"Straight Heart Shadow Stream"

"Teaching the Normal School of Martial Arts"

"Sakakibara Keyyoshi"

"Please give me more advice."

As he said that, the middle-aged man who was confronting Aoto Haruka... Sakakihara Kankichi stabilized the bamboo sword in his hand and assumed a blue-eyed stance.

Sakakihara Kanyoshi—Tani Seiichiro's chief disciple.

Both middle-aged, Sakakihara Kanyoshi is not as out of shape as Chiba Sadakichi.

Judging from the appearance, Sakakibara Kanyoshi's age should be around 37 years old.

All he could see was that the thin kendo uniform clung to his muscular body.

You are already so old, but you can still maintain your figure... This alone is very difficult.

For this person, Qingdeng also had a thunderous ear.

While Otani Seiichiro was serving as the head of the martial arts academy, he built a dojo in Kamizawa in the fifth year of Ansei (1858). At its peak, "the number of princes and officials who came under the sect numbered more than 2,000."

Among these more than 2,000 people, Sakakihara Kankichi was the strongest and most famous, and was hailed as the "Sword Master's Disciple" by his contemporaries.

There is no doubt that he will be one of the strongest people in the martial arts institute!

Qingdeng has always believed that as far as martial artists are concerned, the age group of 30 to 40 is when a person's overall strength is strongest.

People at this age have not yet experienced significant decline in physical fitness.

After a long period of accumulation and precipitation, whether it is proficiency in moves, combat experience or character, it is beyond the reach of a young man of one or twenty years old.

In other words, what he is facing now is the "Sword Master's Disciple" who is at his peak...

As soon as he thought of this, Qingdeng calmed his breathing, set up his bamboo sword, and stood ready.

In an instant, a strong wind struck.

Sakakibara Kankichi swung his sword in with a rainbow-like momentum, and his body rushed to Aoto's eyes like the weight of a mountain.

Qingdeng swung his sword to block his slash, and then made a tentative cassock slash on his body.

Facing the bamboo sword falling straight down, Sakakihara Kanyoshi's body was like a piece of fluttering white paper, blown by the wind pressure from the sword body, and flew leisurely out of Aoto's attack range.

The moves used by Qingdeng are very unique and tricky.

After his bamboo sword hit the air, he flicked his right wrist and retracted the sword's edge like lightning.

This action of sheathing the sword is also an attack move.

Because of its extremely fast speed and particularly tricky attack angle, if 100 people with ordinary skills come to take this move, 100 heads will definitely fall to the ground.

In terms of muscle strength, Sakakibara Kanyoshi is not as good as Aoto.

But his reaction speed and limb agility cannot be underestimated.

If you can't defend yourself, just hide. No matter how powerful the attack is, it's useless - this is the truth in battle.

What happened next happened in the blink of an eye.

Sakakihara Kankichi's figure suddenly disappeared from the center of Aonto's field of vision, and only a vague afterimage could be glimpsed in the peripheral vision below - he leaned down at the speed of a flash, and while dodging the attack, he slid like a shovel

posture, swinging the sword across Qingdeng's calf.

When it comes to reaction speed, there is no reason why Qingdeng, who possesses "Super Speed ​​+ 6", can lag behind others.

Sooner or later, he jumped up like a green onion on a dry land and jumped over the bamboo sword that was sweeping horizontally.

Immediately afterwards, using the acceleration of his fall and the weight of his body, Qingden slashed the bamboo sword held high above his head with all his strength.

Sakakihara Kanyoshi seems to have made up his mind not to compete with Aonto for strength.

Although he could have taken Qingden's slashing attack if he had to defend, he chose to dodge instead.

His retreating steps seemed casual, but the bamboo sword in his hand remained undisturbed.

He faced off against Aonto and never lost... Compared to everyone Aoto had fought against just now, including Noburo Imai and Hideaki Itami, his strength was simply not on the same level!

Qingdeng's feet fell firmly back to the ground.

Sakakihara Kanyoshi planted his feet firmly and stood up straight.

The two faced each other face to face again.

"..."

"..."

Qingdeng brought his right hand holding the sword to his lips and breathed hot air into his palm.

Sakakihara Kankichi twisted his neck, making a tooth-aching sound of joint movement.

There was obviously no prior agreement, but both the two parties involved and Otani Seiichiro and others who were watching the battle all came to the same conclusion: the outcome of this battle will be decided in the next 10 seconds.

Decide within!

"..."

"..."

Snap!

Snap!

What replaced the silence was the sound of kicking the ground at the same time.

At the moment when their figures were about to overlap, two sword shadows flew into the air in no particular order.

Overlapping slashes, staggered figures.

Immediately afterwards, the two black figures jumped away. The two of them opened a gap of more than ten steps in one breath, stopped, turned around and ran towards each other again.

Qingdeng raised the tip of his sword slightly, assuming a Qingyan posture.

Sakakihara Kanyoshi responded with the following structure.

Soon enough, Aoto's bamboo sword turned into a blurry afterimage and headed straight for Sakakihara Kanyoshi's body.

The opponent was about to squat on the ground and raised his bamboo sword.

Both were lightning strikes that were so fast that only afterimages were left.

However... Sakakihara Kankichi's sword speed is slightly behind.

The tip of his sword only grazed Qingdeng's sleeve.

As for Aomori--he was carrying a bamboo sword that still had the feeling of "cutting into human flesh", and made a zanshin gesture behind his opponent.

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Successfully copied talent: "Water Body"]

[Talent introduction: Body coordination is better than ordinary people]

[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]

["Water Body +2" ability promotion - "Water Body +3"]

Sakakihara Kankichi leaned forward, covering his thigh where the sword was hit, and slowly knelt down.

Qingdeng won another victory.

However, the winner's shoulders and chest are currently rising and falling greatly.

It can be seen from this that the battle just now was not so easy.

Before he could catch his breath, the footsteps of the 11th challenger reached his ears from far to near.

Thump, thump, thump, thump...

It was as heavy as the sound of footsteps falling to the ground.

Qingdeng turned back - an incredibly huge figure came into view.

Since traveling to this world, Qingdeng, who has always been much taller than average, has lowered his chin 1, 20 degrees, or even 3, 40 degrees to look at people.

Perhaps because he grew up in the South in his previous life, Qingdeng had never seen anyone taller than 2 meters.

Therefore, it was the first time in two lifetimes that I raised my head 40 degrees to look at someone like this.

"...Qi Chi Wushuang, I've been waiting for you to play for a long time."

Oishi Jin smiled.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Do you still have the strength? Do you need to rest?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I'm in good condition. It won't be a problem to play 10 more games?"

"In that case, let's not waste time and start quickly!"

After saying that, Oishi Jin put down the giant bamboo sword on his shoulder.

His bamboo sword is even more exaggerated than Hideaki Itami's bamboo sword.
