The reason why the Bloodwine Ritual used a group battle before a duel was probably to weaken the food chain, which was the influence of the faction's hierarchy. In such a format, even if one was stronger and had more information, it was still possible for them to lose. It was also possible for relatively weaker participants to obtain the final victory.
"You need to pay special attention to Shigure Tendo of the Tendo Family. He's the younger brother of the genius Yin Yang Master from the Tendo Family that I told you about before. He challenged my older sister to a duel and was burned to ashes. "Hana warned Seiji.
"Although Shigure Tendo has been called 'imbecile,' there's some uncertain information that indicates that he received the martial arts inheritance of the Yagyuu Family, one of the three main samurai families. Not only that, he received the inheritance from the strongest member of the Yagyuu Family, Yagyuu Ryūgang!"
When mentioning the famous samurai Yagyuu, even ordinary people would think of the term "Sword Saint."
It was difficult to say who the strongest Sword Saint was. However, it was quite clear which family had the most Sword Saints. The Yagyuu Family! Or, the Yagyuu School.
It was quite astonishing that a Yin Yang Master family member received the martial arts inheritance of a top-level samurai family!
Samurai families, especially famous samurai families, had complex feelings about Yin Yang Masters. It was more than "estranged".
Modern Yin Yang Masters were so powerful that the samurai families had no choice but to put aside their differences and work together for mutual benefits, even through marriage. And, the inheritance of martial arts was even more important to the samurai families than marriage.
At any rate, it was quite difficult for a Yin Yang Master disciple to receive the Yagyuu Family's inheritance. It would definitely be much more difficult than a samurai's disciple receiving the same inheritance. Even if this Yin Yang Master disciple was from the Tendo Family, one of the seven major families … or perhaps it was precisely because he was from one of the seven major families that it was more difficult.
However, the "imbecile" Shigure Tendo received the inheritance. Not only that, he was the personal disciple of the strongest member of the Yagyuu Family!
This information was inconceivable. Was that why Hana said it was "uncertain?"
Hana gave an affirmative answer.
"This information is only a rumor. It's impossible to confirm whether it's true or not. If it's true, it'll cause a huge commotion in the relevant circles. "
"If it's true, then this experience would be like that of a main character in a web novel …" Seiji's cheeks twitched.
"That's right, and you're the antagonist, the evil relative of the enemy who killed your brother. You'd better be careful," the cat-eared hat girl said.
"Although the Yoshiaki and Mitarai Families don't seem to be close to the Yoshiaki and Akira Mitarai Yoshiaki that you killed, it's still possible that they'll seek you out for revenge, so you should be careful as well."
"Only the insiders of the Haruta family know that you've been removed from the list. To outsiders, you're still a member of the Haruta family, so you'll be targeted accordingly. Remember this."
"I will. Thank you for your concern, sister. "Seiji expressed his gratitude.
"Hmph, stop being so disgusting." As usual, Hana expressed her disdain. However, she continued, "Send your and Shika Kagura's combat equipment to Wanhua Summer Night tomorrow. Have her help you make adjustments."
Equipment for battle? Seiji raised his eyebrows. He didn't make such a request, did he?
"Little Shi and I already have equipment …"
"That's just regular equipment. We can use it in normal situations, but we'll have to change it for the battle."
"Hana …"
"Don't look so touched! I'm just helping you out as your ally. It's not a matter of concern! "
The cat-eared hat girl was giving off an aura of disdain.
However, Seiji still felt that she was quite cute and wanted to pat her head. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so.
"Thank you," he said sincerely once again.
"Hmph." Hana averted her gaze.
"Right, speaking of equipment … Last time, I brought Tomohisa to train in the Domain. He's currently in a normal condition without any problems. That's why I intend to bring others to train in the Domain. I'll need to equip them with Spiritual equipment, "Seiji told her.
Before the Bloodwine Ritual tournament, rather than just cultivating, it would be better to train in the Inner World. That way, he could increase his power as well as use it as a warm-up.
Hana agreed to his request.
After confirming that there was nothing else to discuss, she ended the video call.
Seiji then looked at the tournament participants' information.
The first one he looked at was "Haruta Seidou," a true tournament participant from the Haruta Family.
Hana didn't even mention this relative of hers, which meant that he didn't have much to do with the Haruta Family. He was basically no different from a stranger.
However, Seiji still cared about this boy who had the same family name as him.
Apart from that, he also cared about the tournament participants from the Wanhua Family.
His agreement with the Wanhua Aoran Family was that after he won, he would give the prize to the Wanhua Family … no, sell it to the Wanhua Family. This was the equivalent of fighting for the Wanhua Family's benefits.
However, the Wanhua Family's tournament participants would definitely want to win for themselves and directly give the prize to their family.
The Wanhua Family and the Wanhua Family had some similarities, as well as fundamental differences. At most, they would only be able to establish a limited alliance … Should he contact them through Summer Night?
He decided to think about it after reading the information.
…
On Monday, the weather was sunny.
Seiji and the others went to school as usual.
When he arrived at school, many students stared at him. He felt that their gazes were different from before. However, they didn't seem to reject him, nor did they have any ill intent or hostility.
When he walked into Year 1 Class 5's classroom and saw his classmates, he greeted them normally and received a normal response.
After all his classmates arrived in class, Seiji walked up to the lectern and thanked his classmates for their support.
"No need to be so polite. We're all classmates after all." Koji responded on behalf of his entire class.
Afterwards, Seiji also went to find Daiki Takasugi and the other students who had spoken up for him through the broadcast to express his gratitude.
Although he also considered saying a few words to all the students at school through the broadcast, that would be too unnecessary. He decided to just let the tennis tournament incident end here.
After school, he went to the student council president's residence and saw the tournament equipment that Hana had sent him.
Seiji and Little Shi each had a Scale Matrix armor. With this as the foundation, Seiji's equipment was especially strengthened for defense. His bracers could be used as shields and could create a powerful defensive barrier. These bracers would probably be quite powerful when used to bash others.
According to Summer Night, this bracer's name was' Heavy Cloud '. Just like the Scale Matrix armor, it was an advanced equipment created by the Haruta Family.
Meanwhile, Little Shi's equipment focused more on speed and agility. She was equipped with a pair of spiritual boots called 'Dancing Crane', which was also a special product from the Haruta Family.
And, the equipment that was even more advanced than all of the above was the longsword Seiji's, "Wakamatsu"!
Wakamatsu wasn't as famous as the Demon Sword Muramasa. However, as a spiritual weapon, its overall abilities were far superior to the latter. Its Mana attacks were especially powerful.
After testing it out, Seiji felt that this sword felt far better to the touch than the previous one. As expected of a high-level weapon.
Seiji and Little Shi put on their respective equipment sets and went to the practice field to test it out.
Summer Night recorded the results of the two equipment sets' tests, as well as their thoughts.
After the test ended, Seiji returned to his room and changed his equipment before walking out to the living room.
"I'll adjust my equipment as soon as possible," Summer Night said as she poured him a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Seiji picked up his teacup and took a sip of the warm tea. He felt refreshed.
