Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Chapter 304 Beicheng Sword Saint is well-deserved!

General sword schools have ‘secrets’.

Its function is equivalent to the ultimate move in the game, and the main focus is to kill the enemy and protect oneself.

The secret of Beicheng ancient swordsmanship is actually very simple, so simple that it can be summarized in three words.

Ping, breaking, and returning.

Ping refers to the swordsmanship skills of suppressing the opponent's moves and changing with flatness.

Breaking refers to the means of attacking like a storm, killing and breaking the enemy at the fastest speed.

Returning refers to exchanging false moves for real moves, changing stillness for movement, and returning the killing moves.

It’s just that in the period of Beicheng Sword Saint, these miscellaneous secrets and school routines were all abandoned by Beicheng Sword Saint.

In the later period, it became just a clean word-'kill'!

Yes.

Kill is all.

To put it bluntly, during the period of Beicheng Sword Saint, Beicheng, as a sword saint, had already read all the swordsmanship in the world and his strength had reached the peak.

When a person's strength and experience reach a certain level.

At a glance, you can roughly know what kind of person the other person belongs to, which school, and you can chop him down with a casual knife.

Naturally, there is no need to use sword moves, secrets and other fancy things.

Just draw the sword and go for it.

But it is undeniable that there are indeed many useful moves in the ancient swordsmanship of Kitasumi-ryu.

Just like this part of the fight with Tanimura Hiromi.

Kitasumi used the routine of "returning the killing move" in the ancient swordsmanship of Kitasumi-ryu.

To put it bluntly, it is to use the opponent's trick against the opponent, to deceive the real with the fake, to seize the flaw of the killing move when the opponent's strength is about to run out, and to bend down and cut open his abdomen directly.

It is actually very difficult to use this routine.

After all, there was no such thing as competitive kendo in the era of Kitasumi Sword Saint. Walking in the early Edo period when the society was turbulent, everyone carried real swords when going out.

If you don't handle it well, you will either rip the opponent's belly open or the opponent will chop directly into his head.

It is a very risky and unconventional forbidden move.

But it is also very risky.

So Kita Sumire can only catch Tanimura Hiromi off guard after he really uses it.

On the other side, the soft cushion outside the venue.

Tanimura Hiromi took off his armor and exhaled heavily.

Although it was only a short eight or nine minutes of fighting, he was really sweating profusely, even the messy ends of his hair were covered with sweat, and he was completely confused.

He thought his heart was dirty enough, and he set a trap for Kita Sumire on purpose, just waiting for the opponent to get into the trap.

But who would have thought?

Kita Sumire, a seemingly innocent and harmless child, actually pretended to fall into the trap, and in turn used his routine to seduce him into the trap.

This move was so dark and terrible, it didn't look like a routine that a 9-year-old child should have!

Thinking of this, Tanimura Hiromi couldn't help but curse Sakata Yukiji in his heart.

This guy was the first to fight with Kita Chengshi, so he must have known all the abnormalities of Kita Chengshi.

But this guy didn't report it! He chose to sink into the river and become a water ghost!

As a result, he was the unlucky one drawn, and became the second Kendo 7th dan to be killed by Kita Chengshi. It was so embarrassing!

Even Tanimura Hiromi was disgusted by Sakata Yukiji's "water ghost" behavior.

However

Looking at his fellow professional swordsmen who were still competing in the field.

Tanimura Hiromi's originally tense mood relaxed a little.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Although he was disgusted, at least he had these friends on the field to accompany him!

When it comes to the next round, it will be the turn of these good friends to come and accompany him, at least he won't be so lonely.

Tanimura Hiromi looked at other professional swordsman colleagues, with an indescribable gloating in his eyes.

He can't be the only one to be unlucky, right?

In fact, it was just as Tanimura Hiromi thought.

After the 32-to-16 match, they looked at Kitasumi who remained on the stage, and then looked at Tamura Hiromi who was kicked off the stage by the opponent and sat on the bench.

The professional 6th and 7th dan male kendo players present were stunned.

Their expressions when looking at Kitasumi were a little strange.

The main reason was that the battle between Kitasumi and Tamura Hiromi was particularly grand.

Many of them watched the second half of the battle.

As professional kendo players, they can guarantee that Tamura Hiromi did not let up at all.

Even though Tamura Hiromi did lose a point because he underestimated his opponent at the beginning, he did use all his strength later - the veins on his feet were almost stretched out.

But even so, he still lost to Kitasumi.

The professional kendo players present looked at each other in bewilderment.

You have to know that Tamura Hiromi, as a world championship player, is one of the top players among them.

Even Tamura Hiromi lost to Kitasumi.

Even if they face Kitasumi head-on, their ending will definitely not be much better.

This is going to be a disaster!

They originally thought that Kita Sumire was a fish, and they came here to fry the fish, and they could show their faces on TV.

But now the fish turned out to be them

The position change was too fast, it was too scary!

If they also lost to Kita Sumire

Then there is no need to think

The next day, many Japanese sports newspapers would go crazy on the spot and nail them to the pillar of shame - after all, in the eyes of laymen, they just lost to a 9-year-old child, and they would not care what kind of freak this 9-year-old child is.

Bei Chengshi, who was a popular figure just now, has now become a "jinx" that everyone hates.

No one wants to draw such a bad lot.

What's more terrifying is that Bei Chengshi, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to have noticed their gazes at this time, and was very polite, turning back and smiling at them.

This is undoubtedly a "jinx smile".

The professional players present felt their scalps tingling when they were looked at by Bei Chengshi.

After all, beating Bei Chengshi would at most show their faces on TV.

But if they lose, they will lose all their face as professional kendo players.

This is too unprofitable.

And it was precisely their thoughts.

In the subsequent exchange competition, Bei Chengshi really witnessed a "dragon fight tiger fight".

It was a real "dragon fight tiger fight".

Most of the professional male swordsmen present seemed to have suddenly degenerated.

The originally fierce and oppressive offensive and defensive battles became extremely dragged out.

The bamboo swords in their hands seemed swift, but in fact, they had no desire to attack at all.

Both sides attacked each other, and Bei Chengshi was a little puzzled.

Several times, Bei Chengshi saw that they could score by hitting the face or the body, but the bamboo swords went around and gave up the chance to score.

Bei Chengshi was confused.

Because their fighting style seemed to be eager to lose quickly and let their opponents advance.

But the problem was that the people who played with Bei Chengshi played normally, and everyone tried their best, wishing to "crush him to ashes" on the spot.

This made Bei Chengshi even more strange.

No? What do you mean?

When playing with others, they deliberately acted to let them stay in the league?

When playing with me, they were so energetic? Do you like to bully children?

Of course, he was not a fool. He just watched for a while and roughly understood what these guys were thinking.

This group of people probably feared the embarrassment of losing to a 9-year-old boy, so they planned to lose to a professional male swordsman of the same rank as them before meeting him.

In this way, they would not have to fight with Bei Chengshi, and they could lose decently in a fight with players of the same rank, which was killing two birds with one stone.

After thinking it through, Bei Chengshi had to sigh at their ideas - they really deserve to be practicing kendo, and the idea of ​​countering the moves was simply genius.

But this is a test of acting skills. If you act too much, the audience will find out.

For example, the other person's "face" has been delivered to your face, you can't not fight, right?

There were several kendo players whose acting skills were not as good as the other party, and the "forced promotion" almost broke the defense directly.

When they took off their armor, their faces were gloomy, which was even uglier than when they lost.

On the other hand, after the other losers sat down, their expressions were even happier than the winners.

Bei Chengshi was speechless when he saw it.

I didn't expect that not only he had the talent to be an actor, but also this group of professional male swordsmen had the talent to be actors.

But it was even more excessive in the later part.

Probably, those with good acting skills had already left the field.

Only those with poor acting skills were left in the field.

In order to lose the game, they could be said to be unscrupulous.

It seemed that the fight was fierce, and the sound of fighting continued.

But in fact, you gave me a face, and I gave you a body, but I just didn't get any points, and they were having a lot of fun.

Occasionally, a player who accidentally scored and advanced was so angry that he slapped the cushion directly, as if he was annoyed why he had just taken that point.

After seeing the later part, the referees of the All-China Fencing Federation couldn't stand it anymore, and directly raised the flag to indicate passive competition, asking these players to correct their attitude towards the game.

But it's quite normal if you think about it carefully.

Professional male swordsmen rely on their reputation as professional players to earn money and support their families.

The players present were either sixth or seventh dan, and most of them were in their thirties, belonging to the age of having children.

If life wasn't forcing them, who would be willing to perform an Oscar night at the exchange competition?

The professional kendo players in other groups were all trying to smooth things over.

But every opponent Kita Sumire met was quite serious.

After all, none of them wanted to lose to Kita Sumire and let their long-established reputation go to waste.

Even if they really had to lose, they would lose standing!

It was this attitude of "determination" that made Kita Sumire's group's competitive intensity visibly higher than other groups.

The crisp sound of bamboo swords colliding and the sound of Qihe shouting resounded throughout the venue.

Such a fierce battle naturally attracted reporters from all over the venue.

Even the cameraman responsible for the live broadcast of Tokyo TV had already filmed Kita Sumire's group as the main group.

There was no way, the other groups were half dead and half a day of duel could not find a winner.

Kita Sumire's side was full of competitive intensity, and they fought back and forth.

There was no concession.

Everyone was tense.

It was clearly a clash of bamboo swords, but the air was filled with an indescribable sense of solemnity.

It was obvious which side was more interesting.

Apart from this, the more important thing was——

"Kitasumi Minoru, who has mastered the swordsmanship of an unknown school, has currently defeated Tanimura 7th dan, Takai 7th dan, and Mori 6th dan. He deserves the title of Kitasumi Sword Saint!"

He exhaled heavily.

Seeing Kitasumi Minoru once again cutting off a 6th dan master with a clean and neat posture, Yamashita Jun's breathing became heavier.

Many reporters around him hurriedly took notes and passed on first-hand news to their own newspapers!

Kitasumi Minoru has already made it to the top 4! Just need to win two more games.

He is the well-deserved winner of this kendo exchange competition.

A 9-year-old child with no dan won the competition among a group of 6th and 7th dan kendo masters representing the Japanese kendo circle.

This is just like the sword saint who climbed to the top in the Edo period, stepping on the endless stream of excellent swordsmen like stars and stepping on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

There is no doubt.

Every victory Kitasumi Minoru won in the next game will create history in the sport of kendo!

Because no matter from the past to the present, there is no record of a 9-year-old child winning against a 6th or 7th dan kendo master!

Just as Yamashita Jun wrote on the paper.

Kitasumi's title of sword saint! Well-deserved!

Good night, everyone——
