I formed the strongest swordsman group

——Uncle?

Uncle, that is, grandpa's brother.

Boss Kiryu once said that he had a relationship with Kinoshita Rin for nearly eighty years.

Calculated, Kinoshita Rin's age is at least eighty or ninety years old, and she is of the same generation as Boss Kiryu.

An uncle who is nearly a hundred years old... the time span is not ordinary! He should be a figure from the last century!

While thinking about what Kinoshita Rin said just now, Ayoto thought to himself half-jokingly:

——Is it possible that her uncle was also a skilled swordsman who was also keen on fighting?

Ainto had no idea who Kinoshita Rin's uncle was and whether he was a skilled swordsman.

However, he was certain of one thing - Kinoshita Rin must be a martial arts practitioner! And it’s very powerful!

Although she wore a gorgeous furisode that was far from the image of a "warrior" and did not carry any weapons, Qingden could clearly feel that she always exuded a majestic and heroic spirit!

Whether walking or sitting, every movement she made showed the neatness unique to a warrior.

She must have been a heroic heroine like Sanako when she was young.

"My lord, I'm extremely sorry."

Katakura Takanobu knelt on one knee, looking ashamed.

"Our incompetence has brought shame upon you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Asai Moriyasu, Makimura Taichi and other others followed suit.

They knelt down on the ground, lowered their heads, and apologized to Kinoshita Rin.

When Qingdeng saw this, he secretly spoke.

Although he had won the victory with ease just now, it did not mean that the opponent was weak.

Rather, it’s the exact opposite—the heroes of Calabash House are very strong!

It's just that Qingteng is stronger, so this situation of "they seem to be weak" is created.

Whether it was their individual skills or their cooperation with each other, the outstanding performance of the Huluwu heroes was deeply appreciated by Qingdeng.

Take any one of them and they are all outstanding talents who can serve as division captains in the Shinsengumi.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but sigh:

——A gathering of talents... Calabash House’s heritage is indeed very profound!

These outstanding warriors all obeyed Kinoshita Rin... This shows that Kinoshita Rin's prestige is not generally high!

Kinoshita Lin smiled calmly:

"You don't have to blame yourself, just keep your heads up."

"Victory or defeat is standard issue."

"What's more, losing to Nioh is not a shameful thing."

After saying that, she waved her hand.

"Thank you for your hard work. Kuro stays, and everyone else should go down and rest first."

…

…

As Katakura Takanobu and others filed out, only Aonto, Kinoshita Rin, Kiryu boss and Kinoshita Mai were left in the dojo.

"Tachibana Anyi, sit close here."

Kinoshita Rin waved to Qingto.

Qingdeng hurried forward.

"Closer."

Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then continued to move forward.

"No matter how close."

"ah?"

Qingteng moved little by little to Kinoshita Rin.

"Well, sit down. Relax, don't be formal."

Although she said "you don't have to be formal", Qingdeng still put his knees together and sat upright.

At Kinoshita Rin's request, Qingto and her were so close that their knees almost touched each other.

As the distance got closer, the other person's face came into Qingdeng's eyes more clearly.

Her body is really petite, like a large doll.

She was also sitting on her knees and straightening her back, but her forehead was just level with Qingdeng's stomach.

Qingdeng felt that she weighed less than 40 kilograms.

It seemed like just one sneeze could knock her to the ground.

Her face is covered with traces of time - large and small wrinkles, sagging skin, faint age spots - like the loess soil eroded by strong winds and riddled with thousands of ravines.

However, her eyes are beautiful.

Black and white are clear, his eyes are firm and sharp, and his eyes are shining with vitality.

These eyes formed a sharp contrast with the layers of wrinkles around them... just like the bright moon in the dark night.

Qingneng finally understood - all special beings like Boss Kiryu and Kinoshita Rin who "are old people but don't look like old people" must have radiant eyes!

"It's troublesome to always call you 'Ju Ayi'. Can I just call you 'Aki'? It's easier to say that way."

Qingdeng immediately said:

"Of course, please do it!"

To be fair... Although he has mixed feelings, Qingdeng has to admit that compared to his Miao character (orange), common name (Qingdeng) and real name (Shengqing), his current official position (Aki Shou) is easier to pronounce. Much more.

"Orange" (Ta Chi Ba Ra) and "Sheng Qing" (Mo Ri Ha Ru) both have 4 syllables, and "Qing Deng" (A O To) has 3 syllables.

Aki only has two syllables (A Ki), and you can pronounce these two sounds without opening your mouth widely or twisting your tongue, so it is particularly catchy.

Therefore, many people have recently begun to call him "An Yi" or "A Shuu" instead.

Even Qingdeng himself has gradually become more self-reliant in chanting "Juan Yi".

"So... An Yi, you did a good job."

She smiled peacefully.

"It's rare to have such achievements in the long martial arts at the age of 21."

"In my long life, I know only two geniuses who can achieve such achievements at such a young age... except you."

"As Jiulang's last disciple, you have lived up to your master!"

I don't know why, but when she said the words "have lived up to your master", she suddenly emphasized her tone.

"It's a blessing to be able to witness the inheritance of Jiulang's mantle before he dies."

Speaking of this, she lowered her eyes and glanced at Vairocana, which was placed beside Qingdeng's legs intentionally or unintentionally.

"Aki, you must continue to work hard and improve yourself."

"Don't let down Jiulang's cultivation of you, and don't let down this ancient sword."

The sudden scene of "elders praising juniors" made Qing Deng feel a little at a loss, but he still replied solemnly:

"Yes! I have never known what "laxity" and "degeneration" are!"

Kinoshita Lin nodded gently.

"Very good, good momentum!"

"It's a pity... you are already the master of a city and a place."

"Otherwise, I really want to recruit you!"

Qing Deng smiled slightly and said politely, "You are too kind."

Although he seemed to be listening carefully, his mind had already drifted elsewhere.

(In my long life, I know only two geniuses who can achieve such achievements at such a young age... except you.)

He was very concerned about what Kinoshita Lin just said!

He has made countless efforts, gone through countless hardships, shed blood and sweat, and with the help of the system, he finally has the current realm.

And now, Kinoshita Lin told him: There are two people as strong as him...

——Who are these two people? What are their backgrounds?

"...Miss Kinoshita."

Qing Deng really couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart.

Driven by curiosity, he raised this question.

Kinoshita Lin laughed after hearing it.

"Well... Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. An Yi, do you know 'Kinoshita Genichi'?"

Qing Deng replied subconsciously:

"How could I not know the famous 'Hidden Sword Saint'?"

Kinoshita Lin said lightly:

"Kinoshita Genichi is the uncle I just mentioned."

"..."

Silence fell between the two.

The crow's cry from afar seemed particularly harsh.

Qing Deng's eyes widened, and his expression was dominated by strong shock.

The same person with an unbelievable look was Kinoshita Mai.

Facing the gazes of Qing Deng and Kinoshita Mai, "Ah? Are you kidding?", Kinoshita Rin smiled:

"What? Do you think I'm lying?"

Qing Deng stammered:

"No, I just... didn't react..."

At this time, Kiryu boss beside him smiled and added at the right time:

"Tachibana-kun, the master is not lying. She is indeed the great-niece of Kinoshita Genichi, the real great-niece."

With the guarantee of Kiryu boss, Qing Deng could only choose to believe it no matter how shocked he was.

He blinked hard and looked at Kinoshita Rin carefully.

In Japan, "Kinoshita" is not a rare surname, and it can even be said to be quite popular.

Therefore, even if Kinoshita Genichi and Kinoshita Rin have the same surname, Qing Deng would find it difficult to connect them together.

Kinoshita Genichi - he can always be found in unofficial history and folk rumors.

What "mediating the conflict between the two major ninja villages", what "single-handedly attacking and destroying the Iga Ninja Village", what "Kinoshita Genichi is the descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi"... all kinds of legends are dazzling and difficult to distinguish true from false.

It is said that even in European countries thousands of miles away, Kinoshita Genichi's heroic deeds are circulating.

Because of his ridiculous strength, but extremely mysterious and erratic whereabouts, he was given the title of "Hidden Sword Saint".

The only thing that can be confirmed is probably that "there is such a person".

"Grandma, that Kinoshita Genichi is really mine... my..."

Kinoshita Mai was stuck.

She was probably thinking about what name to use to call Kinoshita Genichi.

Grandma's great-uncle... this generation is really too old! So old that I don't know how to call him!

Judging from Kinoshita Mai's current appearance... she, like Qing Deng, did not know until this moment that the legendary "Hidden Sword Saint" had such a special connection with her.

Qing Deng has become accustomed to Kinoshita Mai's "ignorance".

This girl really knows nothing!

I don't know if she is too careless or because Kinoshita Lin, Boss Kiryu and others have protected her too well.

"Uncle... likes to meddle in other people's business."

Kinoshita Lin smiled helplessly.

"Many times he even makes trouble for no reason."

"No matter whether this matter is related to him or whether this matter will offend many people, as long as he is in the mood, he always has to get involved."

"For this reason, he has made many enemies."

"There are so many people who want to crush him to ashes, and even pass on this hatred from generation to generation."

"Awu, you used to be such a careless child, you don't need me to help you remember, right?"

Kinoshita Mai's face immediately blushed.

"If I tell you the full story of the 'Hidden Sword Master' and our family, I'm afraid you will accidentally slip up and cause trouble and disaster."

"That's why, for your safety, I kept it secret from you."

"I originally planned to wait until you grow up a bit before telling you the truth... Anyway, I will take advantage of this opportunity today to explain it to you in one breath."

She paused to formulate her words.

After a while, she spoke calmly:

"Uncle, he is a true martial arts genius."

As she spoke, she looked filled with pride.

"For the first time I held a sword, I easily defeated my senior brother who has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years."

"It only took a very short time to master almost all the swordsmanship schools in the world."

"Because he wanted to see the vastness of the world, he ignored the shogunate's 'lockdown order' and secretly boarded a Dutch merchant ship to cross the ocean to Europe."

"He has been traveling in the West for many years, visiting many countries such as the Netherlands, England, and France... During this period, he still did not change his personality of 'liking to make trouble for nothing' and 'keen on causing trouble for himself.'"

"It is for this reason that his heroic deeds are spread among the people of European countries."

Speaking of this, Kinoshita Lin seemed to have remembered something, and the conversation suddenly changed:

"An Yi, according to Kuro, you have mastered the 'Breath of the Source', right?"

Qingden nodded.

The next moment, Kinoshita Rin once again said something shocking:

"The 'source' of 'Source of Breathing' is taken from Bo Gong's name. The creator of this great breathing method is none other than Bo Gong."

After hearing this, Qingto finally couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and stared at Kinoshita Rin with his mouth open, speechless for a long time.

As a fellow warrior, he naturally knows how great the "Breath of Source" is.

Simply changing the rhythm of your breathing can improve your concentration.

If you practice to the peak, you can even use it as a medium to enter the extremely powerful "selfless state".

Although Qingdeng is very powerful today, he has not yet reached the state of "creation".

Going from 1 to 100 is great, but it is just an extension of the previous ones.

Going from 0 to 1 is a real act of genius!

"An Yi, if I remember correctly, my uncle already had the inspiration for breathing techniques when he was your age. Within a few years, he developed the 'Breath of the Source'."

"As for another person of the same age who also has amazing strength... An Yi, you should also know him."

Qingdeng asked half-jokingly:

"Since the first person is the 'Hidden Sword Master' Genichi Kinoshita, then the second person shouldn't be the 'Eternal Sword Master' Ogata Issei, right?"

"Yes, you got it right."

"..."

Silence fell again.

After a while, Qingdeng swallowed hard and asked cautiously:

"Miss Kinoshita, you are not going to say: 'Actually Ogata Issei is my older brother', are you?"

Kinoshita Lin laughed dumbly:

"That's not the case."

"My brother... died a long time ago because he went astray."

"But... Ogata and I do have a certain connection."

"All in all, I know Ogata and have a pretty good relationship with him."

"About the legendary deeds of the 'Eternal Sword Master', I don't need an old woman to explain them one by one, right? You should have heard enough since you were young."

"My uncle developed the 'Breath of the Source' at a young age, and Ogata didn't give in too much."

"When we were young, there was no concept of 'momentum' at all."

"At that time, we only knew that the top strong men would exude an astonishing, breathless aura."

"As for what this aura is and its specific uses, no one has done systematic induction and research."

"It was Ogata who took action to change this hazy and hesitant situation."

"He named this 'aura' 'Shi' and developed methods to cultivate 'Shi' and utilize 'Shi'."

"It can be said that the concept of 'shi' that is so popular today came from Ogata!"

"But he is too low-key and only wants to live a peaceful life."

"Obviously he is a developer, but he never announces it to the outside world."

"To this day, few people know that it was the 'Eternal Sword Master' who developed the 'Shi'"

"By the way, as the person who developed 'Shi', Ogata's use of 'Shi' has reached an appalling level."

"He can concentrate his 'power' on one point and then explode it instantly."

"It is no exaggeration to say that his 'power' has reached the realm of heaven and man!"

"Even if there is no concentrated explosion, just by releasing the 'power' in an ordinary way, he can make most people faint due to being unable to withstand the pressure."

"As long as he has that will, there is no way a weak-willed person can stay awake in front of him!"

PS: Some book friends reported: Even with all the elites in Calabash House, they can’t defeat Qingdeng, so how are they going to deal with the Fa Zhu Party?

It’s actually very simple – load up the gun! If Katakura Takanobu and others each had a revolver, do you think Aoto would dare to shoot eight of them?
