Due to physical reasons, Arisu Sakayanagi was held by Wu Yi throughout the journey and let her sit on his arms, so it did not have any impact and did not slow down the group's journey.
After passing through a two or three hundred meter long dirt road in the forest and drifting on the sea all night, the people finally arrived at the Colosseum.
Of course, to be precise, it is not just an arena. Although the shape does look very similar from a distance, once you walk in you will find that it is an entire complex of buildings.
Just like the previous Kengan cruise ship, there is not only a huge arena, but also various leisure and entertainment service venues, such as casinos, beaches, various dining and snack streets, etc., not to mention the accommodation conditions comparable to those of a five-star hotel.
To be honest, this place is almost not open to the public, otherwise it would be one of the world's top gold-spending dens.
What's more, the geographical location here is on the high seas, so things that are prohibited in many countries in the world will be allowed here.
However, it is obvious that Katara Metō himself had no such plan.
When they entered the arena, Katahara Retsudo, who had arrived earlier in the hall, was already waiting. Upon seeing everyone arrive, he immediately made arrangements.
"According to the arrangement, this Kengan Fatal Tournament will be completed over five days, with one day of fighting and one day of rest. Today is the first day, so there will be a total of sixteen matches. The schedule is quite tight, so I hope everyone can strictly abide by the arrangement."
five days?
Wu Yi was slightly puzzled.
He clearly remembered that his old man said that it could basically be completed in one day, so why did it take five days now?
Well, this is good though.
Extending the duration of the death match and inserting rest days in between is naturally not a big deal for the fighters who were carried away in the first round.
However, if the fighters are strong enough to advance to the second round, third round or even the finals, they can get more buffer time after the game and recover to a better condition before the next game.
Just as he was thinking this, Katahara Reido in front of him continued speaking.
"We will arrange accommodation for you later. Now, please follow me, representatives of participating companies. We will then draw lots for the schedule."
Lottery...
Wu Yi muttered to himself.
But this is nothing strange. Many competitions will be sorted by lottery before they start, which is equivalent to purely random matching of objects, which can ensure fairness to a considerable extent.
"If we draw lots, Arisu and Haruno will go together..."
"No, I won't go."
Before he could finish his words, a certain white-haired loli rejected Wu Yi's proposal outright and turned to nod to Yukinoshita Haruno on the other side.
"Sorry, I have something to give to Wu Yi. I'll leave the lottery to you, Yukinoshita."
"okay."
Yukinoshita Haruno agreed, and at the same time raised her head to look at Wu Yi, with an unconcealable playful smile in her eyes.
"Then~ I'll try my best to help you shake off a weaker opponent?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm the one doing the action anyway. There's no need to feel any psychological burden. Just let whoever is responsible be the responsible one." Wu Yi shrugged.
"Understood~"
Glancing at the corporate representatives in the hall who were starting to leave in a bustling crowd under the lead of Katahara Retsudo and heading to the lottery location, Yukinoshita Haruno made a gesture that indicated she would be back soon.
"See you later, then."
"Well, see you later."
Wu Yi said.
Not long after, as most of the people present left, the hall, which had finally become lively, suddenly became deserted again.
Wu Yi turned to the white-haired loli who had just said that she had something to give him.
"By the way, Arisu, what are you going to give me? Are you planning on doing some fun warm-up exercises before the game?"
"Go away, go away, it's already this time, and you're still thinking about those things..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but pat Wu's dog on the head with laughter.
"It's serious. I have something to give you. It's in the suitcase. Take the suitcase and come over."
After a while, Wu Yi was led to a bathroom by Sakayanagi Arisu after many twists and turns.
"Well, that's about it for here. Bring the suitcase up and open it."
"Oh……"
At this point Wu Yi still had no idea what the latter was up to, but he still did as he was told.
click -
After a few seconds, a slight unlocking sound was heard, and Wu Yi carefully opened the suitcase bit by bit.
If this was his own suitcase, he wouldn't have to be so careful. There wasn't much stuff in it anyway, and he knew where everything was.
But the problem is that this is Arisu Sakayanagi's suitcase. Girls usually have more clothes, so it would be bad if she opened it rashly and scattered the clothes all over the floor.
However, unexpectedly, when Wu Yi opened the suitcase completely, he found that there were not many things in Sakayanagi Arisu's suitcase, but they were all neatly folded in the suitcase, and in order to avoid being messed up during transportation, they were tied up with the locking straps in the suitcase.
And on top of all the clothes was a set of black men's clothing still sealed in a transparent plastic bag.
"This is it."
Arisu Sakayanagi nodded, indicating that he could open it and take a look.
After getting the permission, Wu Yi immediately followed suit. He opened the seal of the bag, took out the clothes and shook them open.
Wow, he was actually wearing a training suit. On the front, over his chest, there was an engraving of the four small characters "Wu Yi Shang Shi" in gold thread. On the back, there was a huge dark-colored ring with the character "Yi" written in capital letters inside.
It gives me a sense of déjà vu of Black Goku's training suit in Dragon Ball.
Secondly, the dimensions in all aspects are perfectly suited to Wu Yi's body shape. Although it doesn't look like there is any black technology, the material feels quite wear-resistant.
"I actually wanted to get a white outfit, but then I thought you might like black more, so I ended up choosing black fabric."
Arisu Sakayanagi looked at Wu Yi without blinking, and watched her change into her training clothes in front of him before continuing.
"As for why I gave you this suit, I believe you can probably guess the reason. From a personal point of view, I naturally don't want to see you get hurt, but I know you definitely don't want to hear me say, 'Once you encounter a difficult enemy, don't force yourself.' In this case, there is only one way -"
As the petite silver-haired girl spoke, she slowly raised her hands, like an angel blessing her believers.
"May your clothes be stained with the blood of your enemies, and may you be invincible in battle."
Volume 555: Chapter : Tragic Principles and Tragic People
The lottery process took unexpectedly short time. Just when Wu Yi changed her clothes and returned to the hall with Sakayanagi Arisu, Yukinoshita Haruno, who had gone to decide the order of the competition, also came back.
With her back to the group of participating company representatives who had just returned from the lottery, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the training clothes on Wu Yi.
"Yeah, the new clothes look pretty good, but this style, um~ are you preparing to transform into a Super Saiyan?"
"It would be great if I could really transform. Then I would be able to use Kamehameha to attack anyone I meet..."
Wu Yi knew what she was complaining about and decisively took up the topic.
“Compared to this, was the lottery still smooth?”
"Totally-no problem!"
After Yukinoshita Haruno approached, she made a kira expression in a malicious and cute manner, and then smiled as if she was amused by her own behavior.
"Well, it's not like it went smoothly or not. After all, the company chooses which group to be assigned to. If I chose it for you correctly, you should be playing in the fourth game."
“Can I choose this myself?”
Wu Yi found it somewhat magical.
Yukinoshita Haruno just nodded, then took out her cell phone from her pocket, opened the album and flipped to the most recent photo at the top.
It was on a combat screen similar to the little dumb bunker in GTA5, showing a flowchart of the game.
The chart converges from both sides to the middle like branches, and is divided into four competition areas: upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right. Each competition area has eight groups in the first round, and they move one step closer with each promotion until they finally reach the finals.
"When I went there, we drew lots first. Whoever drew the highest number would be the first to decide the starting position of their fighter."
Having said this, Yukinoshita Haruno touched her nose and smiled a little smugly.
"But it was also luck that I managed to shake the highest number, and then I got to choose my position first. However, considering that it might be too hasty to play in the first round, I put you in the fourth round."
"Oh, that's very thoughtful."
Wu Yi rubbed his face against it as he spoke.
When Yukinoshita Haruno took out her cell phone just now, he walked around behind the girl, leaned over and rested his chin on her shoulder, put his hands on his waist, and looked at the contents on the screen almost face to face.
Following Yukinoshita Haruno's instructions, Wu Yi quickly found the location of his name.
And below his name, connected by a solid line, and the one that would be decided by the outcome of the battle was a familiar name - Inaba Ryo.
Isn't this the leader of the Inaba-ryu clan who kills people with his hair?
Wu Yi continued to read, and within a few seconds he found the name of the manager.
No, to be precise, he did not find the name "Rito". He found the corresponding fighter through the company name "SH Freeze", and his name was not Rito, but Ichiro Tanaka.
That golden-haired fool turned out to be called this. His real name is very revealing.
Wu Yi thought about it while looking down, and saw that below the manager's real name, there was a very important name.
【拘取俊�
Fuck, that's fine.
This guy really knows how to pick his opponents...
Realizing that Wu Yi fell silent as he watched, Yukinoshita Haruno hummed in confusion, turned around and looked, only to find someone with a subtle expression on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this chart?"
"No no……"
Wu Yixin said that it was hard to explain if there was a problem, and you would all know it by then anyway.
"Okay, now that the competition schedule has been decided, the first round will probably start soon. Let's go to the competition venue first."
"Ah."
……
"So~big~"
A moment later, as Wu Yi and the others stepped into the arena, Asahina, who was traveling with them, was the first to exclaim in surprise.
Although making loud noises in public would disturb others, she did not lower her volume at all.
After all, this stadium is really too big, and its scale is comparable to that of the World Cup, the world's largest football tournament. Even if a person shouts at the top of his lungs in complete silence, the sound may not be clearly transmitted to the other end of the stadium.
What's more, at this time, most of the audience seats in the stadium were already full of people, including but not limited to representatives of other registered boxing companies, as well as politicians from various countries.
Colorful lights in the shape of squares shone down from the steel frame of the dome, and the entire stadium looked like the World Cup was about to begin. As far as the eye could see, the excitement in the audience seats was surging like a wave.
It was as if the whole world was watching this desperate match that was about to begin.
"But then again, where are our seats..."
Yukinoshita Haruno looked around but couldn't see a suitable spot.
Obviously, the areas here are divided according to different identities. For example, there are audience seats for dignitaries from various countries, and there are audience seats for registered corporate representatives who just come to watch the game.
But after looking around, she didn't see any of the familiar faces she had just met at the lottery.
Could it be that they haven’t arrived yet?
"Hello, are you a participating company?"
At this time, a waiter wearing a Kengankai uniform noticed the situation not far away and came over to ask politely.
"Ah, that's right."
"I see. In that case please follow me."
After getting a definite answer, the waiter bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and then took Wu Yi and others to a position that was not too far forward but large enough to see the situation on the field clearly, and then explained.
"For participating companies, all seats are available on the three floors around the entire competition venue."
"Okay, thank you."
After politely thanking the waiter for showing her the way, Yukinoshita Haruno turned around and smiled at the people behind her.
"Okay, let's just sit here."
"Take a seat~"
