"Stella, what's going on? My brother hasn't even arrived for such an important game yet."

On the day of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, after the Group A competition had already begun, Kurogane Shuzuku saw that Stella had not shown up yet and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. This was Kurogane Ikki's first competition, but her girlfriend was not there. Even without mentioning this, the competition after Ikki was Stella's, and as a contestant she had not shown up yet, which was a bit unreasonable. Theoretically, contestants should arrive within two days before the start of the competition.

"She should have her own things to do, but I believe she will come." Kurogane Ikki was full of confidence in Stella, although he couldn't contact Stella. After Xijing Ningyin took Stella away, Ikki cut off contact with Stella. This was probably to allow Stella to concentrate on her training. However, when the competition officially started, she didn't show up yet. Maybe something went wrong over there. One can only hope that she won't miss the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival because of this.

"Don't worry, Shizuku. I think she will definitely not miss the game. But Ikki, you should go to the preparation room. It will be your turn soon." Arisuin Nagi spoke to comfort Shizuku Kurogane, and then reminded Ikki that his game was coming.

There are a total of 32 contestants participating in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival this time, and the competition lasts for three days, so there are a lot of matches on the first day. After all, the top eight must be selected on the first day, and then the second day will be the day for the top eight to decide the finalists, and the last day will be the battle for the championship and runner-up.

The schedule is very tight. For ordinary magic knights, this is nothing, but for Ikki it is not friendly because his One Sword Shura can only be used once a day.

"Okay, I'll go over first." Ikki said and walked towards the preparation room.

"That's great, brother doesn't look so nervous anymore." Looking at Ikki Kurogane's departing back, Shizuku Kurogane couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the opponent was the champion of last year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, and Shizuku Kurogane was afraid that her brother would be nervous.

"Don't worry, Ikki knows what to do. Let's find a place." Then Arisuin Nagi and Kurogane Shushizuku prepared to find a suitable place to watch the match between Ikki and Moroboshi Yudai.

"We meet again." By coincidence, the two of them were near Shen Fei. Next to him was a woman in white, who was none other than the pharmacist Wu Zi from Lianzhen Academy. The group had seen her in Mr. Zhu Xingxiong's restaurant yesterday.

After the opening banquet of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, there was still one day of free time, which was for everyone to adjust their state, so the group went for a walk on the street and met Moroboshi Yudai, a local. After seeing Kurogane Ikki, he warmly invited them to the restaurant opened by his family, where the group met the student knight Yakushi Kiriko.

"Senior Kiriko." Kurogane Shizuku and Arisuin Nagi were somewhat surprised to meet Yakushi Kiriko and Shen Fei here. In fact, the reason was very simple. After meeting Yakushi Kiriko yesterday, Shen Fei discussed some medical topics with her in view of her medical level. Yakushi Kiriko was a water mage. Although she was still a student, she was already a famous doctor in Japan and was in charge of a hospital.

"What a coincidence! It seems destiny has brought us together." Pharmacist Wu Zi said with a smile.

"The fate of being tied to a doctor is enough to make one's hair stand on end." Kurogane Jushizuku also responded with a smile, but her smile looked a little forced.

"I just passed by the Uncrowned Sword King. Did anything happen to him?" Yakushi Kiriko turned the topic to Kurogane Ikki.

"What do you mean?" Yakushi Kiriko's words immediately made Kurogane Jushizuku nervous, after all, it was about her brother.

"He looks very relaxed. He was not like this when I saw him yesterday," said Pharmacist Wu Zi.

"Is there any problem with this?" Kurogane Jushizuku asked with a puzzled look on her face. Relaxing before the game shouldn't be a problem.

"He deliberately forced his body to be in a state of excessive relaxation. His state of excitement yesterday was the most appropriate, just enough to fight, not like now. He may be hiding some kind of uneasiness in his heart, so I asked him what happened." Pharmacist Wu Zi expressed her guess.

There is nothing wrong with relaxing during the game, but if you force yourself to relax, then you will be nervous. This is very different from Ikki Kurogane's state yesterday. The reason why Ikki was like this was because last night, Ouma Kurogane found him and looked like he wanted to kill him. In the end, it was Yudai Moroboshi who rescued him.

Kurogane Ouma said on the surface that he was not a member of the Kurogane family, but in fact he still cared about Kurogane Ikki, otherwise he would not have attacked Ikki at this time. On the surface, he said he wanted to kill him, but in fact he was testing his strength.

"He can't beat Moroboshi Yudai like this." Yakushi Kiriko suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Yakushi Kiriko's words immediately made Kurogane Jushizuku stand up, and Arisuin Nagi on the side immediately pulled her clothes to remind her.

"You don't know what happened to Yudai Moroboshi in the past?" Yakushi Kiriko said as he told Yudai Moroboshi's past.

Although Yudai Moroboshi was the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival last year, his past almost prevented him from becoming a magic knight. It turned out that he had been involved in a serious accident when he was in elementary school, in which he lost both legs.

Although the regeneration capsule has powerful healing functions, it cannot regenerate severed limbs. Of course, strictly speaking, it is not that it is impossible to regenerate severed limbs, but that there are not enough cells to generate a pair of legs. After all, although he had already made a name for himself at that time, he was only famous in elementary school and did not store his own cells in the cell bank.

In this regard, the regeneration capsule is not nanotechnology. At that time, everyone thought that Yudai Moroboshi would just be indistinguishable from the crowd. However, because his sister blamed herself for the accident and lost her voice, Yudai Moroboshi decided to stand up for his sister.

So at that time, Yudai Moroboshi found the newly famous Yakushi Kiriko, and used Yakushi Kiriko's magic, that is, the ability of spiritual equipment to heal himself. At that time, Yakushi Kiriko used other cells in the body to restore his lost legs. Although this method can regenerate severed limbs, things are not that simple.

Because human legs take up almost half of the body, if you want to transfer cells from other parts to repair the legs, then other parts will lack a large number of cells. After Yakushi Kiriko completed the regeneration of severed limbs, Moroboshi Yudai's body encountered other problems.

First, the muscle mass of the whole body decreases and is almost unable to sustain life. Also, in order to produce thigh bones, cells can only be transferred from other bones in the body, leading to osteoporosis throughout the body.

In this situation, Moroboshi Yudai still needs to exercise every day, because only in this way can he restore his body's muscles and bones. This kind of exercise is very painful. In the end, Yakushi Kiriko was the first one who couldn't bear it before Moroboshi Yudai, but Moroboshi Yudai continued to persist. Under Yakushi Kiriko's care, he finally recovered completely and became the Seven-Star Sword King.

In some ways, when he was a child, Moroboshi Yu was similar to Ikki in that they both spent some time in the regeneration bag. As for Ikki, after he researched and created Ittoshura, he could not leave the regeneration bag.

"But even so, Moroboshi Yudai still hasn't fulfilled his responsibility, which is to make his sister speak, so he will continue to risk his life until his sister speaks." Yakushi Kiriko finally gave her conclusion.

"These two guys are really a bit alike. I wonder if Ikki Kurogane is going to beat him this time." After listening to Yakushi Kiriko's narration, Shen Fei understood that Moroboshi Yudai was definitely a strong rival of Ikki, and considering his spiritual equipment ability, Ikki's disadvantage was increased by 10%.

The ability of Yudai Moroboshi's spiritual equipment is to devour magic power. It can be said that this is a very powerful ability, because the magic knight's spiritual equipment can be said to be made of magic power, which is just what he can restrain.

"Just now in the third match of the first round of Zone C, Jounosaki Byakuya showed his strength by beautifully kicking his opponent out of the ring and knocking him out with ten seconds left. He won the match successfully. He really deserves to be the runner-up last year."

"Yes, but it's not very exciting that a dignified magic knight lost in a countout outside the arena. Although this rule is to protect the safety of the players, I still hope that they can fight it out in the battle circle."

"The following is the fourth match of the first round in Zone C. The first to emerge from the red gate is the winner of the previous tournament! The third-year student of Muku Academy, Moroboshi Yudai. His opponent is the player Kurogane Ikki, who is known as the Landing Knight and the Uncrowned Sword King, who appeared from the blue gate. These two can be said to be qualified to compete for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival championship."

At the beginning of the match between Ikki Kurogane and Yudai Moroboshi, the commentators introduced the life stories of the two student knights as usual. The introduction of Yudai Moroboshi included the part narrated by Kiriko Yakushi just now. Of course, they did not belittle Ikki Kurogane. Although he was introduced as an F-class knight, the commentators here were all official magic knights. For them, the fact that Ikki could stand on this competition field was enough to show his strength. They would not mock Ikki's magic power like the other students did.

"The match has begun. The first to attack is Kurogane Ikki, with a quick attack."

After the match was officially announced to start, Ikki immediately rushed towards Yudai Moroboshi wielding the Yin Tie. Of course, he did not use Itto Shura or Itto Rakshasa at the beginning. After all, Yudai Moroboshi was the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival last year. It was impossible for him to use Itto Rakshasa to win quickly like he did against Toudou Touka.

Seeing Ikki launch the attack first, Moroboshi Yudai immediately exuded a powerful momentum and swung out the spear Tiger Bite in his hand.

"Interesting, he has a kind of mighty aura. If he were in the world of pirates, he should be able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki." Zhu Xing's majestic aura made Shen Fei, who was watching the battle, nod thoughtfully. He was worthy of being someone who had walked out of that kind of predicament.

Facing the spear of Moroboshi Yudai, Ikki immediately stopped and retreated, avoiding the attack, and at the same time prepared to slash at Moroboshi Yudai from another direction, but at this moment, he saw a flash of cold light, and Moroboshi Yudai's spear was retracted in an instant and stabbed out again, which forced Ikki to retreat quickly. Originally, he could use Yin Tie to parry, but who made Moroboshi Yudai's spiritual equipment ability to devour magic power, which made Ikki a little cautious, fearing that his Yin Tie would be damaged.

The spiritual armor of the Swordsman is the embodiment of his own soul, or more precisely, the projection of the soul. Once it is damaged, although it will not damage the soul because it is a problem of soul projection, it will inevitably damage the mental strength.

"It appears. The three stars of the Naniwa Star."

When Ikki retreated, the commentator on the side immediately shouted excitedly. Although Ikki retreated very timely, there were still two bullet holes on his body, one of which was already bleeding. Ikki's fighting style was originally based on speed and skill, but unfortunately, Moroboshi Yudai was also very good at these. He was able to win the championship of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival not only by relying on the ability of the spiritual suit, but also his well-honed spear skills. It can be said that this duel between the two was a duel between spear and swordsmanship.

"Brother." Seeing her brother injured, Kurogane Shizuku immediately became worried, and Arisuin Nagi on the side immediately comforted her.

"This is just the beginning. I believe Ikki will find a way to deal with it."

The subsequent battle was just as Arisuin Nagi said. Apart from being attacked by the Three Stars in the beginning, Ikki was never injured again. However, he also had no way to get close to Moroboshi Yudai. After all, the spear was a long-handled weapon, much longer than the Yin Tetsu.

After that, Ikki made many attempts, but failed to get close to Yudai Moroboshi. Likewise, Yudai Moroboshi's attacks did not cause any harm to Ikki. The two were in a stalemate, and it depended on who would make the first mistake.

puff.

As Yudai Moroboshi stabbed Ikki's thigh with a gun, the situation seemed to change. It was Yudai Moroboshi who finally broke the stalemate. It seemed that Ikki could not see the moves he launched.

"Ittoryu Ra." After being stabbed by the third bullet, Ikki felt that he could not continue to be so passive. Although his injuries were not serious due to his quick reaction, if he continued, he would lose the initiative and it would be difficult for him to turn over. So he immediately used Ittoryu Ra, and then relying on the increased speed, Ikki finally injured Moroboshi Yudai.

"Is this the One-Sword Shura?" Seeing Ikki using the One-Sword Shura, Moroboshi Yudai's face became solemn. Just like Ikki had watched his game video in advance, he had also watched Ikki's and knew that the One-Sword Shura could only last for one minute, but the question was whether he could last for one minute.

"This is an afterimage." Moroboshi Yudai looked at the figure of Ikki Kurotsuchi, whom he had stabbed, slowly dissipating, and immediately realized that something was wrong. However, it was too late. Ikki pierced his left shoulder with a knife from behind. This was the fourth secret sword, Mirage Wolf. Ikki immediately used the secret sword launched by Shura with a knife, and even Moroboshi Yudai had no time to react.

Afterwards, Yudai Moroboshi gritted his teeth and persisted under the various secret swords of Ikki's One Sword Shura. Although One Sword Shura only lasted for one minute, for Yudai Moroboshi, it was an extremely long minute. His entire body was almost covered in blood. This was the result of him defending his vital points and preventing Ikki from hitting him.
