The corners of his mouth grinned excitedly.

However... the excited smile of his new wife did not last long on his face.

He and Qingteng are now wearing protective gear from head to toe. Under the cover of the mask, Kuan Nitsuma has never been able to clearly see what kind of expression Qingteng has now.

At this time, after he once again deflected Qingdeng's slashing attack, the new wife suddenly caught a glimpse of Qingdeng's face that had been hidden under the mask.

The first thing I saw was Qingden’s bright eyes.

And under these bright eyes... there is a smile.

A smile that was even happier than him.

…

…

——My body is starting to sweat...

Qingdeng now clearly felt that the body temperature increased due to the fierce fighting, and Qingdeng's body began to sweat.

Before the final started, Qingden also thought that he could easily defeat Hiroshi Nitsuma, so he was surprised when things backfired.

As someone who was currently fighting with Nitsuma Kuan, he immediately discovered the clues as to why Nitsuma Kuan suddenly became able to compete with him.

Hiroshi Arizuma's sword skills have not become more sophisticated, nor has his strength or speed become stronger.

It is purely because of his high concentration that his current reaction speed is extremely fast.

Is it because you are eager to win that you are performing exceptionally well now? Or is it simply because your physical condition is very good today? Or is there some other reason?

never mind.

whatever!

Think about this later.

Defeat him first!

Qingdeng himself didn't even notice - as the fierce battle with his new wife Kuan was in full swing, the corners of his mouth were opening slightly.

Regarding this competition... Qingden has always had a sense of disappointment.

Thanks to Zhou Zhu's "white lie", Qingden had been looking forward to this competition.

I look forward to meeting some strong opponents in this competition. While honing my talents, I can also improve my swordsmanship and appreciate the elegance of each school.

However, after the competition officially started, Qingden was caught off guard by the level of his opponents...

No matter who he faced, the match could be ended with one sword strike. Although it was easy, it also made Qingden feel like there was some "object" stuck in his chest.

But now - the new wife Kuan in front of him actually burst out with enough strength to fight against him.

The strong opponent he had been looking forward to having a good match with before the game appeared!

The boring competition finally saw some changes.

The "object" stuck in Qingdeng's chest slowly slid down and disappeared.

The muscles of the limbs, which were originally as stiff as stones, seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and became soft and elastic.

——I see... He habitually launches this combo from this angle... His combo can only exert its strongest power when launched from that angle...

After glancing at Xin Zima Kuan's slashing sword, Qingdeng turned the bamboo sword in his hand. The bamboo sword was like a flexible snake and exquisitely hit the blade of Xin Zima Kuan's bamboo sword, breaking Xin Zima Kuan's sword.

hit.

Seeing this, Nitsuma Kuan quickly took back the blocked bamboo sword, then reorganized his body posture, this time changing it to holding the bamboo sword diagonally towards Qingdeng's chest from the lower right to the upper left.

——This move... when making a slash, hold the handle of the knife lower to extend the attack distance... The reason for using the lower right stance is to make it difficult for the opponent to see through the change in attack distance.

…

Qingdeng took a small step back, no more, no less, so that the tip of his newly raised sword only touched the air.

what happened?!

The smile that had just appeared on the new wife's wide face now slowly froze, and the smile slowly turned into an angry and anxious look.

At first, Nitsuma Kuan thought it was an illusion. But now, he finally had to realize that Qingden seemed to be becoming more and more familiar with his moves...

No matter what moves he uses, Qingteng, who is already familiar with his moves, will be able to launch sophisticated defense or dodge more and more skillfully.

At the beginning of the battle, some of Nitsuma Kan's attacks still posed a considerable degree of threat to Ayoto, forcing him to retreat and move in large strides.

And now - Qingdeng's body was as if it was sucked to the ground, flexible and stable. No matter how fierce the attack was launched by Xin Zumakuan, Qingdeng could easily deflect or dodge it.

All of his moves were seen through by Qingdeng... The most direct impact of this was that the balance of the battle began to tilt towards Qingdeng at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This is natural - all your moves have been used by your opponents and seen through, so it is natural for them to be suppressed by your opponents.

What's going on?! What's going on?!

The new wife Kuan, whose face gradually turned pale, let out one roar after another with a hint of panic in her heart.

Why is Qingteng suddenly familiar with every move he makes? As a new wife who also has a certain talent in swordsmanship, she understands why.

But he didn't want to admit this fact that was too cruel for him...

There is only one reason - Qingdeng has made progress.

It's that simple.

And that's not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is that Qingdeng’s progress is still continuing...

Qingdeng's "Sword Talent" just received a big improvement yesterday. The original "sword talent increased by 50 times the average level of ordinary people" has now become "increased by 62 times."

The "Oni's Heart" is paired with the now upgraded "Sword No. 1 Talent"...the complementation of the two is a terrifying thing, which is intuitively reflected in the ongoing contest with Shinzuma Kan.

.

In less than 3 minutes since the start of the battle, Aomori has basically become familiar with the various moves that Shin-Tsuma Kan uses, and he quickly applies what he has learned, and begins to attack and defend Ni-Tsuma Kan in a targeted manner!

Snap! Snap!

The sound of two fierce bamboo sword clashes exploded again.

Qingden swung his sword twice, deflected two consecutive slashes from Nitsuma Kuan, then turned back and stabbed Nitsuma Kuan's empty door.

This move of Nitsuma Kuan's has already been seen through by Qingteng. If he launches a counterattack from this angle, he will be able to pose the biggest threat to Nitsuma Kuan.

Sure enough - looking at Qingdeng's sword stabbing him at this moment, Xin Wukuan's brain, which had now become much more agile, was giving him an alarm frantically.

Xin Zhikuan, whose pupils suddenly shrank, ran back in panic, narrowly escaping Qing Deng's counterattack.

But before he could regain his balance as he ran backwards, Qingdeng immediately pressed forward and slashed at his new wife's wide legs.

Qingteng has seen through that Ni-Tsuma Kuan's lower plate is his weakness, and maintains a high-intensity offensive, which can effectively disrupt Ni-Tsuma Kuan's rhythm.

Even ordinary people who don't understand swordsmanship at all can now see that Niizuma Kuan has been gradually suppressed by Aomori, and he is still slipping into a disadvantage at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Why did Shinzuma Kuan, who was evenly matched with Qingteng just now, become unable to defeat Qingteng in less than 3 minutes?

They don't understand, and they don't bother to understand - after all, they just want to watch the fun and excitement.

Compared with ordinary people who do not understand swordsmanship, the expressions of those who have a certain level of swordsmanship are much more exciting.

On the viewing table, almost all the swordsmen with certain swordsmanship abilities, including the famous swordsmen such as "Chiba of Technique", "Saito of Power", and "Momoi of Position", are now unable to conceal themselves. The expressions on their faces were shocked. Some people's expressions were even more exaggerated. The expressions on their faces were not shock, but horror.

There are many people who can draw nourishment from fighting and make progress while fighting.

But the number of people who can achieve such significant progress in such a short period of time is a bit too many to describe as "one in a million"!

Including Shusuke, Kondo, Okita and others who are trying the defense hall, they all have expressions of surprise on their faces now - they always feel that Qingto's talent seems to have become higher...

Chiba Jutaro, who had always looked anxious just now, is no longer shaking his legs in anxiety. Now his eyes are widened and his mouth is opening and closing uncontrollably.

He originally thought that he had positioned Qingdeng's talent high enough, but now he found that his positioning of Qingdeng's talent seemed to be too conservative...

Sanako beside him also lost her original calm look at this time. Her beautiful eyes were wide open at this time, looking towards the field, and she could not hide the look of astonishment. And out.

——Damn it! Damn it!

The new wife's wide teeth had been clenched unconsciously just now.

Doubts, indignation and other emotions poured out one after another from the new wife's wide cheeks.

He doesn't understand...

He was very upset...

In order to defeat Ju Qingden, he did not hesitate to take a strange drug whose name he did not even know.

Until just now, he thought he had a chance to defeat Qingdeng.

However... in less than 3 minutes, Qingden relied on his overwhelming talent to crush his wish...

Even if I use dishonorable means, can't I win against this Tachibana Aoden?!

From time to time, some cheers from the spectators' seats for Qingden, who had suppressed him, could be heard in Xin Zuma Kuan's ears, which made Xin Zuma Kuan feel even more sad and angry.

--impossible!
