I formed the strongest swordsman group

After living in the test hall, Qingdeng's days were leisurely after a long absence.

Qingdeng originally thought that - when something as serious as "thugs against the barbarians gradually became popular and openly attacked foreign businessmen" happened, someone from the upper echelon would come to summon him a few days later... It can be said that he is the most important person involved, Ask him for all kinds of detailed information about the "Snowy Night Chaos" in detail.

But who knows: the government office...is exceptionally quiet.

Qingdeng was not summoned for a long time, nor did he make any big moves.

There is no official response to the public, which has already spread throughout Edo.

Everything is in order...as usual.

Although he didn't know why the government was so quiet, since the government hadn't summoned him for a long time, Qingdeng was also happy to be at leisure.

February is the month when the Nanban Office is in charge of managing Edo. The officials of the Beipan Office do not need to go to work this month. As long as there are no accidents, Qingdeng and the others can take a leisurely one-month paid leave , will not resume work until March.

When the time came to February 1st, Qingdeng's body was finally completely healed under the blessing of the talent of "fitness".

All the wounds on his body healed, leaving only shallow scars.

Healed from injury, and is on paid leave, so he doesn't need to be disturbed by business affairs for the time being——Qingdeng can finally concentrate, practice hard, and improve his current strength.

His own mansion was destroyed... This incident sounded a wake-up call for Qingdeng: the "mysterious force" who failed to murder Anthony and others will definitely not let him off so lightly.

After the fat man captured by Qingdeng and Okita together was taken to the execution center and locked up in the prison house, the officials of Ginwei Fang immediately began to torture and interrogate him severely.

Yinwei Fang: The department responsible for the investigation and deliberation of referees.

No matter which country or period they are in, all feudal regimes have one thing in common: they have outstanding imagination in designing methods of "how to torture human beings".

The Fengxing Institute has a large number of torture methods that can make people unable to live or die.

In just a few days, the fat man's appearance changed to that of his own mother, and he might not even be able to recognize him.

However, even though he has been tortured to the point where he is neither a human nor a ghost, this fat man still keeps his mouth shut, and he does not let go, but he still has a bit of backbone.

The officials of Yinweifang were not in a hurry or annoyed - they had seen a lot of prisoners with such a bit of backbone.

They have abundant means, time, and confidence to wear down the fat man's fighting spirit bit by bit.

Although the fat man still refuses to say anything until now, Qingdeng concluded that this fat man is most likely a member of the "mysterious force" who came here to take revenge on him and burned his home down.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? As soon as Qingdeng returned to Edo, several arsonists appeared and burned his home down.

What is the name of this "mysterious force", who are they, and who is the leader... Qingdeng and others know almost nothing about this "mysterious force".

However——Qingdeng guessed: This "mysterious force" is very likely to be in the same group as the gang of lunatics who regarded him as a "national thief" and had already assassinated him three times.

That night, when he was fighting that Suehiro Moritoyo, Suehiro Moritoyo recognized him, called him by name, and called him a "national thief"... If we talk about this "mysterious force" and the one who is eyeing Qing Deng's head Those lunatics have nothing to do with him at all, Qing Deng absolutely doesn't believe it.

All in all—regardless of whether the two parties are in the same group or not, there is no doubt that Qingdeng has completely offended this "mysterious force" to death.

On the night Qingdeng returned to Edo, he set fire to his house impatiently... This "mysterious force" told Qingdeng with actions: We will not let you go!

Now that the opponent has already issued a "war statement", Qingdeng naturally has no reason to remain indifferent.

In order to be able to better cope with the retaliatory actions of the "mysterious forces" that are likely to launch again in the future, Qingdeng immediately restarted his swordsmanship and physical exercise after recovering from his physical injuries.

Now that he has moved into the trial guard hall, he lives under the same roof as Kondo and others, which makes Qingdeng's swordsmanship training more convenient.

There is a very spacious dojo available for use.

There are a lot of practice props.

If you encounter any fencing theory or fencing skills that you don't understand, you can immediately ask Zhou Zhu and others for advice.

After resuming practice, Qingdeng responded to Zhou Zhu and others immediately: he needs less sleep time, so he is used to getting up before dawn to practice, so he asked Zhou Zhu to allow him to use the test hall in the early morning Dojo.

Knowing that Qingdeng still has such a characteristic of "short sleep time", Zhou Zhu waved his hand very proudly: "You can enter the dojo to practice swords whenever you want!" Anyway, the door connecting the dojo to their house was never locked.

These days, Qingdeng spent most of his time in the dojo.

Practicing swordsmanship and body training hard, although hard work, but also never tired of it.

While concentrating on cultivation, Qingdeng did not forget to make use of his system——Qingdeng took advantage of the great opportunity that he could stay in the test guard hall for a long time now, and practiced swords with everyone who came to the dojo. Those who have not competed with them have competed again.

The result was a bit bleak... The talent was not successfully copied from any of the brothers.

Although the teachers in the test hall are strong, Zhou Zhu, Kondo, and Okita all have extremely powerful talents.

But the quality of the apprentices... is a little bit worse.

Qingdeng has now competed with almost all the apprentices who often come to the test hall to show their faces, and it turns out that none of them has a special talent...

But—although the talents could not be copied from the apprentices in the test hall, Qingdeng has copied 3 brand new talents from 3 visitors in one go these days.

These three visitors are none other than Arima, Inotani, and Ushiyama.

All the officials of the Beifan Institute are now on paid leave—the horses, pigs, and cattle are no exception.

The three of them happened to have no urgent cases on hand, so the three of them had enough time to visit Qingdeng who had no home and could only live in the Weiwei Hall.

The three of them came to visit Qingdeng together on February 2.

This day happens to be an important festival in Japan: Setsubun.

Setsubun, as the name suggests, is a day to distinguish seasons. The day before Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong is called "setsubun". the day before.

In ancient Japan, people believed that evil spirits were most likely to invade when the seasons changed, so in order to drive away evil spirits, the traditional activity of "scattering beans to drive away ghosts" was gradually born.

On this day of Setsubun, people will take out roasted beans and scatter the beans in various places inside and outside the house according to specific rules.

On the day of Setsubun, Qingdeng and others also participated in the "Scattering the Beans" activity.

Qingdeng followed Zhou Zhu and the others, shouting "Ghosts out, blessings in", while spreading fried beans all over the test hall.

At the beginning, everyone was still "scattering the beans" normally.

But at the end of the event, Okita, who became more and more playful, grabbed the fried beans that hadn't been scattered in his hands, and pulled Qingdeng and Kondo to play a "bean throwing contest" to see who can throw the beans farther .

Seeing this, Zhou Zhu not only didn't stop Okita, but he, who was a bit of a naughty boy, even joined the competition.

As a result, as expected——Qingdeng and the others were severely reprimanded by Abi.

"Who do you think these beans are fried hard?! Don't use them as toys! Pick them up for me!"

Ah Bi's roar made Qingdeng's eardrums ache a little until now...

After "Scattering the Beans" and it was afternoon, the horse, pig, and cow came to the test hall to visit Qingdeng and see how Qingdeng lived in the test hall.

Seeing the horse, pig, and cow coming, Qingdeng was quite happy.

One is to feel happy that the elders care about him so much and care so much about his affairs.

The second is to feel happy that I finally have the opportunity to test whether they have talents

For his three elders, Qingdeng has long been "savoring".

He has long wanted to try to see if he could copy any talent from them.

But it's a pity—they were all busy because they had to go to work, so it was only now that Qing Deng finally had the opportunity to copy his talents from these three people.

If you directly tell Arima and the others: I want to learn swordsmanship with you, it will definitely be very abrupt, and it will make Arima and the others feel very strange.

Because horses, pigs, and cows don't know much about swordsmanship, if they suddenly tell them that they don't know swordsmanship and want to learn swordsmanship with them, they will definitely look confused, not knowing what Qingdeng is going to do, why are they looking for someone like them? People who don't know anything about swordsmanship practice swords?

Thus, Qingdeng resorted to the trick he used to "deal with" Saito at that time——

Snapped! Snapped!

Qingdeng tugged hard on the hemp rope in his hand a few times.

"Master Arima, Mr. Inotani, Mr. Ushiyama, you are here at the right time. I recently practiced a new technique of rope catching. Can you come to be my training partner and help point out the shortcomings of my new technique?"

It is natural and reasonable to come to Arima and the others to "discuss" on the grounds of "helping guide the newly practiced rope-catching techniques".

Arima and the others, as official servants of the Dingmachi Hui, all have good attainments in rope catching. Qingdeng asked them to "practice rope catching", and Arima and the others would not feel strange or confused.

And Qingdeng was not lying—he had indeed practiced some new rope-catching techniques.

He integrated some grappling skills from some grappling techniques in his previous life into the rope catching technique, and Qingdeng also intends to find someone to test the power of his new technique.

The horses, pigs, and cows readily agreed to Qingdeng's request to "practice rope catching skills", and "discussed" with Qingdeng one by one.

Judging from the results...the results are quite gratifying.

Arima, Inotani, and Ushiyama all have talents. After competing with the three of them, Qingdeng got 3 new talents in one go!

It's just... the three new talents that Qingdeng got... are a little subtle...

Qingdeng first competed with Zhu Gu, and then copied the talent from Zhu Gu: "Skillful Hand".

[Talent Introduction: Fingers are far more flexible and powerful than ordinary people]

When copying this talent from Pig Valley...Qingdeng was actually not surprised.

In fact, he had already made corresponding psychological preparations in advance.

After all, he is also clear...the two titles of "Silver Finger" and "Golden Kouchi" that Inoya and Ushiyama have respectively in the flower streets of Edo.

With only his hands, Zhu Gu has made countless women in Huajie reluctant to part with him.

On weekdays, he is taciturn, but in fact he is very good at talking all kinds of nice things, and he can often coax the women in Huajie into offering a discount or free of charge for the bed.

After copying "Skillful Hands" from Inogu, and having stronger psychological expectations, when he was competing with Niu Shan, Qingdeng thought that it was very likely that he would be able to copy talents such as "better eloquence".

But unexpectedly, the talent copied from Niu Shan... its name is "Tongue".

[Talent Introduction: The tongue is far more flexible and powerful than ordinary people]

The tongue becomes more flexible and powerful...it can be regarded as a disguised form of eloquence.

After acquiring this talent, Qingdeng clearly felt that his enunciation became clearer and more powerful.

As for the last Arima... when he was tied up with a hemp rope... ah, it wasn't when he was sparring with him, Qingdeng was a little nervous and expectant.

Because he couldn't imagine what kind of talent he would copy from Arima who always kept his waist straight, turned only 90-degree turns, never squinted, and had a very strange eating posture...

In the end——the talent copied from Arima was not only unexpected by Qingdeng, but also reasonable.

The talent copied from Arima is "Iron Waist".

[Talent Introduction: The waist and limbs are not prone to strain, injury, and fatigue]

The waist is not prone to strain, fatigue, and injury... When he acquired this talent, Qingdeng understood why Arima could always keep his waist extremely straight as if he would not be tired.

This talent is quite useful, and anyone who has studied martial arts knows that - no matter what kind of martial arts, they all attach great importance to the waist.

The importance of the waist as a link between the preceding and the following, maintaining body posture and transmitting gravity is self-evident.

With such a talent related to the waist, it is naturally a great benefit for Qingdeng who is now stepping up to improve his strength.

Overall—these three talents copied from horses, pigs, and cows are not worthless, and they are all quite useful.

But afterward, when thinking about the effects of these three new talents...Qingdeng's mood was slightly subtle.

The fingers and tongue become flexible and powerful, and the waist and limbs are less likely to be strained, injured, and fatigued... If you think about it carefully, aren't these the skills that some "Red Streets" most desire to have?

Qingdeng felt that if he went to Huajie now, he would be able to quickly make many wandering girls remember him as a character in a very short time.

The visit by Arima and the others can be regarded as a small episode in Qingdeng's time.

After that, Qingdeng didn't encounter any major incidents these days, and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.

...

...

February 10——

Around 8 p.m.—

Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi-cho, Shouweikan——

Qingdeng, who was wearing a full set of armor, was holding a bamboo sword and was in a mid-section stance, confronting Kondo Haruka, who was also fully armed and also in a mid-section stance.

Because it was already night and the closing time was long past, there were only Qingdeng and Kondo in the dojo, and there were no other apprentices.

Qingdeng felt more and more that it was really cool to live in the test guard hall. Even after the closing time, he could still stay in the hall to practice swords, and he could also invite Kondo and others to accompany him in morning exercises like now. Or night practice.

"Ha..." Qingdeng let out a mouthful of turbid air, then held his breath violently, exerted all his strength, and then let out a resounding qihe, while stepping forward, he rushed into his own knife that could hit Kondo's. Once within the range, he slashed at Kondo's face with a knife.

Snapped!

The sound of bamboo sword clashing sounded.

When Qingdeng's bamboo sword was about to hit Kondo's face, Kondo promptly put the bamboo sword in his palm across his head, parrying Qingdeng's attack.

Seeing that his attack just now didn't work, Qingdeng quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from Kondo.

The first round of offense and defense between the two ended in a draw.

Looking at Kondo who had re-arranged his middle stance in front of him, Qingdeng adjusted his breathing while thinking to himself:

——Worthy of being the future head of the fourth generation of the natural Rishin-ryu sect... There is no flaw at all...

It has been too long to find Kondo's flaw...Qingdeng thought for a moment, then adjusted his sword-holding stance——Qingdeng slowly raised the bamboo sword in his hand above his head.

Looking at Qingdeng who switched from the middle stance of both offense and defense to the upper stance of "heavy attack, light defense", Kondo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then changed his stance of holding a knife—he put the bamboo sword Low, pointing obliquely at the floor ahead.

Qingdeng moved his feet, slowly closing the distance between himself and Kondo.

And Kondo didn't evade on purpose, he let Qingdeng approach and the distance between the two slowly narrowed.

The moment the distance between the two of them was so close that their swords could touch each other——

Qingdeng's Qi He sound burst out together with the sound of swinging the sword.

The slash from the above stance is not comparable to the slash Qingdeng sent out just now, no matter in terms of momentum or power.

This time, Kondo did not take Qingdeng's attack head-on, but quickly retreated two steps, dodging Qingdeng's slash.

The moment he avoided Qingdeng's slash, Kondo suddenly raised the bamboo sword that was lowered in the next section! A sharp straight stab came to Qingdeng's chest!

Qingdeng's eyes caught up with Kondo's sword speed - but his body couldn't.

Qingdeng, who could only watch Kondo's bamboo sword piercing his chest, took two steps back to stabilize his figure.

Because he wears armor and uses a bamboo sword that is not easy to injure, Qingdeng will not feel pain even if he takes Kondo's thrust firmly.

After looking down at the place where he was stabbed just now, Qingdeng put down the bamboo sword in his hand, smiled wryly at Kondo:

"Oh... still can't keep up with Kondo-kun's sword..."

"Tachibana-kun, I'm the one who should sigh." Kondo also put down the sword in his hand at this time, showing a wry smile like Qingdeng, "Your progress speed...is so fast that I feel a little unbalanced psychologically. "

"Compared with your current movements and strength, compared with a month ago, when you first entered our test hall, it is simply a world of difference."

Hearing Kondo's compliment, Qingdeng smiled, and then said in a half-joking tone:

"This is all thanks to the chaotic death fight with the 'Radical Anti-barbarian Sect'. I have accumulated a lot of experience."

As the saying goes: actual combat is the best training.

Practicing thousands of times against dead objects is better than practicing against a living person once.

In that "Snow Night Chaos Battle", Qingdeng and Saito first rushed left and right in the enemy group, and then started a death fight with Suehiro Moritoyo, who would lose his life if he was distracted for a moment ...

Qingdeng possesses the talent of "swordsmanship talent increased 50 times the average level of ordinary people". After experiencing such a fierce battle, with the blessing of "Sword Talent", Qingdeng has learned from this battle Nutrients... so much that Qingdeng couldn't help but feel astonished.

These days, when he was practicing swords in the test hall, Qingdeng clearly felt that his strength had leapt like a leap.

Qingdeng feels that the current self can casually beat the self who just traveled to this era a month ago.

After a fierce fight to the death, his own strength has gained such an exaggerated leap...Qingdeng couldn't help thinking: If he fought this kind of life-threatening battle ten or eight times, then he would be Isn't it possible to quickly become a great swordsman in a very short time?

"Hahahaha." Kondo smiled, "Tachibana-kun, your talent...is really the same as the chief executive, it's very enviable."

"How is it? Mr. Ju, do you want to practice again?"

"Of course!" Qingdeng put the bamboo sword back in front of him, and put on a stance, "Come on, Kondo-kun, let's continue!"

"Good momentum." Kondo grinned his big mouth, and then rearranged his sword like Qingdeng.

...

...

When Qingdeng and Kondo were having a lively "night practice"——

Edo, on a certain street——

"Goo... drink again... I want... a few more glasses..."

"You're starting to talk nonsense, and you're still drinking..."

"I'm... not... talking... nonsense...! Hiccup! Ugh...!"

"Hey, hey! Don't vomit!"

A young man who was still sane supported a drunk man beside him, and the two staggered forward inch by inch.

"Who said I was drunk...? I can still drink...can drink...!"

"Okay, okay." The young man comforted his friend who was completely drunk with a tone like comforting a child, "You are not drunk, you are not drunk. Follow me obediently, go back to your home, and wait until you get back to your house." When you get home, you'll have new wine to drink."

"Really...?...? Hiccup...!"

"Of course it's true. When you get back to your house, you can drink as much as you want."

After being coaxed by the young man in this way, the drunk man suddenly became more obedient, allowing the young man to help him go home without any further resistance.

At this moment - in front of the two, a young warrior with a sword on his waist and a young woman walked towards them side by side.

When they heard footsteps ahead, the young man and the drunk both raised their heads and looked forward.

After the eyes of the two caught the man and woman...they showed completely different expressions.

The young man showed astonishment, and looked at the man and woman with surprised eyes.

The drunk man was stunned... He looked blankly at the woman among the couple as if he had lost his soul.

The footsteps of this pair of men and women were very fast. In just a moment, they passed the young man and the drunk.

Until he passed by the couple, the drunk still looked like he hadn't woken up, staring at the woman's back in a daze.

"Ichiro...that girl is so beautiful..." the drunk murmured to the young man who was supporting him.

"Ha..." The young man laughed dumbly, "Shiro, don't you know that couple just now?"

"Ah...? I don't know... who were those two just now...?" The drunk asked blankly.

The young man turned his head to look at the man and woman who had gone a little further:

"Ah...you don't know, but it's normal. After all, you are not like me. You work in the tea house next to the Little Chiba Sword Gym, and you can see the people in the Little Chiba Sword Gym every day."

"The pair of men and women are the famous brothers and sisters from the Little Chiba Sword Gym: Chiba Shigetaro and Chiba Sanako."

The drunk didn't care about the Little Chiba Sword Hall, Chiba Shigetaro, or anything else—he only cared about that woman.

"Qianye...Zanako...?" The drunk laughed obscenely, "Hehehe...it's really...a beauty with a good name..."

The drunk man turned his head again, reluctantly looking at the back of the woman who had almost disappeared from his field of vision.

"It's so beautiful... It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman... Much prettier than those girls in Yutian House..."

The young man couldn't help laughing: "Of course. Chiba Sanako is 'Chiba Oni Komachi' and 'Edo's No. 1 Beauty'. How can those wandering girls in Huajie compare?"
