Originally, after being struck by that sword, Hoshino Yuji flew out, covering a considerable distance, and was not far from the edge of the arena. He rolled on the ground, directly off the platform.
Hoshino igetsu yelled out "Not good!" and leaped up from the stands, rushing towards the arena.
Even though his movents were quick, it was impossible for him to catch Hoshino Yuji in ti.
Hoshino Yuji heavily crashed onto the ground.
When Hoshino igetsu reached the spot, it was already too late, but he at least ensured Hoshino Yuji wouldn't get hard upon landing.
Everyone was extrely shocked; the Family Head of the Hoshino Family had failed. Many were curious whether Hoshino Yuji would be killed.
The Hoshino Family actually had arranged people ahead of ti to wait under the arena, and now many gathered around, lifting Hoshino Yuji and carrying him toward the stands.
At this ti, Kato Taka couldn't select any other outco, and now the result of the match between both sides was a tie – one to one, and the next one would soon be underway.
But how should this round be fought? Everyone had this question in their mind.
The Hoshino Family originally planned for Hoshino Kuri to take the stage, and Hoshino Kuri was already prepared, with outer garnts removed, ready to go on stage at any mont.
As Hoshino Kuri was saying goodbye to a few seniors of the Ittō-ryū, he suddenly saw soone already flying onto the platform, standing at its center.
Everyone paused in astonishnt; the person who reached the platform was Hoshino igetsu.
A prepared Hoshino Kuri was also surprised: "Why did she go up? Such nonsense."
The seniors of Ittō-ryū were equally shocked.
"Why did igetsu go up? This is utter folly. Although her father was injured and her desire for revenge is understandable, now is not the ti for undue recklessness."
"Exactly, this battle concerns the survival of the Hoshino Family. How can it be dealt with so recklessly?"
"Hoshino Kuri, go up and get igetsu down; she cannot be allowed to fight."
Just as Hoshino Kuri was about to ascend, he saw Ling Zhenfei approaching.
Ling Zhenfei appeared slightly weak. He ca to a few people and said, "I think we should let igetsu fight this round."
The Third Elder gave Ling Zhenfei a salute and said, "But igetsu is just a girl; can she manage?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I believe she can. Hoshino igetsu has extraordinary bones, and her current strength has already reached the peak of the Zhiyi Boundary. She might handle the opponent very easily."
"How is that possible? The person Watanabe Family sent is at least a cultivator at the peak of the Zhiyi Boundary. No matter who fights, it's evenly matched, and winning is really difficult."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Indeed, everyone knows the situation is challenging, but since it's equally difficult whoever goes up, let's allow igetsu to try. Her father was just injured; it might inspire a different kind of motivation in her."
"But igetsu is still young, lacking experience," the Third Elder expressed, sowhat helpless.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry; it should be fine. We're hoping for an outco, so let's just see how it unfolds."
At that mont, everyone's eyes turned toward Hoshino igetsu on the arena.
Hoshino igetsu's beauty was unanimously acknowledged; everyone knew among Bin Qi Wu's cultivators, she was one of the few blossoms, leading the group.
When discussing beauty, it's hard to determine who ranks first or second between Hoshino igetsu and Watanabe Hideaki, Hoshino Junka, since appearance is subjective.
So prefer Ozawa Maria while others like Aoi Sora. Who can say who's better or worse? But as a Celestial Maiden, Hoshino igetsu exudes holiness and mystery.
Previously, even if Hoshino igetsu appeared, she was always veiled in white gauze, with no chance for a close glance; besides those in the Hoshino Family, few had seen her true appearance.
But today was different; perhaps due to urgency, Hoshino igetsu didn't wear a veil today, and everyone could openly gaze upon her beauty, deeply impressed.
People from the Watanabe Family were sowhat surprised; they surely speculated a lot, but never anticipated Hoshino igetsu to take the stage in the third round.
Firstly, there was an assumption about her strength being below the peak of the Zhiyi Boundary, and secondly, due to Watanabe igetsu being a woman, and a Celestial Maiden.
Few people considered linking Hoshino igetsu with this battle strength, so there was surprise.
But beyond the surprise was excitent, as people from Watanabe Family felt the difficulty of the battle would significantly reduce.
The stands of Watanabe Family were boiling over, and soon soone flew from their platform.
The person shot from Watanabe Family's platform and landed swiftly on the arena.
Everyone gasped in astonishnt, because flying this far required strength reaching the Dawen Realm.
Everyone looked at this person, filled with surprise, curious to identify them.
Ling Zhenfei's soul had already traveled to the arena and connected with Hoshino igetsu.
Seeing that person fly over from afar, Hoshino igetsu was also surprised.
"Could it be the Dawen Realm!"
If Watanabe Family indeed had soone at the Dawen Realm, then there's no need to fight, just surrender directly.
But Ling Zhenfei quickly saw through it.
"No need to worry, the Northern Spiritual Energy flying beneath that person isn't theirs; soone at the Dawen Realm sent them over."
Ling Zhenfei's words reassured Hoshino igetsu, and upon recognizing the person, she understood.
"Watanabe Taro, it's you."
That person smiled at Hoshino igetsu and said, "Yes, it's ."
Ling Zhenfei curiously asked, "What's this person's deal?"
Hoshino igetsu replied, "That person is quite formidable among the younger generation of the Hoshino Family, known as a teenage genius."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, saying, "Why so many geniuses? But good, I love fighting geniuses."
Hoshino igetsu said, "This person is very strong, famous from a young age, possibly surpassing Watanabe Goryu."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Regardless, we'll fight him and see."
Before Hoshino igetsu could speak, Watanabe Taro interrupted.
"Is there no one in the Hoshino Family, sending a woman to keep up appearances?"
Watanabe Taro was indeed sharp-tongued, and as soon as he arrived, voiced the doubt everyone had in mind.
It's rare for a woman to partake in such a duel.
In the Island Nation, won's status was historically very low, especially in the past.
Though won's status is continuously rising in today's Island Nation, within traditional families, their status is still slightly inferior to n.
Thus, Family Heads of major sects are undoubtedly male, with few female ninjas.
Now, unexpectedly, a woman appeared in the Hoshino Family, naturally surprising many.
Hoshino igetsu seed to have anticipated they would say this.
