"This selection is to select brave warriors."

"Therefore, the assessment method is very simple - play against me! Show your strength! As long as your strength can be recognized by me, you can join the team!"

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, the venue...especially the eastern venue where the applicants were waiting, suddenly went into an uproar.

Those who are confident in their abilities either look normal or look happy.

As for those who were mediocre in strength, or even those who had never learned martial arts at all, they had anxious expressions on their faces.

In addition to having mixed feelings about the simple and crude selection method, the public also marveled at Qingdeng's "dedication".

There are at least thousands of applicants gathered here!

Qingdeng wants to fight these thousands of people one by one?

Even if he doesn't mind the trouble, it will tire him to death, right?

Qingdeng had already expected such a reaction from everyone, so he was not impatient and added calmly:

"Martial arts level is not the only criterion for assessment. If you have outstanding physical fitness, I will make an exception and admit people. Even those who have never learned martial arts don't have to worry about not having a chance to pass the selection."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who were originally looking sad immediately looked much better.

I don't want to waste any more time, I just want to start recruiting talents quickly... Ah, no, I want to start the selection quickly. Qing Deng lowered his head and glanced at a young official below the high platform.

The officer nodded understandingly, then turned around, facing the east side of the venue, picked up the book as thick as a brick in his hand, and opened the first page.

"Inutaro! Inutaro of Ino Village!"

This officer was specially selected by Qingdeng to give his name because his voice was loud enough.

As soon as his words came out, a man with a simple and honest appearance immediately raised his arms.

"I, I am Inutaro!"

"Pick your weapons! Get on stage!"

As he spoke, the officer nuzzled towards the weapons rack placed under the high platform.

On the weapon rack, there are bamboo swords, bamboo Kodachi, bamboo Odachi, wooden spears, wooden naginata, scythes... all the melee weapons commonly used by Japanese samurai.

"Yes, yes!"

Inutaro hurriedly pushed through the crowd and rushed to the weapon rack. After scanning the weapon rack several times in a panic, he casually pulled out a bamboo sword.

When he climbed onto the high platform and faced off against Qing Deng, he immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

Wearing a coarse cloth that was faded with sweat, without a knife on his waist, and with skin as dark as coal, he could easily be identified as a farmer.

The first applicant to take the stage was actually a farmer... This was really beyond everyone's expectation.

Perhaps because of his nervousness, Inutarou's limbs were trembling all the time, and even the bamboo sword in his palm was trembling like the swordsmanship of Beichen's Itto-ryu.

Qingdeng picked up the bamboo sword that was given to him just now and took a mid-level stance.

"Inutaro, attack here!"

"Lord Nioh, I, I have never practiced martial arts..."

"It doesn't matter, just attack. If you haven't practiced martial arts, just show me your strength and courage. To put it bluntly, the so-called fighting is nothing more than 'one courage, two strength and three kung fu'."

Hearing Aoto say this, Inutaro's nervousness disappeared a lot.

After taking several deep breaths, he raised the bamboo sword above his head.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Accompanied by a strange sound of energy coming together, Inutarou quickly ran to Aoto and slashed with his sword.

Qingdeng raised his sword to defend.

The bamboo swords collided in the air, and a "ka-ka" sound was heard immediately.

Inutaro wasn't lying or being modest, he had never studied martial arts.

The footwork is a mess.

There are basically no skills.

He only knows how to use the "New Year Sword Technique", which is to repeatedly lift the bamboo sword and then chop it down.

However, his strength is really not small.

The "whooshing" sound of the wind is surprising.

Qingdeng continued his move while counting the time in his mind.

——8…9…10…11…12…13…

To be on the safe side, he even added 3 seconds.

When the 13 seconds passed, Aoto flexibly flipped his wrists - blocking and picking - and in just these two moves, Inutaro's bamboo sword was swept away.

Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng listened intently... There was no system sound in his mind.

Qingden has long been used to such things, so he is not surprised.

While disengaging from the fighting stance, he smiled at Inutaro and said:

"Good strength, you passed the test! Go over there and fill in your personal information!"

Inutaro was stunned on the spot.

After a while, he finally realized that he was ecstatic.

"Yes, yes!"

Inutaro's passing was like thunder on the ground.

Suddenly, exclamations arose from everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of eyes flashed with excitement and excitement.

It turns out that what was written in the tabloid before was all true! What Nioh said was also true!

Regardless of origin or age, those who can do it will do it!

As long as you have outstanding strength or a strong physique, you can pass the assessment!

Suddenly, the morale of the applicants was greatly boosted, and they were all gearing up, hoping that they would be the next person named.

"Next! Mantaro Taniguchi!"

"exist!"

A young samurai with two swords at his waist, gorgeous clothes and neatly combed Tsukiyo hair, strode out.

He pulled out a bamboo sword from the weapon rack, and after ascending to the high platform, he assumed an ordinary mid-section posture.

"Katori Shinto style"

"Taniguchi Mantaro!"

"Please advise!"

Qingdeng holds his sword in front.

"bring it on."

Mantaro Taniguchi howled, waving his bamboo sword like a wheel.

A scene very similar to the one before happened again.

Aoto was able to neutralize Mantaro Taniguchi's offensive with ease.

More than ten seconds later, he knocked away the opponent's bamboo sword with one blow.

There is no system sound again.

"You are not qualified, go down."

"What?!"

Mantaro Taniguchi's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"Impossible! How could I fail?!"

After saying that, he put on an indignant expression that said, "You must have made a mistake."
