sects have many disciples, and their overall quality is naturally stronger than those of other sects.
In addition to these masters, there is also a group of more special masters on the earth, which are monsters that can speak human words. They generally have the appearance of wild beasts, but because of their intelligence, it is not appropriate to classify them as beasts...
…
Maple Leaf Island is an island with a bulge in the middle and lower sides.
Like many islands, the temperature on Maple Leaf Island is very pleasant. Even in the cold winter season in the southern region, there is a gentle breeze blowing on the island.
There is a main peak in the middle of the island called Maple Leaf Peak. Halfway up the mountainside of Maple Leaf Peak, there is a magnificent martial arts gym. That was the Maple Leaf Martial Arts Hall, where this year's World's Best Martial Arts Tournament was held.
The winding path leading to the foot of the mountain is full of beautiful green trees and beautiful birds, and the mountains are secluded. The green stone path has dense leaves on both sides. Looking into the distance through the pass on the mountainside, the clear sea water comes into view, showing a sparkling and beautiful scenery. , the breeze blows, and you can smell the sea water.
Entering the martial arts hall, more and more martial arts masters gathered around.
Mu Yang glanced around and saw many people wearing Maple Leaf Style martial arts uniforms leading a group of people around. Mu Yang judged that those were disciples of the big sect.
"Mu Yang, come here quickly." Sis called from the side. Mu Yang hurriedly walked over and wrote his name on the registration desk.
"Tian Xin Liu, Mu Yang!"
The staff read it over once and handed over a number plate after confirming it was correct.
"This is your number. When the time comes, we will directly draw lots and participate in the competition based on the number."
"Thanks."
Mu Yang politely thanked him, then glanced at the number "241" on the number, and carefully put the number plate away.
At this time, the martial arts competition was not an entertainment competition for the audience, so the rules of the competition were somewhat different from those of later generations.
In the arena here, there will be no qualifier selections to increase the viewing pleasure. Every game will be held directly in front of the masters of the major genres.
Firstly, the level of players is very different from that of later generations, so there is no need for selection; secondly, professional viewers have sharper eyesight, and by competing in front of them, more advantages and disadvantages can be seen, which is good for every player. A grind!
Of course, such a competition system also doubles the pressure. It can be said that in every game, the contestants must go all out so as not to embarrass their own genre.
After registering, he visited the martial arts hall under the leadership of Maple Leaf Style disciples. Then Mu Yang sat under the shade of a tree not far from the registration point, quietly watching the contestants who came to register.
At this time, the sunset was already slanting in the sky, and seagulls were cawing in the distance. After looking at the time, the staff responsible for registration began to close the stalls. Muyang and Sis did not stop and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. When the registration deadline came, Muyang learned from the competition office that a total of 315 players had signed up for this competition.
This number is much larger than the number of people in the 21st World No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the original work, which shows that the current martial arts practice is actually very prosperous.
However, in the later stages, due to the rise of technology and martial arts events becoming more entertainment-oriented, many schools chose to remain in seclusion, and professional contestants gradually decreased. This is a historical trend, and there is nothing we can do about it.
…
This morning, the world's best martial arts club finally opened!
Maple Leaf Martial Arts Gym was crowded with people.
"Ah, look there quickly. That's Master Xiulin of Duolin Temple. The one next to him is his disciple, right?"
An exclamation sounded in his ears, and the entire martial arts hall immediately became excited.
Mu Yang turned around and saw from a distance an old monk wearing a yellow monk's robe walking into the martial arts hall accompanied by a disciple of the Maple Leaf style. There was also a young monk with a delicate face beside him.
"Duolin Temple... isn't that the place where Klin stayed before he became a disciple of Immortal Turtle?" Mu Yang squinted his eyes and felt a grand aura from the old monk.
I quietly took out the energy detector and conducted a test, and the data I got was actually 105!
105 combat power, which is already extremely powerful among earthlings.
You must know that Kame Sennin during the Dragon Ball Z period only had a combat power of 139.
Although this Master Xiulin is not as good as the "God of Martial Arts", he is still considered one of the giants in the martial arts world.
"It is indeed a school with a long tradition, and the foundation is really profound." Sis looked at the direction of the Duolin Temple players, not sure whether he was envious or admired.
"Uncle Sith, I am not inferior to them either." Mu Yang's eyes fell on the young monks beside Master Xiulin.
"Then you have to work hard." Sis smiled and patted Mu Yang's shoulder encouragingly.
For him, as long as Muyang can achieve the top eight results in the martial arts tournament, he will be very satisfied.
As for competing with celebrities such as Duolin Temple, forget it.
Seeing that Sis didn't take his words seriously, Mu Yang grinned and said no more.
This Sith uncle obviously doesn't have as much confidence in him as Isaac, but it's not surprising. Tenshin-ryu has been weak for a long time. Compared with other illustrious schools, it is normal for him not to be favored. I don't know when I show my performance. What kind of expression would he have when he was in strength.
In today's martial arts association, the older generation of martial arts masters are basically on the sidelines, while the younger generation plays the mainstay role.
Mu Yang thought that the master named Xiulin was no match for him, but as for the others... he had the urge to give it a try.
