Chapter Twenty-Three: Swordsmanship
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month and a half since the opening of the Mao Spiritual Academy, and Xue Xin has gradually adapted to the life of the Mao Spiritual Academy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The coursework is not too heavy, at least the cultural class is very simple, there are only two cultural classes a day, each class is an hour, and the knowledge taught only needs to be memorized.
But in kendo, Yukishin encountered a problem.
This question does not mean that Xue Xin has no qualifications to learn kendo, in fact, he has received assassination training, and he is more familiar with weapons, although the art of assassination uses short swords and kunai, and the sword used in kendo, but Xue Xin can still master it relatively quickly.
Xuexin's so-called problem is a blow from someone without a trace.
"Xue Xin, your kendo is too weak. ”
In the kendo class, Kotsubaki Sentaro looked at Yukishin with a smug expression.
Since the first kendo class, Kotsubaki Sentaro and Yukishin have been assigned to a group of sparring, but the gap between the two is too big, especially Kotsubaki Sentaro's father is a well-known swordsman, Kotsubaki Sentaro is under the influence of his ears, and he doesn't know how high his kendo level is higher than these people.
In other respects, Yukishin is stronger than Kosubaki Sentaro.
In terms of white fighting, Yukishin's physical fitness is extremely tough, and he is good at instantaneous step and melee combat techniques, several grades higher than Kochun Sentaro, ranking first in the class.
The results of the cultural class, in the monthly exam just over, Xuexin was the first in the class, and Koharu Sentaro ranked 20th out of 30 people.
Yukishin will walk in an instant, but Tsubaki Sentaro will not.
Yukishin will also Shiba's family's ghost path Shibo, and Kochun Sentaro has not mastered a ghost path.
But there is only kendo, and Xue Xin is not as good as Kochun Sentaro, which is okay, especially the latter's triumphant appearance, which makes Xue Xin's teeth itch.
"Come again. ”
Xue Xin rested enough, clenched the wooden knife in his hand, stepped forward, and slashed out.
"It's good to come. ”
At the moment when Kotsubaki Sentaro attacked Yukishin, Kotsubaki Sentaro held the knife with both hands, slashed obliquely at the body of Yukishin's wooden knife, shook slightly, and instantly stepped out of his left foot, and the wooden knife in his hand slashed towards Yukishin's neck.
"It's another trick. ”
But the moment he shook his knife, Yukishin took a step back, retreating at a faster speed, Kotsubaki Sentaro's wooden knife almost slashed in front of his neck and fell to the left of Yukishin, and then Yukishin suddenly stepped forward, and the wooden knife in his right hand turned clockwise and cut into Kotsubaki Sentaro's left abdomen.
At this time, Kochun Sentaro's knife was exhausted, and the long knife fell to his right side, unable to retract the knife and block it.
But fortunately, he did not intercept it, but stepped forward and rushed into Xue Xin's arms, and at the same time, the long knife in his right hand turned backhanded, and he pulled it with a trend, and the blade was right across Xue Xin's neck.
When Yukishin saw Kochun Sentaro approaching, he already had a bad feeling, and in order to hit him, he rushed over in reverse, and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Moreover, the knife had been swung out, and when the other party approached, he jammed his arm.
"I lost. ”
Looking at the long knife across his neck, Xue Xin was a little distressed, and he didn't seem to be able to win.
In terms of speed, you are a little faster, prepare in advance, and even move faster than the opponent's swing knife.
And the opponent's tricks can always find their own flaws and attack themselves.
"You're missing impromptu change. ”
Kotsubaki Sentaro said with a smile when he saw Yukishin distressed.
"Temporary change?"
Yukishin looked at Tsubaki Sentaro with a puzzled expression.
Kotsubaki Sentaro said: "You should have found out, my kendo moves are always faster than yours, but my speed is snatched through moves, such as this time, I began to block and find the attack gap and attack you." ”
"This attack of yours really troubles me. ”
When Yukishin first started learning kendo, he was often defeated by him using this technique, but now it is different, Yukishin said, "But this time I expected it in advance, retreated and dodged, and when you ran out of strength, I counterattacked. ”
"That's right, it can be seen that your response has improved this time, anticipating the enemy and reacting in advance. ”
Kotsubaki Sentaro held the knife and said, "My father told me that the level of kendo is divided into ten ranks in the Ryō Court, and one is when novices have just begun to learn, follow the routines and basic movements, and achieve the movement specifications. The second stage knows how to leave room for attack and return in time. The third stage is to create a gap with a sword move and wait for an opportunity to attack. The fourth stage is to detect the enemy's actions in advance, anticipate the enemy's first, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. The fifth stage is that the sword moves with the body, the body and the sword cooperate, and through the change of footsteps, the body rushes forward and backwards, sways left and right, and moves left and right to obtain the opportunity for the long sword to attack. As for the six sections, it is the sword pressure and the fusion of various genres. (The rank in this book is different from the rank of the real kendo rank.) )
Xue Xin nodded and said, "So I am the fourth stage, and the enemy is the first, and you are the fifth stage, and the sword moves with you, this is the gap between me and you." ”
"Hahaha. ”
When Kosubaki Sentaro heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?"
Yukishin looked at Tsubaki Sentaro inexplicably.
The latter laughed for a while before saying, "Sorry, you're not a fourth-dan, and I'm not a fifth-dan." You didn't do a good job in one paragraph, and I barely made it to three. ”
Xue Xin frowned and said, "But I did expect your actions. ”
Tsubaki Sentaro sighed and asked, "But why do you know what I'm going to do next?"
Xue Xin suddenly realized and said, "Because you have used this trick on me more than a dozen times, I have been prepared for a long time and have come up with a way in advance." ”
Kotsubaki Sentaro nodded and said, "So if I deal with it in a different way, it will be difficult for you to make a threatening counterattack against me." And the reason why I was able to use my body to attack with the long sword was only because of these moves, which I used a few times when I was cultivating with my father, and it was a subconscious move. But when it's time for battle, I can't anticipate the enemy. ”
Yukishin looked at Tsubaki Sentaro and said, "But you say that I can't even do a paragraph, what does this mean? But I have already mastered the basic moves of kendo." ”
Kotsubaki Sentaro explained: "First of all, your movements are not standardized, footwork, sword, did not mobilize the whole body, after the sword, the position of the long sword deviates too much, whether the arm is stable, can you tell the difference between the different strength of the sword." Secondly, what you learn is only the basic kendo, that is, the most basic moves in kendo, different genres, and a lot of sword moves. Therefore, your strength may not be satisfied. ”
"I see. ”
Xue Xin sighed, it seems that he is still relatively weak, and he has not even made it to the beginning of kendo.
If you think about it, you've only been learning basic kendo for a month and a half.
In this world, kendo focuses on actual combat and killing, with instantaneous steps and spiritual power, and the destructive power is extremely strong.
Moreover, the sword pressure can shatter the ground in the air, and the power can be transmitted and spread.
There are dozens of genres alone, and the flower of Mao is known as the 8,000 streams.
"Then I'll practice the kendo moves taught by the teacher first. ”
Xue Xin said with a smile, but he looked a little regretful, although there are many schools, in school, there is only basic kendo.
Although he can rely on his instantaneous steps and physical fitness, he can also have strong combat power in basic moves, but in the final analysis, without the inheritance of the genre, his own kendo cannot enter the house.
And the reason why Ling Ling Court only teaches simple kendo is only because it has met daily needs.
The Grim Reaper's fighting method is the first way to slash the sword, the second is the way of ghosts, and the third is the way of the sword.
Even the Grim Reaper uses instantaneous steps more than kendo.
And the ability of the slashing knife is diverse, even in the physics department, there are few first solutions that are followed by knives, or spears, or machetes, or sawtooth, or iron pulp.
As for the enemy, the ordinary virtual body is huge and not humanoid, so kendo is difficult to deal with.
The superior is very weak, the destructive power is extremely strong, and the fighting methods are even more varied, so it is difficult to use kendo.
But is kendo really weak?
His own strength is relatively weak, and he can't play kendo, so of course he looks weak.
But if it is physical fitness, spiritual pressure, instantaneous step, and defense, go hand in hand, reach a certain limit, and have sword pressure.
Then the power of kendo will be highlighted.
Not being able to learn kendo made Xue Xin a little regretful.
And the little Tsubaki Sentaro on the side said with a smile: "You practice the basic kendo first, as for the genre moves, if you want to learn, I can teach you the Beichen Dream Stream that my father taught me." ”
"Is that really possible? Won't your father blame you?"
Xue Xin asked with some excitement, the inheritance of the genre is a very secret thing, he taught it to himself without authorization, I don't know if his father will blame it.
"Absolutely. ”
Tsubaki Sentaro said with a smile, "The Hokushin Dream Flow was learned and improved by my father in this life, and it is not my father's unique skill. And in the present world, it has been changed from Chiba Zhoucheng Fusion One Knife Flow to Beichen One Knife Flow, and it is on the verge of being lost. And the Beichen Dream Flow is just one of the many genres that my father has mastered, which is very suitable for novices to practice. And if you are able to surpass me, I can introduce you to my father and learn the Shinto Mirror Mind Flow that he created based on the Shinto Mindless Stream and the Mirror Heart Wise Stream. ”
Shinto Munnenryu and Kagamishin Wise Ryu are both well-known schools of kendo.
The Shinto Wunian Stream created by Yakuro Saito, the Kagishin Wise Stream created by Haruzo Momoi, and the Kitshin Ichito-ryu created by Chiba Shunari by merging the Hokushin Dream Ryu and the Ichito-ryu into one, are called the three major schools of swords.
And the swordsmanship world is known as "the Chiba of skill, the Momoi of the position, and the Saito of the power".
Shinto has no thought flow, and the focus is on strength and momentum.
The mirror heart is wise, and the focus is on the position.
The Shinto mirror flow created by Kotsubaki Uemon on this basis has both advantages.
"Sentaro, I'll definitely surpass you. ”
Xue Xin was unwilling to give up this opportunity, and looked at Kochun Sentaro and said seriously.
"Hey, don't be so sure, okay, you're so sure I'll be surpassed by you?"
Kotsubaki Sentaro said angrily.
But Xue Xin had already stepped aside and began to practice from the basics of kendo, with meticulous movements.
Seeing this scene, Kotsubaki Sentaro wondered if he had to work hard.
Although he didn't mind introducing him to his father, it was a shame to be surpassed by his own apprentice.
