Secondly, strike the opponent's body with the momentum.

It is a powerful move that combines offense and defense.

However, while it sounds mysterious, it's difficult to achieve the desired effect in actual use.

The actual strength or weakness depends on the swordsmanship level of both sides.

Because it's a straight chop attack with the absolute center line, while the opponent's attacks aren't always purely center-line attacks.

Theory is theory, and practice is practice.

If a novice swordsman thinks he can crush everything with his so-called "slicing down," his seniors will surely teach him a lesson he won't forget.

However, Tie Zhuyu's skill level is indeed high. She has extraordinary talent, exceptional eyesight, and her swordsmanship is much better than that of other female swordsmen of the same age.

Under such circumstances, the "cutting down" move is indeed invincible when used to crush novices.

It is similar in style to Sosuke's Manipulation Style.

In comparison, Motoko Gotoku was not a specialist in techniques such as "cutting".

However, compared to yesterday, her performance today seemed much more agile.

During yesterday's elimination rounds, Motoko Itako was on the verge of a "breakthrough," and in order to quickly grasp and solidify that feeling of "becoming stronger," she focused intently on giving her all in every match.

This resulted in a significant waste of energy.

For example, many of her opponents were actually quite weak, but she still used all her strength to wield her sword and defeat them.

It's roughly equivalent to using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Today is different. Wufang Suzi has completely found her footing and is fully familiar with the new phase.

Therefore, when she fights her opponent, although she doesn't rely on "slicing down" to dominate like Tie Zhuyu, she also doesn't involuntarily waste excess power like she did yesterday.

Motoko Goto adjusted her fighting style, relying on her keen swordsmanship insight in each round to adjust her moves completely according to her opponent's sword strikes, thus achieving a one-hit victory in most situations.

Even if there are one or two strong individuals, they can easily defeat them with just two or three more sword strikes.

The women's competition, which was originally scheduled to be held in Yulong Banner, has completely turned into an exhibition match between these two genius female swordsmen.

Every time they compete, the cheers from the audience are exceptionally intense.

Both players easily achieved a record-breaking 45-match winning streak in the history of women's competitions in Yulong Banner.

Finally, amidst cheers that almost echoed throughout the entire stadium, the final was about to begin.

Sosuke and his kendo club teammates accompanied Motoko Itako to the stage.

Wu Fang Suzi hasn't even put on her mask yet. She's been playing since the round of 16, and has already gone through three more rounds of matches, defeating fifteen opponents.

Although it was much easier than yesterday, Suzi's face was still covered in fine sweat.

"Don't worry, Suko. I've done a thorough comparison. If you go all out, defeating Tetsuyu is a sure thing."

Sosuke took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from Motoko's forehead and cheeks, encouraging her with a smile.

Motoko's cheeks flushed slightly as she felt Sosuke's large hand brush against her cheek through a tissue.

The warm hands felt slightly cool against Suko's slightly elevated body temperature after her intense exercise, which made her feel very comfortable.

She looked at Atobe Sousuke with a flickering gaze, unable to utter a word for a moment.

***

Motoko Gofuku gazed quietly at Sousuke Atobe, her eyes seemingly containing a strange emotion.

Seeing that the kendo girl was silent and didn't notice anything wrong with her, Sousuke earnestly reminded her, "Motoko, although I firmly believe that you can win, don't be deceived by the performance of our opponent. She is just like you, and she hasn't used her full strength in the normal match so far."

Wu Fang Suzi calmed her thoughts and nodded gently: "Master, I know. Her performance was still impressive, and she must be hiding even stronger swordsmanship."

"Yes, you know that's good. Remember, don't let your guard down. Go all out from the start and avoid losing points due to unexpected events."

Seeing that Motoko was surprisingly obedient, Sosuke couldn't help but pat her head and show a fatherly smile.

No wonder Yae Meixuan is so worried about this disciple!

Having such a gifted and obedient disciple is a stroke of luck that's hard to find even with a lantern.

Now Sousuke is also beginning to enjoy the thrill of training disciples.

He found that seeing several female disciples achieve good results made him even more excited and happy than when he himself swept the entire Golden Eagle Banner to win the championship.

Although Motoko wasn't distracted by the three-stage thrust this time like she had last time, she didn't resist at all, even as she watched Sousuke reach out to touch her head.

Instead, she blushed slightly and let Sosuke gently stroke her long hair.

'I will definitely live up to Atobe Teacher's expectations!'

She thought this to herself, and suddenly a flame ignited in her eyes.

Then, Sousuke watched as the Heavenly Sword attribute, which had always been above the kendo girl's head but hadn't yet shown any special effects, suddenly burst into a fierce flame.

what's going on?

Sosuke was a little confused.

He simply patted his disciple's head and gave her some encouragement, and that's how the sword-wielding girl unleashed her full potential?

So I have the ability to add buffs?

After activating her buff, Motoko Gofuku resembled a drawn sword. She nodded to Sousuke, put on her mask, and turned to walk onto the arena with her teammates.

The two teams began to bow to each other at the referee's instruction.

Wu Fang Suzi stood ramrod straight, her eyes beneath her mask fixed intently on the person directly opposite her.

Opposite her, Tie Zhuyu's eyes also met hers with excitement.

At this moment, both of them could see each other's eyes through the gaps in their masks.

I will definitely defeat you!

The same thought arose in their minds, and they both conveyed it to their opponent through their eyes.

Then, both teams' teammates left the field.

Only the two who had been the vanguard, already fully equipped with protective gear, retreated to the starting point and assumed a fairly standard crouching posture.

Then, amidst thunderous cheers from the crowd, the referee raised his hands.

"Let's begin the study of ancient texts!"

A figure flashed by, and the two girls started moving simultaneously, closing in on each other at an extremely fast speed.

Then swing your swords at the same time!

"despair!"

With a crisp sound, the bamboo swords of the two sides clashed, neither of them managing to hit the other's body, and they entered a state of mutual sparring.

"I've seen your performance. Last year you were a rookie who was a bit better than a bug. This year you've improved, but you're still not as good as me!"

While she was completely focused, Tie Zhuyu, who was opposite Wu Fang Suzi, suddenly smiled and spoke to her quickly in a low voice.

Tie Zhuyu was telling the truth.

Motoko Goto's kendo level is Mugaeryu 12, and it was still 11 until she defeated her last opponent yesterday.

However, Tetsuyu's swordsmanship level was Ono-ha Ittō-ryū 14, which was two levels higher than Goka Motoko's.

The difference between these two levels is enough for the higher-level side to gain a technological advantage.

Furthermore, although Wufang Suzi possesses the "Heavenly Sword" attribute, this attribute doesn't actually play a significant role when Wufang Suzi is dealing with weak opponents. It mainly allows her to discern her opponent's sword techniques and conserve her energy.

Therefore, Motoko did not demonstrate any extraordinary abilities during the previous matches.

It is precisely because of this that Tie Zhuyu was able to face Suzi with such composure.

However, she clearly made some miscalculations.

Wu Fang Su Zi remained silent in the face of Tie Zhu Yu's provocative words, only pursing her lips slightly. The next moment, she suddenly increased her strength and used her taller stature to press Tie Zhu Yu down into a disadvantageous position.

Tie Zhuyu was caught off guard by Wu Fang Suzi's sudden outburst. She took a step back, barely managing to maintain her posture and avoid being overwhelmed by her opponent, and surprise showed in her eyes.

However, in a swordsmanship competition, once you fall into a disadvantageous position, the outcome can change in an instant.

The next second, Wu Fang Su Zi immediately withdrew her sword and retreated the moment Tie Zhu Yu tried to withstand the burst of power!

In her haste, Tie Zhuyu felt a sudden lightness in her hands. Her hands, which had been trying to resist, immediately rose slightly out of control, and the bamboo knife in her hand also rose a little.

She looked at Motoko in surprise and found that the retreating opponent had assumed an unusual posture.

"Thrust!"

It's called a thrust, but it's actually a tooth thrust!

This tiny flaw alone is enough to be fatal!

With a loud shout, Suko's bamboo sword pierced through the broken bamboo sword of Tetsuroba in an instant, accurately hitting her throat guard!

The immense force that erupted forced the unsuspecting Tie Zhuyu back two steps.

At the same time, Motoko Gofuku also quickly jumped back and completed her Zanshin.

"One copy!"

The referee immediately raised his flag and announced that Motoko had scored.

Less than ten seconds into the game, Motoko Gomoku took the first point!

"Tie Zhuyu, if you don't take this seriously, you'll lose even faster next round than you did this time."

Wu Fang Su Zi returned to the starting position and said coldly to Tie Zhu Yu, who had just reacted.

"You!" Tie Zhuyu knew all too well that Wu Fang Su Zi had been hiding his strength.

She held back her words, quickly suppressing her anger and transforming it into a determination to defeat her opponent.

Thus, in Sōsuke's eyes, his own entry finally appeared above the head of Tetsuroha on the stage.

The Master Swordsman!

He couldn't help but nod.

The real battle is about to begin!

Chapter 178 True Wushang VS False Fushe

The two girls on stage exuded confidence and charisma.

Sousuke immediately opened the interfaces for the two of them.

Among them, Tie Zhuyu's swordsmanship level changed from "Ono-ha Ittō-ryū 14" to "Ono-ha Ittō-ryū 14+" after her entry was displayed.

This shows that Tie Zhuyu's "Master of the Wonderful Sword" is inferior to Wu Fang Suzi's "Heavenly Sword" in terms of both the prestige of the name and its strength.

After all, the entry for Wufang Suzi now provides her with two "+" bonuses.

The next moment, the referee announced the start of the match again.

Tie Zhuyu and Wu Fangsuzi took a step at the same time, bursting out amidst the gasps of most of the audience.

too fast!

Immediately afterwards, they swung their bamboo knives almost simultaneously, clashing against each other in an instant.

What followed was a dazzling display of rapid knife clashes.

Indeed, both of their skills have surpassed the level 10 that ordinary people can achieve, and with the added boost from their respective attributes, they appear even more formidable.

Therefore, to ordinary people, their matches already feel like watching an action movie with "pre-arranged moves".

The scene suddenly transformed into a duel reminiscent of a sword-fighting action movie, with the two men moving nimbly, wielding their swords in rapid succession, while simultaneously blocking their opponent's attacks.

The high-speed offensive and defensive battles displayed on the big screen became increasingly intense.

Such a thrilling scene made many viewers hold their breath, unable to shout words of encouragement.

While Wu Fang Su Zi was in the Heavenly Sword state, although his aura was fierce, his eyes were clear and bright.

Tie Zhuyu's sword path seemed to slow down and become clearly visible in her sharp eyes, and then she instinctively used the most suitable method to break through it one by one.

This is the Heavenly Sword—the Sword that Acts on Behalf of Heaven.

Ordinary attack methods are rarely effective against swordsmen who wield the "Sword of Heaven".
