Gao Xianda felt relieved when he saw Badao being killed. He felt that a crisis had been resolved.

He felt that this time he used a knife to kill someone was effective.

But he didn't need to explain it to Kinoshita Tenkiro and the others. He celebrated it with delicious food and drinks, and then went back to bed early.

The next day, he got up early and came to the competition venue.

Today is actually the day when the Imperial Palace officially begins. The Emperor and the General are all present, and there are many public families accompanying each other. The court's important minister, Kuriki Kikuto, also stood up to give a speech to the audience.

Next is to let the top 32 players enter the court. After the preliminary round selection, there are only 32 swordsmen who have signed up for Yuqian Tianlan. From now on, they will hold a knockout competition to decide the final winner.

The winner can not only obtain the title of "the best in the world" sword saint, but also obtain a secret treasure treasured by the emperor. In addition, he also has the opportunity to become a general's military teaching.

Not only has a reputation, but also affordable.

Of course, even if you don’t win the final victory, if you perform well during the competition, you are likely to enter the sight of others.

There is only one winner, but there are many daimyos in Japan. If they can be recruited by the larger daimyos, they will have a stable income.

Unfortunately, according to the rules of the competition, it is not easy to go back alive.

The top 32 are the regular finals. In order to win the final victory, everyone is willing to fight to the death. So they no longer use wooden knives or sticks, but they take out all the most convenient weapons they use.

These are all real swords, and it is fatal to cut on the body. Unless you admit defeat in advance, it is really difficult for the loser to step down.

However, these swordsman have reached this point, and who is willing to admit defeat? They all have full confidence and want to obtain the Emperor's secret treasure.

The thirty-two swordsmen were arranged in the order of the qualifications of the top 32 yesterday. They no longer competed in the group order of Tiandi Xuanhuang, but were competed with No. 1 and No. 32, No. 2 and No. 31, and the first round of duels were held, and then the large and small were held in regrouping duels.

This is also a kind of protection for the organizer to protect the players. Those who win all three games and are faster will ultimately be more powerful than those who have wins and loses and finally advance with points.

Although there may be a component of luck, luck is also part of strength.

So, under the leadership of the staff, seed contestants came out one after another. Every time someone came out, someone would introduce him loudly and tell everyone who he was.

On the one hand, it is for the emperor and general to understand them, and on the other hand, it is also to help them expand their popularity.

The No. 1 seed player is naturally the sword saint Shizukahara Fu Chuan. Most of the players who faced him were timid, so he advanced to qualify as soon as possible.

His name as a sword saint is well-known all over the world, and everyone present has heard of it. However, some viewers may not have seen him before. So the audience below were talking about it, saying that this old man is worthy of being a sword saint!

Gao Xianda gave up because Nenkiki Rabbitaka came up and thought he was deliberately letting go, and the organizer immediately arranged a powerful player like Zhong Juan Zizhai for Gao Xianda, but Gao Xianda quickly defeated him.

As for the third player, another genius, so Gao Xianda was the second of these people and got the identity of the second seed player.

So the staff introduced: This is Imakawa Shin-shi from the Imakawa family, who practices martial arts of Kasuke Shinto.

Gao Xianda had not upgraded yet when he registered, and this sword technique was derived from the incense and the Shinto flow, so there was no problem in the incense and the Shinto flow.

When Tsukahara Fu Chuan next to him heard this, he couldn't help but look at Gao Xianda.

"Boy, are you also my disciple?" asked Fu Chuan Tsukahara. He traveled all over the country, with thousands of nominal disciples, and it is impossible for him to remember them all.

Gao Xianda nodded quickly, took out the seal, looked at Fu Chuan Tsukahara, and said, "Yes, Master. I am the Imakawa clan of Junfu Castle. When you went to Suruga to open a branch that year, I joined your subordinates. Have you also personally advised me?"

Fu Chuan Tsukahara took the seal, glanced at Gao Xianda again, and said, "Yeah, I have a little impression of it. Is Hirogoro? OK, very good!"

He couldn't remember it after saying this. The so-called little impression is all based on the conclusions drawn from reading the seal.

But this is not important. What is important is that Gao Xianda is a disciple of Xiangcai Shintoliu.

Gao Xianda was just laughing beside him.

Fu Tsukahara preached: "You kid is like, if you can enter the finals, I will pass on your and my mantle. I have been a sword saint for too many years, and I am old, and I don't value these false names. The reputation of Kasuka Shintori should be taken over by you young people."

"Yes, Master!" Gao Xianda nodded quickly. It's a pity that this is a public place, so Gao Xianda couldn't kneel down and salute.

Although it was not stated clearly, the meaning of Tsukahara Fu Chuan is very clear. I am old. If you really have the strength to be the second in the world, I will let you be the first in the world. In addition, my secret skills can also be taught to you to take over.

Of course, if you fail halfway, don't think about it.

This is already the strongest encouragement this old sword saint can give. Although he has many disciples, most of them are famous names or generals. There are not many successors who can inherit his legacy, and he is not satisfied with these people.

Gao Xianda has never been preached by Tsukahara Furu, but he has such strength and is indeed a talent that can be created.

The third seed player is a middle-aged man named Hidetotsugu. Although he looks very ordinary, Gao Xianda knew that he was the founder of Xinyinliu and would become the swordsman Nobuka, who is still above the Tsukahara Fuchu.

But he is still a military general now and has not begun to vigorously promote his new Yinliu, and his reputation is not great enough.

Gao Xianda was actually sandwiched between two sword saints. But that's fine. According to this competition system, Gao Xianda and the two of them would not be able to meet for a while.

At this time, the fourth seed player was announced, the Yoshioka Constitution from Kyoto Yoshioka Ruo.

Gao Xianda thought to himself: "Everyone is gone, so the seeds should be cancelled, right?"
