Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Although he wanted to give back to the Dragon Kingdom and maintain good relations with his former homeland, he could not do so without expecting anything in return, otherwise his goodwill would be too cheap.

Once taking becomes taken for granted, the kindness of the giver will not be respected, which is intolerable.

If this young Taoist priest can't even get past this hurdle, then there's no need to bring it up again.

The cruelty of this world is that in one's life, there are not many opportunities to change one's fate through hard work, and even the opportunity to fight desperately requires desperate efforts to obtain!

Miyazaki Yu has now set up a Dragon Gate; if you can get past it, you will leap over the Dragon Gate; if you can't, you will live a mediocre life.

Over the next few days, the whole of London was swept up in a series of thrilling and intense matches, sparking a new wave of excitement.

New tourists are constantly pouring in, and the surge in tourist numbers has brought the British government both pain and joy.

The influx of tourists has brought huge fiscal revenue, with the revenue in just a few days exceeding the tourism revenue of the previous six months.

After all, once people arrive, they need money for food, drink, and even basic necessities, and various price increases keep happening, making unscrupulous merchants excited and their eyes gleam.

Predicting which player will win has become a popular betting activity, with stakes exceeding even those for the World Cup.

After such fierce competition, the 57 matches finally came to an end, and the list of the top ten was freshly released!

"Orville? The British still like to use some underhanded tactics."

Then there's Tak from Russia. This guy has honed his physical body to an excellent level, much stronger than when I first improved and cultivated the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt techniques.

Then there's Wang Mingdao. Not bad, it seems we can have some expectations for him.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw Wang Mingdao's name.

Chapter 705 Excited Warriors

Miyazaki Yu only learned the complete list of the top ten after the final battle.

After attending the opening ceremony on the first day, neither he nor the Queen attended the rest of the competition.

So it was only at this time that we learned about this list.

Apart from the organizer, Great Britain, who sent Orville to save face—a minor form of cheating—the other contestants were all genuine martial artists, not those with superpowers.

Japan also sent nine people to participate, but since the Sword Masters Association did not participate, the strength of these nine people was not very strong. Now there is only one person left, and Miyazaki Yu is very familiar with this person, namely Kyogoku Makoto.

It must be said that Makoto Kyogoku is indeed exceptionally talented. He is the youngest among the ten people on the list, but his strength is by no means weak. However, if we look at the overall score, his score ranks second, only after that Tucker.

Orville is slightly better than Wang Mingdao, but he has hidden his true strength and is only ranked sixth.

"Mr. Miyazaki, this is the list of the top ten. Shall we proceed with the final process tomorrow and provide individual guidance to these ten individuals?"

A middle-aged, balding British official stood respectfully to one side, his plump face full of deference.

He was in charge of the entire event, and he organized and arranged everything, big and small.

So he's been under a lot of stress lately, which has made his hair loss problem even worse.

He used to have a sparse tuft of hair on his head that sustained his last bit of stubbornness, but now, even that last bit of stubbornness has left him.

The bright, reflective top of his head added a touch of comicality to his otherwise serious expression.

"These competitions must have brought your government a lot of profits, right?" Miyazaki Yu asked, resting his chin on his hand and smiling at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged official immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "Mr. Miyazaki is right. This is all thanks to Mr. Miyazaki's name. The people of Great Britain will always be grateful to you."

Miyazaki Yu chuckled lightly, naturally not believing such a statement.

"Is the competition over just because the top ten have been decided?"

The official was taken aback: "Mr. Miyazaki, you mean...?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Originally, I just wanted to find a few people to give me some pointers as a token of my appreciation. But now that it has become a large-scale global event, I can't just leave it at that."

So I've decided to cash out my reward ahead of schedule. But after that, we'll have to determine the top ten. In other words, from now on, all those so-called scores are invalid, and the top ten should be pretty close in ability.

Simply collecting data through instruments is not enough to determine their strength or weakness, so the top ten must be ranked according to the normal competition process.

The official then understood Miyazaki Yu's meaning and was overjoyed.

The previous matches, while incredibly exciting, still had some issues.

That is, collecting data through sensors and giving a score seems fair, but in reality, it is still very problematic.

Because of these competition rules, the selected competitors tend to be power-based, putting skill-based competitors at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, if you only look at the ratings, there will be situations where two players win one and lose one match, but both of them have very high ratings.

Among the top ten, there are two such cases, one of whom lost the competition but still made it into the top ten.

Therefore, these doubts have never stopped from the beginning until now.

However, since Miyazaki Yu was involved, and this was originally a coaching match, the most important thing about these matches was not the players' rankings, but the old man's mood.

If someone is in a bad mood, the competition simply won't happen, so there's no basis for complaining.

But now that this gentleman has taken the initiative to do it, that's really great!

The competition is currently at its peak, and huge sums of money are flowing into our hands. Of course, it would be great if we could keep going!

Moreover, he is in charge of specific tasks, which leaves a lot of room for maneuver. With proper handling, it would be quite easy to complete the task in a few more days!

More importantly, there's a climax right now: Miyazaki Yu's reward.

"That's wonderful, Mr. Miyazaki. I'll take care of it immediately. However, there's one thing I still need to confirm. You previously mentioned that the 114 people who made it into the official competition could challenge you all once, and that you would offer them some pointers during the battle. I wonder if that's still the case now..."

Miyazaki Yu said calmly, "Of course I remember. Just let everyone who has entered the official competition participate together, including the top ten. They will also receive individual guidance. Go and make the arrangements."

The official's eyes lit up, and he excitedly took his leave. The news spread like wildfire.

Upon receiving this news, the athletes, who were gathered at the training ground, were all very excited.

"Great! Lord Miyazaki is finally going to instruct us in martial arts!"

"Unparalleled in the divine realm! Thank you for your blessing!" a burly man with a large beard and dark skin exclaimed loudly.

However, his language was clearly not English. Everyone already knew that this was a spoil of war from a strange religion, so they pretended not to hear it and just got excited.

Those who understood chuckled; that person truly deserved the title of 'God'.

Among the crowd, the ten people in the top ten were naturally even happier.

They are able to rank in the top ten under various data and calculation models. Even if there are slight discrepancies, they are the best among the crowd, and there is no denying that!

The closer they get to the top level of power, the stronger their competitive spirit becomes, and the more they want to prove their strength!

Moreover, everyone knows that although they are all in the top ten, the higher the ranking, the greater the chance of receiving attention and guidance!

In fact, if you perform well enough to gain this person's favor, you could rise to the top in one step!

So when they learned that the top ten would be determined, the fighting spirit of each of the top ten was completely ignited!

Orville's eyes narrowed slightly as he stood in the crowd.

"Lord Miyazaki changed his mind? That's normal. This matter was originally just a small excuse, but now that it has been taken seriously by martial artists all over the world, it has been given new meaning. Even Lord Miyazaki wants to see what level the strength of martial artists in this world has reached."

At the same time, a thought in his mind became increasingly clear.

That is, if he wants to preserve his sacred bloodline and protect the power in his hands, the only person on the entire Earth who can help him is Miyazaki Yu.

Involuntarily, he recalled the words that Miyazaki Yu had once said to him.

"In this world, the choice of direction and stance may be the most important factor in determining the future. The old era has passed. Seeing new choices and making decisions is the true courage of a brave person!"

He took a deep breath: "Perhaps, I really should make a decision!"

Chapter 706 The Weight of God (2 Updates!)

The stadium was now bustling with noise!

More than half a million people gathered outside the venue, and the British government has been working overtime to erect twenty huge screens to broadcast the latest developments from the scene in real time.

Even so, large crowds gathered in front of each display screen, creating a noisy atmosphere!

The entire area, spanning dozens of miles, was infected by this fervent atmosphere, as if the whole region was surging with energy!

In the arena, the host rode a balance bike and quickly arrived on the field to host the event.

"Hello everyone, I will be hosting today's event as usual!"

"As you all know now, His Excellency Miyazaki, the God of Martial Arts, has decided to temporarily change the course of the competition and provide guidance to the martial artists who have come to participate in the competition ahead of schedule!"

The guidance method is through sparring, which helps each martial artist find their own shortcomings. So what we are about to see are all the martial artists who have passed the preliminary rounds, including those who have achieved the top ten rankings!

This is an unprecedented spectacle and a grand event in martial arts, allowing all spectators at the scene and those watching on screens to fully appreciate the pinnacle of martial arts!

The atmosphere at the scene instantly exploded!

Like a volcano erupting with lava, everyone was so excited they could hardly contain themselves!

This is the moment everyone has been waiting for.

People already know how powerful Miyazaki Yu is through previous videos and reports, but that's not enough.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly prove this!

So the British government simply announced a piece of intelligence to guide the war, and it turned into the world-shaking event it is today!

This was intentionally guided by the British government and the royal family, and it was also a kind of progress driven by public opinion. Everyone's curiosity was eager to see what the pinnacle of martial arts really looked like.

Now, their wish is finally about to come true, and everyone is naturally overjoyed.

High protective netting, three layers high, has been erected around the arena. Although it slightly obstructs the view, everyone understands.

Through these days of competition, all the viewers have clearly understood just how terrifying the strength of these martial arts masters is.

More importantly, their power comes from their own hard work and cultivation, not from superpowers or biochemical modifications.

Simply put, right now, in this world, there are three ways to become stronger: one is through personal hard work and cultivation, which is similar to becoming a martial artist; another is through technological body modification, such as becoming a bio-warrior.

However, this is something that most people cannot do, and dare not try, and it goes against human nature.

The last type is the awakened superpower that comes from sheer luck, but this is extremely rare, and there are very few of them in the entire world.

Moreover, according to various rumors, most of the world's superpowered individuals were killed off by this Miyazaki swordsman in the previous battle in America.

Just like the three pathways, the Martial Arts path not only has the lowest threshold but also the highest potential. There is even a truly powerful expert standing there now, which has aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

Some are even predicting that after this round of competitions, there will be a nationwide fitness craze, with all sorts of martial arts and techniques that have been forgotten and revived and practiced.
