In the green bamboo forest, the strands of orange sunset are weakening and almost blending into the earth.

Ishikawa Goemon stood there, his expression very solemn, and his frown was as deep as his heart.

Surprise, confusion, puzzlement...a variety of emotions intertwined.

He didn't understand that he had clearly given the man in front of him a chance to live, so why should he refuse?

Is it possible that just one night is worth eight years of kendo training for ordinary people?

impossible……

If it were possible, through this period of practice, a man would already have 20 years of skill.

Ishikawa Goemon stared closely at the eyes under the mask, which were undoubtedly firm and confident.

This reminded him of what his master once said - a truly powerful swordsman will show off his sword even when facing an opponent he knows is impossible to defeat.

When encountering an enemy, you must draw your sword.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.

…

This principle seems a bit silly, a bit reckless like "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but prefer to travel to the tiger mountains".

But if an ordinary swordsman wants to grow into a peerless master, he often has to go through such dangerous battles, or even more than one.

As long as you survive successfully, your state of mind and strength will grow tremendously.

The road to the top is by no means smooth, and nine out of ten people will be martyred for this.

It is precisely because of this that the uniqueness of a peerless master is highlighted.

The man in front of him regards this duel as a "life and death test"...

'He won't avoid it because he is not afraid.'

Ishikawa Goemon's pupils trembled. He never imagined that one day he would be regarded as a "whetstone" by others.

"I see……"

"Tomorrow morning, I will take action with all my strength."

Ishikawa Goemon left a sentence with a heavy, hoarse voice, and then left gracefully.

Qin Zhibo was stunned on the spot, couldn't help raising his hand and scratched his head.

Did this guy misunderstand something?

I'm not pretending!

It’s just that tomorrow is the princess’s coronation ceremony, so you definitely can’t miss it!

The time for the coronation ceremony is 9:30 in the morning. If you practice sword practice tomorrow morning, you will definitely miss the coronation ceremony.

If Mi Go comes to cause trouble at that time, and Ishikawa Goemon, the strongest combat power, is not nearby, something might happen.

Moreover, Ishikawa Goemon is a rigid swordsman who only accepts death and refuses to adjust his sword practice time to tomorrow afternoon.

As for what he said, his current skill is less than 20 years old, Qin Zhibo is not worried at all.

He checked the current skill situation, and it was indeed the same as what he calculated yesterday——

Fighting skills (kendo): Fighting skills (kendo) refer to your swordsmanship strength...

Level:4

Proficiency:3800/8000

…

There is still a proficiency gap of 4200, and there is still one night and half a day left, so it is impossible to practice it no matter what.

But don’t forget, all skills in this system can be directly added with general skill proficiency!

Previously, Qin Zhibo did not put general proficiency in skills other than [Investigation], because other skills can be trained later, but [Investigation] cannot.

Besides, there was a store that was refreshed once a week, so purchasing props must have a higher priority.

Now that the store is no longer refreshed, the [Investigation] skill is sufficient, so there is no need to rush to upgrade it.

As for the general proficiency level, there are still 26373 points left after returning from the temple of Tsathogya with Koizumi Anko.

This huge "money" can be used to add points to other skills at any time.

With my iron will, transcendent wisdom, and legendary qualifications!

System, add some points!

When Qin Zhibo's mind surged, the number 26373 dropped rapidly, and instead, the proficiency of swordsmanship skills increased rapidly.

This process does not stop until the number becomes 22173.

The details behind the kendo skills have also been refreshed.

Fighting skills (kendo):......

Level:5

Proficiency:0/16000

…

The moment his kendo skill proficiency reached level 5, Qin Zhibo felt a force pouring out from the deepest part of his body.

The body that felt tired just a second ago was suddenly reawakened by this spring-like power, like a man who had been in drought for a long time sipping nectar.

This is……

Qin Zhibo clenched his fists and looked at the tight tendons on his wrists. He could clearly feel that the strength in his body was stronger than before.

Then I took a closer look at the character card panel, 75 points of strength, and then I suddenly remembered.

For skills such as fighting skills, as long as the skills are improved, the "strength" attribute of the character card will also be improved accordingly.

Every time you upgrade by 1 level, your strength will increase by 5 points.

When he first came to this world, the original owner's body had 60 points of strength and had the bonus of level 2 Krav Maga skills.

This means that before practicing Krav Maga, the original owner had 50 points of strength, which was the same as an ordinary adult male.

Later, through hard practice, Qin Zhibo upgraded Krav Maga from level 2 to level 4, and his strength also increased to 70 points.

However, different fighting skills cannot repeatedly improve strength, so the current upgrade of swordsmanship to level 5 is just an additional 5 points on the original basis.

However, don’t underestimate these 5 points of improvement in strength. The actual reflection on the body is that all functions comprehensively surpass the body at the previous moment.

Moreover, the improvement of strength within the system not only improves basic strength, but also includes endurance and explosive power.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Qin Zhibo clenched his fists, feeling like the climax of a villain gaining an infinite source of power.

Is this power?

What a joy!

Of course, he just imagined this scene in his mind and did not actually make such a foolproof move.

He put away his fists and checked the character card one last time.

The current strength is 75 and the sword is level 5.

Calculating it this way, even if I practice kendo to level 10 MAX, I will only have 100 strength.

100 is considered the theoretical limit of human beings, but in front of Kyogoku Shin and Ishikawa Goemon's "supermodel humans", it is not enough.

It’s all because the original owner’s foundation is too weak, the initial level is low, and the upper limit is naturally low.

…

On the way back, Qin Zhibo did not return directly to his residence.

Yesterday, he felt that Conan was a little suspicious.

Not only did I soak my feet when I got home, but my pair of legs also ran out of battery.

When I asked him, he said he was playing football, but if he was playing football normally, how could his shoes run out of battery?

Do you play Shaolin football?

As there was no need to continue sword practice tonight, Qin Zhibo planned to go find out what Conan was doing.

He put on the magic extractor, closed his eyes, and recalled Conan wearing the mask in his mind.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, no feedback came.

‘Is Conan not wearing a mask?’ Qin Zhibo thought to himself.

In this case, it further shows that Conan is not in the apartment, or that he is not moving in an area where "Conan" can easily catch him.

Close your eyes and recall Conan's appearance in your mind again.

This time, two identical inspirations came from two directions.

This is one Conan, another "Conan".
