I teach kendo in Tokyo

In the next few dozen seconds, Kazuma had to face the opponent's violent attack.

Kazuma relied entirely on his reaction speed for defense, and his sword skills and routines were useless under this attack.

Under this attack, Kazuma's defenses were broken through one after another. Although he was wearing armor, he still had several burning and painful spots on his body.

Obviously, the opponent's level 23 new Yinliu is not in vain.

But something very strange happened.

Although Kazuma was in a very awkward defense, he was extremely certain that if this was a life-and-death fight with a real sword, he would be seriously injured, but the opponent would die.

——Is it because I don’t want to admit that the other party is strong?

No, that's not right. You can tell just by looking at the numbers that the opponent is very strong. Before the fight began, Kazuma was mentally prepared to be defeated.

In this case, Kazuma still had the idea of ​​​​"I can defeat this person in a life and death fight."

This must be because of what my body felt during the collision of the bamboo knives.

Kazuma concentrates on feeling this "feeling" that his body has captured but his brain has not yet experienced.

Unexpectedly, in the next few seconds, he actually took all the opponent's attacks.

Then, Kazuma had a realization.

This man's sword has no heart.

This is a world where "mind and skill are one" really exist. In the past battles between Hema and those powerful enemies, Hema could feel each other's heart and beliefs from the battle.

Whether it was a sword fight with Nishikiyama Heita, a sword duel with Daimon Goro, or even a hand-to-hand fight with Ohta Juzo, Kazuma could feel each other's will.

Even the guy who fights "Human Tanuki" Tsuda Masaaki, who has no martial arts spirit at all, can still feel some vague things in the battle.

But the sword of the man in front of him, although the attack was sharp, had no will in it.

This is just pure sword skill.

Just when Kazuma was so convinced, the opponent paused his offensive and said in a show-off tone: "How do you feel, Kiryu-kun! Although your tooth spurs were sharp just now, I'm afraid you only specialized in this one move, right? What did you just do? My defense has no structure at all, I just rely on my reaction speed to resist! Give up! You can't defeat me now!"

Kazuma moved his arm, which was numb from continuous hits, then took off his helmet and threw it to the ground.

When the other party saw Kazuma taking off his helmet, he thought he was about to admit defeat, and immediately became happy.

However, Hema took off his helmet to let the other party see his contemptuous smile clearly.

When Kimura Nobumori saw Kazuma's expression, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Kazuma said: "I admit that your swordsmanship is very good, but that's it. Swordsmanship is not just about practicing skills. A real swordsman will pursue the integration of mind and skill. There is no life in your swordsmanship.

"No heart either."

While talking to Kazuma, he looked at the top of his opponent's head - it wouldn't be fun if a wave of chatter knocked the opponent into a memory kill state and exploded.

But there was still nothing above the opponent's head.

Although he seemed beyond angry, there were no entries that seemed poetic or cool.

Damn it, Mr. Kimura, really has no life?

You're so angry and you still don't remember killing?

Kimura Nobumori spoke: "This is the same old story again. People who are defeated by me always like to use this to excuse themselves! Isn't it good to honestly admit that you are weaker than me?

"One by one, the mental skills are one and the mind skills are one. What the hell are you talking about! Sword skills are just sword skills. They are just a manifestation of daily training and a kind of proficiency!"

Kazuma looked at Kimura Nobumori with pity.

Because he discovered that even if Kimura Nobumori was in an angry state, he still had no status entry.

It is very likely that this person really only practices swordsmanship and has no passion for life at all.

In some martial arts works, such a person may become one of the strongest due to the setting of martial arts idiots. At that time, he may be able to beat up those who are passionate about life while pretending: "Sword skills are so inconvenient." thing."

But not in this world.

So Kazuma spoke: "How pitiful. I can even see that you have only spent your life so far in the sword dojo. You don't know how beautiful the sunset at Lake Biwa is, or how beautiful the cherry blossoms in Itsukushima are. Gorgeous…”

"Speak as if you know!" Nobumori Kimura interrupted Kazuma's singing, "You are just a high school student who has never left Tokyo a few times!"

Kazuma thought yes, but in my previous life I was a senior business representative and I often traveled for business.

Of course he couldn't say that, so he responded sharply: "Yes, but in the future, I will definitely go! I will embrace life to the fullest. I will never stay in one place all my life. I will not become a squatter named The frog sitting in the ashram’s well looking at the sky!”

"You!" Kimura Nobumori was so angry that he had veins on his head, but despite this, he was still not in an explosive state.

He assumed the posture mentioned in the previous paragraph: "Forget it, it's useless to talk more. Let me break your childishness! Take it, Kiryu Kazuma! I will accept the plaque of your dojo today!"

Kazuma also yelled back: "Come if you can get it! Let me tell you, how pathetic you are with only sword skills!"

"That's enough!" A majestic voice suddenly sounded. Although the volume was not loud, it made Kazuma and Kimura Nobumori stop their movements and follow the sound.

The sound came from the main entrance of the dojo.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties pushed open the sliding door of the dojo and entered everyone's sight.

The old man was wearing light casual clothes, a soft sunhat, and a portable case for fishing gear. He seemed to be on his way to fishing.

A tall man in a suit stood behind the old man with a straight face. His broad chest made Kazuma doubt that this guy could lift two of himself with one hand.

You must know that Kazuma is considered taller among boys of the same age. Because of his strong muscles from practicing kendo, he is already strong and strong.

There is a dazzling golden status entry on the head of the man in a suit: Eternal Boxing Champion.

In Japan, many of the titles of such competitive events will be set up with a permanent title, which means that you can always have this title. It is usually given to those strong enough to be recorded in the history of this competitive sport.

But this is the first time Kazuma has heard about the Eternal Boxing Champion.

The strong man stood there, exuding terrible pressure, and his presence was explosive. No one could ignore his strong muscles that were about to tear the suit.

Compared to the strong man, the old fishing man walking in front seemed to have a much weaker presence.

However, this was not the case in Kazuma's eyes.

Even though the brawny man's eternal boxing champion status entry was brilliant, it was still not as scary as the string of entries above the old man's head.

The first entry is simple and straightforward: Juggernaut

There are no special effects, just two words.

The next one is "Dragon of Echigo". If you are familiar with the history of the Warring States Period, you will feel bad when you see this title. What's more, this entry has special effects. It has a shading pattern as the background. It is none other than Uesugi Kenshin. The battle flag of Kunshamentian.

These two entries are scary enough, but behind the old man there is a string of temporary entries with a time limit.

The first one is called the ultimate meaning of tea, which means "gaining peace in the tea ceremony".

The second one is called "Ding Dong Shamisen". The explanation is because the old man listened to a Shamisen performance this morning...

In addition, Jing Liuli, whom the old man listened to last night, also provided him with a BUFF, and the time is almost over.

Kazuma looked at this string of temporary buffs and felt very complicated - what the hell, not only do I need to be able to recite poetry, but I also need to be able to taste tea ceremony, play shamisen, and appreciate joruri? Is this the only way to collect all the BUFFs and make yourself the strongest?

When he was shocked, the entire dojo, including the Ji Dao in the courtyard outside the dojo, all bowed to the old man.

On the contrary, Kimura Nobumori did not recognize the old man. He bowed to the old man quickly when he saw others bowing.

The old man waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I heard about such a thing on the way, so I came here to see the excitement. There is no need to make it so complicated."

The Yakuza all straightened up.

Kazuma glanced at Shiramo Sougo, who was still arrogant just now, and found that the fifty-year-old uncle was now as submissive as a middle-level manager facing the chairman.

So Kazuma probably knew the identity of the old man.

But you still have to ask.

Out of politeness, Kazuma first introduced himself: "Tenuri-shin-ryu, Kiryu Kazuma, who are you?"

The old man smiled and said:

"Kanto Joint Chief

Soichiro Uesugi

I’ve heard about your name for a long time, Kiryu-kun. "
