If Qingteng had just taken a real knife, Wada's chest must have been completely cut open by now, and all the organs in the chest had been chopped to pieces. Wada, who had suffered such severe injuries to his chest, could only lie like a dead dog. On the ground, there is more air coming in and less air coming out, and you can go to see Amaterasu in just a moment.
He actually couldn't even catch Qingteng's sword, and was instantly killed by Qingteng's sword... Wada felt that his body and heart were surrounded by a huge sense of humiliation, grief and anger.
Wada is a very typical person who feels very proud of his title of "Swordsman of the Little Chiba Sword Hall".
Successfully passed the entrance examination of the Little Chiba Sword Hall and became a member of the Little Chiba Sword Hall. After the hard training, he was successfully promoted to the second field where only apprentices with a certain level can freely enter and exit - this is Wada's success in His proudest achievement in his life so far.
He originally thought that as a top student at the Little Chiba Sword Hall, even if he was not Qingto's opponent, he should still be able to have a fierce exchange of blows with Qingto.
He never imagined that he didn't even have the ability to block Qingdeng's move...
His self-esteem was hit, and the gap between reality and imagination was too big... The grief, anger and humiliation in his heart tortured Wada.
At this moment, Wada really wanted to yell "One more fight!" to Qingto and wash away the shame with a new battle.
But no matter how his lips moved and his mouth opened and closed, he could not successfully say the phrase "One more time."
This is not because Wada is afraid that after shouting these words, people will despise him as a clown who cannot afford to lose.
It's because even if he fights Qingto again, Wada can't guarantee that he can do better than the last time...
Qingteng's swift sword just now... made Wada feel terrified every time he recalled it.
If Tachibana Aoden attacks him again with the same sword speed just now, will he be able to resist it?
Wada never gave himself an optimistic answer...
Unable to muster up the confidence to fight Qingden again, Wada gritted his teeth, stood up slowly, drooped his head like a defeated rooster, and left the stage in disgrace, full of reluctance, shock, grief and anger.
Off the field, the members of the "Zanako Pursuit Army" looked at each other in confusion.
Emotions of surprise and fear were written on their faces.
Wada, who was responsible for spearheading the battle, was defeated so miserably... Such a bad start made them suddenly realize: This hateful Tachibana Aoden seemed to be much more powerful than they expected...
Although Wada is not the most powerful among them, he is still an apprentice who can practice swordsmanship in the second field of the Little Chiba Sword Hall.
Such Wada was killed by Qingden in just one encounter...
At this time, a strong man with fair skin stood up with a stern face and walked slowly out of the "auditorium".
"I'm Taniguchi Ichiro, Mr. Tachibana, I'd like to ask you for some advice. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
There is actually another person who wants to challenge Qingdeng...
Most of the people in the "auditorium", led by Shannan, were not members of the "Sanako Suitors Army".
For Shannan Keisuke and others, they just find it quite strange: Why do so many people suddenly want to challenge Qingdeng?
"..." Sanako, who was standing side by side with Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro, pursed her red lips slightly at this moment.
She looked thoughtfully at Taniguchi, who came out after Wada... with an unpredictable expression.
Qingden glanced at Taniguchi: "Please enlighten me!"
Taniguchi nodded to Aoden, then picked up the bamboo sword and his protective mask that were resting on his side, strode into the dojo, and stood opposite Aoto.
The apprentices in Field B were already in their rest time, and none of them had taken off their protective gear.
Therefore, everyone only needs to wear a mask and hold a bamboo sword to compete.
Looking at Taniguchi who was now standing opposite Yu Qingto, many people in the "Sanako Pursuit Army" breathed a sigh of relief.
Taniguchi's swordsmanship is far superior to Wada.
In terms of overall strength, Taniguchi can be ranked in the middle or upper reaches of the Chiba Sword Hall.
The strong Taniguchi went into battle... This calmed down their minds that were panicked after witnessing the tragic defeat of Wada.
Someone else asked Qingteng for a sparring match, and Qingteng readily agreed... No one had the qualifications or ability to stop this kind of competition in which swordsmen from both sides "like each other".
Respecting the wishes of both parties and providing the best conditions for the competition is the true gift of a warrior.
Chiba Jutaro, who was well aware of this, returned to the dojo as a referee with a serious look on his face, and once again stood between Aonto and the challenger.
"Salute...begin!"
"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!"
Compared with Wada, Taniguchi's style of play is obviously much more aggressive and violent.
As soon as Chiba Jutaro shouted "Start", Taniguchi stepped close to Aoto, and then while issuing a shocking kiai, he quickly stabbed Aoto's chest with a knife.
Qingdeng looked at the oncoming sword with a calm expression, without any nervousness. He stood half a step to the left and easily averted the danger.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!"
It can be heard that Taniguchi is the kind of person who is quite noisy during battles.
Taniguchi let out another qiai sound with a voice that seemed to break his throat, pulled back the sword that was thrust into the air, and then struck out sharply again, launching a new attack on Qingden.
Taniguchi is in pretty good shape today.
He is a veteran among Sanako's many suitors.
He has been secretly in love with Sanako for 8 years, and has always liked her when Sanako was only a 14-year-old girl.
He was very courageous and thick-skinned. In the past 8 years, he had openly and crazily expressed love and pursued Sanako... and then he was bruised all over his body in front of Sanako's impenetrable heart.
I have been secretly in love with the eldest lady for 8 years. How long have you known the eldest lady? Why is your relationship with the eldest lady so good? !
The strong jealousy made every sword swing by Taniguchi at this time extremely powerful! It looks horrifying!
The blade of the bamboo sword was pulled out one after another under his rapid swing.
Taniguchi was best at attacking and not good at defending. Adopting the strategy of "exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses", he launched a fierce attack on Qingto without interruption.
Cut horizontally, chop downward, tease upward...
Cut off hands, attack feet, take the vital points...
Taniguchi put all his strength into this battle that he did not want to lose no matter what.
Facing the aggressive Taniguchi, Seito was not in a hurry to immediately launch a counterattack.
Although it seemed a bit arrogant to say this... But when Taniguchi drew closer and struck him with the first knife, Qingden had already concluded that this person was not his opponent.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Taniguchi's speed was simply astonishing in that he could swing the bamboo sword until only the afterimages that were difficult to see were left.
But for Aonto, who has "Gathering God" and "Eagle Eyes", whether Taniguchi is moving his body or wielding his bamboo sword...his series of actions are all the same as those in slow-motion old movies.
Since all the opponent's moves have been seen through, there is no reason why he will lose.
Facing the menacing swords aimed at his face, neck, chest, waist and abdomen, Qingden could only dodge briskly and flexibly while counting down in his mind the 10 seconds necessary to copy his talent.
The figure that sometimes moves sideways and sometimes rotates is like the shadow of the moon shaking on the water, which is elusive.
Seito fully learned from the experience and lessons learned from the previous swordsmanship competition between Aizu Hou - against someone who is obviously weaker than him, he has to wait for 10 seconds before taking action.
If you accidentally kill them instantly and fail to fight for 10 seconds, you will not be able to copy the talent.
——13……14……15……
Qingdeng still gained 5 seconds.
Counting to 15 seconds silently in his mind, Qingteng also happened to have a rough idea of Taniguchi's sword path.
The "Sword Talent" that has been upgraded to "the increase in swordsmanship talent is 70 times the average level of ordinary people" has brought Qingden not only the extremely fast speed of learning swords.
What it brings to Qingdeng is also a very high sword fighting IQ.
After dodging another sword thrust from Taniguchi, Qingden began to switch from defense to offense!
With lightning speed, he switched his sword-holding posture from the middle to the upper position, and took the Tianling Gai at the mouth of the valley from the upper right path.
In terms of strength, Taniguchi is indeed above Wada.
The speed of Qingden's slash was basically the same as the speed of the blow he had just killed Wada instantly.
Wada could not keep up with such sword speed, but Taniguchi did.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Taniguchi raised the bamboo sword in his hand high, trying to ward off Qingden's blow.
However... the shock and numbness caused by the heavy blows of the bamboo swords were not transmitted to his palms as Taniguchi expected.
Because at almost the same moment when he raised his sword to defend... Qingden changed his moves!
Qingdeng injected a "soft" force into his waist and elbows.
This gentle force caused the trajectory of the sword in the palm to deflect to a great extent.
Qingdeng's change of move made many onlookers outside the venue express admiration or shock.
Anyone who has some attainments in swordsmanship can see how much delicate skills Qingdeng actually contains in this seemingly ordinary change of moves.
The sword's trajectory suddenly changed, bypassing Taniguchi's raised bamboo sword for defense, and hit Taniguchi's left neck.
Chiba Jutaro, who had been keeping a close eye on Aoto and Taniguchi's every move as a referee, saw this and immediately raised his hands and shouted:
"That's it!"
"Winner: Tachibana Aoden!"
Taniguchi maintained the posture of holding the sword high, standing there stupidly.
He looked at Chiba Jutaro who announced Aoto's victory, and then looked at the place where he had just been stabbed.
A few seconds ago, he was still launching a fierce offensive against Qingdeng.
After only a few seconds, he was defeated...
Taniguchi's head couldn't turn around for a while.
He encountered the same situation as Wada - it was difficult to accept the dismal result of his instant defeat.
But it's useless no matter how much he doesn't want to accept such a result.
Chiba Jutaro's verdict was not wrong.
A knife in the neck... In a real sword duel, this is a fatal injury.
Ever since, this scene happened again in this dojo - Qingdeng's challenger lowered his head in annoyance with a face full of unwillingness, put down his bamboo sword sadly, and retreated to the edge of the dojo,
At this time, Qingden still didn't hear the system sound in his mind that he had been looking forward to hearing since he decided to start a head-on confrontation with these guys who wanted to cause trouble for him...
After Wada, even Taniguchi suffered a disastrous defeat...
The "Zanako Pursuit Army" suffered two disastrous defeats in a row, and their expressions suddenly changed again without exception.
This time, there was no Taniguchi who couldn't wait to play immediately after Wada's defeat as before.
After several seconds, a slightly fat man pulled out a bamboo sword from the sword barrel next to him.
"I am Katsuya Katsukuro."
"I also want to compete with you, what do you think?"
Violent ups and downs like riding a roller coaster - this sentence is a perfect way to describe the mood of the "Zanako Pursuers Army" at this time.
Hisaya is one of the strongest among them, and he is expected to receive the Hojo Kaiden from Chiba Sadaichi within this year!
As one of their "aces", Hisaya was about to take action... This gave them some peace of mind.
"Please advise!" Qingden nodded gently to Kumi.
…
…
"Hello? What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"There seems to be a good show to watch in Field B!"
"A good show? What a good show?"
"The people in Field B are taking turns challenging that Tachibana Aoto who has been frequenting our sword hall recently!"
"Tachibana Aoden? That 'Nioh'?"
"Let's go and join in the fun."
…
The movement in Field B spread to Field C like the wind.
Field C is a dedicated dojo for male apprentices whose strength needs to be strengthened, as well as all female apprentices.
After hearing that there seemed to be something lively to see in Court B, the apprentices of Court C rushed to Court B in a hurry, fearing that there would be no excitement to see if they arrived late.
With the arrival of the apprentices in Court C, Court B became more noisy and lively with many more spectators.
These apprentices from Field C who came to Field B as soon as possible came at the right time - they were very lucky to witness how Aomori beautifully knocked Kyuya away.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The bamboo sword in Qingto's hand seemed to turn into three swords, slashing at Kuya's head, chest, and shoulders from different directions.
Jiuya took the three blows from Aoden with great difficulty.
Although he made a successful defense... in order to block Qingden's three swords, Kuya accidentally raised his arms and the bamboo sword in his palm too high, and the door of his body was wide open.
This fleeting flaw was clearly reflected in Qingdeng's eyes.
Qingteng took his sights and took a step forward, rushing straight towards Kyuya's side. When he was about to miss Kyuya, he slashed with his sword without hesitation.
The blade of the bamboo sword, from the guard to the tip of the sword, completely scratched Kuya's side.
The explosive power of the legs brought about by "taking the lead", and the explosive power of the waist brought by the "bear's waist"... The superposition of the two forces makes Qingdeng's chop extremely powerful.
Jiuya was directly knocked away.
He flew backwards for 3 or 4 steps before landing.
Many people who were standing at the edge of the dojo to watch the fight...especially those Bingchang apprentices who came to join in the fun were shocked by the power of Qingden's attack.
They couldn't help but imagine: What would it be like if Qingteng held a real sword instead of a bamboo sword?
His entire upper body would have been chopped off...
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shrink their necks in fear.

——Ooh... I finally copied a useful talent.
Qingden grinned.
Kuya, who had high hopes, also lost...but the people of the "Sanako Pursuit Army" still don't want to give up just like that!
Soon, another person showed a determined expression as if he was ready to die, and stood up with a "whoop" sound.
"I am Natsu Morishita!"
…
This young man named Morishita Natsushi has thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and looks very energetic.
Not only does he look very energetic, but his voice is also very energetic.
The sound is like a loud bell, and the Qi combination is loud and bright.
"Drink, drink, ah, ah, ah!"
Morishita mustered up the courage to rush forward and tried to attack Qingteng, but when he raised his sword, Qingteng had already disappeared from him.
"What?!"
Morishita looked in shock at Aomori who jumped to his upper left and into the blind spot of his attack.
Qingden used the acceleration of gravity when he landed to slash down the bamboo sword raised above his head, hitting Morishita hard on the top of his head, which was protected by a mask.
【Ding! Scan to talent]
[Successfully copied talent: "Golden Voice"]
[Talent introduction: Vocal cords are not easily strained. 】
--vocal cord?
Qingden was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with a bitter smile on his face.
Although the talent was successfully copied...but this new talent doesn't seem to be of much use.
——Forget it.
Qingdeng thought to himself.
——Getting new talents is always a good thing. It’s better than nothing.
——The vocal cords are not easily strained... This talent is not completely useless.
…
"Hey, Nioh, how many people has he defeated already?"
"Already defeated 3 people!"
"You counted wrong! He has already defeated 4 people!"
"Too strong! Pick 4 people in a row, win 4 out of 4 fights!"
"Why do you call Tachibana-kun 'Nioh'?"
"Huh? Don't you know Tachibana-kun's nickname?"
…
"In Shimodamura Kotaro!"
…
"Ah, ah ah...!"
Tamura screamed in horror.
No wonder he screamed so ugly.
Qingdeng, who was standing 6 steps in front of him, jumped high with the strong leg power brought by "taking the lead" and "bear's waist". He flew out like a cannonball and eliminated the bait in one breath. Tamura's spacing.
Qingden quickly swung his sword and struck Tamura's chest with three consecutive slashes. All three slashes hit the target firmly.
Tamura, who was stabbed three times in the chest in an instant, could not escape the fate of "flying". Although he managed to regain his footing, the balls of his feet still left the floor.
Tamura, who is shorter in stature and lighter in weight, broke the previous record of Hisa who was knocked out - he flew backwards 5 steps before landing in a parabola.
After landing, his body continued to slide backwards against the floor. It wasn't until he crashed into the "auditorium" that his body finally stopped retreating.
…
"I am Soichiro Hirata!"
…
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Hirata, who is good at sword speed, shouted loudly, used all his strength, and danced the sword in his palm like a wheel, creating blurry afterimages, trying to subdue Qingden with the light curtain composed of the afterimages of the sword.
Qingden's eyes moved up and down, and he roughly glanced at Hirata's sword path.
In an instant, Qingdeng pushed his feet firmly on the ground, exerted force, and jumped up!
Qingdeng kicked his legs violently, and the force was transmitted from his feet to his waist, and then from his waist to his arms. The bamboo sword in his palm bounced up from bottom to top like a spring.
The tip of the loaded sword accurately intercepted Hirata's bamboo sword in mid-air!
Like a strong wind dispersing mist.
With a loud "pop", Hirata's "light curtain" composed of the afterimage of the sword disappeared!
Qingden broke through Hirata's "light curtain" with just one blow and knocked Hirata's bamboo sword away!

"Hey, let me help you, why did Nioh's opponent change? How many people has Nioh defeated now?"
"Already 6!"
"Too strong! Won 6 out of 6 fights! And you see, after so many fights, Mr. Tachibana still seems to have plenty of energy. His face is not red and he is not out of breath!"
"Of course he has enough physical strength! No one can make Nioh get into a tough battle!"
"The people who just came up to compete with Mr. Tachibana are all swordsmen practicing in the second field, right? These people who are qualified to practice swordsmanship in the second field were actually defeated by Mr. Tachibana..."
"It's so powerful. If we, who are not even qualified to come to the Second Field to practice sword fighting, face off against Nioh... wouldn't it mean that we wouldn't even be able to take one of Nioh's moves...?"
…
"That's right Katayama Eikichi! Please give me some advice!"
…
The bamboo swords of Qingden and Katayama were entangled in the air.
When they separated, Katayama's steps slipped, trying to distance himself from Aoto.
But at this time, Qingden's bamboo sword slashed down diagonally from above. Katayama reluctantly tried to catch the sword, but failed to catch it. Katayama's body suddenly lost balance due to the unstable center of gravity.
Taking advantage of this precious opportunity before Katayama could regroup, Aoto handed the bamboo sword to his left hand, freed his right hand to restrain Katayama's right wrist, used grappling skills to snatch Katayama's bamboo sword and put Katayama down. land.
The action of grabbing the knife with bare hands and slamming the opponent to the ground was smooth and smooth. It was both powerful and entertaining, and attracted many onlookers to scream and cheer.
…
"Tsk! Damn it! I'm coming! I'm Seisaburo Fujii!"
…
Fujii shouted suddenly, and compared with his strong physique, the bamboo sword, which seemed very short, made a slight sound with a "shoo" and swept towards the place where Qingden was standing.
The angle of the sword is perfect, the landing point is quite correct, and the force is quite sufficient... but it may not hit the opponent.
The speed of Qingden's sidestep movement was far faster and more accurate than the speed of Fujii's swing of the bamboo sword!
Fujii, who is physically strong, does not lack the power of slashing, but he lacks the agility to swing the sword at high speed.
Aoto's dodge speed has already overwhelmed Fujii, like a cow running down a well. But what makes Fujii even more troublesome is Aoto's slashing speed, which is faster than his dodge speed!
"Drink ah ah ah!"
As if he wanted to break the ceiling above his head, Fujii let out a powerful roar, cut through the air with the bamboo sword he was most proud of, and approached Aito's face from the top.
The moment Fujii once again struck Aoto with a sharp chop, Aoto also drew his sword!
Aomori took a mid-level stance and aimed a slash across Fujii's chest.
The two bamboo swords slashed at each other almost at the same time!
Aoto's timing to draw his sword was a split second later than Fujii's, but Aoto's attack came later!
His bamboo sword hit Fujii's chest first, knocking Fujii to the ground.

…
Chiba Jutaro, who had received too many shocks from Aoto, already knew very well that Aoto was a genius that could not be explained by common sense.
However... even though he had understood this a long time ago, Chiba Jutaro still could not suppress the shocking emotion that was growing crazily in his heart at this time.
He, the referee, has had no sense of presence since just now.
Step forward to announce the salute and the start of the competition, step back, and declare Aoto the winner - Chiba Jutaro repeated this process over and over again.
There is no need for him as a referee to determine in detail whose blow is valid and whose blow is invalid.
Because every blow Qingdeng makes is extremely obvious, even a layman who doesn't know anything about swordsmanship can know that this kind of blow will definitely be effective and fatal.
And those opponents of Qingdeng... couldn't even touch a corner of Qingdeng's clothes.
"ha……"
Chiba Jutaro let out a long breath, and while showing a mixed expression of admiration, he murmured to Sanako beside him:
"From the end of Lord Aizu's swordsmanship competition to now, it's only been three months, and Tachibana-kun has become a lot stronger..."
"I really can't imagine what level Mr. Orange can grow to in time..."
"If Mr. Ju continues to improve at this speed...I'm afraid it won't be long before even Brother Rong will no longer be his opponent."
Sanako: "..."
Compared to Chiba Jutaro, Sanako's reaction was much calmer.
There was no expression of surprise or admiration, nor was there any emotion like Chiba Jutaro.
Her face was expressionless, and she looked quietly at Qingden in the dojo ahead, who had fought and won 8 games in a row.
Sanako's reaction was so calm... It was not because the speed of Qingden's strength improvement did not shock her.
It's because she's used to it.
She had unknowingly become accustomed to witnessing all kinds of incredible things from this young man who was 4 years younger than her.
