Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 322 The Most Expensive Bonus in History

"I can only fight for second place..."

The three swordsmen were shocked, but they had to admit that it made a lot of sense and they couldn't refute it at all.

After all, the sword fighting skills you used to participate in the competition were all compiled by Lin Yuan. Being second in the world is already very impressive.

Do you still want to betray your teacher and ancestors?
As for not using Lin Yuan's sword skills, is it okay to participate in the competition with sword skills from other schools?
Of course, they could, but the three swordsmen thought that they might not even make it past the knockout rounds and would only be completely defeated.

They knew too well how strong Lin Yuan was, he was simply inhuman.

How could the improved kendo moves he came up with not crush all the sword techniques currently on the market?

Kamiizumi Sainao still remembers the first time he met Lin Yuan. When the three of them were easily defeated in the battle, they thought they had seen his true strength.

But when they met this time, they were surprised to find that Lin Yuan was like a towering mountain hidden in the clouds.

When the fog at the foot of the mountain dissipates a little, you can see a little more of the whole mountain.

But you will never know how high this mountain is. You can only sigh at the peak shrouded in clouds and mist.

Now the mountain is showing its ambitious side.

Ueizumi Saisao had already vaguely seen part of Lin Yuan's intention:

He used kendo competitions and high prize money as bait to attract the world's attention, and then promoted his improved combat kendo.

The more people practice the improved version of Kendo, the greater his influence will be, until all Kendo practitioners in the world become his disciples, and there will be no two ways to practice.

Founding a sect is just the beginning; unifying the world is the ultimate goal.

Thinking of this, the hearts of the three swordsmen became even hotter.

If Lin Yuan's idea can be realized, then they will also leave a strong mark in the history of kendo as the first followers, and their status may even surpass their ancestors such as Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Tsukahara Bokuden and other predecessors!

How could this not excite them? Leaving one's name in history was simply the highest level of achievement.

What surprised the three swordsmen even more was that Lin Yuan's route of establishing his own sect was very paralyzing and therefore highly feasible!
He did not declare war on the Japanese kendo world right away, but instead organized a kendo competition with a strong commercial flavor.

I do not seek any authoritative endorsement, nor do I challenge the existing kendo level.

He just uses his fame and huge sums of money to attract players to participate.

It sounded normal, just a high-prize martial arts tournament. There were already plenty of UFCs in the world, so one more wouldn't be a big deal.

Since there is a martial arts competition, it wouldn’t be strange to “incidentally” release some kendo fighting guides recorded by Lin Yuan, right?

This set of fighting guides, which is based on actual combat, does not seem to involve any ambition to compete for supremacy in the industry, such as kendo assessments and standard recognition.

Therefore, it is not easy to arouse the vigilance of the current kendo community, causing them to counterattack immediately and bring huge resistance.

As long as this competition is a huge success, attracts the attention of the world, and becomes an annual event, the public will naturally ask:
"Why isn't the traditional kendo community participating? Can they even compete?"

"Isn't it just a trick?"

"Since it's kendo, it should be able to be used in actual combat. You'll know if you can fight on stage. Any more talk is just nonsense!"

At that point, Lin Yuan would leverage his influence in the media to incite a major debate about whether martial arts should be based on actual combat. At this point, any resistance from the traditional kendo community would be limited to defeating Lin Yuan's school in actual combat to prove their worth.

But this is impossible!
With the support of the people, Lin Yuan will definitely be able to seize the highest voice in the kendo industry. He can easily tear apart the old kendo system and rebuild his own.

The smartest way for the veterans of the old system is to integrate into the new rules.

Those stubborn old guys can only disappear in the waves of the times.

It's really cruel.

The admiration for the strong is deeply ingrained in the Japanese genes. When Lin Yuan showed his domineering side, the three swordsmen became even more awed and loyal to him.

"I'll add a grand prize. The winner of the Kendo Tournament will have the chance to challenge me for the top spot." Lin Yuan continued, "If you can defeat me, you'll receive a $1 million prize."

"$1 million..."

The three swordsmen were completely shocked by the amount of the prize.

They can even imagine how crazy people will be when the final grand prize amount is announced!

No matter how strong Lin Yuan has shown in the past, most people would lose their minds in the face of the sky-high bonus and the title of the best in the world.

They will only feel:

"Yes, you are very strong. You kicked Tyson away with one kick. I might not dare to fight you with bare hands, but it's different with weapons. You are also mortal. If you have weapons, how much less lethality can you have?"

"Maybe I can't win, but I have to try. What if I win? Everyone should always have dreams! As long as I can pull this off, I'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life!"

"Even if I can't beat Lin Yuan at such a grand event, I can still show my face to the whole world. Now that I have fame, making money won't be a simple matter, right?"

The three swordsmen can now be completely certain that as soon as the final prize is announced, it will immediately attract the attention of the whole world.

This "Second Best Kendo Tournament in the World" has already been half successful before it even started.

In this world, only Lin Yuan dares to offer such a prize. If other competitions also learn to attract attention in this way, they will inevitably lose all their money quickly.

In fact, Lin Yuan could have offered a higher prize, 10 billion or even 100 billion US dollars would be no problem. No one could take the prize money away anyway, so he could exaggerate it as much as he wanted.

But he acted very restrained, which was really too exaggerated and would cause a lot of unnecessary doubts on the Internet, such as:

"Do you really have that much money? Prove it! You can't just say how much it is, right? I said I'd give you ten apartments in Tokyo if you beat me!"

"With such a large sum of money involved, shouldn't they prove the legal source? Is there any shady operation behind this?"

Too much is as bad as too little. One hundred million US dollars is a good amount.

This ultimate showdown will also become the biggest highlight of the "Second Martial Arts Tournament in the World".

Who doesn’t want to see the exciting performance of the brave man challenging the ultimate devil?
There is still a huge suspense: Can the brave man take away the sky-high prize money?

And when Lin Yuan crushes one challenger after another with his undisputed performance, he will successfully implant the image of an invincible martial arts master in the hearts of people all over the world.

The path to becoming a legendary warrior now appeared at Lin Yuan's feet.
