425 Kendo Team Battle
From the perspective of competitive sports, modern kendo has no genre in a strictly sense (or modern kendo itself is a self-made genre, which is composed of the essence of many genres), and the genres mentioned in the usual sense are ancient sermons.
Although Guliu swordsmanship sounds extremely mysterious, few people use Guliu swordsmanship in actual competitions, because not many people really master the subtleties. Furthermore, in essence, Guliu swordsmanship is originally used to kill enemies and win, while modern swordsmanship is a reflection of its competitive nature, which is to strengthen the body.
The two have different starting points, so the effects are naturally very different.
But even this is the case with the neon ancient swordsmanship, let alone the domestic ones. In China, you can’t even see a serious swordsmanship book. This kind of ancient swordsmanship is even rare. Even today, when the Internet is extremely developed, it is difficult to find related swordsmanship videos, let alone systematic ancient swordsmanship teaching.
The most strange thing is that under such conditions, Ji Xiaoxuan was able to show Okamoto's signature sword skill [Fish Leap] in front of everyone, which was derived from the meaning of carp leaping on the dragon gate. A beautiful slash forced Okamoto Kojiro to retreat, his eyes full of surprise.
【How do you...you...you can jump?】
The text translated by Miyamoto Musashi appeared in front of Xia Kun. I don’t know if it was Musashi or Alyssa so naughty, but even ellipses were typing out.
[Xia Kunjun, if Xiaoxuan really started practicing kendo recently, then your lover's kendo talent is far above you.]
I don't need you to remind you about this...
The owner of Okurashima Pavilion continued to translate Okamoto Kojiro's words, and Ji Xiaoxuan bowed and replied, "I hope you will tell Mr. Okamoto, I am sorry that I cannot tell you the truth."
Xiaoxuan was obviously deliberately testing Okamoto Kojiro to see if he would be related to Akamoto; in addition, he also wanted Okamoto Kojiro to become interested in her, which would give her a higher chance of getting the invitation qualification.
However, Kojiro Okamoto did not continue to ask questions, but changed the subject and introduced to everyone a little bit about the Okamoto Yishu [Fish Leap] technique that Ji Xiaoxuan just used, which is indeed very famous.
In reality, Xiaoxuan certainly did not have the opportunity to contact Okamoto Yidao Liu. She relied on the Chinese swordsmanship books she got in her dream cheating. Xiaoxuan could not freely shuttle in Xia Kun's dream creation space like An Ran, so she could not practice with Miyamoto Musashi summoned by Xia Kun. Her only training opponent was Xia Kun. Xia Kun relied on practicing Okamoto Yidao Liu and fought against Ji Xiaoxuan. Although it was not long, the two of them had extremely high learning efficiency, so Xiaoxuan had such a high degree of enthusiasm.
"I want to lie to others... You really have a small meal for Xiaoxuan, right? Look at the stupid loli, I'll say your Akun is partial."
"I..." Zhao Qingsi almost followed Yang Yaqing's words and asked Xia Kun together. Fortunately, her mind was faster than An Ran, so she immediately pushed Yang Yaqing away and snuggled in Xia Kun's arms. "Akun wanted to give Xiaoxuan a small snack. This is our family business. You can't talk here."
"I'm sorry, have you returned from time travel in ancient times??" Yang Yang Yaqing said she was completely incomprehensible to Zhao Qingsi's attitude. Could it be that her hatred for herself has completely surpassed the jealousy of competing with Xiaoxuan? Then should I be happy or sad...
Okamoto Yishu is an ancient sword technique used to cut people. It does not pay attention to scoring points like modern kendo. Many moves are fouls. For example, if Yuyue hits Okamoto Kojiro's jaw, it will be considered a serious foul by Ji Xiaoxuan - but Okamoto Kojiro is a contemporary kendo master and was hit by a girl who had just learned kendo for a month in China. This is a very corrupt thing. For Okamoto, he not only wants to win in this game, but also wants to win beautifully, showing the style of a kendo master, which is a matter of course in the public.
After Okamoto Kojiro finished speaking, the duel continued under the referee's promotion - this time Okamoto Kojiro took the lead in attacking. Of course, he could not use the ancient swordsmanship against Ji Xiaoxuan, a superficially weak woman. This time Okamoto Kojiro took a continuous attack, and each move was as fierce as a thunder. Ji Xiaoxuan was a little overwhelmed after two or three moves - physical strength was her weakness, which was a problem she could not overcome at present; soon after several rounds of confrontations, Ji Xiaoxuan was repeatedly beaten by Okamoto Kojiro and directly won the second one. Xia Kun sighed and regretful, and everyone applauded.
"Wait??? Why did Xiaoxuan lose?"
Zhao Qingsi was confused when she saw it, "Didn't Xiaoxuan hit Okamoto Kojiro?"
"Of course this will be divided into order and it is also related to the hit position. If you really can't understand it, just read the referee's flag words."
"The sword competition is really boring." Zhao Qingsi muttered, "Xiaoxuan played well in front, but lost inexplicably..."
Ji Xiaoxuan took off his swordsman's clothing and came to Xia Kun to sit down on the ground. While she sat down on the ground, Xia Kun saw Ji Xiaoxuan's swollen little toes. The temple asked everyone to take off their shoes and socks and enter. This is one of the etiquettes of the swordsman's temple.
"Sorry. His speed is too fast, I have no experience to teach you." Ji Xiaoxuan looked disappointed, obviously she thought she should have done better.
"Thank you for your hard work," Xia Kun was still concerned about her injuries, "It doesn't matter if you... Did you sprain just now?"
Ji Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, "Spray?"
"Uh...if it doesn't hurt, it's okay." Xia Kun wiped his nose. After realizing it, Ji Xiaoxuan gradually felt the numbness and pain from his little toes, and suddenly felt a little shame in his heart.
The Okuku Pavilion Master deconstructed the kendo competition just now in detail. While analyzing each move and one move, he also affirmed Ji Xiaoxuan's outstanding talent as a new kendo player. Xia Kun's translation is instant interpretation, which is faster than the Okuku Pavilion Master's translation, and Xia Kun was able to separate his mind.
Is it an illusion?
When observing a certain attack by Okamoto Kojiro, Xia Kun actually felt the [killing intent fluctuation].
[Killing Intention Fluctuation] not only allows Xia Kun to turn his murderous intent into aura to release it, creating a deterrent force, but also visualizes the murderous intent generated around him. It is a bit like the bandit king's domineering and domineering in seeing and hearing, but this ability comes from Miyamoto Musashi's practice and teaching, just like [Mind Eye], it is the basic qualities possessed by a swordsman.
The fierce fluctuating murderous intent disappeared almost instantly. Perhaps this was just a special ability naturally obtained by studying the ancient swordsmanship.
After tidying up here for a while, it was soon time for open kendo enthusiasts to enter the venue. They prepared special red cushion seats, each seat had their own seat numbers. Lin Anran looked very anxious. Their cushions were blue, representing the identity of special guests.
"It's over, I knew I had just gotten to the seat there..."
"Why do you say that?" Yang Jie looked at Lin Anran with a smile.
Oops... I actually forgot that there is an outsider here...
So Lin Anran had to tell the truth, "Because Teacher Okamoto would invite ten people to attend the Kendo Dojo to attend the ceremony at Neon, if there is a number, there might be a lottery, so..."
"Hahaha, it turns out you are worried about this... Don't worry! This kind of problem will not happen." Yang Jie told Lin Anran directly, "This invitation list is set within the order, and the lottery is just a small gift."
"Only determined?"
Yang Jie nodded, "There will be individual battles and group battle experiences in the middle of the Kendo Lecture. Although the invitation qualifications will be generated, as long as all the ten people participate in the competition... They are recommended students from the major dojos in the imperial capital, and they have interviewed Mr. Okamoto separately before."
It turns out that the so-called invitation list is just a pure gimmick...
However, everyone has considered this situation, but it is a bit unhappy to happen when it really happens around you.
How many people, like Lin Anran, came to experience the kendo only for a free neon week trip!
Probably all!
Lin Anran was panicked now.
"That senior Yang Jie, our temple..."
"You seniors can't rank in the kendo circle of the imperial capital, so it's impossible to have such a place..." Yang Jie gently patted Xia Kun on the shoulder, "But Akun, you can go up and experience it well. Neon kendo masters like to see talented children. Maybe Akun's kendo talent can be favored by Mr. Okamoto? Just like Xiaoxuan, who is hidden."
Senior Yang Jie seemed to have something to say, but Xia Kun didn't have to think too much, just waited to come on stage later.
Since Kojiro Okamoto can't speak Chinese, a lot of what he tells are very profound kendo knowledge, so every time he finishes one paragraph, Okura's owner will stop to translate a paragraph. This experience is very unsmooth, but everyone listens very seriously, except for the girls around Xia Kun who come to learn kendo purely for neon play. Zhao Qingsi leans on Xia Kun's shoulder, Lin Anran is behind her and presses Xia Kun's back. Both of them fall asleep in a daze, only Ji Xiaoxuan and Xia Kun are still listening carefully.
"This guy is really suitable to be a university teacher," Yang Yaqing couldn't hold on anymore, "I want to let someone sleep as I listen..."
"But you don't have a shoulder to lean on, so don't sleep."
Ji Xiaoxuan, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly mocked Yang Yaqing for no reason, which made Yaqing explode instantly.
"So, in the next stage, Mr. Okada wants everyone to participate in the interaction. We plan to hold two 5v5 team competitions. We hope that everyone here can sign up actively. In addition to the winning teams, those who perform well will also have the opportunity to get the invitation to visit the neon dojo ceremony provided by Mr. Okamoto himself!"
The words of Okuku Pavilion owner instantly made people excited. As expected, everyone came for the neon seven-day tour...
Everyone raised their hands one after another, including Lin Anran and Zhao Qingsi who were sleeping in a daze.
"This classmate, this classmate, and this one..."
As long as you observe carefully, you will find that the owner of Okura is choosing people. Those people should be the recommended students mentioned by senior Yang Jie before. After selecting the recommended students, Okura began to select real runners at will. He originally wanted to see Ji Xiaoxuan's level again. Ji Xiaoxuan's outstanding performance just now also fascinated him. It would be even better if he could absorb her into a female disciple of his own gym. Once the promotional signs of the beautiful swordsman were played out, the students who came to sign up would flock to it. At this point, Neon people and Chinese people have very similarities - everyone likes handsome beautiful girls.
However, E Ji Xiaoxuan didn’t raise his hand this time because he was hit by the game just now?
This is a pity...
However, Ji Xiaoxuan seems to have a few cute girls who are good-looking. Since they are the companions Yang Jie has found together, let’s call them together!
So Yang Yaqing, Zhao Qingsi and Xia Kun were successfully shortlisted.
“???”
Lin Anran sat alone on the mat, with only the smiling Yang Jie and the peaceful Ji Xiaoxuan accompanying her.
"Wait, I raised my hand too? Why don't you let me go?" Lin Anran looked angry.
"I have called three of you, it's not suitable to call you here..." Yang Jie smiled.
"You should think more about the benefits," Ji Xiaoxuan began to comfort Lin Anran, "Maybe this kendo hall does not have a kendo uniform that matches your model."
"I, I--"
Suddenly I smelled an inexplicable aura of sadness. Was Xiaoxuan released it himself?
Seeing that Xiaoxuan was pursuing himself by self-deprecating, Lin Anran was embarrassed to yell unfair words again.
But...it's also a good thing.
At least you don’t have to be disliked by Xia Kun because he didn’t study Jiandao well.
I've tried very hard, but he just won't choose me...
But I can explain this to Xia Kun in such a grievance, yes.
Wait...When did I become so bad?
Lin Anran was stunned for a moment, and then used the spiritual victory method to complete self-comfort.
Even if you learn bad things, it’s because of Xia Kun, a scumbag!
After all, I am a girl who likes Xia Kun so much that she can't extricate herself!
Lin Anran blushed and thought.
Xia Kun, Zhao Qingsi and Yang Yaqing, who were fortunate to be selected, are changing the swordsman uniform that suits her.
"By the way, Akun, how do you fight a group battle? Five people went up to fight? Is there any professional division?"
"I didn't understand this and ran up happily. I really admire you..." Yang Yaqing patted Zhao Qingsi's little head, "Although the team battle is 5v5, it only means five games, 1v1 and then the total points are calculated. What are you thinking, idiot."
"??? Can that be called 5v5?" Zhao Qingsi pinched Yang Yaqing's arm and asked Xia Kun, "Is this really the case? A Kun..."
Xia Kun nodded. The team competition of the Kendo competition is a 5v5 competition, which is the vanguard, second striker, backbone, deputy general, and general battle in order. The competition follows the rules of the individual competition. There was no extended battle before the general competition, and the winner was decided by the victory.
Just as Xia Kun and Zhao Qingsi were explaining, a sneer suddenly sounded from the side.
"I don't understand this, I still have to listen to a kendo lecture... mentally retarded children."
The person who spoke was a little fat man. She looked like a middle school student. In terms of actual age, Zhao Loli should be his sister.
"Who are you calling me mentally retarded?" Zhao Loli bulged her cheeks and got angry at the fat man. Nowadays, some people dare to scold her in front of A Kun?
I really don't want to live anymore!
