Chapter 138: The Way of the Other
Kyoraku Harusui distanced himself from Ethan again, carefully observing Ethan's movements as he held the knife.
Although he couldn't see the knife in the opponent's hand, he could roughly guess the situation of the opponent's weapon from the opponent's posture and the hand he had just exchanged.
"Big sword?"
"The observation of the Kyoko band leader is really amazing. ”
Unlike the one in the night, Ethan simply admitted what weapon he was holding in his hand this time. Shigekuni Yamamoto, who was watching the battle, and Kyoraku Harusui, who was standing in the field, only thought that Ethan was too lazy to hide it, while Yoichi and Uno Hanari, who knew him better, were very sure: 'This guy is going to do tricks!'
"Since you have liberated the Slashing Sword, then I will also release the Slashing Sword!"
The two knives in Jingle Chun's hands were one long and one short, and with the liberation words of 'the flower wind is disordered, the flower god is crying, the heavenly wind is chaotic, the heavenly demon is sneering, and the flower is crazy!', the shape of the two knives has changed significantly.
Ethan didn't have the habit of quietly watching the other party prepare for battle, even if it was just an assessment, he wouldn't let the other party pose over there, and then attack after talking a lot.
At the same time that Jingle Chunshui liberated the slashing knife, Ethan rushed forward again, and the invisible long knife in his hand stabbed out even more.
"Tooth protess!"
The length of the Great Tai Knife combined with the trick used to stab the sword may not increase much in power, but the attack distance has really increased a lot.
Although it was certain that Ethan was holding a large sword in his hand, Jingle Chunshui could not determine its specific length, so in the face of Ethan's surprise attack, he chose to retreat and open up the distance, and at the same time wielded the flower sky crazy bone to make a foolish devotion.
This unleashes a spiral-shaped tornado blade that engulfs an enemy and is strangled by a sharp tornado blade once hit.
Seeing that Essence Dule was rolling towards him, Ethan immediately stopped the momentum of rushing forward, and the invisible long blade in his hand was directly retracted, regaining his previous sword-holding posture.
"Wind King Hammer!"
The wind pressure compressed to the extreme burst out directly in front of him, directly crushing the tornado blade in front of him, forcing Kyoraku Harusui, who had just stabilized his body, to adjust his position again and avoid this powerful wind pillar.
Rumble!
The condensed wind pressure slammed into the wall behind the Jingle Spring Water, making a dull loud noise.
"Oh, if you are hit by this kind of trick, it will be terrible!"
This dojo is a special place for testing, and it was built with special materials, otherwise the captain-level movers could directly knock the team building into ruins if there were no protection measures.
"However, now you can see the body of the knife. ”
The Wind King Hammer is a trick to compress and release the wind wrapped around the blade, and since the winding 'wind' has been released, the hidden blade itself naturally reveals its true appearance.
Although it was only for a moment, the long blade became invisible again, but it was enough for the observant Jingle Harusui!
The people watching the battle around can also think of this, Kuchiki Silver Bell feels that Ethan is still too young, although he has shown good strength, but too much information has been exposed too early to prove that he is seriously inexperienced, if Ethan only has this strength, then he will definitely not be able to pass today's captain's assessment.
Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't have much thought, he had already heard a lot about Ethan from Uno Hanari, and knew that this was a young man with great potential and a lot of talent for swordsmanship, and he was looking forward to what Ethan could show.
And the four maple courtyard Yeyi, who knows Ethan very well, is now more and more sure that "what kind of ......tricks is this thing doing?"
Several spectators continued to watch the two in the arena quietly, and after a preliminary confrontation, Ethan and Jingle Chunshui fought together again.
Unlike the previous fight, this time the two did not distance themselves, and after confirming the situation of the weapon in Ethan's hand, Jingle Chunshui decisively chose close combat.
Although the double knives in his hands are not small, compared to the big Tai Dao with extremely long blades, they still have an advantage in close range, and Ethan must be very uncomfortable in close combat.
Due to the closer distance, the pace of the battle suddenly accelerated, and the two of them did not have time to use bells and whistles, and using the weapons in their hands to attack and defend directly was the most correct choice.
The sound of blades clashing kept echoing in the dojo, and Ethan and Kyoraku Harusui showed off their swordsmanship to the fullest.
Needless to say, as a personal disciple of the chief captain Yamamoto Shigekoku, his swordsmanship strength is absolutely undoubted!
To the surprise of several people, Ethan did not fall behind in the face of Jingle Chunshui's offensive, the long knife in his hand was always perfect to parry the opponent's attack, and made the most correct choice in the shortest time, interrupting and destroying Jingle Chunshui's offensive momentum before it got up, and launching an attack at the right time to gain the upper hand.
Ethan's footsteps are also very good, perfectly matching his swordsmanship moves, keeping a distance not far from Jingle Chunshui, and can perfectly exert the power of his weapon, if Jingle Chunshui finds an opportunity to get close, he will also transform into a single-handed knife form in time, use fists and feet to parry and re-distance from the opponent.
"The basics are solid!"
Ordinary people only think that the two of them are fighting very excitingly, but these few people present can see how good Ethan's basic skills are from this duel that is only a moment of effort.
Shigekuni Yamamoto especially appreciates this!
But that's not enough to be the captain!
"It's almost time to decide. ”
Kuchiki Yinling thinks that Ethan's swordsmanship cultivation is very good, and his strength is also good, but only this level is not enough to become a captain - you must know that Jingle Chunshui has not really used his ability to slash his sword so far, and only uses swordsmanship to deal with the other party, if Ethan can only barely maintain an invincible undefeated opponent in the face of such a Jingle Chunshui......
Just thinking like this, the situation in the field suddenly changed, Ethan no longer responded as cautiously as before, but suddenly picked up the long knife and struck a very imposing blow, and the strong wind wrapped around the blade became frantic because of Ethan's sudden force, and it was no longer the state that could not see any traces at all as before.
"In a hurry?"
After all, this is an assessment related to whether he can be promoted to captain, and it is normal for him to become impatient if his performance is not good enough, even Jingle Chunshui thinks so, but when he parried this violent move, and the strong wind that broke out made his cheeks hurt, he found that Ethan actually took advantage of the strong wind to kill him when the strong wind broke out.
“?”
Seeing that Ethan's left hand was about to attack him, Kyoraku Harusui's first reaction was that Ethan was going to attack him with a white blow, and then he realized that something was wrong, because Ethan's left hand was a stabbing action with a knife.
But it's so close, the length of the Ether Sword can't make this action, right?
Strange in his heart, Jingle Chunshui made a safer choice and jumped up directly to avoid this attack.
Almost as soon as he jumped up, the hem of the pink feathered coat was pierced...... Then there was a stabbing and a cut was made.
Too late to feel distressed, Ethan had already jumped in pursuit, this time with a right-handed attack: still in a knife-holding position, this time in a slashing motion.
"Really?"
The double knife crossed in front of him to block the knife.
A crisp metallic symphony sounded, and as Ethan swung his knife to attack, he heard Ethan chanting, "Fifth Momentum!"
Without any time to think, while parrying this knife, Jingle Chunshui felt two powers from his knife, one after the other, and smashed him back to the ground after jumping.
The sudden change made several people around them stunned for a moment, and when Ethan also fell to the ground, they noticed that Ethan's posture had changed.
"Twin Knife Flow?"
After Jingle Chunshui landed, he immediately retreated to open up the distance, and Ethan did not continue the pursuit.
"Maybe?"
Ethan answered Kyoraku's question with a smile, and made a gesture with his right hand to tap the back of the knife on his shoulder. Although it was not obvious, Kyoraku Harusui could see that Ethan's shoulder was pressed against the back of the knife.
Coupled with the fact that Ethan also has a knife in his left hand, the answer is already obvious.
"The big knife has become a double knife?"
Jingle Chunshui is starting to feel a headache, this ability is a bit troublesome!
"No wonder you don't mind being seen by me when the blade is supposed to be hidden...... By the way, can your knife be turned into another weapon?"
"Maybe!"
Ethan shrugged his shoulders, in fact, what he said to Yeyi at the beginning was not just imitating a certain king, he could indeed change the appearance of the weapon at will.
"That's it!"
Ethan didn't answer, and Yeyi, who was watching the battle, looked a little surprised: It turns out that you didn't fool me casually back then?
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have rushed up to grab Ethan and asked Ethan to show her it.
Next to him, Kuchiki Silver Suzu and Yamamoto Shigekuni's evaluation of Ethan's slashing knife began to improve: Originally, I thought that Ethan's slashing knife was nothing, it was nothing more than using the power of the wind to hide the blade and release wind pressure, and the healing ability of this knife was more valued than having it.
Although the ability is good, it is not top-notch. However, if the Slashing Blade, which can hide the blade, and the ability to change its own form at will, means that Ethan can change weapons at will, and it is difficult for opponents to determine what he is holding at the time.
and with Ethan's good swordsmanship...... That's something to look forward to.
Just when they thought that this assessment had become interesting, and Jingle Chunshui began to feel a little troublesome, Ethan suddenly put on a pose that Jingle Chunshui was particularly familiar with.
"This ......"
It was the pose he was most accustomed to when he unleashed the sword.
"Is it ......?"
"The flower wind is disordered, the flower god is crying, the sky wind is chaotic, the heavenly demon is laughing, and the flower is crazy!"
