Zhou Sen's strategy is to defend. Although he has made rapid progress in kendo (Japanese kendo is nothing like shit), time is still short after all. It is easy to say that his opponent has been here for ten years and he has been practicing since he was a child. .
Keep and consume!
Zhou Sen will be able to benefit the invincible position.
In the process of defending, he looked for opportunities to take action, but Zuotou obviously did not intend to give him this opportunity, and his offensive was like a gust of wind and rain.
He wanted to defeat Zhou Sen with an absolute advantage, but Zhou Sen could only be forced to wander around the court, desperately protecting his vital position.
In the eyes of everyone watching the battle, Zhou Sen is like a small boat in the sea, in danger of capsizing at any time under the attack of huge waves.
However, an expert knows that although Zhou Sen is in great danger, it is not that easy for Sato to defeat him.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Sato knew very well that if he could not defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, it would be difficult for him to win easily later.
He knew Zhou Sen's endurance well.
Moreover, his physical consumption is much higher than that of the opponent. He is the attacker, and the offensive team's physical strength must be at least 30% greater than that of the defensive team.
The longer time went on, the more depressed he became.
We can only take risks.
Zuo Teng deliberately exposed a flaw, trying to lure Zhou Sen to attack, but Zhou Sen actually turned a blind eye and continued to defend.
Zhou Sen is not stupid. When the offensive power has not weakened, if such a flaw suddenly appears, it must be to lure him to attack.
Is he that stupid?
At least you have to pretend to be a little exhausted, and then reveal a flaw. Such a blunt trap is okay to deceive a fool, but it is not okay to deceive him.
Seeing that Zhou Sen was not fooled, Zuoteng gritted his teeth and once again brandished his bamboo sword and attacked.
despair!
The bamboo knives intersected, making a continuous sound.
Zuotou's strength was so strong that Zhou Sen's jaw went numb and he retreated repeatedly.
This guy really wanted to win and he wanted to go crazy. Zhou Sen gritted his teeth and persisted, while waving his bamboo sword to block.
Card!
A subtle sound passed into Zhou Sen's ears, and his bamboo sword (sword) was overwhelmed.
Zhou Sen's mastery of bamboo swords is much worse than Zuotou. He has practiced with bamboo swords since he was a child, and he knows the stress points on bamboo swords very well.
But Zhou Sen didn't have time to think about this. In those few blows just now, Zuotou had calculated almost every blow.
Sure enough, when Zhou Sen heard the sound from the bamboo knife in his hand, he saw a glimmer of pride flash in Zuo Teng's eyes.
If the bamboo sword in Zhou Sen's hand is broken again, he will lose this competition. At the beginning, it was Zuotou's foul. He can change to another bamboo sword, but now, it doesn't matter.
At the critical moment, the jujitsu that Zhou Sen had practiced for many years finally came into use. His body was at an incredible angle to avoid Zuotou's sharp blow, and the bamboo knife in his hand stabbed his chest.
After the stabbing!
Zhou Sen himself also fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
Everyone was stunned.
Because of the blow just now, no one could see clearly what happened, how Zuotou missed the blow, and how Zhou Sen hit Zuotou's chest, leaving a clear white spot on his chest. of.
If this blow had been made with a real sword, Sato would definitely have died from it.
It’s clear who wins and who loses.
Zuotou looked defeated. He lowered his head in disbelief and saw the white spots on his chest. He knew that he had lost.
Zhou Sen gasped for air.
He had a narrow victory.
There was an element of luck involved. The movement just now exceeded the limits of the human body. If I tried it again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do that movement.
He himself was confused.
"Young master won the swordsmanship assessment competition. Does anyone have any objections?" Yamagata Kima stood up, looked around at everyone, and announced.
Shibuya Saburo naturally smiled without any objections, while Yamamoto Toshi had a sad face, as if he was having trouble taking a test.
He couldn't accept that Sato, who had high expectations for him, actually lost to a newcomer who had only just learned kendo.
However, this is the case. Didn’t Sato try his best? As for the offensive just now, he asked himself that he might not be able to sustain it for long.
Lost this one.
All that's left is direct confrontation, without any protective gear, punching to the flesh.
"It's getting late today. After a day of assessment, how about leaving the last free fighting assessment tomorrow?" Yamamoto Toshi suddenly suggested.
It was okay for Yamagata to ask for a horse. He was not in a hurry, but Shibuya Saburo was not sure, so he asked: "Shibuya-kun, what do you mean?"
"They are all exhausted now. If we fight now, they will not be able to show their true strength. Let's do it tomorrow." Shibuya Saburo said. If we compare now, Zuo Teng will definitely recover faster than Zhou Sen.
This is not good for Zhou Sen, and Zhou Sen calculated that he lost the last one and is now firmly ranked first. It can be said that as long as Zhou Sen does not finish at the bottom tomorrow, he will not be able to take the first place in this special training. .
There is no need to compete with Sato at this time.
Of course Zhou Sen has no objection. His arms are numb now, his legs feel like they have been filled with lead water, and he can't stand firmly. Even if he is given an hour or two to rest, he may not be able to recover.
It would be best if I could take a night's rest.
Return to your residence.
"Assassin" Zuo Teng had already packed up and left. It was obvious that he did not plan to stay with everyone this night.
I wasn’t a traveler in the first place, so it’s okay to leave.
We all know the rest of the people, so we feel more comfortable.
"Zhou Sen, Chief Shibuya, please come over." Not long after he sat down, Shibuya Saburo's adjutant Ono knocked on the door and called Zhou Sen out.
"Yes, Lieutenant Ono."
Ono took Zhou Sen to the room where Shibuya Saburo was staying, and happened to see Sato and Yamamoto Satoshi coming out of the room. He quickly stood aside and lowered his head slightly.
"Hello, Director Yamamoto."
This is a rule set by the puppet Manchukuo state. Whenever a Manchurian sees a Japanese, they must take off their hats, bow and give way.
Seeing that he couldn't find Zhou Sen's fault, Yamamoto Toshi snorted coldly and walked past him. Zuotou, on the other hand, had murderous eyes in his eyes: "I won't be merciful in tomorrow's free fight. Just wait to die."
Zhou Sen narrowed his eyes. Was Zuo Teng planning to kill him directly in tomorrow's free fighting assessment?
With this guy's crazy energy, it's really possible to do it.
Once he is seriously injured or killed in the competition, for the sake of the mission, no matter how big a mistake Zuotou makes, he can only tolerate it. Otherwise, who is suitable to complete this mission?
This guy is confident.
Ono led Zhou Sen into Shibuya Saburo's room. It was actually smaller than the room they lived in, but it was a single room with a bed, a desk, and other similar furnishings. Of course, the conditions were definitely better.
Saburo Shibuya took a bath and changed into a loose kimono. With a smile on his lean face, he warmly invited Zhou Sen to sit down and make tea himself.
"Please drink tea. This was given to me by a friend of mine. It is said to be Longjing tea from Mingqian Dynasty. You can try it."
"Thank you, Chief Shibuya."
"Call me teacher. I told Su Wenqing in front of him that you are my student. If you don't call me that, he will still be suspicious." Shibuya Saburo smiled slightly.
"Yes, Teacher Shibuya." Zhou Sen couldn't refuse, even though he knew that it would be a lot of convenience for him now to recognize this cheap teacher, but it would definitely be troublesome in the future.
"That's right. What do you think of tomorrow's free fighting competition?" Shibuya Saburo sat up straight and asked.
"The five of them have their own characteristics. I have fought against them all in daily training. If it is just a martial arts competition, the outcome is not a matter of course." Zhou Sen said.
"What if it's a life-and-death fight?"
"Then it's hard to predict." Zhou Sen shook his head. In a martial arts competition, everyone will have reservations unless they make a deadly move.
"Tomorrow, you have to be careful. If you can't draw Zuotou in the lottery, that's it. If you get Zuotou, he may kill you!"
"Actually, I don't want to compete for the first place..." Zhou Sen's heart trembled. He had also considered this, and he was not stupid.
Zuo Teng didn't want to have to bear the humiliation of his crotch. He only had this chance to kill himself in tomorrow's free fighting assessment.
As long as he dies, he won't have to put up a sign or get into his pants, and if he kills him, he won't be punished.
Anyway, it was just a Manchu (Chinese) person who died. Who cares? Even if Saburo Shibuya was dissatisfied, he could still kill Sato and avenge him?
impossible!
Since someone is willing to do their own work, why do they have to involve themselves? But he couldn't say this in front of Shibuya Saburo.
"Can you win against Sato?"
"Fifty-five, if he doesn't retain his strength, I have a chance to win, but in terms of winning chances, he is better than me." Zhou Sen said matter-of-factly.
"Is your chest injury healed?" Shibuya Saburo nodded.
"It's almost there. I still feel a little uncomfortable occasionally, especially when it's windy or rainy," Zhou Sen said.
These words were naturally false, and there was no way he could tell Shibuya Saburo the truth.
"Sato will definitely take action on the injury on your left chest tomorrow." Shibuya Saburo said firmly.
"Shibuya...how does the teacher know?" Zhou Sen originally wanted to call him "sir", but he was quick to think and immediately changed it to "teacher".
"Toshi Yamamoto went to the Matsuyama Surgical Hospital where you took the film, and after checking the film you took, it was found that the third rib on your left chest was fractured. According to the saying that it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, although you can move freely due to your injury, But once the fractured bone is subjected to a huge force, it will definitely cause more injuries!" Shibuya Saburo said, "He will definitely tell Sato about your weakness, and then during the competition, he will specifically hit your left chest. , the old injury relapsed in the end, and whether you were seriously injured or dead, he had an excuse to get away with it."
Zhou Sen's face changed drastically. Shibuya Saburo was right. He was injured here. Judging from the normal situation, it was still in the process of healing. If he was hit hard again, serious injury and death were possible. , but as long as you are injured, it is another situation if you are not injured. Whether it is serious injury or death, all the reasons will be attributed to Sato.
It would be very simple for Sato to escape guilt, not to mention that there is Toshi Yamamoto behind him.
"I brought you something that should be able to help you." Shibuya Saburo chuckled, stood up and went over to get a red silk bag.
This looks so familiar. Isn't it the baggage for the breastplate that Bai Yulan gave him?
Isn't that the breast mirror inside?
Zhou Sen reached out to take it and opened it. Sure enough, it was the breast shield, and the bullet hole on it had been repaired.
"Teacher Shibuya, will it be a violation for wearing protective gear?"
"Is this your protective gear?" Saburo Shibuya picked up the tea cup and asked with a smile.
Zhou Sen still doesn’t understand.
This is an accessory, not a protective gear!
