Chapter 766

"The number of contestants who can survive this cruel slaughter in the first session of the A division is only two!"

"Only, only two!"

The words fell.

The whole venue first fell into a brief vacuum-like silence.

Immediately, a greater uproar swept out like a tsunami!

Many spectators stood up from their seats, their faces full of disbelief and extreme excitement.

Originally thought it was just a routine elimination, at least sixty-four people would remain in the end.

Who would have thought that the competition system would change suddenly, the elimination gate knife would be so sharp, and after one round, only thirty-two people would remain!

And this first session of the A division, eight people can only live two!

This cruel elimination rate to the extreme made everyone's excitement factors in their blood completely ignited while exclaiming!

After all, the closer to the meat grinder-like tragic slaughter, the more the bystanders can experience that trembling pleasure.

Who doesn't long to witness the peak duel between the strong without reservation?

Now, this fifth round, which has entered the white-hot purgatory stage, will obviously completely satisfy all their sensory stimuli!

Sawada Rika gave a satisfied smile to the near-fanatical reaction of the live audience.

Subsequently, she shouted excitedly towards the microphone:

"Then the fifth round of the competition, 'Hell Two-Match', the draw for the first session of the A division—"

"Start now!"

The huge screen switched instantly!

Eight photos and names of contestants began to roll, collide, and intertwine crazily at a dazzling speed!

Xia Mujun's calm face, Suzuki Longzhi's tightly pursed lips, Senben You-shu's arrogant eyes, Ishida Kazuo's steady portrait...

And their competition moments of thinking intently or waving pieces like swords flashed by like a glimpse.

The gears of fate, in this low and violent music and the deafening heartbeat roar synchronized by the whole venue, bit together coldly and ruthlessly again, and began to turn.

In the spectator seats, the vast majority of spectators were already flushed with excitement, waving their arms.

Even many participating contestants in the waiting area couldn't help but clench their fists, their eyes burning.

Everyone understands that this first session of the A division, the purgatory opening of eight surviving two, means what kind of fierce and cruel slaughter!

Among the participating contestants, some were so nervous that their Adam's apples rolled, some were so excited that their muscles were tense, and some were so indifferent that they seemed to be out of the situation.

Xia Mujun belonged to that extremely indifferent person.

He sat quietly in the spectator seats, his gaze calmly watching the names rolling on the screen, as if the whirlpool that decided the life-and-death draw had nothing to do with him.

Not caring at all how scarce the people who could stand and leave after this slaughter were.

But the expressions of Fukuda Si and others beside him were different.

Although Fukuda Si knew it was a two-match early.

But according to his original estimate, the first session of the A division should have at least ten to twelve people participating.

He really didn't expect that there were only a mere eight people.

Thinking about it, it was probably that the official made dynamic adjustments to the number of people in each division based on the actual arrival situation.

Perhaps someone abstained, perhaps someone was late and didn't arrive.

Resulting in some divisions, such as this A division, being exceptionally streamlined.

But no matter what.

This special battle opening that is white-hot to the extreme made him couldn't help but glance at Xia Mujun beside him, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but pull upward, revealing a playful smile of watching a good show.

Now, there is really something to watch.

After all, in his assessment, Xia Mujun's strength is almost the bottom of the eight people in this field.

Now that there are only eight people in the melee, the probability of Xia Mujun drawing a strong enemy and being eliminated in one battle is almost one hundred percent.

Horikawa Kaori pursed her lips tightly, her slender fingers twisted together unconsciously.

Her thoughts were similar to Fukuda Si's, so the worry in her eyes looking at Xia Mujun was almost overflowing.

But the grandfather and granddaughter Furukawa Masahiro and Furukawa Caixu were exceptionally calm, even a little happy.

Furukawa Caixu dangled her little legs, smiling and leaning into Xia Mujun's ear, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"The most powerful one in the field this time seems to be that five-dan Ishida Kazuo."

"It seems big brother will win steadily."

Furukawa Masahiro stroked his snow-white long beard, his eyes containing deep meaning, and laughed in a low voice:

"Yes, it seems there is not much suspense."

As for Suzuki Longzhi, he was ecstatic at this moment!

His heart was beating violently in his chest, almost breaking his ribs!

Eight surviving two!

This means that as long as Xia Mujun is not overly favored by the Goddess of Fate.

Then, the probability of encountering him, Suzuki Longzhi, a quasi-professional shogi player, will be terrifyingly high!

With Xia Mujun's strength comparable to Asahina Xiaoyue...

Winning against him is like sweeping fallen leaves in the autumn wind!

This time, it seems that God has destined that Xia Mujun must fulfill the "bet" of dating Xiaoyue!

Great, Xiaoyue, it seems you can get the happiness you want...

Tianbian Youren didn't have much heart to worry about Xia Mujun.

He originally thought that Xia Mujun's journey would stop at this round.

At this moment, he was more worriedly glancing at his friend Suzuki Longzhi beside him.

The twisted smile on Longzhi's face, mixed with ecstasy, ferocity, and determination, was really a bit terrifying.

Making him suspect whether Longzhi had some mental problems due to excessive pre-match pressure.

And Asahina Xiaoyue, looking at the rolling names on the screen, sighed softly in her heart.

No matter what, Xia Mujun is the person she loves after all.

She originally held a glimmer of luck, perhaps the competition system would be as gentle as usual, only needing to eliminate one person to advance.

Now it seems that she was too naive.

This sudden intensification of the competition system is like throwing everyone into a high-pressure furnace.

Instantly raised the survival pressure to the extreme.

This also made Xia Mujun's path to advancement, in her opinion, basically sentenced to death.

Xia Mujun came to participate in the competition to improve his life, even if he won one more round and got one more prize money, his tight days could be better.

But now...

Sigh.

She lowered her eyelids, covering a complex gloom in her eyes.

And on the other side of the spectator seats.

The three-person small group of Private Tianhao Academy, after digesting this competition system information, almost wanted to cheer!

Especially Senben You-shu.

He looked ordinary, even could be said to be a bit rough.

Compared with Xia Mujun, who was as handsome as the stars, it was simply a difference between clouds and mud.

Every time he saw Xia Mujun's face, and the female cheers it caused, the poison fire of jealousy in the bottom of his heart burned even more fiercely.

What's more, there was a long-standing grudge between the two schools.

He desperately longed to crush this guy on the chessboard!

As long as he wins against Xia Mujun, he can step on the head of this "popularity king" and instantly plunder all the eye-catching attention!

Let this little white face who relies on his face to eat know that if you are bad, you have to practice more!

In the world of shogi, only strength is the most important!

Just as this variety of life and heart-tide surging—

The cold broadcast sound, like the final judgment bell, rang through the whole hall.

【The competition is about to start, please eight contestants in the first session of the A division, according to the guidance of the staff, immediately go to the center of the venue to gather!】

【Repeat, the competition is about to start, please eight contestants in the first session of the A division, immediately gather!】
