Chapter 1: The Beginning of It All

"Recently, Chiba Eijiro, the successor of the Beichen Sword Stream of the Neon Country, is also the first person recognized by Neon as the first kendo person in China to come to China for friendly exchanges, and intends to open a kendo hall in China and pass on the Beichen One Sword Stream" In the dim room, a young man about 25 years old was lying on the bed watching the news on TV and was silent

"Master Wang, the next thing to do is to hold the Huani Kendo Friendship Competition, my country will be the first person in my country's kendo Master Li Wenfeng, what do you think Master Chiba's strength is compared to Master Wenfeng" The news reporter asked Wang Qingyuan, director of the Huaxia Kendo Association next to him

"Here I will popularize the level of kendo to you," a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure smiled and said to the TV, "Kendo is also distinguished by rank, and at present, according to international practice, kendo is divided into one to eight dans, and the strength also increases with the improvement of the rank, Master Chiba has only obtained the rank of seven dans now, and Master Wenfeng is in the rank of eight dans"

"Then Master Wenfeng's strength is above Master Chiba" The reporter immediately asked when he heard this, but this time Wang Qingyuan's face shook his head with a slightly solemn face and said, "I can't say that, Master Chiba is because of his age, so the rank stays at the seventh stage, but it doesn't mean that Master Chiba's strength is only seven ranks, Master Chiba is now internationally recognized as the most talented kendo genius, and its strength is said to have reached the level of Master Chiba Shusaku, the founder of Beichen One Sword Stream, and its strength is unfathomable."

"The strength has reached the level of the legendary Chiba Shusaku" The reporter's face was a little shocked when he heard this, obviously frightened by Wang Qingyuan's words, you must know that at the end of the Edo period, all the kendo geniuses of the neon country at that time under the pressure of Chiba Shuzuo, the founder of the Beichen Sword Stream, could not raise their heads, it can be said that the kendo of that era was living in the shadow of Chiba Shusaku, and now listening to Wang Qingyuan say this, then the strength of this Chiba Eijiro can be imagined, and the reporter can now foresee the outcome of the next game

"Beep" The young man turned off the TV directly, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking, at this moment the mobile phone on the side rang, the young man took the mobile phone and answered the call, only to hear a neutral voice from the other end of the phone, "Anxia, have you read the news?"

"Look," the young man replied briefly

"I want you to play for me in this Huani Kendo Exchange Tournament, our country can't lose, we can't lose, I'm not sure to win him" The other end of the phone continued, but this sentence also revealed the identity of the person who called, Li Wenfeng, the first person in Chinese kendo, and the person he called was our protagonist Chen Anxia

"Uncle Wen Feng, aren't you raising the morale of others to destroy your own prestige?" Chen Anxia teased with a smile

"Anxia, this time I'm serious" Li Wenfeng's voice was very serious, "Chiba Eijiro's strength has indeed reached the level of Chiba Shusaku, not even further than Chiba Shusaku, and it is only one step away from the kendo master"

Chen Anxia couldn't help frowning when he heard this, kendo master, then this Chiba Eijiro is really amazing, the outside world is to shoot the kendo ranking according to the rank, but in the kendo world, kendo is according to the entry, beginner, intermediate, advanced, Kendo masters, kendo masters, and the legendary kendo masters above them, no one knows whether there is a hierarchy above the kendo masters, because since the Tang Dynasty, few people have broken through to the point of kendo masters, and kendo masters are even rarer, as for the above level Chen Anxia has never heard of it, and kendo was also introduced to neon from Huaxia in the Tang Dynasty

However, only when you step into the kendo grandmaster can you really enter the door of the sword, because the most important point that distinguishes the kendo master from the kendo master is that the kendo master has mastered a kind of void power, called potential, which can also be called sword intent, it is recorded in ancient books, and it can be cut tangible things, and it can also be cut intangibles, Chen Anxia is very yearning for this, and he also wants to know what the so-called invisible things are

Thinking about it, Chen Anxia's brows couldn't help but loosen, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, Kendo master? I have already reached it, but this time Chiba Eijiro must have come to China to find clues to break through the kendo master, after all, no one in the Neon Kingdom has never reached the level of a kendo master

Even the legendary Chiba Zhouzuo has only reached the so-called ten stages today, and the ten stages are equivalent to the level of a kendo master, and Chen Anxia has already reached the peak of the kendo master, but the kendo master to the kendo master This hurdle Chen Anxia has also taken half a step, but the other half step has been stuck with Chen Anxia, maybe this card will be a lifetime, maybe it will break through in the next second

Chen Anxia then said into the phone, "Uncle Wenfeng, you also know that I am the inheritor of the ancient Chinese sword, and it is too different from the modern sword, if I want to bring those protective gear to the competition, I will definitely not go."

"I know this" Li Wenfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, because he knew that Chen Anxia had already relented, as long as Chen Anxia agreed, and then said, "Anxia, don't worry, I will handle this point" Li Wenfeng hung up the phone as he said that

Wang Qingyuan, who had been full of curiosity on the side, couldn't help but ask at this moment, "Wen Feng, do you believe that one named Anxia so much? Are you sure he can defeat Chiba Eijiro?"

"Qingyuan, don't worry, if there is anyone else in Huaxia who can defeat Chiba Eijiro, then only Anxia" Li Wenfeng said affirmatively, and then his thoughts returned to 5 years ago, that year Li Wenfeng was in the prime of life, and it was also the peak of strength, and it was also the moment when the edge was revealed, that was Li Wenfeng was full of arrogance, and he was also qualified to be proud, because at that time, Li Wenfeng was already recognized as the first person in Chinese kendo, but no one in the younger generation, or the older generation, could beat Li Wenfeng

Until Chen Anxia appeared, the 20-year-old Chen Anxia came to Li Wenfeng with a wooden sword in his hand and challenged Li Wenfeng in private

It's just that the result was beyond Li Wenfeng's expectations, Li Wenfeng was defeated, and he was defeated very simply, only to see Li Wenfeng lying on the ground in embarrassment, looking at Chen Anxia who was standing intact in front of him with horror, and a trace of thought flashed in his heart that he didn't believe it, sword master he is

Seeing this, Chen Anxia sighed very helplessly and said, "Hey, it's still not good, it's too weak."

"Who are you, how is it, how can there be such a powerful master as you in the current era" Li Wenfeng's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Anxia with trembling and said

"I, the inheritor of the ancient sword of China, Chen Anxia" Chen Anxia stretched out a hand at Li Wenfeng when he heard this, and said with a smile, looking at Chen Anxia's smile Li Wenfeng was unconsciously stunned, Chen Anxia looked so otherworldly under the sun, not like a person in the world

At that time, Li Wenfeng also confirmed Chen Anxia's strength, a kendo master

"Okay, let's carry out the Huani Kendo exchange competition, the purpose of the competition is friendship first, the competition is second, and now the representatives of Huani are invited to enter" A spacious indoor kendo arena is surrounded by cameras, and the crowd is surging, and it is waiting solemnly at the moment, and at this time Chen Anxia and Chiba Eijiro slowly walked into the venue from both sides of the passage, looking at Chen Anxia who entered the venue, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the noisy noise sounded, and the flashing lights were also flashing

"Hey, who is this young man? Isn't it Master Wen Feng?

"What about Master Wenfeng, why didn't you see Master Wenfeng?"

"Could it be that Master Wen Feng is afraid?

"Let go of your shit, how can Master Wenfeng be afraid"

At this time, Wang Qingyuan also glanced at Chen Anxia with curiosity, and then stood up and said, "The neon country is the most talented master Chiba Eijiro in the neon country, and of course our country must send the most outstanding genius, this is a rising star in our country, and the strength is not much better than that of Master Wenfeng, so please be quiet and don't affect the performance of the players."

As Wang Qingyuan's words rang out, the scene suddenly became even more chaotic, especially the reporters, the aura in their hearts was already flashing, and they couldn't wait to interview Chen Anxia immediately, but now Chen Anxia and Chiba Eijiro didn't care about the surrounding discussions, they just looked at their opponents seriously

When Chen Anxia's gaze came over, Chiba Eijiro's hair was upside down, and a feeling of extreme danger couldn't help but emerge in his heart

Master, I will lose, at this moment, Chiba Eijiro was the only thought in his heart at this time, and this game was not unexpected by Chiba Eijiro, and the game ended in just 5 minutes, in the stunned eyes of everyone and Chiba Eijiro's incredulous expression, Chen Anxia drifted away, and after a while, the entire venue resounded with fierce discussions

However, Chen Anxia, who had just walked to the door, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and his body instinctively leaned back a step, only to see a bullet flying past Chen Anxia's face, making Chen Anxia's pupils suddenly constrict, and the half step that had never been taken seemed to suddenly step out, and a momentum burst out from Chen Anxia's body, but it was too late, the second and third bullets had already arrived, and then Chen Anxia's consciousness fell into nothingness
