One Piece: Heaven's Rebellion

Chapter 689 Sword Island 16
Sword Island, the rules of the island master battle are:

The sect masters of the four major sects of Sword Island can each nominate a swordsman to directly participate in the battle for the island master.

As for the other swordsmen of the four major sects, as well as the swordsmen of the numerous sects in Jiandao, if they want to be eligible to participate in the island master competition, they must pass the test of the Jiandao Presbyterian Church.

And those swordsmen who participated in the Presbyterian test had already ended half a month ago. A total of 32 swordsmen were selected to participate, plus the swordsmen recommended by the four major sword sects, a total of 36 swordsmen participated. Battle of supremacy.

And the island owner competition is to choose the strongest swordsman within two days to be the next island owner, ending the entire competition.

The schedule for the first day is to select 18 out of 4 swordsmen in the morning and 18 out of 4 swordsmen in the afternoon to participate in the quarter-finals on the second day, and finally select the strongest one to take over as the next island owner position.

……

Qingzhu took Li Wenjin and the others, and introduced to Li Wenjin the rules of the Island Master Contest while walking, which made Li Wenjin keep asking questions. After Qingzhu finished explaining, he asked directly: "I have a few questions now, you just follow me Let's talk about it!..."

"Ask! Boss..." Qingzhu said.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Wenjin asked, "Will you and Lexus meet today!".

Qingzhu shook his head: "No, the disciple recommended by our four sects will not meet outside of the quarter-finals. Only tomorrow is when I will meet him."

It seems that no matter where you are, there are always a group of privileged people. Even Jiandao, a pure place, is bound to have privileged people. Li Wenjin sighed in his heart, and continued to ask: "Aren't you 18 people in each group? How should we select 4 people, if we fight in twos, wouldn't there be two more people?".

Qingzhu smiled and said: "Boss, I think you are completely wrong. Each of us only fights once, and the nine winners will be judged by the elders and the four sect masters which four will advance."

"After all, there is no stipulation on the number of people participating in each island master battle. If there are hundreds of people, then our competition will be better than the previous month."

"Uh... what if the Presbyterian Council or the Four Great Sect Masters deliberately brush down the strong ones..." Li Wenjin asked in surprise.

Qingzhu shook his head and said: "The victorious swordsmen all have a chance to challenge. If they can defeat the strongest four selected by the elders and the four masters, they can participate in the quarter-finals, so the elders and the four masters Lord, it’s useless even if you deliberately brush down the strong ones, it will make the residents of Jiandao look down on them instead.”

It turns out that there are still such rules. No wonder Sword Island's island master battle can select the most powerful group of swordsmen every time. Sure enough, there are rules protecting it, the purest way of sword in Sword Island.

Thinking about things clearly, Li Wenjin said: "Then you, the guy who came out this afternoon, just came to see in the morning, who will be the strong enemies tomorrow?".

Qingzhu nodded: "No one can guarantee that there will be no new masters in the four-year competition. I have heard of it before. There is a swordsman who has devoted himself to practicing for 20 years and has never left the sect. Finally, at the age of 32 Go out to participate in the competition, defeat all opponents in one fell swoop, and win the position of the owner of Sword Island."

"Uh...that's really cruel..." Li Wenjin said in surprise.

"So, every opponent who participates in the Island Master Contest must be carefully observed. If you don't know the strength of the enemy, you will make many mistakes..." Qingzhu said in a serious tone.

I learned from Qingzhu that Li Wenjin didn't ask too much about the Island Owner Competition, because they were already close to the location of the competition, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually began to increase.

The location of the island master battle is Jianwang Town in the center of Jiandao. There is an old, rectangular stadium-type building outside the town, but the buildings here are completely open-air, and the scale is also very large. , can accommodate almost 3 people to watch together.

Under the leadership of Qingzhu, the group did not enter Jianwang Town, but went directly to the venue of the competition. At this time, there were already more than 3000 human beings sitting on the bleachers, and each of them brought a Saber, is discussing the result of today's game enthusiastically.

It's just very annoying that those swordsmen discussing the results of the competition basically said that Lexus will be the owner of the island, and they didn't even mention Qingzhu, the young master of Zhujianmen.

"Brother Qingzhu, you must blow up that shit Lexus, let them see how powerful you are," Ellis said very dissatisfied.

"Hehe...don't pay attention to them, they are just yelling." Lexus is indeed very strong, so Qingzhu didn't care too much about the audience saying that Lexus would win the game, so she was angry with Ellis In that tone, he comforted Ellis.

Although Alice was comforted by Qingzhu, he was still very upset. He stared at the swordsmen passing by and chatting with each other. Unfortunately, those swordsmen didn't care about the children's angry eyes at all. It's just a glance.

"Okay, Ellis, don't pay attention to them." Li Wenjin had no choice but to go over to Ellis, who was so angry that he couldn't calm down, and dragged Ellis forward, so as not to cause any incidents before the start of the game.

Although Zhujianmen was down and out, it was also one of the four major sects of Jiandao. They had an exclusive front seat. Qingzhu led Li Wenjin and the others to the left side of the stands, the closest to the competition field, and sat down.

"Boss, please sit here! I'm going to talk to my father." Qing Zhu arranged a seat for the seven people and came to Li Wenjin and said.

"Go!..." Li Wenjin nodded.

After Qingzhu left, Li Wenjin carefully observed the entire playing field, and found that the rocky ground of the entire playing field was full of sword marks left by swordsmen, some even went one meter deep underground, and the whole was bigger than a football field. There is not even one square meter in the double battle field, it is a blank place without sword marks.

Li Wenjin felt that this is the so-called imprint of history! The residents of Sword Island have fought for the position of the island owner here for hundreds of thousands of years. Those sword marks are proof that they have fought here. Even if they are dead, this competition venue also records their information.

Irene and Monkji, the two of them looked at the field full of scars, and couldn't help but close their eyes. They paid deep respects to the field and paid homage to those swordsmen who had fought here.

As for Li Wenjin and the other five, they didn't have much admiration for kendo, they just sighed with emotion, the ancient history of the competition venue, and began to observe that there were more and more swordsmen around.
