One person: Brother Wang Ye, I leveled up by rebelling!

Chapter 124 I hope Lao Ding will be gentler
The word "Kendo" was first seen in the ancient book "Wu Yue Chunqiu" from the pre-Qin period.

The Chinese two-handed sword technique spread to the island country during the Sui and Tang dynasties. After years of evolution, the basic forms of kendo protective gear and bamboo swords were formed during the Edo period in the island country, establishing the prototype of kendo.

After long-term development, the island country has many kendo schools, the most famous of which are the three major military schools: Nen-ryu, Shinto-ryu, and Yin-ryu.

If we further subdivide it, there are Ittoryu, Nitenichiryu, Hayashizakii Aigyuryu, etc.

The famous "Iai", this sword technique can be roughly classified as Ittoryu, or Nen-ryu.

Eita, who once invaded China and killed the eldest brother of the Lu family, most likely learned the "Shinto-ryu" kendo. In real life, some Shinto-ryu sects not only learn kendo, but also other fighting skills.

He carried the famous sword "Hirumaru", and killed Tang Tongbi, an elite member of the Tang Clan, with one sword. He also revealed that he had killed a famous family on the mainland before, but in fact, the person he killed was the eldest son of the Lu family, who was also the brother of the mad dog Lu Ci.

Lu Ci's strength is already amazing enough. He is almost the fourth or fifth oldest in the family and the strongest fighter except for two top heroes. And judging from the fact that Lu Ci obeyed no one but his eldest brother when he was a child, it is very likely that Lu's eldest brother is more talented than Lu Ci. However, even so, he was still killed by Eita. This shows that the island country's kendo is also extremely powerful.

However, no matter how strong the island nation's swordsmanship is, it is of no use to Zhong Xiao, not to mention the young Ryoma Irie in front of him. Even if the beast Eita was reincarnated a thousand times and the rusty iron Hiruma was sharpened again, he would still not be enough for Zhong Xiao to beat him.

"Which school did you study?"

Zhong Xiao asked in broken English.

Rujiang was stunned for a moment, wondering whether Zhong Xiao's move could be considered as gathering intelligence in advance.

But I still replied honestly.

"One shot."

Itto-ryu can also be classified as mind-style. The key point of attack is "cutting and falling". It is the most orthodox successor of medieval Itto-ryu and truly embodies the essence of Itto-ryu without any impurities.

This is a style of swordplay that focuses on actual combat, emphasizing fast and accurate attacks on the opponent's vital parts in order to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

In the history of swordsmanship development in the island country, Ittoryu was once one of the most popular schools and had a profound impact on the island country's swordsmanship culture.

Zhong Xiao nodded, thinking that the reason why this style was so popular might be because it was cool to kill someone with one sword, so even in later anime works there was a skill called "One Sword Shura".

What should I call myself then? The one-slap flow?
Zhong Xiao complained secretly and shook his head.

By the way, he asked about Irie's Ryoma School not because he wanted to know the information in advance. He had the Golden Bell Cover and the Triple Level of Reverse Life, so he was not afraid of death. Although Irie practiced the Ittouri School, he was too young and could not cut Zhong Xiao.

The only reason I asked him about his style was because I wanted to know if this guy was from the Shinto style. If so, then I would beat him harder.

"お気をつけください, private one's sword, and my speed."

Be careful, my knife will be very fast.

Irie Ryoma put his feet together, bent his knees slightly, and lowered his body's center of gravity.

His right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and blue Qi flowed from his hand to the hilt, forming a thin film. The Qi also seemed to slowly penetrate through the scabbard and penetrate downward. The sword body was hidden in the scabbard, and was contaminated by the Qi that penetrated.

Holding the blade against the side of his body, Irie placed his left hand lightly on the scabbard.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes shining, as if he was looking for Zhong Xiao's flaws. His family's ancestral eye-observation method was extremely powerful, and was particularly tricky in a one-on-one duel or a confrontation between two people. Combined with the sword technique he practiced, as long as he found a flaw, he could defeat the enemy with one blow.

He looked straight ahead, relaxed his shoulders, straightened his back, took a deep breath, and mobilized all his strength, but he was a little hesitant.

Generally speaking, he hesitated because he couldn't find the opponent's flaws, but now, it was because Zhong Xiao was full of flaws!
It doesn't look like they are on high alert at all.

No matter what, this might just be a trick, after all, the opponent is a player who can surpass the upper limit of his own vision. Irie gathered all his strength and took a step forward with his right foot at lightning speed. At the same time, he quickly drew his sword with his right hand and stretched his arm straight. The power was transferred from his eyes to his arm and then to the sword body. The blue Qi flowed on the blade.

The blade drew an arc, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it slashed towards the target swiftly. The whole action was done in one go, like a storm, leaving the opponent no chance to react.

As for Zhong Xiao, he actually didn't want to react.

The bamboo sword hit the protective suit and actually pierced it, reaching the flesh.

Rujiang was startled for a moment and quickly reduced his strength. He thought that the opponent was very strong, so he used Qi in this attack.

However, when Irie pulled out the bamboo sword, he was shocked. The sword did not penetrate the flesh at all, but only the front part of the blade was shattered!
"...I didn't say I wanted to duel with you with swords, did I? I don't know how to use it."

Zhong Xiao complained.

In the previous moment, Zhong Xiao was not unable to react, he was just hesitating about how to fight back. He was wearing protective clothing and holding a bamboo sword, so should he fight with the opponent?
But I don’t know how to use a sword!

After thinking for a while, Zhong Xiao stretched his body.

When Rujiang saw Zhong Xiao making a move, he quickly retreated, opened his eyes wide, and activated the family's observation method with all his strength. In just a moment, a golden light suddenly flashed.

Irie's eyes were wide open, and in order to prevent being blinded, he closed them subconsciously. In the instant when his eyes opened and closed, a bamboo sword was placed across Irie's neck.

Zhong Xiao made perfect use of the light and speed of the Golden Escape Flowing Light. Since you like to stare, then I will shine the headlights on you.

Rujiang glanced slightly and saw the majestic Qi flowing through the bamboo sword. He was not good at self-defense techniques, and if this attack had hit him, he would have been torn apart from his head.

Even if it was a bamboo sword, with the quality of Qi, if it hit the neck hard, the spine would probably be broken.

Rujiang surrendered. He was only 16 years old and claimed to be extremely talented. However, today he met Zhong Xiao, who was only in his 20s and could rival his grandfather. He was considered to have hit a wall.

"I lost. In this dojo, I think only Grandpa can fight you..."

grandfather?

After listening to the system's translation, Zhong Xiao was stunned. It turned out that this kid had a grandfather. To be honest, he hadn't seen the owner of this Taoist temple. It was probably his grandfather.

"I'm sorry, I'm too weak... My grandfather is sparring with the challengers in the back mountain, so I have no choice but to trouble him to compete with you." Irie said to Zhong Xiao in Japanese English.

In this passage, Zhong Xiao keenly caught a word.

"Kicking gym?"

Who's going to challenge?
who!

"Ah? Come to think of it, he seems to be Chinese too, with a well-proportioned body and a bit dark..."

Okay, you don't have to say anything.

I already know it's Lao Ding...

Did your grandfather beat Ding Shimaan?
I can only say.

I hope Lao Ding will be gentler...
