After they stood there in shock for a moment, they finally came to their senses and all stretched out their arms in Qingdeng's direction:

"The winner - Natural Rishin-ryu, Shiweikan, Tachibana Aoden!"

Adachi, who had already climbed up from the ground, touched the helmet that had been stabbed by Aoto just now, and stared blankly at Aoto, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

"Thank you for teaching me..." Adachi took several deep breaths, suppressed the complicated expression on his face, and bowed to Aoto.

After Qingdeng quickly returned the salute, he hurriedly took off his protective gear under the instructions of the referee, made room for the next group of contestants, and returned to his seat with his bamboo sword.

When he returned to Okita, Sanako and the others, Aoto still felt dazed and had not yet completely recovered from the victory that had gone much more smoothly than he had imagined.

"Tachibana-kun! Congratulations! Victory in the first battle!" After Aoto came back, Okita was still clapping vigorously like a seal.

"Thank you." Qingto, who was amused by Okita's "seal applause", smiled slightly.

"Tangerine-kun..."

At this time, Chiba Jutaro's voice came over.

Looking around, he saw Chiba Jutaro casting a surprised and incomprehensible look at him.

Sanako, who was seated next to Qingden, had now recovered from the state of shock and returned to her former elegant high mountain flower appearance.

But - after Qingdeng came back from the competition, she couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Qingdeng like her brother.

Chiba Jutaro remained silent, staring directly at Qingneng. He seemed to want to say something to Qingneng, but he didn't know how to say it.

After a long while, he finally choked out a sentence: "You... have become a lot stronger..."

Faced with Chiba Jutaro's compliment, Qingto didn't know how to respond for a moment. He could only laugh a few times and softly replied, "Thank you..."

Qingdeng instantly killed his opponent with one sword, which undoubtedly affected many people's impression of Qingdeng at the scene, and their assessment of Qingdeng's strength instantly changed.

Those who previously felt that their strength was no worse than Qingdeng, and that if he were placed in Qingdeng's position, they would be able to achieve better results in a series of actions against the "anti-barbarians", now they seem to have guilty consciences and are low-spirited

His head was wet, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

Sitting on the seat in the training hall, Nitsuma Kan opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Aoto, who had sat back down between Okita and Sanako.

I saw the blood on his face fading rapidly, and his whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

…

…

This competition adopts a "one round to determine the winner" format.

As long as the head, chest and other vital parts are directly hit, it will be directly ruled as a loss and eliminated. Therefore, the pace of the game is quite fast, and a game can basically be completed in less than one minute.

One contestant after another was eliminated, and one contestant after another qualified to advance to the second round of competition.

Qingdeng returned to his seat and carefully watched the competition of other players.

The more he looked, the weirder his expression became...

Although it may be a bit straightforward to say this... Qingdeng always feels that the strength of these contestants is a bit too poor.

Basically, in Qingdeng's eyes, almost every player is poor in offense, weak in defense, loose in footwork, and slow in reaction.

If Qing Deng were to replace him, he felt that against every player he had faced so far, he could easily kill them with one sword strike.

——Is this the competition that the master told me that many very strong newcomers will participate in...

Qingdeng frequently looked at Zhousuke, who was sitting not far in front of him, with a strange look on his face...
