Kazuma Miyamoto got up slowly, walked with the girl into the courtyard, and came to the man with a scar on his face.

Only then did the man who practiced the sword stop his madness, the coldness in his eyes was slightly retracted, and he bowed down politely to Miyamoto and said, "Master! ”

Miyamoto Kazuma waved his hand and said: "Failure is not terrible, strong people are never afraid of failure, they will only see failure as their stepping stone, which can make themselves stronger in the future." You have lost this time, and it is right to work hard, but you must not lose the faith in your heart, nor can you be completely blinded by hatred. A swordsman who wants to become stronger, hatred is not the most fundamental motivation, this is putting the cart before the horse. ”

"I remembered. Thank you, Master, for your teachings. ”

Miyamoto Endo raised his head and said.

"It's just that you can't remember, it's more important to control yourself."

Kazuma Miyamoto said.

"Everyone has failures, even if I am the master, I was also a big defeat back then, and I was a mess, so I was able to concentrate on cultivation for more than ten years later. I hope you don't see failure as a burden, but as motivation. ”

Hearing this, not only Miyamoto Endo, but even the girl Yamamoto Ruoshui also had a look in her eyes, and at the same time there was endless curiosity in her eyes.

As Miyamoto Kazuma's apprentices, they are naturally extremely clear about their master's brilliant achievements back then, and they know that Miyamoto Kazuma once challenged seventeen famous kendo masters more than ten years ago, and none of them were defeated.

It's just that in the end, he lost to the legendary master of the sword drawing technique, Yanagi Zongju.

Regarding this battle, except for the parties Miyamoto Kazuma and Yagyu Muneki, others are not clear at all what happened at this station and how Yagyu Muneju won Miyamoto Kazuma.

Even if more than ten years have passed, the first battle between the two is still a secret in the Japanese kendo world, and even Miyamoto Endo, Miyamoto Kazuma's favorite apprentice, does not know.

This is a secret that countless people still talk about today.

Speculation.

But it also seemed to be a taboo, and no one had ever dared to ask Miyamoto Kazuma or Yagyu Muneki.

Today is the first time that Miyamoto Kazuma has mentioned the events of that year in front of his disciples.

Back then, they won seventeen battles and seventeen victories, and they were almost masters who fought all over the four major islands of Japan.

The battle with the sword-drawing technique Yanagi Zongju was actually not just decided.

It's a big defeat, and a big defeat?

！

No wonder, after their master competed, they came back directly to retreat for more than ten years, which should have been a big blow at that time.

Just like Miyamoto Endo, who was originally on a casual trip to China, he didn't take Chinese kendo to heart at all, and felt that he would crush the other party as lightly as before.

But I never wanted to be defeated by a weak woman.

And it also left a hideous scar on the face!

This is an absolute disgrace!

Endo, who was in a depressed mood, looked up at Miyamoto Kazuma, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Master, how did he defeat you in the battle between you and Yanagi's predecessor fourteen years ago?" ”

"How to beat? Maybe the next time I play him, I'll be able to understand how I lost. ”

Miyamoto Kazuma didn't have anger on his face when he heard this, and he didn't smile.

What he had on his face turned out to be just confused!

Because now more than ten years have passed, he has been cultivating for more than ten years, and he has not yet come up with the battle between him and Yanagi Zongju.

What a defeat!

Miyamoto Kazuma's eyes were a little fluttering, and he returned to the scene more than ten years ago, holding two swords in his hand to fight against Yanagi Soju in the closed dojo.

At that time, he was faced with Miyamoto Kazuma, who had defeated seventeen swordsmanship masters in a row.

When Yanagi Zongju went to the appointment, his hands were empty, and he didn't take any weapons.

Miyamoto Kazuma thought that Yagyu was too big and was despising him, and he felt angry and wanted to teach this legendary master of sword drawing a hard lesson.

But the final result shocked him.

He has always been invincible, and he was just about to make a move in front of Yanagi Zongju, showing his incomparably cumbersome and subtle second sword flow.

As a result, the moment he drew his sword, he was completely controlled by Yanagi Zongju.

Can't move!

Yanagi Zongju entered the white blade empty-handed, so that he couldn't pull out the knife.

Then a counterattack defeated him completely.

At that time, Miyamoto Kazuma understood the true artistic conception of Iai's sword drawing technique.

Understand what it means to be 'no-cut'.

At that time, he was already a master of swordsmanship, but he couldn't even draw a sword in front of Yanagi Zongju, and he was directly accused by the other party of holding the weapon in his hand, and became a situation where he had a knife as if he had no knife!

This Juhe Drawing Sword Technique is really terrifying, and when cultivated to the extreme, it is completely capable of killing with one hit, and it is almost impossible for anyone to survive under this subtle and fast ferocious move.

Although in the past ten years, Miyamoto Kazuma's kendo cultivation has already reached a higher level and become unfathomable.

But only he knows that even if he goes back to the battle with Yanagi Zongju more than ten years ago, he is not sure that he will be able to defeat Yanagi Zongju.

He would definitely be able to draw his sword in the middle of the battle now and fight back against Yagyu Soki.

But he didn't feel that his strength was already able to really fight with Yanagi Zongju.

You must know that when Yanagi Zongju defeated him at that time, he was empty-handed and did not hold a knife in his hand.

If Yagyu had held a knife in his hand and had not used the 'no killing to win' technique of entering the white blade empty-handed, but had attacked head-on, would he have been able to defeat the world's most powerful sword drawing technique?

So, now Miyamoto Kazuma says that he still doesn't know how he lost.

Maybe in the future, he will fight with Yanagi Zongju again, forcing Yanagi Zongju to take out his weapons, so that he can know where he has been defeated.

Miyamoto Kazuma said it more easily, but Miyamoto Fujino and Yamamoto Wakamizu were shocked and their eyes widened.

Their master still doesn't know how he was defeated!

"Could it be that master, you are not Yanagi Zongju's opponent now?"

Miyamoto Fujino couldn't help but ask.

He knew very well how far his master's current kendo cultivation had been, and how terrifying it had become.

In his opinion, the master of fourteen years ago was defeated at the hands of Yagyu Soju and failed to become the first person in the Japanese kendo world.

But fourteen years have passed, and his master must be the first person to deserve.

But he didn't expect his master to say that.

Miyamoto Kazuma shook his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "Yagyu Zongju is my lifelong opponent. If I had been sure that I would be able to defeat him, I would have come to visit him again these years, and I would not have devoted myself to cultivating for the past fourteen years. ”

Hearing Miyamoto Kazuma admit in disguise that he was still not Yagyu Zongju's opponent, Miyamoto Fujino and Yamamoto Ruoshui couldn't help but exclaim: "How is this possible! ”

"Nothing is impossible."

Miyamoto Kazuma said lightly.

"However, even if I am not his opponent, I will definitely come to challenge him again when I come back after this trip to China!"

"This ...... And why? ”

Miyamoto Fujino asked.

Now that you are not sure of defeating the Yanagi Sect, why don't you continue to cultivate and wait until you are sure to come to the door to challenge?

"Because I have a death pact with Yagyu Soju, as long as we are not dead to each other, we will fight again in fifteen years! Calculate the time, and when I come back from China, it will be about the same. ”

There was a smile on Miyamoto Kazuma's face.

"So, I hope that the young woman who can defeat you will not disappoint me too much, and will also give me one more stone in this trip to 'sharpen my sword'."

That's right, the main purpose of Miyamoto Kazuma's trip to China this time was not to take revenge because his eldest disciple was defeated.

His main purpose is to 'sharpen his sword'!

The so-called sharpening of the sword is actually similar to the way Liu Yunduo went around looking for people to invite to fight.

Tong guò competes with different swordsmanship masters, seeking a little aura under the pressure of life and death, so that he can break through his own kendo.

For a swordsman, the best way to quickly improve his strength is undoubtedly to constantly compete with masters.

The current Miyamoto Kazuma challenges Yagyu Soju, he doesn't have any certainty, but if his swordsmanship can go one step further and break through the shackles, then he can make the impossible possible!

Fourteen years ago, Kazuma Miyamoto trekked to the four major islands of Japan and challenged seventeen kendo masters in a row, which was equivalent to sharpening his sword.

It's just that now for Miyamoto Kazuma, he has almost seen the kendo of all major schools in Japan.

The only thing he had yet to see was that he had not yet seen the technique of drawing the sword, but he was not sure of victory, and that was where he would challenge in the end.

Staying in Japan to sharpen his sword, he won't have much to gain.

Now, for him, the best destination is to go to the ancient and profound China, so that he can continue to 'sharpen his sword'.

Chinese swordsmanship has a long history of thousands of years.

During the Warring States Period, there was such a thing as Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, and there were already powerful swordsmen, and Japanese kendo can be said to have also been transmitted from China.

Although most of the Chinese swordsmanship is now lost, only the fist and foot kung fu has mostly been preserved because of the government.

But Miyamoto Kazuma knows that there are still many real masters in China.

Chinese swordsmanship is completely different from Japanese swordsmanship, and Miyamoto Kazuma is going to 'sharpen his sword' and challenge the major Chinese swordsmanship masters, and he will definitely gain something.

After a while, Miyamoto Kazuma retracted his thoughts, and instead continued to look at his eldest disciple Miyamoto Fujino and said, "I heard Ruoshui say that the scars on your face can actually be completely erased, why don't you agree?" ”

Miyamoto Fujino lowered his head and snorted, before he said coldly: "Just like the master said." The strong will not be afraid of failure, but will only see failure as their stepping stone. This scar on my face reminds me and keeps me motivated! ”

"Good."

Miyamoto nodded in satisfaction.

As a swordsman, a samurai, it's really not a big deal to have scars on your body.

The main thing is to remember where these scars come from so that you don't have more scars on your body in the future!

For his eldest disciple, the family of the second sword stream in the future, Miyamoto Kazuma is very happy to have this enlightenment.
