For any martial arts dojo, the annual National Martial Arts Alliance Tournament was an extremely important event. It was also a grand event that they had to participate in.
This was because the ranking obtained in the Wu Meng Tournament determined the level and reputation of a martial arts dojo to a large extent.
Last year's National Martial Arts Alliance Tournament was interrupted due to special reasons and was held in late February this year. There were major changes to the rules and awards, making it even more eye-catching.
Of course, Tenhiro Budokan could not miss this grand martial arts event. He had already submitted the participant list, which included three candidates who would directly participate in the imperial capital's finals.
In addition, there were 57 students who had applied for the Hangzhou division's tournament through the martial arts dojo. They would start fighting from the preliminary round and compete with thousands of opponents for precious spots to advance.
Today was the first day of the preliminary round at the Hangzhou division. Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao were both ranked.
"You have been too busy recently …"
Shang Yulin said, "The two of them don't dare to disturb you. Are you free to come and watch the tournament today?"
Shang Yulin did not have any intention of complaining. After all, Zuo Yi's position was far more important than that of a martial arts dojo's chief instructor. It was impossible for him to spend all his time and energy on imparting his skills.
However, she still hoped that Zuo Yi could personally come and cheer for her juniors.
With or without Zuo Yi present, their morale would definitely be different!
"Alright then …"
Zuo Yi said, "I'll bring Bao 'er along. Do we need tickets?"
"That's great."
Shang Yulin smiled and said, "I have tickets. Come directly to the Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field. I'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Alright."
After ending the call with Shang Yulin, Zuo Yi said to the little girl, "Darling, Daddy will bring you to watch the tournament, okay? Your Sister Jiaojiao and Brother Xiaoqiang are competing. "
"Okay, okay!"
Bao'er immediately ran over and asked with bright eyes, "Big sister and brother, what competition are you participating in?"
Speaking of which, the little girl hadn't seen Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao for a long time because everyone had to go to school.
Zuo Yi patted her head. "The martial arts competition is the swordsmanship that you usually practice."
Woof woof!
Teck scooted over, raising its head and wagging its tail: Woof wants to go too!
Zuo Yi glanced at it. "Don't even think about it. I can't take you there."
Pets were not allowed in the martial arts competition hall.
Woo ~
Teck lowered his head, looking sad.
The Bao'er couldn't bear it. She touched its head and comforted it, "Atay, don't be sad. Dad and I will come back after watching your sister and brother's competition. Yes, we will bring you delicious food."
Foodie Tai immediately raised its head again and flattered with a "hahaha": Bao'er is the best to Woof!
After getting rid of this shameless guy, Zuo Yi informed Fang Yonghe and drove the Bao'er to the Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field.
The Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field was the largest martial arts competition hall in Jiangnan Province. Every year, the Wu Meng Martial Arts Competition in Hangzhou would be held here. In addition, Zuo Yi had been to the Xixi Underground Market several times before. It was just below the Martial Arts Practice Field, so he was familiar with the place.
Today, the Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field was particularly lively. Under the blue sky and white clouds, colorful flags fluttered outside the hall. A huge poster for the 2020 National Martial Arts Alliance Competition hung on the wall. There were countless participants wearing martial arts suits of various colors.
In front of the main entrance of the Martial Arts Practice Field, Zuo Yi and the Bao'er met up with Shang Yulin.
"Bao'er!"
As soon as he saw the little girl, Shang Yulin immediately picked her up and kissed her cheek. "Did you miss me?"
The Bao'er smiled. "Yes."
Zuo Yi was curious. "Are you alone?"
"They all went in."
Besides Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao, there were seven other students from the Martial Arts Dojo. Then, Shang Yulin and Zhang Dahai led the team here.
Zhang Dahai and the others had already gone inside to prepare.
"Sun Qiang and Jiaojiao are in the No.5 Dojo …"
Shang Yulin took out two tickets and handed them to Zuo Yi. "The tickets were given by the committee."
"Then let's go."
The Xixi Martial Arts Practice Field had a total of seven arenas and seventy-two competition arenas. It could accommodate more than forty thousand spectators.
Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao signed up for the swordsmanship competition. This year's Martial League Grand Tournament was segregated according to gender, age, and events. There were male and female combat and swordsmanship events, which were separated into the youth group for fourteen to nineteen years old, the youth group for twenty to twenty-nine years old, and the adult group for thirty and above. There were a total of twelve events.
The two of them belonged to the youth swordsmanship group.
After passing through the security check, the three of them arrived at the No.5 Dojo.
At this moment, the Dojo was already filled with people. The thousands of spectator seats were filled to the brim. The cheers were deafening and there were even people beating gongs and drums, waving banners and shouting slogans such as "Nanyue Will Win" and "Dajiang Is Number One".
The Martial Arts Union Competition's participation requirements were very relaxed. As long as one had an amateur or professional rank certification, or had registered a martial arts dojo, they could sign up for the competition.
Sun Qiang and Wang Jiaojiao did not have any rank certification. They used the Tenhiro Budokan's normal application quota. Most of the people who came to participate in the preliminaries came from various martial arts dojos, so it was inevitable that there would be a scene of "demons dancing".
Being in the midst of it made one's blood boil!
This was the first time the Bao'er had seen such a lively scene. She looked around curiously and pulled Shang Yulin to ask, "Sister Yulin, when is Sister Jiaojiao's match?"
Shang Yulin explained, "Your Sister Jiaojiao is in the ninth match, while Brother Xiaoqiang is in the seventeenth match."
The little girl blinked her eyes and asked Zuo Yi, "Daddy, will Sister Jiaojiao win?"
Zuo Yi and Shang Yulin laughed at the same time.
Zuo Yi scratched her little nose and said, "Daddy is not a fortune teller. How can I predict the outcome?"
Hmph, bad daddy!
The Bao'er wrinkled her nose and said confidently, "I believe that Sister Jiaojiao will definitely win!"
Zuo Yi asked with a smile, "Why?"
The Bao'er answered matter-of-factly, "Because Sister Jiaojiao learned from you."
Daddy is the best, so Sister Jiaojiao must be very good as well. How can she lose to others?
(⊙ o ⊙) …
Zuo Yi blushed with shame. If he had known that the little girl was so confident in him, he would have taught Wang Jiaojiao more. Otherwise, if he lost this match, wouldn't she be disappointed?
To be honest, Zuo Yi was not very confident. After all, Wang Jiaojiao had only learned martial arts from him for half a year. She mainly focused on the basics and had very little actual combat experience. If she encountered a tough opponent, she would most likely lose.
However, Wang Jiaojiao's talent was not bad. She had already learned the basics of the Knight's Body Refining Technique and the Giant Dragon Breathing Technique. She also had a good grasp of basic swordsmanship. It was not completely impossible for her to win.
He hoped that she would work harder!
