Chapter 325 Princess Nami’s Rage (1/2)
Xiao Bing was going all out, which brought all the eyes on him. The three masters of Transforming Strength had been the front-runners, but now Xiao Bing was also one of them. The rest of them were all considered losers, unless there was a dark horse.
Xiao Bing returned to his seat. Some candidates who had not paid much attention to him earlier were casting him hostile looks. Xiao Bing was a nobody to them before. But now he was their biggest opponent.
Then a master of Transforming Strength was to fight. His rival was quite a powerful master. But he was far better than his rival, so he won easily.
Xiao Bing was not interested in this kind of a match. He shot a glance at Jiro. Instead, it was Jiro’s match with that master of Transforming Strength that Xiao Bing was expecting. They were both of Transforming Strength. Xiao Bing believed he could see Jiro’s true power at this match.
Finally it was Jiro’s turn in the last group matches. The two walked into the fighting pit. Though the audience was very familiar with them, they had to introduce themselves, according to the routine. But this time their introduction was simple. “Nakamura Jiro.”
A sturdy man in his thirties with stiff hair said, “Yusuke Tianxiang.”
The chief executive said, “Now the match begins.”
The chief executive walked out of the pit after that. He was also very much looking forward to the fight between these two. But he wanted Yusuke to win, because he didn’t like the looks of Jiro. If Jiro won a slot, Princess Nami would definitely be angry.
Yusuke’s weapon was an iron stick, which was a rare choice for warriors. But it seemed interesting when a stick was used to fight three sabers.
Yusuke attacked with the stick first. He wielded it so skillfully and so fast that it formed a canopy before Jiro. Xiao Bing’s eyes brightened instantly. This man’s art of using that stick was interesting. Though the strikes did not seem complex, they were consistent, each more powerful than a last.
Yusuke didn’t show such power in the first few rounds of the match. He went all out in front of Jiro. It seemed that he intended to give his rival no opportunity to fight back.
Nakamura Jiro bent down. He was a short. He only came up to Yusuke’s waist. He looked even shorter when he bent down. The third saber on its back drew itself, then the whole audience became tense. It was the first time they had seen Jiro using the third blade.
The third saber was sent hurtling towards Yusuke after it was out of the sheath. The saber went through the canopy of the stick, aiming for Yusuke’s forehead. Soon the canopy went chaotic, revealing Yusuke’s weakness. Then Jiro drew his two other swords and held them in each hand. The sabers shone brightly. Jiro delivered a strike towards Yusuke. But what was strange was that the third saber was also attacking without anyone wielding it.
Xiao Bing’s eyes brightened instantly. He believed he acquired the key points of the art of using three sabers. But to understand it and to master it were two different things. The two sabers in Jiro’s hands were his main weapons. The third saber was controlled by the Saber-qi of the other two sabers. Wisps of Saber-qi kept hitting the third saber, which made it float in the air as if someone was wielding it. It was incredible and unimaginable. The artist must be has to be a master in order to perform it.
Though Jiro was as short as his sabers, he was extremely fast. Most people could not even see him clearly. They could only see the sabers dancing.
One would have an advantage if he could use two sabers. But this man could use three sabers. What kind of a man could be his equal?
As expected, Yusuke’s momentum was disturbed. It seemed that the stick was not equal to three sabers. The audience became tense and nervous.
Yusuke kept retreating. All of a sudden, Jiro lunged towards Yusuke as fast as lightning and thrust the sabers into his opponent’s heart.
Yusuke slumped to the ground, his eyes wide open. Victory to Yusuke!
Silence fell over the place when they saw a master of Transforming Strength killed by Jiro with such ease. Particularly for another master of Transforming Strength. There was a horrible expression on his face. He could only pray that his opponent tomorrow would not be Jiro. Since the princess was going choose two of them this time, there was still a chance for him to be one of her warriors.
The chief executive walked into the pit and announced the result, “Today’s tournament is now over. The top 10 and top 5 will be decided in tomorrow morning’s tournament. In the afternoon, Princess Nami will choose one to be her warrior. And the rest will be divided into two groups. Then they will fight till there is one man standing.”
The crowd became excited when they heard that Princess Nami will be attending tomorrow.
