School kendo venue.
"It feels like I haven't been here for a long time."
Kamiya swaggered into it. Gone were the days when he had to work hard to practice fencing through parkour.
Teacher Chigui is still the same as before, with a ferocious face and bulging muscles. He is sitting upright in the center of the venue, with a slender sword placed beside him.
"Hi, Master, I'm here." Kamiya greeted him like this, and then continued to talk like a show off, "Let me tell you, your disciple, I am successful now, and I can now use the second stage of the advanced secret of the self-evident flow... …”
"Second section... mysteries..."
Chi Gui, who was kneeling in the center of the arena, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at his disciple with his bell-sized eyes, and then used his thick arms to push the sword out of his side.
"Oh?" Kamiya was about to say something, but was interrupted by Chi Gui's action.
The teacher is a little unusual today.
In the past, I had only done one thing, practicing swordsmanship.
Today, I didn’t mention it.
"Exerting mysteries... Let me see..."
When Chi Gui spoke, his voice was heavy and hoarse, like a broken drum that could barely be beaten.
"It seems that because I have mastered Silk Beating, something new happened here with Teacher Chigui." Kamiya guessed this with a smile on his face.
He had encountered similar things before with the candle-making monk and Suzuyan Ji.
Kamiyakawa bent down and picked up the slender sword from the ground.
The moment he picked up the sword, he felt the "Ichimonji" pattern on the handle.
"Is this Ichimonji?" Kamiya was slightly surprised.
He held the sword in front of his eyes and looked at the blade intently. In the past, Akagi always hid this sword, so this was the first time for Kamiyagawa to observe this sword so clearly.
I saw this Yiji, with a long, narrow and gorgeous blade, with ripples and a slight arc. You can feel the complex and profound changes in the blade pattern by waving it gently.
The blade gradually narrows from wide to thin, bright and clear, shrouded in a shimmer of indigo color.
"What a handsome sword." Kamiya was looking at the words in his hand, and he admired it in his heart.
"Exerting mysteries... Let me see..."
Perhaps Kamiya had been in a daze for too long, so Teacher Chigui urged him again.
"Oh. Then take a look at it, Master."
Kamiyakawa holds the handle of the sword with both hands. The blade of this Ichimonji blade is extremely long and cannot be seen in Akuki's hand, but this feature is clearly reflected when Kamiya holds the sword.
Raise the sword above your head.
Use the breath of Ah Hum to regulate your breathing rhythm.
"Split time into a moment..."
Kamiya's vision began to change, as if he had entered "bullet time", and the flow of time seemed to become extremely slow in his eyes.
At the same time, soft crystal threads appeared on the surface of everything in the field of vision, pulling and rising.
"Like silkworms spinning silk!"
The Kamiya River moved, and the moment he started moving, the passage of time in his field of vision returned to normal.
Yiwen slashed from top to bottom, turning into a flash of indigo cold light!
All "time as thin as silk" was cut off.
The silk fell down with one blow, and there was a roaring sound wherever the blade passed. The shattered air turned into two air currents and the wind pressure increased.
Kamiyagawa, who was holding a sword and performing skills, thrust forward all the way.
He turned his back to Teacher Chigui, straightened his back, and sheathed his sword handsomely without looking back.
The light in the kendo hall was dim, and the sun was rising dimly outside the window.
Snap, snap, snap.
Three to five seconds later.
There was heavy applause from behind.
Tachi Aki recognized his apprentice's superb swordsmanship: "Silk Strike... The sword is extraordinary... I have nothing more to teach you."
"Huh?" Kamiya turned around.
What's the meaning?
Have you become a disciple?
However, it seems that it is not incomprehensible.
The secret of the sword skill, Silk Fighting, is the dividing line between ordinary sword skills and extraordinary sword skills in [Nodachi Self-evident Style].
A normal person can only attack with a slash of three feet at most.
And being able to use silk to beat, you can "see" those "times as thin as silk" connected to everything.
It means that swordsmanship has exceeded the limits of human beings and has entered a realm that cannot be explained by science and common sense.
It is reasonable to start a swordsmanship after reaching the extraordinary level.
Akagui continued to speak, his voice hoarse, with a sense of relief: "Send the sword... to Mito for me... to the Kuromiya Sword Dojo..."
As he spoke, he took out a dark-colored pointed cone-shaped stone from his arms and placed it on the ground.
"Take...this..." Chi Gui pushed out the dull stone.
Buzz.
Kamiyagawa's phone vibrated.
[The red ghost from Hualing School has issued a limited-time commission to you. There is a successor! ]
[Akauki hopes that you will take the Nansen Ichimonji Taitō in your hand and go to the Kuromiya Sword Dojo in Mito. ]
[This commission is a time-limited task, please complete it within the specified time. The time limit set by Akki for completion is eighty years. ]
Kamiya looked at the text message on his phone and raised his eyebrows: "A limited-time commission, eighty years, okay?"
He glanced at Teacher Chigui again, who just nodded to him, and then sat quietly in the middle of the venue without moving.
"Akaki-sensei actually meant to lend me this Ichimonji, right? Then, the condition is that I only need to take the tachi to the Kuromiya Kendo Hall in Mito within the eighty-year period."
Kamiya speculated so.
Isn't this the same as giving it for free?
The teacher is so gentle, I cried to death.
In this way, this Nanquan Yizi is a bit like the apprenticeship ceremony given by Chi Gui to his apprentice.
Moreover, Kamiya also saw a detail in the mission text.
"It only told me to take the sword to the Black Palace Sword Dojo, but it didn't say whether I needed to hand over the sword."
After accepting a time-limited mission with a time limit of eighty years, the phone vibrated again.
[Get Nanquan Yiwen! ]
[Item name: Nansen Ichimonji]
[Quality: Super epic]
[Effect: None (can add war gray effect)]
[Explanation: One word, one day, one earth, one blade, one morning and dusk. This is a famous sword cast in Nanquan Temple. Its blade has a clear green light and cuts iron like clay. ]
In addition to Ichimonji's message, there is also a message about the stone that Akuki took out later——
[Get the matte forging stone! ]
[Matte Forging Stone (rare material): A strange stone produced in a deep mine. It is a necessary material for adding war ashes to weapons. ]
"Forge stone?"
Kamiya picked up the dull stone on the ground and weighed it in his hand.
He remembered that the [Blooded Hatchet] sacrificed for the War Dog God, although it was an excellent weapon, had a built-in effect, [Kidney Strike].
When stabbing a humanoid monster in the waist, there is extra damage.
"The quality of this Ichimonji is extremely high, reaching a super epic level. However, in terms of effects, it is a blank slate. According to the meaning of the system information, you have to find the so-called 'war ashes' and forge stones to add special effects to Ichimonji. "
Kamiya digested the newly acquired information in his heart.
"However, as far as the current situation is concerned, one word on the whiteboard is enough for me."
He put away the tachi handed over by Akki, said "Thank you, master" seriously, and walked out of the kendo hall with ease.
