With the Bang brothers serving as spectators and the Hero Association providing investment and support, this martial arts tournament was far more exciting than in previous years.
Even tickets have to be snatched up from scalpers.
Right now, the Hero Association has already broken even from the money earned from ticket sales alone.
"Uncle Bang, who does the Hero Association plan to send to watch the match?" Zhang Bairen asked.
"Atomic Samurai, and Sweet Mask."
Atomic Samurai is a close friend of mine, despite our age difference, and also a member of the martial arts community.
Sweet Mask was used to attract attention, and he also volunteered to come and watch the game.
"It is said that they personally examine martial artists to see if they are qualified to become heroes," Bang replied.
“So it was them. That makes sense.” Zhang Bairen nodded in agreement.
Atomic Samurai needs no introduction; he is a top expert in the Sword Saint Society and an authority in the martial arts world.
Sweet Mask, who is dedicated to the Hero Association, can also bring great popularity and real benefits to the martial arts tournament.
Furthermore, Sweet Mask also wanted to observe and understand the basic situation and combat strength of the martial artist up close.
These two are undoubtedly the most suitable.
As the publicity intensified, the Bang brothers attended, Atomic Samurai attended, the Hero Association provided support, Sweet Mask attended, Suiryu returned, Bakuzan participated, and martial artists from all walks of life flocked to the event, making this martial arts tournament reach its peak of popularity.
Soon, it was time to start the war.
The stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is already packed.
The host, holding a microphone, announced the start of the martial arts tournament in an impassioned voice.
"The 21st Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin."
"Let's welcome the contestants from all over the world!" The audience cheered as the host shouted.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly reached a fever pitch.
"First, there is this player who is participating in the competition for the first time, the nineteenth A-level hero, a man who has shown his skills under the name of Lightning Max."
Max, a master of Hyper Karate!
Next up is the Palm Ling Fist, famous for its lightning-fast techniques—Ling Ling!
······
There is also the original master of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, who has now created his own school of Bitter Insect Fist – Bitter Insect!
And the masked man who is participating in the competition for the first time, using his self-created Wolf Fist style—the werewolf!
Next up is Bakuzan, the master of the Dark Hell Killing Technique who won the championship two years ago with an absolute crushing advantage!
Finally, there is the young legend who once won four consecutive championships, the master of the Dark Body Fist - Water Dragon!
"
As the water dragon appeared, the atmosphere at the scene instantly reached a new level.
After all, the water dragon is indeed very good-looking.
"Water dragon! Water dragon!"
Champion! Champion!
"
"Water Dragon! You're so handsome!"
"
Hearing the passionate shouts around him, Baoshan revealed a chilling murderous intent filled with jealousy.
"Hmph, as long as I kill you, the title of strongest will be mine!" the hairy Bakuyama thought to himself.
Sensing the intense killing intent beside him, the Water Dragon revealed a disdainful smile.
His attention was not on Baoshan at all.
On the contrary, the guy wearing the wolf head mask seems quite interesting.
"It seems this competition won't be so boring." Shui Long's gaze turned to the werewolf player who was also watching him.
After the contestants stepped onto the stage, the host continued to shout encouragement.
"Now, please welcome our spectators!"
As the impassioned voices faded, two serious-looking elderly men, a middle-aged swordsman biting a toothpick, and two handsome young men entered the venue at the same time.
"Ahhh!"
Sweet Mask!
Sweet Mask!
!
"Donuts! Protect the world's best Sweet Mask!"
!
"Help! Sweet Mask is so handsome!"
"
"Huh? Who's that super handsome guy next to Sweet Mask? I've never seen him before. Is he some new star?!"
"You're really ignorant. The Martial Arts Association has already introduced him. This is Mr. Bomb's beloved disciple. He once defeated a Dragon-level monster single-handedly and saved the strongest young martial artist in City A."
······
Zhang Bairen paid no attention to the audience's discussions and shouts.
His strength, apart from facing Saitama, is practically invincible.
I do things simply because I feel like it now.
I just wanted to join in the fun, so I came straight here.
The discussions and opinions of passersby had no effect on Zhang Bairen.
"The first guest to enter is Mr. Bang, who is known as the Silver Fang!"
As the host excitedly introduced the game, Bangu waved gently and took his seat in the spectator stands.
"Next up is Mr. Bang's elder brother, the martial arts master who created the Whirlwind Iron Slash Fist, Mr. Bomb!"
With a serious expression, Bomb waved slightly and sat down next to Bang.
"Then, there is the top swordsman, Mr. Kamikaze, known as the Atomic Samurai!"
Atomic Samurai, chewing on a toothpick, sat down in the spectator stands with a nonchalant air.
"Next up, I believe everyone recognizes him, he is none other than Sweet Mask, the number one A-rank player!"
"On the contrary, many people may not recognize this last gentleman."
He is none other than Master Bomb's personal disciple, Mr. Zhang Bairen, who saved City A and killed a Dragon-level monster!
After the spectators entered, the host continued, "Dear contestants, I believe you all know this."
This martial arts tournament is sponsored by the Hero Association, and the prize money for the champion, runner-up, and third place is more generous than in previous years.
Furthermore, due to the inquiry from the Water Dragon player, and our discussions.
The final decision was that whoever wins the final championship can challenge the spectators to a duel.
Aren't the contestants here pleasantly surprised?!
"Master...Master..." The trembling Bitter Worm secretly glanced at Banggu.
"I wonder if my strength is up to the standard of an S-class hero." Water Dragon looked at the spectator stands quite naturally.
The werewolf player's gaze quickly swept over Bang and Zhang Bairen, and then he quickly lowered his head.
"Hmph, can I issue a challenge publicly?"
"Since that's the case, I don't need to take action secretly anymore!" The wolf's plan had quietly changed.
Zhang Bairen looked towards the arena and spotted the hungry wolf wearing a wolf head mask.
“Uncle-Master, look at the werewolf contestant on the stage. Doesn’t he look like the hungry wolf you expelled from the sect?” Zhang Bairen reminded him.
"Ghost Wolf?" Bang narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Ghost Wolf.
"Oh, a disciple who was expelled from the sect by Brother Bango?" Atomic Samurai showed a hint of interest.
Even Sweet Mask cast a curious glance at it.
"It does look very similar. Let's see how he performs." Bang withdrew his gaze, not paying too much attention.
The current Hungry Wolf has not yet begun the Hero Hunt.
Therefore, Bang believed that Garou was very much like himself when he was young, impetuous, arrogant and conceited.
Thinking he had some talent, he became arrogant and injured his fellow disciples.
As for anything worse, I haven't thought of that yet.
"A water dragon versus a hungry wolf, what a long-awaited moment!" A smile appeared on Zhang Bairen's lips.
The purpose of this trip is simply to enjoy the show and have some fun.
Before his previous life, Zhang Bairen was curious about who was stronger, the Water Dragon or the Hungry Wolf, during this period.
Judging solely from their physical fitness, they should be roughly the same.
However, from a psychological perspective, the hungry wolf could easily overpower the water dragon.
I wonder if the current Garou has activated the invincibility cheat and the sit-up cheat.
