Modern kendo competitions, as a competitive sport evolved from martial arts, are full of confrontation and comparison, but today, if the killing-themed kendo is operated as a competitive sport, it is inevitable to change the ancient classification system.

There is an old saying in Huaxia: there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

As a type of martial art, kendo was simple and straightforward in ancient times—it was a martial arts.

Verify the level with your bloody way of life and death. The more you win, the higher your swordsmanship will naturally prove. In the actual combat of real swords and guns, there is no such thing as negligence, and if you lose, you are likely to lose this life, even if you are just injured, you may never have the opportunity to prove your strength again.

But now, this cruel grading method obviously cannot adapt to the current social environment, and mankind has entered the era of civil rule with the supremacy of law. If swordsmanship wants to continue to exist, it can only abandon the savage and bloody side to suit the current social rules.

Therefore, the way in which it verifies the level must be changed to remove the bloody and barbaric side. So, with the efforts of the neon kendo bosses, today's rules have been formed - kendo ranks, and now very safe ways of playing.

Not to mention that the two sides must be fully armed, they can only use bamboo swords with much less lethality.

But this is not the reason why kendo is popularized in neon, and it is still the quintessence of neon, and the smart neon people have designed a set of complicated etiquette and exquisite utensils for kendo and kyudo in order to adapt to the changes of the times, so that the process of cultivation is full of rituals.

From the pursuit of victory and defeat to the pursuit of heart refining.

The official renaming of "swordsmanship" and "archery" to "kendo" and "kyudo" completed the sublimation of the concept from "art" to "dao", thus opening a door to "truth-seeking" for neon kendo and kyudo.

From then on, learning swords and archery is not only to master and improve swordsmanship and archery, but more importantly, to improve one's own personality taste.

For beginners, the most attractive thing about kendo and kyudo is its beauty. Kendo and archery not only pay attention to exquisite equipment and rigorous dress, but also pay attention to the physical beauty of swordsmen and archers.

Just ask, when you see handsome guys and beautiful women wearing beautiful and delicate clothes, holding wooden knives, standing solemnly in front of you, will you have the urge to try it?

In terms of adapting to the times, kendo and archery are much better than Huaxia Chuanwu, on the other hand, in Huaxia, qigong masters go all over the place, and they kill you within a hundred years with one move, all of them are liars.

The most asked by the apprentices is whether they can really fight after learning the routines, of course, they can fight better than ordinary people, but this ability is actually very limited, in the face of real fighting masters, the fancy routines of traditional martial arts are the biggest flaw. (This is not to say that there is no one who can fight when practicing martial arts, but it is certainly not as mysterious as everyone thinks)

Traditional martial arts are increasingly questioned because they have not developed a set of upgrade systems and competition methods that can adapt to the current era, just like kendo. (When Sanda appeared, Chuanwu refused to admit that Sanda was a martial art)

These are all digressions, to get back to business, although Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know the rules of swordsmanship, but the confrontation between Su Yuxi and Pei Yanchen at the moment is quite beautiful and beautiful, after the two of them half-squatted and saluted, they just stood still, although there was no movement, just raising the sword, but Cheng Xiaoyu felt the majestic momentum of not moving like a mountain.

Kendo Jigu is sometimes more of a mental game, and it is a heart-to-heart battle before the two sides make a move, although they are holding a bamboo sword, which is a real sword in their hearts.

After a while, the situation of the confrontation between the two holding the sword in the middle changed and Su Yuxi made the first move, she held the sword with both hands and moved the bamboo sword to the upper section, which is commonly said to raise the bamboo sword and make a chopping gesture.

And Pei Yanchen also reacted instantly, and began to move around Su Yuxi, his pace was as dense as the wind blowing willows, but his upper body did not move at all, and the bamboo sword did not deviate in the slightest, and it was still maintained in the middle.

Pei Yanchen moved around Su Yuxi like a compass, in order to defend against Su Yuxi's upper attack, and could launch an attack or counterattack at any time according to Su Yuxi's movements.

Of course, Su Yuxi would not let himself be restrained, and shouted: "Ah~~!men (face) ——!"

Pei Yanchen also shouted at the same time: "Stabbing attack." At the same time, he dodged Su Yuxi's head-on blow, and directly held his sword and stretched out his right hand to stab Su Yuxi's throat.

Cheng Xiaoyu was taken aback by the two of them, but at the same time he felt his blood boiling, and at this time he didn't know the specific meaning of the two people's drinking.

Those who know kendo will understand that in order to give people the impression that kendo is a noble sport, not only can they not make feints, but they must even shout out the attack part in advance, and if the position of the shouting is different from the position of the hit, it will not be able to score.

For example, the "MEN" shouted by Su Yuxi is "face", indicating that he was going to slap his face when he came up, while Pei Yanchen responded with "stabbing", saying that he would not BB, and the sisters would seal their throats with a sword.

And this kind of shocking high drinking is also part of the kendo competition, called qihe, and kendo pays attention to the consistency of "qi, sword, and body". Among them, "qi" refers to "qi". "The qi sword body is consistent", that is, when the blow is combined, the bamboo knife, and the body are consistent, in order to exert the greatest strength to hit the opponent.

When Cheng Xiaoyu came back to his senses, the two had already passed by, because the movements of the two were as fast as lightning, Cheng Xiaoyu almost didn't see anything, only the two parties knew what happened at the moment when they were staggered.

Pei Yanchen's straight stab first slid over Su Yuxi's left shoulder, and Su Yuxi's head-on slash slashed at Pei Yanchen's left shoulder.

But if he is holding a real neon knife, then Pei Yanchen is very dangerous, because the power of slashing is greater than that of a straight stab, but after all, this is not a life-and-death fight, if it is, Pei Yanchen will definitely not use such a dangerous trick as stabbing to meet the enemy.

At this moment, Su Yuxi, who passed by Pei Yanchen, was quite surprised, she understood very well that everyone's sword skills and tactics had a lot to do with what kind of character this person was.

Judging from the opponent's moves, he (she) is impatient, fighting, and daring, or full of self-confidence and steady victory, or indecisive, timid, lack of self-confidence, capricious, and accurate.

Su Yuxi originally thought that Pei Yanchen's character should be a righteous style of steady and steady victory, but he thought that Pei Yanchen would use the impractical trick of stabbing with low cost performance in the first blow.

In ancient times, it was extremely risky to use stabbing blows, and it was not safe to use stabbing shots.

Compared with the face, hand and carcass, the effective area of the stab is only the larynx, which is simply too small, not to mention that the unskilled stab will directly stab the neck is more dangerous, even if it is a high-level teacher, it is rarely used in actual combat, because the success rate is too low, and it is very easy to be counterattacked by the opponent.

As long as the opponent guards the middle line, you will basically not be able to stab, and it is easy to be counterattacked or beaten....

However, Su Yuxi didn't have time to analyze Pei Yanchen's character in his mind at the moment, because Pei Yanchen's second straight stab followed, Su Yuxi dodged sideways, letting the wooden sword pass through the protective gear, and with a continuous one-handed stab, Su Yuxi relied on an incredible reaction to dodge the past.

At this moment, Pei Yanchen's heart was also quite shocked, because she knew how fast her stabbing was, and many male swordsmen often fell under her continuous one-handed stabbing, which was her scoring weapon, and the reason why she practiced this move was because her arm span was very long, and practicing her stabbing could allow her to use her height and leg length advantage to score quickly in the battle with girls.

And because she has a firm mind, so such a sword move that most people don't like to use, she practiced it as fast as lightning, so she also won the title of "Jinling Ghost Lily", one of the reasons why it is called "Ghost Lily" is that she moves fast like a ghost, and Lily naturally describes her noble beauty.

This is the first time in many years that Pei Yanchen has not been able to score after using continuous stabbing attacks, and when he stabbed for the fifth time, Su Yuxi did not dodge, but moved the bamboo sword to the middle of the block, at this moment, the bamboo swords of the two were against each other, Su Yuxi forcibly collided and cut back, and after Pei Yanchen's block did not leak, the two immediately retreated and separated.

This round made Cheng Xiaoyu dizzy, and he could only listen to the confrontation of voices, and neither of them was able to score, but Cheng Xiaoyu's heart kept hanging in his throat, and it seemed that whoever was a little careless would be hit by a bamboo sword, and Cheng Xiaoyu felt heartache.

When Cheng Xiaoyu stood aside and was frightened, Pei Yanchen stepped back slightly and immediately began to move around Su Yuxi again to prevent Su Yuxi's sensitive attack, I have to say that Pei Yanchen's footwork is too beautiful, and the second reason why she can get the title of the word "ghost" is because her footwork is elegant and ghostly, and it is difficult for people to lock on.

At this moment, even Su Yuxi felt that it was very tricky, if it was actual combat, she had a lot of methods, but under the rules of kendo, she could only find a way to crack Pei Yanchen's tricks of using footwork and lightning-fast stabbing to score.

The power of Pei Yanchen's footwork is that her upper body holding the sword is as stable as Mount Tai, but the rhythm of movement is fast and slow, which makes people uncertain, so ordinary people can only focus on Pei Yanchen's hand to judge the timing of her sword.

But after the first round of confrontation just now, Su Yuxi knew that it was meaningless to look at his hands, because Pei Yanchen's movements were too fast, so he could only defend by dodging, even if Su Yuxi had dynamic vision, he could only be in a passive state, and if he wanted to win, he had to explore the mystery of Pei Yanchen's steps.

Su Yuxi knew that no matter how fast and mysterious Pei Yanchen's pace was, the moment she was ready to attack, she had to stop, this action was preceded by swinging a sword, so hearing was more reliable than sight....

So Su Yuxi once again raised the bamboo sword to the upper section, and made the same gesture as the last time to hit the face, this action is actually a trap, in fact, Su Yuxi's target this time is Pei Yanchen's hand holding the sword, because the distance between the face is far, if she splits strongly, the end is that she has not yet chopped, and she will be stabbed by Pei Yanchen first.

The first round of confrontation was like this, although Pei Yanchen failed to stab her in the throat to score, Pei Yanchen's bamboo sword touched her shoulder faster, and then he slashed at Pei Yanchen's shoulder.

Although it was assumed to be a real knife, Pei Yanchen's injuries would be more serious, but this was not a result that Su Yuxi could accept.

So this time Su Yuxi changed the target to the hand handed over by Pei Yanchen, so that there would not be a problem of not enough attack distance in the upper section and being stabbed by the other party first, of course, the danger of the thug is also much greater, not to mention that the target of the hand is much smaller than the face, and it is very likely to counterattack after being blocked.

However, assuming that Su Yuxi could hear the moment when Pei Yanchen's footwork paused, and immediately reacted correctly, then Su Yuxi would have an absolute advantage, but purely by listening to the sound to master the timing of the sword, the risk of doing so was naturally great.

A confident person like Su Yuxi would never think that she was taking a risk, she even made an even more crazy move, she stood in the middle holding a sword, closed her eyes directly, and listened to Pei Yanchen's movements purely by ear......

Su Yuxi's move of closing her eyes surprised Pei Yanchen, of course she knew that if she wanted to crack her move, the most direct way was to destroy her footwork, and most swordsmen's approach was to swing their swords to attack, disrupting her rhythm, and then they would be attacked by themselves.

It was the first time she saw the moment when she dared to close her eyes and rely on her sense of hearing to discern the moment of her pause, Pei Yanchen didn't believe that Su Yuxi could be so powerful, she thought it was a gift, so after Pei Yanchen moved again, he suddenly stopped and stabbed with his sword.....

This time, the one-handed stabbing attack was more rapid than the first time, the first time Pei Yanchen didn't know Su Yuxi's strength, there was still room for it, but this time it was all out, she didn't believe that Su Yuxi could dodge her immortal-like blow with her eyes closed.

The unthinkable happened.

Pei Yanchen stopped, and the moment his qi had not yet exited, Su Yuxi suddenly opened his eyes, and shouted: "KOTE!"

In Cheng Xiaoyu's vision, it was as if Pei Yanchen handed his hand over to Su Yuxi.

At this time, it was too late for Pei Yanchen to use the sword to block, and the consequence of forcibly blocking with one hand was that the bamboo sword was taken off, which was considered a foul, this kind of scoundrel thing, Pei Yanchen disdained to do it.

In a hurry, Pei Yanchen climbed hard, relying on his left foot to exert force, the person moved forward, his right hand pinched slightly inward, and the sword naturally extended from the middle to the front, at this time, the hand was not completely straight, but naturally slightly straight, directly clicking on Su Yuxi's throat, this imaginative action could make her move faster.

At this moment, Pei Yanchen could only rely on his speed to hit Su Yuxi's throat first, and strive for a glimmer of opportunity.

But after all, it was Su Yuxi's superior move, which hit Pei Yanchen's right hand to score first, and Pei Yanchen's bamboo sword stopped a little in front of Su Yuxi's throat.

The two confronted each other again in the middle of the sword, Pei Yanchen was not discouraged, or unwilling, she just said softly through the mask: "You are not only beyond my imagination, but also beyond my imagination, it seems that I have to do my best to defeat you." ”

Su Yuxi responded coldly: "No matter which aspect, you can't defeat me, you can't pass the exam, you can't do the violin, and you can't do kendo either.... I'll do this kind of thing to protect my brother, I don't need you to ......"
