Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 37: All A's
August 31, morning.
Outside the Testing Center, Edo-ku, Tokyo.
Qi Ji and the Shangquan siblings got out of the special car arranged for them by Shangquan Zhengxin.
As soon as I got off the car, countless flash lights lit up .
Qi Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a large group of reporters.
Sure enough, after successfully challenging the Ittoryu schools of Beichen and Ono, and especially after defeating the ninth-dan master Ono Tadayoshi, Qi Ji's challenge to Sakura has completely attracted the attention of all Sakura.
More than a dozen microphones were handed to Qi Ji.
However, it must be said that, as the saying goes, one should pay attention to small details but not big principles, the etiquette of the Sakura Country when it comes to journalists is slightly more civilized than that of the Great Xia.
There was no way he could force these big, black, thick things into Qi Ji's mouth.
Then, one of the reporters asked questions in Sakura language first and said a long string of words.
Dirty laughter, I don't understand at all.
Qi Ji turned his head and looked at Saeko Kamiizumi beside him.
Ueizumi Saeko immediately translated: "He is asking you, how long are you going to continue your challenge journey?"
Qi Ji smiled slightly and said, "Of course, until all the famous schools in Sakura Country are defeated."
After hearing Ueizumi Saeko's translation of Qi Ji's remarks, the reporters couldn't help but feel angry and a little excited at the same time.
Although as a Sakura fan, I have to express my anger, but such a big event will attract real traffic!
Where there is traffic there is money!
Immediately, another reporter asked the next question at a very fast speed.
Ueizumi Yiren: "He asked you, there are already several ancient sword-fighting sect masters who have issued a declaration of conquest to you, asking you to challenge them, what do you think about this?"
Qi Ji's eyes lit up.
To be honest, he had long felt that it was too troublesome to go to the door to challenge every day. Now that the other party had sent a notice first, it would be much simpler.
He did not answer immediately, but turned to follow Izumi Ito and asked, "How much is the daily rental for the largest gymnasium in Tokyo?"
Shangquan Yiren was stunned, scratched his head and said: "I really don't know about this..."
Saeko Ueizumi's eyes lit up and she asked quickly, "Qi Ji-jun, do you want to find a place to fight all the styles at once?"
The moment she guessed what Qi Ji was thinking, her heart began to beat violently.
This man's tolerance is countless times more amazing than I imagined!
Qi Ji nodded slightly, turned around and smiled brightly at the media.
He grabbed one of the microphones and held it in front of him, saying loudly: "Since many masters of the schools have made such requests, I have just made a decision..."
"I will make an announcement on Facebook tonight. In the near future, I will select one of the largest gymnasiums in Tokyo and wait there for a day. During this day, you are welcome to come and fight me. As for the specific time, please wait for my announcement. That's all."
Saeko Kamiizumi's face flushed red as she quickly and accurately translated all of Qi Ji's words.
boom!
All the reporters and onlookers couldn't help but make a noise after they understood Qi Ji's meaning.
This bastard Qi Ji has truly challenged all the kendo schools in Sakura!
If Qi Ji had said this before challenging the two well-known Ittoryu schools, Beichen and Ono-pa, the Sakura people and the Sakura kendo circle would only regard him as a clown and would never give him any response.
But now he has successfully kicked out the opponent twice in a row and stepped on Beichen and Onopai.
Then, when he made this statement challenging all Sakura kendo schools, all Sakura people had to pay attention.
If any school dares not to respond to the challenge at this time, it will surely be despised by all Sakura people.
They could only agree.
Not only was there an uproar at the scene, but among the huge crowd of onlookers, there were many Daxia and Sakura people who were broadcasting live, and countless barrages of comments instantly rolled out in each live broadcast room.
[Fuck! Brothers, Qi Shen has done something big again! ]
[Fuck, you don't need to remind me, I can understand Daxia dialect! ]
[I can’t stand it, Qi Shen, my God, what you did is so damn cool, I wouldn’t even dare to dream about this! ]
[No matter whether Qi Shen wins or loses in the end, I will be his fan forever. ]
[The one above, stay calm, if the Sword Saint doesn't show up, Qi Shen will win! ]
[I guess the Sword Saint of Sakura will not show up. Didn’t you see that Kamiizumi Yiren is standing next to Qi Ji? This guy is the grandson of the Sword Saint Kamiizumi #狗头]
[Fuck, is what the brother in front said true? Is that gray-haired boy the grandson of the Sword Saint Shangquan? Is he a younger brother of Qi Shen? ]
[It is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, go search for the champion of this year's Newcomer Kendo Contest in Sakura Country. It is this guy, and his identity is the 'Grandson of the Sword Saint'! ]
[This is so funny, I’ll go search it right away! ]
Amidst the countless noises, Qi Ji looked up at a group of swordsmen wearing light green feather coats not far away. At this moment, these natural rational swordsmen were also looking at Qi Ji in shock, expressing disbelief at his previous remarks.
He smiled slightly and said loudly: "Everyone in the Test Hall, today's challenge has been temporarily cancelled due to my new decision. Please pay attention to my announcement tonight. At that time, you are also welcome to send your strongest to compete. Of course, if you are afraid, you don't have to come!"
After saying that, he ignored the reporters present, said hello to his fellow Daxia folks, and turned back to the car.
Soon, the car started.
The people left there looked at each other, and then all became excited.
Reporters from all media outlets immediately called back their people and prepared to rush to publish the news and get the first bite of traffic.
…
In the car, Qi Ji didn't plan to ask Quan Yiren for help. He directly dialed Chun Gufeng's number, and the other party picked up the phone quickly.
"Qi Jijun, you're making a bigger fuss now." Chun Gufeng's voice sounded on the other end of the phone with a charming tone but a dull expression.
Obviously, the fact that she said this proved that she already knew what Qi Ji had done just now.
Qi Ji smiled and said, "Since you know this, please help me contact a famous gymnasium in Tokyo. I will pay for it myself."
Chun Gu Feng said in a calm voice, "I have just arranged for someone to make the arrangements. The world's most famous giant stadium in Tokyo, 'Bunkyo Dome', will be available for rent on Sunday, September 3. Apart from this day, there will be no available time for the major stadiums to coordinate in the next month. Do you want to rent it, Qi Jijun?"
"How much does it cost?" Qi Ji asked.
"The daily rent is 20 million yen, which is 1 million Great Xia coins..."
Before Chun Gufeng could finish his words, Qi Ji interrupted him hastily.
"Book it immediately." Qi Ji made the decision immediately after hearing it.
It's only one million, not even one-third of the price of my sacred clothes. What's there to hesitate about?
"No need. Qi Jijun is a swordsman of Shangquan Technology. If you are asked to pay such a small amount of 20 million yen, it would make our president seem insincere." Chun Gufeng said calmly. Then she seemed to say something about cherry blossoms to the person next to her. Then the microphone came again: "It has been arranged. On September 3, Bunkyo Dome, Qi Jijun can issue an announcement to continue your "Sweeping Sakura Plan."
"Oh, right." She added, "I guess Qi Jijun wouldn't think of many minor details, such as setting up the competition stage, bringing in equipment, etc. I will help Qi Jijun arrange them all."
Qi Ji is not the kind of person who is shy. Since someone is willing to spend money and work hard for him, there is nothing to be entangled about.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Ji looked at the Shangquan siblings. At this moment, they were looking at him eagerly, with a look of thirst for knowledge.
He smiled and said, "It's confirmed. September 3, Bunkyo Dome."
Ueizumi Yiren immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "Qi Ji-kun is really going to challenge the entire Sakura Kendo world at the Bunkyo Dome ?"
The same went for Saeko Kamiizumi, her face flushed with excitement, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Qi Ji became strange.
Qi Ji waved his hand, took out his mobile phone, and posted the information on Facebook and Da Xia’s blog at the same time.
[Since the masters of multiple schools in Sakura Country have simultaneously invited me to challenge them, in order to avoid trouble, the following decision has been made:]
[On September 3, 2032, at the Bunkyo Dome in Tokyo, I will be waiting for all the masters of the Ryuu and even all the masters of Sakura Kendo.]
[No rules, real swords or fake swords are all fine, as long as it is within common sense, I accept any form of duel. ]
[I hope everyone in the Sakura Kendo world will not disappoint me! ]
After quickly sending out the announcement, he no longer paid attention to Qi Ji, smiled and turned off his phone, then leaned back in the chair with his hands behind his head.
"This is really a pillow for someone to send you when you are sleepy!"
…
Ever since Qi Ji officially issued the challenge announcement.
The Sakura Kendo circle was collectively shaken, and almost all the well-known schools expressed their desire to challenge Qi Ji.
Under Chun Gufeng's arrangement, the relevant resources of Shangquan Technology were mobilized, and they began to fully prepare for this unprecedented "single-player challenge" on behalf of Qi Ji.
Not to mention in Daxia, Qi Ji's name has definitely been among the top three hot searches in recent days, and countless news related to him have been released.
Many fans immediately applied for passports to travel to Sakura, preparing to go to Bunkyo Dome on September 3 to support Qi Ji live.
In the midst of all this commotion.
Qi Ji's second fierce sword fight came quietly.
September 1st, evening.
The helicopter slowly landed somewhere in the high seas.
Qi Ji wore a white smiling mask and transformed into Bai Xiuluo again and jumped off the helicopter.
This time, the deck of the giant cargo ship, which had changed its location on the high seas, was still crowded and noisy.
"Today, your opponent is a Nordic swordsman codenamed 'Silver'. He uses a sword style from the British country called 'Silver Style'. It is a small style that uses a 'cage sword' similar to a saber, but with a straight blade. It is good at fighting in the upper stance."
Beside him, Chun Gu Feng was holding a tablet computer and clearly introducing Qi Ji tonight's opponent in the Death Race.
"Silver's swordsmanship is superb, and it is estimated that he has reached the ninth level of the unity of mind, skill and body. Please deal with him seriously."
Qi Ji nodded and asked calmly, "How is this 'Silver's' performance? How many people did he kill?"
