The next fight has begun. Mujin called out the next two names after the previous match had finished.
On this day some compete once and some compete twice, although most have competed twice but there are still participants who wait for the second and third match turns.
On the field of the Tiger Circle Arena had presented an interesting match between Akira from the Eternal Fire Academy against Zenbu from the Single Blood Bond.
Akira looks more aggressive in attacking compared to Zenbu. Right after Mujin gave his cue, Akira continued to attack Zenbu with his palms.
Every now and then he hits and kicks quickly, the fire that coats his hands and feet making Zenbu quite a hassle.
Zenbu is very passive in attack, all he does is defend. It was natural for the young man who had just entered the Tiger Tournament match to look very passive like Zenbu.
Most of them have not seen the cruelty and cruelty of a human being, they just think that if they become a swordsman then their life becomes better. But that is only the assumption of some people. People who have authority will indeed live better but people who do not have authority and power then his life will be the same as before or mediocre.
Zenbu's hand movements were quite gurgling, but Akira was able to deflect his punches easily. Now Akira again hit Zenbu repeatedly.
Not long after Akira's palms glowed red, after which he pointed his palms at Zenbu's chest. The fire from his palm made Zenbu grimace in pain.
Zenbu's gap was very open, the opportunity was not missed by Akira to unleash his fire-covered hand punch towards Zenbu. In an instant the Zenbu sprawled on the ground after being hit by Akira's hand.
The winner of this match was won by Akira from the Eternal Fire School. Wanting to maximize the time as much as possible, Mujin immediately switched to the next game.
Akira himself has only competed twice, today he still has one match to enter the round of 32. Of course it will be the deciding round for Akira.
The next match between Gurojimaru of the Eternal Fire School against Muromachi Kuroaru of the Muromachi Clan.
The audience again muttered and encouraged the two participants who were going to compete. The sound of applause and shouting from the audience echoed in the Tiger Circle Arena.
Mujin who led the preliminary round and became the referee immediately told Gurojimaru and Kuroaru to take the distance. Once both are at a predetermined distance. Mujin immediately gave a warning to start the match.
"The match between Gurojimaru of the Eternal Fire School against Muromachi Kuroaru of the Muromachi Clan begins!" Mujin immediately took a few steps back after the two participants gave each other an aura of intimidation. A clash of red-colored aura with purple-colored aura was visible in the air.
Gurojimaru used a spear as his weapon, he took the initiative to attack Kuroaru first. Gurojimaru rotated his spear to give Kuroaru a fire round attack.
The circle-shaped flame trajectory that led to Kuroaru was quite wide, seen Kuroaru taking distance from Gurojimaru who attacked him.
Seeing the circle-shaped trajectory of the fire pointing towards him, he, Kuroaru drew his sword and slashed his sword from afar creating a sword slash in the form of a purple wind gust that made the flames that blazed from his opponent's spear backfire on his opponent.
Gurojimaru has participated in the Tiger Tournament of Kai three times, and now is the fourth time Gurojimaru has entered the Tiger Tournament of Kai at the age of fifteen years.
"Not bad either, but you've managed to make me feel really upset!" Gurojimaru again turned his spear in front. The flames of his spear technique shot rapidly towards him, then the flames were seen circling Gurojimaru's spear.
"Feel this!" Gurojimaru ran towards Kuroaru while swinging his fire-covered spear.
Spears and swords clashed against each other, the two exchanged attacks again for a few minutes. Kuroaru's swordplay is quite proficient, he can give incision wounds all over Gurojimaru's body.
The red cloak worn by Gurojimaru became torn from the sword piercings Kuroaru launched.
"The Eternal Flame Raging Spear!"
Gurojimaru channeled his profound energy into his spear then he swung his spear at Kuroaru. Gurojimaru's spear swing was so fast and powerful, even Kuroaru's sword stalk was not an obstacle.
"sorry. This year I want to feel the round of 32!" Gurojimaru smiled sinisterly at Kuroaru before he said, "Try again next year, junior!" Kuroaru's sword was thrown because it was unable to withstand Gurojimaru's spear attack.
Kuroaru was clearly defeated, but Gurojimaru did not give his opponent a chance to raise his hand or give up. As his spear was still swinging, Gurojimaru deliberately aimed it at Kuroaru's chest.
Several warriors from the eastern stronghold stared intently at Gurojimaru. While the swordsman of the Muromachi Clan did not care much about seeing one of its members seriously injured, considering the number of their young swordsmen was quite a lot.
Kuroaru grimaced in pain while trying to keep looking strong. It was not long before Mujin raised his hand and announced Gurojimaru as the winner.
"The winner is Gurojimaru from the Eternal Fire College!" Mujin appointed Gurojimaru as the winner. Then he gestured for the medical team to immediately give Kuroaru treatment.
Kuroaru's wounds weren't too deep but Gurojimaru's actions almost made a fatal wound on his opponent. Given the rules in the preliminary round should not kill or give fatal injuries to his opponent, of course Gurojimaru's actions attract the attention of participants who wait for their turn to compete in the preliminary round. Most of them hope not to meet Gurojimaru considering that the fierce-looking young man still leaves one match to go to the round of 32.
Mujin looked at Gurojimaru who was walking back to the audience bench where the Eternal Fire School swordsman was watching. Then he felt his courtesy in leading the match almost made a participant miss the opportunity to become a swordsman for the rest of his life.
"I need to be more deft. It's still the preliminary round. If the round of 32 is big then the rules change. Killing or fatally wounding your enemy is allowed." Mujin sat up while looking up at the sky. He did not care about the many people who kept watching him daydreaming alone in the middle of the field.
The next fight begins again. Mujin immediately switched to the next match, he called out the next two names.
"Roka from the Temple of the New Sun and Shitanda from the Waterfall of Truth please rush to the center of the field!" With his relaxed but loud voice, Mujin looked at the two participants who were walking towards him.
The black-haired young girl named Roka used a small needle weapon. While the young girl who has curly hair named Shitanda uses a sword as her weapon.
Mujin immediately took charge of the match, he signaled the two participants to retreat backwards and stand at a predetermined distance.
"The match between Roka from the New Sun Temple against Shitanda from the Waterfall of Truth begins!" The audience applauded both participants as Mujin gave a warning to start the match.
Shitanda retreated backwards when she heard the cue from Mujin. The needle attack thrown by Roka was extremely fast. The needles had been given a sleeper fluid so that the opponent was weakened and felt sleepy.
Shitanda looked at Roka's hand. Then he tried to start the attack by running towards his opponent. Shitanda's sword swing was quite skillful, her slash was straight towards Roka.
Seeing Shitanda attacking him, Roka took out dozens of needles and threw them back at Shitanda to keep the enemy away from him.
"I must force him to fight long-distance!" Roka released her yellow-colored body aura towards Shitanda. He turned his body aura into an aura of intimidation.
Shitanda parried every needle that Roka threw towards her, she was now getting closer to Roka. Confidently, Shitanda slashed her sword from afar forming a whirlpool that pointed straight towards Roka.
Looking at the sword technique from Shitanda which was quite troublesome, Roka's sweet face shriveled. The young girl touched the ground and made an earthen wall to hold back the whirlpool of sword techniques from Shitanda.
"It doesn't seem easy!" Roka thought of a way to defeat Shitanda. After all he wanted to feel for himself the atmosphere of the round of 32. All young warriors would want to compete in the round of 32.
Roka felt Shitanda approaching towards her. He stuck dozens of needles on the ground, the needles that had been given the sleeper fluid he spread on the ground. Then Roka calmly waited for the attack from Shitanda.
The protective earth wall that Roka made was destroyed when Shitanda cut it, Roka quickly dodged Shitanda's sword slash.
"It!" Shitanda was surprised when she was about to stand, there was no place for her to stand because the ground around her was filled with needles facing upwards to plug the taper tip into the human foot.
Shitanda whirled his body in the air, everyone chuckling in awe including his own opponent. Roka was silent for a few seconds looking at Shitanda who passed her needle trap.
But Roka quickly bit her lower lip snapping her admiration at Shitanda. Before the enemy rested on the ground, Roka took a needle coated with sleeper fluid towards Shitanda.
Roka did not expect to see Shitanda responding to the needle trap in an unexpected way, as Shitanda twisted her body in mid-air to move away from the needles scattered on the ground.
"Great!" Shitanda was also unable to twist her body a second time, it took a great deal of energy to do that. One needle shot towards him, leaving Shitanda out of her mind to dodge the needle attack.
Just as Shitanda's feet were resting on the ground with no needles scattered, the one needle that was already right in his chest could neither be he stalked with his sword nor did he avoid with his body movements.
Roka smiled when she saw her needle stuck in Shitanda's chest. Not how long did the curly haired girl collapse her body forward. Roka quickly restrained Shitanda's body.
"Why am I sleepy..." Shitanda was confused because her eyes felt very sleepy. Not how long his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
Roka smiled seeing her enemy hit by her needle that had been coated with sleeper fluid.
"Sorry, Shitanda. I want to feel the round of 32" Roka said as she pulled out her needle stuck in Shitanda's chest. Then he lifted Shitanda's body to stand up.
Mujin raised his hand and pointed at Roka as the winner.
"The winner is Roka from the New Sun Temple!" Mujin ended the match, not how long he gestured for the medics to carry Shitanda's sleeping body.
Roka smiled faintly when she saw Shitanda's body being taken to the medical room in the Tiger Circle Arena. Shitanda was just asleep, all the young warriors who saw the fight just now became aware, the fight was teaching them to be more astute like Roka.
In the fight not only strength is needed, but young warriors become aware if strategy is also necessary in the fight. With good tactics, they can easily win the game.
After Roka returned to the spectator bench where the swordsman from the New Sun Temple, Mujin quickly switched back to the next match.
