Chapter 505 - The Martial Arts Conference Began

He brought Shinji Sakurakami to the edge of the venue and saw Miyamoto Musashi and Linghua from afar.

Miyamoto Musashi had two knives on his back. With his appearance, the people around him avoided him. Linghua stood beside him with a sword hanging from her waist. She looked extremely flirtatious.

Lei Luo greeted them and stood beside them. After drinking yesterday, the two of them treated Lei Luo as a friend.

"This is?" Miyamoto Musashi asked Shinji Sakurakami, who was beside Lei Luo. He hadn't seen this person yesterday, which made Miyamoto Musashi's heart itch a little.

"A local friend. She's here to watch the martial arts tournament."

Lei Luo and his companion didn't know how to explain themselves either. Fortunately, they said so, so Linghua and Miyamoto Musashi could slowly guess the specifics.

Next to them, Shinji Sakurakami was still looking around. When she heard someone calling her, she greeted the two of them with a smile.

Soon, she started chatting with Linghua. After all, they were two girls, and it was better to be together than by Lei Luo's side.

Shinji Sakurakami also looked very good. This was because she had asked Lei Luo to fix up her appearance. She chatted with Linghua about some of the delicacies and scenery in the northern border. They mingled together, and a burst of laughter rang out, attracting the attention of the surrounding people. However, due to Grandmaster Linghua's prestige, no one dared to go forward.

The people here might not necessarily want to get into the top ten. Some might only want to make a name for themselves, some wanted to recruit people for their sects, and most people wanted to be accepted as hangers-on by the big families.

The opening ceremony of the martial arts conference soon began. The heads of the three big families sat on the high platform.

The Takeda family head was a tall middle-aged man. He looked particularly dignified. The armor on his body was extremely thick and heavy. He looked extremely belligerent. The scar on his face also showed the extent of his martial arts experience.

The head of the Nakajima family was a thin old man in yellow clothes with a long beard. He looked at the audience with a smile. This big shot who was in charge of the education of the northern border was respected by the people of the northern border. It was not only because of the name of the aristocratic family.

His disciples were all over the northern border. The more powerful ones had a lot of weight in the military and political circles of the northern border. This was also one of the terrifying powers of the Nakajima family.

The Sakasaka family's master was a little different. He was an old man with lowered eyebrows. The white clothes on his body made him look like an immortal. However, at first glance, he looked ordinary. This was also the impression of everyone.

However, the Sakasaka family was in charge of the sacrificial ceremony. In addition, the Sakasaka family was considered to be deeply rooted in the northern borderline. The time of their inheritance far surpassed that of the Takeda and Nakajima families.

Looking at the three of them, Lei Luo did not see the real ruler of the northern borderline, General Zuli, who stood out from the hundred years of chaos in the northern borderline.

A few hundred years ago, the northern borderline was under the jurisdiction of the royal family entrusted by Emperor Victor. However, under the jurisdiction of the royal family, the People's livelihood in the northern borderline was declining. The war continued. A general rose up and overthrew the royal family.

After that, a few generals led their own armies to go on expeditions. Among them, the ancestor of General Zuli was originally under one of the generals. On the eve of unification, he assassinated that general.

He suppressed the power of that general with lightning-fast methods before the current northern border government was born.

Lei Luo had read about the disappearance of the royal family in the books on the northern border when the news of Emperor Victor's death came. This was also because he was afraid of the majesty of Emperor Victor.

To be able to endure and scheme in such a huge mess and finally obtain the fruits of success and defeat all the opposing forces, such an ambitious person would definitely become Lei Luo's greatest enemy when the empire was on the verge of collapse.

But now, Lei Luo did not know who his successor was, but he did not have the mood to be afraid of this person.

After the three family heads took their seats on the stage, no one came to the main seat.

"The general will come on the last day to award the champion of the martial arts conference and confer the position of general. I hope that everyone can perform well in the martial arts conference."

The Takeda family head spoke to the people below the stage with a serious tone. The other two family heads spoke next. The Sakurazaka family head glanced at Lei Luo, but Lei Luo was still chatting with Miyamoto Musashi, and he didn't notice the hidden look in his eyes.

He was just a little scared, wondering if there were any changes on Morton's side?

As there were too many people participating, there were a thousand arenas on the stage. Within five minutes, the opponent would be heavily injured or knocked off the stage. The outcome would be determined by exhaustion or injury.

This was also a common competition method in the empire. There were magic monitors operated by dozens of low-level mages on the stage to prevent the judges from favoritism and cheating.

The first day was the audition stage. Of the hundreds of thousands of participants, only one thousand would be able to qualify for the next day's competition.

Lei Luo took his participation certificate and found his own ring. The number on it was obscured by magic. Only after the competition started would he know which ring he was on. This was also to prevent the judges from giving any favors to particular participants.

In fact, Lei Luo had already seen the number on the certificate. It was "Ring 538." As long as he stood at the end, he would be fine. Only the ringmaster would have the chance to enter the next day's competition.

Every match would have a half-hour break for those who successfully defended or fought in the ring. This was also a chance for the contestants to prevent others from taking turns to fight.

Lei Luo had yet to step onto the ring when Miyamoto Musashi's voice came from the ring not far away.

"Haha! You guys better come at me together, weaklings."

Miyamoto Musashi stabbed his two knives into the ground and looked at the people below. Lei Luo still wanted to go up a little later. His ranking in the ring wasn't that high. Fortunately, he wanted to see Miyamoto Musashi's strength.

The referee beside him could not help but smile bitterly when he saw this scene. This was a well-known grandmaster. Who would have thought that it would not be an easy thing to beat this former champion alone? After communicating with the head referee.

The referee said to the people beside the ring, "All of you come up together."

This was also the intention of the family heads. After all, this Miyamoto Musashi was untouchable. The family heads had sincerely tried to recruit him, but he did not care about anyone and did not give them face. This was also a chance for the martial artists under him.

No one had a chance to fight against Musashi Miyamoto alone. It was better to fight together. Perhaps it could teach him a lesson, and the remaining people would have a chance to enter tomorrow's competition. It would also allow them to display their strength.

The people below the stage looked at each other and jumped onto the stage one after another. The originally large stage was crowded together with more than a hundred people.

However, not a single person dared to enter within three feet of Miyamoto Musashi. His aura struck the people in front of him and almost pushed the people behind him down.

Everyone knew that if they didn't go up now, they wouldn't have the chance in the future.. They gritted their teeth and charged towards Musashi Miyamoto.
