In the next few tens of seconds, Kazuma had to face the opponent's furious attack.

Kazuma completely relied on reaction speed to defend, and his sword skills, routines, and so on were not effective at all under this attack.

Under this attack, Kazuma's defenses were broken through one after another, and although he was wearing armor, there were still several hot and painful places on his body out of thin air.

Obviously, the other party's 23-level new yin current is not in vain.

But something very strange happened.

Although Kazuma defended very badly, he was extremely sure that if this was a life-and-death fight with a real sword, he would be seriously injured, but the opponent would die.

- Is it because I don't want to admit that the other person is strong?

No, no, the other party is very strong, just look at the numbers to know, and before the fight, he and Ma are also mentally prepared to be defeated.

In this case, Kazuma still had the idea that "I can defeat this person in a life-and-death fight".

This must be because of what my body felt during the collision of the bamboo knife.

Concentrate on feeling this "feeling" that your body has captured, but your brain has not yet experienced.

Unexpectedly, in the next few seconds, he actually took all the other party's attacks.

Then, Kazuma had an enlightenment.

This man's sword has no heart.

This is a world where "heart and skill are one" really exists, and you can feel each other's hearts and beliefs from the battle with horses and those strong enemies before.

Whether it's the mutual slash with Nishikiyama Heita, or the sword fight with Daimon Goro, or even the hand-to-hand combat with Ota Thirteen, Kazuma can feel the will of the other party.

Even the guy who fought "Tanuki" Masaaki Tsuda, who had no martial arts spirit at all, could feel something ambiguous in the battle.

But the sword of the person in front of him, although the attack is sharp, has no will to contain it.

It's just pure sword skills.

At the same time that Kazuma was so convinced, the other party paused his offensive and said in a show-off tone, "How does it feel, Kiryu-kun!" Although your tooth protrusion was sharp just now, I'm afraid you're only good at this trick, right? The defense you just had had no rules at all, and you were purely relying on reaction speed to resist! Throw in the towel! You can't beat me now! ”

Kazuma moved his arm, which was a little numb from the continuous hits, and then took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.

The other party saw that he took off his helmet and thought that he was going to admit defeat, and immediately smiled.

However, taking off his helmet with the horse is to let the other party see his contemptuous smile clearly.

When Kimura Nobumori saw Kazuma's expression, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Kazuma spoke, "I admit that your swordsmanship is excellent, but that's about it. Swordsmanship is not just a matter of hard work, a real swordsman will pursue the integration of heart and skill, your sword skills, there is no life,

"I don't have a heart."

He Ma looked at the top of each other's heads as he spoke—in case a wave of mouth cannons knocked the other side into a memory kill and exploded, it wouldn't be fun.

But there was still nothing above the other party's head.

Although he seemed to be out of anger, there were no words that seemed poetic or cool.

Dare to love this Mr. Kimura, there is really no life?

Are you so angry that you don't want to kill them?

Nobumori Kimura spoke: "It's this old tune again, and the people I defeated always like to use this to excuse themselves!" Isn't it good to honestly admit that you are weaker than me?

"One by one, heart and mind skills are one, what kind of dog stinky fart! Sword skills are sword skills, but they are the embodiment of ordinary training, and they are a kind of proficiency! ”

Kazuma looked at Kimura Nobumori with pity.

Because he found that even if Kimura Nobumori was in a state of anger now, he still didn't have a status entry.

It is likely that this person really only practiced swordsmanship, and did not put any passion into life at all.

In some martial arts works, such a person may become one of the strongest because of the setting of martial arts idiots, and when the time comes, he may be able to pretend to be forced while beating those who live passionately: "How can sword skills be such an inconvenient thing." ”

But this world can't.

So he spoke to the horse: "What a pitiful." I can even see that you've only spent your life in the kendo arena up to now. You don't know how beautiful the sunset over Lake Biwa is, and you don't know how gorgeous the cherry blossoms on Itsukushima are......"

"Speak like you know!" Nobumori Kimura interrupted Kazuma's chanting, "You're just a high school student who hasn't even left Tokyo a few times!" ”

He Ma thought yes, but I was a senior business representative in my last life, and I often travel for business.

Of course, he couldn't say that, so he replied sharply: "Yes, but in the future, I will definitely go!" I will embrace life to the fullest, I will never be in one place for the rest of my life, I will not be a frog squatting in a well called a dojo and watching the sky! ”

"You!" Kimura Nobumori was so angry that he hugged the green tendons on his head, but despite this, he still didn't explode.

He put on the posture of the previous paragraph: "Forget it, it's useless to talk too much, you are naïve, let me break it!" Take it, Kiryu and Ma! I will accept the plaque of your dojo today! ”

And the horse also roared back: "If you can get it, come!" Let me tell you, how pathetic you are with only sword skills! ”

"Enough is enough!" The majestic voice suddenly sounded, and although the volume was not loud, it made Kazuma and Kimura Nobumori stop their movements and follow the prestige.

The voice came from the main entrance of the dojo.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties pushed open the sliding door of the dojo and entered everyone's sight.

The old man was dressed in light casual clothes, with a soft hat for the sunshade, and a carrying case for fishing tackle, which looked like he was on his way to fishing.

A tall man in a suit stood behind the old man with a straight face, his broad chest making Kazuma doubt that the thing could carry two of himself with one hand.

You must know that Hema is considered high among boys of the same age, because the muscles of kendo are strong, and they can already be regarded as tigers.

The man in the suit has a dazzling gold status entry on his head: Eternal Boxing Champion.

In Japan, many titles in this kind of athletic sport will be set up with an eternal title, which means that you can always have this title, and it is generally given to those who are strong enough to go down in the history of this competitive sport.

But the eternal boxing king or something, and the horse is the first time I've heard of it.

Standing there, the strong man exuded a terrible oppressive force, and his presence exploded, and no one could ignore his strong muscles that were about to tear his suit apart.

Compared with the strong man, the old fisherman who walked in front looked much weaker.

However, this is not the case in the eyes of Kazuma.

Although the state entry of the strong man's eternal boxing champion is golden, it is still not as terrifying as the string of entries above the old man's head.

The first entry comes up, simple and straightforward: Juggernaut

No special effects, just two words.

The next one is "The Dragon of Echigo", who is familiar with the history of the Warring States period and has to lie down on this title as soon as he sees it, not to mention that this entry has a special effect, it has a shading pattern as a background, nothing else, it is Uesugi Kenshin's Kunshamen Heavenly Battle Flag.

These two entries are scary enough, but there is a string of temporary entries with a time limit behind the old man.

The first one is called "Joy in the Tea Ceremony", which means "peace is gained in the tea ceremony".

The second one is called "Dingdong Sanmi", which is explained because the old man listened to a shamisen performance this morning......

In addition, the net glass that the old man listened to last night also provided him with a BUFF, and the time was almost over.

Kazuma looked at this string of temporary buffs and felt very complicated - what the hell, I not only have to be able to recite poetry, but also be able to taste the tea ceremony, play the shamisen, and appreciate the pure glass? Only in this way can you collect all the buffs and make yourself the strongest?

When he was shocked, the entire dojo, including the extreme path in the courtyard outside the dojo, all bowed to the old man.

Kimura Nobumori didn't know the old man, and he hurriedly bowed to the old man when he saw others bowing.

The old man waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I heard about such a thing halfway, come over to see the excitement, don't be so cumbersome." ”

The extremists all straightened their waists.

Kazuma glanced at Mr. Shiramine, who was still arrogant just now, and found that this fifty-year-old Abel was now as deferential as a middle-level manager facing the chairman.

So Hema probably knew the identity of the old man.

But you still have to ask.

Based on politeness, Kazuma first reported to his home: "Natural Rational Flow, Kiryu and Ma, may I ask who you are?" ”

The old man smiled:

"The joint chief of the Kanto region

Soichiro Uesugi

I've heard of the name for a long time, Kiryu-kun. ”
