"Father, do you want to play in person?"

Whether it was Kondo or the other apprentices sitting around the edge of the dojo, they all looked surprised when they saw Zhou Shuo raise the bamboo sword in his hand to Qingdeng.

"Hohoho... I haven't been doing well in a long time recently." Zhou Zhu twisted his shoulders, "I accompanied your mother back to her parents' home a few days ago, but I was so troubled that I was so hard. My shoulders and waist are still very stiff until now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhuo immediately looked around as if he realized something.

After confirming that he didn't see the figure of his wife, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued:

"Now there is a new apprentice in the sword hall that I have not seen his sword skills with my own eyes."

"Since that's the case, I can take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone - while testing the strength of the newcomer, I will move my stiff arms and waist."

After saying that, Zhou Zhuo raised his eyebrows to Qingdeng.

"Kotokun, you just finished a fight with Kondo. Do you want to have a rest now? Or do you want to start now?"

Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then replied quickly without thinking: "I can start now!"

Confronting Kondo Shusuke?

It's exactly what Qingdeng wants!

Qing Deng, who still had a strong joy that had just gained a new powerful talent, still couldn't wait to see if there was also a very powerful talent hidden in this third-generation head of the Natural Lixin Liu Sect family.

Zhou Shuai had already told him that he would personally test Qingdeng's strength. Kondo and others who are sons and apprentices naturally had no ability or room to refute or argue.

Kondo obediently retreated to the edge of the dojo, making enough space for Aoden and Zhousuke.

"Hmm?" Qingdeng realized at this time that he and Zhou Shuai didn't seem to have worn protective gear. "Master, aren't we wearing armor?"

"Hohoho, wearing protective gear is too troublesome, I'm too lazy to wear it, that's fine! Don't worry, I'm very slim, attack you as much as possible. You don't need to be afraid of hurting me, nor do you need to be afraid of being hurt by me. An old man like me who came from the "Unprotective Time" is best at not hurting people."

Since Zhou Shuai said so, Qingdeng would not say much.

After squatting on the left and right sides of the dojo and bowed to each other, Qingdeng and Zhou Shu simulated drawing the sword together, pulled out the bamboo sword on their left waist, and then slowly stood up.

Just the next moment Qingdeng got up—

call!

A slender afterimage approached Qingdeng's legs in an arc!

Bang!

Qingdeng felt pain coming from his left thigh.

After slashing Qingdeng's left thigh with a horizontal slash, Zhou Zhu quickly retreated 3 steps and opened the distance with Qingdeng.

Looking at Zhou Shuo who had retreated 3 steps away, Qingdeng's pupils shrank violently.

——I was stabbed...?

Qingdeng didn’t see clearly whether it was the time or the trajectory of Zhou Zhuo’s knife just now!

"Hohoho, Juju, concentrate." Zhou Zhu slowly lowered the blade and switched to the lower posture. "If you don't concentrate, you won't be able to swing the knife well."

After saying that, Zhou Shuo pushed his foot forward and approached Qingdeng again.

Seeing this, Qingdeng quickly took a deep breath and concentrated all his body, mind and attention.

Although Qingdeng was already tense, his eyes widened, staring at the movements of Zhou Shuai's hand and the trajectory of his sword body.

But even so, he still couldn't see Zhou Zhu's sword clearly.

Zhou Zhu's bamboo sword fell like raindrops everywhere in Qingdeng's body.

It was often Zhou Shu's sword that had fallen on Qingdeng, and he realized it later: Oh, is his sword aiming at me?

Zhou Zhuo is indeed as he said just now - he is very good at not hurting people.

Although Qing Deng has now "stumbled dozens of times", all the places where he was hit are hurt, and it will soon stop after a moment of pain.

It was completely suppressed, let alone counterattacking, and even a decent defense could not be organized.

The battle situation was obviously so overwhelmingly unfavorable... But Qingdeng's face did not show any frustration or depressedness.

It's better to say...it's the opposite.

It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance... Those who can become the head of a swordsmanship sect can indeed be a weak person.

The opponent in front of him was so powerful that he completely suppressed him, but Qingdeng did not feel any timidity or retreat.

Qingdeng now only feels that his heart is beating faster and faster.

As his heartbeat gradually accelerated, Qingdeng only felt that his condition seemed to be getting better! He only felt that he was becoming more and more motivated!

Feeling the changes in his body, Qingdeng was slightly surprised at first, but he quickly reacted - this should be the effect of "lonely" being activated!

And in fact, this is indeed the case.

In the talent list, the new talent I just obtained: "Lonely Gay" has burst out with a brilliant golden light since it just now!

And the "Sword's Easy Talent" burst out at this moment, immediately after the "Lonely Blame"!

——Kondo Shusuke’s main attack direction...is my two legs...

——Since that's the case... Then lower the blade a little...

——Hold the knife lighter... It seems to be more convenient to defend...

Taking advantage of Zhou Zhu's attack, Qingdeng quickly lowered his blade.

The talent of swordsmanship is 50 times higher than that of ordinary people... The effect brought by "Sword Elegant Talent" is not only to make Qing Deng's swordsmanship practice, but the speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.

The effect it brings is also - when fighting with people, you have extremely high sensitivity to the "changes and forms of swords"!

I only felt that my physical condition was getting better and better. At this time, I slowly realized that I... seemed to be able to see Zhou Zhu's sword path clearly!

Bang!

Qingdeng stretched the knife in his palm to his right side and drove the bamboo sword that Zhou Shuai chopped towards his left waist! The first time he set off Zhou Shuai's attack!

"Hoho..." Looking at Qing Deng who could suddenly block his sword, Zhou Zhu's extremely thin squinting eyes slowly widened a little.

After Qingdeng successfully defended Zhou Zhu's attack for the first time, the situation of the battle slowly changed.

Zhou Zhuo still pressed Qingdeng hard.

But Qingdeng is no longer able to handle Zhou Shu's sword.

"Sword Yicai" allowed Qingdeng to adopt the most appropriate defensive strategy.

"Lonely" has allowed Qing Deng's physical condition to be improved linearly.

The blessing of these two great talents made Qingdeng unable to take over the previous one, and then to be able to barely take over 1 or 2 blows after Zhou Zhu swung 10 blows.

At this time, among the apprentices sitting on the edge of the dojo, many of them saw Qingdeng for the first time. They didn't know that after Okita, they had another swordsmanship genius.

Looking at Qingdeng, who could change from "unresistible power" to "can block a few moves" under Zhou Zhu's sword in such a short time, they all opened their eyes wide and were all stunned.

As for Kondo, who had already known Aoden's talent, he wrapped his arms around his chest and smiled satisfied to Zhou Suk.

This look seemed to be saying to Zhou Zhuo: Look, father, I'm not wrong? Jujun's swordsmanship is indeed not inferior to the Chief!

The smile that Kondo showed was destined to be unavailable for Zhou Shuai to see.

Because Zhou Shuo now puts his whole body and mind on Qingdeng in front of him.

"Hohoho... Can you realize so quickly what to do to defend my attack more efficiently..." Zhou Zhuo, who raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, murmured softly in his voice, "So... I don't know what your 'smell'..."

With a whisper, Zhou Zhuo suddenly stopped attacking Qingdeng and retreated quickly.

After retreating 5 steps away from Aoden, Zhou Zhucai stopped retreating.

After stopping, Zhou Zhuang turned slightly to the right with a middle-level bamboo sword in front of him...

The deviation is very light. If you don’t look carefully, you may not be able to see that the position of the bamboo sword in Zhou’s hand has changed.

While tilting the bamboo sword in his hand slightly to the right, Zhou Zhuo slightly changed the center of gravity of his body. He slightly tilted the center of gravity of his body to the right.

Zhou Zhu's body's center of gravity changes the same as his sword. If you don't look carefully, you may not see any changes.

At this moment, looking at Zhou Shu who was standing 5 steps away with his sword, Qingdeng for some reason... he felt like an electric current in his brain was passing by.

I can't tell why, but for no reason, there was an idea that flashed through Qingdeng's mind - now is a good time to counterattack Zhou Zhu!

As soon as this thought flashed through Qingdeng's mind, he immediately felt like an instinctive reaction, conditioned reflex, and his body moved with his heart.

The footsteps slide, the ground sounds!

Qingdeng approached the place where his sword could cut Zhou Zhu, held up the bamboo sword, and went up the road toward Zhou Zhu!

"Hohoho..." Looking at the bamboo sword falling towards his shoulder, Zhou Zhuo chuckled with a little joy.

When Qingdeng's bamboo sword was just a little short of hitting Zhou Shu's shoulder—

Bang!

Zhou Zhu's bamboo sword was in place in time and blocked Qingdeng's attack.

Seeing that Aoden's rare counterattack was blocked by Zhou Shu, some of the apprentices sitting on the edge of the dojo were all shocked. They saw Aoden's momentum just now and thought that Aoden's attack might have a chance and could hit Zhou Shu.

Qingdeng, who failed to hold back his strength well, followed the forward momentum and crossed Zhou Shuo, and rushed to a place 2 steps behind Zhou Shuo before stopping his inertia and turning around.
