Chapter 90 Taking the Sword as the Technique and the Sword as the Way
While Yagyu Kashima and Masako Minami were discussing how to deal with their son’s Martial Soul Prize bonus in bed, Yagyu Motoka was in the middle of the gym, holding a long sword, gently stroked the sword body over and over again.
In the virtual game world in his previous life, he was one of the representative figures of the Crazy Sect. Whether it was the Eight Desert Rampage Knife or the Rifting Array Gun, he was a wild and rampant martial art.
Only the White Rainbow Guan Ri Sword is different!
The swords of the Eight Deserts are complex and bold, and the White Rainbow Sword is simple and direct.
The way is simple!
If the Eight Wilderness Rampage Sword requires absolute control of the human body, then the White Rainbow Sword is the absolute concentration of the spirit.
Yayoi Yuuto slowly closed his eyes, and his breath gradually condensed.
The outside voices were blocked one by one, and the inner spirit gradually became silent.
In the world of Yuki Yuki's mind, everything dimmed until it was completely dark. There was only one sword, which was clearly visible. This is a kind of visualization. By visualizing a certain object, god, natural environment, etc., you can place your spiritual will in it, thereby obtaining a specific mental state. For example, visualizing a clear pond water can purify distracting thoughts; visualizing the bright moon can be naturally cool; visualizing the sun - it is recommended not to die casually.
When Yagyumoto and his long sword were held, even if his will was condensed on the sword, he would definitely not achieve such an effect.
The reason is very simple. The knife is bent! Maybe the curve of the knife is conducive to chopping, maybe the shape of the knife is conducive to exerting force, maybe the knife can be used on one side and on the back of the knife to get a stronger blade body than the sword. However, the knife is bent, and even if there is a so-called straight knife, it is still unbalanced and not really straight.
Tao is taken in straight! Even if the sword technique reaches the pinnacle, it is still just about the skill of Tao. Only a straight sword can enter Tao.
When the spirit of a warrior is placed on weapons, the shape of the weapon will also affect the spirit of the warrior. Only by relying on a simple and straight sword can the spirit be condensed without flaws. The reason for the gentleman wearing a sword comes from this. However, the sword cannot provide this kind of purifying the spirit due to its own form and people's understanding of it.
In Yagyu Motoka's spiritual world, his spiritual will condensed into a spiritual sword that was exactly the same as the "White Rainbow" in his hand.
At this moment, he was deeply aware of this. Compared with holding the "Snow Washing" in his hand, Yagyu Motoka's will was unprecedentedly pure and condensed, and his perception was twice as sensitive as he could - all the distracting thoughts were gone.
At this moment, the unprecedented pure will brings inexplicable intuition. Although I don’t know where this intuition comes from, Yagyu Motoka just believes that—this is right.
What exactly is internal energy? Originally, Yagyumoto and Baisi were puzzled, but now, in the pure mind, there is no need to think at all, and the answer automatically emerges from the heart! Internal energy is will, which does not come from the brain. After thinking and processing the commands of processing, it comes from the entire body, but the initial and most fundamental will!
At this moment, Yagyu Tomoto understand why he could not feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the sun and moon like in the novel, because there was never these things in the world, everything was the will!
"The Tao follows nature, and does not depend on actions. The breathing is in harmony, the middle is embracing, the mind is clear and empty, and the silence is always shining." This is the method of meditation and reflection of the mind that Yasuo Yuanhe has always used, and it is still right until this place. But the next sentence-
The sentence "The innate Qi comes from nothingness" deceived many practitioners from ancient times to the present! Nothing can come from nothingness at all. The feeling that something seems to be pouring directly into the body from the top gate is an illusion at all. There is no innate Qi, only the will awakening of human cells and tissues!
People have countless thoughts and distracting thoughts, and different body tissues of the human body also have inconsistent demands, resulting in the fact that the cells do not have a unified, bottom-level, pure will. Instead, they are randomly integrated and fed back into the brain to form the initial desire of human beings, which is the so-called animal nature/animal nature. This animal nature presents two characteristics at the same time. On the one hand, in order to maintain its own survival and survival better, it presents egoism; on the other hand, for the continuation of populations, it presents altruism. In the process of adapting to society, the two characteristics are distorted again to form human nature that meets the requirements of society.
Finally, with human nature and animal nature, human beings are once again educated by the traditional culture of society, or the characteristics of civilization, forming the so-called personal worldview. An obvious example is that Americans are full of adventurism and opportunism, while Chinese people emphasize more on social stability and sustained development. These are all behavioral patterns of a member of the civilization determined by the characteristics of civilization. Of course, it is not the same for everyone, but as a big data sample, the distinctive characteristics are very obvious.
On the one hand, the animal nature/animal altruism at the bottom requires that individuals make certain sacrifices for the survival of the population. The human nature at the middle level requires that behaviors comply with moral norms. The combination of the two can extract the noble morality of the upper class. The so-called noble morality is nothing more than the human nature that conforms to the interests of the population and the human nature that meets the requirements of society. At the same time, satisfying both is noble.
For example, college students who sacrificed their lives to rescue children who fell into the water are undoubtedly noble. Their behaviors are in line with the instinctive requirements of continuing the population and caring for minors in their own ethnic groups - such behaviors are common in group animals, and at the same time, they are in line with the human morality of society. The so-called sacrificing oneself to achieve others is the most praised aspect of social morality, because the lowest spirit of the entire society is to be maintained by such behaviors that give up part of one's own interests and use them to help others. A society that emphasizes total selfishness is actually difficult to develop.
You can think about it carefully. The initial material exchange was actually the mutual help of the ancestors, and it was not as utilitarian as modern people imagined. Why did this business be made or that business be lost? In the minds of the ancestors, there was no such dirty thought. Helping others is happiness, and the growth of the tribe is everything. Now we call it simple or stupid, but in an era when humans are far from being called the overlord of the earth, the weak ancestors survived by supporting each other.
The so-called innate means the will of the cell tissue itself, which has not been processed by the brain, has not been distorted by knowledge, and is the most primitive and instinctive resonance. Cells are alive, and cells have their own lives and their own will. Perhaps these tiny lives are inconspicuous, but they are the cornerstones of the human body.
When is modern people closest to innate? Not counting as babies, there are only two situations closest to innate. The first is that when having sex, the instinct from the reproduction of populations will call for the joint efforts of all cells in the body; the second is the moment of survival in death, the desire to survive will also stimulate all cells in the human body to work hard at the same time, and the baby state can actually be classified into the second.
Innate is the instinctive will of human cells, rather than a twisted decision after layers of thinking. Innate is straight, simple, and pure. If there is anything in a weapon that can make people approach innate, touch innate, only swords!
Yagyu Motoka's power originally came from the moment of awakening and moved his human nature and instinctive beast nature. The acquired will of the brain communicated with the innate will of the human body at that moment, regardless of each other, and created a wonderful bridge of introspection. Then, in the moment of facing the bullet and the crisis of life and death, the bridge became stronger and stronger, and thus internal strength was produced. In fact, it was not internal strength, but the resonance state of the whole body cell will of survival was preserved partly and became a seed. Whenever a part of the body tissue was awakened, the seed would thrive.
Why did Yayoi Motoka feel that his internal strength is getting bigger and stronger, and even interfere with the internal operations of other people's bodies? Why did Yayoi Motoka feel that he has encountered a bottleneck recently and is struggling, so he was so excited to see the drugs in the Swordsman Club?
That's because under normal conditions, all the cells and tissues that he can awaken have been awakened, such as skin and muscles, while other tissues such as internal organs cannot yet awaken. Therefore, Yagyu Motowa has a feeling of encountering a bottleneck.
Why can drugs help Yagyuen and awaken the body tissue? Just like a person is sleeping, suddenly a needle pierced him, and he naturally wakes up and jumps up. The same is true for cells. When Yagyuen and practice iron cloth shirts, under the stimulation of the drug, the skin tissue cells are temporarily stimulated and enhanced their activity. However, Yagyuen's intuition state can receive signals from the skin tissue, replenish nutrients for the skin in time, sort out the structure, so that these cells have the capital to continue to be active instead of sleeping again.
Standing in the middle of the gym, Yagyu Motoka breathed gradually and on the surface of the body, the pores began to open, and the slightest exchange of air was carried out at the pores, replacing the mouth and nose, providing the body's oxygen.
A few wisps, a strange thing happened.
The sword energy that originally thought had dissipated was when Yayoi Yuen and closed their mouths and nose breathing, and instead used their pores to breathe, Yayoi Yuen felt their existence again. It turned out that they were there all the time!
As for why yesterday's "sword energy" disappeared after flying two meters, Yagyu Tomoto seems very simple at this moment. His complete perception circle is about two meters. The complete perception circle mentioned here refers to the range where you can perceive everything without relying on hearing and touch, and completely relying on one intuition.
The lost sword energy is attached to the pores on the surface of the body, but it is too thin and subtle, so that even in the state of introspection, Yagyu Motoka could not find it. Now, with the further concentration of the spirit, Yagyu Motoka could feel that as the pores breathe, the sword energy is acting as a filter, allowing fresher air to be sucked into the skin.
Yagyu Motohe's heart moved and tried to take the initiative to make other internal energy produce similar mutations, giving them concepts such as nourishing the body and immortality.
———The internal energy ignores him at all. The so-called "if the mind moves, it falls into the acquired world, which is probably the case.

"Master, the time is almost over, we are going to set off." Aoki Ryoji looked at his watch and said softly.
Today is the first day of the Martial Spirit Decision Qualification, and the first game of Yagyu Motoka is held at 3 pm.
The Wuhun Decision Competition was chosen at this time, mainly because Tokyo and Paris are six time zones apart. During this time period, it is just enough to allow both the Asian Community Economic Circle and the European Economic Circle to watch the live broadcast more comfortably. As for the American Economic Circle, there is a gap of fourteen time zones from Tokyo, which is really difficult to adjust. Those who want to watch the live broadcast have to let them adjust their work and rest time by themselves.
"Okay, let's go."
———————————————
The qualifying venue for the Wuhun Jue is located on the west side of Tokyo, in a large comprehensive sports park near the suburbs.
This was originally an abandoned amusement park. During the recession of Japan's economy, many large entertainment facilities went bankrupt and abandoned because they could not be operated. This is one of them.
However, with the recovery of Japan's economy, especially after the establishment of the AFC, Japan made a fortune as the opening window for the AFC to the world (mainly sea transportation, Japan is the main hub of AFC's maritime transportation). The area of Tokyo's city expanded again and again. At that time, it was still a suburb, but now it is considered to be in the Tokyo city, so the land price is of course not the same.
During that depression, a circle of land here and around was bought by the Japanese Royal Family as a special competition venue for the Martial Soul Degree.
Now forty years later, every inch of land is already worth every inch of land. This investment alone can make the Japanese royal family rich.
What's more, although this place is not as expensive as the real estate prices in several particularly prosperous areas in the city center, it is also full of tall buildings and countless hotels, designed to host contestants and tourists from all over the world. It can be said that the large-scale event held once a year in Wuhunjue feeds the vast majority of people living in this area.
This is probably the most densely populated place in Japan's martial arts halls. You can see not only the kendo hall, judo hall and karate hall along the pedestrian street, but also various martial arts halls such as the Thai boxing gym, Indian yoga hall, European fencing hall and flail training. Almost every few steps, you can see a martial arts hall or gym, and the air is filled with the power of male hormones.
Of course, there are many women here, some are tourists who come to visit, but some are muscular, with wide shoulders and thick backs. If you don’t carefully observe your face and Adam’s apple, it will be difficult to distinguish your gender.
Some ladies have reached the level of muscle muscles, and no one dares to determine whether it is a pectoral muscle or a **. It is said that one of the most popular tough guy movie stars in the world is discovered by a scout here.
And she is also a woman. Since she always plays male roles on the screen and has a very handsome image, she is generally classified as a male star. This person once won the Academy Award for Best Actor, setting a precedent for Best Actor as a woman, and confirming her identity as a male star. Since then, male and female stars have no longer been distinguished by gender, but are defined by the roles they play on the screen. The famous saying "Girl, you are such a hero" was originally used to describe this elder sister.
Here, in addition to the stores related to fitness and martial arts, there are also various cold weapon stores and protective gear stores. It is said that whenever you want to shoot world-class ancient war blockbusters, there are always people who find a large number of extras, stunt actors and even supporting roles here.
In addition to several world-famous movie holy places, this place is also one of the places where performers gather, of course, mainly martial arts actors.
Now, the original abandoned amusement park has been transformed into a comprehensive sports park, and Yagyu Motoka's vehicle is parked in the underground parking garage of a 15-story building. The place to be held on the sixth floor is the sixth floor.
Of course, there are countless games in this building and several other buildings at the same time. After all, there are as many as thousands of players from all over the world who sign up for the Martial Soul Decision every year.
Thinking about the 100 million US dollars reward from the champion, it is understandable why the Martial Soul Prison can attract so many people.
In this world, due to the three economic centers of America, Europe and Asia, the US dollar has not obtained international currency qualifications, but the US dollar, the euro and the red flag currency have three points, and the exchange rate is basically stable, and there has not been much fluctuation for decades.
Basically, one dollar is exchanged for one euro for ten red flag coins. As for the Japanese yen, it is still somewhat unavailable and cannot be compared with the influence of the above three currencies. However, the yen is anchored on the red flag coins, and a red flag coins are exchanged for ten yen.
———————
"Master Yanagi, Miss Takahashi, Mr. Aoki, please go here." Although Yagyu Motoka started participating in the competition from the qualifiers, since he introduced him to participate in the competition through the introduction of the Swordsman Association, he would naturally receive more convenient services. At this time, a young and beautiful service staff was guiding them to the physical examination room. As part of the contestant, he must go through a preliminary physical examination, register his name or code, and check that the weapon protective gear meets the regulations before he can participate in the competition.
"We weigh 71.23 kilograms, the main weapon is Japanese sword, which is not cut and meets the competition requirements. The armor is a special tortoise shell and a protective kendo suit. The participants' code name is Black Mask. The warrior points are 0." Since there is a special passage, Yagyu Motohe did not delay any time, he quickly completed various physical examinations and registrations. Then a special person took him to a special lounge, waiting for the start of the competition.
——————————————
The competition venue used in the qualifying round of Wuhun Jue is a rectangular ring of ten times six meters. Unlike the square ring of boxing competition, the ground of the ring is only ten centimeters higher than the ground indoors. There is no guardrail around the ring, but there is only elastic rubber protection on the ground around the ring. As long as the contestant falls off the ring, he will admit defeat.
The game is the same as the Japanese Kendo competition, and the three-point system is implemented, but the three-point system here is different from the three-point system calculation method of the Kendo competition.
If one of the players hits the opponent's armor protection part, it will be deducted by 0.5 points. If you hit 6 times, the opponent will be deducted by 3 points, and the opponent will fail and be eliminated.
However, hitting the opponent's armourless part will be based on the actual performance of the player. For example, if the opponent is willing to continue fighting with a fractured injury, even 0.5 points will not be deducted. This is the rule left by the first and second martial soul decisions of the initial unprotected competition. Because it can reflect the warrior's strength and indomitableness and enhance the visibility, it is retained.
However, if the fatal part is hit or one party deliberately keeps his hands, it will still be judged that the person who threatens the other party's fatal part will win directly. This can be played through video and is determined unanimously by the two referees present, and there will usually be no dispute.
In addition to the on-site referees, there are more than three high-speed cameras of different angles working at the same time in each game, which is enough for the referee to accurately determine the results of the game in slow motion.
In addition to falling off the ring, losing scores, being hit/threatening fatal parts, etc., the player's voluntary concession and the designated assistant or coach on the off-field concession are considered to be effective basis for judgment.
In the entire Martial Soul Final, the copyright of the video of each event belongs to the Japanese royal family. The qualifiers are not paid and they are responsible for their own food and accommodation. However, they can get 30% of the revenue from the videos sold, of which 10% belongs to the loser and 20% belongs to the winner. If both sides draw, each will obtain 15% of the revenue.
Players who pass the qualifiers can get 40% of the live broadcast income before the round-robin event of the top 32. 15% will belong to the loser and 25% will belong to the winner. The draw will be divided equally, and the video sales income will be distributed in the same proportion. And each player who passes the qualifiers can enjoy free accommodation and dining before being eliminated, and receive a reward of 600,000 yen.
The top 32 group events are divided into 8 groups, with 4 people in each group. The top two players in each group are determined. Referring to the World Cup group stage, you can enter the top 32. Regardless of the considerable media share income, the direct rewards are enough for 10 million yen, which can satisfy most players.
Then, the top 16, top 8 and top 4, until the finals, the players' income will surge every time, and the final winner will directly receive a reward of 10 billion yen provided by the Japanese royal family. Of course, you can also choose Akabank coins or US dollars and Euro bonuses.
If the final winners add up to 40% of the final broadcast share, as long as you get a Martial Soul Cup, the warrior can directly join the ranks of world-class wealthy people. It can be said that the Martial Soul Degree is one of the most popular events that warriors yearn for in this era.
The loser can only get 20% of the broadcast share, and the prize money provided by the Japanese royal family also fell to 10 million US dollars/billion yen. Of course, the various advertising revenues obtained by the warrior themselves are not listed here. Therefore, even the loser in the finals is a complete multi-millionaire or even a billionaire (calculated in US dollars).
As the organizer, the Japanese royal family directly earns hundreds of billions of yen every year. Even if the cost is deducted, it is at least one billion US dollars. Moreover, there are peripheral interests and the overall image of Japan. As for the related gambling industry, it involves astronomical interests.
