Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 327 New Sword Manual

When Kamisai spoke out on behalf of the three swordsmen and gave a resounding affirmative response that they would participate in the competition.

Foreign journalists haven't realized anything yet.

Journalists in this country felt that this matter was even crazier.

All three of them are masters of the Japanese kendo world and are role models who have already achieved success.

What if I lose miserably in this kendo competition?
This possibility is quite high, because the three swordsmen are all in their early 50s and are not strong young men.

As for those who have practiced kendo for a lifetime, they have definitely reached the pinnacle of perfection in routine demonstrations and duels.

But what about actually going on the field and fighting someone in real combat?
The reporters are still very worried, because that would cost them all their reputation!
Is this crazy?
Seeing the concerns of the local reporters, Ueizumi Saisunao said sincerely: "Since it is a kendo competition, how can local kendo practitioners not participate?
The three of us are icons of Japanese kendo and deserve to participate in this duel."

Hearing his answer, the local reporters nodded.

This is indeed the case. If this kendo competition was attended by only laymen and foreigners, it would be difficult to determine the second best in the world.

That was also something that brought shame to the entire Japanese kendo community.

The participation of three swordsmen in this kendo tournament is indeed inevitable.

But, can they really do it?

Tsukahara Nobutomo took over the topic and continued, "Over the past few days, Teacher Lin Yuan has pointed out many of our shortcomings and provided a comprehensive set of sword techniques that can be used in actual combat. We've learned a lot and are very confident that we can achieve excellent results in this kendo tournament."

The reporter from the Asahi Shimbun who was acting as a "shill" immediately raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Lin Yuan has compiled a practical sword technique?"

"Yes. After improving the traditional swordsmanship, it has become a complete set of swordsmanship that can be used in actual combat." Tsukahara Nobutomo answered affirmatively.

"Excuse me, could you please reveal more information about this sword technique? If it needs to be kept confidential, I'll be sorry for the inconvenience," the Asahi Shimbun reporter continued to ask.

"There's nothing to hide. We've made a teaching video of the entire sword technique, which you can show to everyone here," Tsukahara Nobutomo replied.

After hearing his answer, all the reporters at the scene immediately started discussing:

"Huh? From what I know, most kendo schools treat their technical skills as if they were their lifeblood, and are simply unwilling to share them with others."

"That's not surprising. After all, it's the foundation of their sect. How could they just teach it to you casually? I would do the same."

"But Lin Yuan selflessly shared it with everyone!"

"You haven't seen it yet. Who knows if what he's bringing out is genuine stuff? Maybe he's just trying to fool everyone and gain some fame?"

"Impossible! When has Lin Yuan ever used such rubbish to fool us? And the three sword masters just said that this set of sword moves has given them confidence. It must be really useful!"

"Don't argue, there's a tutorial video coming soon, right? You'll know once you watch it!"

The staff turned on the huge screen on the backstage background wall, and the cute face of Yui Aragaki immediately appeared on the screen.

She was wearing a standard Japanese JK suit with a high ponytail combed back her head, looking cute and energetic.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yui Aragaki, you can call me Gakki. Today I'll show you the new sword techniques compiled by Master Lin Yuan."

"This set of sword moves is divided into basic and advanced versions."

"Let me first introduce the basic version. It has 36 basic moves and 25 backhand variations. Mastering the basic version is enough to become a real combat expert." "The advanced version has 18 basic moves and 14 backhand variations. Today we will demonstrate two moves from the advanced version."

After hearing GAKKI-chan's introduction, a reporter immediately said, "It's divided into basic and advanced versions? You see, Lin Yuan really doesn't share his sword moves casually, right? I said it's impossible for him to be completely secretive."

"The girl said that as long as you master the basic version of the moves, it's enough to become a master. That means the basic version must be full of useful information."

"Yes, as long as the basic version is valuable enough, it's already very sincere. Even if Lin Yuan wants to use the advanced version to make some profit, isn't that reasonable? I can't give you everything for free, right?"

"Stop talking, just keep listening, the girl hasn't even finished what she's saying yet."

GAKKI-chan on the big screen smiled and said, "You must be curious about the difference between the basic and advanced sword moves. Are the advanced ones more powerful, while the basic ones are just ordinary sword moves?"

After hearing what GAKKI said, the reporters nodded one after another, because many of them thought so.

GAKKI continued, "Of course not. Master Lin Yuan's original intention in creating this set of sword moves was to provide all kendo enthusiasts with a set of sword moves for reference and learning.

Therefore, he will share all his experiences with everyone for free."

"The reason for the distinction between basic and advanced versions is that the sword techniques in the basic version do not require any physical fitness from the practitioner. As long as you follow the instructions and practice diligently, you will definitely be able to master them."

"The sword moves in the advanced version all have certain physical requirements and are not something that everyone can master. Therefore, each person needs to selectively learn them based on their own actual situation."

"In fact, it is not necessary to master the advanced sword techniques. As long as you master all the basic sword techniques and use them flexibly, you will be invincible."

After listening to GAKKI's introduction, the reporters at the scene nodded: It turns out that sword skills are not distinguished by level, quality, but by practice conditions. This seems a lot more scientific and convincing.

The three swordsmen saw that the reporters on the scene reacted very well and seemed to accept this statement very much. They felt that Lin Yuan was really amazing and knew how to grasp people's hearts.

Obviously there is still a trick up his sleeve, but expressing it in this way makes it much easier for everyone to accept.

How could advanced sword techniques really be optional? And how could they be taught to everyone completely selflessly?

The Dharma should not be passed on lightly, and this principle applies everywhere.

Lin Yuan did indeed fully demonstrate the key points of practicing those advanced sword moves in the video.

But for most people, can they really learn it just by watching videos?

If everyone was really that talented, they would have all been self-taught at home.

Anyway, the three swordsmen felt that without Lin Yuan's hands-on teaching, it would be really impossible for them to fully master those complicated sword skills.

Maybe some genius could do it, but they couldn't.

For the general public, if you cannot learn even though Lin Yuan has already demonstrated all the key points, it only means that you lack understanding.

Wanting one-on-one hands-on teaching is such an unreasonable request, you can't really ask for help for free, right?

This is Lin Yuan's opportunity to expand his influence.

On the big screen, GAKKI said with a smile:

"The demonstration is about to begin. We'll start with two advanced sword moves. Please stay focused and don't let your attention wander. But if you do wander, it's okay. You can just go back and watch it a million times over!"
