As Luo Wei had said, since it's a Dark Tournament, how could Yusuke Urameshi not be there?
The problem is, how did Yusuke Urameshi end up teaming up with his mentor, Genkai?
That's quite rare.
In addition, Luo Wei met more than just these acquaintances; many people who surprised him also participated in this martial arts tournament.
Luo Wei was almost certain that this Dark Martial Arts Tournament would be very exciting.
Boom!
An hour later, a loud bell rang out, echoing in every corner of the hall.
The previously noisy hall was immediately silenced by the sudden chime of the bell.
Many people even covered their ears.
Everyone looked in the direction from which the bell was coming.
A burly monster emerged from a passage.
He was carrying a large clock in his hand and wearing a mask on his face, only revealing his eyes.
Those eyes swept over everyone in the hall, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
Without a doubt, this is a rather powerful monster.
The mask worn by the monster seems to be enhanced by some kind of magic, preventing others from peeping at it.
Therefore, few people present could see the monster's true form.
This naturally excludes Lo Wei.
Although the person who made the mask was highly skilled and possessed powerful magic, it couldn't stop Lovi from spying on them.
Luo Wei easily saw through the mask and recognized the face behind it.
This monster is none other than one of the villains in Yu Yu Hakusho.
Hu Yulu.
This made Luo Wei very curious. The origin of the Dark Martial Arts Tournament had already been changed, yet it could still be related to this guy.
This is a bit outrageous.
Toguro rang the bell, and the entire hall fell silent.
He first bowed, then slowly said, "Welcome everyone. I am the host of this Dark Martial Arts Tournament."
"Next, I will explain the rules of this competition to you all."
"Just like the last martial arts tournament, this tournament will still adopt a group elimination system."
"A total of 64 teams participated in this martial arts tournament."
"Next, we will draw lots to pair you up. Each of your teams will have a number card. Once you draw a number card, you will be paired up."
"You'll need to do your best to eliminate your opponents in order to advance to the next round."
After hearing this, Luo Wei roughly understood the rules of the lottery.
For example, if he is number 55, and the person who draws number 14 is number 14, then number 14 must draw his own number 55 for the pairing to be successful.
If a different number is drawn, the pairing will fail, and a new number must be drawn.
How should I put it? This lottery method is indeed a bit cumbersome. Who was the brilliant strategist who came up with it?
Luo Wei was too lazy to complain.
After explaining the rules of the lottery, Toguro threw the large bell he was holding away.
The clock transformed into a number box during its flight and landed on the ground.
This thing even has a transformation function, that's interesting.
"Now, please invite team number 1 to draw lots," Toguro said.
A magnificent team emerged from the crowd, and the drawing of lots began.
He drew number 33.
Unfortunately, number 33 did not draw number 1, and the pairing was unsuccessful.
In reality, very few teams were successfully paired up after the first round of the draw.
Only three teams were successfully paired up.
However, as the draw progressed, more and more teams were successfully paired up.
After the fifth round of draws, all teams have been successfully matched.
Interestingly, the team that successfully paired with Lo Wei was actually number 33.
After all the teams were successfully paired up, Toguro walked to a wall and threw a punch.
With a deafening roar, cracks radiated outwards in all directions from the center of Toguro's fist, like a spider web.
When the cracks reached a certain point, the wall shattered with a roar, revealing a wide passage.
This surprised everyone present, because none of them had previously discovered the existence of this passage.
Toguro loudly proclaimed, "Please follow me, everyone. I will lead you to the actual site."
After saying that, he walked into the passage.
64 teams followed closely behind.
The passage was extremely long; it took the group more than an hour to reach the exit.
As they passed through this exit, something unexpected happened.
An ancient city (Nuowang Zhao) came into view of all the participating teams.
This city is like an enlarged version of Nijo Castle, one of Kyoto's famous historical sites, but it is older, more majestic, sacred, and more mysterious.
It is also worth mentioning that this ancient city is not underground.
Instead, it was on the ground.
Looking up, Luo Wei could see the azure sky, the white clouds, and the sun suspended above.
Many people exclaimed in amazement. This was truly unbelievable.
"The passage... the passage has disappeared."
Just then, someone exclaimed in surprise, and the group present hurriedly turned around to look, and sure enough, they found that the passage to the afterlife had disappeared.
Instead, there is a sheer cliff.
Some impatient people even launched an attack on the cliff face.
A rumbling sound came from behind.
A huge gap was carved into the cliff face, but behind the gap was not a passage, but a solid wall.
135. Little Secret Realm
"Please calm down, everyone."
Just then, Toguro, wearing a mask, spoke, his calm voice reaching everyone's ears.
"The passage hasn't disappeared; it's been closed."
"However, once the Dark Martial Arts Tournament is over, the passage will naturally reopen, and then you can return to Kyoto through the passage."
This explanation calmed many people down, but some still asked, confused, "Why close the passageway?"
Toguro explained, "Every time the Dark Tournament begins, a group of people always come here to cause trouble. In order to ensure the safe conduct of the tournament, we have no choice but to do this."
"Please rest assured, everyone, we will ensure your safe return after the martial arts tournament concludes."
*Sizzle sizzle...*
Just then, the sound of machinery turning rang out.
The gates of the ancient city slowly opened, as if welcoming the arrival of sixty-four teams.
"Everyone, follow me."
Toguro turned around and walked into the castle.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow, since the passage they had come from had disappeared, and there was no way to leave.
If you make a scene and threaten to leave now, you'll only be laughed at by those around you.
Moreover, the Dark Martial Arts Tournament has been held for so many years, and there have been no reports of any problems.
Having arrived at this point, the group followed Toguro with confidence and entered the ancient castle.
This ancient city is incredibly large; it could easily accommodate not only sixty-four teams, but even one hundred and twenty-eight teams.
In the center of the city was a spacious and luxurious mansion.
As the group entered the mansion's main hall, they found tables laden with a dazzling array of food.
It seemed to have gathered all the world's delicacies.
Toguro said, "Gentlemen, this is the lunch we have prepared for you. Please enjoy it."
"After lunch, you are all free to explore the city at your leisure."
"Your rooms are ready, and someone will take you there tonight."
"The competition will officially begin at eight o'clock every morning, so please do not be absent."
"I won't disturb your meal any longer."
"I'll take my leave."
After saying this, Toguro bowed again and slowly withdrew from the hall, leaving behind a table full of delicacies for the members of the sixty-four teams participating in the competition to enjoy.
Luo Wei led his team to a seat.
If it were just ordinary (added) food, Loewe certainly wouldn't care and wouldn't even glance at it.
But these foods are different.
Luo Wei discovered that these foods were not ordinary foods; some of the meats even had residual special power on them, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary meats.
It must be the flesh of some kind of magical beast or monster.
This kind of meat will not appear in the human world, but it is very likely to appear in the demon realm, or some other place.
It is considered a special food.
That's why Lo Wei sat down and took a bite.
After someone took the lead, the other groups gradually took their seats and began to enjoy their meal.
In an instant, the once quiet hall gradually became lively.
The noise rose and fell, creating a great uproar.
Luo Wei ate a piece of steak cooked from some unknown animal, and his brow furrowed slightly.
How should I put it? I'm somewhat disappointed.
It's not that the steak was bad, but it didn't meet my expectations.
These steaks are more delicious, more chewy, and more juicy than regular beef.
But that's about it.
The calories in the steak don't match its deliciousness at all, which is a bit of a shame.
To give an example, in the world of "The Untouchable Prisoners", food with a higher hunting level, as long as it is edible, will generally taste better than food with a lower hunting level.
Moreover, the higher the hunting level, the richer the nutrition and the more delicious the taste.
The nutritional value of these steaks is at level 10.
However, its deliciousness is only rated on two levels.
That's why Lo Wei was disappointed.
This situation arises partly from the culinary skills of the cooks and partly from the fact that these foods lack the necessary "food cells."
