Chapter 719 The Third Round of Battle Begins

Tokusaburo Ohta tried his best to get out of the game. Although the matter was brought to Gong Baosen, it did not come out in the end.

Because of Ma Liang's cannon fire, the senior management of the Guoshu Museum was very worried. They were busy putting out the fire and dealing with the matter, and had no time to care about anything else.

Being brought down by their own people, all the masters were disgusted and felt that their faces were shameless.

But unfortunately, even Zhang Zimin couldn't do anything to Ma Liang, because behind Ma Liang stood a warlord who was in charge of Lu Di.

Because it was a hot topic involving Geng Liangchen, public opinion eventually intensified. That night, outside the Geng Mansion, the reporters stationed there were lucky enough to interview Su Yi who was out for a walk.

Su Yi was followed by Yixiantian and Luo Yu, as well as a dozen brothers from the pistol team.

Two reporters suddenly came out and were immediately pointed at their heads by more than a dozen guns.

Fortunately, Su Yi recognized them quickly and asked the pistol team to put down their guns and let them come over.

"I'm sorry, you two. I didn't scare you, did I?" Su Yi said in a pleasant tone, "My people overreacted a little bit. I apologize to you on their behalf."

"No, no need, Sir Geng." A reporter said with lingering fear, forcing himself to calm down, "We all know that you have been assassinated these days, and it is completely understandable for your men to react like this. We should have identified ourselves earlier."

"It was a misunderstanding. It's great that we can understand each other." Su Yi smiled, "As compensation, I can accept your interview here."

"Really? That's great!" The two reporters were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly took out pen and paper.

"Master Geng, have you heard about Ma Liang's remarks? Do you have anything to respond to?"

"I have heard what Master Ma said, and he is very unfriendly to me." Su Yi smiled, "Please tell him two things. First, I, Geng Liangchen, accept reasonable doubts and well-intentioned suggestions, but I absolutely reject malicious speculation and groundless slander. If Master Ma continues to talk nonsense because of his disrespect, I will definitely come to him and ask for an explanation."

This sentence shocked the two reporters and they suddenly became excited.

He is worthy of being the hero of Jinmen, he is so domineering and tough!

But it wasn't over yet. Su Yi then said calmly: "Secondly, aside from his identity as Master Ma, I am very disgusted with the things Ma Liang did in Lu Di. I hope he will rein in his past, change his past, and be able to He should stick to his integrity as a Chinese and do more things that are beneficial to the people. Otherwise, he should do his homework and understand how my reputation as a Tianjin hero came about."

The two reporters felt their blood boiling and their scalps numb.

Is this a threat?

This is definitely a threat!

Where did the name Jinmen Hero come from?

It was obtained because Su Yi assassinated Zhang Jingyao.

This second sentence is a warning to Ma Liang. If there is another persecution of anti-Japanese martyrs and massacre of patriotic people, Zhang Jingyao will serve as a warning to Ma Liang!

All this time, Su Yi has never publicly admitted that he was the one who assassinated Zhang Jingyao.

But this time, he seemed to be implicitly admitting it.

Based on this alone, these two reporters will definitely make a profit tonight!

"Master Geng, Ma Liang said your injury is serious. Is this true?" the reporter asked, holding back his excitement.

After a pause, the reporter hesitated and said: "Master Geng, you can answer this question at will. Don't worry, we will word it carefully when reporting."

"Thank you." Su Yi heard the reporter's kindness and said with a smile, "But there is nothing to hide in this matter. Ma Liang is telling the truth. My injury is indeed not serious, and I am not doing well now. But Fortunately, Brother Luo Yu, Yi Bo Yuntian, rushed back to Wudang Mountain as soon as I was shot, and traveled thousands of miles to bring me his master's healing medicine. "

"After using Luo and Brother's medicine, my injuries will not be affected at all during the competition. However, after the competition, I may need to stay in bed for a long time. This is also a side effect of this medicine."

The two reporters were greatly surprised when they heard this and asked hurriedly. Su Yi smiled and pushed Luo Yu to the front of the stage and asked him to be interviewed by the reporters directly.

Luo Yu was a little embarrassed, but also a little eager to try.

Young people can't resist being in the limelight.

However, he didn't boast, he just told the truth, including the efficacy of the healing medicine he brought.

The two reporters were greatly shocked, not only by the magic of this medicine, but also by Luo Yu's loyalty.

After asking a few questions, the two reporters returned satisfied.

That night, the extra number about the exclusive interview with Geng Liangchen came out, and the extra number printed by the newspaper was sold out.

The title was "full of useful information". Readers were very happy and relieved by Su Yi's reply to Ma Liang. They were also moved by Luo Yu's loyalty in "getting medicine from thousands of miles away".

Because Ma Liang poured dirty water on Su Yi, many people who liked Geng Liangchen were very angry, and some even went to Ma Liang's residence to protest.

As soon as Su Yi's response came out, the people who supported Su Yi couldn't be more satisfied, and they almost felt happy.

At that moment, someone bought the extra-numbered newspaper and gave it to Ma Liang for free. At the same time, they were looking forward to seeing Ma Liang's reaction and expression.

It's a pity that Ma Liang hid at home and couldn't come out, which disappointed these people.

It wasn't until Ma Liang went out the next day that reporters blocked the door of his home, and he had to respond with an ugly face.

"For a warrior, the most important thing is to have martial virtue. What does it mean to have martial virtue? First of all, you have to respect your predecessors! I hope Geng Liangchen can learn how to respect his predecessors!"

"In addition, I don't want to respond to matters unrelated to this game, and I don't want anyone to divert everyone's attention by talking nonsense!"

Although Ma Liang was stubborn, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was "fierce on the outside but weak on the inside" and noticed that his tone had softened a lot.

Obviously, he was frightened by Su Yi.

The competition reached the final stage, especially with Su Yi's participation, the audience in Tianjin, and even those who were paying attention to this event across the country, burst into unparalleled enthusiasm and expectations for the next game.

Although Zhang Zimin and Yu Xuezhong had tried their best to control the number of spectators in the stadium for safety reasons, and conducted strict safety checks on the spectators entering the stadium, this still failed to dispel the enthusiasm of the audience.

Outside the stadium, tens of thousands of spectators who could not enter gathered. Even if they could not see the game, they hoped to feel the atmosphere of the game here and know the result of the game as soon as possible.

And the stadium was also filled with tens of thousands of spectators.

In addition, several radio stations chose to "live broadcast" the event in the form of commentary, so that many people who have radios at home can hear the process and results of the game without leaving home.

It can be said that most people in Tianjin are paying attention to this event.

Even looking at the whole country, a considerable number of people are paying attention to this event!

This made Zhang Zimin, Gong Baosen and other organizers of the event excited and nervous.

The unprecedented grand occasion of this event once again made them full of hope for the future of national martial arts.

The third round of the game started at eight o'clock in the morning.

Unlike the previous two rounds, in order to give full play to the advantages of martial artists, this game has added the option of equipment. The two sides of the competition can negotiate on their own before the fight, whether to fight with fists and feet or with equipment.

If the two sides cannot reach a consensus, they will toss a coin on the spot to decide the way of fighting.

In addition, since there were many cases of serious injuries caused by excessive punches in the previous two rounds of fighting, Su Yi alone sent two opponents to the hospital.

Therefore, starting from the third round, both parties must sign a self-discipline and exemption agreement before the fight.

The so-called self-discipline means to avoid using dangerous moves in a humanitarian and sportsmanlike manner. Once a fatality occurs on the ring, the person who used the move will be arrested on the spot.

Exemption from responsibility means that both sides will wear uniform protective gear to fight, and the referee will fulfill the responsibility of stopping the danger in time. In this case, if the contestant is still injured during the fight, the consequences will be at his own risk.

To be honest, this competition rule is very rough, and the boundaries between the self-discipline and exemption parts are also very vague. Once a similar situation occurs, the nature may be difficult to define.

But in the first competition that truly accommodates various martial arts schools, uses unified rules, and competes on the same ring, it is very responsible to formulate such rules.

Even Su Yi cannot forcibly apply the rules of the MMA arena in later generations. If that were the case, more than half of the moves of traditional martial arts would not be usable.

Moreover, the essence of traditional martial arts lies in the unique moves that are not passed on by various schools.

These special moves generally have the function of "KO". Once used, they can either reverse the situation or directly determine the outcome.

But these special moves are also dangerous, such as hiding flowers under leaves, wiping eyebrows with gold thread, etc.

Whether it is fatal or not depends entirely on whether the performer will stop at the last moment, or whether he will show mercy.

If these moves are completely banned, the charm of traditional martial arts will be removed by at least 70%.

But if they are not banned, there is a great possibility that a fight will lead to injury or even direct disability.

So how to grasp this degree, how to use reasonable rules to constrain the two sides of the fight, and make the ring fight safer, requires repeated experience accumulation, continuous demonstration and practice.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight, and there is still a long way to go.

In any case, the current fighting rules are the most acceptable and satisfactory for both players and audiences. Some flaws and loopholes have also been tolerated by enthusiastic people as much as possible.

Since there were not too many matches, only one ring was set up. In the first match, two players from Group A came on stage to discuss the weapons.

The two put on protective gear and presented a wonderful and fierce fight, which ignited the passion of the audience from the beginning.

In the second fight, the players on stage were Ota Tokusaburo from Group B and the lighthouse boxer Benny Leonard.

In fact, Ota Tokusaburo's identity is already tacitly known in the martial arts world. He has been in Tianjin for many years and is not an unknown person. Many people recognize him.

But most of the audience did not know that this "He Taitian" was from Zhepeng. When they heard that he represented Wudang Taiyi Sect, they immediately became excited. They shouted loudly to support him and asked him to "beat Kunlun Slave".

Ota Tokusaburo was also happy to pretend to be a Chinese and accept the cheers from the audience. He humbly learned the style of Chinese martial artists and bowed his hands in greeting.

Ota Tokusaburo proposed to compete with weapons, but what kind of weapons can a boxer have? Do boxing gloves count?

Benny Leonard naturally would not agree.

According to the rules, when the two sides cannot reach a consensus, the referee will toss a coin to make a decision.

But Tokusaburo Ota generously chose to give in and agreed to give up his proposal and compete with Benny Leonard.

So Tokusaburo Ota received another round of cheers.

The two fought back and forth for a while, and finally Tokusaburo Ota, who had the upper hand, threw Benny Leonard to the stage with a back throw, ending the fight.

In the eyes of the audience, Tokusaburo Ota was so strong that he crushed the whole game.

But in the eyes of discerning people, the lighthouse boxer was in a bad state, his reaction was slow, and his punches were weak and powerless, and he did not pose any threat to Tokusaburo Ota throughout the game.

The players who knew or heard about Tokusaburo Ota's "personality" knew this very well, and secretly cursed him for being shameless and despicable.

"Isn't this a match-fixing?" Li Shuwen, who was watching the match in the guest seats, was very disgusted with this scene. "Haneda, you don't care about this?"

"How can I care?" Gong Baosen was a little helpless. "Without evidence, will they admit it? Before, Zhu Guofu accused me of trying to bribe him to play a match-fixing match, but firstly, the Zhe Peng people talked through middlemen, and when I asked him about it, he immediately evaded the question and said he didn't know; secondly, Guofu is my nephew, and if I questioned and held the Zhe Peng people accountable because of his words, I'm afraid there would be more criticism, so I had to give up."

"We still have to think of a way to make rules to prevent this from happening." Zhang Zimin said, "As for this Zhe Peng person, haha, the real thing can't be fake, and the fake thing can't be real. With such a bad heart and only thinking about crooked ways, how far can he go?"

The rules of the ring match are still five minutes per game, and only one round determines the winner, so the process is very fast.

Soon, the first pair of fights in the three groups were all over.

The second pair of people in Group B were Chang Dongsheng, a disciple of Ma Liang, and Tong Zhongyi, the successor of the Xinyi Liuhequan of the Dai family in Jin Province.

This duel was seen by many as a fight between dragons and tigers.

One was a master of Chaquan and wrestling, and the other was the successor of Xinyi Ba. Both were well-known martial artists, and their strength was recognized as strong.

Su Yi also knew that these two were opponents who could pose a threat to him and should not be underestimated, so he was also paying attention to this fight.

According to the previous records of the two, Tong Zhongyi was slightly better.

Moreover, two years ago, the two had a competition, and Tong Zhongyi won at that time.

So in this fight, most people generally favored Tong Zhongyi.

In particular, Tong Zhongyi was generous and loved to make friends, so his popularity was higher than Chang Dongsheng. Many people cheered for him at the scene, which made both Ma Liang in the VIP seat and Chang Dongsheng on the stage look a little unhappy.
