Zhang Heng did not expect that the first thing he would get would be a rib.
It feels like you have completed a side mission and obtained a piece of novice equipment before the main mission has started.
To be fair, the quality of this knife is quite good. Even if it is not a famous product, it is at least a high-quality product. It is much better than the knife he has that seems to be a popular product, but it is not as famous as Mikazuki Munechika, a famous sword in history. There is still quite a distance.
Moreover, the short sword is more suitable for close combat. When there are many enemies, it is not as useful as the sword or the sword. In fact, Heng is not too worried about a pair of swords. The reason why he wants to find a knife is to guard against a pair. Many situations.
However, since a knife was delivered to his door, he did not refuse it and accepted it first.
This dungeon is similar to the previous special dungeon of Master Builder. It is obviously aimed at honing his sword skills, so no other props are brought in. The skills can still be used, but many of them could not be used in the Edo period. What effect it has, all it can rely on is his own sword skills.
However, those who set up the dungeon probably did not expect that someone would come in directly with lv3 sword skills. Zhang Heng is now more like a walking boss in Kyoto, rather than a cute new hero who is busy fighting monsters and upgrading, so the level is too low. He no longer likes the little monsters.
Zhang Heng finally chose to join the Xiaoshan Dojo. In addition to meeting the challenges from the warriors of the Changshu Domain, having a brand of a school also made it easier for him to compete and challenge. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to talk about my sword skills when he needs to introduce himself. It was chopped off in Nassau, and its ancestor was a red-haired female pirate named Annie.
Koyama Akane taught him the rules that need to be followed to practice Koyama Akane's Shinryu. Basically, they are not much different from other schools. They all advocate courage, benevolence, and uphold samurai ethics.
Zhang Heng made a general note. Although he was not too interested in these things, since he had joined someone else's dojo, he still had to show the minimum respect, so he listened patiently.
Akane Koyama specially picked a sunny day and took Zhang Heng to pay homage to the ancestor in the dojo. To Zhang Heng's surprise, the ancestor of Koyama Akane-ryu was not Akane Koyama's father, but a man named Koyama. Koyama Akane doesn't know who Koyama Iwa is. She only knows that Koyama Akishin-ryu was created by him, and he is probably an ancestor of the Koyama family.
Zhang Heng has no interest in studying further. Oyama Ryu is a small sect worthy of the name. Even when Akane Oyama's father was still around, he was not particularly famous. It was not as famous as Yamada's Oishi Kage Ryu, not to mention Hoichen Itto Ryu and Katori. Shinto-ryu is such a famous sect.
It can also be seen from the characteristics of its genre. The so-called clear vision and original intention is a bit too metaphysical in Zhang Heng's eyes. In Zhang Heng's view, there is no difference between swordsmanship and other skills. They are just basic physical fitness, exercise and With the combination of experience, no matter how much you train your state of mind to be invincible, if someone is faster and stronger than you, you will still be unstoppable if he cuts them down with a single blow.
This point has been vividly demonstrated in the competition between Akane Oyama and Yamada.
Of course, it was not good for Zhang Heng to dismiss the core of the genre as useless on the first day he joined his school.
On the other hand, Akane Koyama was also a little surprised. As a peerless master, Zhang Heng knew nothing about many basic training methods. Moreover, Akane Koyama's previous moves were strange when she saw him and Yamada fighting each other. He seemed to prefer Western swordsmanship, combined with his His experience studying abroad can explain it.
But later on, during her conversation with Zhang Heng, she unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Heng's sword skills didn't seem to have a complete system, but were just bits and pieces put together... This was still a nice way of saying it, but in fact, it told the truth that this guy didn't have any complete system at all. He just cuts wherever he thinks. According to his own words, when facing the enemy, he basically relies on adapting to circumstances.
Didn't he lie? His sword skills were really self-taught?
But is there really such a genius in this world, who can master the world's best swordsmanship just by thinking about it? Moreover, Akane Koyama could tell that Zhang Heng had a lot of practical combat experience, or that his sword skills were purely practical sword skills. To this, Zhang Heng just explained that he had cut them off by killing pirates in the West.
However, this statement did not answer Xiaoshan Qian's doubts. Instead, it made Zhang Heng look even more mysterious. This man was obviously young, probably only in his twenties. He should not have experienced so many battles. But Zhang Heng occasionally stood under the cherry tree in the yard, looking up at the sky, and a hint of vicissitudes of life would inadvertently appear in his eyes.
However, Akane Koyama knew that everyone in this world had their own secrets, and there were undoubtedly many stories about Zhang Heng. However, since Zhang Heng didn't tell her, she didn't have to dig deeper and called the one Zhang Heng casually named Abe. Yongta's name was written on the wooden board and later hung in the column for students under the door.
So from today on, Zhang Heng officially became a member of the Xiaoshan Dojo. He could also translate and wait for the people from the Changzhou clan to come to his door.
However, what Zhang Heng didn't expect was that before Takeuchi brought anyone to take revenge, another group of people came to him first.
He was a young man who looked extremely cheerful. He always had an innocent smile on his face, and he seemed to have no worries. When Xiaoshan Akane saw him for the first time, she thought he was a young master from someone's family. I took the wrong path and entered the dojo by mistake.
He covered his mouth and coughed twice, like a butterfly flapping its wings, which made people feel inexplicably distressed. Then he moved his hand and gave Xiaoshan Akane a friendly smile, "Hello, I came here to find someone. "
Only then did Akane Koyama notice the black haori on his body and the tachi in the black wax sheath on his waist. There were many samurai in black in Kyoto, but the most famous among them was that group, and the Yamagata on his sleeve was The pattern seemed to confirm Akane Koyama’s suspicion.
Sure enough, before she could say anything, the other party readily admitted, "Yes, I am a member of the Shinsengumi." After a pause, he continued with a smile, "You must be Miss Akane Koyama."
"Why did the Shinsengumi people come to me?" Akane Koyama frowned, feeling alert in her heart.
Although the Shinsengumi received the support of the shogunate and was entrusted with the important task of maintaining public order in Kyoto, in fact, this group of ronin caused more trouble than anyone else. They were lawless, causing trouble everywhere, and continued to assassinate people who rebelled against the shogunate. Under the strict and almost cruel rules of the group, he has amazing fighting power. There are many experts in the group, and he is a existence that will give everyone a headache when they see him.
