Chapter 102 Tests and Competitions
With neat steps, Chen Nuo and the others slowly walked towards the so-called test site. Of course, what we welcomed them was not a difficult trial, but just a row of neat grass piles and wooden piles.
"Broken grass piles with one knife is to pass basic training! Cutting wooden piles with one knife can be upgraded to level 2 students, and have the right to learn the basic secret script issued by Master Yamamoto. Every extra wooden pile can be upgraded to level 1, and up to level 4 students can be upgraded to level 4 students to obtain complete basic secret script qualifications." Takano Iwazawa said slowly, then stood on the side and signaled that Chen Nuo and the others could start confidently, while the waiter on the side distributed a wooden sign to each of Chen Nuo and the others.
Holding the wooden sign in his hand, Chen Nuo and the others watched the waiter arrange them to walk to the established grass stakes, and then asked in Elta whether they were using their own weapons or weapons provided by the dojo.
"If you want to use the weapons you carry, you need to check them first. After all, some weapons are too sharp and have some impact on actual testing." When the waiter said this, he looked at Chen Nuo and others' swords, because he was not blind, he could tell that Chen Nuo's sword was a very good quality weapon.
"Give me a weapon from the temple, so no one else needs it." Chen Nuo did not hand over his sword to the other party for inspection, but chose a sword from the temple.
He took a look at the long sword from the temple and found that it was still sharp, but it was not as easy as his own sword. But even this was not much different for Chen Nuo, because he just tested the knife and directly cut off the grass stake in front of him with one knife.
The so-called grass stake is not a roll of straw, but a pile formed by fine grass swept over. Although this grass stake looks fragile, it actually requires a lot of skills and strength to cut it off with one knife. In the past, cutting grass stakes with one knife was also at the middle and high level of Japan's sword. Now this is just the basic training requirements for this temple.
"Crack!!" As Chen Nuo swept across the straw pile with a knife, half of the straw mat slowly slipped from its original position, but Chen Nuo was not satisfied with this knife. It was obviously a bit blunt because the knife had not been maintained for too long, so the cutout was not smooth enough.
Although the speed of the knife can make up for this, because it is not very suitable for the specifications of the knife, he did not fully perform his due speed in the first knife.
But when Chen Nuo was the second knife, he had already adapted to the weight of the knife, and then he directly unsheathed it with one knife and instantly pulled the knife to cut off the wooden stake.
Because the cut is smooth enough, the broken piece of the wooden stake fell off quickly after it was cut off, and the cut was smooth and there was almost no wooden thorns. Then Chen Nuo simply swept across with one knife, instantly cutting off three wooden stakes before slowly retracting the knife and throwing the sword from the temple to the waiter.
Chen Nuo did not notice that when Takano Iwazawa swept out the knife, his eyes lit up slightly, and his fingers slowly rubbed. This was an inadvertent little action, and probably few people except himself could notice it.
However, except for Chen Nuo, others could not directly cut off three wooden stakes with one knife. As a result, several of them basically changed their weapons. Those who were not using sword techniques were either due to their talent or their own strength. The most was to cut off two wooden stakes. This was not only a gap in strength, but also a hidden meaning.
Chen Nuo does not need to hide his weakness. He is the strongest person on the surface, so Chen Nuo does not need to hide it. Although the others are weak, it is no problem to be able to cut off three wooden stakes, but they think there is no need to hide their weakness.
Chen Nuo and the others knew this better, so after Chen Nuo and the others finished the test, he called the waiter to the side and whispered a few times. Then Chen Nuo and the others found that all the wooden signs they had received were wooden signs of Level 4 students.
"Since you have this strength, you don't need to hide it! The dojo needs talented students, and as a survivor of Blue Star, the village also needs strong people to support it." Takano Iwazawa said slowly, then glanced at Chen Nuo and the others.
"You can collect the basics of the Taoist Secret Book with the attendants. If you want advanced secret books, either choose to train as hard as those outside. Just use a wooden knife to cut a trace on the steel pillar to get the second one, or you can choose to challenge several teachers directly. As long as the challenge is successful, you can serve as a new teacher, so as to obtain a more complete secret book." Iwazawa stared at Chen Nuo when he said this, and Chen Nuo, who was gaze at the other party's gaze, naturally felt something.
"Can you also discuss with me?" Iwazawa Takano walked to Chen Nuo very directly. This sentence made Chen Nuo feel a little confused.
"Why?" Chen Nuo asked a little strangely.
"For the sake of progress!" Takano Iwazawa didn't say much, and his eyes were extremely firm as if they were rocks.
"That's it? But why choose me?" Chen Nuo was a little speechless. What is the logic behind finding someone to fight if you want to make progress.
"Because I have fought all the swordsmen in the entire Remnant Village!" Takano Iwazawa said slowly, then pulled out his broad sword from behind.
"This sword is 178 cm long and weighs 110 kilograms. It is a carefully forged item by the Hurta dwarf blacksmith." Iwazawa Kaoro did not talk nonsense to Chen Nuo, and directly prepared to open the film.
"Great imitation Qiushui! From the scale of fairness!" Chen Nuo found that his eyes on the opposite side became brighter after introducing the knife.
"You are lucky to be able to enter that legendary place!" Iwazawa Tatsuo slowly raised the big sword in his hand, and a momentum that was as motionless as a mountain spread instantly.
"I! There is no need to do this, right? Just a trial!" Chen Nuo felt the hairs that stood up on his body, so he wanted to press the guy on the ground and beat him up. But the problem was that he couldn't beat him. To be precise, Chen Nuo may not be able to beat him now, after all, his physical condition has not fully recovered at this moment.
"You're welcome! Please give me advice!" Iwazawa Takano said slowly to Chen Nuo. His meaning was very clear, that was to let Chen Nuo let go of the attack. His purpose was to experience the other party's sword skills and then upgrade to himself.
"You're welcome...~~" Chen Nuo was speechless, but the next second he pressed down his body, put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and Iwazawa understood Chen Nuo's moves in his mind.
"Is it a sword drawing technique? Is it a sword or a reverse sword? But at this distance, are you confident in your speed?" Iwazawa Takano looked at Chen Nuo, who was at least ten meters away from him, without any movement in his eyes. The next second he suddenly found that Chen Nuo's body disappeared from his sight. When he was captured again, the other party was already close.
"Nani?!" Although his eyes only captured the other person's figure, the repeated tempering reaction had already made Takano Iwazawa make a subconscious counterattack.
But the moment the giant sword in his hand swept out, a bad feeling arose in his heart, and he directly grabbed the big sword that was swept out and turned his back behind him.
"Do!" The very crisp sound of weapon collision came from the collision position of the two. Chen Nuo, who was retreating, looked at his knife with a little distressed look, and did not breathe until he confirmed that the blade was not injured.
