I formed the strongest swordsman group

There is a saying that goes well: people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Ever since Qingdeng was no longer that unknown "dumbhead", Qingdeng inevitably encountered what almost every famous martial artist would encounter nowadays: being harassed by challengers who came to him.

Traveling around the world, increasing one's strength and reputation by challenging masters from all over the world—this kind of atmosphere was most popular in the Warring States Period three hundred years ago.

But with the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, Japan ushered in a long-lost and rare peace.

Although the Tokugawa family's "don't let the people below live too badly, but don't let them live too well" governing the country makes the lives of most samurai very difficult, but it is not so poor that even a bowl I can't even drink porridge, and I haven't been desperate to the point where I need to tie my head in my trouser belt and fight for fame and fame by beating life and death.

In addition, the social atmosphere has changed.

With the rise of capitalism and other reasons, more and more people, whether warriors or civilians, do not respect the so-called noble morals and warrior spirit.

Everyone turns to pursue money and enjoyment.

Compared with the generally poor warriors, well-clothed merchants are more and more popular with the public.

As early as a long time ago, many people criticized that "the wind of worshiping money has corroded the spirit and fighting spirit of the warriors", and some people tried to reverse this bad trend, but all failed.

All in all, under the influence of all kinds of reasons, this kind of "traveling and fighting everywhere" has faded away.

And yet—times have changed.

Land annexation, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the surge in the number of samurai made it increasingly difficult for the Edo shogunate and various feudal states to support such a large number of samurai... These social problems continued to intensify with the passage of time.

In the end——7 years ago, the "black ship incident" in which the American warship visited Edo Bay became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The "small peasant economy" on which the samurai class depended for survival was severely impacted.

The number of ronin is increasing day by day.

In order to earn a living, more and more samurai who are somewhat confident in their skills choose to seek wealth and wealth.

If I can defeat someone who is famous nowadays and make my reputation explode... then in the future, no matter whether I want to rely on martial arts to find an official position in the shogunate or a vassal state, or want to open A martial arts gym that preaches and teaches people, can get twice the result with half the effort!

Ever since, in recent years, the "Ancient Style of the Warring States Period" has revived.

More and more people are dreaming of "defeating a well-known warrior and gaining both fame and fortune overnight".

Whenever a martial artist in any place makes a name for himself and gains fame by relying on martial arts, there will be a large number of people who are overconfident or really capable, like a cat smelling fishy, ​​like seeing The flying insects that came to the light source swarmed towards the warrior.

Logically speaking, there should not be many people who have the guts to touch Ci Qingdeng, a "killer" like Qingdeng who has never suffered in the confrontation with the barbarian group and has killed countless powerful enemies. .

However, there are always some people who have a "what if?" fluke mentality.

What if?

What if I can defeat "Nioh"?

If I can defeat "Nioh"...then I'll be on my way!

Of course, there are also some people who really think that they can defeat Qingdeng.

Compared with Juqingdeng, I just lacked a little bit of luck and an opportunity to rise to the top!

In terms of skill and martial arts strength, I am by no means inferior to Ju Qingdeng!

If I switch identities with Ju Qingdeng, my record will definitely be even more brilliant than Ju Qingdeng!

Of course, there are also a small group of martial idiots. The reason why he decided to challenge Qingdeng is not for fame or profit, but just to experience the skills of "King Ren", broaden his horizons, and improve his martial arts level.

Since September, people with different ideas and desires have been coming to the test hall one after another, wanting to compete with Qingdeng.

Many people cherish their feathers, or simply don't want to satisfy these guys who want to step on other people's heads, let alone accept the challenge, and they don't even meet these challengers.

But obviously—Qingdeng is not such a person.

Such a good opportunity to replicate talent, why avoid it?

Although there is a risk of defeating the challengers and causing the title of "Nioh" to be dusted, compared with obtaining real talents and skills, illusory fame is not so important.

Therefore, Qingdeng would not refuse any of these challengers who came to him.

In the past two months, a total of 6 people have come to challenge Qingdeng because they have heard of the name and deeds of "King Ni".

The swordsmanship level of these six challengers... To put it mildly, they are a bit uneven.

Five of them were vulnerable, and Qingdeng knocked them down with a single sword——Qingdeng copied the new talent "Yingti" from a young man with a somewhat effeminate appearance and demeanor among the five.

For this new talent he has acquired, Qingdeng can be said to be both happy and worried.

Previously, Qingdeng's voice was a very ordinary baritone.

Although it is not unpleasant, it also lacks the characteristics that can catch people's ears.

And after having this "Ying Cry", Qingdeng's voice instantly became much clearer.

When getting along with people, a nice voice is often a good plus.

For Qingdeng, who is currently aiming to "marry Sanako and Kinoshita Mai" as his future goal, he is of course happy to see a new increase in his charm value.

And yet... joy is accompanied by sorrow.

Qingdeng can no longer remember how many people asked him: "Huh? Has your voice changed for the better?"

In this regard, Qingdeng always fooled with "Huh? Did you hear it wrong?" or "No, I always have this voice".

Fortunately, although Qingdeng's current voice is much better than before, the difference is not too huge, so Qingdeng's tricks are still effective.

Among the six challengers, only one of them was a strong man, which made Qingdeng suffer a lot.

He is a tall and strong man who grew up with a strong figure and did not know what he ate.

Qingdeng barely defeated him when all the buffs such as "Lonely Dan" and "Focused God" were fully activated.

After the battle, Qingdeng copied the "bear's waist" from the strong man's body to strengthen the waist's explosive power.

In this way, "Bear's Waist" became Qingdeng's fourth talent that was integrated and enhanced.

In addition to "Bear Waist", Qingdeng has two other talents that have been integrated in the near future: "Eagle Eye" and "Fitness". Their origins are relatively simple.

Qingdeng's high prestige and his various contributions after he became a teacher in the Examination Hall have increased the reputation and development of the Examination Hall.

As the reputation of the sword hall continued to increase, some good seedlings finally began to appear in the hall.

These new apprentices are excellent talents to copy.

Therefore, every newcomer in the test hall has such a similar experience - on the day he officially joined the test hall, he was pulled over by Qingdeng under various names to compete with him...

Qingdeng copied "Eagle Eye" and "Fitness" from two juniors who joined the test hall for less than a month, so that these two talents were also integrated.

The innate ability of "Fitness" is "Speed ​​up wound recovery", so it is impossible to feel its improvement effect intuitively.

The "bear's waist" and "hawk eyes" are different.

After the suffix "+1" was added to both entries, Qingdeng obviously felt that his dynamic eyesight and waist strength had been significantly improved!

When a bug flew past his eyes, Qingdeng could see more clearly how its wings vibrated.

When he slashed down the knife held high above his head with the strength of his waist, the power of the slash went up to a big level.

Just "+1", the natural ability has such a big improvement...

Qing Deng boldly guessed——

When "Hawkeye" is upgraded to "+5" or "+6", I might be able to see the trajectory of the bullets.

When the "bear's waist" is upgraded to "+5" or "+6", with a normal slash with the strength of his waist, he might be able to easily split a person in half.

Only the top "+8", "+9"...Qingdeng can't imagine how powerful it will be when his talent is upgraded to this level.

More than 2 months of talent collection and hard training...Qingdeng himself is a little uncertain about how much his current combat power has improved.

Closer to home—after Qingdeng finished his brief self-introduction, the captain of the Second Division, Tadashi Kanazawa, who is loved by the people because of his approachable personality, stepped forward first, showing a warm smile.

"Hahaha! Mr. Ju, I have admired your name for a long time! Hehe, Xiaoqin is really right! You really have a handsome face!"

"Xiaoqin?"

Kanazawa... Qin...

After this surname and this name were combined, the talent "photographic memory" was activated quietly.

"Ah... are you Miss Jin Zeqin's elder brother?"

"Hey, that's right!"

Kanazawa Chusuke grinned, and laughed with his hips on his hips.

"What a surprise! Mr. Ju, you still remember my sister! According to what my sister said, you and her seem to be nodding acquaintances who once exchanged ideas! We are not very familiar with each other!"

Qingdeng smiled slightly: "It's hard to forget such an outstanding woman as Lingmei."

Jin Zeqin——except for Sanako, the only warrior Ji who practiced swordsmanship in Xiaoqianye Sword Gym.

At the beginning of August this year, when Qingdeng had to single out the heroes of Xiaoqianye Sword Gym due to the people who admired Zanazi came to find fault, he once had a fight with Jin Zeqin.

Although she is a daughter, she possesses excellent sword skills and the courage to fight, which is difficult for most male swordsmen to match. Therefore, Qingdeng was deeply impressed by this daughter.

At this moment, Qingdeng recalled belatedly: It seemed that he had heard that Jin Zeqin's elder brother was a high-ranking official in Huofu Thief Kai.

"Orange."

At this time, a lukewarm, neither salty nor bland bass voice intervened in the conversation between Qingdeng and Kanazawa Chusuke.

"Ah, Mizushima-kun."

The captain of the 4th squad, Mizushima Rensaburo, nodded to Qingdeng expressionlessly.

"Well, long time no see."

"Mizushima-kun, thank you for your swift and resolute rescue that night."

What Qingdeng meant was, of course, that when Qingdeng was engaged in a desperate battle with the barbarian group in the Western settlement, Mizushima and his fourth squad rushed to the battlefield first, providing Qingdeng with timely and powerful support. This thing.

"I just fulfilled my duty and did what I should do. No thanks." Mizushima said lightly.

Only Kanazawa and Mizushima were the ones who took the initiative to respond to and greet Qingdeng.

The rest are as motionless as a mountain.

Suzuma Kimura, the captain of the 5th squad who believes in the "blood lineage theory", gave Qingdeng a contemptuous look, then looked away, and didn't even look at Qingdeng again.

The captain of the Sixth Team, Hizaka Motozo... This jealous "red-eyed monster" was also attracted by Qingdeng's beautiful voice and glanced at Qingdeng, then hurriedly looked away, and then used jealous eyes to steal Glance at Qingdeng.

After seeing Qingdeng's skin that was exceptionally smooth and wrinkle-free due to his young age, blatant jealousy burst out from the depths of Hizaka's pupils.

As Kimura's henchman, the captain of the 7th squad, Tsuchida Masayoshi, hastily expressed his loyalty to Kimura - he stared at Qingdeng with ill intentions.

Although Nobuyoshi Kazama, the captain of the Eighth Division, did not show such blatant hostility towards Qingdeng like the above three, he did not treat Qingdeng warmly either.

After the conflict between Mizushima and Kimura subsided due to Kanazawa's persuasion, he sat back in his seat silently, watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart.

Qingdeng silently glanced at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and then secretly said in his heart:

——The situation is really clear... It's clear at a glance who doesn't want to see me and who is friendly to me.

Only my grandson, Kanazawa, and Mizushima have a friendly attitude towards Qingdeng.

The other 4... huh.

Since Kimura and others treat him indifferently, then Qingdeng has no interest in putting his hot face on someone's cold ass.

If time permits, Qingdeng really wants to chat more with my grandson, Kanazawa, Mizushima, and the others, after all, they are colleagues who will work together in the future.

But unfortunately, at this moment, the door of the conference hall was pulled open again with a "wow".

Two middle-aged people walked through the opened hall door one after the other and entered the hall.

Even without anyone's introduction, Qingdeng can tell at a glance that they must be the current commander-in-chief of Huofu Bandit: Kurosawa Atsuyuki and Okubo Chudou.

It's funny to say that these two people have exactly the same body shape - like a 7-month pregnant belly with a big belly, even if you don't look down, you can clearly see the chin with three folds.

"Oh? It seems that everyone has arrived." Kuisawa scanned the scene in the hall and smiled, "No one is late, very good!"

As soon as Kurosawa finished speaking, Okubo beside him added:

"The meeting is about to start, don't stand around here, go back to everyone!"

clatter...

For a moment, Kanazawa and Mizushima who gathered around Qingdeng immediately dispersed.

"Mr. Ju. Come with me~ Your seat is next to mine."

My grandson hooked his fingers towards Qingdeng, and intimately helped Qingdeng point out his seat.

The seats in the meeting hall are all regulated, and random sitting is not allowed.

The team number is odd and people sit on the east side of the hall.

People with an even number of teams sit on the west side of the hall.

The unit Qingdeng belongs to is the third division, and the seats are sandwiched between "one" and "five".

In other words, Qing Deng had to sit between my grandson and Kimura Suuma.

As soon as Qingdeng's bent legs landed on the soft mat, out of the corner of his left eye, he saw Kimura Susuma sitting beside him on his left, moving his butt away from him.

A faint disgust could be seen vaguely on Susuma Kimura's face.

Seeing this, Qingdeng let out a silent sneer without caring.

...

...

There is nothing worth repeating about this simple "welcome party" held temporarily to welcome Qingdeng's arrival.

There was no meeting ceremony, let alone any flowers or passionate congratulatory speeches.

At the request of Kurosawa and Okubo, Qingdeng made another self-introduction in public.

Immediately afterwards, Kurosawa pointed out to Qingdeng one by one the points that need to be paid more attention to in the Huofu Thief Reform.

In the end, Kurosawa and Okubo jointly announced to everyone: Although the extermination group has been destroyed, there are still many remnants of the remnants running around. Although the unhealthy ethos of "brainless and irrational fighting against barbarians" has been effectively curbed, it is not yet time to relax...all of these.

In short, it is to warn everyone to work harder in the future and not to slack off.

After completing the above-mentioned series of links, this simple "welcome party" has come to an end.

Kurosawa Atsuyuki and Okubo Tadao left the stage first—they were both soft-spoken and had no annoying airs, so Qingdeng's first impression of these two officers was not bad.

However, Qingdeng did not forget the advice my grandson gave him just now: Tadao Okubo owed Kimura Suuma's father a big favor.

Therefore, Qingdeng did not relax his vigilance against Tadao Okubo just because his "initial impression" was good.

"Ahh~'It's not time to relax yet','Everyone must serve the public wholeheartedly'... These words come and go, I can almost hear the cocoons~~"

After Kurosawa and Okubo's footsteps moved away from the chamber, my grandson stretched vigorously while lazily standing up.

"Mr. Orange, do you have any plans for later?"

"What else can be arranged?"

Qing Deng shrugged.

"I'm going to go to the station of my third squad next, and meet with my subordinates... Huh? What? Do you have anything to do?"

Qingdeng suddenly felt the light at hand dimmed, and looked up—Suzuma Kimura looked down at him expressionlessly.

And his dog leg: Tsuchida Masayi stood behind him with his hands on his hips, full of air.

"Nothing."

Kimura Suuma said without sadness or joy.

"I just want to talk to you, the newcomer, about some of the rules you must abide by when you are serving the public here."

"rule?"

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows, and chuckled softly "huh".

"Thank you for your kindness. However, Mr. Kurosawa has just introduced the rules that must be followed in the Huofu Thief Kai, so I won't bother you any more."

"Master Kurosawa didn't explain everything just now."

Susuma Kimura said without thinking.

"Actually, there is an invisible rule in Huofu Thief Kai, that is, younger generations must know how to respect their elders."

"Oh?" Qingdeng's eyelids sank slightly.

"Although Huofu Thief Kai is in name, it is a special public security department that is responsible for handling all kinds of major cases and important criminals that are difficult for the execution office and the eight state governors to handle."

"But in reality, it is an undoubted army!"

"Army is organization, and organization requires order and discipline."

"If you don't even have basic seniority and inferiority, then what order and discipline are you talking about?"

Suzuma Kimura said this, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, a faint disgust appeared on his face.

"As a newcomer who just came to work today, you always use the tone of your peers when you talk to me, and you don't use any honorific words or honorific titles."

"Honorable title...such as 'Heavenly King and Laozi Commander'?" Qingdeng interrupted Kimura Suuma with a smile.

Qingdeng's "respectful title" caused my grandson next to me to laugh heartily.

"My words have not yet been spoken! Don't interrupt!"

Qingdeng interrupted his conversation for no reason, and was still making jokes, Kimura Suuma was obviously angry.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued:

"Everyone present is your elder, and they have served in this great army for a long time."

"I hope you will use appropriate titles and honorifics when you talk to us in the future."

"Let's not interrupt for no reason when the senior is speaking like just now!"

Kimura Suuma's tone was blunt and indifferent, and his tone of command was not at all like giving "suggestions" to Qingdeng.

At this time, a fly flew in from the window, "buzzing" and hovering over the heads of Qingdeng and Kimura Suuma.

Qingdeng rolled his eyeballs up without any expression, staring straight at the fly.

Kanazawa at the side smelled the discordant atmosphere between Qingdeng and Kimura Suuma, he coughed lightly, and walked quickly.

"Okay, Kimura-kun. When you speak, speak well, don't be so angry."

My grandson didn't stand idly by either.

"Okay, okay~ Kimura, I have never used such things as honorifics and honorifics to you, why don't you come to persuade me to show you more respect? Ah~ Could it be because of my family status It’s not much worse than yours, so don’t you dare to mess with me? I’m sorry, I’m sorry~ I almost forgot that you are the master of the dishes~~”

However, my grandson does not seem to be here to persuade peace at all, more like to come to fight...

Just when Kimura's glare suddenly popped out to mock his grandson——

"Senior...is it..." Qingdeng sighed softly.

What happened next happened in an instant.

The haori tether tied tightly to Kimura's chest suddenly broke.

A bright silver blade light filled the field of vision of everyone present in an instant, and then disappeared in the next instant.

Kimura's pupils shrunk to the size of a needle's eye, and the dark eyeballs narrowed in the middle, turning into a pair of crossed eyes - he was using his pair of crossed eyes to stare at some sharp object right in front of the tip of his nose.

The tip of the knife shone with a dazzling cold light.

"Ahhhh!"

Kimura, who came back to his senses slowly, uttered a series of screams, and subconsciously stepped back with his feet, trying to stay away from the blade of the ghost-fixing god.

However, because he retreated too hastily, he accidentally bumped into Tsuchida Masayoshi who was standing behind him.

The two screamed and both fell to the ground.

"Actually, since just now, I have been displeased with this "buzzing" fly."

Qing Deng smiled. When the word "fly" was mentioned, the tone seemed to be pointedly emphasized.

At this moment, everyone discovered that the Ding Guishen laying flat in Qingdeng's hand had two spots of "black ink" on the surface of the blade, and upon closer inspection - it was the corpse of a fly.

To be more precise, it was the dead body of a fly that was divided into two vertically.

"I wanted to wait silently for it to fly away, but I don't know what's wrong with it, but it just refuses to roll away."

"I have no choice but to use some rough methods to make it stop barking."

After finishing speaking, Qingdeng flicked his wrist, and with a skillful stroke of blood, he slammed the corpse of the fly on the blade to his feet.

"Um?"

Qingdeng looked "surprised" at Suzuma Kimura, who was still slumped on the tatami mat with his legs upside down.

"Put such an indecent posture in front of the junior... Isn't it a little too rude and too dignified? What do you think? Senior?"

Qingdeng chanted the last "senior" very clearly and resoundingly with incomparably clear enunciation.

*****

I think "flies don't stare at seamless eggs" and "a slap can't make a sound" are the two most stupid sentences in the world. Who is for and who is against?

My leopard is growing up again!

In view of the large number of words in today's chapter, let's vote monthly for this book! (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)

Regarding the plot of Huofu Thief Kai, I, Leopard Leopard, started to lay out the layout a long time ago, laying the groundwork for ambush.

But I believe that most of the readers definitely don’t remember who Jin Zeqin is and in which chapter he appeared... (Leopard Death.jpg)
