Taxis depart from Tokyo and walk along the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway's Minato Coast Line for about 10 minutes, then turn into the city and quickly stop at the edge of the city.

The two men got out of the car and stood in front of a courtyard gate surrounded by a wall.

Qi Lin carried his backpack on his right hand, and under the backpack there was a long black weapon bag, and looked up at the courtyard in front of him.

On the periphery of the courtyard is a wooden corridor with a gray pitched roof, and a large one-story wooden structure with a strong cherry blossom ancient style sits quietly in the middle of the courtyard.

The roof of the central building is a sloping roof covered with gray and black tiles, and in the middle of the roof is a plaque with black letters on a white background.

In the center of the plaque are four big characters - White Night Gym.

"White Night Gym." Qi Lin sighed in admiration, turned his head to Shangquan Yiren and said: "Look at the degree of prosperity, the area where this dojo is located, even if it is not in the city center, it is also on the edge of the city center, there is such a dojo in a place where every inch of land is valuable, your family is indeed very rich!" ”

Shangquan Yiren pulled the suitcase for Qi Lian, touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said: "Although grandpa is very annoyed that my father did not inherit his kendo mantle, but if my father did not make money in business, I am afraid that this dojo of our Shangquan family would have been sold for economic reasons." ”

"So, how many students do you have in such a big dojo?" Qi Lin touched his chin: "The location is so good, and it is the Dao Hall of the Shangquan Sword Saint, there must be a lot of students!" ”

Shangquan Yiren scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "At present, there is not a single student"

Qi Lian: "."

Shangquan Yiren let out an idiot-like smile and said: "That's right, when grandpa was still there often, this dojo was indeed a good city, but since grandpa was old and stayed in the outer region for a long time, because he couldn't see the sword saint, and our gym lacked a normal generation who could really control the scene, there were fewer and fewer students. ”

A cold female voice sounded behind the two: "It's not because you're too weak, brother. ”

This female voice actually speaks Chinese, although it still has the smell of cherry blossoms, but compared with Shangquan Yiren, it is already very standard.

Qi Lin turned around and saw an extremely beautiful girl.

Tall, wearing a very cherry blossom-style high school girl's school uniform, long and straight black and purple hair, melon seed face, delicate and charming facial features, and an indifferent expression.

He turned his head to look at the face of Yiren Shangquan, who could not be said to be ugly, but at most upright, and turned his head to look at the girl again.

I couldn't help but put my hand on my chin: 'Isn't it biological?' ’

The girl seemed to see through Qi Lian's thoughts, and suddenly said: "It's a brother and sister, my brother looks like my father, and I look like my mother." ”

Oh ho, I see!

Kamizumi Yiren also turned around, and when he saw the girl, he exclaimed happily: "Tsumiko, you came back very early today, isn't there any activity in the kendo club?" ”

The girl sighed: "Brother, if you are the only guest at home today, it would be too rude to entertain you poorly." ”

Kamizumi Yiren was stunned, then scratched his head embarrassedly, turned his head to Qi Lin who was smiling and looking at them on the side and said: "Qi Shanjun, this is the sister I mentioned to you before, Kamizumi Tsuneko, who is currently in the second year of Fujimi High School, is a genius kendo girl. ”

When Shangquan Yanzi next to him heard Shangquan Yiren's introduction, he immediately bowed decently: "Hello Qi Lianjun, I have heard my brother mention you many times in the past few days, thank you for coming to help." ”

Qi Lin nodded lightly towards Shangquan Yanzi, and said with a light smile: "Hello, I'm Qi Lian, I'm bothering for a while." ”

Kamizumi said softly: "Don't bother, I just hope that Mr. Qi Lin doesn't feel unaccustomed, and the other ......"

"I have a very unreasonable request." Her expression suddenly changed, and she became very serious: "Can you ask Qi Lianjun to practice with me for a game?" ”

At the end of August, under the hot afternoon sun, the beautiful girl with the temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko looked at Qi Lin seriously, and next to them was a confused Shangquan Yiren.

……

The interior of the Kamiizumi family's White Night Dojo.

Qi Lin stood helplessly on the wide tatami mat, holding a bamboo knife in his hand.

The bamboo knife is a simulated knife tool used in the practice of swordsmanship in the Sakura country, which is composed of several pieces of bamboo lashing, because the bamboo is elastic, and the bamboo knife is not a natural bamboo, it is split into several pieces and then tied up, the overall effect is very soft, so compared with the nylon sword or even the special steel sword commonly used in the combat circle, the safety of this thing is a section higher.

Whether it is slashing or even stabbing with normal force, it is almost impossible to cause harm to the human body under the protection of Sakura Kendo's lightweight protective gear.

The most important thing is that the manufacturing cost of this thing is very low, so even today, when the development of military attack is very mature, Sakura Country still maintains the habit of training with bamboo knives, and only in official competitions will it use simulated steel knives.

Qi Lin weighed the bamboo knife in his hand that was about one meter two long and weighed about one catty, and then held it with both hands and hung it in front of him, and the next moment, the temperament of the whole person was as if he had used this bamboo knife thousands of times.

Standing on the edge of the dojo and watching, Shangquan Yiren immediately became energetic and appeared, Qi Lian's talent, no matter what weapon he used, as long as he got his hands on it, he could easily control it.

It's a weapon immortal!

On the opposite side of Qi Lone, Kamizumi Tsuiko, who was neatly dressed in protective gear, also showed a shocked face under the kendo mask.

Obviously, when he took the bamboo knife in his hand just now, he still looked like he had never touched it, but now he has practiced the bamboo knife skills as if he had been tempered a thousand times.

It seems that as the stupid brother said, Qi Lianjun is a terrible genius.

But even then, if you don't wear armor to fight me, you're a little too confident.

Under the mask that was difficult for others to see, Kamizumi stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and held the bamboo knife a little tighter with both hands.

She seemed to have seen the picture of herself slashing the bamboo knife into Qi Lian's body and limbs, splitting the surface of the other party's skin with bruises and even contusions, and she couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Qi Lianjun, if you're sure you don't wear protective gear, then I'm going to go!"

In a weird and excited state of mind, she snorted softly, her footsteps hit the ground hard, and the whole person quickly rushed forward.

'Well, this Kamiizumi Tsuneko's momentum'

Qi Lian's indifferent expression, after feeling the other party's bloodthirsty momentum like a rakshasa, couldn't help but pause slightly.

This girl is not ordinary!

In the next second, Shangquan Yanzi had already burst into front of Qi Lin at an extremely fast speed, and with her coquettish shout, the bamboo knife in her hand quickly slashed at Qi Lian's face with an upper posture.

"Noodles! (Sakura language)"

Very imposing, very standard slash.

Qi Lin smiled slightly, and the bamboo knife that was naturally hanging in front of him was quickly raised in front of him and crossed in front of him, blocking the other party's almost inevitable slash between the lightning and flint.

Ascending carp.

The next moment, his Ashii Mingliu's special blocking and anti-shock power subconsciously burst out, and with the deflection of the bamboo knife in his hand, he flicked the bamboo knife of Kamizumi to the side in one fell swoop.

In a flash, Qi Lin collapsed the girl's posture, but he didn't pursue, just smiled and watched as Kamizumi quickly retreated and returned to the posture of the middle section.

Then he put on a posture similar to that of a cow, and asked aloud: "I heard that in the local rules of Sakura Kendo, stabbing can only be stabbed in the specified position, where is this position?" ”

"Throat area." Kamizumi was silent for a second and then whispered.

Qi Lin continued to smile and asked: "I heard that there is still a saying that it is necessary to 'qi fusion', so how should this stabbing attack be qi combined?" ”

"Pronounced 'Sudden き'!" Kamizumi Tsunzo continued to reply, and then immediately clenched the bamboo knife, staring at Qi Lian's figure with full attention, the other party's meaning was already equivalent to Ming Pai, and the next blow was going to stab her in the throat, if she couldn't even stop it.

"Okay, then you pay attention." Qi Lin nodded and said with a smile: "I'm going to go!" ”

With that, he stepped out with his right foot, touched the ground on his toes, and the whole person turned into a phantom.

"Tsuki! "A non-standard cherry blossom language burst.

Kamizumi immediately raised the bamboo knife and tried to block, but it was too late.

In the eyes of Kamizumi Yanzi, he only saw the round tip of the bamboo knife stabbed by Qi Lin appear in front of him in an instant.

In the next second, the part of her throat that was protected by the mask drooped was slammed!

The whole person was vigorously pushed to withdraw three steps.

Qi Lin put away the bamboo knife, looked at Shangquan Xianzi with a smile, and said: "Your momentum is quite good, and your basic skills are also very strong, I'm afraid you have the strength to be close to the sixth stage, right?" ”

Kamizumi took off his kendo mask, his expression was inexplicable, and he nodded and said: "Thank you Qi Lianjun for your advice, you are right, the coach said that I have begun to have a 'heart eye', and my strength is close to the sixth stage." ”

"Yes, I heard Yiren say that you are only a sophomore in high school, and you have sixth-stage strength at the age of seventeen, and your talent is better than that of your brother." Qi Lin said.

Shangquan Yiren also breathed a sigh of relief at this time and stepped forward: "Qi Lianjun, I'm not that bad!" When I come back from this trip to the outer lands, I'm already about to preach the seventh stage! ”

At this time, Kamizumi Yanzi had already taken off his protective gear, and said to Qi Lin and Shangquan Yiren: "Qi Lone-kun, brother, you talk first, I'm going to cook, and my father will come back here to eat tonight." ”

In this hot summer, Kamizumi only wore protective gear for a while, and then she sweated hotly, and her clothes were wet.

This is one of the reasons why Qi Lin doesn't look like wearing protective gear.

In the evening, a car that looked quite steady drove into the courtyard of the dojo, and a middle-aged man with a good face and a calm expression stepped out of it.

As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately walked to the side house next to the dojo.

Opened the door and entered it, just in time to see Qi Lin and the other three people sitting at the table waiting for his arrival.

Qi Lin looked at this "middle-aged version" of Shangquan Yiren and smiled: "You are Shangquan Yiren's father Shangquan Zhengxin, right?" ”

Shangquan Yiren's father, a middle-aged man who should now be called Shangquan Zhengxin, looked at Qi Lin and smiled, and said in Daxia language, which was even more lame than Shangquan Yiren: "You should be Mr. Qi Shan, you are really young and handsome, and you are a talent!" ”

While speaking, he put down his bag and quickly walked into the seat of the table: "Mr. Qi Lin has been waiting for a long time, let's start eating immediately." ”

Qi Lin nodded, and Shangquan Yiren and Shangquan Yanzi, who were also at the same table, also bowed their heads and said, "I'm moving." ”

So everyone began to bury their heads in cooking.

During the meal, everyone tacitly agreed that they did not speak.

Soon, dinner was over, and Ueizumi took the initiative to clean up the table and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving the three men to continue to sit at the table.

Qi Lin took the initiative to smile and asked Shangquan Zhengxin: "Uncle Shangquan, can you tell me now, what is the origin of this 'Death Madness Sword Fight', and what do you need me to do?" ”

Kamiizumi Masanobu nodded, organized his words with a serious expression, and then raised his head and said: "The reason for this Death Maniac Sword Fight is that there are sixteen large or small enterprises that want to compete for a large long-term business of multinational giants, so in order to avoid meaningless internal conflicts, with the acquiescence of the cabinet, the Death Maniac Association organized this Death Maniac Sword Fight, and the top four of this sword fight jointly undertake this business, of course, the champion has the largest share." ”

"Mr. Qi Lian, I have a preliminary understanding of your strength, and I would like to entrust you to participate in this competition as the 'saber man' of our company, with the goal of winning one of the top four places in this competition, which will provide a huge boost to the development of my enterprise."

After speaking, Kamiizumi Masanobu bowed his head to Qi Lin with a serious expression and gestured for please.

Don't wait until later.,It's not going to be updated until tomorrow.,It's expected to include this chapter tomorrow for a total of three chapters.
