Thank you to the alliance leader [L5??]! This chapter is an explosive update to thank the alliance leader!

*******

As soon as An Yun said these words, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"An Yunjun!" Zhizhou quickly recovered from the shock, and then shouted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you take back what you just said and step back!"

After scolding An Yun, Zhizhou immediately turned to look at Yamu, the owner of the Yuanming Pavilion.

"Yagi! Ask your disciple to take back his rude remarks! Then ask him to stand down! Don't interfere with the progress of the 'Grand Trial'!"

Facing Naozhou's rebuke, Yagi, the owner of the Yuanming Pavilion, only glanced at Naozhou lightly, and then asked An Yun, who was still pointing the tip of his sword directly at Nanjo:

"An Yun, are you serious about what you just said? Do you really want to challenge Nanjo?"

"Of course I'm serious." An Yun shrugged, "I've long wanted to see if the owner of 'Osaka's No. 1 Sword Gym'... is running the sword gym based on his true skills, or just relying on his reputation.

Come and run the sword hall."

After saying that, An Yun showed an undisguised sarcastic smile towards Nanjo.

"That's right..." Yagi nodded lightly.

Then he turned towards Nanjo and showed a weird smile that would make anyone feel extremely uncomfortable.

"In that case, Nanjo, you can come on and spar with my apprentice."

"Use your sword to teach my apprentice well: you have real ability, not just an empty name."

"Yagi?!" Naoshu exclaimed, with the word "unbelievable" written on his face, and looked at Yagi blankly, "What... is wrong with you?"

Nanjo from the All-Kan Military Academy, and Kiichi Shimura, the owner of the Shimurakan who had been silent since the beginning of the "Grand Trial Alliance", both now showed the exact same expression as Naoshu.

As for Ogata, as an outsider who was invited to watch the trial match, he looked at An Yun on the field with a blank expression, and then looked at Naoshu and others.

He had previously thought that this "big test match" was just an ordinary test match that would only make him sleepy after watching it.

However, judging from the current situation... the direction of this "grand trial union" has become increasingly beyond Ogata's expectations.

Ogata's current state of mind... To describe it with a vivid example, he originally came to watch the "Sushi Big Eater Contest", but when he arrived at the scene, he found that everyone was competing to see who could eat more cockroaches.

"Yagi! What crazy talk are you talking about?!" Naozu roared at Yagi at this time.

"I'm not saying anything crazy." Yagi said calmly, "Every word I just said was said in an extremely calm and sober state."

"Since An Yun wants to personally test whether Nanjo is really good, let him try it."

"Young people should be so energetic and dare to challenge the strong."

"The reason why martial arts is deteriorating now is because there are fewer and fewer worthy warriors."

"For An Yunjun's extremely bloody behavior, we should encourage them more."

"and"

At this time, Yagi once again showed Nanjo a smile that made people feel uncomfortable, and then continued in a sinister tone:

"Nanjo shouldn't lose to such a junior, right?"

"Let Nanjo take the opportunity to show his strength, give my apprentice a good beating, and let my apprentice know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. This will also be conducive to my apprentice's future development."

Every time Yagi said something, Naoshu's eyes widened a little.

He just feels that the Yagi in front of him is so strange...

No matter how he looked at or thought about it, he felt that Yagi today was extremely strange.

Although he was not familiar with Yagi before, he knew to some extent that he was taciturn and did not like to socialize.

Normally, he seldom speaks, whether in public or in private.

No matter what, it was difficult for Naozhou to equate the Yagi in front of him who kept talking like crazy with the quiet Yagi of the past.

"Yagi..." Naoshu opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something more, a deep male voice interrupted him:

"...Okay, Isshiki, you don't need to say more."

As the deep male voice fell, a figure slowly stood up and it was Nanjo.

Nanjo's face now looked so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.

After slowly standing up, he stepped forward and walked onto the dojo: "Since you want to test my strength, then I will do as you wish."

Originally, the three contestants sent by his sword gym to participate in this year's "Grand Trial" had all been eliminated, and Nanjo was already in a very bad mood because of this.

Nanjo also disliked An Yun, who eliminated two of the three players in his sword hall, including his protégé Kitahara.

And this little guy, whom he already disliked, now threatened to challenge him and said a lot of rude words to him.

His master Yagi didn't mean to break up the fight at all, but was still fanning the flames. Every word Yagi said to him just now was full of strange ridicule.

A junior like An Yun challenged him in full view of the public, and his master was there to fan the flames. Under such circumstances, it would be a real loss of face for him to not play again.

For samurai, things like face and honor are always more important than life.

What's more, Nanjo's anger... was already so full that it was about to burst out from every pore on his body.

In order to defend his honor and to vent his inner anger, Nanjo set foot on the dojo.

"Nanjo! Don't be so impulsive!" Naoshu, who did not want to see the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction, advised Nanjo earnestly.

And all the apprentices in the military hall were also there to persuade their masters.

Nanjo turned a deaf ear to these advices.

…

…

"Well……"

Beiyuan woke up quietly.

"here it is……?"

As soon as Beiyuan woke up, he heard the joyful shouts of his junior brothers coming from his left and right sides.

"Ah! Senior brother!"

"Brother Beihara! You're awake!"

After Beiyuan was knocked unconscious, his brothers were carried off the field.

As the master of the military hall, Nanjo was used to seeing various injuries of his disciples, and he also had considerable research on how to treat various bruises and injuries.

After Kitahara was carried down, Nanjo immediately carefully inspected his injuries. Except for some swelling at the place where he was cut, there were no other serious problems. It would probably not take long for him to wake up on his own.

After confirming that Kitahara was okay, Nanjo sent several disciples to carry Kitahara to the corner of the dojo, and asked these disciples to take care of Kitahara until Kitahara woke up.

Beiyuan covered his head and stood up slowly.

The memories before he fainted flooded out of Beiyuan's mind like a tide.

In the grand trial, Yisekhua and An Yun were instantly killed...

After recalling it, Beiyuan's eyes suddenly opened wide due to these unforgettable memory fragments, and he subconsciously looked towards the dojo.

"What...is going on?" Beiyuan murmured.

In the center of the dojo, stood An Yun, who had killed him instantly, and his master Nanjo.

…

…

"Boy, come here." Nanjo held the wooden sword tightly and took a stance.

An Yun was so rude to him, so he naturally had no reason to be polite to him anymore and called him "boy".

Kara, Kara.

An Yun moved her neck vigorously twice, and after making two loud "clicks", she set up the knife and said, "Please enlighten me."

A good "big test match" has turned into this situation, and everyone in the venue has complicated expressions.

"Drink!"

The first person to launch the attack was Nanjo.

Nanjo made a sound from his Dantian, and a Qihe sound that was loud enough to shock even the faint of heart came out of his throat.

He stepped forward and slashed at An Yun twice with his sword, all in one movement.

An Yun took a deep breath, took two steps back, avoided Nanjo's first sword, and then used a non-external move to deflect Nanjo's second sword.

Katori Shinto-ryu is one of the schools that Ogata is most familiar with.

Thinking back to two years ago, when he first traveled to the Edo period, not counting the Sakakihara Itto-ryu, the first swordsmanship he came into contact with was the Katori Shinto-ryu taught by the Ishikawa Kenkan at that time.

Every move Nanjo makes and every Katori Shinto-style swordsmanship he uses can be said to be extremely proficient.

Facing Nanjo's fierce attacks, An Yun could no longer transform into the "One-Knife Superman" like she had in the previous competitions.
