Yanagi Motowa hasn't appeared in front of people for a long time, whether it's Red Flag or Japan, you can't see Yanagi Motohe.

At the beginning of this year's martial arts showdown, the organizers originally wanted to invite the Juggernaut as a special guest to attend the final commentary with the participation of the demigod, which was a lesson learned from the last time when Yanagi and Leilani Artoria were in the final between Ragi and Leilani Artoria, and no one in the commentary seat could see the final process clearly - others couldn't see clearly, and they couldn't explain the demigod game, but our Japanese Juggernaut can always do it, right?

However, the people who came to invite Yanagi did not see Yanagi and himself at all.

I was only told that the Sword Saint Yanagi Yuanhe had been in retreat since March this year, and by now, he had closed himself in a manor on the outskirts of Tokyo for almost half a year.

Therefore, although at the closing ceremony of the Martial Soul Duel and the ceremony of awarding the Martial Soul Cup, the audience's call for another duel between the Western demigods and the Eastern Sword Saint was like a wave, it did not affect Yanagi Yuanhe, who was in retreat and penance at the moment.

Today, Yagyu and his manor on the outskirts of Tokyo have also changed.

Originally, there were few people in the manor, and after Liu Shengyuan took over the research institute of his father's company, he pretended to be public and private, and in order to provide convenience for himself, he embezzled public funds to purchase some equipment and install it in his manor.

As a result, the two rooms next to the original retreat room were opened up and connected, and after some renovation, it became a small biological laboratory dedicated to Yanagi Shengyuanhe, in this laboratory, in addition to the common Petri dishes, microscopes, centrifuges and PCR equipment, there is also a small automatic assembly line, which is specially used to handle the processing and preparation of raw materials and supply some special needs of Yanagi Shengyuanhe.

This is now the place where Yanagi and do some private research.

Over the years, Yanagi Yuanhe has basically been a dead otaku. All day long, I either do experiments in the laboratory, or sit in the room to study various materials, or consult relevant experts through the Internet for various professional questions.

As for sword practice or something, except for an occasional trip to the Aoki Pavilion to adjust/adjust his disciples, few people have seen him touch the sword.

On the side of the wall near Yanagi and the retreat room, next to the wall, a large metal jar was erected, and through the transparent glass pipe above, a cloudy yellowish liquid could be seen slowly flowing into the metal jar, and below the jar, there was a metal pipe leading to the floor.

Sakura Kobayashi walked into the laboratory lightly, and she dragged a special trolley for the laboratory, on which were placed various bottles and jars, all of which were different labels of nutrient solution, culture medium and various vitamin materials.

She first picked up the rag and carefully wiped all the equipment in the laboratory, and then poured the bottles and cans brought into the laboratory one by one in order, into the specific feeding port, and watched as the materials were automatically heated, stirred, filtered, and cooled by various equipment on the small assembly line, mixed through a container, and finally turned into a pale yellow liquid in the pipe, which flowed into the large metal jar separated from the retreat room by a wall.

In Kobayashi Sakura's heart, there was an indescribable worry.

My fiancé has been in the retreat room across the wall from the laboratory, and he hasn't stepped out of the retreat room for six months.

Before Liu Shengyuan and the retreat, he had specifically told her to take good care of her laboratory and put various raw materials into a regular time every day, which would be processed into a special nutrient liquid through a series of automatic processing equipment and fed into a culture tank.

As for what exactly is in the jar? Yanagi Yuanhe once said that it was a kind of biological material that he had cultivated, and it was the most important brainchild of his research over the years, and he had to be careful with Kobayashi Sakura, and he must not cut off the supply of nutrient solution when he was in retreat, otherwise, his research efforts might be ruined!

In the past, Sakura Kobayashi had not seen Yanagi and retreat, and it can even be said that Yanagi Yuanhe's retreat practice was almost commonplace, and it was necessary to retreat when there was inspiration for research, retreat when there was progress in martial arts practice, and even retreat to organize thoughts and purify body and mind.

However, this time the retreat time was too long, for six months, Yanagi Yuanhe did not step out of the retreat room, and even every time he went in to bring him food, he only saw him sitting cross-legged by the wall motionless.

It's been six months! Sakura Kobayashi felt that if she sat in one place for six months without moving, she would have gone crazy a long time ago, right?

If it weren't for Yanagi Yuanhe who occasionally said hello and talked to Sakura Kobayashi who came in to deliver food, Sakura Kobayashi would almost have thought that the one sitting by the wall was a wooden man!

This retreat seems to be no small deal. Before the retreat, Yanagi Motokazu had gathered the whole family and held a family meeting cautiously, specifically saying that during his retreat, in addition to taking care of his laboratory and maintaining the supply of nutrient solution, he should not disturb his retreat practice.

The retreat can be long!

But it can't grow like this for a long time, can it? It's been almost six months!

Although Sakura Kobayashi can see Motowa Yanagi every day when she delivers food, staying in the retreat room for so long and not seeing the light of day is not good for her health, right?

Sakura Kobayashi persuaded Yanagi Yuanhe more than once, but Yanagi Yuanhe didn't even stand up when he left the retreat room and went out for a walk.

Even when Yagyu and the Shima couple came to see him, he just sat there, smiling and answering his parents, and in Kobayashi Sakura's opinion, there must be something strange in this!

You must know that Yanagi Yuanhe has always been very filial to his parents, and in the past three years, he has studied hard, and Kobayashi Sakura has seen it.

However, in the past six months, not only did he not go to Chiqi to continue his studies, but even when he recuperated his family's body every month, he asked his family to enter the retreat room and sit in front of him within reach.

"Aoki-kun, is there still no news from Yanagi-kun?" asked in the Sword Heroes Club, Sasaki Shinpei summoned the alternate sword master Aoki Ryoji.

"Hi, Chief Sasaki, Master said at the beginning of the year that this retreat could take a long time. Unless he calls for it, we are forbidden to disturb us.

However, when Mrs. Sakura Kobayashi wants to bring food to the master, she can often see the master.

If you have anything to tell me, I can ask her to bring you a message the next time I see her. Aoki replied respectfully.

"Well, you're doing a good job, Aoki-kun, you have to be respectful of your teacher, you're on the verge of being a sword hero now, right?

Although Yanagi Motowa became the first person in Japanese kendo, as his chief disciple in kendo and the personal representative of the sword master association, Aoki Lianji's status has also risen, but this young swordsman also knows that his level is far from worthy of the title of the chief disciple of the sword master.

Therefore, Aoki Ryoji not only practiced kendo weekdays, but also kept a low profile in the swordsmanship, especially to the predecessors of the swordsmanship, he was always respectful and respectful, and he did not dare to be rude.

Three years, Aoki Ryoji did not spend in vain.

After three years of hard work, Aoki Ryoji has felt as if there is a power gradually condensing in his body.

In the past three years, Aoki Ryoji has not practiced the so-called actual combat swordsmanship again, but has devoted all his energy to Yanagi Shengyuan and the improved living sword cultivation.

In the first year, he just felt that his strength was running, and he was gradually polished to be extremely smooth, and his swordsmanship gradually changed from attaching importance to meticulous moves, and began to turn into more attention to swordsmanship to form an endless wave of sword momentum when practicing swordsmanship;

In the second year, Aoki gradually felt that with his further understanding of the living sword swordsmanship that had been improved by his teacher, it seemed that when he practiced the sword, there seemed to be a power in his body, which began to be driven by the sword path of the living sword, and faintly flowed with the swing of the long sword.

Aoki Ryoji originally thought that this was his own delusion, after all, in Japanese kendo, awakening the martial soul is an epiphany, and if you realize it, you will realize it, and if you can't realize it, you can't realize it.

There has never been a way to naturally engage the deepest forces in the body through daily practice.

But the more time came on, the feeling of dancing the long knife to drive the qi and blood in the body became stronger and stronger, and even made him feel that he was just a thin piece of window paper away from officially awakening this power in his body, and as long as he pierced this layer of window paper, he could see a new world.

Before the teacher's retreat, basically every two months, if his kendo homework was satisfactory to him, he would personally control himself to practice swordsmanship.

Every time the teacher manipulated himself to perform swordsmanship, he could feel this wonderful power in his body.

When this wonderful power performs the sword technique by itself, it is the sword technique that drives it to flow in the body, and when the teacher controls his body to perform the sword technique, it is this power in the body, which pushes his body to perform the sword technique.

This is definitely not a martial spirit! Aoki Lianji faintly felt that under the guidance of the teacher, he and his classmates had embarked on another path of martial arts.

Aoki Ryoji was really glad that he was fortunate enough to be able to worship under his teacher, and for this reason, he tried his best to urge his fellow disciples to practice swords, fulfilling his responsibilities as the chief disciple, and on the other hand, he was cautious in his words and deeds in the swordsman club, for fear of losing his master's face.

Especially two years ago, Dad finally asked the teacher to help him stimulate his potential twice, but in the end he failed to be promoted to a sword hero, and now Daddy Aoki Yukimi has pinned all his hopes on himself and his sister Aoki Ema.

This made Aoki Ryoji even more afraid to relax himself, he was simply practicing hard all the time, where did he have time to enjoy the scenery in the Sword Hero Club, and what kind of sword saint disciple's score was placed?

For Sasaki Shinpei, Yanagi and this new Sword Saint are all good elsewhere, but in the past few years, it seems that this young Sword Saint has the intention of changing careers?

In the past three years, the Sword Heroes Association has also had its own intelligence channels, not deliberately to spy on Yanagi Motowa, but as a representative of Japanese kendo, it will naturally receive corresponding attention.

In the past three years, this new sword master has simply been addicted to learning and cannot extricate himself! Since Yanagi Yuanhe joined the Red Flag Teaching Group three years ago, this Japanese sword master has hardly touched a sword, but when he holds a beaker and a test tube petri dish and faces a microscope, he occupies the vast majority.

What everyone didn't expect was that this young sword master was able to publish three world-class papers in just over two years, and also applied for a number of patented technologies.

Others just saw the rise of a young scholar from the signature of the paper, and no one would have thought that this young scholar was actually a sword master. But Sasaki Shinpei is really drunk - you said that you are a good sword master, why did you change your career to do scientific research?

You know, there are more scientists in Japan, there are not many more of you, and there is no less of you, but you are the only Japanese swordmaster!

The problem is that Sasaki Jinpei persuaded and persuaded, but Yanagi Motokazu still didn't listen!

This made Sasaki Zhenpei simply resentful of his teacher, Liu Laodao.

What do you say your old man is doing! You have bent our genius sword saint that has come out once in 500 years in Japan! The loss of the Japanese kendo world has been great!

Today, the challenge letters from the British side have been sent, although Sasaki Jinhei is really not optimistic about Yanagi Motowa, who has not touched a sword for three years, but he also hopes that through this challenge, this misguided young sword saint will quickly return to the golden road of kendo and stop playing any scientific research.

Japanese kendo needs you, hurry up and turn back, Yanagi-kun!

"Motowa, don't accept her challenge!" This is Masako Minamida, her mother.

In the past few years, Masako Nanda has also paid attention to some things in the martial arts world, who let her two sons be linked to the martial arts world?

Even Queen Janet, Masako Minamida, has seen it more than once - Motokazu Yanagi also has an honorary British baron title, and there is also a villa gifted by the British royal family in London, England.

So when the British royal family visited Japan this year, Yanagi and his wife went to a dinner as special guests (at that time, Yanagi Motokazu was already in retreat).

When Aoki Ryoji brought Sasaki Sakura's chief message to Sakura Sakura, it happened that Masako Minamida was also on the scene.

As soon as I heard that my son actually had to face the challenge of that terrible demigod girl, three years ago, the scene of my son's broken arm suddenly appeared in front of Nantian Masako's eyes, as a mother, Nanda Masako didn't say a word, and ran directly to her son's retreat room, asking Yanagi to refuse the challenge.

In her opinion, her son is now a scientist, what kind of sword master? Where is the profession of a scientist safe? Since he is a scientist, why do he still learn how to fight and kill, and it is very good for her son to play beaker in the laboratory!

Although my son has been sitting in continuous retreat for a long time, and he has not seen the sun all day, it is indeed a little unhealthy in his life, but it is better than carrying a knife to the stage and working hard.

"Masako, don't talk nonsense, this matter depends on Yuan and his own decision, he is not a child anymore!"

In just three years, Yagyu Kazushima has watched his eldest son grow from a junior high school student to a group of researchers who can lead a group of researchers to conduct research experiments and create various patented technologies to support the entire company.

This is the feeling that Yanagi Yuan and when he won the title of Sword Saint, Yanagi and Shima did not have it (he is not a person in the kendo world, and he doesn't have so much experience of the difficulty of martial arts to achieve a Sword Saint, he just felt that this world was a bit fantasy at the time), this is a kind of scumbag's admiration for Xueba!

"It's okay mom, don't worry! This time, I won't get hurt.

But not now, Ryoji, you can bring me a message to Chief Sasaki, and say that I will face Leilani Artoria a year from now!"

Yanagi Yuanhe sat cross-legged with his back against the wall, and said with a smile.

He has been in this position for more than six months.
