Early morning, Tokyo.
Low-rent apartment in Kamiyagawa.
"Ah!" "Hum!"
"Ah!" "Hum!"
The bamboo knife was swung down again and again, making the sound of hunting wind in the air.
This is Kamiyagawa’s daily practice.
From time to time, small droplets of sweat would drip from his cheeks or arms and land on the old wooden floor.
But Kamiya didn't care about this at all.
He just kept his original movements and kept repeating the boring action of slashing.
Coupled with the rhythmic breathing method of "ah" when opening the mouth and "hum" when closing the mouth, the momentum of each air swing is very powerful.
Although in the Kaidan world, you can hang up and gain proficiency in [Nodachi Self-Revelation Style].
But in reality, whenever he has time, Kamiyagawa will practice certain sword swings every day.
After finishing 300 sets of Suzhen, Kamiyakawa stopped using the bamboo knife, raised his aching arms, and wiped the sweat from his cheeks and forehead:
"Not fast enough."
If you find a knowledgeable person to watch this series of works just completed by Kamiyagawa, then the other person will definitely not be stingy with praise and praise for this beautiful boy.
Kamiyagawa's basic swordsmanship skills are too solid.
At his current age, to be able to produce such a set of basic skills must be the result of practicing swordsmanship since he was a child and persisting for more than ten years.
This kid has a promising future!
But Kamiyagawa himself is not satisfied with his current performance.
"Is this the only way cheating can be done?"
By hanging up with Mr. Akaki before, Kamiyagawa has successfully raised the [Nodachi Self-Revealing Style] to another level.
From [Proficient Level] to [Proficient Level].
The experience required for the next upgrade has also changed from the original 1,000 points to an unreachable 10,000 points.
"I originally thought that after mastering the proficient level of [Nodachi Self-evident Style], I would be able to successfully understand the secrets of swordsmanship for promotion, but it still doesn't work."
"Tsk, what went wrong?"
To practice Jisen-ryu, a swordsmanship school, in addition to practicing physical techniques, you also need to master a set of corresponding mental techniques.
The mental method is about how to use the blade to divide time.
The corresponding time units are - "quarter", "minute", "second", "silk", "sudden", "mill", "centi", and the highest level "yunyao".
When he met Hanako's family for the first time, Kamiyagawa suddenly showed his talents, and he realized the three flavors of the self-evident flow of mind like an enlightenment.
He successfully mastered the method of using a blade to divide time into "a trace" (corresponding to the modern 24-hour timing method, which is approximately 0.134 seconds), and also mastered the corresponding secret of sword skills, three-foot strike.
However, this seems to be Kamiyagawa's current limit.
"Divide time into a moment, like silk spun by a silkworm."
Kamiyakawa tipped the bamboo knife in the corner and shook his head helplessly: "The mental formula for the next level is easy to remember, but it is a bit too abstract and metaphysical."
According to the mental method of self-evident flow, using the blade to divide time to "suddenly" is an important watershed stage. After practicing at this point, you officially enter the stage of perceiving thoughts.
To say it is metaphysics is not an exaggeration at all.
Those who can break through this watershed are worthy masters of self-evident swordsmanship.
It takes a unique swordsmanship genius to do it.
After entering the realm where time is divided into "sudden moments", you can master the secret of swordsmanship that is more powerful and faster than the three-foot strike——
Silk beat.
However, reality is always cruel.
The vast majority of swordsmen who practice the Self-Revealing Style, and even many of the world's so-called Masters of the Self-Revealing Style, will never be able to break through the "Sudden" method in their entire lives.
"I feel like there's something missing from mastering silk."
"Are we going to face a desperate situation of life and death again? But let me tell you something, I face a desperate situation of life and death almost every day, whether it's life or death, life or death..."
Kamiyagawa gently pressed his right thumb joint with his upper teeth.
"Or maybe it's just that my physical fitness is not good enough?"
"For example, my constitution point or agility point needs to be higher, and then combined with the techniques and mental skills of the self-evident style, can I hit silk?"
After thinking to no avail, Kamiyagawa went straight to the toilet, took a shower, washed away the smelly sweat, and felt refreshed.
Then he put on his bag and left the house.
Today is the second day since he returned to Tokyo from Inuming.
It's time to head to school and board the game.
In order to open a new map, I didn't push the game progress this weekend, and it seemed like there were ants crawling on me.
…
Logged into the game from the cherry blossom forest of Karin High School.
Then go through the Kamitsu TP to reach the second map, Inuming Pass.
In the field of vision, the dark blocks of color condensed and pieced together, and the colors became thicker and thicker. Finally, everything stabilized, forming an eerie world.
"The dog is barking, I'm here!"
The login point on the second map is the same as the one Kamiyagawa saw last time.
The dark tunnel mouth was open, like the gaping mouth of a giant monster.
Behind him, a deserted road stretched outwards, seemingly leading to places far, far away.
Forward or backward, two directions to explore.
"It is said that the Inuning Tunnel is the passage leading to Inuning Village, so walking into the tunnel should be more dangerous than walking out of the road, right?"
Just as Kamiyagawa was thinking about which direction to explore first, he suddenly felt something crawling up the instep of his right foot and tapping his calf.
This touch is definitely like a living thing!
"leave!"
Kamiyakawa kicked his legs almost subconsciously, turning the unknown object on his right foot into a gorgeous black parabola and flying far away.
At the same time, he quickly pulled out the [bloody hatchet] and looked intently at the point where the thing landed.
"Aba whined..."
At the landing point of the parabola, a human-shaped creature stood up with a groan.
Probably because it fell so hard just now, the thing stood up and swayed for a while before waking up.
The first reaction after waking up was to run all the way, like a strange creature, sprinting to the feet of Kamiya River.
That's right, feet.
This humanoid creature is only about 8 centimeters tall by visual inspection.
In appearance, he does look like a human being, completely naked. Balding, long beard, and wrinkled face, he looks like a little old man.
"The little thing looks quite unique."
Because he felt no threat, Kamiyagawa did not attack the 8 cm tall thing.
Moreover, he seemed to recognize the identity of this little thing.
After hanging out in the "Kaitan Hyakki Fans Exchange" forum for so long, and having bosses like [Murrasco Shang] giving advice from time to time, Kamiyagawa's knowledge of Kaidan theory has also improved.
Little old man.
The name of this thing.
A type of urban ghost story, which basically appears in a harmless and weak image.
The little old man jumped around Kamiyakawa's feet.
"Um, you look like you have something to tell me?"
Kamitani lightly held the hatchet and squatted down.
"Abba!" Seeing that Shengu finally paid attention to him, the little old man jumped up excitedly and waved.
Kamiyagawa:……
What nonsense is this?
As a well-known kaidan in Japan, this little old man is no good. He is far inferior to the highly popular kaidan Mari and Hanako.
The toilet doll and the evil phone spirit can at least speak some understandable human words.
