Light arms, flexible footwork, steady posture...
——My skills are okay...
While Qingdeng silently gave his opponent a brief evaluation, he slowly gathered the bamboo sword in his hand in front of him and positioned the middle part.
To onlookers, the gap in strength between the two sides became clear from the moment Qingdeng set up his bamboo sword.
If the No. 1 opponent's posture is like a "stone", then Qingden's posture is like a "mountain"!
Even those watching the fight could clearly feel the intimidating pressure emanating from Qingdeng's body, let alone the opponent in front of Qingdeng?
The opponent's character is acceptable.
Even though he realized that the opponent in front of him was extremely difficult to deal with, and he was afraid that this battle would be more dangerous than the other, he did not show any panic at all.
I saw that every move he made was cautious.
The tip of the sword twitched slightly up and down.
The steps moved back and forth repeatedly.
His eyes never blinked, watching Qingdeng's every move.
Qingdeng's movements were equally cautious.
But he didn't keep twitching the tip of the sword or moving his steps like his opponent, just like his feet were rooted to the ground.
Even though his strength is obviously higher than that of the opponent in front of him, he still adopts such a stable style of play - Aoto's move was unanimously praised by Shimazaki Kazu, Tokuyama Shigeru and other spectators - they thought Aoto was The kind of person who "fights a lion against a rabbit with all his strength".
"He is worthy of being a swordsman who can survive in the mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and bloody winds." Shimazaki nodded and murmured with a smile, "No matter who the opponent is in front of you, you will never be careless... …”
Qingdeng didn't know that he had once again established a "steady fighting style" persona in front of others. What was he thinking in his mind now?
——It’s almost 10 seconds...
He was silently counting the 10 seconds needed to copy his talent...
Soon enough, this "confrontation between swords" with big eyes and small eyes came to an end as the opponent's footsteps suddenly changed.
The opponent rushed forward as if he couldn't hold himself back. Using the footwork of keeping the soles of his feet on the ground, he quickly and silently approached Qingdeng, and stabbed Qingdeng on his left shoulder.
With the crisp sound of bamboo swords striking each other, the opponent's blow was blocked.
This time, Qingdeng did not let the opponent in front of him escape.
The next moment he deflected the attack, Qingden turned from defense to attack at lightning speed, slashing his sword horizontally and hitting the opponent's body.
On the last day of the fireworks display...that is, three days ago, Aonto copied a new talent from the madman named Tada Koemon, which had the effect of "unusual explosive power of the arm": the Tiger Arm.
The explosive power of the legs is different from ordinary people's "leading the way", and the explosive power of the waist is different from ordinary people's "bear's waist"... plus this newly acquired "tiger arm". At this point, Qingdeng's shortcoming of "insufficient strength in both arms" has been completely made up for.
Now, Qingdeng has become a veritable "spring man" - from his lower limbs to his waist to his arms, every muscle seems to be loaded with elastic, full of explosive power!
Just like Souji. Although his body is not particularly strong, his body contains a powerful strength that is very inconsistent with his body.
Thanks to the "Tiger Arm", Qingdeng's martial arts strength has increased a lot.
The increased explosive power of both arms made the power and speed of the slash more powerful than before.
Because he had just obtained this new talent not long ago, Qingdeng was not used to this "new body" yet... He accidentally used a little more strength.
The opponent was directly knocked away, flying 4 steps laterally before landing.
There was silence in my mind...no system sound, no talent copied.
It looked like he had been beaten badly, but because he was wearing protective gear, it was not serious. The opponent quickly climbed up from the tatami.
Completely defeated by Qingdeng's sword... but this man did not show any indignation or unwillingness to be defeated.
After saying "Thank you for the advice" to Qingdeng in a calm tone, he walked out of the competition arena with his bamboo sword in hand...
…
The next opponent comes on the stage.
As soon as the second opponent entered the battle, his bamboo sword was tightly entangled with Qingdeng's bamboo sword.
This man's fighting style was very ferocious. He clung to Qingdeng like a piece of brown sugar and pursued Qingdeng like a mad dog.
Facing the opponent's fierce attack, Qingdeng adopted a thorough defensive strategy, waiting for 10 seconds to pass while wearing down the opponent's strength and momentum.
After a while, the opponent's offensive gradually slowed down due to lack of physical strength and arm strength.
Qingdeng saw the right moment and lifted his bamboo sword upwards, blowing up a whirlwind that bounced off the opponent's bamboo sword, and the opponent's empty door suddenly opened wide.
The next moment, the opponent fell to the ground in an awkward posture with his chest stabbed.
There is still no system sound in my mind...
…
Compared to the first two, opponent No. 3’s playing style is much more steady.
He did not impatiently launch a quick attack on Qingdeng, but first stabilized his sword and carefully observed Qingdeng's movements and posture.
However, Qingdeng's sword-holding posture was motionless and seamless. No matter how he scanned every part of Qingdeng's body with wide eyes, he could not find any opportunity to take advantage of it.
As a last resort, he could only use various small tricks to trick Qingdeng into using his moves, in order to exploit Qingdeng's flaws.
I saw him suddenly taking a big step forward, but then immediately retreated to his original position, as if he was about to advance but stopped.
Qingdeng didn't have that much patience to let this person take his time here.
After counting the 10 seconds, Qingden rushed towards his opponent like a gust of wind, slashed his hand hard with his sword, and knocked away his bamboo sword.
Still no system sound...
…
When opponent No. 4 first entered the battle, he adopted a "lower section" stance.
Perhaps he found that it was difficult to launch a threatening attack on Qingden with just the "lower section" stance. After thinking for a moment, he raised the sword, preparing to raise the "upper section" that was easy to deliver a powerful slash.
In the blink of an eye as he raised his bamboo sword, Qingden took a big step forward, closed the distance with him in one breath, and slashed his mask with a knife.
System tone...none.
…
…
A new opponent comes on the stage, is sent off in the snow by Qing Deng Ru Tang Wo, and a new opponent comes up, and is sent off in the snow by Qing Deng Ru Tang Wo again... This "imperial martial arts performance" progresses steadily at this rhythm.
After effortlessly knocking down the eighth person, Qingdeng finally frowned and couldn't hold back his inner emotions.
——These guys...all have average skills...
So far, not only have I not encountered a master whose strength is worth mentioning, I have also not been able to copy any talent.
This made Qingden, who had always thought that it would broaden his horizons, thought that the famous "three divisions" warriors all had very good skills, and thought that he could copy some new talents from them, couldn't help but feel surprised.
Is it because the real masters of the "Third Division" are not here? Or are these people already good players in the "Third Division"?
If it's the former, then that's it.
If it's the latter... then Qingteng doubts that with the fighting power of the "Third Division", can they fight a tough battle?
If it's just that the strength is very poor, then that's it. Qingdeng didn't feel so disappointed.
So far, Qingteng has fought against 8 Banshi from the "Third Division" and has carefully observed them. In Qingteng's eyes, the biggest problem with this group of people is their "attitude." has a problem.
These guys... all gave Qingdeng a very negative feeling.
It's not that they didn't play aggressively against Qingden.
On the contrary - they all played hard and aggressively. Qingdeng could feel that everyone was trying their best and no one was paddling.
But after they were defeated by Qingdeng, none of them showed any unwillingness to lose like this and blamed themselves for not being stronger.
They all have an indifferent attitude of "it's best if you win, and it doesn't matter if you lose"...
Don't feel unwilling or ashamed of your defeat and weakness... To be honest, this kind of mentality is more terrifying than lack of strength.
Just as Qingden was counting the poor performance of the "Third Division" in his mind, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching in front of him - opponent No. 9 was on the field.
Look up. It was Tokuyama Shigeru who had spoken to him just now at Kikunama.
Aoto looked at Tokuyama Shigeru in front of him, and then at Shimazaki Kazuo, who was kneeling alone on the east side of the room, waiting to come on, and thought to himself:
——It’s so strange... Why can’t everyone who has fought against me stay in the room longer...?
Everyone who competed against Qingdeng would be led out of the room by a designated person after the competition was over... I don’t know why.
Qingdeng paid attention to the expressions of those who left the scene - they all looked blank.
They probably didn't know why they were immediately kicked out of the room as soon as the competition ended.
At present, 8 of the 10 opponents have gone. The first 8 contestants have now left. The only people who are still here are those who have not yet competed with Qingdeng and had a brief exchange with Qingdeng before the martial arts performance began. Shimazaki Kazu and Tokuyama Shigeru.
Tokuyama Shigeru stepped on solid and powerful steps and stood 7 steps away from Aoto.
I saw him setting up his bamboo sword in a very graceful manner, raising his head high and saying loudly:
"Mr. Orange, please enlighten me!"
The sound is loud, the tone is sonorous, powerful and full of momentum.
Qingden's eyebrows twitched slightly and his eyes narrowed.
The spirit displayed by Tokuyama Shigeru's shout... was different from every previous opponent!
——It looks like a decent person has finally arrived...
Qingdeng, who unconsciously had a faint smile on his lips, concentrated his mind and steadied his bamboo sword.
"Hey!"
Tokuyama Shigeru's energy sank into his dantian, he stepped forward and launched an attack.
The bamboo sword swung from the middle made a sound as it struck Qingdeng's face - he was so ambitious that he chose this vital point as the target of his first strike.
Qingden quickly moved back and knocked away Tokuyama Shigeru's bamboo sword.
As if he had been scalded by hot boiling water, Tokuyama Shigeru quickly took half a step back with the bamboo sword that was almost bounced away. After quickly adjusting the direction of his body and the blade, he let out a loud cry and immediately took the blow again. A very sharp knife.
Tokuyama Shigeru is a full 25cm shorter than Aotobu, and his figure is slimmer than Aotobu.
The sharp contrast in stature makes him feel like a mantis acting as a chariot when he is fighting against Qingdeng.
However, Tokuyama Shigeru was not deterred at all.
He started "fighting" with Qingdeng without fear, launching a continuous offensive like a violent storm that wanted to drown Qingdeng.
The sharp shouts coming from the Dantian energy and the crisp sound of bamboo swords clashing came one after another.
Aoto, who was on the defensive, used his dazzling sword skills and dazzling footwork to defeat Tokuyama Shigeru's offensive. At the same time, he cast admiring eyes at the opponent in front of him. .
In terms of skill, Shigeru Tokuyama is by no means a master. At least 6 of all the opponents Aomori had just faced were stronger than Tokuyama Shigeru.
But Tokuyama Shigeru has something that the eight people in front of him don't have - the momentum to win!
Only those who are determined to win and defeat the enemy in front of them can wield such oppressive slashes.
The longer he practiced martial arts and the more hard and bloody battles he experienced, the more Qingdeng realized: Momentum is very important when fighting with others!
As long as there is an indomitable spirit that is not afraid of injury or death, even if the opponent is far weaker than the opponent, there is still a chance to create a feat in which the weak defeat the strong.
With this high-spirited momentum, even though he was not strong, Tokuyama Shigeru brought a greater sense of oppression and threat to Qingto than any opponent he had just encountered.
From the sound of his voice, Tokuyama Shigeru must be young.
Although he has the deep, rich tone unique to adult men, his tone is still obviously childish.
He must be around 13 or 4 years old.
It would be too much of an advantage for an adult man like Aoto to fight with a young man like him - but within a moment, Tokuyama Shigeru's weakness at such a young age was revealed.
"LOL……"
Compared with Aoto's deft defense, Tokuyama Shigeru's offense is gradually showing signs of fatigue.
My breathing was chaotic... In order to ensure the supply of oxygen, I had to open my mouth wide and greedily suck the air from my lips.
Although the offensive is still maintained, the speed of the bamboo sword has slowed down significantly.
Qingdeng, who had been silently accumulating strength and waiting for the best opportunity to counterattack, was waiting for this moment.
Aoto took a step back, then quickly and silently pounced forward like a giant beast hunting for prey. The bamboo sword in his hand made a loud noise - the blade struck hard at Tokuyama Shigeru's flank, who was unable to react.
Tokuyama Shigeru, who was stabbed in the left abdomen, let out a dull exclamation, and then counterattacked with a reflex attack, hitting Qingden's chest, hoping to die together with Qingden.
If the battle between the two of them now is not a sparring with bamboo swords, but a duel with real swords, then if Tokuyama Shigeru's counterattack is real, it can seriously injure Aoto. If he is lucky, he can directly bring Aoto together. Go to hell together.
Seeing through Tokuyama Shigeru's intention, Ayoto turned his upper body slowly and dodged the bamboo sword that was heading straight for his chest. Then he rushed forward, dodged behind Tokuyama Shigeru, and then turned around with his feet. , using the centrifugal force brought by turning the body, delivered a second blow to Tokuyama Shigeru's body.
This time, Qingdeng used a lot more force.
The bamboo sword that hit Tokuyama's back directly "smashed" the unexpectedly light young man to the ground.
"I accept it." Qingdeng flipped his wrist and swung the knife with blood as usual.
"Hahaha..." Shigeru Tokuyama climbed up from the tatami on his hands and knees, and smiled bitterly at Qingden: "It's so frustrating to be defeated...I didn't even see your sword path or movements clearly, and you were knocked down. It’s over…”
Although he said so, Tokuyama Shigeru frankly admitted his defeat.
He bowed to Aoto and said "Thank you for your advice" very politely. Then he held his bamboo sword and retreated to the side of Shimazaki Kazu. Strangely enough, Tokuyama Shigeru didn't act like the previous one. He was like that and was forced to leave the room after competing with Qingden.
At the moment when Shigeru Tokuyama exited——
【Ding! Scan to talent]
Since the beginning of the imperial martial arts performance, the system sound that had never sounded in my mind finally came.
[Successfully copied talent: "Emperor's Art"]
[Introduction to talent: Excellent facial muscle control ability]
Qingdeng's expression was suddenly startled. After Yu yelled "What the hell" in his heart, he quickly opened the system interface and checked his talent list.
At the very end of the list, there is a new talent with a very domineering name: Emperor's Art!
——Facial muscles? emperor?
Qingdeng looked blank and blinked his eyes several times.
Either strong or subtle... Qingdeng has seen a lot of all kinds of talents.
But this was the first time he had seen a talent with such a strange name.
Facial muscle control... Why can a talent that enhances facial muscle control be given such a powerful name?
Just when Qingden was dumbfounded and thinking——
"Aha! It's finally my turn!"
Dragging his bamboo sword, Shimazaki couldn't wait to kick the skirt of his kendo uniform, and rushed to Aoto's side with a bang.
"Finally it's my turn! Shimare-ryu, Shimazaki Kazu, come on!"
The competition is not over yet... Qingto, who had to focus his mind and attention away from the new strange talent, raised his eyebrows at Shimazaki.
"Show current flow?"
"What? The swordsmanship style I use is the manifestation style. Is this weird?"
Qingden shook his head: "I rarely see swordsmen who use the art of expression, so I think it's a bit rare."
"Oh, that's it...then you may be disappointed later." Shimazaki laughed a few times, "My display flow... I haven't practiced it very well. I may not be able to let you really see it. To show the true style and power of Mianliu.”
After finishing speaking, Shimazaki cleared his throat forcefully.
Then--
"Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Shimazaki ran up to Aoto and slashed the bamboo sword held in his upper right hand with all his strength. As soon as he struck out with this slash, Aoto immediately showed a look of shock!
At the moment of lightning, Qingden quickly moved his steps and hid away from Shimazaki Kazu's sword.
"Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Shimazaki yelled again and took half a step forward. While he was in front of Aoden again, the bamboo sword in his hand returned to the upper right side of his head in an arc.
The next moment the sword tip stood still for a moment, the sword tip made a sound in the wind! Crack will come down!
Looking at the bamboo sword that struck again in front of him... the look of shock on Qingden's cheeks became a little more intense.
Qingto took another step sideways to avoid Shimazaki Kazu's attack.
Then Shimazaki caught up again.
Just like a cat catching a mouse - Aoto dodges, Shimazaki rushes after him and attacks, Aoto dodges again, Shimazaki chases after him again and attacks again... The two of them just keep repeating this rhythm of attack and defense.
Basically, every time Shimazaki swung his sword, the look of astonishment on Aoto's face would increase.
One wave and one surprise, another wave and another surprise.
After dodging Shimazaki Kazuchi's slash again, Aoto finally couldn't hold back his emotions and shouted in his heart:
——The level is too bad!
When Shimazaki Kazuo just said that he was still not very good at showing off his skills, Aoto thought he was being polite and modest... but he didn't expect that he was actually telling the truth!
The strength, speed, angle and timing of the sword... are all in a mess!
It doesn’t have the least lethality that the Show of Shows should have... Such a level is completely humiliating the Shows of Shows!
The only thing that can be called an advantage is its strong momentum.
Aoto didn't make any defense or counterattack, he just used his footwork to dodge Shimazaki Kazuo's attack - just like this, Shimazaki Kazuo was still having a hard time fighting.
After a while, Shimazaki was breathing heavily, his movements became slower and slower, and his posture became more and more messy.
He raised the bamboo sword above his head again, but his posture had become messy - his right leg was too far forward, his chin was not tightened, and his waist and butt were forgotten.
There is nothing much to say... Qingto, who has no time to fool around with Shimazaki anymore, just finished counting the 10 seconds silently at this moment - he casually raised and swung his bamboo sword and slashed at Shimazaki's chest.
There was no skill at all, just a very ordinary horizontal slash - but Shimazaki couldn't even receive such an ordinary blow.
"Aww!"
Shimazaki, who had a sword in his chest, screamed and fell to the ground.
Although Shimazaki Kazu's ability is lacking, he still has to do all the courtesy.
Ayoto put away his bamboo sword and bowed slightly towards Shimazaki Kazuo who fell to the ground.
"Cheng..."
The first syllable of the phrase "I gave in" has just been spoken——
【Ding! Scan to talent]
[Successfully copied talent: "Many children, many blessings"]
[Talent Introduction: It is easier to give birth to healthy and excellent children]
【Dududududu! 】
[Warning: Because the host is male, it does not match this talent]
[This talent does not take effect]
The system sound that suddenly sounded in his mind made Qingden so shocked that he forgot to speak.
