I formed the strongest swordsman group

"What? 'Position'? Who? Me?" Qingdeng, with a look of astonishment on his brows, subconsciously tilted his head to bring his ears closer to Zhou Zhu.

"Mr. Ju, when you were fighting with that new wife Kuan just now, you showed off your 'power'." Standing beside Qingdeng, Chong Tian repeated what Zhou Zhu said just now.

Immediately afterwards, Okita briefly outlined to Qingdeng what had just happened on the field but Qingdeng himself was not aware of.

Just now, most of the spectators only saw the sword that Qingdeng hit his new wife Kuan's head.

But for swordsmen like Zhou Zhu and Okita who had made some achievements in martial arts, they saw something that shocked them even more than Qingdeng's blow.

Because it is very weak, and because it only appeared for a moment, the vast majority of all the spectators in the martial arts seats are ordinary people who don't know all kinds of martial arts and swordsmen who have not yet reached a certain level of swordsmanship. None of them noticed——what a terrible thing Qingdeng did unconsciously just now.

Just when Qingdeng rushed towards his new wife Kuan, just before Qingdeng drew his sword, an invisible aura radiated from Qingdeng's body.

People in martial arts have their own term for this invisible aura: potential!

The "aura" released by Qingdeng is exactly "momentum"!

Although it is very weak, it is indeed a high-level domain in the journey of martial arts that only a very small number of lucky people can be lucky enough to touch: "Position"!

The vast majority of people are only amazed at Qingdeng's feat of picking the "Three Heroes" in succession and winning the championship of this competition like a bamboo shoot.

Only those knowledgeable people like Zhou Zhu and Okita know—compared with unleashing the "power", how to pick the "Three Heroes" in succession, such a small achievement, is not worth mentioning at all!

Even if the "momentum" released by Qingdeng is very weak, even if it only lasts for a moment and then disappears, it is enough to shock the world!

Because it's only been less than 4 months since Qingdeng officially started learning swordsmanship...

In less than 4 months, from a novice in swordsmanship to a swordsman who can release "power"... such a deed, no matter what adjectives are used to describe it, it pales in comparison.

At this moment, Zhou Zhu's expression was the most complicated.

I just popularized the concept of "potential" with you the night before yesterday, can you release "potential" today? !

When he was listening to Okita's overview of what he had just done, the more Qing Deng listened, the more difficult it was for him to stop the look of astonishment that continuously burst from his cheeks.

——I just... released the "momentum"?

Qingdeng tried his best to recall the scene of the duel with his new wife Kuan just now.

At that time, he was completely unaware of the "potential" he had released.

But Qingdeng remembered very clearly - he saw the "air currents" on his new wife Kuan at that time that he had seen in "Snow Night Chaos"!

What are these invisible and colorless "airflows"? Qingdeng didn't have a clue until now.

But there is one thing that Qingdeng is very clear about: these "airflows"...have a function similar to "guidance"!

In the "Snow Night Chaos Battle" three months ago, after seeing the "airflow" among the enemy groups, Qingdeng suddenly became able to clearly identify which was weaker and stronger, the enemy or his own, and clearly Who is the leader and central figure of the enemy.

Thanks to this, Qingdeng and Saito were able to rush left and right in the enemy group so smoothly at that time - because he could see where the enemy group was weakest.

And in the fight with Xinzukuan just now, the moment after seeing the "air flow" from Xinzukuan's body, a thought flashed in Qingdeng's mind: the sword should be raised a little bit higher!

After these thoughts popped up in his mind, Qingdeng's body subconsciously moved according to his will, fine-tuning the angle of swinging the sword.

The facts that happened afterwards proved that this temporary decision to raise the sword slightly was extremely correct.

After adjusting the body of the sword by an imperceptible amount, the tip of the sword rubbed against Xinzukuan's sword at a perfect angle in mid-air, causing the path of Xinzukuan's sword to be skewed and blocking Xinzukuan's attack.

If Qingdeng hadn't fine-tuned the angle of the sword at that time, he wouldn't have been able to parry Xinwikuan's sword so perfectly.

Now that I think about it carefully, Qingdeng feels that the reason why he suddenly thought of adjusting the angle of the sword body at that time should be the effect of the "air flow" that he suddenly saw from his new wife wide body - this "air flow" guided How should he swing his sword so that he can better parry Xinjukuan's attack and hit Xinwikuan!

Qingdeng compared the time when he sensed the "power" from Okita and the time when he saw the "air current" from his new wife Hiroshi - he was surprised to find that the timing of the two coincided quite well...

——At the same moment when I saw the "air flow" from Xinzuhiro's body, did I release the "momentum"...

—Is there any connection between the two?

Qingdeng pursed his lips, thinking carefully—and then he couldn't figure out why no matter how he thought about it.

Qingdeng didn't even understand why he suddenly saw "air flow" from his new wife Kuan.

He felt that the appearance of this "air flow" seemed to have no rules to follow. The previous "Snow Night Chaos" also appeared unexpectedly.

"It's so strange..." At this time, Kondo frowned on the side, "Tachibana-kun should be far from the level of strength that can release the 'momentum'..."

How difficult is it to practice "potential"?

Let's just put it this way-Kondo, Okita and the others haven't cultivated "potential" until now.

In the whole examination hall, only Zhou Zhu has "potential", and Kondo, Hijikata, Okita and others are still struggling in this field.

Not to mention the guard training hall, but the famous Xuanwu Hall and Little Chiba Sword Hall. At present, only Chiba Sakakichi, Chiba Eijiro, and Chiba Michizaburo have successfully practiced "shi".

Chiba Tamon Shiro, who also grew up in the Chiba family with such a well-developed swordsmanship gene, and the two brothers and sisters Chiba Shigetaro and Sanako, are still far from reaching this field.

The main reason why it is so difficult to practice "Position" is that it does not have a systematic training method like sword skills.

Whether you can develop "potential" depends purely on your strength, talent and opportunity.

Even without moving his body, he released a "momentum" that could frighten his opponent with just a blink of an eye... How many swordsmen dream of this state?

However, countless swordsmen have not reached this level in their entire lives - they only trained their eyes to be more fierce.

"Hmm..." Zhou Zhu raised his hand to touch his bare chin, and his brows were also frowned like Kondo's, "This may be because Mr. Ju has an outstanding talent in practicing 'momentum'..."

Hijikata, standing behind Kondo, raised his gaze to look at Zhousuke, Kondo and his son, who were frowning now, pursed their lips thoughtfully, and then cleared their throat vigorously:

"Okay, let's discuss these martial arts matters later."

"Let's celebrate our champion now!"

With a faint smile on Dojikata's handsome face, he walked slowly to Qingdeng's side, stretched out his right arm and hugged Qingdeng's shoulder vigorously: "Tachibana, congratulations! After today, when you are in Edo The reputation will become even louder!"

Kondo was taken aback, looked at Qingdeng in front of him, and then at Hijikata who was saying "Congratulations" to Qingdeng, his brows that were originally frowning slowly loosened, and a faint smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm...that's true! Now is really not the time to think about these issues! Tachibana-kun, congratulations on winning this competition!"

...

...

Looking at Qingdeng not far away who is now surrounded by Okita and the others and surrounded by the congratulations of Okita and the others, Chiba Shigetaro twitched the right corner of his mouth, then turned his head, facing his younger sister Sanako who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him Let out a few self-deprecating low laughter:

"Zonako, we brothers and sisters have not been accurate in our evaluation of Mr. Ju in the past two days..."

"I didn't expect... Mr. Ju, he really surpassed Brother Rong's record of refining 'Position' in one year."

Hearing his brother's emotion, Zuo Nazi's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

(From the beginning of sword practice to the first release of his "power", the second cousin only took him a little over a year-no matter what else, this point alone, I think it is enough to make Ju Jun stand on his shoulders)

Recalling what she swore to her family last night... Sanako felt her cheeks uncontrollably hot and red due to embarrassment and embarrassment.

This high-altitude flower with a cold personality and always a glamorous look that rejects others on weekdays, unexpectedly has a day when her cheeks turn red due to embarrassment and embarrassment... It's a pity that at this time only Yu Zuo is standing. Chiba Shigetaro, who was beside the boy, noticed this contrasting and rare beauty.

Chiba Shigetaro grinned when he noticed the change in his sister's expression at the first time, and teased Sanako:

"Zonazi, fortunately, the only people who heard your words last night were me and my father. Otherwise, you would be ashamed."

Chiba Shigetaro's ridicule made the embarrassment on Sanako's face more intense, and the blush that flew onto her cheeks became more vivid.

After taking two deep breaths in a row to regain her composure, Sanako squinted her beautiful eyes, gave Chiba Shigetaro a sharp look, and then turned coldly at her brother in an unhappy tone. He gave a cold "hum".

Chiba Shigetaro knew that Sanako had always been very thin-skinned, so he teased her just enough, if he teased her too much, it would really make Sanako angry.

Ever since, Chiba Shigetaro shrank his neck in due course and closed his mouth.

After successfully warning her elder brother with her eyes and that cold "hum", Sanako took her eyes away from Chiba Shigetaro.

And in the process of retracting her gaze... Her gaze inevitably swept across Qingdeng who was still surrounded by everyone in front of her, and the embarrassment that had just been suppressed immediately flashed from Sanazi's cheeks take off.

It was said yesterday that Tachibana-kun’s talent is not superior to that of Chiba Eijiro, but Tachibana-kun made a shock today that shocked Sanako’s heart. Until now, he has not achieved a complete astonishing achievement: after only 4 months of practicing swords, he released Own "potential"!

This is nearly 8 months faster than Chiba Eijiro's record!

He and his elder brother have practiced swordsmanship so far, but they still haven't even seen the shadow of "Position"...

Zuo Nazi now has a very strange... feeling of resentment towards Qingdeng.

This man actually made her lose face because of misjudging his strength and talent for 2 consecutive days!

This made Sanazi, who had a high self-esteem and a thin skin, really feel a strange shame.

Zuo Nazi couldn't help but look at Qing Dengyang with a bit of resentment.

But, at this moment!

Just when Zuo Nazi looked at Qingdeng with resentful eyes, Zuo Nazi was startled suddenly, and his whole body froze in place.

For some reason, looking at Qingdeng who was smiling and accepting everyone's congratulations... A memory picture that had been buried in the depths of Sanazi's mind for a long time suddenly popped up and flashed in front of Sanazi's eyes.

Three years ago, a certain man named Sakamoto Ryoma also won the championship in a grand swordsmanship competition, relying on his high-strength strength to fight all the way.

After winning the glorious championship crown, that person was also like Qingdeng now, surrounded by people celebrating his championship... At that time, Sanazi also surrounded him happily member……

Obviously Qingdeng looks nothing like that person, but at this moment, the figure of Qingdeng in front of Zuo Nazi and the figure of that person in her memory overlap magically...

In comparison, the radiance on Qingdeng's body seems to be more dazzling than that person's - after all, that person does not have such exaggerated talent as Qingdeng.

"It really looks like..." Sanako involuntarily murmured in a volume that only she could hear clearly.

Immediately afterwards, in the eyes of Zuo Nazi looking at Qingdeng, the faint resentment slowly dissipated.

Instead, there are complex emotions that are difficult to describe.

At the same time as the emotions in the eyes changed, a touch of loneliness appeared between Sanako's beautiful brows

...

...

Ever since Qingtou came back from the "VIP Stand", Chiba Eijiro has been scanning Qingtou with a strange look.

After a while, he muttered softly:

"Mr. Ju's 'potential'... is it my illusion..."

The expressionless Chiba Eijiro pursed his lips slightly, his pupils flickering with thinking.

...

...

On the other side of the martial arts seats——

The handsome uncle Momoi Haruzang, who is the "Momoi of the Position", glanced at the direction where Qingdeng and the test guards were in, and showed a wry smile filled with emotion:

"It seems that the next Chiba Eijiro... No, maybe a swordsman who can surpass Chiba Eijiro is about to be born..."

After leaving this emotion in a tone of self-talk, Momoi Haruzang put his hands behind his back, and led his disciples in the Scholars Academy to leave the martial arts viewing seats quickly.

Swordsmen of this level like "Saito of Power" and "Momoi of Bit" naturally sensed the "momentum" released by Qingdeng on the field just now.

Almost all the swordsmen who sensed the "power" released by Qingdeng just now have basically the same consensus-after Chiba Eijiro, Edo finally has another Chiba Eijiro who stands shoulder to shoulder, It is even expected to surpass Chiba Eijiro's peerless genius!

In this regard, some people are envious and others are jealous, some are happy and some are worried.

But no matter what kind of feelings people have for Qingdeng, a newly emerging bright star, after this competition, there is no doubt that they have deeply remembered the name "Ju Qingdeng"!

On the seat in the military training hall, "Saito of Power" Yakuro Saito comforted his new wife who was still sitting in the seat:

"My new wife, cheer up."

"The way of martial arts is to go through many setbacks and tribulations in order to become strong."

"You did a great job today, and your performance far exceeded my expectations."

"Let's go, it's time to go back. Take this defeat as food, and work harder to improve yourself in the future."

After finishing speaking, Yakuro Saito stretched out his hand and patted the broad shoulder of his new wife.

And just when Saito Yakuro's palm touched the shoulder of his new wife, Saito Yakuro's expression changed instantly.

"Huh?" Saito Yakuro quickly stretched out his other hand to touch the forehead of his new wife - Saito Yakuro felt that what he touched was not a human forehead, but a red-hot brick...

"My new wife, why do you have such a high fever?"

"Hmm..." The new wife widened her eyes with difficulty, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.

However, what he said were some vague words.

Seeing that his new wife was so burned that he couldn't even speak clearly, Saito Yakuro hurriedly shouted to the disciples standing around him:

"Quick! Take the new wife to the Ren Medical Hall!"

Jinyido - a famous hospital in Edo.

The couple who opened this hospital: Beibei Ren and Tachibana Saki are both famous and highly skilled doctors.

Under the instruction of Saito Yakuro, six apprentices from the military training hall hurriedly helped the new wife Hiroshi. Saito Yakuro personally led the team, and together with all the disciples hurriedly squeezed the new wife Hiroshi, who was already in a trance, away from the surrounding people. The flow of people is rushing to the Ren Medical Center...

...

...

As the spectators gradually left, the originally lively arena gradually became deserted.

In less than 20 minutes, there were only a few people left in the seats where there was no room for watching martial arts.

Luo Sha and the short middle-aged man were two of these few people.

"Hahaha... What a game full of surprises."

Rakshasa raised his head and let out a contented laugh.

"You help me keep an eye on my new wife Kuan." Luo Sha said to the short, middle-aged man, "see if he can survive the side effects of the 'No Thought Medicine'."

"If he can't make it through."

"If he survives, the time it takes him to survive the side effects will be recorded, which is also valuable experimental data."

"Yes." The short, middle-aged man nodded vigorously.

"Also—" Luo Sha went on to say, "If the new wife Kuan really survives the side effects of the 'No Thought Medicine' and survives, then remember to notify me as soon as possible."

Luo Sha turned his gaze to the arena ahead where there were no more swordsmen fighting on it.

"At first, I just wanted to use him as a toy to relieve boredom and entertainment, and also to collect the experimental data of 'Wu Nian Pill' for us."

"But I've changed my mind now."

"This new wife, Kuan... is worth a little bit of value to accept him as a subordinate."

The short middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "Master Luosha, are you trying to recruit that new wife?"

"Yes." Luo Sha chuckled a few times, and admitted openly, "This kind of person is willing to take a pill whose name is unknown for the sake of victory, and at the same time has a fair talent and strength in swordsmanship." People...if they are trained well, they may not be able to become useful subordinates."

"As you know, I, as a person, have always been open to those who are worth recruiting."

"In short, just do as I tell you. Do you remember all the instructions I just said?"

"Yes." The short, middle-aged man nodded vigorously, "I understand everything."

Luo Sha nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the northeast.

Northeast... This is the direction that Qingdeng and the test guards left just now.

Just now, when Qingdeng released the "Position", Luo Sha was also one of the small group of people who sensed it at the first time and showed a look of astonishment.

I saw Luosha stared at the direction where Qingdeng and the guards had just left with his deep eyes.

After a while, he spoke again to the short middle-aged man:

"...After waiting to go back, you can do one more thing for me."

"Help me and tell Eiichi Shimizu: The gambling debt owed by Takayuki Tachibana will be written off from now on."

"And from now on, the 'Qingshui Clan' must take the initiative to actively communicate with Ju Qingdeng and express their friendship."

Shimizu Eiichi—the leader of the most powerful Yakuza group in Edo: "Shimizu Clan" whose family Qingdeng and his family still owe him more than 500 taels of gambling debt.

As soon as Luo Sha's words fell, the short middle-aged man couldn't help showing surprise: "Don't you need to ask Ju Qingdeng to repay the gambling debt owed by his father Ju Longzhi? But..."

Before the short middle-aged man finished speaking, Luo Sha smiled and interrupted him:

"A talent of Juqingdeng's level cannot be missed no matter what."

"I've made a decision—Ju Qingdeng must be summoned to my command!"

"Eiichi was asked to suspend the debt collection on Qingdeng before. The original plan was to restart the 'debt collection team' after I finished my work in Mito Domain and returned to Edo, and then I could disguise my identity and follow along. Let's go and see what Ju Qingdeng looks like with the 'Debt Collection Team'."

"But now, it's no longer necessary."

"Different from the white body like New Wife Kuan, if you want to recruit people like Ju Qingdeng who want to be famous and have an official status, you have to do it step by step."

"Start by gaining his favor, and develop a good relationship with Ju Qingdeng, and then gradually figure it out."

"So don't collect that insignificant gambling debt. It's just a small amount of money anyway."

"For such a small amount of money, it will affect the recruitment of Juqingdeng, and the loss outweighs the gain."

Speaking of this, Luo Sha suddenly seemed to recall something, his expression paused, and his voice also paused.

After such a sudden silence for a moment, Luo Sha pursed his lips and let out a faint low laugh.

"Thinking about it carefully... I really have a very good relationship with their Tachibana family..."

While muttering, Raksha raised his right hand and parted the lapel of the kimono on his upper body, exposing his collarbone.

Below Luo Sha's right collarbone, there was a 3-inch long shallow scar.

Luo Sha caressed the scar lightly with his fingers, a look of reminiscence and a touch of shock appeared on his face.

"Tachibana Takayuki... If only you were willing to join us..."

"Until now, I feel sorry for having to kill you at that time..."
