Time passed, and soon the sword test in the kendo class came to an end.
The final battle was between Qin Tailai, ranked second, challenging Li Qingmeng, ranked first.
Li Qingmeng, in the eyes of many people, undoubtedly holds the template for the protagonist.
Not only is he the best among his peers in academic performance, but he is also the president of the student council. In addition, he is also the best in swordsmanship.
Of course, this number one in swordsmanship only happened in the past year.
In the past few years, Qin Tailai was the best swordsman in Qingyuan.
This, in addition to Qin Tailai's own talent in swordsmanship, is also partially related to his family background.
With his family's financial situation, although he could not hire a swordsman, it would be easy to hire a swordsman to teach Qin Tailai.
At the same time, Qin Tailai also worked hard enough, so that his swordsmanship ranked first all year round.
Until Li Qingmeng appeared, when he first entered school, Li Qingmeng was not very good at swordsmanship because he was too young.
In the second semester of the second grade of junior high school, Li Qingmeng became proficient in swordsmanship and joined the kendo class. After that, he spent a year working his way up to the second place.
After another summer vacation, when the third year of junior high school started, he defeated Qin Tailai and took away the first place.
After a full year, Li Qingmeng ranked first in more than a dozen sword trials.
Therefore, in the past two years, Qingyuan had been talking about the double stars of swordsmanship, namely Li Qingmeng and Qin Tailai.
However, after Qin Tailai failed to regain the first place for one consecutive year, this title gradually disappeared without a trace.
However, even though he suffered repeated defeats, Qin Tailai never gave up the challenge once.
This is a matter of attitude.
If it's a life and death duel, it's normal for him to admit defeat if he can't beat it.
But if you don't have the courage to challenge in ordinary sword trials, then you might as well give up on the path of swordsmanship.
The way of the sword is only in the palm of your hand. No matter how cruel the adversity is, you can't give up.
Throughout the ages, there have been many examples in the world of people who have lost a hundred times and forged a sword with a heart. Of course, there have also been many examples of people who have lost a hundred times but lost a sword and have a broken heart.
If you hold the sword unyieldingly, even if you lose, you must lose magnanimously.
In a sense, Qingyuan's sword test was also to cultivate such an unyielding spirit, so it was stipulated that the weak should challenge the strong.
Those who can't stand failure should give up the path of kendo as soon as possible.
Boom!
Soon, the swords of the two people in the field collided.
Qin Tailai was much taller and stronger than Li Qingmeng, but he did not take any advantage in the collision of sword power.
Originally, according to the physical structure of men and women, men are inherently more advantageous than women in terms of strength.
However, this can only be used to measure ordinary people, not those who practice swordsmanship.
At the beginning of the practice of kendo, one constantly purifies the spirit and refines the body. This refining is not mainly reflected in the latitude of the muscles, but the degree of development of the nervous system.
As for strength, according to common sense, the bigger the body, the stronger the strength, but this is only when the nervous system is equally developed.
With the same muscle size, some people have greater strength while others have less strength. What determines all this is the development of the nervous system.
The famous Li Yuanba from ancient times in this world was born with a developed nervous system. As a result, he was born thin, but he was very powerful.
However, as a price, his character also had flaws, and his mind was always immature.
If the same level of muscle growth brings an increase in explosive power of 1, then the same level of growth in the nervous system brings an increase in explosive power of 10!
Of course, the most powerful thing is the muscle dimensions, which grow simultaneously with the nervous system.
Because the algorithm of explosive power is not the addition of the two, but the multiplication.
In the field, there were constant cracklings and collisions, but for a moment, Qin Tailai relied on his size advantage to stabilize the situation even though his swordsmanship was obviously a level lower.
If the difference in this level is only the difference between lv5 and lv6, then Qin Tailai may really win.
But the fact is that Qin Tailai's swordsmanship is level 6, while Li Qingmeng's swordsmanship has reached level 7.
Although there is only one level difference, lv6 is just proficiency, while lv7 is mastery.
Pure and mature, and subtle understanding are completely two concepts. Not only the explosive power, but also the delicate degree of force operation, there is a huge gap between the two.
Therefore, although Zhao Cheng did not have much actual combat experience, he could see at a glance that Qin Tailai could gain a certain advantage with his strength and speed at the beginning.
But as time goes by, Qin Tailai will only become weaker and weaker, while Li Qingmeng is always stable. It is only a matter of time before the former is defeated.
Qin Tailai may also know this, but this does not change his decisiveness when he draws the sword. Defeat will happen later. At least for now, he has to show off what he has learned.
For him, victory or defeat is not important. What is important is the process. He will never change his mind after defeat in every battle. This is also a kind of swordsmanship.
Because of this, even though Qin Tailai has not won in more than a year, this does not affect the instructors' optimism about Qin Tailai.
Such a mind is undoubtedly a good candidate for swordsmanship.
The road to swordsmanship may be smooth sailing, but even the most prominent invincibles may not win all the way.
It's not like there have been many examples of a demon child turning into a sword god after a hundred defeats.
Finally, after seventeen moves, Qin Tailai's throat was sealed by Li Qingmeng's sword.
Li Qingmeng's swordsmanship is so fierce. If he doesn't make a move, he will be fatal. It is obvious that he has a famous teacher behind him to guide him.
"Seventeen swords, last time it was eighteen swords."
"Your sword skills are even better!"
In the field, Qin Tailai said, his words were very calm, but his mood was not as calm as it seemed.
No one likes to lose, everyone pursues victory, but he has a firm mind and knows that a temporary failure is nothing, but after all, it is the human nature of a young man, so he can't help but have mood swings.
And this is also a process of tempering his mind. When he can really feel calm after defeat, it will be extremely powerful.
That kind of spiritual will is so powerful that few things in the world can destroy it.
"A temporary victory means nothing."
Li Qingmeng said that he was not proud of winning.
It's not that she looks down on Qin Tailai and thinks it's okay to win against him, but her tutor since she was a child has been teaching her to be open-minded and tolerant.
But does victory really make her feel calm? No, she couldn't do it after all. She was completely victorious but not arrogant. After all, there was still some joy in her heart. After all, she was just a young person.
After this game, it was finally Zhao Cheng's turn to play. Long before the last game started, Zhao Chenggong began to adjust his breathing and spirit.
With the experience in the simulation and the swordsmanship level of consciousness reaching level 8, even though he was not talented enough in swordsmanship and could not enter the state within a breath, it only took him a few tens of seconds to completely enter the state.
When the two people retreated from the field, Zhao Cheng directly reported the ranking he wanted to challenge, and then went to put on protective gear without any delay.
But his opponent did not expect that Zhao Cheng would directly challenge him without adjusting his state in advance.
However, no one urged him and just allowed him to prepare. Of course, afterward, this person would be scolded by his instructor.
It wasn't until two minutes later that this person was finally ready and slowly came on the field.
"please!"
Zhao Chenghengjian's heart was like a calm lake, and even his voice became quiet, like a cold spring from an ancient well that had just been dug out.
