Chapter 138 The Sword Testing Tournament Officially Begins
Xu Si looked at the strange man who swam over directly in surprise; there seemed to be some kind of protective shield around him.
The shield light completely blocked the water, preventing it from seeping into his clothes.
"Chu Lan, look at that person. Isn't it convenient that the shield light can isolate the water?"
“It’s quite convenient,” Zhang Chulan nodded in agreement.
"Given the physical abilities of an extraordinary person, shouldn't he be able to carry someone on his shoulders?"
"It should be fine, right? We don't know him, and we can't expect him to carry Bao'er over there, can we?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Xu Si, as if he understood what Xu Si meant.
Xu Si could tell from Zhang Chulan's reaction that he had already understood.
"Chu Lan, look, you're the only one among us who knows the protective shield light. Baby's competition is about to start, so the task of carrying Baby over is entrusted to you."
Soon the audience saw a swimming champion swimming rapidly forward in the water, with golden light emanating from him, while a girl on his back was grabbing his hair and stepping on his shoulder.
The girl pointed forward with her other finger and shouted excitedly.
"This is so much fun! Wuhu! Charge forward!"
"Don't move, Bao'er! I'm losing my balance!"
……
As time passed, most of the contestants used their own methods to reach the floating ice platform in the center of Tianchi Lake.
With the exception of a few, most of the participants ultimately chose to wade across.
The icy cold pool water posed no particular threat to this group of supernatural beings.
As all the viewers in the live stream eagerly awaited, midnight finally arrived!
At this point, almost all the contestants who were preparing to participate in the sword-testing tournament had already logged onto the floating ice platform, and it didn't make much difference whether the few remaining oddballs came or not.
Even if they come in later, they won't be able to compete with the people present.
Qin Le looked around at everyone present through his Heavenly Eye and saw many people he had met before. Many forces had sent people to see him.
Feng Baobao from Nadutong, Fu Rong from Biyou Village, Shi Chuanjian from the Yulong Society, and Lin Qin.
Besides sword-wielding sects like Liuyun Sword, sects such as Tang Clan, Wudang, and Longhu Mountain also sent disciples skilled in swordsmanship.
Many skilled swordsmen from the West also traveled a long way to come, and even Nathan Island sent Mochizuki Satoru.
"All participants, please move to the center. Accompanying persons, please remain where you are."
Qin Le counted the number of remaining contestants, and a total of 27 contestants eventually arrived at the ice floe platform.
As the broadcast ended, a halo with a diameter of about one hundred meters rose in the very center of the platform.
"The match will take place within the circle of light; the player who voluntarily concedes, suffers a fatal injury, or leaves the circle of light loses."
["The duel will begin in the order you arrived at the platform. The next contestant whose name is called, please come forward."]
Everyone had a general idea of their arrival order. The people who arrived earlier didn't care, but the people who arrived later looked rather unhappy.
What if all seven rewards have already been claimed by the time it's his turn?
However, they didn't dare to provoke Qin Le behind the scenes. The magical artifact that suddenly appeared on Changbai Mountain had already shown them how powerful the organizers of this competition were.
Who would believe he doesn't have any offensive magical artifacts?
"Wang Dana, contestant from the Five Tigers Broken Blade Sect, please step forward."
As Qin Le announced, a middle-aged man who looked rather well-off walked into the circle of light with a hearty laugh, waving to the sky as he went.
Wang Dana was among the first group of competitors to go up the mountain with the tourists. After Qin Le announced the competition location, he was also the first person to enter the floating ice platform.
Upon hearing that the name of the sect was included in the announcement, the expressions of the few Hieiyama ninjas hidden among the contestants changed.
They were unsure whether their background from Bihe Mountain would be revealed, and they were already starting to regret their decision to participate in the sword-testing tournament.
Wang Dana curiously searched for his opponent. Suddenly, a bead floated out from the center of the arena, a flash of light came out of the bead, and a human-shaped object emerged from it.
Ishikawa Ken of the Fish Dragon Society stared intently at the center of the arena. Everyone in the Fish Dragon Society wanted to know who was holding Hirumaru.
Just as they were wondering if the nameless guest had found a demon like Eita Nikaido, the chill in the air dissipated, revealing a young man holding a long sword.
The moment they saw him, countries all over the world began frantically searching for the man's information. They had been searching for the nameless man for a long time, but they couldn't find any information about him.
Now we've finally seen the first person connected to the Nameless Guest. If we can find out his information, we might be able to follow the clues and discover the Nameless Guest's existence.
Gao Lian asked his daughter, Gao Erzhuang, over the phone.
"Have you found Erzhuang? Is this man listed in the database?"
At this moment, Gao Erzhuang was using his abilities to quickly compare all the available databases, but he found absolutely no clues.
"We can't find the father; this man isn't in any records?"
"That's strange, could he have sprung from a rock?"
Gao Lian's guess was correct. The man holding Hiruma in front of everyone was a specially made doll that Qin Le made for Hiruma. His appearance was based on Hiruma's own. He was not a person in the world, so it would be strange if anyone in the world could find out.
In appearance, Hirumaru is no different from a normal person. He even has blood in his body. Qin Le sculpted him exactly according to human proportions.
Qin Le originally wanted to try to create a subordinate, and if he succeeded, he could enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by followers.
After Qin Le finished making the doll, he discovered that Hirumaru was a bit too mentally challenged. He couldn't communicate with him like a normal person, and he wasn't as intelligent as the dolls he had made before.
Hirumaru is now merely a remnant soul formed from an obsession. His only obsession is to duel with all the swordsmen in the world. Only when he is involved with swordsmen can Hirumaru regain some rationality.
At other times, he was like an idiot, unable to understand human speech at all. No wonder the ninjas of Mount Hiei trained a demon to control Hiruma, since Hiruma's own soul was not enough to do so.
It's too difficult to bring a dead person back to life with only a soul.
After Qin Le told Hiruma about the sword-testing tournament, he became too lazy to put any more effort into it.
Hiruma, who had been in a daze in the light, suddenly brightened up when he saw the person opposite him pull out a knife from behind.
Wang Dana, who was about to introduce himself to Hirumaru, looked up and saw Hirumaru charging towards him with a knife in hand.
